DeShawn Snow No Longer a 'Real' Housewife: 'I Didn't See It Coming'

January 14, 2009 - Some say that DeShawn Snow was the quiet in the storm of drama that rained on Bravo's dramality series "The Real Housewives of Atlanta." In reality television, playing it safe doesn't lure viewers or make the grade; when it comes to ratings, only diva antics, tension and catfights will do. As the remaining ladies—Lisa Wu Hartwell, NeNe Leakes, Sheree Whitfield and Kim Kolciak—gear up for the second installment, Snow learned on Monday that she would not be returning to the cast. Snow spoke candidly with ESSENCE.com about the call that hurt her, why Bravo won't be able to replace her, and how she plans to keep it moving

Bravo Renews Real Housewive of Atlanta

December 15, 2008
By Rodney Ho | The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

In a move that surprised nobody, Bravo today officially announced a second season of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.”

The show was basically much more popular than anticipated, building from 650,000 viewers the first episode to 2.8 million viewers by the time the reunion came along two months later. It has also generated incredible response here on this blog. People may abhor the women but they can’t stop talking about them.

Or we can take the press release quote from the Bravo exec, in less-than-colorful business-speak:

“The level of engagement on Atlanta far surpasses a typical series on cable or broadcast, with our viewers deepening their connection to the show through live wireless chats, daily blogs and additional footage online,” said Frances Berwick, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Bravo. “This, along with the colorful personalities of our housewives, helped drive the series to a watercooler sensation.”

I anticipate all five housewives will be back. I’m not sure if they are contractually required to be around for a second season but my guess is yes. I ran into Sheree Whitfield yesterday at Frank Ski’s wine auction and she said the promotion the show gives her is priceless in terms of getting her clothing line off the ground, that it’s well worth the aggravation of being insulted online and being scrutinized to such a degree.

A launch date for season two has yet to be identified though my guess is late spring or summer. I bet they will start shooting the season in January or February.
