The last few weeks, there have been lots of movement and new developments happening within the Bravo Cinematic Universe. There's always been hiring and firings, we're used to those, and most of the time, we see them coming. But just a few weeks ago, we got the exciting news that there will be not one, but two versions of the Real Housewives of New York City. They are calling them RHONY: Legacy, which will feature new ladies, and RHONY: Throwback, which will feature some of the faves from the past.

Then, after that was announced, rumors started swirling about a possible Vanderpump Rules reboot and/or spinoff, and maybe a Shahs of Sunset spinoff, since that show got the boot last week.

This all got me thinking about the recent lineup of guests from Watch What Happens Live!

It's been a little odd, don't you think?

Now, we know Bravo loves to promote their shows, and sometimes I do think they like to test audience reception to their cast members, so I have a theory: the WWHL lineup is a test-run for the new reboots and spinoffs to come. Let's get into it.

Luann de Lesseps

Luann de Lesseps, a veteran of RHONY, was on Watch What Happens Live! recently and I remember thinking... Hmm it is odd that Luann is on with Margaret Josephs, because Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip isn't airing and RHONY isn't even filming. Why is she there?
