When Bravo introduced The Real Housewives of Potomac, audiences were excited about the possibility of seeing a reality franchise committed to generational wealth and high society. From wealthy philanthropic matrons Karen Hugerand Charisse Jackson to former beauty pageant queens Ashley Darby and Candiace Dillard-Bassett, to the socially elite former first lady Gizelle Bryant and basketball wife Robyn Dixon, Potomac's cast introduced an air of gentility and sophistication to the housewives franchise that didn't exist prior to the premiere. While the ladies in Atlanta were pulling wigs and the houswives of New Jersey were flipping tables, Potomac conflict consisted of discreet snubs and highbrow gossip. Instead of retaining their air of sophistication and social etiquette, Potomac was shamed by the all-too-common violent cat fights and immature drama that frequently drew criticism on the other housewives franchises. After careful casting and working to create a foundation akin to high society, the brawl between Candiace and Monique Samuels would reduce Potomac to the same trashy reputation as the other franchises, never to redeem its class or esteemed favor.
