Introducing the Maryland socialites who are the newest Real Housewives
Greetings from Maryland!
First impressions of the new housewives…
C. MOLLY SMITH:Lets start with Gizelle Bryant.
MARY SOLLOSI:Oh, I like her too.
Credit: Bravo
MOLLY:The diss that I loved was when what did Gizelle say?
I dont think thats going to happen.
MOLLY:Okay now, Karen Huger.
MARY:What a snake.
MARY:A bunch of things she says, I thought, would have been perfect Housewife taglines.
MOLLY:Does Karen think shes Marilyn Monroe?
I need more personality!
MARY:I could not believe when she said about her boyfriend, Hes so great with my kids.
MOLLY:Oh, Katie…
MARY:Katie, why?
MOLLY:I LOVE Robyn Dixon.
Shes my favorite so far.
How long have you been sitting on that zinger, Robyn?
MOLLY:Oh, shes been waiting.
MOLLY:I cant get a read on Charrisse Jackson Jordan.
MARY:I dont know.
MOLLY:Last we have Ashley Darby.
MARY:Wait, how many housewives are there?
MOLLY:She wasnt in the premiere episode, but shes in the preview.
From what I can tell, shes an outsider whos pretty confrontational.
MARY:Oh, she had that line about the cougar den in the preview.
I cant wait to meet her.
MOLLY:I think that the cast is pretty strong.
MARY:Im excited about them.
But theyve got a new set of rules literally.
NEXT: Breaking down the drama…
MARY:The first of the premiere events was Gizelles tea.
Karen was so dressed up!
MARY:I think shes definitely threatened by Gizelle.
I think thats why shes so mean to her.
MARY:So much authority.
MOLLY:I also didnt like how Karen was shaming Gizelle.
Shes like, what about getting back with your husband?
He cheated on her and thats a legitimate reason to leave.
MARY:I know, that doesnt fly in Potomac, yikes.
I think their dynamic is going to be so great to watch.
Or pound cake recipes, clearly.
MARY:Oh my god, the one-upping.
Im so excited to see their children.
I love Real Housewives children.
Shoutout to Milania Giudice!
MOLLY:Now, Karens birthday.
MOLLY:When Gizelle was talking, you could tell that Karen was getting ready to go, nuh-uh.
MARY:Dont say older!
MARY:Of course they have crab in the first episode.
For their opening credits shot you know how the OC women all hold oranges and Atlanta all hold peaches?
they should each just brandish a crab at the camera.
Get it together, Karen.
How isthatpermissible, and sitting in the middle of the table at someone elses birthday is so reprehensible?
MOLLY:I cant decide who is worse, Karen or Charrisse, because Charrisse asked for Gizelles help.
But the framed etiquette rules that just blows my mind.
Like, again, with Robyn putting on her wedding dress.
Are we really going to have a huge fight over this?
Maybe… but I likedPotomacso far!
Its fun to go into a completely new series.
MARY:Oh, yeah, theres nothing quite so exciting as a brand newHousewives.
I really liked the premiere and cant wait for the rest.
Just, yo, notThe Real Housewives of D.C. anything but them.
