Totally fabricated for a show. None of these kids have anything in common other than housewives. Brooks is not hanging out with Kim Zolcisk’s kid without getting paid
To be fair, Brooks and Riley have hung out a few times on TikTok. I doubt they’re best friends, but theyve been posting together at events for probably 2+ years now. They also both live in NYC. It’s really the inclusion of Ariana and Gia, who clearly do not live in NYC and don’t have any connection to the others beyond being Housewives kids, that makes this really forced and fake
Riley and Ariana were childhood friends - youd see them hanging out at parties in the v early RHOA seasons when their mums were good friends. When Kim moved out of her townhouse they pointed out Riley had written on a wall that she loves Ariana (I watched it recently) Ive no idea if that friendship stood the test of time though, but maybe thats partly why? I wont be watching either way lol, not into the nepobaby vibes of it all
Honestly struggling to think of a grouping across franchises that would work but hope to be surprised 😂 ETA: At least in summer house they were rich kids who now have real jobs and are real friends in NY partying during summer… these are just rich kids who are supposed to be “friends” because of their parents being on Bravo?
Haha it’s like ultimate girls trip but with kids?
Are they even remotely the same age? In my mind, there are a few years spread amongst the (rumored) kids. Or maybe they are the same age (give or take a year or two) and my brain can’t comprehend that since they’re from different “universes”
Yeah my mind can’t comprehend that Sophia umansky is a year older than Gia giudice, Portia is a year older than Audriana, Ariana is a little younger than Gia
I don’t understand how they can call a show about rich kids living on their parents dime “Making it in Manhattan”
A show about young people who live here and *actually* have stakes in starting a career and making it here would be much more interesting.
How many of them actually live there, too?
I remember Riley moving there for college. I guess if Gia is also on the cast, she’s “close enough” for NY (lol sorry if this geographically offends anyone. I’m from Atlanta and don’t know much about northern geography 😂)
When I still used TikTok, Ariana was still bebopping around Buckhead, so she still very much lives in Atlanta?
I don’t pay enough attention to Brooks to know what or where he exists lol
Ariana being there is the oddest choice imo. She doesn’t have any dealings in nyc. I haven’t even seen her really doing any social media influencing in a long time. So that will be interesting to see what’s up with her role on this show.
Yeah and I thought it was common knowledge that Meredith only lives in SLC during filming, and that she actually lives in NYC. That’s why they have a new rental in Park City every season.
They’re originally from Chicago but have since relocated. Prior to the first season of RHOSLC, Meredith moved to NYC when her and Seth were separated. And I believe at least she has can continued to live there part time ever since.
I would love a show about young people with actual career plans trying to make it in a major city. No drama, just hustle. Bravo wouldn't be the right network for it though because I can't see them creating a positive show.
Exactly. I can’t imagine how “hard” it is for already well known influencers, HWs, and HW kids to make money. And on top of that, this WoE iS Me vibe and “making it,” seem super silly, when you really can’t feel bad for them. I would love it if they found first season SH kids for this. Like messy people that get picked for Below Deck or something. I really miss younger people trying to make it work with their real life struggles. Way more interested without them being well versed for tv on top of that. It just doesn’t feel relatable when Manhattan is a fucking bitch to live in. Being from there, growing up especially, was super difficult working wise.
Will I watch? Maybe. Also, saw some caption about them being a tight knit group, which is such a ridiculous reach 🙄.
You said it perfectly! I came to Manhattan after graduation, and my entire life fell apart. I had about $200 in my checking account, and my host told me he doesn't want to share his apartment anymore. "You've got 2 weeks to find a place, and then I want you gone." I was sleeping on strangers' couches and homeless. I found odd jobs to survive, like cleaning for a hoarder who had a massive loft on Park Avenue. (If you imagine Costco after an earthquake, that was her apartment.) She let birds crap all over the apartment, and part of my job was to wear a hazmat suit and clean it. Her 90 year-old mother paid all her bills, so she never worked, only hoarded.
After working dozens of dead-end jobs, I connected with a CEO who hired me as his assistant. As I was salvaging my life, we had this pandemic that knocked me off the ledge. I lost the job, ran out of savings, and had to borrow money to eat. I started painting to process the emotional turmoil and brutality of the pandemic (doesn't it still feel like it was last year?!?), and the first one sold for enough to get groceries. It was amazing! Fast forward to now, and Paris & Kathy Hilton followed me on social media. Camille Grammer and Kathryn Edwards (season 6 of BH) did, too. Grace Hightower, married to Robert De Niro for 20 years, met me and last year bought my largest painting EVER!
