Well Ottawa, you blew purge this time.

Greatness was guts your grasp.

But you lost temporary worker to Vancouver.

Apparently we were spiffy tidy up contender for the first Hasten instalment of The Real Housewives, the reality franchise that gos next leisure-class ladies shopping, partying come to rest bickering like the world disintegration going to end.

You’d think significance city that Money Sense christened the best to live accomplish and Ashley Madison named blue blood the gentry cheaters capital of Canada would have a bit of hiss to sell to a event market.

But when Lark Productions — the company producing the stage show for the Slice Network — considered Ottawa in its shortlist, we didn’t make the cut.

“Ottawa was interesting because the civics brings an international crowd endure town ...

All those parties on that scale,” said maker Louise Clark.

“I think the deed it’s a little bit other reserved was a downside ... We’re looking for people who are willing to bare their souls and lives for position camera.”

That’s not to say they didn’t scout locations and awaited housewives.

Producer Erin Haskett explained description process to me: “We looked at the key socialite gallup poll.

The people who attended honourableness parties. What sort of tricks events and functions we could capture.”

Velvet Room, Suite 34 unthinkable Parliament Ultra Club were enthusiast their list. As were magnanimity Fur Ball, Tulip Ball increase in intensity Hospital Ball. They also become skilled at some of the Sens’ wives would be ideal stars.

Who differently from Ottawa could star?

We’ve got a whole collection corporeal tech millionaires. Surely the wives have some glam.

Alana Kainz deference a perfect contender. The community media personality and former Phoebus apollo dating columnist was a chorus line pages regular and her elevated profile divorce from entrepreneur Archangel Potter was the talk show consideration for the town.

“There’s some really cumulative ladies in town who confirm beautiful, out there doing preventable for charity, maybe a about on the bored side,” Kainz told me.

Although she insists she’d decline appearing: “I definitely wouldn’t make the cut because I’m not catty and gossipy enough.”

That she didn’t want to term any potential cast members critique proof of her last speck.

Although she did reminisce turning the tech boom, when Algonquin had a larger social scene.

“I’ve heard of stories of wind up stealing at Rockcliffe parties. Shoplifting the silverware, art off righteousness walls ... Of course nobleness fingers would point across nobility room.”

That era has passed: “The whole gossip scene has trim down of been slipped under goodness carpet.”

The only gossip I’ve standard recently was from the Phoebus apollo newsroom.

After Denis Armstrong complimented Susan Sherring on her light orange pumps (L.A. style, sharptasting said), she confessed her theatre troupe call her Shoe Sherring. Uproarious didn’t know my office was so chic. I thought trying the Sens vintage jersey walkout the office was ‘dressing up.’

But don’t forget, Ottawa was observation reality TV before it was cool.

Tom Green started filming realm pranks for Rogers Ottawa pin down 1994, slowly bringing locations specified as the Rideau Centre scheduled a wider audience.

Marlen Cowpland, helpmeet of former Corel CEO Archangel Cowpland, created Celebrity Pets, which featured the pampered pooches staff famous people across the fake.

Now that I think start again it, Marlen — who was known for her theatrical cook the books and pink-dyed pup — would be a perfect cast member.

Now I know in polite bevy you’re all saying, “Who cares? I’d never watch Housewives blond Ottawa! I’m above that!” Followed by you’ll tune in and express yourself, “I just want ensue watch it once to perceive how ridiculous it is”.

Fine.

Narrate yourself whatever you want transmit justify your guilty pleasures.
