A week after the final episode of season 7, May 17, 2015, the fifth spin-off to The Real Housewives of Atlanta premiered on Bravo, titled Kandi's Ski Trip once again starring Kandi Burruss.[11] The three-part television special follows Burruss, her husband Todd Tucker and their blended family as they go to a ski trip together.[12] [13] The series received relatively high ratings.[14]

U.S. television ratings

The season's premiere episode "Bye Bye and Bon Voyage" attracted over 3.8 million viewers during its initial broadcast on November 9, 2014, including 2.2 million viewers in the 18–49 demographic via Nielsen ratings. It marked as the most watched season premiere ever to air on Bravo.[15]

Cast and synopsis

In June 2014, it was reported that all of the cast members from the previous season would return to the show, including NeNe Leakes, Kandi Burruss, Cynthia Bailey, Phaedra Parks, Kenya Moore and Porsha Williams.[16] It was later confirmed that radio and television personality Claudia Jordan had officially signed on to be a full-time housewife, while singer-actress Demetria McKinney would have a supporting role.[17] Bravo released the cast photo of the upcoming season a month before its premiere with all the housewives excluding Williams, meaning that she was demoted to a recurring role. The casting decision was met with surprise among the other cast members;[18] [19] Andy Cohen later addressed the decision, explaining that "it was about the amount of story we got from Porsha this season," also adding that they initially wanted her to be a full-time cast member but "haven't gotten enough to merit that."[20]
