(not including any new ones from the last couple series)

18. Kelly Dodd
Kelly joined the show when it was already on the decline, and her constant arguing didn't help.


17. Quinn Fry
She was part of the cast for not even a whole series back in series 3. All I remember is her having a taste for younger men and standing at the party where Tamra chucked wine at Jeana wearing a strange blonde wig..


16. Kimberly Bryant
One of the OG housewives from series 1, and the only one to not return. Back in the days when the housewives were just living their lives and not trying to fight every 3 seconds. The epitome of a soccer mom. Constantly talked about her skin cancer she had and how she hated being in the sun.


15. Jo De La Rosa
She just wanted to have fun and was constantly held back by controlling boyfriend Slade (who later got with Gretchen). Her whole experience on the show just seemed tainted by her bad relationship.


14. Jeana Keough
Jeana was like the Coleen Nolan of the housewives. Always defending the wrong side. Her life was one big misery, freshly divorced and having to raise 3 bulshy arrogant kids with her just as arrogant ex-husband, its no wonder she was always in the middle of the drama.


13. Lizzie Rozvek
She wasnt the most exciting of people.. she was nice though? so thats something.. Its no surprise she got cut after just 1 series.


12. Lydia McLaughlin
She later admitted she only did the show to promote her book about Jesus and faith.. she was pretty dull for the most part. It was quite fun seeing her get angry on occasion.


11. Peggy Tanous
Stone faced Peggy only lasted 1 series, although she made quite an impact, facing up to the then unchallenged Vicki, and that huge fuss she made when her daughter cut her finger and she was acting like her whole arm had come off.


10. Meghan King Edmonds
The youngest housewife on the show, she added a much needed fresh face when she joined a few years ago. The other women (mainly Vicki) took a huge disliking to her and she was booted after a couple of series.


9. Shannon Beador
She LOVES to bring up her husbands affair at any opportunity.. which is pretty much the only thing she talks about. Other than that shes usually crying or just being generally messy.


8. Alexis Bellino
nicknamed 'Jesus Jugs' by Tamra, Alexis was the typical crazy christian woman. She thought her ugly controlling husband was the greatest thing in the world. While she wasn't great on a personal level, she became the pinata for pretty much all the other housewives, I dont think there was a fight that didn't involve her throughout her entire 3 series stint.


7. Tammy Knickerbocker
One of the more down to Earth housewives to appear on the show. Tammy dealt with some real life problems, such as her divorce and trying to control her teenage kids who were constantly getting in trouble with the law. Its a shame she only lasted a couple of series.


6. Lauri Peterson
In series 1, Lauri was broke and working as Vickis PA. Throughout the first 4 series, Lauri struggled with finances and trying to keep her son out of prison. Eventually she met a rich man, they married, and her financial troubles were no more. Her son still ended up in prison though.


5. Gretchen Rossi
She may have come across like a dumb blonde at times, but Gretchen was a savvy business woman and (unlike a lot of the housewives) she stood on her own two feet. In her first series she had a 90-something year old terminally ill husband and watching her pretend to be in love was a scream. Unfortunatly once he died she then moved on to Jo De La Rosa's ex, Slade, who dragged her down financially and was ultimately the reason she got axed after 4 series.


4. Lynne Curtin
If there was ever an unlucky housewife, it was Lynne. From her alcohol abusing underage daughters to her getting served with eviction papers on camera, Lynne got dealt some pretty crap cards during her 2 series on the show. She always tried to remain positive though and didnt seem to have a bad bone in her. When she and her husband were declared bankrupt, it was the final straw for Lynne and she left the show.


3. Heather Dubrow
'Miss Fancy Pants' gave a fresh feel to the show when she joined in series 7. Everything Alexis wanted to be, Heather was rich, successful, had a good husband and nice kids and got free botox whenever she needed from her surgeon husband. The infamous cake drama was a scream, "she took the bow off my cake and ATE it!". She did get a little bit stale in her later series and it was probably for the best that she decided to leave.


2. Vicki Gunvalson
The longest serving housewife of the entire franchise. Vicki has been in it since the very first episode in 2006 and paved the way for alumni such as Nene Leakes, Theresa Guidice and Lisa Vanderpump. Although shes recently announced she has left the show, she certainly gave us plenty of drama over the years. From her divorce from Don, to her daughter Brianna wanting to join the army and later getting married in Vegas, to her countless fueds with Gretchen, Alexis, Lauri and sometimes even Tamra. Lets not talk about the Brooks phase..


1. Tamra Judge
Shes been a staple on the show since series 3 and we've seen her have her biggest highs and lowest lows. Her complicated relationship with Simon in her earlier series which led to her divorce later on, and her finding love again with Eddie and starting up her own fitness business. She had the biggest rags to riches story on the show and gave plenty of iconic quotes along the way.

In her case, probably

I disagree totally. Kelly is an icon. The series went into decline because of two of your top 2 also, Vicki lying about cancer turned so many viewers off and Tamra had no storyline for about 3 years and her trump loving son who battered and threatened to kill his ex being her focus last year killed her off.

Oh and Tamra is not rags to riches, her 2m house is up for sale because she cant afford it without her housewife fee, her gym is reportedly always empty and hemorrhaging money. I mean she's taken to doing instagram ads for VIPoo ffs

I agree with Kelly. Why is she so low. She's a scream.
