The Orange County doc was ne'er a root of play during play 16 and her little matrimony troubles with eternally shirtless hubby Ryne (or Ryan?) were little than riveting. However, we volition ne'er hide Dr. Jen getting perfectly wasted connected vino during the Dubrows' insanely awkward—yet wildly entertaining—dinner party.

Bravo

134. Katie Rost, The Real Housewives of Potomac

Katie loved to speech astir her foundation work, but...didn't bash overmuch other connected screen. She was 1 and done, lone to travel backmost and not lend overmuch arsenic a friend. Leaving the formed travel early? A Housewives no-no.

131. Peggy Sulahian, The Real Housewives of Orange County

While it was bully to spot immoderate diverseness successful the lily-white O.C., Peggy yet proved to beryllium a frustrating beingness successful play 12. The fights she chose to prime were bizarre, and often involving idiosyncratic utilizing a connection she simply didn't understand, and her determination to simply fell retired successful her country for an full time during the travel to Iceland proved that she wasn't truly chopped retired for this Real Housewives life.

Tommy Garcia/Bravo

130. Noella Bergener, The Real Housewives of Orange County

Noella spun done play 16 similar a tornado of frantic energy. While her idiosyncratic struggles were somewhat compelling (her hubby James up and near the state and asked for a divorcement close earlier filming started), it was her changeless play with queen bee Heather Dubrow that helped her not onshore wholly astatine the bottommost of the list. Maybe with much clip and different season, we'll lukewarm up to Mrs. Bergener.

Bravo

129. Siggy Flicker, The Real Housewives of New Jersey

From peacekeeper successful her archetypal play to unrelenting complaints astir a thrown cake and unfounded claims of anti-Semitism successful her 2nd (and last) season, we're not definite we've ever seen a quicker Real Housewives autumn from grace than this one.

Bravo

128. Eva Marcille, RHOA

The America's Next Top Model seasoned picked up a peach for seasons 11 and 12, but never truly made an content successful the satellite of RHOA, aside from being large for what felt similar her full tenure. Points for that epic work of Marlo Hampton portion successful Tokyo, though.

So unnecessary they couldn't adjacent get idiosyncratic taglines.

Bravo

121. Nina Ali, The Real Housewives of Dubai

Much similar co-star Sara Al Madani, Nina exemplified a multidimensional, palmy Arab pistillate who is blending modern beingness with centuries-old taste traditions. She avoided astir of the play 1 play and was sometimes overshadowed by her co-stars' bigger, louder personalities.

Bravo

120. Sara Al Madani, The Real Housewives of Dubai

Sara's positive, enlightened outlook connected beingness was surely pleasant, but didn't supply for overmuch play (besides that 1 clip she offered co-star Caroline Brooks some not-so-well received parenting advice). However, the tech entrepreneur shattered stereotypes of what it means to beryllium a modern Muslim pistillate successful the Middle East and for that we applaud her. 

Andrew Eccles/Bravo

RHONJ's play 13 newbies surely acceptable the mold of your emblematic Garden State Housewife and rapidly recovered themselves successful a season-long combat implicit virtually thing that Andy Cohen deemed pointless astatine the reunion. We'd emotion to spot some instrumentality for play 14 for a accidental to determination up adjacent higher connected the database aft an entertaining archetypal go-around.

Tommy Garcia/Peacock

117. Larsa Pippen, The Real Housewives of Miami

Larsa didn't marque a large content connected play 1 earlier leaving the series. When Peacock revived RHOM for play 4 successful 2021, her full storyline was astir being the ex-BFF of Kim Kardashian. (and selling sexy feet pics connected OnlyFans...)

Jeff Daly/Bravo

Bravo

115. Joyce Giraud de Ohoven, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Unfortunately, she was thing much than a punching container for Brandi Glanville. Plus, her tagline celebrating the icky conception that you tin ne'er beryllium excessively skinny was gross.

BRAVO

However, Brooks did origin a batch of unnecessary play during play 1 (much of which occurred portion she was a small excessively tipsy).

Virginia Sherwood/Bravo

112. Lisa Wu-Hartwell, RHOA

Lisa was a perfectly good Housewife, but we don't privation conscionable fine. Not erstwhile she's sharing the surface with the likes of NeNe and Sheree Whitfield.

Tommy Garcia/Peacock

111. Nicole Martin, The Real Housewives of Miami

All 3 play 4 newbies connected RHOM are fundamentally tied successful our book, truthful we placed them each together. Dr. Nicole was astute and feisty and not acrophobic to spell head-to-head with Miami O.G.s Larsa Pippen oregon Marysol Patton. We'd emotion to spot her bring adjacent much occurrence if/when Peacock returns with play five.
