I’m willing to give it a try, only because a) I love Kandi, and b) like @KatieB said, it might ended up being more about a different group of people versus just Kandi. 

BUT, I would love to see more originals like Summer House, but I feel like they’re scared to do anything that isn’t already in the Bravo universe after failures like Camp Getaway. 

I think this spin off will be different only bc it is focused on her restaurant & the employees sort of how Lisa Vanderpump has Vanderpump Rules. I’m excited about it plus an added bonus is her aunties who I find hilarious. 

I feel like Bravo is looking for a new LVP and hey Kandi owns restaurants so let’s try her🤦‍♀️. Just by the previews you can tell they’ve watched Vanderpump Rules and are going to “be just like those crazy kids but crazier🙃” won’t watch because I already feel they are trying too hard and I just cannot get behind Todd. There’s just something about him that’s cringe. 

Real Housewives of Atlanta is one of the most iconic franchises in Bravo history so it makes sense that it would have spin-offs, but is it necessary? 

Porsha had a major glow up in recent RHOA seasons and became a fan favorite, which naturally led to her show “Porsha’s Family Matters”. Basically all of the growth she had made over the years was immediately squashed with the new show. The show honestly just felt like damage control since we all knew she stole her now current fiancé from RHOA friend, Falynn.

The spin off wasn’t necessary at all, and honestly not even that good. So I started to wonder, do we need “Kandi and the Gang”? Probably not, and I honestly don’t want it. I think a housewife spin off is ONLY appropriate when a major milestone is occurring like a wedding or a baby. Kandi is a legendary Housewife but she didn’t really have much going on last season of RHOA. Does she have enough going on to make us care about what’s going on solely in her life without the other RHOA storylines? I won't be tuning in unless I hear that it's incredible, which let's be real...seems unlikely.

Do we need another RHOA spin-off with "Kandi and the Gang"?
