The Bravo network is most known for its iconic reality television series, The Real Housewives. However, Bravo has more to its roster than just Real Housewives, it also covers shows like Shahs of Sunset, Below Deck, and Vanderpump Rules. Most series on Bravo revolve around friend groups with a lot of depth or a group of colleagues who know how to work and play hard.
And while every episode isn't always a hit, there are particular ones that stand out above the rest in the hearts of fans. Whether it's because of a dramatic storyline that carried throughout the season or an episode that shocked viewers to their core, fans told Reddit what episodes stick out as their favorites.
Real Housewives Of New York: "Double Down On Delusion" (S7, E6)
With 13 seasons to its name, The Real Housewives of New York has had both iconic and horrific episodes. Some episodes are a standout with plenty of lines and experiences, while others are boring and contrived. But if there's one episode that Reddit fans adored, it was "Double Down on Delusion" in season 7. The episode showed the cast on their way to Atlantic City for Ramona's birthday but trouble ensued. The women began spiraling in various disagreements before they even got to Atlantic City. Bethenny and Sonja, especially, started bickering about Sonja's past.
LaserLotusLevel5 noted that the episode " spawned, like, 20 all-time quotes." GarbageBrainRaccoon agreed, writing, "Definitely my favorite Housewives episode in general! Everyone is a mess."
Vanderpump Rules: "Sherlock Stassi" (S2, E8)
Vanderpump Rules is currently on its ninth season but most fans will agree that the early seasons were some of the best. In season 2, Stassi's relationship with Jax finally came to an end, but not before she did some investigative work. As it turned out, there was a rumor that her best friend Kristen slept with Jax while they were still dating. And in "Sherlock Stassi," Kristen admitted it.
Fans viewed Stassi as a hero for gaining Kristen's admission and moving on with her life. One Redditor said that this episode was the pinnacle of VPR. "Absolutely riveting TV, and that entire storyline was completely fresh and unspoiled ahead of time. I miss the golden days of VPR," they wrote.
Real Housewives Of Atlanta: "Pillow Talk Or Pillow Fight" (S6, E13)
In The Real Housewives of Atlanta's sixth season, Nene invited everyone over for a "sexy pajama party." She invited a few of the women, their men, and friends over as a way to bring the group together. But after a few questions were asked in front of a group, the opposite happened.
Some fans viewed Kenya as the villain when she mentioned a rumor about Natalie and her husband Christopher. When Christoper grabbed Kenya's arm, Kenya's friend jumped in to protect her. From there, an unforeseen brawl broke out amongst the men. Because of the absurdity of it all, Solid-Imagination-80 told Reddit, ""Pillow Talk" hands down. That was a wild ride from start to finish. Even the follow-up episode is good."
Below Deck: "Runaway Chef" (S8, E7)
Below Deck has had some good and bad seasons over the show's nine-season (and counting) run. What makes the season a success or not is based on the popularity of the crew. And in season 8, all eyes were on Chef Rachel. In the episode 'Runaway Chef,' Captain Lee read the culinary demands of their next charter. As the chef, Rachel is supposed to nod her head and create a menu based on the guests' requests, but she opted out.
Rachel said some unprofessional things to Captain Lee during the meeting and refused to cook for such "ostentatious" people. Because of Rachel's spontaneous decision to walk off the boat, leaving the vessel without a chef, Divjakkajvid told Reddit, "I have now watched this week's episode twice. I cannot think of a better single episode of [Below Deck] or [Below Deck Med]."
Real Housewives Of Potomac: "Deck The Halls With Drama" (S5, E19)
"Deck the Halls with Drama," as the name suggests, was one of The Real Housewives of Potomac's most dramatic episodes. It seemed like every housewife had an important storyline that RHOP fans wanted to watch over and over.
In the episode, Robyn and her estranged husband Juan went to therapy before he proposed to her yet again in front of all their friends. But the happy moment went sour when Karen Huger was dragged for inviting frienemies Candiace and Monique to the same party. It got worse when Michael Darby confronted Chris Bassett and it ended in an altercation. Due to all of the storylines happening at once, IvoryDivine agreed that this episode was one of the best. "The last five minutes alone are spine-tingling and maybe my favorite few minutes of any franchise ever," they wrote.
Vanderpump Rules: "Sex, Lies, And Auditotape" (S6, E5)
Some would say that Brittany and Jax had a horrible relationship at times on Vanderpump Rules. Due to Jax's wondering eyes, Brittany was often left humiliated in the group of friends. It only got worse in "Sex, Lies, and Audiotapes" when a recording of Jax's hookup was made available to Brittany.
VanderpumpGhouls said, "In terms of drama, the episode of the 'Jaxney' housewarming party where Britt hears the Faith recording is top-notch." Poor Brittany's housewarming party with all her friends was squandered when the cheating issue with her boyfriend refused to die.
Married To Medicine: "Revenge Of The Sip & Paint" (S7, E12)
Many Bravo fans would say that Married to Medicine is an underrated reality show that isn't watched or talked about enough. The series focuses on a group of medical professionals and their loved ones. It's a similar series to Real Housewives in terms of friendship and drama, but the feel-good medical side of the show makes it more uplifting.
The episode "Revenge of the Sip and Paint" had some of the most comments during a live discussion on Reddit. The women and their partners were in Mexico, and while the trip went well it ended horribly when some of the men went to a strip club. Dr. Heavenly was beside herself with her husband and Contessa and Scott were close to ending it all. Car89 wrote, "Was this one of the best episodes or what? With the couples' question game and strip club, and honesty with their personal lives. I appreciate M2M!"
Below Deck Mediterranean: "The Italian's Job" (S5, E3)
In the fifth season of Below Deck Med., Hannah's second stewardess, Lara, was not playing by the rules and refused to do what she was asked. Captain Sandy begged Hannah and Lara to work out their differences for the sake of the charter but her hopes died when Lara spontaneously quit on the morning of a new charter. After this stunt, she was seen as one of the worst stews in Below Deck history.
Lara's behavior was bad for the crew but great for ratings. CavityUtility1 mentioned, "Last night's Below Deck Med episode is the most-watched Med episode of all time."
Shahs Of Sunset: "OMGG" (S5, E15)
If Bravo viewers love watching Vanderpump Rules for its BFF goals, they'd love Shahs of Sunset. The series follows a tight-knit group of Persian-Americans who live in Los Angeles and go about their lives in front of the cameras. From hookups to breakups to religious differences — this show has it all.
In 'OMGG!,' Tommy finally proposed to MJ and a scandalous rumor broke out about Reza that could have destroyed his relationship with Adam. After watching this episode in particular, Comprehensivecry5970 wrote, "How have we not been obsessing over Shahs the way we do over bulls**t [RHOBH] & dried up RHONY?"
Real Housewives Of Salt Lake City "Highway To Vail" (S3, E10)
JayBirdBull loved RHOSLC's episode "Highway to Vail" and told Reddit, "I never want this episode to end. This is the strongest back-to-back pair of episodes in HW history [in my opinion]."
In the episode, the housewives are stunned when Jen Shah escapes their girls' weekend and gets arrested on the side of the road. While on their way to Vail, the news broke that Jen was arrested for fraud and money laundering. It was one of the most shocking and news-breaking episodes in Real Housewives history.
