Real Housewives of D.C. ~ Season 1

[Jeanne B]

I told myself last week I'd watch one more episode to give it a chance but once again...BORING!!! I've watched all the Housewives until now, I'm done with D.C.

 

[antmaril]

This is the worst of the housewives.... I don't think I will be watching this again.

I agree. I won't be watching this one. I didn't care for any of these people and I thought it was boring!

 

[RUDisney]

Boring and those Salahis are just reprehensible.

 

[KAMLEM]

I didn't like any of the ladies, and the show was BORING. Not sure this one is worth my time to see again.

Ditto!!

 

[minniebeth]

I love the Housewives shows, and I know this is repetitive, but I too think it's boring...

Michaela is as clumsy and ungraceful as they come for a woman with her status. I know that's not very nice, but seriously.

Did not care for Cat's personality as well, and I know it's all part of the show, but was annoyed with her bragging.

I'm most drawn to Mary and think she probably has an interesting history.

I used to live near DC and visit frequently, so I like seeing the scenery I'm so familiar with. I've stayed at the Williard Intercontinental where Michaela is so lavished, but got rates I'm sure a fraction of what they paid for their suites and service, lol.

I know I want to say I won't watch, but I know I won't stay with that, I'll DVR and fast forward a lot

I watch them all, but I agree. This one is the most boring. The name dropping is lame and being that I'm not at all intersted in politics or power, I'm not entirely sure I'll DVR these.

They all think their poop "don't stink". Yawn. I also think Mary is the most interesting - and Stacie seems down to earth. The rest - blah.

I would love to see a Dallas Housewives - or Charleston or Savannah. Lots of drama in old money!

 

[goofinoff]

I too think it's boring but we are only 2 shows in sooooo.....I'll keep watching!

I think that Michaele woman is an idiot!

I really like Mary a lot, as well as Stacy. But I didn't see why she got so bent that the other one didn't like Tyra. Who cares?

I think Lynda is going to be the resident trouble maker. It's obvious she doesn't care for Michaele.

I REALLY don't like Cat. I saw the previews for the season and she makes a couple of comments about Americans. One was "I know you're American but use some manors." or something to that nature! Then at the Polo match she made a comment about how Polo is much bigger and the event is much more lavish in the UK and that she wasn't very impressed. THAT is one of my biggest pet peeves...when people move to my country and then proceed to speak ill of it! If you don't like it then take your snooty butt back to England where you came from!

 

[Luvmy4boys]

Anyone still watching this show? It started out a bit boring, but is now getting more juicy IMO.
That Micheale woman and her husband are pretty nervy. I agree with Lynda too. Micheale is way too thin.
As for Cat....I have a real problem with people coming to our country and then not being able to say anything positive about it.

 

[jrmasm]

I was wondering if there was any truth to what was said about Mary's daughter and the car. I haven't seached yet....

 

[Luvmy4boys]

Lynda says on her blog that this Lolly/car incident had taken place 2 years earlier. Why bring it up now unless the only point was to hurt Mary.

That's weird. If it happened that long ago, wouldn't Mary have known about it? Especially if the FBI were involved.

 

[mhsjax]

I am the old woman out, I LOVE this Housewives. I don't like Cat,but I do love the fact that she says what she thinks. And I do agree , if you don't like America, feel free to leave. I love the other ladies, can't stand Micheala, or whatever her name is. I don't think they are boring, I think they are a little understated, and after NJ and that craziness, I am ready for a little calm.

Anyone looking forward to Housewives of Beverly Hills?, that should be interesting.

 

[beattyfamily]

I'm still watching DC show. It's alright. Not my favorite, but it's alright.

I am looking forward to seeing RHOAtlanta coming in October!!

I think Jersey is my favorite followed by NYC then the OC. Not sure though. My opinion changes once one show ends and another begins.

I enjoy Bethany and I like Gretchen alot.

 

[momrek06]

Michaele and her DH are disturbing. Being on the DC HW's will show everyone in DC who thought they were legit, just what idiots they really are.

Now that incident with Lolly ... I am still confused. Whether or not it was 2 years ago, did Lolly KNOW the people involved in the stealing of the car and the equipment and did she post on FB about it ... ???

