The next Real Housewives is… Rhode Island? Before you say “huh” and “why?”, grab a regular coffee from Dunks and take a look at the cast and first trailer for the latest addition to the Bravo series franchise.
Speaking as someone who was born in Rhode Island, this show is probably going to shock the average viewer. Granted, I grew up on the other side of Rhode Island, as ridiculous as that might sound for a state so small, and I am neither rich nor Italian. I do and I don’t know people like this, you know? But I grew up drinking from the bubbler (read: bubbla) when I was wicked thirsty like anyone else. I obviously do know Del’s Lemonade, the official state drink runner-up that partnered with Narragansett Beer (also a RI staple) for a canned shandy you can spy briefly in the trailer. I can also attest to the accuracy of the accents, which sound exactly what a place between NY/NJ and Boston should sound like.
