RHORI SEASON 1 RECAP - SEASON 2 CONFIRMED

from The Salty Chip Podcast · host The Salty Chip Podcast

Get the ultimate Real Housewives of Rhode Island recap now that season 1 has wrapped! We break down the massive premiere numbers that made RHORI one of Bravo’s strongest new franchise launches ever — pulling in 2.7 million total viewers across Bravo, Peacock, and other platforms in the first seven days. See exactly how it stacks up against Salt Lake City’s record-breaking 3.2 million, Potomac season 8’s 2.1 million, Miami season 6’s 1.4 million, and Beverly Hills season 15’s 2.8 million. We dive deep into every major storyline and feud that defined the season. From Rula’s shockingly low screen time despite dominating headlines thanks to husband Brian’s alleged ongoing affair with their business partner mistress, to her mysterious “deathbed” illness that had fans questioning the full-glam hospital looks. We relive the chef’s-kiss Kelly Swanson and Rosie “Slam Pig” meltdown and the explosive Jo Ellen vs. Liz feud that started over a homeless situation and spiraled into accusations about Alicia’s “nice girl edit.” Plus we cover why this new Rhode Island franchise felt like classic Real Housewives done right, the stunning Nantucket-style locations, Rula’s surprisingly catchy new song that’s got everyone buzzing, and the exciting news that season 2 is already confirmed with the core cast expected to return. We also touch on what’s coming next with Orange County’s 20th season and Vicki’s big return.
