Bravo needs better casting. How is the show called RHOP, and half the cast doesn’t even live in MoCo?

Ashley is in Arlington, VA
Wendy is in Carroll County, MD
Candiace is in Prince George’s County, MD
Robyn is in Baltimore County?

People watch the housewives for wealth not for someone who has the DMV median basic household income.

Where does Giselle live? Also, I agree that they are quite scattered for them to be on a show that is based in Potomac. I am from the area, and I don't even know where Carroll County is.

Gizelle lives in Bethesda. So technically, she’s fine. But still having a show called Potomac and half the women don’t live in Potomac proper is stupid and a stretch.

When it was DC only 1 housewife lived in DC. Atlanta is the same. Many of them live very far from Atlanta.

+1 . . . and Denise Richards lives in freaking Malibu and is on RHOBH; the list goes on. It only stands out on Potomac because we're more familiar with the area.

+1 Touché-- fair enough

Sad Monique is leaving but it’s probably best for her family.

What do you mean? I didn't get an impression he was hard on her at all. She was on a WWHL and he doted on her.

Currently watching the reunion and can’t get over how bad they have painted Big Boy Chris. They have truly tried to make him look like a monster. He came out trying to apologize and Gizelle acted as if he was being overly aggressive, further perpetuating the violent black man image so many black men have to deal with.
Gizelle was so messy and is really the one who causes all the drama on the entire show. I am glad that Monique apologized. I wish she had done so without adding why she was triggered. Sometimes an apology without the extra is all a person needs. Otherwise it can feel disingenuous.

I like Chris and Monique, and I am glad they have made the decision to choose their family over the show. They were on channel 5 this morning discussing it. I love how he defended his wife!

I feel the same way. I just watched the reunion this morning, before coming to this thread, and thought to myself "you are both so far above these people, get out now if you are so worried about your kids being judged". I'm glad they've decided to do so.

I’m glad the Samuels decided to move on as well. Gizelle hazed Monique from the beginning. Gizelle was never going to be friends with her. I don’t know if it’s out of jealousy or for another reason but from Day 1 she treated Monique poorly.

This show has painted Monique in a bad light. It’s obvious to me that Andy can’t stand her. Wish she could’ve left on top and not the manner in which she did. But I get it. My family would be more important than staying on the show.
I’ll miss her “real money” as she is the only rich house wife on RHOP now that Charisse is gone and Karen& Ray had a few financial issues. Probably won’t watch anymore. The whole cast outside of Karen act like high school girls.

Really? He’s so mean to her. I think it’s because he loves Gizelle.

Search twitter. Hundreds of comments calling out Andy’s behavior toward Monique compared to other housewives.

Brandi from BH was vulgar and gross, and I think Dallas had a stripper episode, but it seems like Atlanta and Potomac have more "almost naked" moments that border vulgarity than the others. I always wonder is it because no one would want to see skinny ass Heather Dubrow or tres amigas, or if I'm a closet racist for being offended, or if black women notice it too and if they're bothered by it.

Good riddance. She had fifty-eleven excuses for her violent behavior.

Just saw on Insta Monique is quitting and ran over here to post. I’m totally bummed! Candiace should be forced off the show or demoted to friend of the show. Candiace and her husband and Wendy cannot carry this show alone. I definitely don’t want to see Gizelle go after Karen because as a fan I won’t have it. Hopefully Karen and Ashley can stay strong and find a way to come out on top of Gizelle (who is mean spirited and nasty)

Ashley is friends or friendly with Robyn and Gizelle. I think she will try to straddle the middle between Karen and Gizelle like she did this season. Karen lied, picked her side and I hope they crush her next season.

-Gizelle has no real boyfriend and is bitter because of it. She won’t be able to go after Ashley (because of the pregnancy) or Karen (fan favorite)
-Juan gets to continue to drag out a marriage with Robyn. Same boring storyline since season 1 ....ughhh
-Ashley should be fearful because the fight distracted from her husband’s affairs and predatory behavior
-Karen (the real Queen and grand dame ) will be fine because she and Ray are planning their 25th anniversary.
-Wendy no real storyline

I’ll use my time to invest in something other than RHOP for season 6.

It' so sad when women define other women as bitter because they are not with a man. Why do some women need a man to define their happiness. Men are great as they have their moments, but they are definitely not the be all above all else. Pitiful.
