There was a moment when they thought shows like Top Chef and Project Runway (deep dives into the creative and culinary arts that wealthy New Yorkers watched) were their future, not so much the HW franchises. They wanted to attract luxury brands for $$$$ and product placement. Remember “Around the World in 80 Plates”? More of that sh!t... Top Chef still draws a high-median-income audience, which, even though its buzz and viewership have plummeted, makes it valuable for Bravo, especially with all the product integration.

Just started Potomac on Hulu. It’s funny: a former colleague who used to work at Bravo said there was a small contingent who were dismayed that RHOA became such a massive success because it muddied the upscale, worldly Bravo brand. (Yes, I thought it sounded racist, especially since they had no apparent issue with Jersey.) Potomac feels like the network’s attempt to do a course correction with an upscale, more “respectable” Af-Am franchise. Most of these women actually have pedigrees to back up their hoity-toity airs, in contrast to someone like Phaedra with her “Southern belle” nonsense. I know Gizelle isn’t popular here, but as rude and narcissistic as Gizelle is in these early episodes, I find her somewhat likable and a breath of fresh air in contrast to the tightly wound Karen and Charrisse. I guess I need to keep watching to see when things turn. Early Katie is ridiculous, both in an amusing and a grating way.
