i honestly cannot remember the order because life is a literal blur, but RHOC was huge, seeing Ashley Zarlin bartend on wwhl unlocked some serious memories. Flipping Out & Millionaire Matchmaker were so epic(toxic). Ofc og project runway and top chef. But the first show that hooked me where I was watching every episode was none other than VPR

Very old OG bravo show called The It Factor which followed struggling actors one of which was Jeremy Renner! After that was Season 1 Project Runway, we would have weekly parties to watch it!

I think Project Runway was PROBABLY one of my first, but Flipping Out and Millionaire definitely are up there. RHONY was my first Housewives. 

My Mom passed away and my dad had a heart attack the next month and I was depressed and stressed. One Sunday, I flipped across a RHOBH S1 marathon & got sucked in. Season 2 started that week & I loved it.  Bravo knows what it’s doing, cause 1 show ends & another show starts. Like a dealer, there was Bravo with a taste of another product & I was hooked. Then Vulture recaps led me to Ben & Ronnie and the Bravo world opened up wide. I’ve never looked back. My name is Melissa and I am a Bravoholic. 

Probably showing my age, but Inside the Actor’s Studio got me into Bravo. I was planning to be a theatre major in college so I watched almost every episode multiple times. After that it was Project Runway and the first season of Real Housewives of OC. I worked in a hair salon for one summer so I loved Blow Out, too. 

I think it was RHOC so imagine how disappointed I have been in recent years!  Lauri and that townhouse and the Playboy Mansion Party!  Vicky telling Brianna not to have sex on prom night!  Jeanna and her beyond dysfunctional family dynamic.  Girl those were the days!

I definitley watched Millionaire Matchmaker. OMG what a problematic show LOL. But I think the premiere of Real Housewives of Orange County sucked me in. I was a fan of Desperate Housewives at the time, and I was dying to see the "real" version of it. 

And I remember seeing WWHL for the first time in 2009. It felt very Wayne's World, like they were shooting the show from Andy's basement, but it was exciting and raw and gave us more content and conversation around Bravo, which, like, yes!

Started with Project Runway.  It was the only show I watched tbh.  Then the pandemic hit and memes got me into RHONY.  From there, it was RH reruns on Hulu followed by VPR, which is just *chef's kiss* with Kristen Doute's manic episodes in season 3.  Her obsession with Sandoval was insane and I loved every minute of it. 

I always find it sooo interesting when people say what show got them hooked on Bravo. Because once you fall for one, suddenly you're watching Sunday-Thursday programming, DVR-ing every WWHL! and following Bravo gossip accounts. 

My intro to Bravo was originally shows like Flipping Out and Millionaire Matchmaker. I would dip my toes in and out, and watch if they had a marathon on. But then, I found Real Housewives of Atlanta (season 1) and became obsessed. I was obsessed with Kim and Nene, Deshawn Snow thinking she can raise 1 million dollars, also Lisa's husband Ed... hot. I couldn't get enough.
