All of the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ Seasons, Ranked

There was a time, not too long ago, when Real Housewives of Atlanta was a No. 1 pick among Bravo shows, if not the best reality program airing on television. You can see its influence all over Bravo currently, as new Housewives are expected to “throw shade” and “read” (although, they’re never as good as their foremothers). Nowadays, everyone seems to crave their own library of GIFs and memes a la Nene Leakes. If not, they’re striving for a so-bad-it’s-good pop single like Kim Zolciak’s “Tardy For The Party.”

It’s disappointing then that RHOA has been floundering—both in quality and ratings—for at least three seasons now, despite its massive impact. It seems like the producers are scared to move on from the show’s iconic but currently exhausting staples and embrace a new era that doesn’t include Kandi Burruss, Kenya Moore, Sheree Whitfield, and Marlo Hampton. (Although the success of the rebooted Real Housewives of New York could possibly change things.)

Anyway! With Season 15 giving us absolutely nothing, it’s fun to take a trip down memory lane when Marlo and Kandi’s shouting matches were actually funny, and viewers were genuinely invested in She By Sheree. Here’s The Daily Beast’s Obsessed ranking of all 15 seasons from best to worst.
