According to The Los Angeles Times (via RadarOnline), Bravo wanted their natural thoughts and emotions coming across in the special. It's uncertain as to whether or not the special will air before or after the premiere which is scheduled for next Monday.
As per a source close to the show, the Times noted the women weren't given specifics about how the chat would unfold and that was on purpose to get their frank reactions and thoughts.
