The title of OG is a rarity these days on Bravo. An OG started from Season 1 and created an impact that essentially leveled up the show. Real Housewives of Atlanta lost NeNe Leakes. RHOA continued without her, but she was a formidable presence on the network for years. Real Housewives of Beverly Hills said

Celebrities- sometimes they are just like us. Sure they live in multi-million dollar homes and receive paychecks with seven figures for emoting in front of a camera. Their lives are filled with fast cars and exciting social occasions but they still watch reality television. It seems like there’s very little to have in common with
The Real Housewives franchise focuses on an ensemble group of (allegedly) wealthy women. Their lives are documented for our entertainment, but there’s more to life than a singular cast member. Sometimes viewers get a bonus family member who isn’t a part of the main cast. A relative who unofficially stands as a “friend of” character.
Fans of Vanderpump Rules are no stranger to manic outbursts and despicable situations. Some sects of society will binge-watch the early seasons of VPR to prepare for Thanksgiving dinner with their unsavory relatives. While the majority of breakdowns occur within a three-mile radius, sometimes the crew takes their show on the road so they can
With Scandoval dominating headlines everywhere, it’s hard not to side-eye your partner for buying a lightning bolt necklace. Bravo fans have been shell-shocked since news dropped that Tom Sandoval cheated on his Vanderpump Rules costar and partner of 9 years, Ariana Madix. With another castmate, no less. But this is hardly the first time we
Sometimes people with the most main character energy are not the stars of the show. You might call them antagonists because they have previously shown getting a kick out of causing drama. Whether it’s a drunk psychic or a polarizing former Real Housewife, certain people left their mark and will be forever remembered in the
Vanderpump Rules is in full crisis mode. No one had high expectations of Season 10 but the fallout from a nuclear explosion is sure to keep the media busy until the reunion airs. In a cast full of people with a love of themselves and a love of a camera, Tom SandEvil often appeared to
Seems rather niche, right? You might think most disagreements between Real Housewives go down surrounded by a table full of food. This comes in handy when you feel like launching the contents of a charcuterie board at someone’s face. But some of our best moments have come when the “ladies” are in transit. Sometimes they
Bravo was once not saturated by all things Real Housewives. On any given day there was a wide variety of programming that didn’t stem from acting a fool at the dinner table. We currently have 836 shows spawned from the successful franchise. Before everyone had a line of alcohol with their name on it, we had
Sometimes reality television doesn’t seem very real. A popular show will start out brand new and refreshing, then slowly turn into an over-produced, “loosely-scripted” soap opera. Then you find yourself losing the plot and wondering where all of the flying cheese is coming from. During the course of the Real Housewives shows, cameras have
Reality television is here to stay – from Real Housewives to any show involving a restaurant or boat. Viewers turn into voyeurs as we watch people who a network deems interesting enough to follow around with a camera crew, and enjoy their various escapades. The genre highlights both individuals and relationships and more often than
Sometimes the best thing about a Real Housewives episode comes courtesy of a “guest” and not a member of the core cast. Over the years fans have been subjected to a plethora of interesting characters with an abundance of personality that leaves us either curious or absolutely wanting more. Whether it’s flying directly into someone’s
Most of the Bravolebrities featured on our shows develop quite a high opinion of themselves due to overnight fame and a couple of new checks in their bank account. While they may not be revered thespians or artists trained at Julliard, they do reach a certain status thanks to appearing on reality television. It’s no
If it isn’t alcohol, it’s definitely going to be clothes because we all know toaster ovens won’t make the cut. It seems Real Housewives aren’t content with making bags of money while maintaining the mental intelligence of mean girls in high school. Nope, they want… A BRAND. So many things can fall under the “brand”
If you are a regular Bravo viewer, you are quite familiar with the role alcohol plays in any show you watch on the network. We’ve heard rumors production likes to ply an ensemble cast with a plethora of beverages that could cause a… change in personality. Watch any Real Housewives show during a dinner scene
In television, “jumping the shark” is defined as, a show or movie that reaches a stage when unbelievable occurrences are added for novelty’s sake, displaying a sign of a drop in quality. Sound familiar to anyone? Yep, there have been several times a story line from Real Housewives have not only jumped the shark–it caught
Have a kid they said, it will be great they said. Little morsels of goodness, so fresh and innocent, but not always. Most times when someone signs up for reality television, it is understood their family signs on as well. That includes rogue husbands, sometimes sketchy siblings, and most definitely “the children.” Over the years
Hair. It’s a business, a lifestyle, and a Broadway musical. Hair can be your best friend or your worst enemy – and we have seen some true enemies on Real Housewives. It might sound dramatic, but the right hairstyle can make you or break you. One wrong wig will never, EVER be forgotten. Now it’s
We all go a little off the beaten path every once in a while, but for most of us cameras are not documenting these unsavory moments. Fortunately, other people receive paychecks and d-list fame for allowing these unpleasant scenes to play out again, and again, and again. Southern Charm is the gift that keeps on
Sometimes the most memorable moments in Bravo history are courtesy of a person we might have only known for one season. Maybe a friend of the main cast or a one hit wonder, reality television has taught us you don’t have to be around for a long time to make a lasting impression. There are
There is nothing more irritating than finding a new show to love and getting invested in a fresh cast of fabulously interesting people. Then once you are nice and dedicated, yearning for more, Bravo yanks it from production. It happens whether we like it or not, and there are several shows with fans who continue
Everyone can relate to some kind of humiliating or embarrassing memory that creeps into your brain as you lie awake in bed at 3:15 am. That time you fell in front of a crowd of people. Or maybe when you walked into a spider web and began screaming and flailing around like you were on
A lot of times watching shows on Bravo is a comforting tactic that highlights someone acting much worse than yourself, anyone you know, or anyone you will meet in the future. To be honest, any episode of a given show is us watching someone about to make a huge mistake. Vanderpump Rules follows a cast
It’s now considered a treat when a Bravo show doesn’t revolve around throwing wine glasses across a table or the crew of a yacht isn’t making sure their blood alcohol content is straight vodka. Sometimes the network throws us a bone with a new series that features other cultures. Family Karma premiered in March of
Hot mic moments are the gift that keeps on giving. One might think if you are followed around by a team of cameras and have an unusual bulge in your clothing that transmits the words coming out of your mouth, you might be careful about what you say. Unfortunately sometimes reality television people get a
If you are an avid viewer of Bravo programs, you have already been initiated into the world of creating a brand. After someone becomes relatively famous with a fan base, obviously the next step is to market a product aimed at those who crave any connection with their favorite celebrity. The Real Housewives franchise has
There aren’t many Real Housewives who have been able to withstand the test of time. We have lost several OG’s along the way who were either let go due to attitude issues or they simply had their fill of reality television. Real Housewives of New Jersey star, Teresa Giudice is a legend and she has
Where are my real estate addicts? One thing the Real Housewives franchise gives us is fabulous homes. Sure we love the lavish vacations, enormous baubles, and fancy clothes, but where these people lay their heads at night has always been intriguing. Several of our favorite Housewives are home renters, which brings shame from co-stars or
We’ve all heard of the Housewives curse when it comes to marriages, but being unlucky in love certainly isn’t uncommon on Bravo shows across the board. But sometimes I wonder who will actually make it when it comes to being #couplegoals. It’s now time to speculate on what happy couple who found love on Bravo,
I understand that most of us aren’t watching reality television for musical inspiration. And it isn’t unfair to say that we aren’t exactly treated to Carnegie Hall levels of performance when it comes to Bravo Housewives or their gala affairs. What we can say is they are entertaining. Let’s reminisce on our some of the
