A couple of years ago, the "same energy" meme started showing up everywhere on the internet. The meme has become a popular way to compare to unrelated things in a way that demonstrates their strong similarity. It could be a celebrity making the same facial expression as an animal, a cartoon that looks an awful lot like an actor, or even a situation in two contrasting shows that are ironically similar. Bravo fans have taken to the format, making hilarious "same energy" memes about their favorite Bravolebrities.
Whether it's a moment in a Real Housewives cast memeber's confessional, a fashion choice made on the show, or comparing two different cities in the franchise, these memes definitely share the same energy while also serving the laughs.
The Corner Of The Eye Trick
If there's one tip that's been passed down through the Real Housewives chain, it's to always dry their tears with a tissue in the corner of their eye. Applying pressure to that area can help a person from crying more, and it saves their makeup from getting messed up by the waterworks.
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City's Lisa Barlow perfected this in her confessionals, but it's Candiace Dillard Bassett from The Real Housewives of Potomac who made tear-drying an art form. As one of the most stylish cast member with iconic confessional looks in RHOP, Candiace never let that mascara drip. Seeing both the ladies next to each other in this meme proves their energies collide.
The Real Housewives Of New York City Is Sex In The City Reincarnated
After premiering in 1998, Sex and the City quickly became a fan favorite because of the unfiltered lifestyle of four friends: Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha. While the show had oodles of characters filtering in and out of the series, the four friends remained the crucial core of Sex and the City.

Likewise, The Real Housewives of New York shows a group of friends living in the same city, going through similar things the women of Sex and the City went through. From breakups to makeups to high-end fashion, the groups of women from both shows clearly have the same energy.
Jen Shades Lisa Barlow By Comparing Her To Mariah Carey
In an infamous moment from Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live, W Magazine noted that Andy asked Mariah Carey a question about her relationship with Jennifer Lopez. Carey shaded Lopez with her dry response: "I don't know her." Carey isn't a celebrity that's on WWHL often, so her answer struck a chord in pop culture.
Ironically, in an episode of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Lisa Barlow had the same energy when she said she didn't really know castmate Heather Gay. Oddly enough, Heather went to college with Lisa and at one time claimed to be close friends with her because of it. Just like Mariah Carey, Barlow served the shade on a gold platter.
Sutton Is The Real-Life Version Of Marie
Marie is one of the three kittens shown in Disney's The Aristocats. She is posh and wears a big, pink bow as a collar. With her bright blue eyes and subtle sense of style (for a cat), Marie is adorable. Funny enough, Sutton looked like a human version of Marie in season 11 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
As one of the most stylish cast members, Sutton had a massive black bow around her neck, blue eyes, and blonde hair. Sutton has the same energy as Marie.
Is Leah The New Brandi?
Leah McSweeney had a stellar first season on The Real Housewives of New York City. She was younger than the other women, had a modern voice, and stirred the pot. However, her second season hasn't been well-received. She's more outspoken than in season 1 and getting into arguments over small things with the other women in most scenes. In a lot of ways, some are comparing her to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills's Brandi Glanville. Brandi also started out as a fan favorite, but she soon became one of the most hated Real Housewives cast members in the entire franchise and, according to People, was let go. It's easy to compare these two now that Leah is having a rough second season.
When Luann Compares Her Interview To Oprah And Meghan's
In March of 2021, Oprah Winfrey sat down with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry to talk about their departure from England's royal family. It was an in-depth, serious interview that talked about everything from the royal family's constraints to racism. When RHONY's Luann de Lesseps saw the interview, she compared the energy to that of her interview with Andy Cohen. In the interview, according to Vulture, she talked about her divorce from Tom and her downward spiral. It was a time where RHONY fans supported her and wanted what was best for Luann. The energy wasn't that similar, but the scenes sure were.
Engaged Vs. Disengaged
Fans of RHOSLC became obsessed with Meredith Marks for how she handled herself in arguments with the other women. Whenever an argument went out of hand, she would she "I'm disengaging" and step away from the situation. Fans loved the way Meredith "disengaged," and they created memes to prove it. In fact, Meredith said "disengaging" so much that the minute Margaret Josephs said it in The Real Housewives of New Jersey, fans went wild. The two women, at that moment, shared the same energy in engaging and disengaging.
Luann And Karen's Mirror Effect
One of Karen Smith's biggest moments in Mean Girls was when she added a bedazzled letter K to her chest for the school dance. However, since Karen made the K by looking in the mirror, the K was put on backward. Hilariously enough, Luann pulled a similar stunt and made the same mistake when she put on her Chanel earrings. Instead of the earrings saying Cha-Nel, Lu's said Nel-Cha.
Step Aside, Marg Simpson, There's A New Housewife In Town
Leah McSweeney is a fashion designer with a successful business called Married to the Mob. Because her life is dedicated to style and trends, Leah has some of the most unique looks on RHONY but she pulls them off. The same can be said for her confessional looks. However, there are some confessional looks that remind fans of other pop-culture moments, like Marge's pink suit and pearls in The Simpsons. Everything from the lipstick to the outfit is the same energy.
The More The Merrier
Dolores Catania's main on-and-off storyline throughout her time on The Real Housewives of New Jersey is her unique relationship with her boyfriend David and her ex-husband Frank Sr. On the show, the three of them are best friends and enjoy spending time together, which some fans find hard to believe. Her choice to live with her ex while dating David was a shocking decision to fans, but it works for Dolores.
Ironically, The Real Housewives of Atlanta's Porsha Williams became quietly engaged to Simon Guobadia. She posted a happy picture of herself with her new fiance and ex-partner Dennis McKinley, which gave the same energy as Dolores's family photos.
Jennifer Pulled A Snooki
Jennifer Aydin has become more comfortable in her skin on The Real Housewives of New Jersey since her first season. She speaks her mind and has been sharing more personal moments with her family, which fans appreciate. However, the one thing fans don't always support is how intoxicated she becomes at parties and how things blow up out of proportion because of it. In one scene, Jennifer fell flat on her face at a pool party because of the number of drinks she consumed, mimicking the moment a drunken Sooki fell on her face on the beach in Jersey Shore.
