8.5 RHODC Premiere: Meh.

And so begins another “Real Housewives.” This time we are in DC! Exciting city, not-so exciting housewives. Although, I will not completely write them off yet because they are new at this so they are still awkward/nervous on camera.

Mary
Mary’s opening line is “I don’t make money, I spend money.” Clever. Mary seems to be the only one (besides Cat) who has any remotely close political ties, so there’s that. Her husband does not seem to join her anywhere (even at her birthday party…), but he does own red pants. The security pad on his closet reaffirmed my distaste for her. Then she got drunk and said that they should not integrate salons….Yep.

Lynda
Lynda the cougar runs a modeling agency, but in DC who really knows what that means. Is it possible that she is a former model? Wouldn’t surprise me. She pretends her concern is legit about Michaeles weight…my guess? It’s not. Her relationship between her and Michaele should be interesting as it plays out this season and will probably be a source for a lot of the drama.

Stacie
Stacie seems completely legitimate at first. She went to Harvard Business school, has a job (well, in real estate), seems to have a normal home life with her husband and two adorable children. Then she pulls the race card because Cat doesn’t like Tyra Banks and prefers Bush to Obama. We’ve seen one white woman mixed with a group of black women in Atlanta, so it will be interesting to see the opposite here.

Cat
Cat has recently moved to DC from across the pond, much to the delight of her children. I imagine Cat’s daughters wanted to move to American after watching Jersey Shore. I mean, who wouldn’t? Naturally, she is writing a book, because if you didn’t know all housewives are authors. She also dislikes Tyra Banks, which I find hilarious but I don’t think the other women are impressed. So far I think I like her as I believe she may fill the British void that Simon Cowell has left in my life.

Michaele
I already dislike her…not because of the white house party crashing nonsense, but because she claimed that Whoopi Goldberg hit her. She refers to herself as an average, normal girl before she met her husband. Sure, because all average, normal girls are models, obviously. She tries very hard to convince us that there is substance to her. Guess what! There isn’t. No seriously, she makes me uncomfortable. She is clearly the outcast of the group, even called “second tier level” by Lynda. Not a fan.

Is this Paul character the honorary 6th housewife? He appears to be everywhere. The jury is still out on him. But he seems to be playing all sides. I hope that he is not a Kim G in the making.

We’ll see what happens…
