The Bravoverse Timeline

Since I’m on my journey to claw my way through the Bravoverse I need to start thinking about my next show. I’ve been told the original RHONY crew is a must watch, RHOA has the most iconic moments from all of the Real Housewives shows, and the family drama of RHONJ is unbeatable. The Below Deck stans claim those are the best shows, to the point where my friends who don’t watch any reality tv love them. So I figured the best way to go about choosing was to lay them all out (or try to) and start from the beginning. The problem is there are so many spin offs and one off shows that

don’t last - like the six episodes of “Relationshep” because who thought that was really going to work. I thought about just tackling some of those easy watches just to cross them off my list but after 18 seasons of RHOOC I might want to use the one season of VPR: Jax and Brittany take Kentucky as a break. I decided to take all the shows that I’ve heard about and seem to top the fandom charts and create a timeline to help me follow along. A little over a year ago I found a beta app called “Marathon” that is similar to Letterboxd where you can keep track of what you have watched and rate and review them, and it has been so helpful to keep track of all the shows I watch across all of the many platforms especially with the shows that are still releasing new episodes. 

All of this research has gotten me thinking though, as a sports fan I know that there are naturally historic rivalries and I am curious if I will come along any along the way within the Bravoverse. Like do the RHONY girls feel about the RHONJ girls like the Eagles feel about the Cowboys? Or do they work alongside each other but separately like the Giants and the Jets? Or do the rivalries divide more across the categories like Below Deck vs Vanderpump? Or because we all pray to the same god that is Andy Cohen and go to the same church that is the Watch What Happens Live! Clubhouse are we all just family? I guess I will find out on my journey.

Well now that I have a plan, I have my crochet needle ready and my white wine chilling in the fridge and I am ready to go to work. Join me on this journey and follow me along on Marathon @Zolabud or don’t. It’s your life and this is mine.
