Season 15 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was a disappointing one for fans. While the show had some memorable moments, they were few and far between. Plus, much of the drama seemed to be a repeat of past seasons. For example, Dorit Kemsley’s war with Kyle Richards was an exhausting reheat of Season 14’s leftovers.
Meanwhile, two newbies picked up a diamond this season. Reality TV vet Rachel Zoe joined the group, filing for divorce from Rodger Berman amid filming. In addition, “Money Queen” Amanda Frances signed on for the show. However, she seemed to feud with nearly every cast member, which could be a record.
In addition, friends of the cast, Kathy Hilton and Jennifer Tilly, also returned. And Jennifer gifted us the season’s most iconic moment. When her expensive teddy bear purse shattered, she scooped a Tums off the floor and into her mouth. Now, if only the rest of RHOBH Season 15 were that legendary.
Which Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast members need to go after Season 15?
It was painfully clear that the RHOBH cast needs a refresh. While Erika Jayne’s feud with Dorit wasn’t on my bingo card, their failure to reach any resolution at the reunion revealed a division in the cast. Kyle, Erika, and Sutton Stracke were firmly on one side. Meanwhile, Dorit and her new besties, Rachel and Bozoma Saint John, were on the other couch (literally.)
And, as Bravo has already learned, a divided cast doesn’t work. Meanwhile, this season gave us a more mellow Sutton who had fewer explosive moments. And when Keely Watson finally proposed to Boz, it was a feel-good moment.
However, a persistent problem is that the cast shows only select parts of their lives. Kyle opened up this season about falling in love with someone while separated from her husband, Mauricio Umansky. Yet, she never revealed the person’s name, as they wanted to maintain their privacy.
And other than scenes of Dorit shopping or with the cast, we saw nothing of her actual life. Fans and her co-stars heard about her messy divorce from PK Kemsley constantly. However, Dorit’s family life was absent.
So, which RHOBH cast members need to hit the exit after Season 15? Let’s break it down.
Kyle Richards
This season brought Kyle the accolade of being the longest-running housewife across all franchises. Last season, reunion host Andy Cohen called out Kyle for hiding her friendship with singer Morgan Wade. During Season 14, Kyle refused to mention her name on camera. Once again, this season, Kyle defended how much of her life she showed to viewers. While she did share what led to her split with Mau during the reunion, it felt like too little too late.
Other than navigating her split with Mau, Kyle’s storyline involved monitoring Dorit’s spending habits and her daughter, Alexia Umansky’s, wedding. Thankfully, viewers saw some snippets of footage from the big day.
Meanwhile, Kyle’s friendship with Dorit was obviously over, and both ladies were tired of pretending to revive it. Watching Dorit and Kyle screaming about the same topics over and over was draining.
While Kyle is the “OG” of the series, it may be time to take a brief pause. It no longer seems like Kyle enjoys filming RHOBH. In addition, after stepping away for a break, she could return for a future season.
Dorit Kemsley
Dorit has been going through a rough split from PK. She has accused him of using their finances against her. In fact, she insisted that she didn’t know that their home was going into pre-foreclosure. Other than her divorce, Dorit’s book deal and book cover photo party were her claim to fame for Season 15.
Oh, and ditching Kyle and Erika in an Italian town during a squabble. While Dorit and Erika’s friendship meltdown was unexpected, her drama with Kyle wasn’t. Plus, Dorit also feuded with Amanda and Sutton this season. It was a lot.
Meanwhile, some viewers have grown weary of how Dorit treated her fellow Beverly Hills cast members. Her constant tardiness, rude tone, and dismissive attitude have annoyed her co-stars and some viewers. She seemed unable to see beyond her own point of view and unwilling to accept any accountability for her actions. Right now, her behavior is serving nasty villain vibes.
Plus, Sutton hinted that it may be time for Dorit to move on from RHOBH. And I agree with her. It seems like Dorit needs a reset.
Amanda Frances
I must admit, I was on the fence about Amanda. She managed to activate this cast just by using her baby voice and having zero filter. She called out Dorit for using a “co-writer” for her book, since Amanda didn’t need one. She also shaded Dorit for being jealous of her success and youth. And her past as a cult member fascinated the ladies.
Meanwhile, Sutton tried to explain to Amanda that she needed to clearly state her opinion when talking with the cast. However, Amanda won’t embrace a combative dynamic without any resolution. Had Amanda ever watched RHOBH before signing up?
In addition, Amanda’s inability to define her business ruffled Boz’s feathers. Amanda specializes in the energetic side of money and manifestation. And she proudly sells her courses online. However, Boz was highly critical of Amanda and called her a scammer.
During the RHOBH Season 15 reunion, it was clear that Amanda wasn’t a good fit for the cast. She was criticized by everyone on the couch. Yet, when defending herself, her responses fell flat. She refused to embrace her fiery side and sound off like the rest of the ladies. Although she added some much-needed drama to the season, it seems like Amanda may want to leave the show in her rear-view.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is available to stream on Peacock.
