Are Erika Jayne And Rinna Essential To RHOBH?
There are those women on Real Housewives who people love to hate, who people really do not like at times but we all know they are essential for the show. When I think about housewives like this, I think of Dorinda, Tamra, Brandi Glanville, Kenya (just a few, and yes those are my faves but people hate them LOL).
But then we have Erika Jayne and Rinna who have become these caricatures and are just there to stir things up and bully other women off the show. And with Rinna, you never get anything personal from her. Just constantly coming at the women, and Erika thinks the scarier she sounds, she can make others back down. I'm exhausted but I'm scared of what the show would be like without them...
Where do you guys stand?

We need one of them, not both. Once alliances get made on housewives and they refuse to question or criticize certain people out of loyalty, they need to be kicked off. Be like Potomac where you can be friends but also be shady to people. Ashley Darby is the best at this.
I don't mind Rinna acting and being fake, but she's putting on a boring show. At least give us something juicier to talk about, even if it is mostly manufactured!
Yeah I agree with you! I don't think they're necessary for the show to be GREAT! We really are in need of some personal sh*t from Rinna... she's been coasting on other's drama for years!
Rinna got to a point where she was somewhat likable but it's gone too far. She's acting most of the time now and enough is enough. Sure she's good for drama but that's all it is, there's nothing that makes me want to watch a scene of her and her life alone
nope! The fraud 5 needs to be broken up. I hate when the housewives form alliances because then it makes it hard to watch. Rinna has had no storyline throughout the show besides sticking her nose in other peoples business. After seeing the way Erika talked to those producers, I would say she can go because its like if it wasn’t for Bravo you would be going through hell. I say if we’re going to keep Rinna, bring THE Kim Richards to come handle her 😏
I think Erika still has a story to play out but I could see this being the last season for her. I felt Rinna could've left ages ago. I honestly can't stand her because it all feels SO put on. Like she's showing up for work on a soap opera... It's become very apparent that they have agreements to not discuss certain things on camera and Rinna gets away with giving nothing of her own life.
I think they are… for now. I would say we need one more season checking in with Erika, and then, after that, I think we’re good to move on. Rinna, I’m less convinced we need back, but I also recognize she brings drama. If we were to cut her off, would the show become… boring?
I do feel like I’m ready for a Garcelle and Sutton renaissance though.
I actually prefer watching Erika new vs. before her crime drama — she seemed oddly untouchable before, and I like her on the defensive. I don't love how she talks to other women, but I think ultimately she's making things worse for herself, which I'm here for.
I'm torn on Rinna. I used to LOVE her, but she seems to constantly come out on the wrong side of Housewives history. And I worry about her daughters.
I think that both are now replaceable. Seeing Erika’s attitude during this entire orphans and widows things has taken away the joy in her cold hearted attitude. And Rinna was essential for pot stirring for a few seasons actually but when she refuses to let her personal business take the spotlight — it’s no good.
