"is dead, long live RHORI. Bravo released the trailer for the inaugural season of The Real Housewives of Rhode Island at BravoCon, and there's one beloved Jersey queen crossing state lines. According to the press release Dolores Catania has "longed to return" to Rhode Island ever since the state captured her heart. Thankfully, now that there are cameras there, Catania has managed to traverse the seemingly insurmountable distance between Jersey and RI - approximately 230 miles."
"So who is joining Dolores in the far-off wilds of Providence? The trailer broke down a lot of the new cast members. There's Liz McGraw, the Cannabis Queen of Rhode Island. Apparently she's HBIC of RI. "I'm scary," she says in a talking head "Boo." We also meet Jo-Ellen Tiberi, who is described as the "FBI agent" of the group, with investigative skills that rival Kristen Doute's. Alicia Carmody has the real Rhode Island accent, which people may only be familiar with through Family Guy."
