We asked ChatGPT to rank the top 15 Real Housewives of all time and it’s so spot on it’s unreal
There's no debate about who takes the top spot
Few franchises have defined reality television like The Real Housewives. Since The Real Housewives of Orange County‘s debut in 2006, Bravo’s juggernaut has spawned countless cities, spinoffs, and unforgettable moments. But only a select few women have risen above the rest to become icons. They’ve pretty much shaped entire storylines, dominated reunions, and kept audiences hooked for over a decade!? Here’s AI’s definitive ranking of the top 15 Real Housewives of all time…
15. Porsha Williams from RHOA
Porsha started as a naive Housewife but evolved into one of The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s funniest and most outspoken stars. Her comedic timing and quotable one-liners cemented her status.
14. Kelly Dodd from RHOC
Love her or hate her, Kelly brought chaos and sharp-tongued commentary that revived The Real Housewives of Orange County during sluggish seasons. She’s an RHOC alum people literally will never forget.
13. Teresa Giudice from RHONJ
Flipping a table is reality TV legend territory. Teresa’s legal troubles, loyalty to family, and unforgettable meltdowns make her synonymous with The Real Housewives of New Jersey. She’s still making iconic moves to this day and appearing on even more reality TV shows with her daughter, Gia Giudice.
12. Eileen Davidson from RHOBH
A steady voice among chaos, Eileen earned respect for calling out hypocrisy, especially when she clashed with Lisa Rinna and Lisa Vanderpump. She stood up for herself among some of the most iconic and intimidating Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars.
11. Sonja Morgan from RHONY
Sonja’s mix of slapstick humour, financial struggles, and quirky ‘interns’ made her a fan-favourite right off the bat. The Real Housewives of New York star is unpredictable in the best way. If anything, we need a RHONY legends reboot with her front and centre.
10. Gizelle Bryant from RHOP
As The Real Housewives of Potomac’s resident shade queen, Gizelle has been central to nearly every major feud, keeping the drama fresh season after season. We’re here for it.
9. Lisa Rinna from RHOBH
From her ‘own it’ attitude to stirring the pot with castmates, Rinna embraced the villain role like no other. This list would not be complete without an icon like Lisa Rinna. She’s pretty much the stand-out star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills across all seasons.
8. Heather Dubrow from RHOC
The Real Housewives of Orange County’s ‘Fancy Pants’ brought sophistication, wit, and a perfectly chilled glass of champs back to the show. Heather Dubrow balanced class with clapbacks. There hasn’t been a better choice made by Bravo chiefs when it comes to bringing a former Housewife back.
7. Ramona Singer from RHONY
With catwalk fails and countless meltdowns, Ramona is chaotic energy personified. She’s always been the heart, and the hurricane of The Real Housewives of New York.
6. Dorinda Medley from RHONY
Another Real Housewives of New York star to make the list is the iconic Dorina Medley. Dorinda’s emotional outbursts and hilarious one-liners (Make it nice!) gave RHONY some of its most meme-worthy moments.
5. Karen Huger from RHOP
The Real Housewives of Potomac’s Grande Dame blends shade, elegance, and delusion in equal measure. Karen’s reign over Potomac remains unmatched. Even with jail time under her belt, people think she’ll be back to RHOP and some even speculate her DUI drama might make it into the next season. Talk about flipping the script.
4. Kyle Richards from RHOBH
Moving to the Real Housewives who made it to the very top of the list, we have a stand-out Beverly Hills star. Kyle is the longest-running Housewife. She has been central to RHOBH’s shifting dynamics, balancing vulnerability with fierce loyalty.
3. Lisa Vanderpump from RHOBH
With her British wit, pink wardrobe, and swan-filled estate, LVP ruled The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and birthed her own spinoff. Her shadow still looms over the franchise.
2. Bethenny Frankel from RHONY
Bethenny changed the game, both as a sharp-tongued truth-teller and a business mogul. Her quick wit and unfiltered opinions set the gold standard among Real Housewives. Naturally, she sits in second place in ChatGPT’s ranking.
1. Nene Leakes from RHOA
The undisputed queen of Real Housewives. Nene’s larger-than-life personality, endless catchphrases, and GIF-worthy reactions made her the face of the franchise and a pop culture icon. We couldn’t agree more that this RHOA would top the list!
