Casting Call: Below Deck: Mediterranean Sails To The South of France

Last season of Below Deck: Mediterranean saw several Dallasites cruising the High Seas with Captain Sandy and her crew. Dallas obviously lived up to its reputation of larger than life characters, because casting is back again searching for groups of 6-8 people to appear on the upcoming season. Travel dates are in September and October and groups can be friends, couples, families (kids included), or coworkers that would be interested in chartering the 150ft + luxury yacht and have the entire trip offered at a huge discounted price. Yep, you read that right. Not only do you not get paid to appear on the show - you pay for the trip. I guess this what some people would call the "price of fame"?? If you are interested in getting all the details, or know anyone that would, email the casting office and they will send you the guest packet. Bon voyage!

Reality check on the state of reality TV in Dallas

Bravo debuted two new Housewives franchises in the Spring of 2016: Potomac and Dallas. Nether show had killer ratings but, not only has Potomac been renewed, they just wrapped filming on their second season. Which is making everyone involved more than a little nervous for Dallas, as the fate of our franchise lingers in purgatory. Questionable casting, bad editing decisions and a poor time slot did not help the Real Housewives of Dallas debut season. Over the summer, the production company for RHOD tired frantically to find potential new Housewives to change up the chemistry of the cast and entice Bravo into giving Dallas another shot. From what I've been told, they are looking to add 1-2 new women to change of the chemistry of the cast. Every eligible "housewife" within 10 miles of Dallas got a call, a select group moved on to a Skype interview and six lucky ladies were cherry-picked to film scenes with their families (a few even filmed with current RHOD cast) to create a reel that was shown to Bravo execs.
