CAMELOT FANTASIES

I understand what you are saying but I believe the viewing audience chose Nene because she was just a larger personality. She was more interesting because she WAS more interesting. I believe Carlos liked Nene for the same reasons Andy did.

Nene was not the only person Bravo went out for.  But someone has to bite when they go out for you. Not everyone wants to take a chance on a reality star especially one with a luke warm fan base. I know for a fact Bravo tried to help Sheree. I told you I knew this earlier but, I didn't tell you how I knew.
They called my nephew in Atlanta who is known there for his model shoots to help design Sheree's swimsuit or workout line. I can't remember which. We talked him out of it. His sister and I.   Apparently, no one would take it.

I don't believe Kandi for one minute could have carried RHOA for one season without Nene.  I don't believe she can now, without Kenya.
To be honest Kandi was Love and Hiphop calibre but less interesting.  I would never have continued watching for her. Her wedding spinoff was a hit because of her idiot mother.
If you had taken away Kandi's mother and those misfit sisters and put Nene's wedding and girlfriends up against Kandi's -neck and neck, I don't believe there would have been a contest. Her Kandi factory Bombed.

I believe Nene didn't get the talk show because her intellect did not match her big personality. She bombed because she is ignorant.
I believe they tried to accommodate her lofty goals but, her ignorance held her back. If Nene could speak well, was smart- she would have had that talk show.  I believe she could have gotten it on GP for staying as long as she did but no one would take a chance on her. Too dumb.
And then her ratings started to slip.... and her spinoff was no longer an option either.

Backstory:  I was thinking more about it and personally, I believe Nene when she was complaining that the other girls do whatever production wants. They don't say no to anything.

I believe Carlos always saw Kenya's star quality but Nene was their girl until,  he came to realize that Kenya was easier to work with than Nene who was becoming increasingly difficult- battled production at every turn and became a demanding Diva.
She was all they had so, they endured the torture that was Nene - until Kenya  started to dial it back and show more of her real personality. Carlos started to notice and like her.
Gay or not- he is a man. Men don't have patience for that difficult Diva BS.

I believe production started to switch their attention to Kenya to anchor the scenes and the trouble started.  Kenya's ratings also were rising each season and so it seemed the right direction to take.   Nene started to complain to Andy who started to intervene with Carlos. 
I believe Andy was still trumping Carlos and helping Nene in the final edits so she didn't look so bad.  He also started going in on Kenya at every opportunity.

Nene thought she had Andy's backing and so, she got worse. By now though her ratings were slipping, she was insulting gays, everyone was complaining about her awful attitude at RHOA and at different gigs and eventually Nene started to lose Andy's support.

Then came the infamous Queen and gay parade comment and the personal  insult when he checked her.  I believe people like Ryan Murphy started to complain to  Andy and tell him that he was allowing Nene to disrespect him and the gay community.
He himself stated on twitter that people were complaining  about her treatment of him. I believe they said much more.
Her ratings were tanking and since their relationship was fractured there was no reason to protect her any longer.

They decided to find a way to get rid of her.

I believe her leaving was definitely premised on money but, I believe ultimately they forced her out and forbade her to give any negative interviews.  She is way too tight lipped on the subject of Bravo.
She doesn't even realize that she took away every other reason for her to not be there. Except for being forced out.

We have some strong conspiracy stories. Hahahaha.

It is probably more a mixture of the two.

@ The LaLate article. That's just it. I don't believe Kenya mentioned the two P's.   You can tell, that a portion of that article was forced.  Very poorly written.
First of all she would not be allowed to talk about who is coming back.  She wont even outright say she is coming back and she doesn't even talk about the two P's ever.
You can tell that Kenya gave them a short statement saying Nene was the reason the cast was split and she believed it would be a more cohesive cast next season with her gone.  I believe they built the rest.
Imo.

Nene's pic was on Tracee's Twitter?
Ok, I missed that. When I checked, all of the pics were posted on Nene's twitter but not one of those guys posted or retweeted those pics of them and Nene together on their individual twitters.

I think the viewing public chose Nene too, but that was based on the other supporting cast members as well. The rest of them lacked pizazz and were uninteresting.

I think at Nene's peak she would have been considered most interesting HW of all the franchises.

"Plus, Nene evoked sympathy from the audience. In the first year Nene and Sheree came on the show as friends. Shortly into the season Sheree kicked Nene aside for Kim. Do you remember the soiree that Sheree had and she didn’t put Nene on the guest list? Nene and Kim show up and they allowed Kim in and told Nene that her name wasn’t on the list. Nene was visibly hurt and the viewers never liked Sheree ever since."

That just pissed me off so, I can see how that would have happened. LOL.
That was cruel.  I don't like cruelty on any level.

"Sheree’s onscreen personality is horrible, did you see her on Iyanla and MMM? She was beyond terrible on both shows. Sheree will never get a come up. she is one damaged chick. Good call on nixing that idea."

I couldn't and still can't stand that woman. I saw her on Iyanla and she was terrible and she is definitely damaged. 
Girl, when my nephew brought her name up I lost it.

I agree they will continue to reward Kandi.

"That doesn’t apply to Phaedra. She doesn’t talk about her life at all."

I was referring to team Pretty and Kandi as that is who Nene was talking about.
Phaedra and Porsha will never be more than a minion with a few weirdo fans.

"I agree with all of this. It’s also why Kenya is Nene’s main foe; it’s for the behind the scene happenings. But, Nene’s assertion that they’ll do anything may come with a caveat. Kenya and Claudia are the same way off the show as they are on it, so what does Nene think they’re doing? Nene claims that Kenya wanted her job, but Kenya and Nene were friends until Nene’s opportunities dried up and she was no longer willing to bequeath her crown to Kenya. Claudia probably couldn’t stand Nene for her nasty ways, so I don’t put much stock into what Nene says."

I put some stock in it because Nene is correct.  Her rationale for why is just screwy. 
Kenya and Claudia do what they are asked because it is a job to them. It is production who is coming for Nene's "throne" not team pretty. Those girls are just doing what they are told. Again- they are smart. Nene is dumb. Nene brought it on herself. She became difficult to work with and she lost her job because of it.

"I couldn’t agree more. Interesting, could that be why they didn't speak out publicly about Carlos's departure? If they had it would have looked like they were in cahoots."

Good point. Good point.

"That makes more sense. I couldn’t see Kenya mentioning the P’s. she never does that, but I hate how they put that together. It’s weird since supposedly Lalate is very pro-Kenya and has been from the beginning according to Tamara, I believe. It's just that the title of the article creates the basis for more drama."

I can tell you are irritated with that article and I agree. Why would LaLate reach for this story?  It is obviously an attempt to create a juicy story.  And they really had to search for it at that. Why?

They are usually pro Kenya but there was another article recently that seemed a little suspect.  LaLate is slipping.

"No, I just saw a picture of Nene with Tracee in her dressing room. I never thought that Tracee posted that. Why would she? LOL. Ha ha ha, that’s funny. No one posted them on their Twitter? That’s hilarious."

That is what I was saying; Nene is acting like a groupie taking pics with all of them and posting on her twitter and timeline but, not one of them has even mentioned TTTT and none of them are retweeting or acknowledging her pics.  Yes, at hilarious. Hehehe.
