bravo-holic: (noun) a person who worships at the altar of Andy Cohen, Kyle Richards, and Karen Huger.

15. Dorinda Medley embodying the holiday spirit in the Bezerkshires on RHONY

"I cooked! I decorated! I made it nice!" Not surprisingly, Dorinda Medley boiled over while hosting her fellow NYC housewives at her Berkshires home. I greet my friends with this little diddy whenever I invite them over as a reminder to behave. Good behavior is the best way to show appreciation for a hostess's benevolent labor.

14. Caroline Stanbury humps Juliet Angus’s drunk AF husband...in a ONESIE...on Ladies of London

Picture this: It's New Year's Eve and some of London's most beautiful people have decided to celebrate in a luxurious hotel. It's after midnight, but the party is far from over. All of the women have donned animal onesies. Caroline Stanbury has decided to hump her best friend Juliet Angus's husband. Juliet is far from pleased to find a beautiful blonde businesswoman in a unicorn onesie with her drunk-out-of-his-mind husband...Personally, I despise Juliet so I was kinda rooting for Caroline to win her husband over!

13. Madison LeCroy claims Shep Rose gave Dani chlamydia on Southern Charm

Love him or hate him, Shep Rose presents as the picture-perfect Charleston gentlemen on Southern Charm–and Madison LeCroy will stop at nothing to tear about this image apart! Not that she has to try that hard; Shep can ruin his image all by himself. Madison LeCroy cemented herself as a reality TV villain in this moment! I'm only sorry that Dani had to suffer because of it.

12. Adam Glick break the preference sheet on Below Deck Med

Bravo / Via youtu.be

Yacht Chef Adam Glick does not trust a man who does not eat onions. Before chartering a yacht, the "primary," or paying guest, outlines a preference sheet with desired activities, meals, as well as things to avoid. This guest, Kenny, demanded no onions– and Adam says no. At least he owned it?

11. Ashely Darby’s father slams the door in her face on RHOP

Bravo / Via youtu.be

Ashely Darby never fails to bring drama to each season of the Real Housewives of Potomac. She documents her childbirth. She has the best facial reactions. She brings a Michael Darby cheating scandal every season. Most dramatic of all, she brings the audience along when she meets her father.

10. Tinsley Mortimer, and her dogs, say Goodbye to RHONY

I became teary-eyed while watching this scene. Tinsley Mortimer did not grace the silver screen for a long time, yet she made such a huge impact on my heart. I was rooting for her and the ever-elusive Scott in Chicago. Now that they've broken up, IT'S TIME TO BRING BACK TINSLEY!

9. Definitely not Prague! Hannah and Conrad break up over 50 Euros on Below Deck Med

Bravo / Via youtu.be

Season 3 of Below Deck Mediterranean was the first Bravo show I watched in its entirety. It was the catalyst for my conversion to the Church of Bravo. Chief Stewardess Hannah began a relationship with much younger bosun Conrad; he had English rose charm but a very empty pocketbook. Hannah wants a man who can take her to Prague–and, you know what, so do I!

8. Erika Jayne sobs over Garcelle Beauvais's alleged betrayal on RHOBH…and Lisa Rinna breaks the internet

The legal drama of Erika Jayne and her ex-husband Tomn Girardi has dominated this current season of RHOBH—as it should because it is irresistible TV! Onscreen, Erika cried and yelled at Garcelle Beauvais as she revealed that Tom calls Erika every day to the rest of the group. Erika thought she said this to Garcelle in confidence. Offscreen, Lisa Rinna revealed there was more. The producers bamboozled Erika Jayne as she did not know she was revealing that information on camera!

7. Baroness Caroline Fleming shows off her Danish estate to the soundtrack of girlboss pop music on Ladies of London

Bravo / Via youtu.be

Baroness Caroline Fleming of Denmark joined the cast of Ladies of London in Season 2, and she made a very royal splash! I loved watching this hippie princess show off her Danish estate. She's so nonchalant about this 400-year-old property I could not believe it! Also, this music is the perfect addition.

(Ladies of London, Season 3)

6. "It’s anxiety, Sandy!" on Below Deck Med

Bravo / Via youtu.be

Season 3 of Below Deck Mediterranean will always have a special place in my heart. This episode, when nearly the whole crew comes down with a variety of illnesses, is one of my favorites from the season! Hannah tells Captain Sandy that she's not sick at all—that it's anxiety! I say this whenever I am having an anxiety episode. Oftentimes, no one understands my niche reference or can comprehend who Sandy is, but I get a kick out of it. I find it even calms me down (at least, a little bit)!

5. Monique’s “receipt book” at her last reunion on RHOP

Bravo / Via youtu.be

Monique Samuels went out with a bang! At her last reunion, she showed up prepared for any question Andy Cohen or her castmates could have for her. This is the blueprint for anyone with a shady side and a Type-A personality! I miss Monique deeply.

(The Real Housewives of Potomac, Season 5)

4. Kate Chastain matches her co-workers to fonts on Below Deck

Kate Chastain is one of the most hilarious people to come out of Bravo. On her freshmen season of Below Deck, this chief stewardess compares each of her co-workers to classic fonts. If you just watch 20 minutes of this season, you will have seen enough footage to agree with each one of her comparisons!

(Below Deck, Season 2)

3. Rocky dives off the boat in her underwear on Below Deck

Bravo / Via youtu.be

This was wild! Rocky navigates rough seas, to say the least, during her one-season tenure as a third stew. At worse abused and at best underestimated, Rocky solidifies her place in reality TV history by jumping off the boat mid-charter nearly naked into the Caribbean waters. I lack words.

(Below Deck, Season 3)

2. A naked Leah McSweeney fights the tiki torches and skinny dips with Tinsley Mortimer and Sonja Morgan on RHONY

Bravo / Via youtu.be

This is a classic RHONY moment: half of the women having drunken breakdowns in the kitchen and the other women fighting inanimate objects in the backyard. I wish Leah McSweeney had come back with this energy this season rather than her little rat dog and contract obsession. I will never forget Tinsley saying tiki torches symbolize a "fun party" while Leah throws Veuve Cliquot on the fire.

1. Kyle proposes to girlfriend Amanda on Summer House

Bravo / Via youtu.be

I love the sweet moments on Bravo too, not just the fights! Summer House stars Amanda and Kyle became engaged on a sailboat over Labor Day Weekend in the Hamptons. It was magical! I cried almost as much as I cried when Tinsley left RHONY.
