Fights Only Bravo Fans Would Have over Thanksgiving Dinner

Thanksgiving is all about spending time with family and being thankful for those around you. Personally, I am grateful for Bravo, as the network and its shows keep me going throughout the entire year. But no holiday would be complete without a bit of flair-up. Below are the few Bravo moments I would be willing to fight for to the death. Do you agree?

Are you Team Teresa or Team Melissa?

This is the age-old question regarding the Real Housewives of New Jersey. Teresa Giudice has been the OG and queen of the castle for a while, but after Season 3, heads started to roll with the introduction of her sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga. Tre wanted the series for herself and wasn’t a fan of how her brother pushed his way onto her franchise. Almost overnight, Teresa morphed into the conniving woman we see on RHONJ today. And poor Melissa took the brunt of it.

Viewers watched as Melissa was plotted against and lied about. I’ll be honest: I wasn’t a Missy G fan at first. I found her over-eager and annoying. But today, I proudly stand as a supporter of Team Melissa. The mother of three, for the most part, has stayed true to herself and taken the high road while Tre slummed it down below. The family feud drama added to the series’ appeal. And finally, watching Melissa walk away from the toxicity completed me. 

Where did Heather Gay’s black eye come from

Now, I am no Nancy Drew, but it was pretty obvious to me that Heather Gay did not fall on top of a sink spout during her mystery fight. The idea that the Bad Mormon could actually try and pass that story off as the truth was infuriating. Yet, some Real Housewives of Salt Lake City fans believed her. Many thought that she had just become too intoxicated to remember the events of the girl’s trip. But I knew better. In my book, Jen Shah was the culprit. However, I never understood why Heather had protected her. Working in reality TV, I met many people who genuinely thought Jen was innocent of the crime. It both shocked and appalled me. After almost a year of knowing deep down I was right, Heather finally spoke the truth, settling this argument once and for all. 

Hannah Ferrier’s firing from Below Deck

During Season 5 Episode 12 of Below Deck Mediterranean, Captain Sandy Yawn let Hannah Ferrier go. At the time, Captain Sandy discovered that the chief stew had Valium onboard without a prescription, violating maritime law. Hannah and half of the Bravo following were appalled that she was let go. But to me, it made perfect sense. I hated how Captain Sandy and Malia White were blamed for doing what was right. It was apparent Hannah had broken the rules and didn’t care. 

On top of that, Hannah had never been the nicest, and I often saw her as the villain. For me, the only outcome was for her to walk the plank. The fact that some fans and Hannah couldn’t see the damage she could have caused her co-workers was just plain selfish. But at least she took a can of Coke for the road to stick it to Sandy.  

Team Carole Radziwill or Team Bethenny Frankel?

I loved this era of the Real Housewives of New York. The times that Bethenny Frankel and Carole Radziwill were best friends were some of the best moments in the franchise. Bethenny is a fiery entrepreneur, and Carole is a facts-only writer. They were the perfect match. But somewhere along the lines, it all went south. The RHONY stars were incredibly close, but Season 10 showed their demise, leaving fans split on either side.  

During the season, it was obvious that both were happy not to be friends. But the reasoning seemed absurd. Carole stated that Bethenny wanted access to Carole’s long list of contacts. Carole noted that Bethenny was mad that Adama, the princess’ boyfriend at the time, wouldn’t work for free to help her charity. Both women made valid cases, but I ultimately chose Carole’s side as she presented a better argument.   

Sutton Stracke’s impromptu visit to Crystal Minkoff’s room

Now, this fight perhaps is the most asinine moment in the history of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Sutton Stracke, caused a kerfuffle when she tried to return Crystal Kung Minkoff’s jacket. The cast had gone to Lake Tahoe for a bit of a break, but Sutton found herself having to go on an apology tour. Now, we all saw the knock on Crystal’s door. Sutton, in my opinion, didn’t just barge in but left it to Crystal to make a mountain out of a molehill. Crystal happened to be naked, leaving her feeling “violated.” The term upset the ladies, and Sutton didn’t feel like it was a big deal.

After watching the scene, I realized it wasn’t a big deal. Sutton was just doing what every other woman on a girl’s trip does. She was enjoying herself, drinking, and returning a jacket. There was no malice behind it. But Crystal just ran with the narrative, which made me think twice about her. So, needless to say, I was on Team Sutton for this one. Now, can someone pass the gravy, please?
