Bravo‘s hit Real Housewives series features over-the-top female personalities. Several of these women are fun to watch. On the other hand, some of the worst reality television stars of all time have also been seen. Whether they’re stirring the pot, repeating storylines, or flipping tables, their scenes are growing old.

Over on Reddit, viewers have been weighing in on this very topic. The question posed was “Which of the housewives scenes do you skip, or do you watch all of them?” In response, these were the Real Housewives who have the fans pressing their fast forward buttons the most.

Heather Gay

Heather Gay has been a main cast member on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City since the very first season. In Seasons 1-3, Heather faithfully stood by her bestie Jen Shah, even when Jen was charged with fraud. Thankfully, when Jen changed her plea to guilty, Heather finally distanced herself in order to stand with the victims.

Between Heather’s blind loyalties, her unsolved black-eye storyline, and her often-discussed journey of leaving Mormonism, fans have grown weary. Case in point, while one stated that they loved her, they also admitted to getting “bored during her solo scenes, when she’s doing a Ted Talk on Mormonism.” Another quickly agreed, saying, “it feels like all she ever does is talks about how she used to be a Mormon and relates everything to it. It’s like she does it because she thinks people will find her more interesting.”

“I find Heather disingenuous and I think she exaggerates,” wrote another. This response was also met in agreeance by a fan who penned, “Heather’s inauthenticity and pick me vibes makes me cringe.” All of these reactions aside, Heather is currently starring on Season 4, sans Jen. Only time will tell if she rebounds, or, if the fans will continue to hit fast forward through her scenes.

Mary Cosby

Just like Heather, Mary Cosby debuted as a main cast member during Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 1. However, Mary left following Season 2 and sat all of Season 3 out. Newly returned for Season 4, Mary is currently filming in a “friend-of” lesser position.

Mary is a problematic mess. She once compared Jen to “Mexican criminals,” and then she stated to the franchise’s only Vietnamese cast member, Jennie Nguyen, that she “loved slanted-eyes.” In addition, Mary is the First Lady of a Pentecostal Church, where she’s been accused of poaching members for cash.

“I can’t wrap my head around how she has any friends and a church full of followers,” wrote one fan. Another simply stated, “I find her extremely annoying.” Several used the barf-faced emojis to express their displeasure.

On the flip side, Mary has had a few funny moments in Season 4, which one fan addressed. “I used to skip Mary’s parts in past seasons. The cringe factor was too much for me. Word of advice: don’t skip Mary’s scenes this season,” they stressed, showing that the verdict may still be out on whether or not Mary will continue to be a snoozefest, with easy to skip scenes.

Ashley Darby

Ashley Darby has been a main cast member on Real Housewives of Potomac for all seven seasons thus far. Her failed marriage to Michael Darby really divided the viewers, as Ashley rode hard for her man, even when he was accused of cheating.

One fan’s reaction to Ashley was heated. In fact, their first statement was, “I can’t stand that b*tch.” This fan went on to explain why, and their examples were nothing short of YIKES. “She defends all his nastiness, she is vile and hateful, she gets a kick out of hurting the other ladies…she is a disgusting human being and I want her of my screen asap,” they lamented.

With multiple likes, and another simply writing-in her name, it’s clear that Ashley is someone who many tune out from while viewing this series.

Gina Kirschenheiter

Gina Kirschenheiter joined Real Housewives of Orange County in Season 13. Her storylines have featured a crumbling marriage, a move to a townhouse, a new love, and really, really unfortunate hair days. As for how viewers perceive Gina, with 18 likes received, a statement of “anything with Gina from OC” pretty much sums it all up.

Gina’s name popped up often. For many, Gina is clearly a Real Housewives star whose presence signals a chance to use the restroom.

Whitney Rose

Bravo/YouTube

Heading back over to Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Whitney Rose‘s name came up a lot. As for which scenes viewers are pressing fast forward on, one explained, “Anything related to Whitney’s hillin’ journey and/or Mormonism.” Another simply listed Whitney’s name as someone whose scenes they prefer to skip.

“I’m not a fan of Whitney’s at all, she’s mental to me,” expressed one. “Yeah, I think Whitney is a huge instigator because she wants to be center of attention and in the middle of all the drama” agreed another. In a similar fashion, another chimed in to state that, “nothing Whitney says is super believable.” With her name coming up this often, it’s pretty clear that Whitney’s got a few haters, and that her scenes require fast forward buttons for many.

Honorable Mentions

Bravo/YouTube

With at least two people agreeing, but not a ton more, a few additional Real Housewives were also listed. Teresa Giudice, Tamra Judge, Meredith Marks, Angie Katsanevas, Jessel Taank, Sanya Richards-Ross, and Drew Sidora, be warned, as your fans are starting to sleep on your scenes.

Stubborn Below Deck Chefs Who Ignored What Guests Wanted

The Below Deck Chefs have difficult jobs. Not only do they have to prepare meals for large parties without sous-chefs, but they also have to cook everything that they serve within minuscule galleys. At times, these hired culinary artists have outdone themselves, producing epic dishes and meals that exceed their guests’ preference sheets. Other times, they’ve failed, letting their tempers flare while their dishes burn everyone’s tips down to the ground.

