The Dish

Real Housewives of D.C.

The series makes its way to the nation's capital.

May 26, 2009

From OC to... DC?

Bravo is heading to the nation's capital for the next installment of the hit Housewives series. Now in development, the show is set to follow some of Washington's hottest power players. The city is full of political insiders, style mavens, and high society debutantes, so the wives are sure to be an interesting bunch.

Bravo is scouting the D.C. area to identify the city's alluring and discriminating residents, those women who have their pulse on the most important cultural events, political galas, gallery openings and fundraisers in Washington society. These leading members of D.C. society are in the know and comfortable discussing everything from the economy to high fashion. They are the talk of the town in the most powerful city in the world.

What do you think of the Housewives move to Washington? Sound off here!

I have no idea why Chicago has not been considered. Hey, the Windy City has wealthy women, political wives, business women, and it's share of classy homes.

my mom and her best friends would be perfect for this! They have so much drama in there lives. all of the sons play hockey, there is a gymnast, track star, two cheerleaders, and a genius son! they are constantly stirring the pot and wanting attention.

I think there should be a RH of San Francisco, or Honolulu. Where are the Asian Housewives?????

I love all the housewives except Atlanta. The DC housewives were definetly different. Consider doing Dallas or Houston. Texas has beautiful women, lots of money and beautiful homes. Everything is bigger and better in Texas. Including egos. Another network had a series called Dallas Divas and Daughters we loved that...I dont know what happened..but Bravo could pick up Texas for the next franchise it would be the awesome!

I think Stacey is extremly classy and is honest, kind, thoughtfull and poised when dealing with her difficult cast mates.

Cat... I heard your comment that Charles couldn't even tell your kids goodbye... having gone through the same thing with a former live-in ex-boyfriend, I know that's the lowest blow. You're a better mom and a better person than that and any man who can't face children to own up to their actions is no man at all. I hope you heal fast from your divorce and find the happiness you and all women deserve.

WHERE ARE THE HOUSEWIVES OF MIAMI - CAN WE HAVE SOME LATINA WOMEN REPRESENT !!!

I agree. Let's spice it up!

what about boston houewives ??? please we got it going on too ! cant belive this!!!

Stacie, you represent women very well, Thank you.

I totally agree with you on that!!!

Stacie I appreciate you and your husbands views on gay marriage and also the strength to speak your belief when others will criticize you!

Stacie, Watching the show last night and seeing the meeting with u an Stella was very emotional, may you find the joy you deserve to complete the happiness you have obtained

Lynda and Cat rule; totally smart women who speak their minds. Great work Bravo! Please create an Austin or Dallas housewives; I'm originally a Texas native.

Attn: Catherine...my mane is Marie, I'm a mother of three and a stay-at-home mom. FYI, I have been married for 15 yrs to the father of my children and btw, am pretty much a single parent! My husband runs a corporation and is rarely home, even had to live apart for a year and I was left behind to manage the construction of our 5000 sq ft home alone with three babies, and NO help. I do love ur abrasiveness, I too am a bitch, lol! But pls, get I some big girl panties and stop crying in front of those little girls. Life is tough, but so ru! Ur better then that, and if ur ever in AR (which by the way, I am now a damn Yankee and the whole town I live in hates me) I'd love to have u over for tea darling;)!!! I knw how it feels to b an outsider, and I promise, as it makes u aware of what ur made of, u will learn to appreciate all the bull!

I have been a fan of all the housewife shows for many seasons and I like them all, some more then others but I must say that The Housewives of D.C. are very very boring and I have been trying to get into it but it's just not happening. I say remove the show, it's just taking up good air time.

P.S. I love Bethanys getting maried show. I hope to see a lot more of it.

I disagree with you. I feel that housewives of D.C gives women who have class and culture a housewives show to watch.These women handle themselves with so much more class than most of the other housewives. I love it.

I love this cast ! They are the best

I enjoy watching these reality programs. I think it teaches us that everyone is human ... and that everyone has their side to every story. If you pay attention the one's who judge the others for 'drama' or 'speaking their mind' ... do the same thing. It is just on different issues or situations. Everyone does it. I like Cat ... she is upfront and owns what she says and does. They are all just people living their lives ... and trying to be happy ... like we all do!

Why not start another franchise on real housewives. Middle class or lower income families and show the audience that many people are struggling to get by just like they are. Show young families trying to make ends meet. It isn't about huge home and expensive clothes! Give us a show that can show the love and sacrifices real families make!

New Orleans has some women from serious ol' money.
Get some real locals ladies with those beautiful southern accents and you've got yourself the making for another good show.
But keep it real...get real southern women, not women who transferred here from another state. You need the full flavor of true southern women to get the right effect.

