The Real Housewives of Potomac Recap: No Sex in Charrisse's Champagne Room

"The Real Housewives of Potomac," Episode 3: "Hold Your Horses"

I love Monique. I rarely have a strong, positive reaction to a new Housewife. I'm a hardcore Erika Jayne fan now, but her first couple episodes were rough for me. Her first season tag line didn't help. Monique is different. She just seems cool and genuine and her arc tonight with her mother-in-law is super relatable, which helps. I love how she won't back down from Gizelle's ridiculous hazing. She's holding her own. The one black mark against her is her friendship with Charrisse, but I'm trying not to hold that against her.

"The Real Housewives of New York City," Episode 2: "It Girl, Interrupted"

I'm not sure Bethenny knows what a sexy Halloween costume is. That's not a read. I love her "Josie and the Pussycats" style cat costume, but when she comments to Carole that her vagina is hanging out, I'm wondering if she is looking at the same costume we are. I'm also thinking that Bethenny should go back to her long hair. I love how she looks in that wig. Let The Countess Mrs. D'Agostino rock the short look. There's more to this episode than just Bethenny's Halloween costume, unfortunately, a lot of it has to do with new cast member, Tinsley Mortimer, who is super boring, unless you care about mugshots and what makes a socialite. If you, like me, don't really care so much about that, this episode doesn't have much for you. Let's dive in anyway.
