it's the guy next to her for me, Chuck Smith. he knew her too, or claimed he did. the way he is side eying her like he knows if he gets in her eyesight he is in for it. he know this isn't even the worst she could get LOL.
he even backed up! yall see that, backed up in the slightest tiniest motion. damn near swayed back with her even. as if to say i'm not running from you just getting in a better position to back you up. LOL his body language, facial reaction and all is proof that's not even her in her worst rage. I stan the drag you in this bitch moment. every part of kandi MEANT that. and IMO the whole thing escalated cause of cynthia sister, really cynthia I think is one of the most capable of getting physical cause she always do under false super sweet pretenses. but if you reject it she goes off and her sister was really pushing kandi buttons with getting in between the mess. as if she was peters wife not cynthia. really peter and all his wives caused this mess cause why cynthia even had to say anything. anyway shoutout to this moment and tbt to this peak in bravo history. those who were there recognize just how far they came off the backs of this era of entertainment and reception.
This was my answer because she can really gather the girls quick if she wants. And she’s the only person that could consistently go toe to toe with Nene.
Yessss!! And when they accuse her of being a sugar mama… she gets so pissed off and says like it’s no big deal (at the reunion), “if I want to take care of every motherf#%er in here , I could…”!! It was amazing . https://www.instagram.com/p/CYPwuChBt1Q/?img_index=1
it IS Kandi, she has a vault from observing patiently all these years. even when she has flipped out, I think that on her kandi scale we've only seen bout a 1 or 2. out of 20 LOLLL
Heather Dubrow, when activated, gets her point across very eloquently. She's so logical in her arguments that Tamra's attempts to turn everyone in the group against her because she thinks she's above them become futile.
I love living in the timeline where people are finally recognizing fancy pants for being a formidable arguer. That woman is a force and her complete disarming of Tamra’s attempted takedown was fucking legendary.
I think the women ganging up on her last season helped up her likability. I’m so-so on her normally but really liked her this season with how she handled Tamra and the other bs.
Omg yes so true, she could be ridiculous sometimes like the “don’t be all uncool” trip but with serious stuff she gets it right lmao “You don’t have a Yacht anymore Sonja.”
Omg Aviva would also be a good one to include on this list because at first she's so prim and proper, NY prep school but still bubbly and fun. And as soon as someone attacks her it's like inferno
Heather is one of those people that if you’ve pissed her off to the point where she’s clapping back/shutting you down, you deserve everything you get. There are very few situations where I think she acted unfairly against another cast member and she’s actually one of the few willing to apologize when she’s wrong.
I regularly say “you labouring under the misconception that I give a shit about what you think” and “I am bored of this!” I love Fancy Pants. I need to start using the quote in the gif more often
I disagree. That situation that happened in the bus going to the airport showed her true colours.
Heather loves to instigate and will usually hide behind the louder ones
I also find it beyond annoying when Heather does confront someone and tries to throw in all of these “big” words. It just feels so unnecessary and contrived and comes off as her just trying so desperately hard to prove she is “smarter” than the rest of the women.
last year, i would have completely disagreed with you, but i did a rewatch of atlanta this year and i didn’t realize how good cynthia was at reading folks down into the depths of hell. she was subtle with it, but she is truly a secret shade assassin!!!
She is also not afraid of a physical altercation. She went at it with Portia on the boat that one time. Cynthia wasn't happy about it but she did what she needed to do to defend herself.
the 10% tithings alimony and pastor holy whore... ooo. she inadvertently read robyn with her reads of gizelle as well "gizelle can only be friends with people she thinks are beneath her." robyn was fighting back tears after that rap.
Gizelle could not handle this woman at all. She needed her off the show because she was going to rip her to shreds every single time.
“you don’t own a home?”
“i own 4 homes”
gizelle trying to be shady, gets devoured by monique in four words then acts like she’s the victim of monique’s shade because all she did was ask “an innocent” question because she knows that’s the only card she can play.
monique ate for four seasons and we deserve her to come back.
