On Tuesday, May 5, at 10/9c, fans of the show can experience the season finale together online during an interactive live stream of the new episode that combines Facebook Connect, Sign with Twitter, and mobile chat.
The live interactive viewing party will most likely parallel the CNN Live with Facebook coverage of Obama's Inauguration, albeit with a lot less pomp and circumstance and a whole lot more drama (these ladies are feisty). Bravo and their Housewives, however, are trumping the President by adding Twitter and mobile interaction options on top of the Facebook integration.
The ultimate virtual viewing party starts a half-hour before the live stream. At that time, fans can sign in with Twitter and tweet alongside Bethenney Frankel (New York) and Tamra Barney (Orange County), update their Facebook status in real-time with other fans and friends, and chat via mobile phone to get insider tidbits from cast members.
