K K @RT94156066 May 19 Alicia is the most objective and unbiased person on the show. While others defend their friends no matter what, Alicia stays fair, independent, and connects with everyone. She’s been amazing in the show, confessionals, and appearances — BRAVO should give her a huge raise and a "best new housewife" bonus. Ashley is close too. I agreed with Alicia on several situations, and with Liz saying enough is enough regarding the marriage drama. Couples should handle their own issues. The only thing holding Liz back from being my favorite is how blindly she supports Kelsey. Honestly, both Kelsey and Rosie seem equally petty and competitive, but it makes for entertaining reality TV. Alicia stands out because she feels authentic, balanced, and fair. Overall, this cast is delivering great reality TV that doesn’t feel overly scripted. BRAVO should be proud! Alicia would be a fantastic REALITY JUDGE, aka Judge DOLL Alicia! The reality judge Judy type, but less legal jargon and more common sense! See more Read all reviews
