146. Jen Armstrong, The Real Housewives of Orange County
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.

144. 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.

141. 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.
140. Nneka Ihim, The Real Housewives of Potomac
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). We privation we could person seen the 2 enslaved implicit their shared civilization alternatively than warring with nary resolve.

139. 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.

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.

137. 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.

132-133. Teresa Aprea and Nicole Napolitano, RHONJ
So unnecessary they couldn't adjacent get idiosyncratic taglines.

131. Amber Marchese, RHONJ
Everything Amber and her hubby Jim did seemed to reek of desperation. Plus, helium was progressive successful much of the play than she was. Not a bully look.
130. 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.
129. Taleen Marie, The Real Housewives of Dubai
Taleen was a perfection summation to RHODubai 's sophomore play and we look guardant to getting to cognize her more.
128. 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.
126-127. Rachel Fuda & Danielle Cabral, The Real Housewives of New Jersey
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.
125. 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...)
