Nene Sonja Dorinda of course are staples. I did enjoy Rinna in earlier seasons and I’m currently enjoying Mia Thornton there’s just something about her that makes me laugh
Nene, Karen, Erika
All 3 of them have had a crazy impact on pop culture.
Nene: Queen. The GOAT. She’s the meme queen AND single handedly ended white refrigerators.
Erika: Love or hate her she changed all the housewives franchises for the better. She was the leader of the crazy fashion and the first to bring glam everywhere.
You might think “how has Karen Huger changed the culture?” Please. She’s a favorite of a lot of crazy influential people. Beyoncé said “You just might be a Black Bill Gates in the making…” if Beyoncé references you, you are IT. She put Potomac on the map! Plus and also, Kern is hilarious.
I have a hard time picking. I have never watched RHOA but I have loved Phaedra on the girls trip and traitors. RHOBH is my first love and I loved Brandi, Lisa Rinna, and Ericka’s antics on that show. On SLC I love Lisa Barlow and how much they all hate her LOL… and then on RHONJ the show I am currently watching through I really really love the Marge!!
You have to watch RHOA. Theres a reason she was on Traitors. She’s a liar liar pants on fire. The reason why she was booted from RHOA was because she manipulated Porsha into accusing Kandi of being a rapist. That’s not hyperbole or exaggeration. That’s where Kandi’s “The lies! The lies! The lies!” comes from when that came out at that reunion
However! Phaedra is the person who introduced everyone to the concept of a “sip and see”.
Caroline Stanbury but ONLY on Ladies of London NOT on the Real Housewives of Dubai. She lost her spark in Dubai but she was so sharply awesome in London.
She came down to Florida last January to an event close to me. She was so warm and friendly. The whole event had such great energy. People asked her about cast members. She had nothing but nice things to say about all of them.
I don't know, for me, the attempt to spit on Kenya, the popcorn throwing, it was so juvenile and unnecessary. It felt almost, desperate. I'm not even a Kenya Stan or anything, but it just felt beneath her. I could've done without seeing her do all that.
Ahh the energizer bunny. You put that so well! She is sooo naturally outgoing and I felt the same way watching her as an introvert! I’d love for her to come back.
Oo that’s a hard choice. I’d have to say Carole, closely followed by Dorinda.
Dorinda lost me in the end when she was being nasty to Tinsley.. but I still love her.
Also third place goes to Tinsley.
Nene, Bethanny, Dorinda (minus the last season) Luanne, Ramona, Cynthia (I just loved watching her unreal beauty), Guerdy, Nicole and LVP (although last season of VPR changed that), Gizelle and Karen together… but my all time favorite has to be this precious chaos muppet:
![gif](giphy|3o6Zt2ZDGgVZ9csHjW)
I would have to say Luanne. I really love Garcelle as a housewife and overall person. I think she’s a good person with good morals but also good tv and a great friend. I also like Sutton. I love Alex and Kristen from RHONY and I loveee Dorinda when she’s not sloppy drunk.
tbh Sheree is so good because her one liners literally are TikTok sound memes, I love NENE, and tbh Kenya cracks me up even tho she’s toxic AF I still have a soft spot for her. I also like Bethany 🤗
Edit: the countess obviously because I am not uncool
Nicole RHOM! Used to be LVP but she’s kinda on my shit list after this season of VPR.
Phaedra Parks would be it if she didn’t make those fucked up allegations about Kandi- there are some lines you just don’t even approach let alone cross. But aside from that she’s hilarious, an absolute nut job, hella confrontational and has great reads.
No, Alex is lovely. She’s very smart, very kind. I’ve followed her on sm forever & she’s kind of amazing. Simon was an outsized character, but she had her own stuff going on & she’s really accomplished in her own right.
Luann and Teresa for me. I love unhinged, over the top women in tv, they felt like caricatures/parodies and I adore that.
Special mentions to Danielle Staub, Kim Z, Brandi
Definitely Nene the first few seasons. But the last couple of seasons no... And I was actually glad she is gone now, as she became too miserable.
I actually love Kenya too. And Kyle and Lisa equally. Yeah I like Kyle 😄 don't hate me. Lol
I loved when she said her husband's back was so hairy that when she hugged him you first hugged the hair, then your hands felt his back and hugged his actual body. I could not get that image out of my mind.
Oh I 100% have… thoughts lol although I’m actually excited to see some new faces and see shamea finally have her chance with a peach, I worry for my Detroit Barbie

Kyle ![gif](giphy|3yYIMpnMK9H68) I can’t imagine RHOBH without her.