In rare instances, cultural miscommunications have even occurred, which can affect the way that a dish is prepared. For example, Chef Jack Luby is currently starring over on Below Deck Mediterranean. When his American guests requested eggs, Jack became flustered. He then blamed his English background for his inability to grasp how eggs are prepared in the U.S.

Jack also struggled with how to create vegan dishes. This was a big problem, as the guests had specific dietary needs that needed to be met, hence their detailed preference sheets. To his credit, Jack is trying, and he has only complained within the privacy of his galley. As he hasn’t woken up and chosen violence towards the guests (yet), I’ll cut him some slack.

Looking back, not every Chef has responded to their guests’ preferences with poise. Some have actually become quite pigheaded, refusing to believe that any guest knows more than they do when it comes to fine dining. On this, three of Bravo‘s yachties quickly spring to mind, as they all flat out ignored their guest’s asks. Luckily, none of these stubborn Chefs are likely to ever return to this series, but I’m still going to call them out, because I’ve got the time.

Adam Glick, Onions > Guest’s Preferences

Bravo/YouTube

On Below Deck Mediterranean Season 2, several of the charter guests very specifically wrote “no onions” on their preference sheets. Chef Adam Glick took one look at their shared easy ask and immediately transformed into Adam Dick. Thinking that he knew their taste buds better than they did, Adam ignored their written requests and used onions anyways. The guests complained, and the food was sent back.

“New Money, they think that it’s an opportunity to put people down,” he whined, taking their eating habits as a personal attack. In retaliation, Adam chose to once again purposely put onions in their meals, despite their initial complaints. After a frustrated guest left the table to pull Hannah Ferrier aside, Hannah called Adam out. On this, Adam gave zero f’s.

Over his antics, an annoyed guest took matters into their own hands by complaining to Captain Sandy Yawn. When confronted, Adam lied to his boss about his actions. Not only was he stubborn, but he was also a coward. Walk the plank, Adam.

Kevin Dobson, Mr. Never Wrong

Oh Kevin Dobson. You were so talented, yet so stubborn. Mr. Never Wrong appeared on Below Deck Season 7, where he heavily clashed with the ladies onboard. One cameraman even caught him kicking sand into Kate Chastain‘s eye, like a toddler acting out when mad.

As for his interactions with the charter guests, one in particular was a private Chef, and on Kevin’s skills, she wasn’t pleased. Onboard, two birthdays were being celebrated, which the guests listed on their preference sheets. In addition, several of the guests wished to avoid dairy, which they also noted prior to boarding. On these notations, Kevin’s actions said, neh.

For the guests’ first lunch, Kevin made pizza. Every single pizza that he made contained cheese, which is clearly a dairy product. Kate reminded Kevin of this, and he complained. Moving on to their dinner, the guests requested a birthday cake, for obvious reasons. When a cake failed to surface, Kevin blamed Kate, stating that it was her job to plan the celebrations.

Thankfully, Kevin had made a dessert for that night. It just wasn’t the cake that the guests had requested. Thinking quickly, Kate brought out two shots of Absinthe, lit them both on fire to serve as candles, and then proceeded to sing Happy Birthday.

When the guests voiced their complaints over Kevin’s dismissals of their preference sheets, Kevin grew childish once again. The next day, he ordered Courtney Skippon to leave the blueberries, sausage, and cream off of the offended guests breakfast plate. Overall, Kate saved the charter that Kevin’s stubbornness threatened to destroy.

Ryan McKeown, Mr. No Squid For You

Watch What Happens Live/YouTube

Chef Ryan McKeown came on board for Below Deck Down Under Season 1. Thankfully, he was fired. Yep. he was that bad, with an inflexible, deflecting personality to boot. After coming for Aesha Scott and Captain Jason Chambers, Ryan was finally sent packing.

As for his ability to read and respect the guests preferences, Ryan failed miserably, all while stating that he was giving the guests what they wanted. When Andy Cohen called out Ryan’s dismissals of preference sheets on Watch What Happens Live, Ryan stammered “ahhhh, I beg to differ, a little bit.” He then redirected the blame, throwing Aesha under the bus, as it was her lack of communication with him that soured his meals. Um….what?!

On his actual acts, here’s two of many. First, following a fishing excursion, the guests caught a squid for Ryan to add to their already planned seafood dinner. Behind their backs, Ryan refused to do anything with their catch, because it wasn’t gutted and scaled. When the guests complained following his blatant dismissal that night, Ryan found himself in a heated confrontation with the Captain.

If this wasn’t annoying enough for you to care, reflect back on the charter guests who all wanted different items for breakfast, which triggered Ryan’s anger. For their lunches, Ryan therefore moved super slowly, which saw one of the guests coming down to check on their food’s status. Even still, Ryan’s passive-aggressive behaviors showed him hurrying like a snail, because he was the definition of stubborn.
