'RHOBH' Season Five Cast: Will Christine Chiu Join The Bravo Series?
Could Christine Chiu be Bravo's newest addition to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills?
According to a source, Chiu has tested for the show three times already and was recently seen filming for the show's upcoming fifth season.
“Christine is definitely in the running to join the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” the source told Radar Online on June 13. “She has the lifestyle producers are looking for, but there’s something holding them back because this is the third season they’ve tested her for.”
At the end of last month, it was reported that Joyce Giraud and Carlton Gebbia, both of whom were brought aboard the show for season four, would not be returning to the show, thus leaving two empty spots. Then, earlier this week, AllAboutTRH confirmed that Brandi Glanville, Yolanda Foster, Kim Richards and Kyle Richards were the only wives signed on for season five. With just four ladies on board, Bravo is surely hoping to sign at least one or two more wives.

Radar's source claimed that Chiu was seen filming with Brandi Glanville at the Vampire Lounge & Tasting Room last week and revealed she also has ties to Adrienne Maloof, who left the show after season three.
“Christine fits in really well,” the source said. “It’s just a matter of whose ‘team’ she’ll be on and what sort of storylines she can bring to the show.”
While the news seemed to make sense, especially considering Bravo is in the market for a Beverly Hills housewife, Chiu's husband, Dr. Gabriel Chiu, recently denied rumors on his Twitter page.
"It's all rumors," he wrote. "Please stop spreading them. Much appreciated!"
