Bravo‘s hit Real Housewives series features over-the-top female personalities. Several of these women are fun to watch. On the other hand, some of the worst reality television stars of all time have also been seen. Whether they’re stirring the pot, repeating storylines, or flipping tables, their scenes are growing old.
Over on Reddit, viewers have been weighing in on this very topic. The question posed was “Which of the housewives scenes do you skip, or do you watch all of them?” In response, these were the Real Housewives who have the fans pressing their fast forward buttons the most.
Heather Gay
Heather Gay has been a main cast member on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City since the very first season. In Seasons 1-3, Heather faithfully stood by her bestie Jen Shah, even when Jen was charged with fraud. Thankfully, when Jen changed her plea to guilty, Heather finally distanced herself in order to stand with the victims.
Between Heather’s blind loyalties, her unsolved black-eye storyline, and her often-discussed journey of leaving Mormonism, fans have grown weary. Case in point, while one stated that they loved her, they also admitted to getting “bored during her solo scenes, when she’s doing a Ted Talk on Mormonism.” Another quickly agreed, saying, “it feels like all she ever does is talks about how she used to be a Mormon and relates everything to it. It’s like she does it because she thinks people will find her more interesting.”
“I find Heather disingenuous and I think she exaggerates,” wrote another. This response was also met in agreeance by a fan who penned, “Heather’s inauthenticity and pick me vibes makes me cringe.” All of these reactions aside, Heather is currently starring on Season 4, sans Jen. Only time will tell if she rebounds, or, if the fans will continue to hit fast forward through her scenes.
Mary Cosby
Just like Heather, Mary Cosby debuted as a main cast member during Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 1. However, Mary left following Season 2 and sat all of Season 3 out. Newly returned for Season 4, Mary is currently filming in a “friend-of” lesser position.
Mary is a problematic mess. She once compared Jen to “Mexican criminals,” and then she stated to the franchise’s only Vietnamese cast member, Jennie Nguyen, that she “loved slanted-eyes.” In addition, Mary is the First Lady of a Pentecostal Church, where she’s been accused of poaching members for cash.
“I can’t wrap my head around how she has any friends and a church full of followers,” wrote one fan. Another simply stated, “I find her extremely annoying.” Several used the barf-faced emojis to express their displeasure.
On the flip side, Mary has had a few funny moments in Season 4, which one fan addressed. “I used to skip Mary’s parts in past seasons. The cringe factor was too much for me. Word of advice: don’t skip Mary’s scenes this season,” they stressed, showing that the verdict may still be out on whether or not Mary will continue to be a snoozefest, with easy to skip scenes.
Ashley Darby
Ashley Darby has been a main cast member on Real Housewives of Potomac for all seven seasons thus far. Her failed marriage to Michael Darby really divided the viewers, as Ashley rode hard for her man, even when he was accused of cheating.
One fan’s reaction to Ashley was heated. In fact, their first statement was, “I can’t stand that b*tch.” This fan went on to explain why, and their examples were nothing short of YIKES. “She defends all his nastiness, she is vile and hateful, she gets a kick out of hurting the other ladies…she is a disgusting human being and I want her of my screen asap,” they lamented.
With multiple likes, and another simply writing-in her name, it’s clear that Ashley is someone who many tune out from while viewing this series.
Gina Kirschenheiter
Gina Kirschenheiter joined Real Housewives of Orange County in Season 13. Her storylines have featured a crumbling marriage, a move to a townhouse, a new love, and really, really unfortunate hair days. As for how viewers perceive Gina, with 18 likes received, a statement of “anything with Gina from OC” pretty much sums it all up.
Gina’s name popped up often. For many, Gina is clearly a Real Housewives star whose presence signals a chance to use the restroom.
Whitney Rose
Heading back over to Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Whitney Rose‘s name came up a lot. As for which scenes viewers are pressing fast forward on, one explained, “Anything related to Whitney’s hillin’ journey and/or Mormonism.” Another simply listed Whitney’s name as someone whose scenes they prefer to skip.
“I’m not a fan of Whitney’s at all, she’s mental to me,” expressed one. “Yeah, I think Whitney is a huge instigator because she wants to be center of attention and in the middle of all the drama” agreed another. In a similar fashion, another chimed in to state that, “nothing Whitney says is super believable.” With her name coming up this often, it’s pretty clear that Whitney’s got a few haters, and that her scenes require fast forward buttons for many.
Honorable Mentions
With at least two people agreeing, but not a ton more, a few additional Real Housewives were also listed. Teresa Giudice, Tamra Judge, Meredith Marks, Angie Katsanevas, Jessel Taank, Sanya Richards-Ross, and Drew Sidora, be warned, as your fans are starting to sleep on your scenes.
