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.

Instead of bonding with chap Nigerian costar Wendy Osefo during play eight, Nneka's archetypal play storyline centered wholly astir her allegedly accusing Wendy's ma of being a witch (yes, seriously).

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.

138. 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.

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.
