## Season Overview

The series idea was brought to Tabatha and greenlight in mid august of 2023. By late August the show had a cast of 14 and began production. It aired from August 31st to TBA 2023. The series was originally going to be a parody based off *Bridalplasty*, but was soon changed after Tabatha announced her temporary return to TV

## Format

Twelve women and two men competed in challenges in an attempt to become Tabathas next best friend or the next Cavalli. All dubbed "CavalliNators", the superfans were put to the "ultimate friendship test." Each episode there is a "Cavalli Challenge" in which the Cavallinators participate in different tasks involving Tabatha or her Cavalli/Rodriguez family. At the beginning of each episode (With the exception of Episodes 1, 7 and 8) Tabatha names one of her Cavallinators the Pet for the episode, the pet's job is to report any insider tea to Tabatha before the elimination to help Tabatha make her decision on who to eliminate. After each Cavalli Challenge, one or multiple winners will be named and will be safe for the week. Out of the challenge losers, and after input from that episode's Pet, Tabatha will call forward a select few of her Cavallinators she wants to discuss with. Out of those she called forward, one will be sent home, and their "friendship" with Tabatha will come to an end. On episode 6, Tabatha's identical twin sister, *Nahomy Cavalli*, made a guest appearance on the show to interview the remaining CavalliNators and see if they were a good fit to be the next Cavalli. It was revealed that TBA won the competition on TBA and became the next Cavalli.
