The ‘Real Housewives’ Cold War Is in Full Swing

The Real Housewives may seem like simpletons to the untrained eye. But in Miami, a cold war more strategic than any game of “Survivor” is catching heat.

www.thedailybeast.com

alec karam @aleckaram.bsky.social · Sep 12

so it’s safe to say tamra judge’s apology tour isn’t going super well www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/rho...

A Real Housewife’s Disastrous Apology Tour Goes Up in Flames

For a Real Housewife, saying sorry is easy. Not spreading your castmates “fatty photos” while calling them alcoholics? Decidedly tougher.

www.thedailybeast.com

alec karam @aleckaram.bsky.social · Sep 5

maybe marysol is the puppet, and everyone else is the master… (or something like that) #RHOM www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/rho...

This Real Housewife Is the Franchise’s Best Puppet Master

The Real Housewives is far more than diamonds and rosé. It’s an intricate game of chess, and the “Miami” OG has finally been called out for her machinations.

the #RHOC just laid to rest katie ginella… time for them to start turning on each other! 😍 www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/rho...

A Real Housewife Is Absolutely Crucified in New Episode

“The Real Housewives of Orange County” are the scariest suburban moms on TV, and that’s why we love (and hate) them.

alec karam @aleckaram.bsky.social · Aug 29

the #RHOM probably enjoyed three or four minutes of their hellacious, drama-filled trip to Seville. I enjoyed every minute www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/rho...

This Trip to Spain Has Completely Broken the Real Housewives

“The Real Housewives of Miami” can fight over truly anything, having wrapped two full episodes feuding over a 22-minute flight. Can we go for three?

alec karam @aleckaram.bsky.social · Aug 29

Did This Real Housewife Make Up the ‘OC’ Roofie Rumor?

“The Real Housewives of Orange County” have never been more desperate, seeking out a lie detector test to figure out if there’s a traitor in their midst.

alec karam @aleckaram.bsky.social · Aug 22

I think what’s really fun about #RHOM is there’s no voice of reason, and tonight’s episode is such lovely proof of that www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/rho...

The Real Housewives Completely Lose Their Minds in Spain

There might be a gas leak in Seville, as “The Real Housewives of Miami” have all come undone, growing increasingly erratic in the face of utter chaos.

I kinda love how much #RHOC is embracing its primetime soap-opera roots this season www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/rho...

What’s the Truth Behind the Real Housewives Roofie Rumor?

Was a Real Housewife roofied back in 2008? Three presidents and two financial crises later, that’s the hot topic on Bravo’s suburban soap opera. It’s absolutely thrilling.

this rhom was a victim-off between lisa and larsa 😍 www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/rho...

Which Real Housewife Is the Biggest Victim?

It’s tough being a Real Housewife of Miami. You have to fly to St. Barth’s for divorce dealings, fight on the streets of Seville, and deal with your friend’s life imploding.
