They really should consider New Orleans or Chicago.
IF THERE IS A JEBUS – CONDY McCAIN YOU SHALL SOON BE ON THIS SHOW!!!
We definitely need a Real Gay Housemen of Chicago!!!
They should do something in Texas…there’s gotta be some interesting combos of white trash and money.
So are they going to profile the wives of elected officials, or what?
The cool part is that we’ll likely see Spike Mendelson and Carla from Top Chef do some catering for one of the Housewives.
A shame my wife’s anti spotlight. She’d be a shoo in for a show like this one. Maybe not rich and vain, but she knows how to kick butt in a cat fight and she can really press the flesh at social events!
Yay for DC…I didn’t know we had “fashion sophisticates” here…
Buffy, Muffy and Shelia with their head bands and plaid skirts. And Laura, Mary, and Catherine with their size 16 Laura Ashly dresses in size 16. Will be the DC housewives. Can you say style:)
It is sad that you can’t even form a remotely understandable comment. You are what’s wrong with America. Get some education STAT!
How about the Real House wives of East LA
Mandy I live in Texas and can tell you this I am sure that we do have white trash women here that would be willing to put THEIR PRIVATE lives on public television however most of the people I know would not even THINK of “telling the American Public” our inner most personal actions. IE … where I get my money from, what kind of car I drive and let not forget my status symbol-my 3.5 million dollar mansion!! All and I mean ALL of the “Housewives” are wannabe’s or just plain stupid …kids today are much more hateful than they were in my day and I am under 50 and would NEVER think of going on a show today not with my 16 year old son …just others to comment away. I use to think when he was in grade school that if you were a stripper that would be “great” for having alot of friends. Today as a junior in high school I would be totally embarrased to be his mother and be a stripper!! People have to think about other’s reactions and the final outcome of those.
Can someone, somewhere, create a reality TV show network, and put all these shows on one channel so that I can choose not to watch them? This genre seems to take up all hours of programming today, and they’re ridiculous to watch. Especially when they leave little time for any other kind of programming. Enough. Can this reality TV die its death soon, please?
I hold a PhD and this show is my favorite show to relax and stop thinking about serious stuff! Your pretentiousness is killing me!
It’s a shame that Bravo puts garbage like this on instead of the good shows they used to have like the Celebrity Poker.
yessss!!!!! they should def pick up some wives from great falls/mclean, bethesda, etc…
Although I’m immensely entertained by these shows I cannot believe that these women don’t mind being portrayed this way. Most of them have no depth of character as people. Truly sad. When a botox party is the hilight of your day what comes next?
What about the Real Housewives of Anytown, USA??
I am so tired of Dina and Caroline judging Danielle. If she did get arrested when she was 24 so what. We all have done things that we are not happy about. Jackie is having to choose between her friend and her family and I do not think that is fair to her. Teresa is two-faced and she needs to stay out of the conflict. Danielle is not perfect but she is human. If they knew about this book they should have gone to her instead of telling everyone but her. We all know that people write what they want in books. But because they do not like her it is oh so true.
I agree with you 100%. I was so annoyed with Caroline, Dina, and Teresa and their smear campaign against Danielle. Dina is an idiot and was so boring during her interviews; Caroline thinks she is a lot wiser than she really is and plays the matriarchal role way too seriously; and Teresa is just a trashbag. Jackie is a sweetheart and she should be allowed to have any and all friends she so desires.
I’m estatic about them finally doing washington. I hop they don’t forget the affluent part of PG county. Fort Washington, Bowie, Mitchellville, Woodmore. They have a lot of African Americans doing well.
Have they already completed the auditions?
Are they done w/ auditions?
my mom might go on it. my mom has been e mailing the production company back and forth. were not sure if we are going to go on it but we need to set up a interview. i like in washignton dc. its the perfect place to do it, the nations capital and richest county in the nation.
everyone love reality.
Hmm, yeah, doubt that your mom is going to be a part of the show considering you spelled Washington incorrectly. Also, it should be ‘an interview’ not ‘a interview’ and D.C. is not a county. The wealthiest county in America (Fairfax) as of 2008, is 30 minutes away from D.C. and that’s without traffic. Let’s be real, take a deep breath, and come back down to reality.
Fairfax county is not 30 mins from DC. It’s a big county, but technically to get from DC city limits to Fairfax county line could take less than 5. And we can’t forget about Arlington, Loudon, and Montgomery counties either. They’re all in the top 10 richest…
Just plzzzzzz bravo dont make the complete cast of boring caucasian women! Atl and DC are on the SAME boat as far as wealthy MINORITIES!
Upper Marlboro, Mitcheville, Largo, Bethesda, Rockville, Alexandria, Bowie, and etc are just SOME of the most affluent areas in this region!
i’m so glad they’re doing a real housewives of washington dc because i live in dc and its so refeshing to finally see dc back on the map and back on tv. we’re gonna have a real world washington dc and now the real housewives of washington dc, and they’re are some really great housewives in dcd that deserve their 15 mintue of fame.
Kudos to BRAVO for brining the The Real Housewives series to the great metropolis better known as “Chocolate City” A.K.A…Washington, DC. Here’s a take for the development department at BRAVO…
The Real Boys of the D-M-V (that’s DC/MD and VA) for the abbreviated challenged…Here’s an opportunity to showcase true reality tv at its best from a single male perspective. Let’s run it up the flag pole and see if it flies. Holla at ya “Boy”
I agree LOVE Washington D.C. but New Orleans or Charleston would be awesomeas well
The mayor wive should be on because the mayor will have been not donind what will with the city and the money is miss and it my should what the city money and purse are going
so when is bravo going to do a real housewives of MIAMI !!! like this city is one of the sexiest cities in the U.S and we and in desperate need to show the rest of the world what their missing out in miami !!
I am not from Miami but I would have to agree the Real Housewives of Miami would be very entertaining. That could take the place of The Real Housewives of New York. That is the worst casted Real Housewives I have EVER taken the time to watch. They need to do Miami, Chicago, Charlotte and another hot city. No more California cities, PLEASE!
