The Real World D.C.‘s first airdate, December 30, is close at hand—and here’s hoping RWDC has plenty of glam shots of Georgetown, because for now, it looks like that’s it for Georgetown reality show junkies looking to get their fill of “Hey, I’ve been there!” moments.

Blonde Charity Mafia, a reality show about the Late Night Shots crowd (the Georgetown-centric private social network for aspiring/alcoholic future-trophy wives and young Republicans, as Vox‘s Juliana Brint so aptly put it) appears to have gotten the ax from its network, the CW.

The Washington Post reports that the show has been removed from the CW’s website, pulled a Facebook fan page, and that its actors have been told that they are “free to search for other TV project options.” Ouch.

All this, after the show’s original airdate was already pushed back from this summer.

Reliable Source has the deets the what we’re missing out on—like “Made-for-TV” parties that the producers organized when real party hosts didn’t want to let camera crews into their homes. At one such “Welcome to Washington!” fête, one of the four starlets supposedly meets a Congressman who gave her a job. I’ll bet!

Editor’s Note: Monday Madlibs will now be running once every other week.

The premiere of Blonde Charity Mafia, the Georgetown-centric reality show about the Late Night Shots crew, may have been pushed back to the fall, but that didn’t stop the Georgetowner from writing a cover story about it! The result is something of a trainwreck, complete with clunky plugs for the show and littered with Georgetown name-dropping. See if you can improve it a bit, madlibs style!

Oh, Blonde Charity Mafia, what will our summer be without you?

With all the talk about the “Real World” filming in Dupont and the “Real Housewives” series coming to D.C., you may have forgotten about the original D.C.-based reality series, “Blonde Charity Mafia.”  The show, which is supposed to be “The Hills” but focused on Late Night Shots (the Georgetown-centric private social network for aspiring/alcoholic future-trophy wives and young Republicans) members, was scheduled to run as a six-week series on the CW, starting July 7.

But word came yesterday that the premiere has been pushed back to a “later, unspecified date.” Yikes. Is that TV lingo for “No, you’re never going to get to see all the dramz at Smith Point”?

Well, maybe not, according to the Washington Post‘s Lisa De Moraes:

Word is Dawn Ostroff, CW programming chief, liked the six half-hours that have been ordered and knew that, in a summer run, the network could not really give the show the kind of marketing and support it merited.

So, instead of debuting July 7, as planned, “Blonde Charity Mafia” — or “BCM,” as it’s called in the halls of CW — is going to be held to run some time during the official broadcast TV season. It’s being held for “midseason,” which means any time after the start of the season, in mid-September.

Yes, that’s right, “BCM” just got a promotion — before it’s even aired.

Guess we’ll just have to wait a little longer to watch all those deep conversations at Dean & Deluca…
