While The Real Housewives franchise revolves around a set group of women, naturally, viewers are introduced to many friends and family of the cast in the process of watching. Some guests become full-time housewives, and others constantly show up and become fan favorites. However, there have been other guests who leave not the greatest of impressions.
Many guests throughout The Real Housewives have become iconic in their own ways. On The Real Housewives of Orange County, for example, Vicki Gunvalson's daughter Briana Culberson gained a lot of respect from viewers after her take-down of Vicki's ex, Brooks Ayers. Other guests like Eden Sassoon on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills have been remembered for trying to gain housewife status but failing.
For the good or the bad, some people just have an effect on viewers. Reddit user EllieDeeZoe wondered who the worst person to feature on The Real Housewives has been, and fans were quick to offer their opinions. Most of these guest stars will likely never be featured on a Real Housewives series ever again.
Allison DuBois
In the 'dinner party from hell' episode from RHOBH season 1, medium Allison DuBois was brought on to the show by Camille Meyer. The episode has gone down in history as one of the franchise's most iconic, mainly due to Allison and her many one-liners, especially regarding Kyle Richards. While she said horrible things and fans would never want to see her back on the show, the entertainment she brought is undeniable to the fan base.
Jim Marchese
Amber Marchese from The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 6 was a one-season wonder. However, her time on the show wasn't short of drama and confrontation. Her husband, Jim Marchese, was an expert at inserting himself into any drama Amber was involved with, and fans noticed this habit on more than one occasion, calling it toxic and a bad look for the RHONJ husband. And it seems this behavior continued when Amber and Jim's son came out as gay. Jim took to Twitter in now-deleted tweets that said, "No one is born gay it is a lifestyle choice like being vegan."
Ryan Culberson
Vicki from RHOC had her fair share of wild moments. Her daughter Briana featured quite frequently on the show too, and many viewers weren't fans of her husband, Ryan Culberson. Ryan had a few moments where he showed less than favorable behavior, including at a party where former RHOC castmate Lydia McLaughlin's mother was putting her feet up on a couch in Vicki's home. Ryan threatened to kick her out and got angry while Vicki tried to console her. Fans were unimpressed by this approach.
The Real Housewives franchise has proven anyone can make their mark on reality TV. However, it might not always be for the best. Fans have loved watching The Real Housewives in their cities over the years, but meeting their quirky friends and family and forming opinions on them is a large part of the fun too.
