Watching rich ladies argue is my favorite pastime. Everyone’s got a guilty pleasure, and mine is most definitely reality television--especially the "Real Housewives of New York." The ‘wives of the Big Apple are certainly party animals, they fight like animals, so what would they be if they really were animals?

1. Ramona - parrot.

Though she is known for her signature turtle-time dance, Ramona is definitely a parrot because she has quite a colorful personality. She’s loud and annoying, but you still kind of love her and know you’ll never get rid of her. Like a parrot, Ramona also has a habit of repeating things to other people at times when she probably should not.

2. Bethenny - pitbull.

This girl can be aggressive. She’s often got a loud bark and an even more vicious bite, but it’s usually because her victim really deserves to be bitten. Like a pitbull, though, she’s also very lovable once you get to know her. Bethenny is definitely one of my favorite Housewives not only because of her hilarious one-liners, but also because she speaks her mind and is one very strong woman.

3. Carole - cat.

Carole, another one of my all-time favorite Housewives, is calm, cool and collected, like a cat. She’s incredibly intelligent and always knows what’s up. She avoids the drama at all costs, and doesn’t really care what anybody thinks about her. A cougar is also an animal in the cat family. Just saying.

4. Dorinda - hen.

Often Dorinda is a caring mother hen, trying to be the ideal hostess and thinking she knows what is best for everyone, but feathers will fly when she gets angry. When Dorinda’s feathers are ruffled, it often has something to do with her awful chicken of a boyfriend, John. Yuck.

5. Julianne (“Jules”) - koala.

Koalas are not known to be the brightest of bears, and Jules is not the sharpest tool in the shed, but she’s nice. She’s also a little clingy, backing up her BFF Dorinda whether she deserves it or not. It’s still kind of early to make too many judgements about Jules as she is the newest Housewife to join the show.

6. Luanne - snake.

I mean, obviously. Bethenny knew what she was talking about when she infamously called Luanne a snake. Oh Countess Luanne… This lady is sly, sneaky and very hypocritical. The Countess is far more “uncool” than the “chic c’est la vie” classy lifestyle she claims to have.

7. Sonja - rabbit.

Hopping from bogus business venture to bogus business venture (and from bar to bar), Sonja is definitely a bunny rabbit. She’s also just kind of sad and delicate and in need of guidance. What are we going to do with you Sonja?

This zoo of crazy ladies never fails to be an excellent source of entertainment. Thanks for being you, "Real Housewives of New York City."
