I just want to know what Taylor's plan would be if she did get on RHONY. Ever since the divorce, she's been super private and TD is super shy and doesn't even like talking on the radio. It never seems to go well when the SO of someone on a reality show isn't on board (like Stassi and Patrick). If they want to cast a lesbian, I would think they would want it to be someone who actually be on the show with their girlfriend.

Hawr-rible · 7/25/2017 2:44 pm

I have no idea how I feel about Taylor doing RHONY. I hate the Housewife shows, I've tried watching them and just didn't get into any of them, at all. I would probably tune in if Taylor was on it, that's a fair point. But, I'm afraid it would make me not like her anymore, because I don't like any of those Housewives. I think she would be a shoo-in to be made out a villain because she speaks her mind and would engage in the drama with the other women- and I don't want a girl I've been enjoying and listening to for 10 years be a "bad girl" that I start to hate. She is also very sensitive and I'm not sure she would handle the backlash very well- and there will be backlash, because people love to hate reality stars. And what if it ruins her relationship with Taylor D.? That would be awful, they seem truly happy together. I'd love to know what Taylor D. thinks about all of this....

This is what I think will happen. She doesn't have enough of a back bone for it, and it'll ruin her.

For me, I loved pre married Taylor and would watch a show (and still listen!) if that's who she was, I'm not a fan of this Taylor though. Not sure if that makes sense.

That makes total sense- she used to be a girl that talked about and enjoyed her life; now she is a girl who is wanting to change her life, and isn't just happy to have an awesome radio show and a great relationship and all of that. She just wants fame now, and it's changed her. It's changed the show because now so much of what she talks about is this quest to be famous. I wish she had never met Stassi, honestly. Everything changed when she started wanting to be Stassi.

Getmommieouttathabox · 7/25/2017 3:40 pm

Don't they have to be rich though? I thought a baseline few million net worth was a prerequisite for rhony.??

NotaTot · 7/25/2017 5:46 pm

You can't always be crying poor and expect RHONY to call.

7/25/2017 6:27 pm

Ugh it's gross. That is someone's true calling in life? To be on Bravo? Really? That is what you aspire to Taylor? You just want to be famous and have attention? It's just gross and weird. I obviously don't get it but to me it's dumb. TD will never be on the show. She comes across as private and shy. Even in the periscopes with Stassi, TD wouldn't even look at the camera. That is one relationship I don't get. And Taylor won't be able to take the shit she'll get if she's on the show. Let's face it she's not likeable especially on those periscopes etc. and I'm not trying to be mean about her looks. I think she looks fine but they camera doesn't love her, (and I work with people who are in front of the camera who are pretty in real life but are not photogenic in front of the camera. Being photogenic is a thing). I guess I don't understand people wanting to be famous for nothing but for starting fights and dressing nice and pretending they have money. I mean for gods sake her dads a doctor and her brother is saving lives in Africa. Can't you strive to be something else? Like strive to be Ryan seacrest! Or Matt Lauer! Or Oprah! Or Kelly Ripa! Does she think this is the only way to make money in life? That's all she seems obsessed with nowadays. If they want a real housewife they should ask Nicole. Now she's a Glamourous hardworking diverse housewife. More so then Taylor.

Yes! Thank you! Taylor brings nothing to the table unless she plans to be the awful mean girl (not exactly a stretch). She doesn't have the lifestyle or the depth of character to be interesting enough for Bravo (or the backbone, she's way too sensitive). Yes, she's trying really hard right now to catch their attention but it comes across as desperate. Somehow she cobbles together her radio program with no planning and no real effort, that doesn't cut it in Bravo world. (Or maybe it does and I'll be proven wrong, I won't watch either way though).

SoftPretzels · 7/26/2017 2:42 am

She says she wants to be on reality tv but I don't believe she has the mental fortitude to handle the criticism from the cast mates or the viewers.... This is the same woman who is still "scarred" by the trampoline incident.... when she was 8.... 26 years later and she's still not over that?
But she's ready for the verbal massacre reality viewers are gonna potentially unleash onto her?
Bethenny would chew her up and spit her out..... She can call Taylor an "obsessed fan" and literally shape the narrative and story line about her.... production would have a field day.

Also as an aside
I know it's not fair to judge someone's hardships but I legit LOL'd at her when she shared that with
Stephanie Ziev.... like girl that is one of the most traumatic moments in your life? Also the "I wanted it all to end here and now. I was just so sad about my future " when talking about being married to her wealthy husband and dealing with mean sister in laws 😂😂😂😂😂 She needs some perspective and humbling which is why I actually hope she gets her RHONY dreams to come true.

Durst_Burp · 7/26/2017 6:12 am

Softpretzels good point- and if she considers what her former SILs did to her emotional abuse, she's setting herself up for more of that by joining the housewives. The stories she tells about them don't even sound as bad as a lot of the stuff that goes down on RHONY (crazy island with Kelly Bensimon anyone?).

Siriusnj · 7/26/2017 7:16 am

About handling criticism - she still has mean emails people wrote her IN COLLEGE!

Wakeupfan420 · 7/26/2017 7:45 am

"I just hate people that put such emphasis on the superficial, like its the most important thing in the world." ??? Bitch have you EVER listened to yourself speak? Ugh. So the funniest part so far this morning was when she was talking about how super in depth her blog was, and how she used to post basically every day lmao. Ummm...when was that? She's such a tastemaker, better get that blog back up gurrrrllll. Don't know how the rest of us basement dwellers could possibly live without knowing your every obsession

lydia delainey · 7/26/2017 9:31 am

That superficial comment had me rolling my eyes so hard as well. That is literally the only thing that she values. I think that she is just feeling insecure about her own attractiveness as she gets older and heavier.

