What’s your favourite franchise of them all?

The GOAT. RHOA. Highest ratings across Bravo, not just housewives. Put some respect on their name!

RHOA has had the longest run of the best seasons with the best housewives. It’s #1 one to me! RHONY is also great but too hit or miss / too many flop seasons to pull ahead of RHOA.

I definitely believe they earned those paychecks pulling in numbers like that, but RHOA has always been a bit too mainstream for me. I like my housewives niche and weird

I agree, I need kooky or interesting cast members with lore like other franchises. Atlanta is just straight up cattiness no charm.

I picked up RHOA during the pandemic when I was desperate for bravo to air any tv, but I really am doing them a disservice by not starting from the beginning. It’ll be next after I’m done with my rhony rewatch.

Miami.

I’m doing a rewatch and just finished season 2. That season is a perfect example of the level of good entertainment that I wish BH, new NY, and NJ could have.

Miami is THE BEST!!

everydaypogostick

1mo

Yes Miami! Rewatching and just started season 2.

the worst thing you’ve done is not the truest thing about you.

1mo

I started watching just by chance while recuping from surgery and I’m so glad! I love that they can all argue and hold their own in one episode but a couple of episodes later they’re all at the same event. Non of that “well I’m not inviting her” nonsense (at least not permanently) or “I’m not even going engage” shit from other cities.

As much as I love SLC, this one of the things that really annoy me, the icing out and not engaging.

1mo

Do your job. Engage. Be messy. Trust me no one watching thinks your too good to get down in the mood.

These are my picks also! I’m rewatching RHONY and on season 11 now, and it’s just simply amazing. Miami ladies are amazing, and I’m so glad they got a second chance!

1mo

Golden age of RHONY is undeniable, but if I’m judging on the whole it’s RHONJ for me

I binged NJ from season 1 up to the season before Dina came back full time had started airing and I had whiplash by the end of it. Those reunions were something else from Jac being MIA to having to wait to the end of the next season to find out why….😰

1mo

Jac is lowkey one of the most insane housewives of all time. She may genuinely have a very kind heart, but oof

cncrndmm

1mo

What would you quantify as RHONY’s golden age? For me, first 3 seasons were ehh, then B left and had the recasting, and started to pick back up when B returns and it’s at largest cast of 8.

casuallycrayzed

she's startin'

1mo

I think the general consensus is that the RHONY golden age was seasons 8-10. Personally, I’d include 7 in that era too for the B return & Dorinda debut, but swapping out Holla & Kristin for Tinsley felt like a dynamic upgrade & the cast just began firing on ALL cylinders…

Some people count 11 as golden era too, but I wouldn’t. Losing Carole left Bethenny without an equal or any real opposition, and the show suffered a bit with all the weird editing around Barbra K Turnip.

NJ is in my top for sure! It was the first franchise that I started watching.

I rewatched all of New Jersey last summer and i was like seriously as into it as the day it aired. It’s sooooo good.

It has a really frustrating fan base, but people are lying when they say it isn’t consistently good

RHOA at its peak will never be topped. Easily the longest running stretch of fantastic seasons.

RHOC is my forever favorite. Discovered it as a 13 year old skipping school while “sick” and began to dive into it deeper like six years later. Rhoc is my comfort food. Season 4, 6 and 9 are like Mac and cheese..I always want them.

uptonhere

1mo

The early RHOC are so nostalgic to me since I'm the same age as a lot of the OGs kids. It's like a more real version of Laguna Beach.

Footdude777

1mo

Same. If I'm objective peak-RHOA is the best but OC will always have my heart.

Timely_Ad115

*windshield wiper hands*

1mo

Rhoa is right up there for me. I’m a fan of the classics.

uptonhere

1mo

Vanderpump Rules is the greatest reality TV show of all time in my opinion. No other show has delivered as many classic moments for as many years as VPR. Even "bad" VPR is still great compared to most other reality shows the last decade.

Strictly HW, RHONY for sure. Basically a cast of women who could all carry their own franchises by themselves on the same powerhouse lineup.

I think its the weakest series overall, but Vicki Gunvalson is my favorite HW. There's just something endearing about her that I can't explain.

Womanrunningwtw

1mo

Yes! VPR early seasons delivered so much! I did a rewatch this month and I am shocked by all the things I forgot about. It really was one of a kind

uptonhere

1mo

Truly a one in a million cast. Usually, a reality show has the one cast member that blows up and becomes the star, or the villain, or the comedic relief, etc. but in the case of VPR, it is very much like Jersey Shore, where literally every cast member was iconic in their own way and had their own moments where they carried the show. They also maintained a lot of the core cast for a long time and the cast had real life long standing relationships before the show, all things integral to classic reality TV. Plus, they hit the jackpot with Lala and James being added as cast members, because adding newbies can often submarine a show. And it took a while, but Raquel/Rachel eventually became maybe the most important cast member in Bravo history.

How can you do this to me question mark

1mo

Yes RHOA is prob my 2nd favorite after RHONY. Nene, Wig, Porsha and Kenya - I mean . . . the watchability of those few alone!

Been watching all housewives since 2010 but the one that’s captured my heart and my sanity is and always will be RHONJ. So many lines from that franchise live in my head rent free. The trashy, gaudy, ridiculous shenanigans those ladies pull just gets me every-time. And the accents, my god the accents 😆 CWAAHFEE (coffee)

MIAMI. No question

I’m gonna miss Candiace as she has always been my favourite. So I’m open to it. But two more of them needed to go instead on Robyn (even tho I’m no longer a fan of hers either)

I love golden era RHONY and RHOA but honestly, Melbourne has to be my favourite. This gif alone seals the deal.

If you haven’t seen Melbourne, run, don’t walk people, it’s in the housewives hall of fame

How can you do this to me question mark

1mo

Is it on Peacock?? Never seen even an epi.

EDIT: just searched IMDB and it gives no watch options for it. Also checked Hulu and Peacock - where else can I find it?

Klutzy-Client

1mo

I watched it discovery+ but not sure if it’s still there, if you have a VPN you could switch it to somewhere in Oz and see if you can stream it that way. I would even buy the seasons if it’s available on prime, it’s top tier. As good as RHONY 7-10

atlanta 🍑

mixerslow

OC and ATL for me, especially the older seasons. I like genuine friendship mixed with insane drama, comedy, and a little trashiness. RHOC 5-12 and RHOA 4-10 are unmatched in that regard

brashumpire

Señora Bubba

1mo

As a rewatch? RHONY & RHOBH

As a suggestion to others to hook onto housewives? Miami or Potomac

Favorite franchise when it airs (so past season): Miami, SLC or RHONY

RHOBH/SLC are now tied as my favorites..

For sheer rewatchability- No show- none- touches RHONY

I am partial to Seasons 3, and 5-6.

(I loved the Heather/Aviva/Carol seasons- No idea why)

RHOM, Early RHOA and RHOBH will always be my favorites. I love them all except RHOC it was great in the beginning but it’s been so disappointing for too long now 😭

I love/like most franchises but the core cast of Melbourne will be hard pressed to best! Gina, Gamble, Janet, Lydia, Chyka, Pettifleur and Jackie are… chefs kiss