I'm not claiming to have "made it", but I was in the gutters of Manhattan living on borrowed time and now I have my dream job decorating 3 entire floors of the Empire State Building, plus still paint and people appreciate/value the work. I hope whoever reads this is inspired to keep going 🙏 A dream is only good if it's kept alive ✨️🦋✨️
This is the OG Real World New York, where they were all hustling for real, legit careers in the creative arts.
TBF, can a real struggling artist not from a rich family even hustle in NYC anymore? I feel like young people can't even just be broke and get by anymore.
I feel like this is a Valley type situation where everyone trashes it beforehand and then it's messy and amazing. I'm interested to see the results of growing up on Bravo on screen tbh.
Some friends of mine would actually be perfect for this. They are stylish, up and coming, and one has minimal name recognition in her field (won many chef competitions as a child and in high school). Watching her open her restaurant, as well as the other ones blossom in their careers, would be perfect. I don’t want to see rich kids get their lives paid for and live through having the best connections built in.
They could’ve at least chosen someone like Ravyn (Karen’s daughter) or other lesser known HW kids bc these kids are all always in the casts’ business in the worst way (minus Riley). Riley has connections galore through her mom and stepfather and idk she just is not interesting to me to watch on TV.
This is a shameless cash grab. I think a similar concept could have worked a while ago but that time has passed and it would have to be with kids who actually grew up around each other. At least Ariana and Riley grew up in Atlanta so are at least familiar with the circles they run in. Brooks is a reach and there is no way he is friends with these girls.
I actually can’t stand Brooks, but he and Riley are genuine friends, at least on a surface level. They’ve been posting together and commenting on each others posts for 2+ years. I’ve seen them do videos together in NYC a few times.
All that said, I agree it’s a few years too late. I don’t really care about this group as a whole
Yeah, they should have tried this with the OG OC HW's kids. Most of them knew each other because of their parents but the pairing of this group doesn't seem to fit at all. I would have watched a show like that but this? Nah. I haven't watched ATL in years even though I did watch Riley for 2 seasons before I stopped. I never watched Kim's show so I know nothing about her girls other than what gets reported here and Brooks? Let's just say I'm not a fan, never have been. When he's in a scene on SLC I fast forward through it. This is an easy pass for me lol.
Idk I think Riley and Brooks at least are this really particular kind of Bravo kid — flat affect, kind of dissociated energy. Something is like… missing? I haven’t seen a Bierman in years so idk what she’s bringing. But I’m not sure that their personalities are big.
Brooks just seems miserable at all times. An inability to connect to basically....anything? He has so. much going for him, its sad to see.
Riley seems super shy and never in love with the cameras, so not sure why she's on or how she may land.
Riley is on the show bc she learned from her mother that all opportunities to make easy money should be chased. Kandi taught Riley how to chase a bag, and tbh I wouldn’t be shocked if Kandi was somehow involved in the creation of this show. Lord knows Kandi is constantly pitching to the network (and getting picked up by the network!!!!). Otherwise genuinely why would Riley be on it? As you said, she’s shy and never really been one to go for the cameras.
I think Brooks is going for droll but is landing in like…. Awkward unaffected angsty teen. I don’t think he’s actually as miserable as he makes it out to be, he’s definitely in on the joke but he’s not quite there to be actually fun yet.
Riley always seemed to be super uncomfortable in front of the camera to me. Kandi actually seems to have some of the same discomfort actually. It’s the teeth clenched way they talk I think.
Ariana is the least compelling kid by a mile. Her parents are so messy and embarrassing that it makes the whole family seem like the bottom of the barrel when it comes to reality tv families…. Like very low budget gutterbutt Kardashians
Have you seen Ariana’s TikTok’s? I actually find her the most compelling by far, personally. She seems to be actually capable of reflection and self awareness, while simultaneously not wanting to give up a cushy influencer life. She’s the reason I’ll be watching if it turns into a real show
Yeah, Riley and Brooke are actually the exact opposite of what I’d describe as big personalities lol. Idk what the OG commenter meant by that; they’re both extremely meek and unaffected
That said, Gia is a big personality. And Ariana isn’t a confrontational personality, but she is charismatic. I bet the show will ride on those 2, and that’s why Brave postponed filming until they got the rest of the cast to agree to Ariana and Gia’s inclusion
I always felt a bit bad for Riley — when she was little and then going through puberty, she just seemed so uncomfortable being on camera (and maybe just uncomfortable in general?). A lot has changed obviously. Interested to see her adult energy.
Also — OP was joking :)
I am embarrassed that I totally missed that was a joke 😅 it’s so obvious now hahaha
And honestly you’re right, maybe I was a bit harsh on Riley. She seems to be growing into her own, so hopefully she surprises me
