The "Real Housewives" franchise continues to expand across America, with this edition landing in Potomac, Md., a community of rolling hills and gated mansions just up the Potomac River from Washington, D.C. As is standard for the franchise, the reality show follows several well-to-do women who are part of the exclusive society. Women who have been featured include former Miss District of Columbia Pageant winner Ashley Darby, who became a stepmother to a 21-year-old and a 24-year old after getting married at the age of 22; Robyn Dixon, the ex-wife of former NBA player Juan Dixon; and philanthropist Gizelle Bryant, a single mother of three who raises money to help residents of impoverished cities.
