Bravo's Real Housewives shows need to stop breaking the fourth wall

Decider

"I don’t have to tell you that 2020 has been a hectic year (devastating global pandemic, etc.) but perhaps there is no better phrase to sum it all up than: Bravo, Bravo, f**king Bravo," says Lea Palmieri. "At least in terms of reality TV watchers, a whole lot has happened on our beloved Bravo this year, most notably, every cast member on a Real Housewives series seemed to pick up a sledgehammer and break right through the fourth wall. At first, it was exciting and scary and thrilling! Now…it needs to end. Breaking the fourth wall happens when a character acknowledges the TV show they find themselves in by directly addressing the cameras and crews behind them. Zack Morris and Fleabag are prime examples on the scripted side of things, and now, there are simply countless examples in the Real Housewives Universe."