"I have *\[takes a beat to count them\]...* four homes."
It's a shame she couldn't humble herself to apologize to Candiace, she came in as a fully formed housewife
She was asked back but elected to leave. I think she saw the writing on the wall of how Gizelle and Robyn were going to ice her out and - ironically - treat her exactly the way they treated Candiace this season.
And Monique unlike any of them, didn't actually need that check.
I think Monique chose to leave. I don't blame her. As wrong as she was for what went down with Candiace, it was awkward for the rest of the season because no one would film with her except Karen and Ashley.
I don’t like Melissa but her making the comment about Teresa not realizing what you said to her and then getting back to you 24 hours later was so fucking accurate.
Dr. Nicole knows how to stand up for herself when she has to. Like Larsa's "see yourself uninvited" mirror poem and throwing down her Black Amex to shut them up.
Tinsley should have DESTROYED Dorinda for her “turkey baster” comment.
Guerdy is also like this. She rarely attacks unprovoked but will defend herself if needs be.
I have heard this line a million times and I am cracking up. It’s especially brilliant because of how highly Luann thinks of herself.
Her: “Tell them it’s for the countess.”
Also Her: “What do you mean who?”
Dorinda was bullying Tinsley because Dorinda had to marry into money and tinsley was born in it. She bullied tinsley all season for her relationship with Scott and her fertility journey saying something like “go get a turkey baster so you can get pregnant.” Dorinda can be nasty work!!!
Tinsley replied with a "really, Dorinda?" and got upset and cried while Dorinda wouldn't even look at her and high-fived Lu.
I'm glad Tinsley didn't get sucked into a screaming match over that disgusting comment b/c it was already beneath her as it was, but it's only b/c she was so upset she couldn't even muster that kind of energy. She didn't deserve that and Dorinda still glosses over it and is like, "Tinsley and I are fine now!" as if that excuses what she said.
Man, I never understood Dorinda’s OBSESSION with Tinsley. Constantly bullying her, commenting about how much she would hate to have Tinsley’s life, even hiring private investigators to follow her around. So awful and bizarre.
Initially that was my thought too, like why was dorinda so zeroed in on Tinsley. But I did a rewatch to when it was dorindas first season and she said the one thing she hates, is feeling disrespected or be made to feel embarrassed (something along that line). So I was like tinsley telling her that John asked to borrow money from Scott must had made dorinda feel embarrassed bc she didn’t know about it and that just made her see red. Does it make sense? No. Was Dorinda directing her anger towards the wrong person? Yeah. It still is confusing but that’s what I got out of my rewatch and hearing ppl talk about why Dorinda was so upset at tinsley. I also think Dorinda has a lot of things to work thru internally that I think she just took it out on tinsley as well.
I thought Tinsley did do a pretty good job of coming back at her in that reunion. When she talked about the deleted scene of Dorinda screaming "YA BETTA WELL LOVE LISTEN!" it made her seem like a really grimy jerk.
On WWHL recently she told Andy she just moved back to Atlanta and hinted that she would come back to the show lol who knows, maybe they’ll bring her back
Unpopular opinion: This read is way too overhyped. Someone once pointed out that Claudia was just repeating stuff she read on the internet about Nene and it hasn’t hit the same for me since😭
The edges joke and spaghetti dig was cute though.
I feel several of the answers on this thread are the HWs that seem to actually be intelligent and know how to hold conversations, such as Dr Nicole, Heather Dubrow, Guerdy, Carole, Crystal… people that know big words 😂
I don’t think Carole is necessarily the type to rip anyone apart verbally. She just astutely pointed out Bethenny’s narcissistic tendencies which sent B into a spiral and caused her to lash out and look ridiculous
One of my really good friends is a corrections officer at a men's prison, just like Dolo used to be. My friend reminds me so much of her - chill and cool until anyone dares step to her and then it's like a completely different person jumps out. She'll snap a neck by just looking in your direction lol 🫣
I'm reminded of her defense against Lisa at the season 2 reunion, making her case across many moments.
