Real Housewives

The Real Housewives is a popular reality TV show and has gotten a lot of love and attention since the starting of its airing years. The show has seen many seasons along with many different versions belonging to different countries like Dubai, Beverly Hills, Orange County, etc.

Real Housewives is also popular for the controversies that bring in the contesting Housewives of the show and sometimes it also brings in a lot of twists and turns which leaves its audience on the edge of their seat.

The history maker

Taylor Armstrong who first starred in Real Housewives of Beverly Hills will be switching cities and is making history by joining the other franchise of the show and the ladies of Real Housewives of Orange County for season 17.

Taylor Armstrong was quite famous during her season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and she will be the first one to create history by switching cities and starring in Real Housewives of Orange County.

The news was confirmed by an official source on August 1 that she will be joining the cast of Real Housewives of Orange County in a friend role for their upcoming 17th season. Taylor Armstrong made her debut in the show Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in 2010, along with Camille Grammer, Adrienne Maloof, Lisa Vanderpump, Kim, and Kyle Richards.

She left her full-time role on the show after season three in 2013 but she did not leave permanently and has since made several guest appearances over the years.

Long time no see

Taylor Armstrong also returned for Peacock’s Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip season 2 with RHOC’s Tamra Judge, who will also be joining Taylor Armstrong in season 17 of the show.

Tamra Judge left the Real Housewives of Orange County back in season 14 in 2020, and recently announced her return to the series on the July 20 episode of “Watch What Happens Life”, declaring, "The Judge is back, and drama is in session."

During the time Taylor Armstrong was present on the show Real Housewives Beverly Hills fans got a look into her marital struggles with her late husband Russell Armstrong. But after she gained some strength and filed a divorce from him in July 2011, Russell Armstrong passed away due to suicide a month later.

Brave and spoken

Since the incident, Taylor Armstrong has never kept quiet about domestic abuse, marital struggles, etc, rather she has openly and boldly spoken on the issues she experienced during her six-year marriage.

But love doesn’t stop, does it?? Finding true love is possible as Taylor Armstrong later remarried their current husband John Bluher in 2014. Until Taylor makes her Real Housewives of Orange County debut, find out where she lands among our official ranking of every Real Housewives star ever below.

The Real Housewives of D.C

Bravo’s ill-fated attempt at highlighting our nation's capital brought together four women so forgettable you'd be forgiven for erasing them from your memory—though their names are Mary Amons, Lynda Erikilitian, Cat Ommanney, and Stacie Scott Turner and one so desperate for fame that she gate-crashed a party at the White House.

DeShawn Snow, The Real Housewives of Atlanta Elizabeth Lyn Vargas, The Real Housewives of Orange County Once upon a time, DeShawn starred on the same TV show as Nene Leakes which not many know about. Elizabeth Lyn Vargas brought nothing to the table of Real Housewives of Orange County.

Jennie Nguyen, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City

Utah’s newest season of the show went out with a bang and not in a good way. In January 2022, Jennie was fired after "offensive" and racially insensitive old Facebook posts resurfaced online. Jennie later apologized but the damage was done.

Jen Armstrong, The Real Housewives of Orange County

The Orange County doctor was never a source of drama during season 16 and her brief marriage troubles with eternally shirtless husband Ryne were less than riveting. However, we will never forget Dr. Jen gets wasted on wine during the Dubrow’s insanely awkward yet wildly entertaining dinner party.

Katie Rost, The Real Housewives of Potomac

Katie loved to talk about her charity work, but didn't do much else on the screen. She was one and done, only to come back and not contribute much as a friend. Her marriage problems were on full display during the two seasons she was a full-time Housewife that and her champagne room are the two memorable things about Charisse.

Noella Bergener, The Real Housewives of Orange County

Noella spun through season 16 like a tornado of frantic energy. While her struggles were somewhat compelling as her husband James left the country and asked for divorce right before filming started, it was her constant drama with queen bee Heather Dubrow that helped her not land completely at the bottom of the list. Maybe with more time and another season, we'll warm up to Mrs. Bergener.

Eva Marcille, RHOA

America’s Next Top Model veteran picked up a peach for seasons 11 and 12, but never really made an impression in the world of Real Housewives of Atlanta, aside from being pregnant for what felt like her entire tenure. Points for that epic read of Marlo Hampton while in Tokyo, though.

Siggy Flicker, The Real Housewives of New Jersey

From peacekeeper in her first season to unrelenting complaints about a thrown cake and unfounded claims of anti-Semitism in her second (and last) season, we're not sure we've ever seen a quicker Real Housewives fall from grace than this one.

Peggy Sulahian, The Real Housewives of Orange County

While it was nice to see some diversity in the lily-white O.C, Peggy Sulahian ultimately proved to be a frustrating presence in season 12. The fights she chose to pick were bizarre and often involved someone using a word she simply didn't understand, and her decision to simply hide out in her room for an entire day during the trip to Iceland proved that she wasn't cut out for this Real Housewives life.

Larsa Pippen, The Real Housewives of Miami

Larsa Pippen didn't make a big impression on season one before leaving the series. When Peacock revived Real Housewives of Miami for season four in 2021, her whole storyline was about being the ex-BFF of Kim Kardashian.

Ana Quincoces, The Real Housewives of Miami and Joyce Giraud de Ohoven, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Ana followed up her one season as a Bravolebrity by competing in season 12 of Next Food Network Star in 2016. She didn't make it there, either. Unfortunately, she was nothing more than a punching bag for Brandi Glanville. Plus, her tagline celebrating the icky notion that you can never be too skinny was gross.

Gina Kirschenheiter, The Real Housewives of Orange County

In her first season, Gina was just kind of there. Her second, the 14th season of Real Housewives of Orange County, followed Gina as she opened up about her marriage problems, was arrested, fought with quite a few ladies, and dyed her hair. And yet, she's still kind of just there.

Nicole Martin, The Real Housewives of Miami

All three season four newbies on RHOM are tied in our book, so we placed them all together. Dr. Nicole was smart and feisty and not afraid to go head-to-head with Miami O.G.s Larsa Pippen or Maryssol Patton. We'd love to see her bring even more fire if/when Peacock returns with season five.

Julia Lemigova, The Real Housewives of Miami

The first LGBT Housewife ever cast on a Housewives series, Julia is truly fascinating. From being married to tennis legend Martina Navratilova and raising dozens of animals on a Miami farm, to her epic Hamptons hangover, Julia has everything a good Housewife needs. She also didn't shy away from opening up about the death of her baby son, pulling on our heartstrings and making us feel even closer to her. We love us some Julia.

Tiffany Hendra, Real Housewives of Dallas

Tiffany Hendra never really had a storyline of her own in the first season of Dallas. Unless trying to convince her Keith Urban-lite husband that living in Texas was a good idea is your idea of riveting television. Still, it was nice to see her whenever she showed up for LeeAnne
