I miss Monique!!

Season 5 was the most explosive season of all. While I don't condone fighting I do understand the reason the altercation happened was because of instigating by Gizelle and Candace mouth! You can't antagonize people and then play victim when you get dragged.

Now, watching season 6 Candace still has a disgusting attitude and her mouth is a mess. This season her target is Mia and she's doing the same thing that led to her getting dragged last season. I miss Monique being on the show but I LOVE the fact that she left on her own terms. Classy Class Act!!

Why Gizelle is the face of the show is baffling to me. She NEVER has a storyline. Every season it's a relationship that's more of a situationship. Her entire life /lies were put on blast at the Season 5 reunion and Bravo let it slide. She's messy, miserable and mediocre! I loved when Wendy got her together. She was dumbfounded by it. I was proud of Wendy because Gizelle think she can come for people marriages and get away with it BUT Wendy wasn't having it!

Robin relationship with Juan is not real at all. She's more passionate about Gizelle than Juan; it's so obvious. Robin shoulda of been gone off the show but without her Gizelle has no sidekick. I would love for Bravo to split them up and see if Gizelle can stand on her own.

Ashley is just Ashley... She can go right along with Robyn. Bye!

I love Karen!!!!! I think Askale is a good addition to the show as well. The jury is still out on messy Mia....

Mehhh...

As far as the "Real Housewives" franchise goes, this is not the best one. Gizelle and Robyn are really the only ones who are somewhat likable, Katie is a phony, Ashley isn't terrible but kind of annoying. Karyn seems to want to be the Lisa Vanderpump of this series, but she isn't as likable or charismatic as Vanderpump.

I think the issue of this franchise entry is that it just is not that interesting.

I'm done.

Very disappointing to see a bunch of professional African-American women act like kids. Candace is a Chihuahua that doesn't understand that her words have power. She's great at throwing rocks and hiding her hands. Because of this, I'm done with watching the show until he off.

These women have an incredible platform to show positivity however, that is not what they choose to do. Definitely seems like the women are disjointed and you can tell that they are forced to be together because the friendships are not genuine. Definitely like watching a train wreck in progress. Hopefully the show will get better one day.

Fire Candice

I use to love this show but Candice is annoying and corny. I rather not watch it she gets under my skin. Can't wait until someone puts her in her place. Very disrespectful to the women on the show. But what do you expect from a person who disrespects her mother.

She really needs to check her attitude she is making black women look bad. I don't understand why she treats people that way and is always playing victim. You want to be the villain than stand in your truth stop straddling the fence. Pick victim or villain. It would be so much better to just recast her for a more interesting person. Please recast!

This show is fantastic!!

If you love the real housewives series - this show is amazing. The first two seasons are a little slower compared to other real housewives franchises because they are building the characters and their relationships - but season 3 is already off to a STRONG start!

Season 6 Wendy & Candice need to be replaced

Just finished watching season 6 and Wendy is trying too hard to be relevant and Candice is too offensive: season 6 was disappointing. Bravo can do better.

Entertaining

I rated this based on how well it keeps my attention, not on the quality of the content. This is your typical trash TV, but it's definitely not boring. Most of the ladies on this show are annoying. After watching all of season 1 and part of season 2, I can say that Gizelle is delusional and insecure, Karen is a hypocrite who always touts etiquette, Charrisse is just all around horrible, Katie is a desperate, annoying airhead, and Ashley married for money and was desperate for Karen's approval. Robyn is definitely the only likeable woman on the show (I don't know much about Monique yet). You'll like this show if you like any of the other Real Housewives, Basketball Wives, etc. If you're not into that kind of thing, don't bother tuning in.

This is NOT Potomac, MD

I grew up and worked in ALL area of Washington, DC. In the "real" Potomac, MD, you wouldn't find any of these characters.

Love the Show!!

I love this show so much. Please come back with more seasons. This show is so great and I love the dialogue!!! I love to hear from each of the ladies on the show. All of the ladies have a story to tell and I love to hear from all of them. Beautiful women on the show. I'm not sure where the last lady is.

Take It Off The Air

This show is boring . Very shallow back stabbing blah women. All u hear every episode is how 1 womens parents died, then sexual assault for weeks from Michael charges dropped . They r so boring now we have to watch them promote kids singing career. They have no material to make episode and enough depressing about parents dying its every episode we heard.

A brilliant show with incredible people.

Seriously vapid women that pretend to be cultured and intelligent.

Is this how great our culture has become?

Awful show with no redeeming value.

Karen is truely a "karen" that looks as if she was beaten with an ugly stick.

Classy Trashy

The most entertaining way to take all this in, is to just watch the out-takes / previews before and after each episode. Classy trassy stuff you envy. We are a sad society. LOL

Selective Attacks

Might be the last episode I watch. Ashley is sickening...She starts mess to perpetuate Mess. If you let anyone go...Please get rid of the unsophisticated messy Ash who does not represent most black or white common sense adult women.

The show reminds me of mean girls going viral. Let's talk about Robin...She is all over the place. She is Chizelle's puppet.

Wendy...I hate the fact that she is automatically threatened by another Jamaican new cast member. It is so apparent she is jealous of the new Jamaican...(Sorry can't remember her name). This show use to be one of my favorites The show has become a bust!

Potomac, please do better

While I used to love The Real Housewives of Potomac, the recent seasons have been disappointing. The show, which once highlighted the strength, ambition, and beauty of its cast, has shifted focus toward excessive drama, double standards, and constant conflict. It's been tough to watch how the show's potential has been overshadowed by these negative dynamics. Instead of showcasing powerful, classy women who celebrate their successes and elevate each other, it often feels like it's centered on tearing one another down.

The continuous feuds, personal attacks, and the overwhelming focus on negativity make it hard to appreciate the value the show used to bring. It seems like some of the cast members, instead of showing their true selves, feel pressured to create conflict to stay relevant. The idea of strong, independent women supporting and empowering each other is what originally made Potomac stand out. I would love to see a return to that positive, uplifting energy where the women come together to showcase their achievements and personal growth, rather than leaning into drama for the sake of the show. There's so much potential for this cast to be an inspiring force, and I hope the future seasons can reflect that.
