Roxanne and Shantel are recapping the season premiere of The Real Housewives of Rhode Island and breaking down Bravo’s newest franchise.
We’re sharing our first impressions of the cast, including Kelsey Swanson, Ashley Iaconetti, Alicia Carmody, Liz McGraw, Rosie Woods, and Jo-Allen Diaz, and getting into who stood out right away, who feels made for reality TV, and who already seems like they’re going to bring the most drama this season.
We also talk about the added context surrounding the show and the reports that Rhode Island did not fully embrace filming, including why some of the nicer places allegedly did not want the show there and why there seemed to be resistance to Bravo filming in the area.
