The Real Housewives of Potomac Recap: Woe is Mia

I am a person who loves an agenda, plan, or template – something that gives a clear picture of where we are at present, where we need to go, and our plan to get there. Give me a goal and a map to study, and then we can work spontaneity into our journey toward that goal. It’s a big part of what resonates for me about reality TV: while the show is technically unscripted, there is a formula to the storytelling, and the magic is found in the organic moments in between those coordinated points.
