When it comes to Bravo's The Real Housewives, there is no denying just how great the entire franchise is. While Real Housewives of Orange County may have started it all back in 2006, the network has gone on to expand the Housewives into eight installments, with Real Housewives of Salt Lake City being the most recent. With eight shows comes a lot of personalities, some Andy Cohen loves and others he doesn't love as much.
Although Andy Cohen has remained quite neutral when it comes to the reality series, fans have begun to pick up on the executive producer picking favorites, especially when it comes to reunions. So, who is Andy's fav and least fav when it comes to past and present housewives? Let's find out!
10 Loves: Bethenny Frankel
When it comes to housewives that Andy Cohen loves, Real Housewives of New York icon, Bethenny Frankel, is easily up there on that list! Frankel joined the cast of RHONY back in 2008 when the show first debuted. Since then, Bethenny has given major rise to the housewives franchise, and is without a doubt the most successful from the network after selling her brand, Skinny Girl, to Beam Suntory to the tune of $100 million!
While Bethenny may no longer be part of the show, she brought some of the most legendary moments up until her very last season. In addition to her success on the show, both Bethenny and Andy run in the same social circles in New York City, making the duo a match made in heaven.
9 Loves: Teresa Giudice
Teresa Giudice is the housewife that started it all! Although Real Housewives of Orange County and New York aired years prior to the Real Housewives of New Jersey, it was Teresa's jaw-dropping season one table flip that got the franchise worldwide attention.
Teresa makes reality television unlike anyone we know, which is exactly why Andy Cohen loves her! While the two definitely get along, it's the laughs the two share together, especially whenever Teresa visits Andy's show, WWHL, that makes their friendship so great.
8 Loves: Kyle Richards
Much like Teresa and Bethenny, Kyle Richards is also an original housewife reigning from RHOBH! She remains one of the few standing who have appeared on each and every season of their franchise as a full-time housewife.
Kyle and Andy share a decade-long friendship, and Kyle along with the other OG housewives, got together to throw Andy a baby shower back in 2018. This definitely scored Kyle some extra brownie points and soared her even further to the top of the leaderboard when it comes to Cohen's favorites.
7 Loves: Ramona Singer
Ramona Singer is also one of Andy Cohen's favorite housewives, but for very different reasons. It is no secret that Ramona and Andy share very different values and beliefs, especially when it comes to politics, however, what makes Ramona so great is that Andy always gets a kick out of her.
The duo may butt heads throughout the reunion, but Ramona's antics, excuses, and wild actions throughout her Real Housewives of New York journey have not only kept Andy amused, but his bank account thriving!
6 Loves: Heather Gay
Heather Gay joined the cast of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City back in 2020, and while she may be a newbie to the Bravo sphere, she is already at the top of Andy's list! Heather came in hot this season and is easily one of the most relatable housewives fans have seen in a very long time.
Heather has also appeared on Andy's Watch What Happens Live more times than we can remember, proving just how much he likes having her as a guest. In addition to her role on RHOSLC, Heather is also a huge LGBT supporter and finds herself liking similar artists to Andy, including Rihanna!
5 Can't Stand: Carola Radziwill
Carole Radziwill managed to find herself on both Andy's good list and his bad! While her time on the Real Housewives of New York City was mostly positive, Carole found herself at odds with Andy after she said he was afraid of Bethenny Frankel and "full of sh**."
During the season ten reunion, Andy had a few biased opinions in support of Frankel, leading Radiziwill to call him out, which eventually aired and had a lot of fans agreeing with Carole! This is where things took off with fans remaining firm in their belief that Andy gets way too involved at reunions. After all of this, it's clear that Cohen doesn't see Carole as his bestie right now.
4 Can't Stand: Nene Leakes
NeNe Leakes is without a doubt one of the most recognized housewives ever! The star came to prominence back in 2007 when the Real Housewives of Atlanta first aired. NeNe instantly became the face of her franchise and has been regarded as one of the best.
Despite her status, NeNe officially left the show last year and had a few things to say about her former boss, Andy Cohen, on her way out. NeNe went as far as calling Andy Cohen "racist" in a live stream on Instagram, which all came up after claiming the only reason anyone knows who Andy Cohen is, is because of NeNe Leakes.
3 Can't Stand: Vicki Gunvalson
Much like NeNe Leakes, Real Housewives of Orange County star, Vicki Gunvalson also feels as if the entire housewives franchise is a success because of her! The star was officially let go by Bravo in 2019, which Vicki did not take well.
Considering the star was an original cast member on RHOC, which was the first-ever Real Housewives show, she felt extremely disrespected by a network that she helped give rise to. During her final reunion, Vicki turned to Andy Cohen and told him to "never forget where you came from," meaning if it wasn't for Vicki, he'd be no one! Sound familiar? Looks like NeNe got the line from Vicki all along. Oops!
2 Can't Stand: Kelly Dodd
Kelly Dodd has been a walking scandal since her start on Real Housewives of Orange County. The star has managed to become quite a hot topic over the last few years and it appears as if things are no bubbling over. During last week's RHOC reunion, Kelly Dodd labeled Andy Cohen as "un-American" purely because of his political stance.
Dodd also claimed she was "Black" during the reunion after having taken a DNA test, and used that as a reason as to how she isn't racist. With everything that has gone down, it has become clear that this may be the end of the road for Kelly, and she thinks so too after revealing she will "likely" be getting fired any day now.
1 Can't Stand: Kenya Moore
Kenya Moore has also been quite a hot topic when it comes to the Real Housewives. The star joined the Real Housewives of Atlanta back in 2012 for the show's fifth season, and she certainly came in hot. Kenya has also had a temper, so much that she even comes for people who aren't on any Housewives show.
During her appearances on WWHL, Kenya always finds herself getting in trouble with whoever she is sharing the interview with. This happened when Kenya and Sherri Shepard appeared on the show, and Moore came for the actress, which didn't surprise anyone, including Andy!
