But what’s really got pulses racing is a little bit of herstory repeating.
Butwhoare the most beloved?
And more importantly, whodeservesto actually come back into the fold?

Housewives head honchoAndy Cohen, naturally, isn’t naming names quite yet.
“I feel like we want to get the cast right,” Cohen toldVariety.
“We just want to get it right.

So that’s the focus right now.
I don’t want to back into a production date.
Because I want this to succeed; it’s too important to too many people.”

The two, however, tearfully made up atBobby Zarin’s funeralduring season 9.
Her desperation has been palpable and deserves to be rewarded.

Not well, bitch!”

turned nasty and downright cruel when aimed at sad-sack socialite Tinsley Mortimer.

No doubtDorinda stanSarah Paulson would approve.
Sonja Morgan
Where are we with Sonja’s townhouse?
Did she sell it or has she given up on that busted-pipe dream?

What happens if onewereto touch the Morgan Letters?
All these and other questions remain unanswered and, in some cases, unanswerable.
Again, in the same breath.

Tinsley Mortimer
What becomes aformer “It” girlmost?
Certainly not weeping over frozen eggs in a wedding dress for the engagement you haven’t even gotten yet.
But that’s what made Tinsley a great addition to theRHONYfamily.

Rarely has anyone been so gorgeously, comically sad outside a dinner theater production ofA Streetcar Named Desire.
Luann de Lesseps
What a journey we’ve had with the erstwhile countess.
From titled noble to cabaret star toex-convictback tocabaretstar, Lu’s been nothing if not completely inconsistent.

And that’s her charm.
That kind of elegance really is learned.
Martini Mike
Talk about a scene-stealer.
Move over,Viola DavisinDoubt, Martini Mike stole the show with nary a spoken word.
Leah McSweeney
Not gonna lie, I’m on the fence with Leah.
Or was it the alcohol?
This franchise isn’t the best when it comes to encouraging sobriety.
Laurie Cooper and Dale Mercer
These two feisty broads could really whip the Housewives into shape.

Bethenny and Ramona
I know, I know.
What’s aRHONYall-stars show without these two?
Well, hear me out: Ramona’sthe worst.
She’s run her course.
Turtle Time is over.
And then her behavior onUltimate Girls Tripjust proved it’s time to say goodbye to this OG.
To paraphrase the lady herself, it’s time to “sh-sh-shutitdown.”
Meanwhile, Bethennydoesn’t need usand we don’t need her.
Besides, she hasn’t even been fun her last few seasons.
Everything feels so forced with her: the fights, the jokes … mostly the jokes.
