Now that this disastrous season of The Valley is over and casting is well underway for season four, ideas come forward on how to fix this could be great but so far from great VPR spinoff. Rumors, not nastiness, arise that Liz McGraw has officially returned to RHORI season two. Leva Bonparte, who has alienated all of her Southern Hospitality staff, has been sued by a former employee. Last, but not least, after a what feels like forever pause, the new season of RHONY has finally arrived.
