New, Georgetown-based Bravo show picked up!

[Anonymous]

Georgetown will never be played out, it was never trendy. Old money. There definitely are playboys with money, mostly entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, etc. who throw extravagant parties with lots of security.

For those who say Georgetown is played out -- yes, for those who live in DC. For those outside of DC, no one really knows anything about it.

That's what I was thinking as well. My first reaction was "who gives a flying fig about Georgetown" but when I thought about people not from the area, Georgetown is a recognizable name associated with fancypants folks. Works for a Bravo show.

Also, its going to photograph/ shoot well for TV- bricks, cobblestones, density of blocks, etc. That's definitely a factor in creating a show.

There isn't one, the OP is claiming to have an insider.

I agree. I'm a Bravo whore and I'll admit it.

Me too!

Same, pretty much every show on my DVR is either Bravo, E! or Destination America. that said, every show that has been about DC has never made it past one season because DC is so freaking boring. Lets be honest, politics pretty much bores the shit out of most people. Even people from DC - most just pretend to be interested in politics because they've convinced themselves that it's a spinoff version of Hollywood.

I predict this show is a major fail. Now had they done that show in the St. Elmo's Fire days, back in the 80's - then yes it would have been more interesting for sure.

No.

Who is this show based on? Bill Dean? Michael Saylor? This type of show would have been interesting back in the glory days of Late Night Shots / Smith Point / Reed Landry running DC (because it did get out of control and the attitudes were hilarious), but I definitely don't see the show catching on now. Especially given how so many people leave DC to fly down to Bill Dean's villa in Miami for major parties, outside of his annual holiday party. I just feel like the major money players don't spend enough time in DC anymore and the true, fun, entertaining party people are all older, with jobs and families to worry about, so not likely to get involved in something like this.

Ntm, no one in that scene would be caught dead on a bravo show.

Now maybe the fame whore insta guy with the beard... could totally see him signing up for something like that, with a James Bond chic townhouse /party palace to balance the LA pool house bit.

Ugh you mean leech and social climber extraordinaire Nicholas Karnaze? He's such a prick and he is shady AF. If he is in this show, I hope the gossip mags spill all his secrets and the secrets of those around him. From the charity run by one of his female friends that's supposed to help women but all funds that go in get spent on the founders lavish shoe collection to theft and assault charges against other girls and guys in that group. They pretend like they are the creme de la creme of high society but they are really the lowest of the low.

This is exactly the type of dirtbag Bravo will usually greenlight...Sounds like the perfect trainwreck.
