Summary

Our much beloved "Annual Year End Best Housewives” has returned to count down the Top Ten Best Housewives of 2025. We explain why each of our choices made the list and count down from ten to one with some current hot tea thrown in. Are you going to be as shocked as we were that some of these unpopular opinion ladies made the list while many fan favs were left off? Of course there is double the trouble as our reg weekly co-host joins us to share her Top Ten List also as we fight it out to see who will take the top coveted spot from Housewives past and present. Dolores Catania, Teresa Giudice, Nene Leakes, Melissa Gorga, Meredith Marks, Gizelle Bryant, Lisa Barlow, Bethenny Frankel… Which of these ladies have made it to our “Best Of” list? Only one way to find out.