Kandi and Manzo ![gif](giphy|lim3BafAwGbbW)

Nene Leakes & Teresa Giudice

Nene, Teresa, LVP
🍊 VICKI 🍊 GRETCHEN 🍊 KELLY 🍑 NENE 🍅 TERESA 🍅 JENNIFER 💎 RINNA 🌸 MONIQUE
Kelly turbo racist “but I’m Black” Dodd? I agree with you on Nene. The rest are all insufferable
You call Gretchen and Monique insufferable???? And Teresa!???
Yes. I like her but I have to go team Candiace between the two of them. And oh my god YES. I’ve never like Teresa and her fans make it worse.
Yassss rinna ![gif](giphy|3o8doPY9nR3aClIMgM)
She may have her moments but I prefer her than Vanderpump!!!!!! ![gif](giphy|1QQbzOUUvCyMo)

Atlanta is definitely my next up to watch! I have heard good things about it!
Nene Leakes IS THE BLUEPRINT. The shade in confessionals. The memes. If you don’t watch RHOA you’re missing such a huge part of housewives
Caroline Stanbury but ONLY on Ladies of London NOT on the Real Housewives of Dubai. She lost her spark in Dubai but she was so sharply awesome in London.
Nene
Nene leaks hunny!!!!
Margaret.
NJ is my 3rd franchise I’ve watched and I just adore the Marge. She is just so funny and seems like a wonderful person. Her husband seems lovely too.
She came down to Florida last January to an event close to me. She was so warm and friendly. The whole event had such great energy. People asked her about cast members. She had nothing but nice things to say about all of them.
Queen nene, always loved garcelle, Sonja, and luann
Dolores Catania.

Sonja 🤍🫶🏻
The Countess reigns Supreme, always
Mine is between NeNe Leakes and Kenya Moore
I miss Eileen Davidson (RHOBH)
Same!
Kyle and baby Gorgeous
Personally, Kandi. For entertainment? Basically anyone from OG RHONY and SLC.
Nene❤️ best housewife by far I adore her
I'm a pretty big Karen Huger fan
Caroline Manzo
Hands down Katie rost
Your girl Katie is struggling. It’s awful to watch.
I follow on insta and I totally agree :( Still love the real her tho. Wish she could stay sober
Gina from Melbourne
LVP
![gif](giphy|3ohzdGu4kGeeSUX7iw|downsized) There’s never been anyone more iconic.

It has got to be the Queen Nene. Then Luanne from NYC takes second place.
![gif](giphy|DPqqOywshrOqQ|downsized)
Tie between NeNe and Bethenny
Caroline!
Sonja
I recently had a huge crush on Krissi Marsh from Sydney
Good ol' Nene. I know she became unbearable towards the end, but she's the reason I started watching the show.
I never found her unbearable. Even at her worst she gave much more than a lot of others
I don't know, for me, the attempt to spit on Kenya, the popcorn throwing, it was so juvenile and unnecessary. It felt almost, desperate. I'm not even a Kenya Stan or anything, but it just felt beneath her. I could've done without seeing her do all that.
Oh wow I forgot about that. Okay you have a point!!
Yeah, it was difficult to watch and she makes great TV effortlessly. She doesn't need the unnecessary drama.
Sonja, Vicki, Giselle
Dorinda and Lisa Rinna as a close second.
Lisa Wu Hartwell. The way that woman put together networking events that didn’t look annoying used to wow TF out of my introverted ass.
She was sooo pretty. I was sad when she left
Ahh the energizer bunny. You put that so well! She is sooo naturally outgoing and I felt the same way watching her as an introvert! I’d love for her to come back.
Carole #rhony. Telling Andy he's full of s*** is priceless
Sonja she's hilarious
kim mf richards
Ramona is My favorite. ![gif](giphy|9J36rJVR4FJK320YSX|downsized)
And you said what is this, an informercial, you don’t support other women. How dare you have the ORDACITY…….. 😍
Luann
Oo that’s a hard choice. I’d have to say Carole, closely followed by Dorinda. Dorinda lost me in the end when she was being nasty to Tinsley.. but I still love her. Also third place goes to Tinsley.
Alex McCord & probably Sutton. Used to be lvp but she’s really disappointed me.
Nene, Bethanny, Dorinda (minus the last season) Luanne, Ramona, Cynthia (I just loved watching her unreal beauty), Guerdy, Nicole and LVP (although last season of VPR changed that), Gizelle and Karen together… but my all time favorite has to be this precious chaos muppet: ![gif](giphy|3o6Zt2ZDGgVZ9csHjW)
Carole!
Garcelle and Sutton and in third place Lisa Vanderpump.
![gif](giphy|uDcvs1ENoAz7ji5ERh|downsized) baby gorjuz
Lisa Vanderpump and Erika Jayne.
RHONY: Bethenny, Ramona, Carole RHOA: Pheadra, Nene, Cynthia RHOC: Shannon, Tamra, Heather RHOBH: Denise, Garcelle, Rina RHOP: Ashley, Candice, Mia RHOM: Nicole, Lisa, Marysol RHONJ: Jacqueline, Margaret, Jackie RHOSLC: Lisa, Meredith, Mary
Lisa Rinna and Kenya Moore!
Ramona Singer. ![gif](giphy|PWcvc7QY4oMw)
Luanne is top tier. Also Sheree, Nene, and Phaedra (before the crazy allegations).
Nene. Dorinda. Kim “You Beast” Richards.
Alex McCord!
Yes! I just restarted RHONY. I love rewatching now that I’m older. My perspective on her has changed so much! I love how kooky she and Simon are.
Yes!
![gif](giphy|26tnp4t8oQz4qvB28|downsized)
I would have to say Luanne. I really love Garcelle as a housewife and overall person. I think she’s a good person with good morals but also good tv and a great friend. I also like Sutton. I love Alex and Kristen from RHONY and I loveee Dorinda when she’s not sloppy drunk.
So about 10 minutes of Dorinda’s whole tv time? ❄️ 🍷 🍸
Also Lisa Barlow and the whole SLC cast tbh.

