Isn't Nicole in on this too? Where is she in all of this?

 
She promotes the heck outta stuff she is involved in (look at all the posts with this new baby company), I'm wondering if it's moving ahead without her or not at all?

Has anyone else seen the news on gossip sites or the promo for the new season of Below Deck? Apparently Kate Chastain is now dating a girl, she's a professional soccer player or something from Spain. I don't believe she's been married before, but she has definitely always identified as straight/only dated men. Interesting timing as it makes Taylor's story not as unique anymore (which, by the way, I can't figure out why these articles/interviews with Taylor have even happened- people deciding later in life that they are something-other-than-straight is not new or novel. A man my mom went to high school with came out after 30 years of marriage and has children, its really not THAT uncommon.) 

Also, Kate was recently arrested for a physical altercation of some sort with her girlfriend. Bravo shows are 100% centered around conflict, so a strong personality like Kate in a tumultuous relationship sounds like a much more enticing platform for a show than the two Taylors watching Netflix and eating zoodles together on an endless loop. Not to mention Kate has already proven herself on Bravo as being able to bring the dramz. Not sure how Taylor's quest to remove negativity and conflict from her life really fits into her reality show dreams. 

I wonder if the revolving hosts are in hopes of press for the show? That one will have a connection with her or do/say something that would go viral and start getting her noticed more? Lots of articles coming out, but none getting any traction. Unless you're actually looking for them, you wouldn't see anything. Hoping something will go viral?

It looks like they have been filming since Tay was married to Brett in that promo video.

Yes, the filming started while Tay was still married to Brett. Brett would not sign release to appear on the show. I truly believe that his refusal to not appear on camera was one of the major E-fam meddlings of which Tay could not overcome.

If they begin filming again and/or if someone picks up the show I wonder if TD will sign the release. If not, how will that make Taylor feel? #asktay

How do you know he refused to sign the release? 
 

I'm guessing that his family was really against it.

According to Tay's periscope yesterday, RITC has been picked up by a production company; she and Nicole are meeting with producers this week (or very soon) to discuss filming. I think she said the show  hasn't been picked up by a  network yet but I can't remember. 

I get that these things take a while...but tv is "trendy" and things change so fast (Taylor was married, Nicole had just had a baby (?), Kenny left), it just seems like if they wait much longer the moment all have passed. I obviously don't know how they plan to edit the show, but living a vapid life goes from funny and cute to sad once you hit a certain age- just seems like there's an expiration date for being able to pull off the premise of this show.

I totally agree, Durst Burp.  Don't quote me on it, but I think Nicole is due in October with the new baby.  Getting ready to give birth and taking care of a toddler & newborn isn't exactly riveting TV.  Throw in Taylor who doesn't do much but take naps and go to meetings, and a show about them sounds completely boring.  (That said -- I DO like Nicole from what I know of her and really admire her hustle.)

 

 
I'm also confused about what the conflict element will be- I would think Taylor wouldn't want to fight with Nicole, so unless someone else that we don't know about will be on the show I'm not sure how well it will do. For me this show falls into the same bucket with Gallery Girls/Princesses of Long Island, those shows did have the requisite conflict but they just didn't have staying power.

OMG, Princesses of Long Island!  Totally forgot about THAT train wreck!  Would love to know what those girls are up to!

I loved that show Gallery Girls. I'm pretty sure I was the only one, ha,ha.

I did too!!  I wish it didn't fizzle!!

Watching Below Deck from last night and Kate's girlfriend story is almost identical to Taylor's. Never been attracted to a girl, was friends with her for awhile, decided to kiss her one night and fell in love with the person, not the gender, etc. Taylor and Kate are even the same age. 

Well, shoot!  There goes the hook.

I was just going to post this: http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/eat-pray-love-author-elizabeth-gilbert-in-love-with-a-woman-w438552

Eh...this is the best time for her to get her show. Since leaving your husband for your best girl friend seems on trend it's an easier sell for the show.
