The Housewives didn’t come to play this season—they got here to dominate. Five of Bravo’s most interesting are packing their glam and sport faces.
Dorinda Medley (returning from final season just like the ghost of Traitors previous—iconic)
Lisa Rinna (you already know the drama is about to be on 10)
Candiace Dillard Bassett (sharp tongue, sharper reads)
Caroline Stanbury (luxurious meets cold-blooded strategy)
Porsha Williams (no one combines allure and chaos like Porsha)
Mind you, Candiace Dillard Bassett & Porsha Williams have already starred alongside each different on the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip and they didn’t precisely mesh in Thailand.