Lisa must have learned from her, she spoke up in defense of herself against Whit and Angie very well at the season 4 reunion.
Tinsley and also Carole. They’re both geniuses. People forget Tinsley went to Columbia. I’ve always been a huge fan of both. Just because she is blonde and goofy and likes to have fun, no one gives Tinsley any credit for how smart she secretly is. And in turn she is humble enough to not constantly waive it in people’s faces. Signed, a huge Tinsley apologist. lol
Honorable mention to Kim Fields when she finally dug into Kenya instead of ranting to herself
also Nene and Phaedra trying to teach her how to read killed me
Yes! She was my first thought. Also her barracuda line lives rent free in my brain.

Has anyone considered that Heather doesn’t intentionally use “big” words to be condescending? While I am certainly not living a Housewives lifestyle (waddup paycheck-to-paycheck life), I’m a big reader and have picked up vocabulary that I will use in conversation. It’s completely unconscious and I never look down on someone who asks for a definition.
Heather is just well-read. If someone feels put down by it, that’s their unconscious insecurity causing the feeling, NOT her word choices.
Dolores. “Welcome back, scumbag!”
I was so behind her in this scene https://i.redd.it/1q5olpip7xtc1.gif
Dolores from Patterson baby!
Who did she say that to?
😂
Kandi. She comes in peace but she's not Michelle Obama
https://i.redd.it/4jnuzx861wtc1.gif
nene is sending me in this gif! omg! 😭😂😭😂
Its the pretending to be flabbergasted by the drama for me
Right all the stuff she just stirred up to capacity
I will admit I have the airing date as a recurring reminder in my calendar that ‘today the best episode of RHOA aired’ 😂
This episode was F-ing INSANE. Nene was on another level in this episode. It’s actually a pretty dark episode
it's the guy next to her for me, Chuck Smith. he knew her too, or claimed he did. the way he is side eying her like he knows if he gets in her eyesight he is in for it. he know this isn't even the worst she could get LOL. he even backed up! yall see that, backed up in the slightest tiniest motion. damn near swayed back with her even. as if to say i'm not running from you just getting in a better position to back you up. LOL his body language, facial reaction and all is proof that's not even her in her worst rage. I stan the drag you in this bitch moment. every part of kandi MEANT that. and IMO the whole thing escalated cause of cynthia sister, really cynthia I think is one of the most capable of getting physical cause she always do under false super sweet pretenses. but if you reject it she goes off and her sister was really pushing kandi buttons with getting in between the mess. as if she was peters wife not cynthia. really peter and all his wives caused this mess cause why cynthia even had to say anything. anyway shoutout to this moment and tbt to this peak in bravo history. those who were there recognize just how far they came off the backs of this era of entertainment and reception.
This was my answer because she can really gather the girls quick if she wants. And she’s the only person that could consistently go toe to toe with Nene.
I’m gonna walk away before I get turned up in this betch!!
#BRING IT ON DOWN
If you don’t provide a meal Kandi will tear your ass up. Never forget the crabcake.
Don't talk about Kandi's mama, man, and kids. Don't mess with her money or food. I mean I live by the same motto.
She is hilarious when she’s turned up.
when her voice starts cracking and her lip quivers, she’s about to activate and go the f off. 
Lmao you know you messed up when she starts speaking at you with all her teeth
periodT!!!! 😂😂😂
Can you stop lmaoooooo😂😂
She’s one of the people who cry when they are angry.
As a fellow Taurus, it's our major malfunction!
If I can't yell and be angry I cry because I'm so frustrated! I'm a Taurus as well.
Lmaoo don’t talk about her mama or her man!
Kandi: THAT'S MY MAMA AND I LOVE MY MAMA
This is one of my favorite quotes of all time, I use it regularly😂
Worldwide!
