D’Andra Simmons doesn’t wing it when it comes to shooting scenes with her cast mates for “The Real Housewives of Dallas.” In fact, she’s always quite prepared going into scenes with each and every one of them.
During an interview earlier this week, D’Andra opened up about how she prepares to film with her co-stars.
“I kind of look at everything that’s happening week by week and I will make my own notes about what points I want to get across,” D’Andra admitted to Page Six.

“It’s really important if you’re not prepared when you’re going into doing a scene and you forget something and … you can’t go back,” D’Andra continued.
While D’Andra feels that she’s doing what she can to protect herself and get her story out there in an accurate manner, she said that her “Real Housewives of Dallas” producers think she’s a bit odd for doing so.
“It’s a catch-22. They like the fact I’m prepared. On the other hand, then do you take out the spontaneity of what’s going to happen?” she wondered.

While D’Andra makes an effort to control her storyline on the show, she admitted to Page Six that when it comes to the edits that go into production on each season, it’s not always possible to get her complete story, down to the notes, on each episode.
