Here's the meeting of the cast for the Real Housewives of Rhode Island, according to a journalist who is familiar with the culture and social dynamics of the state.
Meet the six women who are set to dish out drama, gossip, and secrets on the upcoming season of The Real Housewives of Rhode Island. From Newport mansions to Cranston pizzerias, these women know how to bring the heat in the smallest but boldest state in the US.
First up is Rosie DiMare, a former local news anchor who's not afraid to call out those she thinks are full of it. She's got a cheeky side and isn't afraid to gossip about her neighbors. Next we have Alicia Carmody, who says "Welcome to Rhode Island, b****, this is how we roll." This beauty owns Pizza Mamma with her fiancé Billy Kitsilis in Cranston.
We also meet Liz McGraw, Rhode Island royalty, often called the Cannabis Queen, according to Bravo. She's a dominant figurehead and an expert on all things cannabis-related. Then there's Ashley Iaconetti, who says she's "not from here." This former Bachelor in Paradise star is trying to navigate her new life in her husband Jared Haibon's Rhode Island home.
Other cast members include Jo-Ellen Tiberi, a self-proclaimed town gossip with a wealth of information on everyone and everything. Lastly we have Rulla Nehme Pontarelli, who says she's "a boss." This Certified Financial Planner is the head of Royal One Financial Group in downtown Providence.
The new season promises classic Housewives drama and juicy gossip, so grab your coffee milk and get ready for some Rhode Island realness.

like it was 2011 and we were all obsessing over the Jersey Shore cast... remember when Teresa Giudice would always throw shade? 
I guess it's nice to see some new ladies joining the fray in Rhode Island, but I'm not sure if they'll be able to bring the same level of heat as some of those OG housewives. Alicia Carmody's intro is giving me major NeNe Leakes energy though 
and can we talk about how Liz McGraw being called the Cannabis Queen sounds like something that would've happened in a Housewives episode back in the day? 
anyway, I'm intrigued by Ashley Iaconetti's storyline - she's been through some drama on Bachelor Nation before... fingers crossed she brings some of that same excitement to the show 
. Anyway, I'll be watching... just to see how much trash talk these ladies can dish out 
! The cast looks interesting, like Rosie DiMare's got a bit of an edge to her 
. I'm intrigued by Alicia Carmody's sassiness, she sounds like she's gonna bring the heat 
. Can't wait to see how Ashley Iaconetti navigates her new life in RI 
. The fact that Jo-Ellen Tiberi is a self-proclaimed town gossip is just too funny 
. I mean, who wouldn't wanna live in a state with its own 'cannabis queen' Liz McGraw? sounds like she's got some serious skills in the dispensary department 
. And Ashley Iaconetti trying to navigate her new life in Rhode Island? bless her heart, I hope she brings some of that Bachelor drama to the table 
. can't wait for this season to drop and get my coffee milk ready 
also who is pizza mamma? is it like a famous pizzeria or something? 
And can't wait to see Rosie DiMare "calling out" those she thinks are full of it - sounds like someone's got their finger on the pulse (or maybe just yelling at her neighbors for lawn care).

According to Bravo, the average age is around 47.1, and most of them have been married for at least 10 years. 
That's pretty impressive if you ask me!
Ashley Iaconetti's not exactly a millionaire yet, but she's working on it.
. I love that Rosie is not afraid to speak her mind, and Alicia's attitude is so on point 
. But what I'm most curious about is how they'll handle the drama that comes with living in such a tight-knit community 
. With Liz being the Cannabis Queen, I'm guessing we'll get some interesting conversations about that industry 
, a beauty queen of cannabis 
Can't wait for the Newport mansions and Cranston pizzerias to make some magic happen 
! And I've gotta admit, I'm curious about Liz McGraw's cannabis connections... is this a whole thing?
