I still miss Robyn Dixon on the Real Housewives of Potomac. Mainly because she was part of the Green Eyed Bandits duo. But I have plenty of faith Gizelle Bryant will learn to shine on her own without a friend standing next to her.
The history of Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon
The pair first met at a charity event but immediately hit it off. So when Bravo was looking for a group of friends for their new Potomac franchise, it made sense that Robyn and Gizelle would be cast. From the get-go, the double trouble twins were inseparable. The series premiere in 2016 showed them instantly taking one another’s sides in a fight with another cast member. One instance occurred when Robyn and Gizelle stormed Ashley Darby’s restaurant Oz. The purpose was to call out the beauty queen for spreading rumors about Juan Dixon.
Gizelle and Robyn were great at plotting together, and for years the dynamic worked. Sadly, Season 8 felt a bit boring with Robyn’s lack of storyline. Viewers had grown tired of watching her relationship with Juan play out. It always felt like Robyn was hiding something from the show, and finally, the network axed her. Even though the pair were a package, Gizelle was allowed to blossom again in Season 9, assuming she could keep her narrative on track.
Gizelle Bryant is in her single-gal era
Starring in Season 9 of the Real Housewives of Potomac without Robyn is a chance for the mother of three to turn the page. She no longer has to insert herself into Robyn’s messy home life. And she might be able to show a brand new side of her that fans have yet to meet. Recently, Bravo viewers saw Gizelle turn over a new leaf with Wendy Osefo. I know I held my breath, too! But the lunch went swimmingly between the two. For years, the two housewives have failed to see eye to eye, and it didn’t help that Gizelle once brought up rumors about Eddie Osefo cheating.
But now, without Robyn in her ear, I think Gizelle will judge Wendy for herself and maybe even become “besties.” As the sneak peek of the season showed, Wendy’s friendship with Karen Huger falters a bit, so it will be interesting to see Gizelle swoop in and help pick up the pieces. I like seeing the former preacher’s wife having to put herself out there and make friends. I believe it makes Gizelle more likable!
Gizelle Bryant’s storyline is perking up
The word on the street is that Gizelle is looking to hand over the spoon to some other pot-stirrer in the group. No longer will she constantly be putting herself in the middle. And we’ve seen evidence of this. After Karen noted that G had forgotten to invite her friend, Karine Jean-Pierre, to the Hattitude Party, Gizelle immediately said she would invite her to the G&A event. The Real Housewives of Potomac star noted in her confessional that she could see the Grand Dame was trying to throw shade, but she wasn’t going to play into it. Gizelle is looking to live her most “zen” life to date.
After the loss of her beloved father, Gizelle shared with fans that she now knows how precious time is. It was nice to see her put so much effort into the brain tumor event, as it showed a softer side of the fan favorite. So she doesn’t want to waste it on being petty. What will help G shine is the ability to focus on herself. As an OG, fans are invested in seeing Gizelle get her happy ending. It’s about time Gizelle focused on this new era of her Real Housewives career and proved why she still deserves a spot on the series.
RHOP needs Gizelle Bryant
Even though some viewers feel that Gizelle would spiral without her sidekick, she is shining bright like a diamond. And it looks like Gizelle has listened to the advice of viewers who often noted that holding grudges for so long isn’t good for reality TV. All followers wanted to see some form of reconciliation, not all-out bitterness. For a moment, it felt as if it could ruin the vibe of the entire group. In reality, Gizelle is an intricate part of the Real Housewives of Potomac. With Gizelle in the cast, it allows other OGs like Karen to volley off her.
Without Gizelle, the group wouldn’t work. At 61, Karen would have no real way of connecting with the younger women. Somehow, Gizzy is the landbridge that connects both age groups. I do not doubt that we need Gizelle to keep the cogs oiled and fully functioning. After two episodes, it is clear that G is ready to shine. All she needed was a little push and to be forced to make more friends.
Real Housewives of Potomac is streaming on Peacock.
