Nene
Hilarious and quick with it. She knows how to make a show and is one of the best reality stars not just on bravo but across the board. However. She was very envious when other people had opportunities. She gets a pass with fans because she’s funny but her character has always been questionable and dark. I did feel sorry for her because underneath the ego she seems like she has a heart and her childhood clearly affects her relationships but the lack of self awareness is shocking. Her need to control her friends was so clear when Marlo joined. I think she would’ve popped off as an actress and comedian if she left the show before she went toxic toxic like how cardi b left lhh. Not to speak ill of the dead but Greg was never a good husband from what I saw, the advice and ‘voice of reason’ persona was for public consumptions and a cover for his nasty behavior in private - ending up with nene looking crazy for how she was dealing with him. He deserved it. Better yet she should’ve left him for good - I feel like he pursued after the divorce because he wanted a piece of her shine.

Sheree
The queen of smoke and mirrors. Very clearly broke but came in like the epitome of wealth. She’s a classic mean girl who knows how to work people. Leaving nene off the list was definitely on purpose and she looked down on her in those early seasons. Has some memorable contributions to the show for sure. I’m so in awe of how she managed to rub two bits of dirt together and make it chateau Sheree, first class hustling right there.

Deshawn
Came across as putting out a pr life. The interactions between her and her husband seemed forced; that awkward giggle was yikes

Lisa
Again she seemed like she was hiding something. Just little and loud but nothing of substance is coming out.

Kim
Very opportunistic and treated people around her like fans. One of the best housewives to ever do it, not because she’s so funny but because the delusion stays unmatched - which other chain smoking 30 year old do you know trying to be a ‘pop star’. That same delusion was her downfall tho and bravo giving her a spin off sent her on a path of no return. Kroy was always weird to me and if I didn’t know he was into sports I’d swear he was a police officer with brutality charges against him.

Kandi
Very male centred and spoiled. Bringing mama joyce in was the best thing about her being on otherwise she’s boring and stuck up. She started the shade between her and nene (nene of course escalated it as she does so no one remembers this) by pushing up her face when nene was talking to her having fun at the museum about going in the studio. Prior to that she was hanging with nene with no issue but switched up with Kim in the picture. Like nene said it’s shade for shade but miss kandi seemed to think she should be untouchable but then say whatever she wants. I feel like Todd was watching her and waiting and was able to say the exact things kandi wanted to hear because of that. He always gave opportunist.

Cynthia
She was shady from day one and I don’t see how none of the housewives saw that. It was also very clear that Peter was only with her for her looks and money. She aligned herself with the ‘stars’ of the show to keep herself relevant and it worked

Phaedra
Kooky and good to see a multifaceted ‘ professional’ personality. Tells way too many lies but her dedication to them is hilarious. Apollo was scary to me from jump. The way he acted at Kim’s baby shower, the way he was glaring at Brandon in phae’s office and so much more. I suspect she just wanted him for kids and tried to manage him but the man was wild

Honourable mention for Lawrence
Should’ve had a peach. Perfect mix of shade, mess and fun

What’s your thoughts or favourite moment from the first four seasons?

Edit: the Brandon stare down might’ve been season 5 but still
