Picking the best Housewives is like asking a mother to pick her favorite child. It’s no small ask, especially when 158 unforgettable women have been involved across 11 different cities.
As a self-proclaimed Bravoholic, I can usually see the bright side in a lot of the ladies across the franchises. But some have that extra something special that makes them rise above and beyond.
From franchise greats to surprise showstoppers, here are the 50 best housewives that have graced Bravo’s airwaves (and can now blessedly be streamed on Peacock).
