The Real Housewives Series Analysis

There's nothing more addictive than watching overly dramatic older women constantly fight. I would like to think that these women argue so much because the cameras are rolling, but I don't think that's the case. The executives at Bravo have brilliantly cast women who love to argue, are stubborn and are usually the "top dog" in their circle of friendships. If you place these types of women together, drama will always ensue, and that's the beauty of the Real Housewives franchise. There are currently five series in the franchise, including the Real Housewives of Atlanta, Orange County, New York, Beverly Hills, and New Jersey. Here they are, ranked in order of addictiveness.

Number One: The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
Atlanta cast: NeNe Leakes,
The most notable cast member is NeNe Leakes, and she has managed to build a pretty respectable acting career outside of the reality television circuit. Leakes, just like the rest of the cast, has no problem saying how she feels, and she never shies away from confronting whoever she has an issue with. These women are head-strong, humorous, and you never know what you're going to see each week. The cast members are also very fashionable - especially Leakes and her outlandish wigs.

Number Two: The Real Housewives of New York.
New York cast: Bethenny Frankel, LuAnn de Lesseps, Carole Radziwill, Sonja Morgan, Ramona Singer, Dorinda Medley, Kristen Taekman, and Heather Thomson
The return of Bethenny Frankel has made the New York series very entertaining this season. Frankel wasted no time letting it be known that she is the "alpha female," and the other women better take heed. If you think any of these women bowed down to Frankel, you better think twice. This season has become so addictive because the constant bickering between Frankel and Heather Thomson is really entertaining. Once you add Singer and Morgan's bizarre antics to the equation, watching the New York show is equivalent to driving past a car accident- you just can't help but watch
