Bravo TV‘s latest Real Housewives iteration is in the smallest state with the biggest drama … and the Real Housewives of Rhode Island have already made an impact on the current state of the franchise in only a couple of episodes.
Without further ado, RHORI’s season 1 taglines …
Kelsey Swanson
“Who needs a sugar daddy when my life is this sweet?”
Rulla Nehme Pontarelli
“I have a blessed life and I’m a loyal wife.”
Alicia Carmody
“Why settle for just a slice when you can have the whole damn pie?
Ashley Iaconetti
“My life is like a rom-com — when I’m not crying, I’m laughing.”
Rosie DiMare
“I used to report the news, but now I’m the headline.”
Jo-Ellen Tiberi
“I’m not trying to be mean, I just mean what I say.”
Liz McGraw
“In the Ocean State, I dispense the weed and the truth.”
Ashley compared filming RHORI to her time in Bachelor Nation:
On March 1, Ashley I. took to Instagram with a reel showing herself heading into glam for a RHORI confessional.
“People are asking me how filming Housewives has differed from The Bachelor…I can’t say much except when you see it, you’ll know. 😂,” she captioned the post.
In an interview with PEOPLE, Ashley I. says Housewives is significantly more dramatic and intense than The Bachelor franchise.
RHORI features less-filtered, personal, and “rough around the edges” conflicts. Unlike the dating-focused, produced environment of The Bachelor, RHORI integrates into her real life, home, and family, with more deeply entrenched, pre-existing cast rivalries.
“They’ve got stuff going on, I’ll say that. They put shame to calling a Bachelor season dramatic.”