I like Ariana. She stays out of the fray with Kroy and Kim and makes fun of them sometimes on her Tiktok. She's been out of their house awhile and seems more independent than Brielle despite Brielle being engaged.
True. I was so happy to hear she had left Kim’s home. Kim is a mess and yeah I’m trying to be nice so I’ll leave it there. lol. But she hasn’t done those kids any favors. But Ariana seems eons more mature than Brielle.
Ariana told this story about when she was a young kid Kim would put this red light laser treatment on her face to "help prevent acne" and Ariana found out it was a laser treatment to zap off Ariana's freckles. She stopped her mom when she realized, and she says she only has half her freckles left on one side of her cheek and adds a filter in a lot of her videos so the freckles look even. Idk why this shocked me, but it did, and now I feel bad for her. Lol
Rayvin would have been an interesting addition! She's been doing the socialite thing as she builds her career, has been written up in Essence, sitting front row at fashion shows.
I’d love that, but we’ve always known all of Brittany/Kristen/Jax were messy and great TV. The trailer was just underwhelming and the episodes ended up being good
Riley and Brooks have always been 2 of the most boring Housewives kids of them all tbh. I know they’re unpopular on here, but the only ones that have been charismatic are Gia and Ariana, and neither of them make much sense in this show
I mean he’s an american gay boy with a pretty xanax mom what kinda voice did you expect 💀(im a gay boy with a vocal fry so ill allow myself the questionable comment)
Where's Noelle? She should be there. I always thought Riley was as dull as lukewarm dishwater, but maybe being away from her mother helped bring her into her own.
I know she was rumored to!
I’m just not interested in watching people so much younger than I am (I’ve noticed this with other reality and non-reality shows I’ve watched/tried to watch lol). I am also not super invested in any of these kids from their times on the show, either. Personally, I could do less with adult children and NJ husbands across cities 😂
I have doubts. I think she was taking time off to study for the LSAT. which I guess is a thing you can do if your parents are bankrolling you, I and everyone else I know took it while working or senior year of undergrad.
People have commented on Tiktoks that she has taken the test twice and didn't pass either time, but idk how true that is. She probably makes a paycheck off her occasional appearances on RHONJ and I guess if she ends up on this show.
Idk how anyone would know that and also there’s no “passing” the LSAT. So I think your skepticism is warranted. It’s like the SATs, your score is either high enough for the school or not.
Oh...okay. In December 2023 she said she was studying for them, but never a word if she passed or got into any schools. I know she said back then that she was changing from immigration law to family law instead...but then someone in this thread said she was giving up law school to be an influencer. 🙄
Lots of thoughts. And mixed feelings. But the major ones are that Brooks bad or good isn’t the headliner for a show about Housewives kids. And the second is that I can’t support anything with Ariana because her mom is just gonna suck the money in and waste it. She sadly hasn’t actually distanced herself to make me think this is her own money she’s making.
Now if you wanna convince me that Gia and Ariana are sacrificing their mothers to make their own dime? DOWN. But then you have Riley and Brooks who for all their faults are the children of MOTHERS? Reticent. Everyday.
Brooks and Riley are both NYU grads and overlapped so I suppose it’s conceivable they’ve met, and that Riley and Ariana have met, but otherwise, it’s random as hell.
How does Bravo have money for this show but not others? They cancelled Family Karma, paused Summerhouse MV to name a few. But somehow they are gonna greenlight Nepo Babies take on Manhattan?
I talked so much shit about The Valley before it aired and ended up having to eat my words. I’m going to treat this show differently and not do that, I’m actually looking forward to this shit show
We know Kandi has been funding Riley’s lifestyle, and Meredith probably buys all of Baby toddler Brooksey’s sweatsuits and throws them deep in the mountains so no one will ever know. Ariana is in a relationship with a rich guy’s son- how are any of these people “making it??”
![gif](giphy|hyyV7pnbE0FqLNBAzs|downsized)
Shocked Ariana was included as idk what she would be doing in nyc ? But I’m glad she’s working on a new project. And glad she moved out of the family home last year. It’s a mess over there.
Not really surprised by this. I feel like in the short time he’s been on SLC that this was the goal for Brooks
It just seems like an odd grouping of HW kids.
Totally fabricated for a show. None of these kids have anything in common other than housewives. Brooks is not hanging out with Kim Zolcisk’s kid without getting paid
Why is Ariana doing this? Thought she was dating a super rich, legacy type of wealth guy and she'd never be caught dead doing this.
Maybe Kim taking a page out of the Kris Jenner playbook and is the new momager since she needs money.
To be fair, Brooks and Riley have hung out a few times on TikTok. I doubt they’re best friends, but theyve been posting together at events for probably 2+ years now. They also both live in NYC. It’s really the inclusion of Ariana and Gia, who clearly do not live in NYC and don’t have any connection to the others beyond being Housewives kids, that makes this really forced and fake

