Reality on Bravo

Bravo and MadJack Entertainment are putting a new spin on the dating show: getting divorced mates to play matchmaker for each other. It’s a very new take on the whole concept of dating and relationships. We want to explore your relationship, the fundamentals of your marriage and split up, what attracted you to each other in the first place and what other people find attractive about your relationship and you!

This casting call is courtesy of Reality Wanted, a great website where you’ll find casting calls for all sorts of reality shows. Check them out today, or read about them in the upcoming May edition of the RoB newsletter.

Could you be the Reality on Bravo newsletter’s May fan of the month?

I’m looking for one good fan (or group of fans) to serve as the Reality on Bravo fan of the month. You have some bigs shows to fill, with previous fans of the month being Michael’s Minions and Laz West, but if Tim Gunn is your guru or you never miss an episode of workout, you might be the perfect fan.

Contact me today at allison.boyer-at-yahoo-dot-com, or using the comment box on the left with a paragraph about why you’d be the perfect fan of the month.

Remember, at the end of the year, RoB fans will get to vote on their favorite fan of the month, and that fan will get a special prize!!

Bravo execs have recently announced that they will be expanding to show original programming on Thursday nights. Currently, their original programming is seen on Tuesdays (Work Out, Real Housewives) and Wednesdays (the competition shows). They’re adding a whole new groups of shows to the mix, starting this summer, and although I’m a bit skeptical about some, only time will tell. Hey, I thought Real Housewives sounded horrible, but I got hooked. Look forward to:

~Renewed seasons of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Top Chef (premiering this summer), Project Runway (premiering this fall), Million Dollar Listing, and My Life on the D-List (premiering June 5)

~Hey Paula, a show following the life of Paula Abdul (premiering this summer)

~Miami Spice, a web-only show on TopChefOnline.com featuring season 2 contestant Elia Aboumrad

~Flipping Out, a series about a business man from Los Angeles who is making a killing in real estate

~Welcome to the Parker, a reality show similar to Work Out (from what I’ve read), but about a Palm Springs hotel instead of a gym

~First Class All the Way, a show following a luxury real estate agent’s life

~Millionaire Matchmaker, a series in which an LA women has a talent for matching rich and famous guys with their true loves

Sounds like a lot on their plate, but with the success of their current original programming, I have high hopes.

Well, it looks like there will be a third season of the Real Housewives of Orange County, but the original ladies look like they’re done with the show. Bravo has announced open casting calls for 5 new families living in the OC who would be willing to open up their lives for the camera.

The first casting open call will be at the Braemar Country Club in Tarzana from noon to 4 PM TOMORROW (Sat, March 31) and the second will be at the same time in one week (Sat, April 7). No location has been announced for the second date.

Applicants must be ready to “tell their story” at the casting call. To be considered, you must live in Calabasas or Orange County, and be dating, engaged, married, divorced, or remarried (aka, if you’re single, you don’t qualify as a “wife”). Their preference is for women aged 30-45 with active children over the age of 13 and “big personalities.”

You can call 818-557-1198 for more information or email housewives@evolutionusa.com! You can also apply online here.
