Subject: Bravo turns down Asian American franchise
Spill It to BravoandCocktails.com: A sizzle real was shot and sent to Bravo for an all Asian American housewives franchise set in Honolulu. There were real friendships, dynamic women, and diversity within the Asian American community. Bravo wants no parts in it.

Bravo come on there’s more than these mainstream women who aren’t friends -go back to true links it’s better Salt Lake is what you get when people don’t know each other which is complete tiring insanity or have we forgotten the 87 episodes from season2

I would love to see a show like this. Makes no sense why bravo wouldn’t be interested?

That sounds good but I can see why Bravo has turned it down. The natives of Hawaii has constantly said they do not like all the tourism and foreigners coming. Bravo probably didn’t want to get backlash from the natives

Budget probably had a lot to do too…Hawaii is NOT a cheap place to live! Housing/feeding a cast there would be way over typical expenses.

If Bravo doesn’t start hiring people who are legitimate friends it will be the death to the Housewives franchise.

There is a lot of native hostility to anyone who is not from Hawaii so it doesn’t feel like a place to launch a franchise. There are plenty of places where there are real friendships and dynamic women but that are less hostile

Are you there Netflix?

I’m not surprised that Bravo turned it down. Maybe Netflix, Amazon/Freeve or Hulu will pick up the show. I’d love to see this.
