114. Julia Lemigova, The Real Housewives of Miami
The first LGBT Housewife ever cast on a Housewives series, Julia is truly fascinating. From being married to tennis legend Martina Navratilova and raising dozens of animals on a Miami farm, to her epic Hamptons hangover, Julia has everything a good Housewife needs. She also didn't shy away from opening up about the death of her baby son, pulling on our heartstrings and making us feel even closer to her. We love us some Julia.
113. Stacey Rusch, The Real Housewives of Potomac
The bright-eyed former QVC host brought spunk and a lovable naivete when she joined season nine, but her "boyfriend" TJ Jones quickly pulled focus from the star for all the wrong reasons.
His scenes were often cringe beyond belief and rumors she "hired" him to play her love interest certainly didn't earn Stacey any points with fans (and didn't earn TJ any points as an actor since their chemistry was non-existent). However, we have hope she can redeem herself next season.
112: Bronwyn Newport, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City
Bronwyn had a truly stellar first season when she joined season five of RHOSLC.
A closet filled with the most over-the-top designer clothes? Check. A willingness to challenge series O.G.'s Lisa Barlow and Heather Gay when pushed over the edge? Check.
But drama and opulent lifestyle aside, Bronwyn really pulled at our heart strings when she opened up about being shunned from the Mormon Church as a pregnant teenager. Plus, she shared the traumatic story of how she and daughter Gwen were abandoned by Gwen's father before her birth.
We can't wait to see Bronwyn back next season.
111: Bozoma Saint John, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
The former CEO has a stellar first season when she joined RHOBH for season 14. Though new to the drama, Boz fit into the group seemlessly, and more senior Housewives even sought out Boz's advice when it came to quarrels (looking at you, Kyle Richards).
Plus, her immediate friendship with Dorit Kemsley was a sisterhood that felt real and right. We can't wait for Boz to return next season.
110. Jennifer Pedranti, The Real Housewives of Orange County
The season 17 newbie made a stellar first impression during her inaugural season. She never shied away from discussing her scandalous relationship with boyfriend Ryan Boyajian - especially when Tamra Judge wouldn't stop attcking her over it. But despite Tamra's aggressive hounding over the affair, Jenn kept her cool and never gave her former BFF the reaction she wanted. We see many more season's in Jenn's future.
109. Nicole Martin, The Real Housewives of Miami
All three season four newbies on RHOM are basically tied in our book, so we placed them all together. Dr. Nicole was smart and feisty and not afraid to go head-to-head with Miami O.G.s Larsa Pippen or Marysol Patton. We'd love to see her bring even more fire if/when Peacock returns with season five.
105-108. Ubah Hassan, Sai De Silva, Erin Lichy & Brynn Whitfield - The Real Housewives of New York City
In no particular order. The revamped RHONY cast definitely needs some more time to figure out the Housewives game and improve their chemistry, even after two mediocre seasons.
104. Guerdy Abraira, The Real Housewives of Miami
Party planner Guerdy was a hurricane of energy and shined bright on season four. Plus, she's fierce as hell. We're betting on her return for a sophomore season.
103. Shamea Morton Mwangi, The Real Housewives of Atlanta
Shamea was no stranger to Bravo audiences having appeared as a friend of Porsha Williams prior to her arrival as a full-time Housewife in season 16. But we had no idea just how much star power she really had until her 2025 addition.
From getting candid about her daughter's health scares, her friendship-ending drama with Porsha and having more money than we could spend in a lifetime, Shamea was born to be a Housewife and showed the other ladies how it's really done in the ATL.
We have a feeling she'll be on our TV screens for a very long time to come. And rightly so.
102. Lisa Hochstein, RHOM
Lisa's struggle with fertility was an emotional watch, but that was about all there was of note during her time on Miami.
101. Caroline Stanbury, The Real Housewives of Dubai
Caroline was undoubtedly the star during her three season's on Bravo's Ladies of London, but something didn't exactly translate when she made the transition to Housewife. Does she live a life of extreme wealth and glamour? Yes. Is she still witty and quick with a sharp comeback? Yes. Did she have a fabulous wedding with her hunky, much younger husband? Yes. But she didn't seem to get along well with most of her RHODubai co-stars. Hopefully season two will allow her to form deeper relationships with the other ladies.