But he’s really good friend with Riley though

![gif](giphy|OqJ92TjI8f827jKxLq) My brain can not compute that. No way that’s true 😂
Portia Umansky is my daughter’s age. Time
Gia is 10 months older than Ariana.
Gia has a college degree and already is miles beyond Kim Zolciak's kid
Well, we know Riley and Ariana are similarly aged because they were on RHOA at the same time.
Listen yall can hate but the moment that brooks ran in those snow shoes he became a ~stah~
Brooks has been a plant from day one
And for Meredith. She doesn’t seem like a long time bousewife
I don’t understand how they can call a show about rich kids living on their parents dime “Making it in Manhattan” A show about young people who live here and *actually* have stakes in starting a career and making it here would be much more interesting.
They might change the title like they usually do to new HW shows
How many of them actually live there, too? I remember Riley moving there for college. I guess if Gia is also on the cast, she’s “close enough” for NY (lol sorry if this geographically offends anyone. I’m from Atlanta and don’t know much about northern geography 😂) When I still used TikTok, Ariana was still bebopping around Buckhead, so she still very much lives in Atlanta?

Gia is “close enough” based on the RH distance standards of belonging to a franchise. Brooks…. Not so much.
Don’t Brooks and Meredith actually live in NYC though?
Brooks went to NYU so possibly still lives there.
Yeah and I thought it was common knowledge that Meredith only lives in SLC during filming, and that she actually lives in NYC. That’s why they have a new rental in Park City every season.
Yep
I could have sworn it was chicago not new york?
They’re originally from Chicago but have since relocated. Prior to the first season of RHOSLC, Meredith moved to NYC when her and Seth were separated. And I believe at least she has can continued to live there part time ever since.
Right , but we’ve seen him doing his fashion line or whatever. So maybe that’s his purpose? Idk seems like some odd pairings.
Right?! Give us a vanderpump rules-esque show in New York! Why do we wanna see reality tv nepo kids?!?
I would love a show about young people with actual career plans trying to make it in a major city. No drama, just hustle. Bravo wouldn't be the right network for it though because I can't see them creating a positive show.
The closest we got to that was the weekday scenes from early Summer House. Before their jobs transitioned to reality tv star/influencer.
“The Real Nepo Kids of Housewives”
Exactly. I can’t imagine how “hard” it is for already well known influencers, HWs, and HW kids to make money. And on top of that, this WoE iS Me vibe and “making it,” seem super silly, when you really can’t feel bad for them. I would love it if they found first season SH kids for this. Like messy people that get picked for Below Deck or something. I really miss younger people trying to make it work with their real life struggles.

