I watched it just to see what it would be like, but I think I will skip it. Maybe later when there have been a bunch of shows and they are showing reruns in the middle of the day and I don't have anything else to do, I might watch it. That is really how I did the New York and the New Jersey shows. Never have watched Atlanta or Houston.

lol Rehtse, Wouldn't doubt it. Do like this one way better than Jersey. I stopped watching that at the beginning of this season. That older lady doing the pole dance was the straw that broke the camels back, so to speak.

Enough of these fake social situations on all of the HW shows. I can't think of a reason why Stacie would bother with Cat any longer other than to keep people watching. My idea of hell would be a party with Danielle, Kelly and Cat .............shudder. The eye candy for me on DC HW is Linda's tall, dark and handsome gentleman friend; if I could clone him I would never watch these shows. Any what is this with each show having a "gay" husband ? What is up with that ? It's like they are accessories. Aye yi yi

I have too many good books that I would rather read than support these nonsense shows. I do enjoy Bravo shows like Top Chef and Work of Art but these "Housewives" shows are so ridiculous!!

I finally figured out who Lynda reminds of.... If you put helmet hair on Lynda, she could be Judge Judy's twin.

I hope to never see any RH show or any off-shoot of one ever again. I'm tired of watching the rich whine and gossip and treat others so poorly. If they have any true talent (and Alex is the only one who qualifies to me), then please let them just all go away.

Lynda reminds me of a somewhat older version of Sandra Bullock.

Just came across this article: Police investigating 'The Real Housewives of D.C.' episode Posted: August 16th, 2010 07:56 AM ET A Washington D.C. Metropolitan police car was incorrectly edited into a clip of 'The Real Housewives of D.C.,' a publicist for the reality show's production company said Sunday.' Washington (CNN) - A Washington D.C. Metropolitan police car was incorrectly edited into a clip of "The Real Housewives of D.C.," a publicist for the reality show's production company said Sunday. The information came to light a day after District police announced they would investigate whether reality stars Tareq and Michaele Salahi got a police escort for their limousine to attend a party, as depicted on this week's episode of the reality TV show. The Salahis grabbed headlines as "White House crashers" after attending President Barack Obama's first state dinner without an invitation in November. Full story

I thought it was ridiculous and probably phony that they were escorted by the Police!

This show gave me PTSD of some of the people I encountered while living in Northern Virginia. Most of the people are wonderful and kind, but then there are these types that try to impress people with their name dropping and social climbing skills. The women all look alike, dress alike, and have little to no manners. The men pretend they know so much about the political scene and know nothing, but are too busy trying to land their next mistress to care. I pray Bravo will not renew this show...it's just plain creepy.

where did I read that Tareq Salahie's mom called the police because he was at the winery and she was upset he was changing locks, taking things, etc? I thought it was here- so I had to google... http://absurdtosublime.net/2010/08/16/tareq-salahi-locked-out-of-winery-mother-calls-police/ In another of those “reality ain’t real” moments, Tareq and Michaele Salahi do not own Oasis Winery, seen on the Real Housewives of Washington DC. It is owned by Tareq’s parents, and is currently undergoing bankruptcy proceedings. (oh I see now, they refrenced the TMZ )

and more info on the charity fraud accusations from their "polo cup" - http://www.nowpublic.com/world/tariq-michaele-salahi-charity-scam-tied-americas-polo-cup-2529850.html The America's Cup of Polo was designed as a fundraiser for the Journey for the Cure Foundation, a charity created by Tareq and Michaele Salahi that claims to raise funds for MS and leukemia. However, it appears that the Journey for the Cure Foundation may be a scam. The state of Virginia warned consumers about the Journey For The Cure Foundation. A Virginia-based newspaper revealed that the charity did not submit financial records about fundraising contracts to the State Corporation Commission. According to one insider, other charities associated with the America's Polo Cup did not receive any funds from the event. Some event vendors have not been paid. Salahi and the America's Polo Cup were sued for $300,000 by Market Salamander, a caterer in Middleburg, in 2008, alleging nonpayment of services.

I've never watched any of the other housewives shows(except for 2 eps of NY to find out who Kelly was, the one that everyone thought was nuts or on drugs), so I'm not in the burnt-out bitter state about these kind of women on tv yet. But I'm sure I will be by the end of the season...LOL In the mean time, I am finding this show interesting.

I watched about 20 minutes and turned it off. I am officially done with all HW's series and all off-shoots of them.

I tried to watch the show again the other night and got to the point where they were going to go horseback riding. I got so bored, I turned it off and read a book.

I am not overly impressed with this show as it is not turning out to be the group of women that I expected but I should not be surprised given the other shows. As an African American woman used to DC I expected a show similar to Atlanta but with those involved in government jobs and business. With that said I do continue to watch.The Salahi's amaze me and I must admit I cannot believe they used store bought grapes in the latest episode. Maybe they never said they were grown in their vineyard; but to me that is assumed. I can relate a lot to Stacie and I find she and her hubby very positive. Linda seems ok and a very good Mom. Mary I want to like as I liked her later Grandfather Arthur Godfrey; now Cat I can totally do without.

Quick question, who paid for that stylist's (Paul?) birthday party a couple of weeks ago at the Four Seasons?

When the Salahis arrived at that other winery in a limo, I thought they were very pretentious and ridiculous. It's sad there is a rift between them and Tareq's parents, though.

I dunno. I grew up in the DC area. I've hung with lots of different types of people in DC, even including the polo set. Heck, I even know the producer of the show (in full disclosure). But after seeing a few episodes, it doesn't feel "DC" to me. I don't see the spirit, culture, flavor of DC in these people. But I guess everyone says that about every show set in a town.

Not sure what I think of this show, BUT I will say that I like how Mary is always on camera without her makeup. Not sure why I felt the need to mention that LOL, just something I noticed...

I have finally caught up with all the episodes and it is starting to grow on me...I think Stacey is the most likable. Cannot stomach the English woman. Hate the way she act!s! Its ok to not like everything she dislikes ( which seems to be a lot) but lacks manners in her delivery. Still can't put my finger on what annoys me of the Salahis..is it her constant smile? Is it normal to always" act" so happy?

The Salahi's were highlighted on "Real Sports" on HBO as a result of their involvement with polo matches for charity and the resulting financial questions. Interestingly the 2010 match was the USA vs India only the supposedly Indian players were all Pakistani's who are the arch enemies India. The Salahi's were interviewed and noted that there were vendors who did not pay them which resulted in further problems. Host Bryant Gumbel asked the interviewer if the Salahi's were delusional ! The Interviewer noted that the Salahi's were quite charming and not in a fake way which I can understand. I want to like Michale but then they do things which seem so inappropriate.
