Welp, it finally happened. Bravo TV finally realized that not all of their Housewives TV shows are worth doing … because after only one (miserably bad) season of The Real Housewives of Washington DC, the network has decided to cancel the show. I can’t even list all the things wrong with the DC Housewives but I think the worst thing about the show was the cast. But, whatever reasons went into the decision … the end result is the same. The Real Housewives of DC is dunzo!

This past Thursday Bravo aired the first season finale of The Real Housewives of DC which focused pretty exclusively on the White House Party Crashers Michaele and Tareq Salahi. That ep alone contained all of the real drama that was pretty much missing from the entire season. Next Thursday, Bravo will air part 1 of 2-part reunion special that will pit the ladies (and gentlemen) of The Real Housewives of DC against one another to rehash all of the grievances that came out this season:

Today we get to check out a few sneak peeks of the 2-part reunion special which will give us a taste of what to expect. In all honesty, the DC Housewives are the boringest of the bunch … nothing at all really happened and even when it came time to showcase the White House party crashing, everything we saw was after the fact. The juiciest stuff we saw was rebroadcast footage from C-SPAN of the Salahi‘s appearance before a Congressional committee investigating their party crashing. Still, I watched the entire season and there ain’t no way I’m missing the reunion special. After the jump, check out 3 clips from the special in preparation of the coming reunion special …

Back in May of 2009, Bravo TV announced the initial development of The Real Housewives of Washington DC and today — over a year later — we get our first look at the newest batch of ladies to join the Real Housewives family. Here is our first look at the first promo photo of the DC Housewives cast along with the full text of the press release announcement:

The most talked about installment of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives” franchise is set to take on the Hill, premiering on Thursday, August 5 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Bravo’s “The Real Housewives” franchise presents a slice of life amongst affluent, educated women, some raising kids, some driving careers, all interacting with friends and family as determined by the unwritten social rules of the Beltway. With the franchise’s expansion to our nation’s capital, “The Real Housewives of D.C.” introduces five intriguing women whose relationships with each other, and with the city in which they live, are a compelling combination to explore the nexus of politics, society, and even race, as well as how the proximity to political power dictates where one fits within Beltway society. These connected D.C. power players all have their pulse on the most important cultural events, political galas, gallery openings, and fundraisers in Washington society. They are: Mary Schmidt Amons, the true Washingtonian and granddaughter of radio and TV personality Arthur Godfrey; the mother hen and owner of D.C.’s top modeling agency, Lynda Erkiletian; feisty Brit Catherine Ommanney, married to a White House photographer; model and founder of D.C.’s America’s Polo Cup, Michaele Salahi who became the focus of media attention following the White House state dinner last November; and Harvard grad, active political fund raiser, and philanthropist Stacie Scott Turner. For more information, click HERE. “The Real Housewives of D.C.” went into production shortly after the historic election and inauguration, reflecting D.C. almost as its own character in the series. “We wanted to dive into the Beltway subculture as it underwent an historic shift, one that previously has not been readily accessible or portrayed, and look at the political hierarchy and definitive social circles that make up D.C.’s unique society,” said Andy Cohen, Senior Vice President, Original Programming and Development, Bravo. “We knew this was going to expose a different social narrative from any of our other ‘Housewives’ series – provocative and engaging in a whole new way.” Bringing viewers inside the lives and homes of movers and shakers in the community, the D.C. housewives move comfortably from fundraisers and prominent events to discussing everything from issues about race to money and politics to relationships and high fashion.

Most of the cast of The Real Housewives of Washington DC aren’t particularly famous outside our nation’s capital … save for Michaele Salahi, who you may know as the tacky White House party crasher. Based on her behavior thus far, I can already tell that I’m not going to like her very much. The other ladies, tho, look very nice and will likely be great additions to the Real Housewives franchise. After the jump, check out individual promo photos of the the new cast and find out a little bit more about each of them …

After finding success in Orange County, New York City, Atlanta and New Jersey, Bravo TV has just announced today that the network in in development of a new Real Housewives series set in our Nation’s capital of Washington DC. There was some talk earlier this month that Bravo was lookin’ to expand the franchise to Beverly Hills, CA (and that still may happen) but they have officially announced today that The Real Housewives of Washington DC is the next project in development. Here is the full text of the just issued press release:

Today, Bravo announced that a spin-off of its hit docu-series franchise “The Real Housewives,” is in development, this time set in the influential metropolitan region of Washington, D.C. The announcement was made by Frances Berwick, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Bravo Media. “We’re tapping personalities who are among Washington D.C.’s influential players, cultural connoisseurs, fashion sophisticates and philanthropic leaders – the people who rub elbows with the most prominent people in the country and easily move in the city’s diverse political and social circles,” said Berwick. A place for power and politics, Bravo is scouting the D.C. area to identify the city’s alluring and discriminating residents, those women who have their pulse on the most important cultural events, political galas, gallery openings and fundraisers in Washington society. These leading members of D.C. society are in the know and comfortable discussing everything from the economy to high fashion. They are the talk of the town in the most powerful city in the world. Bravo has tapped Half Yard Productions to develop this project.

Oh man … you just know that DC wives know how to bring the drama. To be honest, it really doesn’t matter where they set the series as long as they find the right people to feature on the show. That said, the wives of politicians should be an interesting group of folks to watch … but really, how much drama can come from the wife of a currently elected official? Is that even smart for one’s political future? I hope Bravo doesn’t give up on the Beverly Hills idea … without having constituencies to worry about, those housewives are SURE to bring the drama. In regards to the current season set in New Jersey, I’m still warming up to the wives. I find it really weird that Bravo would cast housewives that are mostly related by family (and as we know, family is ‘as thick as thieves’). I am very much looking forward to the return to Atlanta … I’ve been missing my NeNe Leaks like crazy. But I digress. I’m down with the idea of DC Housewives, are you?
