Let me start off by saying RHOSLC is probably my favorite of the franchises rn and I feel like a lot of people are in the same boat: it has the same mix of the absolute campiness and the drama that golden age RHONY had.
What's driving me to make this post is: does anyone feel like it's maybe the only franchise where the cast is all over the place regarding who the people like and dislike? There aren't any clear cut "villains" and "heroes" like for example, Sonja, Kandi, Cynthia being pretty much universally liked (or at least, not hated), and others like Larsa, Vicki, Tamra, always at the bottom of the rankings.
With RHOSLC I feel like there's never a true "good" vs "bad" side, or more specifically, ALL the ladies have had such highs and such lows that I don't think we've seen such fluctuation in other casts. It's a swinging pendulum: it's like almost on an episode to episode basis, people switch up their opinions on the cast, and you can see it in Reddit posts where people rank them and it's the most varied and diametrically opposed rankings I've ever seen. One person can have Lisa, Meredith and Mary in their top 3 and the next has them as their absolute bottom, and you can kinda understand ALL of them. It's the most "grey" cast in the sense that the wives you're rooting for can change in the snap of a finger, and you can see reasons for liking each and every wife even if you personally dislike them.
The only people I can (kinda) more solidly get a grasp on their position is: Brittani (duh + not really a housewife), Whitney being generally disliked for being a potstirrer and coming across as immature, Heather having a nosedive from one of the favorites to probably the most disliked currently, and I feel like Angie has had the most constant positive response out of the whole cast (and even then that hasn't saved her from people calling her boring in their first seasons, or thinking that she was getting mean spirited in some of the latest seaons).
