For so many people, reality TV was taken to a completely new level when The Real Housewives franchises took off in the early 2010s. With over 9 spin-offs from the original, Real Housewives of Orange County (which premiered back in 2006), this Bravo mega-show only seems to grow larger-- the Housewives won't be leaving our screens any time soon.
Love them or hate them, the Housewives know how to deliver drama, and always find sassy one-liners to pull out of the woodwork during some heated moments. The ladies are required to record a tagline for the opening credits, a statement that expresses who they are and what to expect from them on the show. Let's take a look at the ten best Real Housewives taglines throughout the franchise's history.
10 "If You Can't Be Cool, You Can't Be With The Countess.” - Luann de Lesseps, Real Housewives of New York City Season 8
LuAnn de Lesseps is notorious for always including her oh-so-important title of Countess in her taglines, and this one is no exception. Typically, LuAnn's taglines are stale and boring, but in this season 8 tagline, The Countess actually cracked a funny joke! Referencing the classic argument LuAnn and previous housewife Heather Thompson got into during a cast trip to Turks and Caicos when Heather was upset she walked in on a naked man next door to the room she was staying in.
After interrogating wild-child LuAnn about the mysterious bared man, LuAnn plainly explains it shouldn't matter to Heather whether or not a man stayed in her room.“Be cool. Don’t be all, like, uncool,” has to be one of the most supreme RHONY quotes to date. Hats off to The Countess.
9 “The Queen Of Diamonds Always Has An Ace Up Her Sleeve.” - Lisa Vanderpump, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 8
Lisa Vanderpump sounds incredibly coy when she delivers this season 8 tagline. She often refers to herself as the "Queen of Diamonds" and even has a previous tagline in season 3 that mentions the gemstone: "Life isn't all diamonds and rosé... but it should be!"
LVP is also a major fan of a decent pun and never resists the opportunity to express her unabashed British humor. And let's be honest- the Queen of Diamonds does in fact always seem to have an Ace up her sleeve!
8 "There's Nothing Grey About My Gardens." - Sonja Morgan, Real Housewives of New York City Season 9
Classic Sonja Morgan: making a sexual innuendo while reminding everyone just how youthful she remains, even at 56 years old. Sonja is also referencing the previous season's drama revolving fellow housewife Tinsley Mortimer, who stayed at Sonja's townhouse for some months while making comments about things looking dusty and grey.
Let's face it: half of the best taglines on this list come from Real Housewives of New York City, which happens to be the all-time favorite franchise rated by Bravo-heads. Sonja and Ramona's BFF antics might be headache-inducing to some, but the Ramona-Coaster and Sonja-Rita recipe always turns out amusing.
7 "I'm An Acquired Taste; If You Don't Like Me, Acquire Some Taste!" -Ramona Singer, Real Housewives of New York City Season 9
This Ramona Singer tagline perfectly sums up Real Housewives of New York City. It's witty, it's tongue-in-cheek, it's bossy, and it doesn't back down-- just like the New York housewives! Ramona always seems to deliver the attitude in her taglines, and this one is no exception. She's surely an acquired taste, Ramona isn't everybody's cup of tea.
Though she's not necessarily the most tactful, Ramona's tagline points out that she doesn't care if you don't like her, she'll just judge you for your poor taste!
6 "Don’t Mess With The Boss, Because You Might Get Fired.” - Kandi Burruss, Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 10
Though this tagline's first impression may fall flat, once you're acquainted with the drama between Kandi Burruss and Phaedra Parks, suddenly Kandi's words pack a much stronger punch! During the previous season of Real Housewives of Atlanta, Phaedra spread some malicious rumors about Kandi and her husband, Todd Tucker. Phaedra claimed Kandi and Todd talked about drugging and taking advantage of Porscha Williams, their fellow Real Housewives co-star. Yikes!
After Phaedra's disgusting claims were made public during the season 9 reunion, she was promptly fired from Real Housewives of Atlanta. Going back to Kandi's tagline, the reference is both a sick burn and a bold reminder of who's boss in the ATL!
5 "I'd Rather Spend My Life Kicking Ass Than Kissing It." - Brandi Glanville, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 5
Said in Brandi's flirtatious, sprightly tone, this season 5 tagline couldn't deliver a better way to express Brandi's overall attitude and school of thought. Brandi loves to swear, even if it's a semi-tame slur like "ass," so she happily took the opportunity to fuse some dirty language into her tagline.
Brandi is a no-nonsense gal who wears her heart on her sleeve; even though Brandi has a major soft side, she positively never kisses anyone's ass, and her devotion to taking care of her two sons is pretty kick-ass!
4 "I Believe In Excess Of Everything... Except Moderation.” - Dorit Kemsley, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 8
Dorit's season 8 tagline is the perfect personification for what the Real Housewives represents: living luxuriously. This tagline is a hilarious contradiction that also flawlessly mirrors Dorit's character, her over-the-top attitude and spending habits prove Dorit is never one for moderation!
3 "If You're Going To Talk About Me Behind My Back, At Least Check Out My Great Ass." - Carole Radziwill, Real Housewives of New York City Season 6
Carole Radziwill is usually even-keeled and fair mannered (she is a Princess, after all!), but the sexy vixen has a naughty side she's not afraid to express. In season 5 of RHONY, Sonja made multiple comments about how great of an ass Carole has, pointing it out to Ramona and Heather as they're flaunting their toned bikini bodies during an ocean adjacent vacation.
Her season 6 tagline is wise, sassy, and playful, which describes Carole's vibe perfectly. Carole does have a killer body from head to toe, and her ass even has its very own Twitter account!
2 "When People Tell Me I'm Fake, I know They're Just Pulling My Leg." - Aviva Drescher, Real Housewives of New York City Season 6
Another wonderful Real Housewives of New York City tagline, addressed by one of the most polarizing housewives in the franchise's history: Aviva Drescher. After calling Ramona Singer and Sonja Morgan "white trash" in season 5, Aviva provides one of the most iconic RHONY moments in the show's eleven seasons when she slams her prosthetic leg on the dinner table in the finale of season 6, exclaiming: "the only thing that is artificial or fake about me... is this!"
Aviva's prosthetic leg ends up being the butt of many jokes, and this self-deprecating, comical tagline makes no exceptions. Luckily Aviva has a good sense of humor and can poke fun at herself despite her anxiety-driven nature.
1 "I’m Passionate About Dogs, Just Not Crazy About Bitches.” - Lisa Vanderpump, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 6
There's a reason Lisa Vanderpump appears more than once on thist list-- her saucy, audacious one-liners always bring the heat! Some of Lisa's Beverly Hills competition might find her to be a salacious smart-aleck, but everyone knows LVP has never told a lie. This tagline impeccably describes Lisa, a crusader for dogs and animal rights activism, mixed with the cheeky British puns she's so great at presenting.
The inflection in Lisa's voice when she delivers the second portion of her tagline reveals her hesitant and untrustworthy demeanor, foreshadowing the upcoming battles and ugliness season 6 Real Housewives of Beverly Hills presents.
