Speaking to E! News in 2021, Andy Cohen explained why Bravo doesn’t rush to start filming new episodes of “The Real Housewives of Orange County” after the cast reconvenes for the reunion special. “I think that show’s really important to a lot of people and it’s the mothership of all the Housewives and so we just want to take our sweet time,” Cohen stated. According to the “Watch What Happens Live” host, this gives the women an opportunity to go about their daily lives without cameras around, which he believes is beneficial for them.
