The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is a series that absolutely never disappoints. It is filled to the brim with explosive personalities that all hate each other. Terrific, just what we need. Today, we’re going to be diving into those personalities, and ranking all of the housewives of Beverly Hills based on what they bring to the show. Just a note, this is going to be a very controversial list. Without any further ado, let’s jump right into it, starting with an honorable mention.
Honorable Mention: Camille
Camille’s contribution to the show cannot be understated. While she won’t be returning for the upcoming season, she was in just about every bit of drama there was this past season. Even though she was just a “friend” this time around, she certainly made her mark. She talked about basically everyone to Denise, make fun of Lisa Vanderpump’s looks, and she fought with… the entire cast? Camille was an absolute firestorm toward just about everyone, for no real reason at all. While her presence next season will be missed — just for the sheer drama that she brought with her — she is certainly replaceable. Speaking of being replaceable…
Teddi
This season, Teddi did this fun little thing where she got really mad about the fact that she never lies about anything, and then got caught in her lies about five seconds later. It was a whole mess. Dog-Gate was an absolute travesty and shouldn’t have been the talking point of the season, but it was and here we are. Teddi was a major player in that, and really came out with the short end of the stick, gaining nothing from the whole ordeal. Other than that, you can find her picking fights with Erika and then crying about it. Cool…keep doing that? Teddi would be someone that no one would be mad about not coming back.
Dorit
Anyone else find Dorit much more bearable this season? Besides her less-than-beloved husband —and accent, never forget the accent — Dorit wasn’t terrible this season. While whatever she did to that poor dog that started this whole mess was probably terrible, Dorit was just a lot less of a nuisance. She didn’t feature that awful attitude she’s had in the past, and was generally fine. Still, she’s got to have a rough life. In between her swim line, lawsuits, the accent, and motherhood duties, she’s got a lot on her plate. Being a reality TV personality isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
Vanderpump
Lisa Vanderpump had a rough season, with it ultimately ending in her leaving the show. While we all love Lisa, let’s be realistic for a second. Many viewers think that she very likely did everything that she was accused of in Dog-Gate (and her past missteps), and her lies caught up to her. But ultimately, Lisa refused to be a part of a group who didn’t believe her claims, which is why she decided to leave the show. Her absence was sad, but it proved one thing — the ladies can certainly carry on the show without her. We’ll miss her, but we’ll be okay. She’s also got seventeen properties and an entire other Bravo show. She’ll be fine.
Kyle
Kyle is now the final original housewife to remain on the show, and it’s easy to see why. While she’s certainly had her fair share of drama over the years with the other ladies — basically a requirement to be on the show — she’s just likable. She’s funny, easy to watch, has some good one-liners here and there and is just someone that you want to root for. One thing’s for sure, she’s always a great part of the cast that we’re happy to see come back season after season.
Lisa R
Lisa Rinna is absolutely terrible at the game she plays, but it sure is fun to watch. Lisa is the pot-stirrer of this show — there’s always one — and can’t help but get involved in everyone’s drama, or at least help move it along at a nice, steady pace. She gets caught literally all the time, though. It’s fantastic. Besides having problems with the entire cast, she is a fun housewife, and is always up for having fun and making the viewers laugh. Because of these elements, Lisa Rinna gets the No. 3 spot on the list.
Denise
Denise Richards was an absolutely fantastic addition to the cast that we need to see come back next season. She was one of the most likable housewives to ever find her way to Beverly Hills. Denise is a very down-to-earth person, the opposite of Dorit, and she’s willing to just go with the flow, and not caring about the frivolity that we often see come with this show. Her relationship with her daughter Eloise was also beautiful to watch. While Denise didn’t have too many fights, you certainly didn’t want to get her angry. She only snapped a few times throughout the season, but they were always memorable moments.
Erika
While this is certainly not a widespread thought, Erika Jayne takes the No. 1 spot on this list. She is a fantastic member of the Beverly Hills cast. She’s a no-nonsense kind of girl. Erika either likes you or she doesn’t and she’s pretty upfront about that, even if Teddi will never be able to understand the concept. While many mistake Erika for cold, she’s just blunt, and open about her feelings. But there’s more to Erika than just that; she’s truly kind to the people that she cares about, something that she’s shown many times throughout the show. Besides, the looks that she brings to the table simply cannot be understated. Along with that, Erika’s music career is kind of fantastic, depending on your favorite genre. Erika is an incredibly smart person who doesn’t take any BS from the rest of the cast. She’s bold and never understated, and always brings some great drama along with her.
