Ranking the Housewives

With the premiere of  The Real Housewives of New Jersey last night CAhusband had the nerve to ask,  "Do you really like those shows?" 

I obviously answered, "yes."  I have loved almost all of the seasons. 

Yes, they're ridiculous.  Does that deter me?  Obviously not.   

Anyway, when CAhusband asked me about liking the housewives I tried to rank them in my head.  It took some thinking, but here they are...

Please note, I left out the Real Housewives of Atlanta.  I've only watched half of one episode, and absolutely cannot tolerate it.  It (and all of the other seasons that have been canceled) have been left out of my list. 


1. Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
The first season of RHBH was wonderful!  I absolutely loved every episode and was so sad to see it end.  I can't wait for a second season.  Lisa and Kyle are my two all-time favorite housewives.

2. Real Housewives of New Jersey
They are the most ridiculous and have the nastiest behavior of the housewives, but oh the drama... it's addicting.  I can't wait to see how this season unfolds with the absence of Danielle and the addition of two new housewives.  After last night's brawl at a baby christening, I don't think it will lack any drama.


3. Real Housewives of New York City
RHNYC was my favorite until this most recent season, and before RHBH. 
I don't enjoy the RHNYC nearly as much without Bethenny there, but they still keep me entertained. 
Ramona's crazy cracks me up, but I really dislike LuAnn and Kelly. 

4. Real Housewives of Orange County
I've never been a huge fan of RHOC for some reason.  I didn't even watch the first few seasons, but am enjoying this one so far.  I can't stand Gretchen or Tamara, but the drama keeps me tuned in. 

Did you watch the RHNJ premiere last night? 

Which season of the Real Housewives if your favorite?

Duude what the heck is wrong with Teresa's family?? Last night's episode was MESSED UP!

I love love the original OC Housewives the best.... but I'd say my favorite now is Beverly Hills. And I was obsessed with Kyle until she became nasty at the end of the season. Now I just love me some Lisa.

Great post! My husband gets so mad at me for watching these shows, but they are my guilty pleasure. I love Real Housewives of BH the best too!! Also hate Gretchen, she is like nails on a chalkboard to me!! I dvred the New Jersey premiere and I can't wait to watch it this afternoon!

I completely agree with your ranking, and I did watch NY last night. EGADS! So horrible. I loved every minute :-o

Beverly Hills is my favorite but I also loved Miami. Everyone on NY irritates me. Now I just watch Bethenney. She was always my favorite anyways.

My ranking:
Beverly Hills
Miami and Orange County are tied
New Jersey
New York

I'm not sure I can rank them! I loved season 1 of NJ, but HATED last season - way too much drama. But I'm very excited for this new season. Love BH and I like OC for different reasons (completely lunacy). I've never liked NY until this season (but always watched!). Miami, DC, and Atlanta do nothing for me.

My favorite housewives are definitely the RH of Beverly Hills ! There's just enough drama and bling - the others kind of irritate me, the drama is a little too intense for my taste ! But I have to say I liked the RH of DC, I thought it had potential ;) Has Miami started yet ? (I'm so clueless, but hey I live in France and the RH series doesn't even exists here !)

We don't have cable, so I only watch them at the gym, and I'll admit, I often plan my workouts around reruns so I can stay caught up! I love them!!

NYC was my fav till Bethenny left. I still love Ramona and her crazy. I HATE Sonja though.

I do love the Real Housewives - but since we cancelled our cable I only get to watch when I catch episodes at my in-laws place (when we dog/house sit for them).

Claudia said...

I just posted about RHONJ earlier today... I kinda forgot about DC they were so blah
Miami was OK as is Atlanta, NY has never been interesting enough for me... OC and BH are ridiculous and therefore, I watch!

Molly said...

RH franchise is out of control! I don't watch Atlanta either, just doesn't do it for me. Bev Hills is my favorite, and after NJ's premiere this week, they've eclipsed NY and OC. Can't wait to see what the rest of the season brings!

LOVING your blog:)

I am such a RHW fan! NJ is DRAMA but you gotta love it! RHOOC is actually my favorite with RHWOBH following behind closely! When Bethenny left RHONY, it went to the bottom of my list... But her show is GREAT! Atlanta and Miami were a bust!!

Ok, I will quit rambling and get back to work!!

Enjoying your blog! :)
