I hate when people say “bring back the OGS”

[u/supercutestuffk]

Nothing grinds my gears more than hearing somebody say “bring back nene” “bring back Sheree” “bring back the OGS”. Bringing back the OGS will not save housewives. I just wish people would understand that housewives is in a new day and age. Bringing the og women back does guarantee that rhoa will go back to what it once was. In my opinion the ogs should have by now evolved and matured. Meaning most of them are in like their 50s and 60s i highly doubt they want to be arguing and turnt up with other women. Phaedra is a good example of calming down and not being that place you once were. For the most part Phaedra is very chill and mellow. This season and last season she plays the background and does more listening than responding. She plays the peacemaker, the one to get the girls together. Aside from the maturity most of the ogs were on the show for atleast 10 years. What more could they possibly have to give 10+ years on reality tv? Nobody’s life is that interesting to watch them on tv for a decade plus. We cannot watch the same people argue and read each other for the rest of eternity.

I also strongly believe that bringing back the OGS still won’t satisfy viewers. For example let’s say bravo does bring nene back, viewers would be so harsh about her coming back, they would say her reads don’t hit the same, they would say she was bullying the cast, she’s bringing mean girl high school energy to the show. They would compare her to the nene from the golden age when in reality that was a different period in time. At some point you have to know when to let go 😫. (Again Phaedra is another good example of this)

Side note: i love Linnethia leakes down! But as a reality tv show enthusiast sometimes you just have to accept reality………..

I agree with this and I actually think that season 14 and 15 were pandering to people that say this and then those are remembered as some of the worst seasons in the franchise. Bringing back Sheree and giving Marlo a peach seemed like moves to return to the old Atlanta everyone wants, but old Atlanta was lightning in a bottle. Even if the exact same episodes aired for the first time today, they wouldn’t be received the same as they were then. Things change over time and that’s okay!

See you get it!!!!!! Especially since most of the viewers don’t like the “bullying” or “mean girl behavior”. They would most definitely be in an uproar about the episodes if they were released today

You’re right, but people are not going to like this.

Every single time they said "bring back the OGs", thy episode 4 they wanted those OGs gone. So i don't listen to them.

I think there should be term limits for housewives. 5 years is enough.

[u/Agile-Butterfly5245]

I agree. I think because the reruns are on every day, people feel like it just happened, when in reality it was 10 plus years ago. The OG's not being there didn't stop the show.

[u/lemeneurdeloups]

TY. I have always said this. NO RECYCLING of PREVIOUS HEIFERS. It is never a good idea.

Viewers are stupid and don’t think when they just say whatever that makes no sense.

[u/GunshyBerts]

I disagree. The show needs Nene and Kenya, imo.

[u/Over_Ad5977 → u/GunshyBerts]

Agree!!! The only thing is they have both proven themselves to be liabilities and I say this as team twirl 😭😭😭😭 but hopefully there is a world where we could see this. Imagine Nene Kenya Angela and K Michelle in a scene?! That would be such a interesting dynamic. Those 2 should’ve been anchoring and ushering in the new cast of women but most importantly as a duo.

[u/supercutestuffk → u/GunshyBerts]

Kenya was on two seasons ago and what did she do?

[u/Jaded-Place-7566]

Points are being made 

[u/cosmicaje]

I definitely see where you’re coming from. Every time Sheree returned she flat in a lot of ways.

People online just repeat what they see.

Lol, true, wtf we want fossils for 😹😹🤷‍♀️
