Whether you're keeping up with the Kardashians, figuring out if Todd Chrisley really know best, or hoping the couples on the Bachelor and Bacherlorette really found true love, reality television is everywhere.
And, although I try to make it seem like my tastes in media are the highest of calibers, I love trashy reality television. It's my ultimate guilty pleasure. Some people indulge in the finer things in life, I like the trashier ones.
I would like to thank the holy grail that is the Bravo television network for gracing me with the gold that is The Real Housewives franchise. These are the women that keep me going. That make me strive for success. And to not ever be as f***king crazy as they all are.
I have a list.
I always have a list but this is one of my favorites.
My heroes, the absolute queens of The Real Housewives.
1. Vicki Gunvalson
" I am the OG of the O.C; everyone else is just a copy. "
Her season 10 tagline says it all. The veteran of the Real Housewives franchise. Vicki works hard for all she's got and takes no shit...mostly.
2. Bethenny Frankel
"I'm not a housewife, but I am real. "
My dream. Being a housewife without actually being a housewife. Should I start a line of beer and call it Chubby Babe Brew?
3. NeNe Leakes
' When I walk into the room, I own it. '
The confidence, charisma and strength of this woman is inspiring. We all know Atlanta went to shit once she left.
4. Kim & Kyle Richards
" Everybody loves a comeback story, especially starring me."
" In Beverly Hills you can be anything, but it's most important to be yourself. "
What a dynamic duo. What's a girl got to do to have hair as beautiful as Kyle Richards? What's a girl got to do to have drinks with Kim Richards?
5. Kathy Wakile
" People say that I'm sweet, but I'm tough, so don't cross me. "
I honestly want all the books waiting to be read on my nightstand to be turned into audibooks voiced by Kathie Wakile.
6. Stephanie Hollman
" I'm the girl next door…if you live in a big ol' mansion. "
I think Stephanie should get the term "Jesus Juice" trademarked. I low-key want to go against everything I stand for and become a housewife in Texas.
7. Lisa Vanderpump
" Life isn't all diamonds and rosé , but it should be."
The grace, elegance, and beauty of this woman is astounding. Do you think she will adopt me and make me the face of SUR?
8. Heather Dubrow
" Whoever said blondes have more fun, hasn't met me."
She just looks great and I really appreciate her zingers.
9. Luann de Lesseps
" I never feel guilty about being privilege."
Another raspy voice that I admire.
10. Caroline Manzo
"If you're gonna mess with my family, you're messing with me. "
My Queen. I hope one day I am half the woman Carolin Manzo is. I must admit..I have the BIGGEST crush on her youngest son Christopher. Maybe one day I'll become a Manzo?? I already got a tagline in mind.
I know all you people are thinking , " Why didn't you put Teresa Giudice…she IS the Real Housewives of New Jersey.
You know what?
I don't care.
She went to jail and did some shady shit with her husband, and I do not condone that behavior. Also, my hometown is in relatively close proximity to all the lovely ladies of RHONJ and Tre used to frequent this little ice cream shop one of my very good friends worked at…and NEVER tipped. Pshhhht. Rude.
I understand that these shows aren't necessarily "quality" television but there's just something about them that keeps me coming back for more.
P.S. Real Housewives of New Jersey comes back July 10th…ya'll know where I'll be.