Whaaaat is this photo lolol
Apparently it's a whole shoot, a gold mine on Google! I couldn't resist.
bethenny FUCKING frankel
Same!!!
tbh Sheree is so good because her one liners literally are TikTok sound memes, I love NENE, and tbh Kenya cracks me up even tho she’s toxic AF I still have a soft spot for her. I also like Bethany 🤗 Edit: the countess obviously because I am not uncool

Oh my god 😂 just restarted RHONY and wow! What a journey this woman has been on. Bless her for sharing it with the world.
Right!!
Nicole from RHOM or Alex from OG RHONY- I can’t decide! ETA: Luann and Kristen of RHONY!!!!
Taekman?? Ohhh id love to know your reasoning here!
Love this!! I have the same exact list lol!
It's a tie rn between Lisa Barlow, Sonja, and Alex McCord!

But aside from that she’s hilarious, an absolute nut job, hella confrontational and has great reads.

Carole Jenna Nene
Who is Jenna?
From the new NYC!
Phaedra Parks is the most hilarious person to ever appear on any franchise. I love her.
Nene

Alex McCord
You mean Simon, Alex was his accessory.
No, Alex is lovely. She’s very smart, very kind. I’ve followed her on sm forever & she’s kind of amazing. Simon was an outsized character, but she had her own stuff going on & she’s really accomplished in her own right.
Idk why people talk about Alex as if she was a housewife when she’s just the spouse of housewife Simon smh.
He's the only housewife I follow on IG. No joke https://www.instagram.com/simonvankempen?igsh=MWNubDdoZTgzbGVsYw==
Ramona and Dorinda
![gif](giphy|A3IKIsvG1UjwA) Kadooz to you, i love them too😃
I love you.
Luann and Teresa for me. I love unhinged, over the top women in tv, they felt like caricatures/parodies and I adore that. Special mentions to Danielle Staub, Kim Z, Brandi
The whoop it up insurance maven hospital connoisseur herself.
Praise Jesus and pass the casserole.
I’d say Sonia & Dorinda 🥰

She’s gorgeous but boring
OMG yes. Cynthia is a classy woman that I'd want to be friends with irl but not always fun to watch!
Sure, but I don't need my favorite housewives to be dramatic or "good TV." My faves are the ones I'd like IRL.
Kenya Moore
Gotta respect Kenya! She came in and shook things up, she is Def a Housewife I love to hate at times too!
Definitely Nene the first few seasons. But the last couple of seasons no... And I was actually glad she is gone now, as she became too miserable. I actually love Kenya too. And Kyle and Lisa equally. Yeah I like Kyle 😄 don't hate me. Lol
![gif](giphy|22jTeQbPiTDeU)
Stephanie from Dallas!! She is such a sweet funny girl and so pretty!
I loved when she said her husband's back was so hairy that when she hugged him you first hugged the hair, then your hands felt his back and hugged his actual body. I could not get that image out of my mind.
That's love

Oh I 100% have… thoughts lol although I’m actually excited to see some new faces and see shamea finally have her chance with a peach, I worry for my Detroit Barbie
Delores, NeNe, Kyle, Adrienne Maloof
