Fans of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” are reacting to the season 14 reunion chart posted by Bravo.
On February 28, the cast of the Bravo reality show taped their annual sitdown with host Andy Cohen and fans had a lot to say about the seating arrangement. Many viewers were thrilled to see a newcomer sitting in a prime seat in close proximity to Cohen.
The 14th season of RHOBH starred Kyle Richards, Dorit Kemsley, Erika Jayne, Garcelle Beauvais, Sutton Stracke, and newcomer Bozoma Saint John. Jennifer Tilly and Kathy Hilton were “friends of” the cast this season.
Fans Noted a Newbie Got a Prime Seat Close to Cohen
The seating chart posted by Bravo featured Cohen in the middle chair, as usual. Richards was seated to the right of the host, followed by Stracke, Beauvais, and Tilly. On Cohen’s left was Kemsley, followed by newbie Saint John, veteran cast member Erika Jayne, and Hilton.
“Our version of a pizza party. The #RHOBH Reunion is underway…” came the caption on Bravo’s Instagram page.
Fans reacted to rave about Saint John’s prime spot for the reunion action.
“BOZ! OMG. Second chair on her first season,” one fan wrote.
“okaaaaaay boz second chair!🙌” another cheered.
In a thread about the chart on Reddit, another fan wrote, “Damn Boz getting 2nd chair her first year topping Erika? Wow.”
“OOP… Boz already dethroning???” another fan noted.
“Thrilled that Boz is second for a first season!” another wrote.
Other fans felt Stracke deserved the top seat next to Cohen.
“Justice for Sutton. She deserves that first chair,” one Instagram user wrote.
“Sutton should’ve had Kyle’s seat,” another agreed.
“Sutton and Dorit are carrying this season. They need those seats,” added another.
Cohen previously explained that a lot of thought goes into the reunion seating assignments. In an interview with Cosmopolitan UK, he explained, “We decide the lineup of who sits where based on [the season]. If they’re sitting on either side of me that means they’re involved in a lot of mess this season. And then I will say, usually they’re sitting next to someone that they like, usually they’re sitting across from someone that they don’t.”
“A lot of it is for camera angles,” Cohen further explained. “If you have two people who are directing ire at each other you kind of want them to be across from each other so they’re not turning to one side or another all the time.”
Andy Cohen Teased a Long Reunion Taping
Cohen kept fans updated on the RHOBH season 14 reunion taping in posts to his Instagram stories. Hours into the taping, he shared a selfie of him looking exhausted and wrote, “Still going…”
At 8:41 p.m., Cohen posted, “That’s a wrap.” He added, “I give it [five diamonds]. Something for everyone.”
While spoilers have yet to be leaked, Erika Jayne previously told The Daily Dish she felt Kemsley would be in the hot seat at the reunion.
“Well, of course it’s Dorit’s season,” she explained, noting that Kemsley’s life was “blowing up” amid her separation from her husband PK during filming. “There are degrees of heat in the hot seat and I think mine is relatively low compared to previous seasons where it was scalding hot,” Jayne added. “So, I’m fine.”