Why didn't the show air last night?!!!

It was a holiday weekend. They never have new shows on holiday weeks (like Memorial Day or Labor Day). The new one is this week!

Bravo should flip the script and do a show about teachers.....the housewife thing is becoming predictable....

I think the next real housewives franchise should be filmed in DETROIT!!! it would be the classiest season yet!

Detriot is so ghetto

Why is there no message board?

Stacie IS a native of DC, Lynda lives in or near Georgetown (in DC). Mary, Lynda, and Michaele knew each other before the show people. Did you pay attention to the first 2 episodes???? OF COURSE, the DC Housewives are not going to be violent and ignorant acting like New Jersey and Atlanta...it's DC! Pay attention when at one point in the first three episodes, it's mentioned that DC is 'very closed doors' and 'DC isn't receptive to flashy people and money'...The Real Housewives of DC offers a V E R Y different vibe from the other housewive shows. They are more classy and tamed than the other housewives shows, in my opinion. I'm tired of watching shows where grown women chase each other through country clubs and call each other 'bitch' and 'coke whore' at every turn. The Real Housewives of DC is number one on my list!

Three words: come to TX!!
Austin, TX is home to many different views and would be a great venue!

I agree about Texas. Except come to Dallas. This city will blow your mind.

I am usually not a follower of housewives, but a few of my friends are cast members so i watch it. i hate to say i am finding dc housewives quite boring and the story lines not believable. you have 4 white women and 1 black woman, who obviously did not know any of them prior to the show. where was erika at the aunt's dinner? the casting is very unbalanced and needs to be juiced up. i said it once and i'll say it again, you need to add erika to the line-up. she does have a balance of white and black friends. because she's not a housewife you keep editing her out. she, in reality, is shear entertainment at its best. cat had her pegged last night when she said erika was territorial. she is very territorial with her friends. don't get rid of michaele. i like her. i think she's genuine. she needs to dump that husband, though.

Being from the DC area I can tell you these woman are NOT a treu representation of the DC area! I love Housewives shows. Soo disappointed in this show already. Except for Mary : )

DC housewives are my least favorite, they arwe BORING! I hope they go away.

I totally agree with you!!!

I am also from Potomac, MD and was wondering why this cast was selected. It does not represent Washington Elite and is so strange to watch. The only thing that I was thinking is that the true elite and actual locals are very private and probably did not want to be bothered.

I think that all of the housewives shows are not a true representation of the communities that they supposedly represent. I live in South Orange County in one of the "behind the gates" communities depicted on the show. However, I am nothing like Tamra, Gretchen, Vickie or any of those women. I don't have a nanny and I enjoy spending the time with my family, etc. Most of my friends are like me and not like the women who are supposedly "representing" our communities! I think you can't take the shows too seriously and have to realize that the fun of them is that the people who would agree to put their whole life on display are kooks anyway! It sure doesn't seem to make the marriages stronger--hence Tamra's divorce, Lori leaving the housewives, and Vickies rocky marriage. Just fun to watch all the crazy women in the diferent cities accross the US>

I'm a Housewives fanatic! Love the New York Girls, and Jersey comes very close. After watching the DC Girls I know it is going to be a very interesting show. Ok Stacie go easy on Catherine, I know she seems rude and opinionated. Europeans tend to be that way. I am sure not all of them are as forward as Catherine, so Stacie hold your stance you may find yourself caught up in a corner you do not wish to be in. And to the viewers looking for the San Francisco housewives lets cross are fingers. I can just imagine them, from all parts of the city here which should offer many interesting personalities. Go Frisco. Cali Fresh and Sweet.

I want to see the real house husbands of Greenwich village!
(house-husbands?)

Should have been housewives of Loudoun County.

Loudoun County, Virginia? LOL too funny!

Real Housewivesof Dallas, Texas would be mad crazy

I think it should of been the Housewives of San Francisco.

I think it should of been the Real Housewives of Dallas, Texas

Love NY and OC best, Jersey SUCKS as well as ATL. Am excited for DC..but there really needs to be a serious consideration to film a Housewives in Nashville, TN! Everyone loves Nashville!!!

SO excited the Housewives are finally in the nation's capital!! I attended the party last night and got some great pics to share with you.. enjoy! http://bit.ly/9UDVg2

I wish Bravo would do Housewives of SanFrancisco.

Great idea!!! Would be terrific!

Without question, the next Housewives show needs to be in MIAMI. Couldn't stand it when I lived there but that's exactly why the show would be GREAT!

Ha! I lived in that area for a short while, but too long for me. I hated it. You're right...that's why it would be good to watch.

There needs to be a SOUTH CAROLINA desperate housewives!!!! Bring it to the SOUTH other than the ATL.