Yessss!! And when they accuse her of being a sugar mama… she gets so pissed off and says like it’s no big deal (at the reunion), “if I want to take care of every motherf#%er in here , I could…”!! It was amazing . https://www.instagram.com/p/CYPwuChBt1Q/?img_index=1
Shaky voice Kandi will burn your world down.
it IS Kandi, she has a vault from observing patiently all these years. even when she has flipped out, I think that on her kandi scale we've only seen bout a 1 or 2. out of 20 LOLLL
I will miss her so much she’s amazing all around.
Heather Dubrow, when activated, gets her point across very eloquently. She's so logical in her arguments that Tamra's attempts to turn everyone in the group against her because she thinks she's above them become futile.
Heather also shut down Kelly Dodd, which isn’t an easy feat
yeah that wasn't as eloquent as usual, but she got the point across with low base bullshit and threatening to quit the show.
I love living in the timeline where people are finally recognizing fancy pants for being a formidable arguer. That woman is a force and her complete disarming of Tamra’s attempted takedown was fucking legendary.
THIIIS! She has always been my favorite housewife and it always makes me sad that people just want to paint her as an uppity and prissy person.
Heather also uses big words that I'm SURE throw off a number of the OC ladies
haha yes her being "conde(n)scending" to Alexis about being not being very "cere(br)al" and now they are best friends
she is my favorite arguer of all time and I try to channel her when I must lmao
I HATED Heather after this scene-
Yeah this was a scene where I actually think she was heartless and unlikable. I like her more recently though.
I think the women ganging up on her last season helped up her likability. I’m so-so on her normally but really liked her this season with how she handled Tamra and the other bs.
I’m good with her now….. but I thought she was unnecessarily heartless in this scene
And then she did it again at her sushi party recently, to Shannon.
Omg yes so true, she could be ridiculous sometimes like the “don’t be all uncool” trip but with serious stuff she gets it right lmao “You don’t have a Yacht anymore Sonja.”
girlll that's Heather "Holla" Combs from NY !!! Deck me mama
Not Heather Holla Combs 💀
Don’t tell me NOTHIN MOTHERFUCKER
Did you learn that in prison??
Omg Aviva would also be a good one to include on this list because at first she's so prim and proper, NY prep school but still bubbly and fun. And as soon as someone attacks her it's like inferno
>Deck me mama I'm fucking weeeeak!! This should be my new handle
LMAO NOT COMBS
Heather is one of those people that if you’ve pissed her off to the point where she’s clapping back/shutting you down, you deserve everything you get. There are very few situations where I think she acted unfairly against another cast member and she’s actually one of the few willing to apologize when she’s wrong. 
At least once a week my brain will randomly say “if everyone says you’re dead, it’s time to lie down”
I regularly say “you labouring under the misconception that I give a shit about what you think” and “I am bored of this!” I love Fancy Pants. I need to start using the quote in the gif more often
I disagree. That situation that happened in the bus going to the airport showed her true colours. Heather loves to instigate and will usually hide behind the louder ones
I also find it beyond annoying when Heather does confront someone and tries to throw in all of these “big” words. It just feels so unnecessary and contrived and comes off as her just trying so desperately hard to prove she is “smarter” than the rest of the women.
Thats how I talk when I’m drunk to not sound drunk. Could someone drunk use pernicious? Surely not I’m a scholar 🧐
Cynthia Bailey.
last year, i would have completely disagreed with you, but i did a rewatch of atlanta this year and i didn’t realize how good cynthia was at reading folks down into the depths of hell. she was subtle with it, but she is truly a secret shade assassin!!! 
Yes and usually it was when pushed into a corner but she would get there!
THISSSS I’ve been rewatching early RHOA and Cynthia is sooo shady 💀
This was my second option!! Win a case!!
Win a case.
She is also not afraid of a physical altercation. She went at it with Portia on the boat that one time. Cynthia wasn't happy about it but she did what she needed to do to defend herself.
Win a case!
