An explanation of sorts

Via Gatecrasher:

In the wake of the cable network's abrupt announcement Thursday that it was delaying the Feb. 15 premiere of the reality series' fourth season until March or April, a source close to the program tells us producers are "a little worried" about early reaction to the show.

The actual housewives were as surprised by the move as their fans. They learned about the change only hours before Bravo's decision, via an internal memo sent to them by Bravo executive vice president Andy Cohen.

The message, marked "URGENT," informed Ramona Singer, Jill Zarin, Kelly Bensimon and the rest that "RHONYC" would be delayed until spring to give Bravo "more time to make the show as GREAT and as big a hit as possible."

Cohen apologized "for the inconvenience," then dropped another bombshell: The newest entry in the franchise, "The Real Housewives of Miami," which he said "has been ready to go for a while," would debut in the "RHONY" slot on Feb. 22.

After requesting that the email's recipients refrain from tweeting any of it, he signed off, "XX Andy."

I love how the article includes that Andy signs business emails "XX."  DAMMIT!  I just can't stay mad at that man.

What? I mean, WHAT?

There's a Real Housewives of Miami.  It's premiering February 22.  Bravo is delaying Real Housewives of New York City until spring.  (via here) 

Take a minute to let that sink into your brain, will you?

Now please watch the preview for Miami:

NO ME GUSTA.

I am like a pitbull on a chain for Jill Zarin, you know?  I'm ready for her.  And Bravo gives us Miami, which looks HORRIBLE (and I mean horrible-bad, not horrible-good).  I mean, GOD, is that Steven Cojacaru at :46?

I wasn't going to eat any M&Ms today.  I wasn't.  But now I have no choice.  Andy Cohen, I hold you responsible for my cellulite. 

Please discuss.