Wakeupfan420 · 7/26/2017 9:55 am

Definitely! I also love how she can speak in the same breath about how unbelievably tired she is from doing a 25-min FB live, but Justin Bieber being tired after a 156-show tour isn't a valid excuse. She's fucking delusional.

lydia delainey · 7/26/2017 10:06 am

Ahh!!! Stop saying 3 month year old, 2 week year old. It makes no sense!!!

Or how she would rip into Kelly Ripa "it's only 1 hour. And people do everything for you. I work hard. I'm the construction worker of entertainment." Ok biiiiiih.

They picked on her.... big whoop. Unless they did more than that, her claims of emotional trauma are invalid.
Either Taylor has experienced something super traumatic in her life growing up (trampoline incident does not count) that she hasn't shared which is fine, hence being triggered by certain events, and has made her this sensitive......
Iffffffff not
She's incredibly weak minded in my opinion. And reality tv would destroy her.

mrmans23 · 7/27/2017 9:26 am

2 quick takes from yesterday's show. Here is the first. I'll put the 2nd one in a separate post.

1) On yesterday's how, I heard Taylor say, "I am working so hard right now and so focused on work b/c I have to since I am dating a woman and don't have a man's income."
WTF.....Is it just me, or is this comment just insane and narcissistic at the same time. Taylor, you don't have the life you used to have, not because you are presently dating a woman, it's b/c you are not married to a wealthy person, from a wealthy family, who owns a business that has been around for like 50 years and who does illegal shit to avoid paying taxes. It has nothing to do with what a man earns versus a woman. Per usual, Taylor is just so out of touch and so not self-aware and doesn't get it. Plus, how that probably makes TD feels like crap like she is not contributing enough financially. Once again I have to say it, Taylor lives in a luxury building in Manhattan (guarantee her rent is at least $3,500 a month, but likely more), travels, buys clothes and her stupid Suncere wine ( no idea how to spell that) and her fucking Prosecco.

mrmans23 · 7/27/2017 9:35 am

Take 2: 2) There is no way, not for a second, that I believe that someone from Page Six just happened to notice Taylor and Rob out having lunch. I am postive that they got together purposely, and either Matt or Rob tipped off Page Six. Taylor is 100% about getting publicity for herself doing the Facebook thing for Younger, and trying desperately to get on a Bravo show. I totally agree with someone else you posted on here that she definitely threw that drink to get Bravo's attention. She is pathetic. And the move to make, is not to be the one's to bring it up on the air. It only makes it more apparent that you placed the story. Put more effort into the show and that will bring you opportunities.

mrmans23 · 7/27/2017 9:36 am

One more take:
3) The show is getting so dull. 7 things at the top of every hour. Stupid boring segments with the skin doctor and the dentist. I haven't listened to Dr. Wider in a long time either. I skip entire segments atll the time. And I can't stand having the "Suprise Me Topic" every dam day. And why do we never hear Katie anymore. I loved when she chimed in on topics. I'd love to have a weekly segment with Katie talking about being single and dating and everything related to that.

I feel your frustration, Mr. Mans- you said it. I cringe when she says that too. It's difficult to listen to a woman who has such an enviable life shit all over it and not appreciate it. I guess I don't understand what dragon she is chasing (besides fame, I guess) because she is living a fabulous life. Maybe she just wants to prove to former people in her life that she is a big deal, but I think she is already a big deal- she is a beloved radio host with tons of fans, that's nothing to sniff at. I mean, we all want to be wealthier but like you said, she is in pretty good shape in that department. You don't need a man's salary to live well; can you imagine the satisfaction her former sister-in-laws have in hearing that? That without Brett's money she doesn't feel successful. She is giving them such joy, I'm sure, to hear that she struggles without their family's money.

I agree with you yet again, Mr. Mans! Yeah, that wasn't an accident. Also, she talks to the other co-hosts like she hates Rob (which pisses me off) but then she is out on the town with him a lot. Obviously they are friends and in cahoots with each other- so why all the Rob hate on the show?

I was thinking about Katie's dating story the other day! I think it was the guy's birthday or something and they were trying to figure out an appropriate gift for someone you just met. I know they aren't affiliated with Cosmo anymore, but I always thought following a single person's dating adventures would be a fun segment. They definitely need to shake some things up to keep the show interesting.

Great point! She is definitely using Rob as Rob uses her. They are both mini Bethenny Frankel's yet they both dislike her.

That was a fun segment. Then they stopped following Katie. So dumb.

mrmans23 · 7/27/2017 9:53 am

OMG...OMG...OMG. I HATE the constant talk about Younger. It takes up half the show now. Its insufferable. I get you promoting your gig. I'd do the same. But this is insane how much they are doing it. It's so over the top and turns me off. Plug it on Tuesday's at the top of the show and end of the show. And then briefly talk about it early on the show on Thursday. Then end it for the love of all that's holy.

Wakeupfan420 · 7/27/2017 10:13 am

First off, yessss to all of this. Also, the two of them speculating about Prince George was fucking gross. And they can both fuck off, it is NOT homophobic to say that. Taylor gets all up in arms about little girls in pageants, what is the difference here? How about we stop sexualizing children PERIOD???

If you've ever watched her FB Live thingy (what's that show she's on after? ) she calls on the audience by, "You pretty skinny girl in the front row." or "There in the back, beautiful with brown hair." She is so friggin obsessed with being skinny and pretty, it's ridiculous.

I was thinking about my kids, ages 3 and 7. I have zero idea what their orientation is at this point.
