As you may already know, Katie Rost, who was one of the original cast members of The Real Housewives of Potomac returned to the Bravo hit reality series for the show's fourth season. Funny enought, it was Gizelle Bryant who invited Rost to come back to the show to join the ladies' shady adventures this season.
So how to the Potomac ladies feel about Rost's return? "I was missing Katie, and I really just kind of wanted to know what was going on with her. I had seen her out off-camera, so I felt like it'd be great to just bring her back to the group and have her have some girlfriends that could really support her," Gizelle told Bravo's The Daily Dish earlier this season. "And Katie's a fun girl, like you never know what you're gonna get out of Katie."
Gizelle added she "was very happy" to welcome Katie back into the fold, although "not everybody was happy about it." But according to Gizelle, the Katie we're seeing in Season 4 is not the same Katie fans met in the very first season of RHOP. "She is by far crazier than Season 1, like bonafide," she said. "But she owns it. You know, Katie owns all of her nonsense, and she's OK with it."
Karen Huger is teasing the viewers to prepare themselves and "be surprised" by Katie this season. "Katie brings Katie," she told Bravo's The Daily Dish. "But she brings fun and drama, too. Katie brings it all. And she brings reality. And she's so fun."
Monique Samuels, who met Katie briefly at one of her charity events after she joined the reality show back in Season 2 admits she had a different "perception" about Rost when she really got to know her this season.
"I had one perception of her in my mind, and then when I actually met her, I was like, whoa! She's a totally different person of what I thought she would be, because I remember she was like the prim and proper, go to the balls, and all of that. So I'm thinking she's gonna be kind of like stuck up and saditty," Monique said. "And then when I met her, she's like super down-to-earth, very free-spirited. I was completely shocked. I was like, wow, she's a breath of fresh air. She'll tell it how it is. Whatever she's thinking, it's like word vomit, like it's gonna come out however it comes out, and she has no shame behind it."
As for Candiace Dillard Bassett, she was first introduced to Katie at the party for Ashley Darby's uncle. If you recall, after learning that Candiace had just gotten married a few days before the party, Katie told her, "I wish I'd met you five days ago, because I would have given you a warning: Don't do it." Katie later clarified that she "just meant marriage is tough, but it's great."
Candiace admitted that Rost's comment caught her off-guard but she admits she was quickly able to look past that once she got to know Katie. "She's very funny," Candiace told Bravo's The Daily Dish. "She's very dry humor, which is my kind of humor, so we got off to a good start, I think."
Candiace said it was also important for her to formulate her own opinion of Katie instead of basing it off some of the "crazy things" she heard from the other ladies. "With this group, you're always gonna get a little bit of a backstory. I choose not to take what they say because some of us are a little messy," Candiace explained. "But when I met her, I was like, 'OK, I can deal with her.'"
