After the cast proclamation was FINALLY released for Bravo's Real Housewives of Dallas today, my telephone blew UP. I got hence many calls together with text messages, Facebook posts, together with tweets call for a) why I wasn't on the cast together with b) if I wasn't on the cast, why inward the basis had I non written virtually this exhibit sooner if I knew virtually it!? Let me explain... I realize many of y'all belike mean value that this weblog is my full-time chore - but it's not. I am a publicist for an advertizing means together with dorsum inward the Summer of 2014 I was representing a Dallas existent estate agent who had previously lived inward California. Years agone Bravo's had tried to cast her for the Real Housewives of Orange County. She wasn't interested inward that exhibit but the producers liked her together with they had sort of kept tabs on her throughout the years. In the summertime of 2014 Bravo was exploring the view of a possible offshoot of Million Dollar Listings inward Houston or Dallas. H5N1 casting agent reached out to my customer to approximate her involvement inward MDL together with I got looped into the conversation because of my purpose equally her publicist. That exhibit never happened, but a few months after they came dorsum around together with said they were working on some other exhibit they view would survive an fifty-fifty amend gibe for her. This would survive a reality exhibit virtually women who had in 1 trial had everything coin could purchase - houses, cars, servants, jewelry - together with for whatever argue had lost it all together with were rebuilding their lives. It would survive a exhibit virtually instant chances. As nosotros began having conversations virtually the concept together with my client's possible purpose inward the show, the casting agent asked me if I knew other women that mightiness survive a fit. So, from the earliest stages of this game, I was right smack dab inward the middle of this project.

The casting agent kept maxim to me, "Don't y'all desire to survive considered for this show? You would survive swell on a reality TV program!" At the time, I view it would survive a conflict of interest, considering my purpose alongside said customer equally her marketing together with PR representative. So, I declined each fourth dimension I was asked. The exhibit apparently morphed over the adjacent few months together with the "second chances" angle got dropped. The working championship was right away "How To Make it inward Dallas". And allow me teach far clear that at this betoken Bravo was non involved. We had no view what network this exhibit would cease upward on. By the autumn of 2014, the cast had been selected together with ii of my best friends had made the cut: LeeAnne Locken together with Tiffany Hendra. I run inward the same social circles equally Cary Deuber together with nosotros accept been friendly for several years. Brandi Redmond together with Stephanie Hollman were novel names to me together with I didn't teach to know them until filming began. It was several months into filming that nosotros industrial plant life out that it would indeed survive Bravo that this exhibit would air on. I mean value it's actually of import to move along this inward hear when watching the exhibit - to know that no 1 involved knew what they were filming for. It was really virtually only letting cameras follow y'all around together with capture your daily life together with interactions alongside the other cast members.
So, let's teach to the purpose virtually how a blogger who writes virtually reality tv together with celebrities could know hence much virtually this projection together with non survive shouting virtually it from the rooftops. I accept written virtually Most Eligible Dallas, Courtney Loves Dallas, DALLAS, The H5N1 List: Dallas, together with pretty much every reality exhibit that has filmed hither over the in conclusion 8 years. If y'all recall, Big Rich Texas filmed hither several years agone for the Style network. As per the norm, I had gotten friendly alongside the cast members together with chronicled many of their dramas. There is ever a lot going on behind the scenes alongside whatever exhibit together with during filming the cast isn't allowed to speak virtually what's taking place. It's inward their contract that they can't divulge whatever information that would survive considered a "spoiler" prior to the exhibit airing. So they were to a greater extent than than happy to tell me things together with accept me vocalisation the drama on their behalf. They got to dig on their cast mates together with accept their vocalisation heard together with I got scoop that no 1 else had. It was a win/win scenario. Except that the Producers of the exhibit got really unhappy that I kept divulging scoop virtually the exhibit together with their cast together with banned me from whatever laid where they were filming. They likewise issued a decree that no cast fellow member was allowed to speak to me. (Which didn't work, past times the way, they all all the same did.) But it did brand my chore a lot harder. So when this exhibit rolled around I had ii choices: a) I could stick alongside my Nancy Drew purpose together with survive the weblog that had all the scoop first, knowing it would motility major problems alongside the production fellowship or b) I could move along my oral cavity shut, survive a purpose of what was happening, bask the ride alongside my friends together with all the same accept all the best scoop - but only accept to percentage it after together with surrender beingness first. I decided the later. And equally a result, was involved inward many of the show's scenes. So, inward a way, I am a purpose of it together with chances are (depending on editing) that y'all volition encounter me popping upward hither together with at that spot on the exhibit inward a "friend of the existent housewives" sort of role.
Keeping the exhibit - together with and then the cast - a hugger-mugger has been super hard. But I make non regret my decision. In the end, I didn't teach the satisfaction of breaking whatever tidings but I accept had an amazing fourth dimension beingness a purpose of the process. I accept fabulous antidotes, photos from the scenes/events together with gossip that no 1 else has together with I volition survive sharing it all... equally the segments air. Best of all, I accept had a consummate together with utter BLAST going through this sense alongside my friends. And the coolest part, is that the best is yet to come! If y'all are interested inward getting to know these ladies, connect alongside me on my social channels together with teach gear upward to follow along... It's gonna survive a wild ride!

UPDATE 2.13.16
LeeAnne Locken corrected me on 1 detail. Initially, the network was non disclosed - hence I was right virtually that - but past times the fourth dimension they had narrowed it downwards to a pocket-size grouping of ladies for consideration, Bravo had signed on to greenlight the pilot. It is truthful that the ladies selected did non know they were filming Real Housewives. The "working title" was How To Make it In Dallas together with the Ladies of Dallas earlier Bravo finally decided to launch this exhibit equally RHOD. Pardon the error, but this did all happen a twelvemonth together with a one-half ago. I tin barely call back what I did a calendar week ago!
