There is nothing I’m more passionate about than the Real Housewives Franchise, and with my help, you can become a Real Housewife expert as well. I started watching the Real Housewives Franchise about four years ago, and I’ve been its biggest fan ever since. The show is a whole different world; the glitz, the drama, and the storylines entrap you into the wonderful world of reality TV. If you choose to start this journey, here are some quick tips to help you understand what you are watching.

Research and find out who is in the most recent cast of each show, and then watch each cast member’s introduction episode from their first season.
There are multiple seasons of each show, and oftentimes the cast changes with each season. It’s important to find the episode where the women were originally introduced. If you jump in without doing this, you won’t understand many references they make.
