Angie Katsanevas

Well, Heather reached down. She said, hi, Angie. It's Heather Deans. That was her name. I mean, I hadn't seen Heather in a while. And she said, I'm referring you for this show for Fabulous Businesswomen. But nobody told me it was Housewives. So when I interviewed, I was like, yes, this is correct. And I mean, I was like in my business suit.

And I was not giving any inkling that I was Housewife material because they didn't tell me what... what show I was interviewing for. So I was just not very fun and playful, just being definitely really professional and probably more uptight. But they had already cast the six girls when they found me. So they circled around to me around season two.

And that's when I just kind of like, you know, I made an appearance. Heather invited me to her event and she was super supportive. She again followed up with production and said, you guys have to like circle back around to Sean and Angie. And then they did. And I came on slowly, which I think is the hardest way to come into this group and on this show. Yeah, because they don't really welcome you.

It's like, we're going to haze this girl. We're going to prove she's a fraud, that she's a money launderer, that her marriage is a sham, that everything about her is fake. It was unbelievable for them, I think, that I really was successful. And I thought, I do check the boxes. I'd love to be on this show. I wasn't expecting to get blindsided.

I thought I was coming on because I was aspirational and sharing my life and my business. So, I had to fight and, you know, Mary said it best to me. She said, Angie, like they try to take you out. She's like, you rebounded, you came back and like, you slam dunked.

And like, I had to, I had to work really hard to like show up on the trip and have people boo me for showing up uninvited, which is the episode I was on with you going on Watch What Happens.

Thank you. You know, that's what I had to say. Like, you know, that was one of the most iconic dinner scenes. And I guess if I wasn't there, they would have just been getting manis and pedis at the hotel. So thank God I showed up and crashed. Right? Blew up the party, as I say. But yeah, it's like, I think for me, I've had to work for everything in my life. And you know what?

I had to really work hard to get to not just start out as like coming and showing up to a party from guest to friend, but... to going full time and then winding up center and first turn next to Andy. Like I worked hard for all of this and that is the story of my life. So I have to say it's been hard, but it's, it's worth it. And it's more worth it when it was harder to get where you are.

And also having been the underdog, I think it sends a great message. I heard Brittany was on watch what happens live. And I've only seen the clip cause I was in Canada, but yeah, And Andy asked her if I should have sat in first chair. And she said, no, it should have been an OG. And I just said, Brittany, girl, dream big. Because if I didn't sit there, then you should never sit there.

And like, I've always been a leader, not a follower since I was a kid. And I'm a leader in my business. And you know what? I wanted that center. I wanted to sit next to Andy. Yeah, if you're going to be there. Yes. If I'm going to be an underdog and then make it to the throne, like I'm so proud of that and I'm going to enjoy and revel in the moment.

So I think that the message I'm sending to anyone is you can start at the bottom. You can be an underdog and wind up in the center. And I hope that that inspires Brittany that she's entitled to sit in that chair one day, too, if she gets absolutely together with her hair.

That made me sad for her to hear her say that. And he said it's not about being an OG. So I felt like he backed me there.

Yeah.

I love this cast. It's like every person on this show is perfect. And I think coming back, it will be even better because I know you evolve with time. You learn from watching yourself, your friendships strengthen, your connections to the women strengthen, and they become deeper, which makes you have a better season because...

you really fall in love with some of these, not all of them, but you really, I mean, you become a family and you can be more truthful. You can be more honest. You can stand on all 10 toes. I mean, everyone gets better every year. And I would, well, not everyone, but most of us, but the cast is like all star. And that's why Salt Lake stays winning. I think everyone should come back.

And I think Bronwyn did a great job. I think she still needs to figure out who she wants to be friends with and where her loyalty lies. And you can't be friends with everyone on this show. And the sooner she figures that out, she'll be winning because she's still trying to be friends with certain people, even if they dogged her.

And like, you don't that, you know, you have to be confident and know that you deserve real friendships and not beg people to like you. Like, find your friends, hold their secrets. You can't tell everything. You know, that's been something that I think she's going to watch back and realize like she's made some messes along the way.

And I think it's because she was being friends with whoever was in front of her. And I think now she's going to learn that you don't do that, you know, because then you're backpedaling and you have a big, giant mess to clean up. And there's a little more of that to come with her. But I think she's a smart woman. And by next season, she'll figure it out.

Well, and like, you know, being on a trip and she'd be in everyone's room talking about everyone. But her goal was, I'm going to be friends with everyone. But if you take information from room to room, you're not friends with everyone. And that will come back and bite you in the ass. And I don't think she realized that. All you got to do is watch yourself one season.

And again, she's smart and hopefully she'll never do it again. But I like to know that I can talk to someone and know it's not always going to go somewhere. Right.
