Two decades ago, five wealthy women living in Southern California jumped at the chance to have their lavish lifestyles filmed and shared with the world.<\/p>\n
And it\u2019s safe to say the juice has been worth the squeeze. At least for the series\u2019\u00a0dedicated viewers.<\/p>\n
It’s hard to believe, but in the 20 years since Bravo released season one of The Real Housewives of Orange County<\/a><\/em>, more than 170 ladies have held the coveted title of Real Housewife, grabbing hold of their oranges, apples, peaches and diamonds (yes, we feel old as hell).<\/p>\n From table flipping in New Jersey<\/a> to dinner parties from hell in Beverly Hills<\/a>, the Real Housewives <\/em>franchise has kept fans across the globe endlessly entertained with iconic quotes<\/a> (Sher\u00e9e Whitfield<\/strong>‘s effortless, “Who ‘gon check me, boo?”), meme-able moments (keeping it cool<\/a>, not, like, uncool with The Countess) and enough drama to nearly sink a yacht in Cuba (sorry RHONY <\/em>gals, we had too).<\/p>\n But let us not forget, Bravoholics, that the O.C.<\/em>\u00a0Housewives walked so\u00a0those from\u00a0Potomac<\/em>, Miami<\/em>\u00a0and so many other cities could run\u2014wearing\u00a0designer stilettos no less\u2014into the annals of television history<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
