With speculation running wild that Kim Zolciak and NeNe Leakes will be getting spin-offs of their own after Season 4 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta plays out, we wondered why, of all the cast members, those two should be so lucky. Well, an industry insider with close ties to Housewives laid it out for Wetpaint exclusively:
“If you were going to do it at all, it would be with one of those two, definitely,” our source said. “Kim just had a baby, she’s with a famous football player [Kroy Biermann], and she’s very polarizing, which is good for ratings. And NeNe just came off Celebrity Apprentice.”
The expert points out that former Housewives Bethenny Frankel and Rachel Zoe got their spin-offs for somewhat different reasons than Kim and NeNe might. “Bethenny, people just love her. She was getting married and the ratings were really great. Rachel was a celebrity before she ever went on the show.”
But if Kim and NeNe expect Bravo to hand them massive deals to do series of their own, they’re likely to be disappointed. “For the first season, it’s not much. They all make most of their money from side ventures, like Bethenny had her Skinny Girl Margaritas. They all have to take their shows and parlay what they have from there.”
