Granted I haven't spent a lot of time in Washington, but I do hope they find the requisite spray tans and fake boobs hidden in the suburbs. I've never seen exposed cleavage in DC ever.

When are they finally going to have a Real Housewives of Dallas? THAT would be great television.

You know what they say: Everything's bigger in Texas...including the hair, the boobs and the drama.

But who around here will fit the RH mold? I don't see much in the way of implants, Botox, and beggin' strip style tanning even in Potomac. We're naturally ugly plus all the evil here is centered around power, not money. Eh, I'll watch anyway.

@HelloTitty: I think there's a very small population in Georgetown, and in the affluent areas further up Wisconsin Ave. that they'll focus on. The ladies who lunch, and whose kids are classmates with the Obamas. I sincerely doubt it'll be diverse.

I can't imagine that anyone with actual connections in DC would go on this show but I am looking forward to this. I just hope it's more racially diverse than the other RH shows.

I also can kiss my Tuesday nights at 10 goodbye after the New Jersey housewives. I'm in a Bravo vortex and I can't help it.

I bet it's set in Silver Spring, MD.

The people who are actually getting things done won't touch this with a ten-foot pole, which means that the levels of social climbing and pretense will be off the charts.

It will be fun to spot crew and cast in DC.

@Smitros: Good lord, I know. I can't wait to see if they get the climbers who pretend to know things and fail miserably, or the ones who pretend they're too rich to need to know things. In any case, either of two + alcohol + power hunger = TV I will watch.

Though you probably have more taste (if less money) than some of the future RHs.

If they mess with the little Nepalese place on Wisconsin Avenue I'll join you at the barricades.

Making it no different than all the previous "Real Housewives"... that collection of vapid climbers on the NYC show made Jessica Nederlander Seinfeld look like Nan Kempner. Feh.

That brand of elitism was a lot of the last eight years, anyway.

Fortunately for me, my contact with 202-style doucherie is limited, since I largely work alone.

My sympathies if you can't dodge that bullet.

Here's betting "DC" will really be like Prince George's County, Maryland. 'Cause most of us are aware that DC is really pretty much one of those U.S. scab cities, outside of like the 10 square miles where all that political stuff happens.

@Spirit Fingers: i doubt it'll be p.g. county. i was born and raised in pg county and most of the people living there are still too poor to be featured as a "Real Housewife." my money's on montgomery county (bethesda/chevy chase) or northern VA (anyone living w/in a mile of tysons corner).

@Spirit Fingers: @SnigdhaCheetah: What about Upper Northwest and Georgetown? Please, there are PLENTY of over-gentrified, overly-rich, totally spoiled peppes living within the DC city limits. Their mansions aren't big, they're just really, really, REALLY fucking expensive.

So we can all agree that there's no way this will actually film in DC, right?

And the hell is a Tysons Corner? Sounds a little like Pepperidge Farms. I'm envisioning wheat fields, Milano cookies, and people who have names like May and June.

@Spirit Fingers: It is a giant mall. Then the surrounding area got called Tysons corner because of it. It is technically McLean.
