2023 is almost here but before we ring in the New Year, it is time to take a look back at 2022 and review the most-read reality TV stories on TVDeets.com throughout the year.
10. Real Housewives Of Miami Season 5 Delayed Until 2023 In Canada — Find Out Why
RHOM Season 5 has exploded on the reality TV scene in the U.S. via Peacock, impressing even those hard-to-get longtime Real Housewives fans. Featuring a juicy personal storyline courtesy of queen Lisa Hochstein and backed by a brilliant trailer, expert production value, and high glam, the rebooted series is certainly cementing its spot in the top tier of Housewives franchises.
Disappointingly, both Slice and Hayu Canada have failed to pick up the series for airing in 2022 and RHOM Season 5 will instead debut in Canada in March 2023, leading to our number 10 most-read story of the year — and it was only just posted in December.
9. Askale Davis Not Returning For RHOP Season 7 (Exclusive Details)
By now, regular readers of TVDeets.com are aware that we have the in when it comes to all things Real Housewives of Potomac. Back in March 2022, sources revealed EXCLUSIVELY to TV Deets that Askale Davis would not be returning to RHOP for Season 7 — a fact that has since been validated as true, with the former Friend of the Housewives only appearing in the first episode of Season 7 at a party hosted by Karen Huger. Former cast member Katie Rost also appeared in the episode.
8. VH1 Renews RuPaul’s Drag Race For Season 15
2023 marks a big year for RuPaul’s Drag Race, with Season 15 premiering in January and moving to MTV for a new era. In addition to the new season, VH1 also renewed companion show Untucked for another round and it should be noted that the series will celebrate its 200th episode this year. Readers must have been excited by the news as it became our number 8 most-read article this year.
7. Ratings: RHOA Season 14 Premiere Pushes Kandi And The Gang To Season High
2022 was a big year for The Real Housewives of Atlanta. With Shereé Whitfield back in the mix, viewers tuned in to the season premiere to see what was up with their favourite Georgia peaches, pushing spinoff Kandi And The Gang to a season high at the time.
Despite the seeming success of Kandi Burruss’ sixth spinoff in the ratings, Bravo has decided not to renew Kandi And The Gang for Season 2. Click Here to check out episode-by-episode ratings for RHOA Season 14.
6. Daisy Kelliher, Gary King Returning For Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4 (EXCLUSIVE)
Below Deck fans, where are you at?! In one of our many exclusive stories in the past year, TV Deets broke the news EXCLUSIVELY back in August 2022 that both Daisy Kelliher and Gary King are returning for Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4. The best part? We received EXCLUSIVE pics of the duo filming the new season.
5. Selling Sunset Season 4: Why Is Heather Rae So Mad At Christine Quinn?
Despite Netflix’s Selling Sunset airing Season 5 this past year with new agent Chelsea Lazkani in the mix, readers still seem to be interested in Heather Rae El-Moussa and Christine Quinn’s never-ending feud. This article, originally posted in November 2021, explains some of the backstory between the two and why they’re at odds during Season 4 (and eventually, Season 5). As previously reported, TV Deets was featured on-screen during Selling Sunset Season 4 due to all of the juicy drama.
4. Real Housewives of Atlanta Ratings
Bravo’s Real Housewives of Atlanta has arguably always been the most talked-about and most-viewed cities in the franchise but 2022 has shifted things ever so slightly, with The Real Housewives of New Jersey and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills both doing very well in the live ratings with their most recent seasons. RHOA, on the other hand, had a bit of an up-and-down season and that may be why so many readers are clicking on our Real Housewives of Atlanta ratings page.
3. RHOP Season 7: Full-Time Housewives Receive Contracts, Candiace Dillard NOT Fired (EXCLUSIVE Details)
Back in February 2022, news started to surface that Candiace Dillard-Bassett would not be returning for Season 7 of RHOP. But, seeing as TV Deets is in-the-know when it comes to all things Real Housewives of Potomac (see number 9 on this list!), we shared the news EXCLUSIVELY that not only was Candiace set to return for Season 7 but that all of the full-time Housewives from Season 6 had received contracts. With Season 7 now airing, this is another one of our exclusives proven true.
2. RHONY Cast Revealed: Meet The Four Women Reportedly Signed On For Season 14 Reboot!
After a low-rated and poorly-received Season 13, Bravo has decided to completely reboot The Real Housewives of New York City, splitting the franchise into two new shows. Season 14 will feature a cast of all-new women while RHONY Legacy (working title) will feature a mix of current and former cast members. Not surprisingly, our number 2 story of the year revolved around the new women set to appear on RHONY Season 14. Time will tell if these ladies have what it takes.
1. OWN Orders ‘Love & Marriage: DMV’ Starring ‘RHOP’s Monique Samuels (EXCLUSIVE)
Our most-read story of 2021 is also our most-read story of 2022 and it is all because of Monique Samuels. Back in December 2021, TV Deets shocked the reality TV world with EXCLUSIVE reporting that showed Monique would be leading up her own Love & Marriage spinoff, now titled Love & Marriage: DC. Not only that, but we spoiled the entire cast for Season 1 just weeks before they were set to film.
We have continued to do the same in 2022, being the first outlet to report that Alfred and Sherrell Duncan are joining LAMDC for Season 2, alongside announced cast members Joi and Clifton from OWN’s Ready To Love. If you are a Love & Marriage fan or are considering getting into the show, TV Deets remains the place for the most up-to-date — and exclusive! — scoop.