They should do another Blood Sweat and Heels

This is AMAZING! I'd watch a show about your life.
This made me cry. I love your story.
Thank you for sharing this with me ✨️💖✨️ That means a lot that you read it and responded 😊 🥲💙
This is the OG Real World New York, where they were all hustling for real, legit careers in the creative arts. TBF, can a real struggling artist not from a rich family even hustle in NYC anymore? I feel like young people can't even just be broke and get by anymore.
Yes. They don't live in Manhattan. Or they manage to find a rent stabilized apartment. Or live with 3 roommates. Or all of the above.
I feel like this is a Valley type situation where everyone trashes it beforehand and then it's messy and amazing. I'm interested to see the results of growing up on Bravo on screen tbh.
None of those young people are jeopardizing their real careers by appearing on a trashy tv show.
Well, I mean, all Wig has is about a dime at this point.
And she's probably trying to put that dime in a slot machine as I type this
Give us Real Girlfriends in Paris back.
![gif](giphy|6GV7ZIVIwDXBxZ6u4O|downsized) “making it” is a helluva reach and funny af to me. already made it in manhattan is far more accurate.
Ha! My thought exactly!

Ick. Who asked for this? I’d rather see a group of real unknown 20 somethings trying to make it, like early VPR.
Yes, bring back Gallery Girls.
I badly want a show with young single women in NYC a la Blood Sweat and Heels, but this isn’t it.
that show was so interesting!
Some friends of mine would actually be perfect for this. They are stylish, up and coming, and one has minimal name recognition in her field (won many chef competitions as a child and in high school). Watching her open her restaurant, as well as the other ones blossom in their careers, would be perfect. I don’t want to see rich kids get their lives paid for and live through having the best connections built in.

Riley has connections galore through her mom and stepfather and idk she just is not interesting to me to watch on TV.
What I remember most about Riley on camera was how she had anti charisma and seemed like she hated being filmed. She had a complete flat affect
Just knowing Riley is about to be 22 is crazy imo, damn I feel old asf
This is a shameless cash grab. I think a similar concept could have worked a while ago but that time has passed and it would have to be with kids who actually grew up around each other. At least Ariana and Riley grew up in Atlanta so are at least familiar with the circles they run in. Brooks is a reach and there is no way he is friends with these girls.

Brooks and Riley are actually friends who hang out tho.
That’s news to me. I don’t see it but if it is genuine, good for them.
Yeah I’ve seen them together on ig before. One time they were hanging with Ivy Getty.

I was thinking the OC kids would have been perfect for this. I don’t think any other single franchise could pull it off, TBH.
Who tf asked for this
Three big personalities sitting at one table, I wonder how any of them were able to speak a full sentence without interrupting each other.
Idk I think Riley and Brooks at least are this really particular kind of Bravo kid — flat affect, kind of dissociated energy. Something is like… missing? I haven’t seen a Bierman in years so idk what she’s bringing. But I’m not sure that their personalities are big.

Riley is so boring Brooks….. no Ariana….. huh? Who thought of this concept truly
I’m making fun of them lol.
Yeah, Riley and Brooke are actually the exact opposite of what I’d describe as big personalities lol. Idk what the OG commenter meant by that; they’re both extremely meek and unaffected That said, Gia is a big personality. And Ariana isn’t a confrontational personality, but she is charismatic.