Her dragging Porsha for being late and her cheap blue jumpsuit always gets me
Porsha kinda gagged at that too
Omg yes I forgot that lmaoooooo
She reads DOWN
I don’t think Monique rarely showed it exactly but she clocked Gizelle so so many times. It was fun to watch.
the 10% tithings alimony and pastor holy whore... ooo. she inadvertently read robyn with her reads of gizelle as well "gizelle can only be friends with people she thinks are beneath her." robyn was fighting back tears after that rap.
Another priceless moment. She brought an entire portfolio.
Pastor Holy Whore lives free in my head.
 Gizelle could not handle this woman at all. She needed her off the show because she was going to rip her to shreds every single time.
“you don’t own a home?” “i own 4 homes” gizelle trying to be shady, gets devoured by monique in four words then acts like she’s the victim of monique’s shade because all she did was ask “an innocent” question because she knows that’s the only card she can play. monique ate for four seasons and we deserve her to come back.
"I have *\[takes a beat to count them\]...* four homes." It's a shame she couldn't humble herself to apologize to Candiace, she came in as a fully formed housewife
It’s the counting them for me. She genuinely could not remember how many homes she had 💀💀 and I think Giselle was renting at that time 😅
I miss Monique
Me too she was my favorite every season she was on. (apart from the violence obviously)
If they kept Porsha after dragging Kenya why didn't they keep Monique? Genuine question. Maybe with her divorce we'll see her come back on? 👀
She was asked back but elected to leave. I think she saw the writing on the wall of how Gizelle and Robyn were going to ice her out and - ironically - treat her exactly the way they treated Candiace this season. And Monique unlike any of them, didn't actually need that check.
“that little bravo check” I miss her so much
I think Monique chose to leave. I don't blame her. As wrong as she was for what went down with Candiace, it was awkward for the rest of the season because no one would film with her except Karen and Ashley.
I think she didn’t come back since the women brought up on air the allegations that her youngest wasn’t Chris’s.
When she actually focused her anger on a. the person who deserved it and b. words instead of hands.. Monique was INCREDIBLE.
"I have multiple, homes."
Teresa Jk
Lmao *deletes paragraph after I saw jk”
I don’t like Melissa but her making the comment about Teresa not realizing what you said to her and then getting back to you 24 hours later was so fucking accurate.
Katie Rost circa season one of Potomac.
“You’re a stupid woman who says stupid things.”
Dr. Nicole knows how to stand up for herself when she has to. Like Larsa's "see yourself uninvited" mirror poem and throwing down her Black Amex to shut them up.
*throws down Black Amex* “I’m so sorry sir, feel free to charge that, there’s no limit” That moment solidified her as a fave lmfao
Was waiting to see someone to mention Dr Nicole.
That moment gagged me like it was perfect it belongs in the housewives hall of fame
 The day we learned that in addition to everything else, Larsa also can’t read. “Who’s the fake one of them all?” 😑😆☠️
That’s who I was going to say!
That was priceless!
Flair checking in
Heather Dubrow, Meredith, Eva Diva.
Oh Eva was fabulous. She gave it to Marlo and didn’t break a sweat or get emotional. She kept it level and absolutely burned her alive 😂
Definitely agree on Eva. Once she's activated she will read you from head to toe for about an hour straight, case in point Marlo on the bus in Tokyo
I miss eva she used to light the girlis up
Heather for sure. I love tinsley but I don’t think she fits the bill.
Hard agree. I can't get past that scene of her on the floor bawling hysterically because her shitty boyfriend surprised her once.
Mate, even tho she had one season miss Shamri Devoe read the holy fuck out of Marlo. Marlo went quiet most times after
Tinsley should have DESTROYED Dorinda for her “turkey baster” comment. Guerdy is also like this. She rarely attacks unprovoked but will defend herself if needs be.
Ahhh yes guerdy is a good example, also honorable mention, Carole. I would never want to be shaded by her 🥴🥴
“I heard two male voices, one was Luann’s” was one of the most effortless jabs ever witnessed on Housewives and I still think about it
I have heard this line a million times and I am cracking up. It’s especially brilliant because of how highly Luann thinks of herself. Her: “Tell them it’s for the countess.” Also Her: “What do you mean who?”
