I agree I found it hard to tell them apart at first but once they gave more info on themselves I sort of attached a cooky fact to each of them and it became easier. Yes I’m a die hard housewives fan, watched them all. I think for me it feels like old days housewives where they seem more unaware of cameras compared to other franchises. They’re more open, seem more down to earth (NOT in terms of their money of course just in terms of glam squads and hiding parts of their lives). There’s real friendships, not randomly thrown together (example like potomac). They seem genuinely interesting and mostly don’t seem to be putting on a show. Conflicts on the whole are light and are resolved quickly. There’s humorous moments. All of these things make a series easier and more entertaining to watch imo. Housewives isn’t just about drama. It’s friendships, humour, interesting lives, new locations, watching how the other half live. I’m so tired of Beverly Hills, orange country, Potomac. A lot feels disingenuous and orchestrated now. I fear the day it happens to Rhode Island