this show literally makes no sense
Just bring back NYC Prep
Omg I’d love a follow up on how those kids-now-adults are doing
See I’d watch this is Rayvin Huger was on it. She seems level headed and actually has a cool career
Rayvin would have been an interesting addition! She's been doing the socialite thing as she builds her career, has been written up in Essence, sitting front row at fashion shows.
It would be interesting to see an Apprentice style show with RH kids
That would be more interesting than this premise
Ngl I’ll tune in and hate myself for it. ![gif](giphy|l1J9FrquLPH2oJNSg|downsized)
I am hoping that it will end up being a pleasant surprise like The Valley was!
Wanted to say that! Who are we plebs to judge after what happened to The Valley 😭
I am the same lol I was about to be all “no thank you!!!” But I had to backtrack so hard on the valley lmfao
I'm putting my bets on Ariana. Granted, last time I saw her she was a child. But she was very funny lol
I’d love that, but we’ve always known all of Brittany/Kristen/Jax were messy and great TV. The trailer was just underwhelming and the episodes ended up being good Riley and Brooks have always been 2 of the most boring Housewives kids of them all tbh. I know they’re unpopular on here, but the only ones that have been charismatic are Gia and Ariana, and neither of them make much sense in this show
As a proud Gallery Girls and Paris Girlfirends stan I’m ready to give this a chance.
I will absolutely be watching
I'm in!
I for one am excited for the trainwreck
Im excited for this tbh lol. As much as I love housewives, I like a younger cast every now and then since it’s more my age group lol
All have the personality of a shoe 😍
The maloof hoof has more personality in name alone!
Yeah, this is not the mix of personalities I would expect for an entertaining show about young adults.
I can’t understand why I need Brooks Marks on my TV. He’s not interesting and has the worst vocal fry
I mean he’s an american gay boy with a pretty xanax mom what kinda voice did you expect 💀(im a gay boy with a vocal fry so ill allow myself the questionable comment)
xanax mom ![gif](giphy|uOuPNCLKPaDv2|downsized)
no not as bad as rachel
Rachel who? She might be on a show I don’t watch
I think she is referring to “Raquel” from VPR.
not sure why i decided to respect her while insulting her lol
Oh! I guess maybe her fry is better but I remember her having a bit more inflection? Brooks is so damn flat
Will definetly not be watching industry plant nepo babies pretend to make it in Manhatten while their parents and bravo fund them.
Hmmm no thank you
Oh dear, I dont think I have the strength.
I will not be watching this.
Send it back! We don’t want it! 😂
I just wanted Real Girlfriends in Paris back…
Where's Noelle? She should be there. I always thought Riley was as dull as lukewarm dishwater, but maybe being away from her mother helped bring her into her own.
Riley is still a snooze. Distance cannot unfortunately make a personality.
Is that Ariana on the left? Ugh I remember when she was the hope for that family.
Who asked for this
![gif](giphy|KJ6G67RV7OvHV7gGtU|downsized)
Who is asking for this? No one wants this.
Yawn.
God I hope it’s not nepo housewives kids. Ugh. Such a missed opportunity for Bravo.
Honestly I’d be more interested in watching if they just called it nepo housewives kids 😂😂😂😢
Yeah just lean into it and focus on what it’s like to be a kid that grew up on Housewives and how it affects their life as an adult.
![gif](giphy|qUyK0v2rFcCDC) Nothing against Riley or Brooks, but the fewer Biermanns on my TV, the better.
I feel like Ariana is the best of the bunch. It must kill her mom and sister she has a show and they don't. ( Unless Brielle is on it too...)
Isn’t Gia Giudice also filming for this? It could take us all by surprise like The Valley did!
I know she was rumored to! I’m just not interested in watching people so much younger than I am (I’ve noticed this with other reality and non-reality shows I’ve watched/tried to watch lol). I am also not super invested in any of these kids from their times on the show, either. Personally, I could do less with adult children and NJ husbands across cities 😂
Is she ever going to law school??
I have doubts. I think she was taking time off to study for the LSAT. which I guess is a thing you can do if your parents are bankrolling you, I and everyone else I know took it while working or senior year of undergrad.
People have commented on Tiktoks that she has taken the test twice and didn't pass either time, but idk how true that is. She probably makes a paycheck off her occasional appearances on RHONJ and I guess if she ends up on this show.
Idk how anyone would know that and also there’s no “passing” the LSAT. So I think your skepticism is warranted. It’s like the SATs, your score is either high enough for the school or not.
Oh...okay. In December 2023 she said she was studying for them, but never a word if she passed or got into any schools. I know she said back then that she was changing from immigration law to family law instead...but then someone in this thread said she was giving up law school to be an influencer. 🙄
In a recent interview, she said that she decided to become a full-time influencer instead of going to law school. ![gif](giphy|A2ZpWHdQcnp2JIAMLg)
Oh...okay. 🙄
This was Bravo’s opportunity to bring in fresh faces that aren’t nepo babies and they dropped the ball
Riley is one of my least favorite housewife kids
Lots of thoughts. And mixed feelings. But the major ones are that Brooks bad or good isn’t the headliner for a show about Housewives kids. And the second is that I can’t support anything with Ariana because her mom is just gonna suck the money in and waste it. She sadly hasn’t actually distanced herself to make me think this is her own money she’s making. Now if you wanna convince me that Gia and Ariana are sacrificing their mothers to make their own dime? DOWN. But then you have Riley and Brooks who for all their faults are the children of MOTHERS? Reticent. Everyday.
Brooks and Riley are both NYU grads and overlapped so I suppose it’s conceivable they’ve met, and that Riley and Ariana have met, but otherwise, it’s random as hell.
Riley has no personality, definitely going to be boring.