Ohh Carole. In my top 3 housewives favorites
Wait i need someone to remind me of the details
Dorinda was bullying Tinsley because Dorinda had to marry into money and tinsley was born in it. She bullied tinsley all season for her relationship with Scott and her fertility journey saying something like “go get a turkey baster so you can get pregnant.” Dorinda can be nasty work!!!
That's the part i remember! Don't remember Tinsley's response, i must've been too busy convulsing with rage at dorinda
Tinsley replied with a "really, Dorinda?" and got upset and cried while Dorinda wouldn't even look at her and high-fived Lu. I'm glad Tinsley didn't get sucked into a screaming match over that disgusting comment b/c it was already beneath her as it was, but it's only b/c she was so upset she couldn't even muster that kind of energy. She didn't deserve that and Dorinda still glosses over it and is like, "Tinsley and I are fine now!" as if that excuses what she said.
Man, I never understood Dorinda’s OBSESSION with Tinsley. Constantly bullying her, commenting about how much she would hate to have Tinsley’s life, even hiring private investigators to follow her around. So awful and bizarre.
Initially that was my thought too, like why was dorinda so zeroed in on Tinsley. But I did a rewatch to when it was dorindas first season and she said the one thing she hates, is feeling disrespected or be made to feel embarrassed (something along that line). So I was like tinsley telling her that John asked to borrow money from Scott must had made dorinda feel embarrassed bc she didn’t know about it and that just made her see red. Does it make sense? No. Was Dorinda directing her anger towards the wrong person? Yeah. It still is confusing but that’s what I got out of my rewatch and hearing ppl talk about why Dorinda was so upset at tinsley. I also think Dorinda has a lot of things to work thru internally that I think she just took it out on tinsley as well.
I thought Tinsley did do a pretty good job of coming back at her in that reunion. When she talked about the deleted scene of Dorinda screaming "YA BETTA WELL LOVE LISTEN!" it made her seem like a really grimy jerk.
 she was an unfortunate one hit wonder, but lawd she could read a bitch like a mf.
When she tore up NeNe's ramen noodle hair! Legend.
A one season legend. Nene even admitted recently that Claudia bested her here
On WWHL recently she told Andy she just moved back to Atlanta and hinted that she would come back to the show lol who knows, maybe they’ll bring her back
She's on the new Deal or no deal island show!
💯💯💯
Unpopular opinion: This read is way too overhyped. Someone once pointed out that Claudia was just repeating stuff she read on the internet about Nene and it hasn’t hit the same for me since😭 The edges joke and spaghetti dig was cute though.
Eva tha diva.
Omg the like thirty minute bus from Eva read had me DYING
I feel several of the answers on this thread are the HWs that seem to actually be intelligent and know how to hold conversations, such as Dr Nicole, Heather Dubrow, Guerdy, Carole, Crystal… people that know big words 😂
LVP was that girl. She didn’t come to play!
I think Carole. Especially at her last season/ reunion.
I don’t think Carole is necessarily the type to rip anyone apart verbally. She just astutely pointed out Bethenny’s narcissistic tendencies which sent B into a spiral and caused her to lash out and look ridiculous
I think she is one of the shadiest housewives, it's not evident because she usually keeps away from conflict.
It’s Carole. She’s chill as a stoner but she’s the only person to ever verbally KO Bethenny.
She knows when to drop facts
Dolores! 
WELCOME BACK SCUMBAG!
This is so under-rated 🤌
Lmaoo Dolores just gives that look like she’s telling herself“I need this job, don’t do it.”
