Fans are speaking up about the reality network that hosts popular shows such as the Real Housewives franchise, Below Deck, and Vanderpump Rules.
The outrage among viewers comes as The Real Housewives of New Jersey announced it wouldn't be doing a reunion for Season 14 — the first time since 2009.
It also comes as VPR wrapped up its Season 12 with no solidified plans to film new episodes as the cast needs time to "reset," according to showrunner Alex Baskin.
The network has expanded its library over the years, with shows such as Summer House and Southern Charm, and multiple spinoffs such as Below Deck Med and The Valley.
However, people have been giving their opinions on Bravo's current direction while suggesting it start with fresh shows and new faces.
TIME FOR A CHANGE?
Fans have been taking their thoughts to X, formerly Twitter, after seeing recent news regarding the network.
"Bravo is in shambles. They need an overhaul. Change the contracts to include more rigid rules with filming, stop letting OG’s and favourites coast and get away with everything," one person tweeted.
"Have the same standards for everyone! Bring the reality back and no more of the cast producing," they added.
"The shows were built on interesting women, with careers, wealth, families. If you hire interesting women, you don’t need to manufacture and overly produce," a second slammed.
"Agree. I’ve watched #bravo from day one, but I’ve lost interest. The new shows are just ok & the old shows r too dramatic. The HW’s franchise isn’t giving us the normal human interactions that drew many of us in. #TheValley is diff but will it last? I dunno," wrote a third.
"Change production contracts too. Make it so that the producers can't ice out talent, either. (VPR isn't the first.) If production doesn't understand something, keep it off air. (Hello, RHOP). Also don't think one company should have like 4 projects, either. Lines get blurred," a fourth tweeted.
"Scrap all the house wives shows, more like top chef, designer shows, new ideas," suggested a fifth.

"Someone said all the non-housewives shows are what’s carrying bravo at this point and I kind of agree," another noted.
"They also need to have strict rules with production as well. Stop playing favourites, no socialising with cast, give fair edits to everyone and just let reality play out without over producing everything," said someone else.
A few others chimed in with clauses they believe should be in future contracts, including making it mandatory for stars to film with all cast members and participate in the reunion.
They also want cast members to stop leaking storylines on podcasts and social media.
Some also slammed Bravo's production team for forcing celebs to engage in fake conversations to advance a storyline.
WHERE THINGS ARE ENDING
There have been a few new announcements in the Bravoverse recently, including an unprecedented schedule change that rocked RHONJ.
On Saturday, it was revealed New Jersey would not get a Season 14 reunion as the cast was unwilling to film together.
The rare break led many viewers to insinuate that the Bravo show would soon be canceled or have a new star lineup.
“The women were notified by production this week that a traditional reunion wasn’t happening this season amid the divisive state of the show,” a source told Page Six.
A second source said Bravo is now "brainstorming a different concept to wrap up the season instead."
The cast, which includes Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Jackie Goldschneider, Dolores Catania, Margaret Josephs, Jennifer Aydin, Rachel Fuda, Danielle Cabral, and Jenn Fessler, is currently in one major fallout.
The ending of Vanderpump Rules also had viewers speaking negatively about the network after the spinoff aired its Season 11 finale.
The last few minutes showed OG cast member Tom Sandoval, 41, attempting to have a private conversation with his ex Ariana Madix, 38, after cheating on her just months prior with their co-star.
Ariana refused, as she believed it was clear Tom was just trying to make a better name for himself in front of cameras.
The three-part reunion was also met with some backlash as fans called for Lala Kent, 33, to be fired from the show.
The fate of VPR is currently unknown as the show has paused production on filming new episodes.
The producer has also teased introducing fresh, new faces for Season 12, as current cast members have hinted at switching over to The Valley.
