Andy Explains the RHOP Season 7 Reunion Seating Chart: "It's a Puzzle"

The Real Housewives of Potomac Season 7 reunion kicks off on Sunday, February 19 and you can bet no topic will be left on the cutting room floor. And one of those hot-button issues just so happens to be the seating chart for the Season 7 reunion.

As you might recall, reunion host Andy Cohen is right in the middle of the action. On his right sits Gizelle Bryant, Ashley Darby, and Dr. Wendy Osefo. On Andy’s left sits Karen Huger, Candiace Dillard Bassett, Robyn Dixon, and Mia Thornton.

Well, Andy reveals how they came up with the placement for the ladies during Part 1 of the reunion (check out the preview from the episode above), in case you were wondering. "You know what I want to start off with: How do we feel about the seating tonight?" Andy asked the cast about the seating arrangement. "You've all kind of been marveling."

Candiace's response? "Well, it was your design," to which Andy shared, "Well, no. I was a voice. It is decided by all of the producers and a lot of time it has to do with who's getting along. If you're not getting along, typically we're not gonna put you next to each other. Now, let me say this: this is a complicated group because there are a lot of people who have issues. So, it's a puzzle."

Back in 2018, Andy and other insiders shared secrets of the reunion seating, with Andy sharing at that time that deciding who sits where during the reunion is a big responsibility. "Some people are very concerned with where they are sitting at a reunion," he said at that time.

And don't forget that Part 2 of the reunion is slated for Sunday, February 26, and Part 3 in on the calendar for Sunday, March 5. According to a press release about the upcoming Season 7 reunion, Part 3 is a supersized 90-minute episode, and “Andy has a special post-reunion conversation with Robyn and dives into Robyn’s bombshell admission that Juan was inappropriately communicating with another woman prior to their wedding.”
