Real Housewives, Below Deck Yachties, and More Bravolebs Come Together to Give Us a Taste of BravoCon 2022
Andy Cohen brought the party with the biggest Bravoleb gathering since the inaugural BravoCon in 2019.
BravoCon is coming back to New York City October 14 through October 16, and Andy Cohen just gave us a sneak peek at what we can expect from the upcoming super-fandom event.
NBCUniversal’s upfront presentation on Monday, May 16, brought together Bravolebs from across the network for the biggest party since, well, the first BravoCon in 2019.
During a livestream of the event, a clip played showing a couple watching Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen as they each tried to win just one free pass to BravoCon. After the pair accidentally bumped into each other while reaching for their phones to enter the contest, they were transported live onto the stage of Radio City Music Hall in NYC as none other than Andy took them through their ultimate dream come true: getting the chance to interact in person with Bravolebs from shows like Bravo’s Top Chef, Vanderpump Rules, Below Deck, Summer House, Southern Charm, Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles, Bravo’s Project Runway, and The Real Housewives.
During this Bravoleb-filled fantasy come to life, the couple went into the kitchen with Tom Colicchio and Gail Simmons; raised their glasses high with Tom Sandoval, Ariana Madix, and Tom Schwartz; hopped on a yacht with Daisy Kelliher, Captain Glenn Shephard, Rachel Hargrove, Colin Macy-O'Toole, and Malia White; partied with Austen Kroll, Shep Rose, Carl Radke, Lindsay Hubbard, and Kyle Cooke; got keys from Josh Flagg and Tracy Tutor; walked the red carpet with Christian Siriano; had a glam night out with Gizelle Bryant, Karen Huger, Garcelle Beauvais, Teresa Giudice, Kenya Moore, Kyle Richards, and Alexia Echevarria; and danced with WWHL’s Gay Shark.
It all culminated in everyone coming together onstage for one epic Bravo party, which is exactly what we can expect at BravoCon 2022, when it takes place from October 14 to October 16 at the Javits Center in NYC. As previously announced, the exciting weekend will feature tea-spilling panels, interactive experiences, live performances, immersive activations, never-before-seen content, and more exclusive shopping opportunities than ever before. More than 100 Bravolebs are expected to attend. Tickets will go on sale this summer, with additional details to follow.
In advance of its upfront presentation, Bravo announced several new series last week, including Real Girlfriends in Paris, Southern Charm: Leva Land (working title), and Xscape/SWV (working title), in addition to noting that series premieres are being formalized for previously announced new shows Below Deck Adventure, Life Is a Ballroom (working title), and Love Without Borders (working title), as well as the June 1 debut of the first international edition of The Real Housewives with The Real Housewives of Dubai.
Bravo also announced the return of numerous fan-favorite series, including Top Chef, Project Runway, Married to Medicine, MDLLA, Summer House, Winter House, Family Karma, Below Deck, Below Deck Mediterranean, Vanderpump Rules, The Real Housewives of Orange County, The Real Housewives of New Jersey, The Real Housewives of New York City, The Real Housewives of Potomac, and The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Recent premieres include The Real Housewives of Atlanta, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and Love Match Atlanta, as well as new seasons of WWHL.
For the first time ever, new episodes of Bravo shows will now be available to stream the next day on Peacock. Subscribers of Peacock’s premium tier will enjoy the latest Bravo hits along with complete access to past seasons.
