There are certain channels and shows that I consider to be constant political-free zones and
Bravo’s Real Housewives series is one of them. So you can imagine my surprise when during Tuesday night’s episode of the Miami edition, I spotted a familiar face—former Florida Governor Charlie Crist, but while the show was filming, Crist was the current Governor of the state. He and his wife Carole make a
quick on-camera appearance at a gala hosted by one of the housewives. After doing a little digging, turns out the former Florida Governor has more than one connection to the Bravo franchise. Over the summer, the then-Florida governor and senatorial candidate
stayed with New York Housewife Jill Zarin in the Hamptons meeting with environmentalists and campaigning.