100. Teddi Mellencamp, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
The accountability coach had a rough first season, but when she returned she took on a big a role in the Puppygate situation with Lisa Vanderpump and lived to tell the tale. As a perma-sidekick to Kyle Richards, though, we're not so sure she has what it takes to ever truly stand on her own.
99. Monica Garcia, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City
Now Housewife has changed the game quite like Monica Garcie.
Upon joining the series in season four, Monica quickly became a fan favorite due to her likeability and willingness to open up about her troubled past. She took on Lisa Barlow over her missing $60,000 ring, revealed she had an affair with her husband's brother before their divorce and showcased her messed up relationship with her unhinged mother Linda.
However, all of that came crashing down during the shocking season finale when Heather Gay revealed Monica was secretly behind a social media account that trolled all of her costars. Though reprehensible, the cast showdown in Bermuda after her lies were exposed made for one of the most entertaining episodes in RHOSLC history. And we thank you for that, Reality Von Tea(se), er, Monica.
Even though she's leaving after just one season, no one has had a breakout first season more talked about than her.
98. Marlo Hampton, The Real Housewives of Atlanta
After eight seasons of appearing on RHOA as a background player, Marlo finally got her peach on season 14. Unfortunately, Marlo seemed to be in a dark place throughout her first full season as a Housewife. She emotionally re-homed her adopted nephews for a short period, she constantly feuded with foe Kenya Moore and started a major beef with longtime co-star and former friend Kandi Burruss. While Marlo always makes for exciting television, here's hoping season 15 brings her more love and light.
97. Meredith Marks, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City
While Meredith's marriage troubles with husband Seth were compelling, her real gift to fans in season one was her snarky son Brooks Marks. Oh, and her puzzling season finale bejeweled face mask was both iconic and clairvoyant (now we're all wearing them, but not for fun).
96. Kameron Westscott, The Real Housewives of Dallas
On the one hand, she's the Housewife who introduced the world to pink dog food. On the other hand, she's the Housewife who introduced the world to pink dog food.
95. Jenna Lyons, The Real Housewives of New York City
An undeniable legend in the American fashion industry, the former executive creative director and president of J.Crew won fans over by not playing the standard Real Housewives playbook. She was unapologetically herself: Quirky, successful, proudly gay and, yes, very rich.
However, by keeping her ex-girlfriend and son Beckett off the show, Jenna denied fans a more intimate look into her personal life. Regardless, Bravo definitely got it right casting the badass designer on the rebooted RHONY. Oh, and she wore jeans to the season 14 reunion.
94. Jessel Taank, The Real Housewives of New York City
No one had a better first season on the RHONY reboot than meme queen Jessel Taank. Refreshingly candid and unaware of how she often comes across, the fashion publicist was the source of countless viral moments, proving she's the breakout star on the new season 14 cast.
Oh, and we still need her husband Pavit's Banh Mi review after his much-talked about 24-hour trip to Vietnam for one sandwhich.
93. Chanel Ayan, The Real Housewives of Dubai
From episode one, it was clear who the star of Dubai was: supermodel Chanel Ayan. From her outrageously over-the-top wardrobe to her shady—yet clever—comebacks and one-liners, Ayan was born to be a Housewife. Her entertaining antics aside, she tugged on fans' heartstrings when she shared her horrifying story of surviving female genital mutilation as a child in Africa. Strong, fearless and beautiful inside and out, Ayan is the full package.
92. Adriana de Moura, The Real Housewives of Miami
Adriana was the right kind of batty. Too bad she was stuck on the sinking ship that was Miami.
91. Joanna Krupa, The Real Housewives of Miami
Joanna's most memorable Housewives contribution was her off-screen feud with Brandi Glanville.
90. Marysol Patton, The Real Housewives of Miami
The best thing about RHOM's longest standing friend? Her scene-stealing mother, Elsa. RIP, Mama Elsa.
89. Brandi Redmond, The Real Housewives of Dallas
Did you ever expect a Housewife to talk about poop so much? We didn't. Her friendship with Stephanie Hollman was so endearing, but unfortunately Brandi's Housewives legacy was tarnished by a racist video controversy in which she imitated an Asian woman on social media.
88. Lea Black, The Real Housewives of Miami
Lea was the grande dame of Miami and her co-stars knew it. No one dared cross her. Also, her husband once represented Justin Bieber in court!