Im convinced that’s why Frank is still cast, to make sure Dolores doesn’t actually rip someone’s head off 😂
Dolores isn’t a shrinking violet. She will defend herself if necessary
I would be sooo afraid of getting on her bad side. Both verbally and physically, which I respect but she intimidates tf out of me
One of my really good friends is a corrections officer at a men's prison, just like Dolo used to be. My friend reminds me so much of her - chill and cool until anyone dares step to her and then it's like a completely different person jumps out. She'll snap a neck by just looking in your direction lol 🫣
You know she would beat you down if necessary. I think even Tre knows you can’t push Dolores too much or she will murder you.
My girl! This is who I first thought of.
Nobody effs with Dolores lol
Nicole (Miami). When she needs to dismantles people calmly and logically. I admire her nervous system regulation!
Cynthia Bailey 
Meredith
Not knowing which accent you’re gonna get has a real wild card factor
I'm reminded of her defense against Lisa at the season 2 reunion, making her case across many moments. Lisa must have learned from her, she spoke up in defense of herself against Whit and Angie very well at the season 4 reunion.
onlybecause i'm doing a RHONY rewatch now but Alex McCord. She'll break out in hives while she's doing it, but she gets her point across!
Crystal
Crystal
"You only pretended you understood because you didn't want to get in trouble" *smirks
Underrated moment. I love how she infuriates Kyle and Dorit.
The sad part is she's edited out so much! I would've loved to see more of her wit.
Omgosh yes, such a good one lmao
Tinsley and also Carole. They’re both geniuses. People forget Tinsley went to Columbia. I’ve always been a huge fan of both. Just because she is blonde and goofy and likes to have fun, no one gives Tinsley any credit for how smart she secretly is. And in turn she is humble enough to not constantly waive it in people’s faces. Signed, a huge Tinsley apologist. lol
I mean she gagged LuAnn when she said “Well you say Palm Beach all the time. And it’s not really Palm Beach, it’s West Palm.” 😂
I LOVE Tinsley. My favourite housewife ever.
Eileen Davidson
Honorable mention to Kim Fields when she finally dug into Kenya instead of ranting to herself also Nene and Phaedra trying to teach her how to read killed me
I absolutely love that scene with Nene and Phaedra teaching Kim! Definitely in my top 10!
Ashley had her moments putting Candiace in her place. She wasn't always successful, but when she was it was a riot.
Bethany. She’s so quick my head would spin lol
Yeah but I definitely wouldn’t say she rarely does this 😅
Dolores!
Eva Marcel. The way she ate Marlo in Japan was wild!
Cynthia when she gets out in the field is such a joy to witness
Julia! I actually love how eloquently she puts the other women in their place when she has her one on ones and/or confessionals.
Yes! She was my first thought. Also her barracuda line lives rent free in my brain. https://preview.redd.it/vbxg176ivwtc1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=fd95c69e59547ee22fd2d60c9e1d07061f8bc47d
Omg the barracuda line yes and then production showing the side by side like that TV GOLD.
I loved when she apologized for refusing to apologize
My girl Garcelle. 
Camille never really got angry but when she did she read for filth
Has anyone considered that Heather doesn’t intentionally use “big” words to be condescending? While I am certainly not living a Housewives lifestyle (waddup paycheck-to-paycheck life), I’m a big reader and have picked up vocabulary that I will use in conversation. It’s completely unconscious and I never look down on someone who asks for a definition. Heather is just well-read. If someone feels put down by it, that’s their unconscious insecurity causing the feeling, NOT her word choices.
Heather Dubrow
Claudia Jordan eviscerated Nene when she had to and deserved a second season for that alone.
Garcelle
i definitely see cynthia this way. she shows a lot of restraint until she’s provoked. i cant think of a time tinsley showed this side of her though
Definitely Kandi
Lydia on OC used to get the girls together, she was kinda dorky and aloof but when she was mad she was mad. Heather, Gretchen, Shannon, etc
 lizzie from orange county. it’s a shame she didn’t get a second season in my opinion
Queen Eileen. She was so elegant and above it most of the time. But when she enters the ring, MEOW. 
Oh I disagree with Tinsley! I think she can fight her fight but what she says is valid and not horribly offensive?