Yes, now that I have read here, I find it totally disturbing that Turek brought a TWO YEAR OLD incident up at dinner after a nice day. Turek decided to make Mary and her family look horrible WHILE THE BRAVO CAMERAS WERE FILMING. Why didn't Turek or Michaele speak to Mary and Rich IN PRIVATE.

But that being said ... Mary and Rich should definitely check into this situation. As it started to play out last night I thought it was going to be something like the recent 'bling ring' of LA.

I just cannot get with CAT, she just seems so pompus all the time AND rude.

Stacie, Lynda and Mary all seem nice.

As far asa HW's series goes, I watch NJ, OC, DC! I have never watched NY or AT.

From The Washington Post articles following the series and doing fact checking on what is said:

(Time to break in now. We, too, do not know every detail, but our reporting indicates that this was a relatively minor incident -- a year and a half old already by the time of this dinner - that did not involve the FBI, nor implicate Lolly. It goes back to May of 2008, when the Salahis' America's Polo Cup organization hosted a match at Lansdowne Resort in Northern Virginia. The Loudoun County Sheriff's Office confirm they received a report of missing clothes and polo gear, as well as a complaint about a car that had been moved from where the owners left it -- it was found, a short time later, in the same valet parking area. A "possible suspect" was identified more than a year later, after police received new information, and some of the items were returned. Though there are a couple of active warrants -- for larceny and unauthorized use of a car -- they apparently haven't taken a whole lot of precedence, because they still haven't been served. No one has been arrested. The full police reports are not available since the case remains open. But the sheriff's department confirmed that Lolly's name was not part of the investigation.)

I've been watching and think it is eh.

I like Mary and Stacy, they both seem down to earth. Cat is downright rude, although I do like the way she showed some heart to the whole Lolly/Theft/FBI story! Lynda...IDK about her...not got any feelings one way or another.

Micheale.......Choo Choo, all aboard the crazy train. Someone stealing your car was (I forget the exact words she used) 'devastating' Really? Devastating is losing a child, having health issues....certainly NOT having someone take a car, go for a joy ride and the car to be returned to the valet lot. They are an odd pair, her and her DH...then whe whole thing about his mother sueing them, but I think they all live in the same house?!?!?! And things are coming out about them not paying bills.....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! I don't ever wish bad things on people, but could you image if they lost all 'their' money (it is most likely his mothers money)....I honestly don't think they would be able to function in the real world!

I know....poor Mary is sitting there crying after this bomb was dropped on her and those two whack-a-doodles are talking about how devastating it is that the car and equipment were stolen. I'm so glad that Stacie's husband spoke up and said something like "Who cares about the car? What about her child?"

I did just read an artical saying that Mary and her husband made a lot of phone calls and found no proof of this incident ever happening. I guess they contacted someone in the FBI and they said that the FBI was never involved nor was the DC police. Mary called it a "Solahi-ism." She said it was a complete lie that Lolly was involved. Can you imagine someone saying that about your child? Clearly he said it to be malicious.

 

[klj27]

I have also been watching. I can not stand Cat...... so arrogant and intolerant and rude.

 

[agnes!]

I tell you one thing...I am NEVER ever buying any Oasis wines after watching the way both of the Salahis behave. gack.

And I'd really like to know Tark's mother's story, all that legal business with that couple?...I don't even know them and I want to sue them!

agnes!

Here's my 2 cents.

I knew Tareq was full of it when he mentioned that the FBI was involved. His explanation was since the car was valued over 80K then the FBI gets involved. Hey Tareq! Have you seen the prices of most of the cars being driven in DC? Most are over 80K and the FBI does not get involved in those thefts!

Tareq and Michaela are two of the biggest wannabes I've ever seen. She has not had an original thought in any episode. She just repeats what is told to her as she is his puppet.

I like Mary, Stacie and Lynda. All three seem to have their heads on pretty straight.

Not too sure about Cat. My thought is that she's just a brash Brit. In the begining, her comment is, "I'm here for a good time, not a long time." So I think this is really just a game/good time for her.

Fun to see things in my backyard here.