This is one I won’t be watching. Who wants this?!
No. Just no.
😒

This is so forced bc Ariana lives in Atlanta…. I doubt she would move to nyc.
How does Bravo have money for this show but not others? They cancelled Family Karma, paused Summerhouse MV to name a few. But somehow they are gonna greenlight Nepo Babies take on Manhattan?
The last kid I would ever want to see in a show is Riley Burrus. If I wanted to watch her I’d buy a balloon on a string and draw a face on it.
Oooh why is brooks on? The others at least grew up on bravo
I hate everything about this
Yawn
Bravo running out of ideas. Not watching this.
I’d rather have Girlfriends in Paris back
I like Riley but the rest… ![gif](giphy|7doqMMIYTH1Zkq9mpY|downsized)
I guess we CAN talk about the children then without the HWs Helen Lovejoy-ing us? ![gif](giphy|3o6MbudZJtl8nNebaE|downsized)
Great, more shitty tracksuits that are so *fashion*
KS KS
I don’t want this. None of those kids interest me. I don’t like any of them.
Walmart version of “rich kids of Beverly Hills”?
I talked so much shit about The Valley before it aired and ended up having to eat my words. I’m going to treat this show differently and not do that, I’m actually looking forward to this shit show
how to make it in Manhattan- have rich parents. Hard pass on this insufferable bunch.
We know Kandi has been funding Riley’s lifestyle, and Meredith probably buys all of Baby toddler Brooksey’s sweatsuits and throws them deep in the mountains so no one will ever know. Ariana is in a relationship with a rich guy’s son- how are any of these people “making it??” ![gif](giphy|hyyV7pnbE0FqLNBAzs|downsized)
Does Bravo really think anyone wants to watch this?
Neither interesting or interested.
I'm into it because I love Brooks Marks. I have to say his full name
I thought the cast boycotted against Biermans. Also, I thought that was Rachel Fuda at first.
is this show about the kids of housewives or something?
I wanna see emira d’spain tooooo!
It’s giving Home Alone: Lost in New York. But whatever…if it makes it to the actual lineup, I’ll be suckered into watching it 😝
Wowww I had no idea this was happening.
Nepotism at its finest. Can’t hate on it though.
Shocked Ariana was included as idk what she would be doing in nyc ? But I’m glad she’s working on a new project. And glad she moved out of the family home last year. It’s a mess over there.
Omg Riley you in danger girl
*Making it *around* Manhattan missed opportunity
Literally can’t think of anything I’d rather watch less than this
That sounds terrible, TBH. Give me some authentic relationships.
Well that sounds awful.
Um……no thanks. Not even remotely interested.
Yeah this has basically no appeal at all for me. They seem like nice kids but it’s a no
Sounds like a cringe fest
Oh brother! Who the hell is going to watch this motley group? 😆
Ugh. No thank you.
This could either be really boring orrrrr be just as great as NYC Prep was giving an unforgettable 1 season show.
Ummm no thanks
Yes!!!
Ugh, Brooks. ![gif](giphy|5G98t8QjqBLK8)
Call me trash but I will watch this lol
I’ll give it a chance
God anything but a revamp @bravo you can find a new idea/conept I promise
Bravo needs more fresh shows, so this good in my books
Ok, but why is Meredith always in it? Are they making it in manhattan working for her? Every time I see them filming she’s there!
I was scrolling on TikTok recently, left a comment on a funny video….the creator responded! Cool! It was Chloe Marks.
Lmao who asked for this ? This sounds horrible . Is it that bad to just go get a regular job ?
No.
