Think The Real Housewives of Potomac would be different from Bravo's other Real Housewives shows? Well, you're wrong. And you're right.

In the series premiere of The Real Housewives of Potomac, viewers got the requisite introductions to the ladies—Karen Huger, Charrisse Jackson Jordan, Katie Rost, Gizelle Bryant and Ashley Darby—and their personalities. The real fun started when the squabbles started over crabs and birthday seats. Word of advice if you're going to Potomac: know your etiquette. They are obsessed with etiquette. Leg throwing and fake illnesses won't be tolerated here.

Lessons learned in the premiere:

1. Don't send your hairstylist "sidekick" up the stairs at Charrisse's house to help her with her hair. But also, Charrisse, shouldn't you be ready when your guests arrive?

2. Don't sit smack in the middle of the dinner table when it's Karen's birthday. Even if Karen is pretty late.

3. Know your f—king Potomac etiquette! We lost count regarding the amount of times somebody said that word, so let's just say it was 92 times.

The best lines of the night:

"I actually like her, but she's irritating."

"Karen you don't have to school me on etiquette, I didn't come from the cabbage patch."

"People come for me all the time. They just don't find me." Real talk: Karen, how is this not your tagline?!
