Why Is Aviva Drescher Missing From The Real Housewives Of New York Intro?

The Real Housewives of New York City - Season 6

Did Aviva Drescher have her golden apple reneged?

We noticed that last night Aviva's intro was cut from the beginning of Real Housewives of New York. Of course that got our minds whirling – does that mean we'll never get to know how her leg gets thrown? Did she quit the show mid-season? What happened?

Reportedly it's all a ratings ploy by Bravo! Aviva will be absent from a couple episodes. She wasn't able to attend Heather Thomson's trip to The Berkshires because of a family commitment and according to NaughtyButNiceRob she refused to attend a subsequent cast trip to Montana.

Aviva had reasons to bail on the trip – no, not a small plane phobia – but asthma and concerns about 'roughing it' in the outdoors with her prosthetic leg. As a result the Bravo producers put Aviva on 'probation' for not honoring her responsibilities to the show, but she ultimately returns in a few weeks.

As for Aviva's disappearing intro, Bravo is hoping the drama will encourage sagging ratings. As if Ramona Singer flinging things at Kristen Taekman week after week isn't enough…
