It seems Lisa Vanderpump has forgiven Andy Cohen for his shenanigans last season. Or she has been swayed by his mighty words because she tweeted that she will indeed be back for the fifth season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills!

"Well ok…Five has always been my lucky number,so we will see. #rhobh Let the games begin," Lisa teased.

If you recall, Andy made a trip to LA where he begged Lisa not to leave the show and promised to make some changes to the cast if she signed on. Carlton Gebbia and Joyce Giraud have reportedly been fired (although Joyce has not confirmed that she's leaving), while the remaining cast hangs in the balance.

Rumor has it Kyle and Kim Richards (bland and blander), Yolanda Foster ( Yay – more of her fake marriage !), and Brandi Glanville are staging a strike until they are given raises – a risky strategy given the abysmal ratings of last season after their plot to overthrow Lisa with nonsense drama failed. Big time. Bravo is seeking to bring on one to two new women and possibly downgrade Rambles to a supporting role. Please let this be true.

Allegedly Kyle has stood her ground with Bravo for years by refusing to come back if Kim is fired. Maybe this time she won't get her way – after all pretty much no one cares what Kyle thinks! As evidence – the central storyline of last season's show revolved around Kyle and the goofy 'Mauricio is cheating tabloid stories that oh no Lisa repeated and made everyone talk about.' And again, ratings = terrible.

Bravo is considering Shiva Safai (Mohamed Hadid's fianceé), Christine Chiu, and Dr. Ava Cadell as potential cast members.

Well, we all knew Lisa, who also carries a very successful spinoff in the form of Vanderpump Rules, was going to get her way! I have to admit, I am very curious about what this season is going to look like, but I hope it is much more fun, light, and colorful (with less of Brandi) than last year!
