The Real Housewives: The 10 Best One-Season Cast Members

On The Real Housewivessometimes it's not about being around for a long time—it's about being around for a good time. Of course, Bravo fans pay respect to the OGs, but there's something to be said about those cast members who were in and out in just one season. After all, it takes a lot to leave a lasting impression in just a handful of episodes.

Some franchises seem to be more prone to one-season wonders. The Real Housewives of Atlantafor example, has had four one-season Housewives. Or, in the case of The Real Housewives of DCeveryone was technically a one-season Housewife. From coast to coast, these are the one-season cast members who have made the biggest impact on Housewives fans.

10 Claudia Jordan

Introduced on RHOA as a friend of Kenya Moore, Claudia Jordan made quite an impression in Season 7. The scene where she mercilessly read Nene Leakes, comparing her hair to a bag of ramen noodles, is unforgettable. In fact, most of her time on the show was characterized by her fights with Nene, which never ended well for anyone.

Since her unceremonious exit from RHOA, Claudia has maintained a presence on television as a talk show host on Fox Soul. Although it seems like her reality TV days might be behind her, there are many fans still holding out hope that she may one day make a return to The Real Housewives. 

9 Amber Marchese

Season 6 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey had three one-season Housewives. Two of them were the twins, Nicole Napolitano and Teresa Aprea. But the most memorable one-season Housewife from that season was Amber Marchese.

Amber and her husband, Jim, were always involved in drama with the rest of the cast; it made for some top-tier reality TV moments. She ultimately left the show after one season, but she continues to make headlines by calling out her former castmates in the press.

8 Kim Fields

It's not every day that a beloved actress joins the ranks of The Real Housewives, but it happened on RHOA in Season 8 when Kim Fields joined the group. It was the first season following Nene Leakes' original departure from the show, so Kim had some pretty big shoes to fill as a newbie. Ultimately, she didn't vibe with the cast—especially Kenya Moore.

Although Kim's time on the show was short-lived, it stands out as a unique moment in the franchise. She definitely made Season 8 memorable in its own way, but it's probably best that she shifted back to scripted television rather than reality TV.

7 Tiffany Hendra

Tiffany Hendra was the one OG from The Real Housewives of Dallas that didn't stick around for a second season. She spent most of her time on the show trying to keep the peace between LeeAnne Locken and the rest of the women of the Dallas charity world. Sometimes she was successful; most of the time, she wasn't. Still, as an original cast member, she'll always be an important part of the show.

Since exiting the reality TV world, Tiffany launched a life coaching program. She's still best friends with LeeAnne, and fans can always catch them on Instagram, sharing pictures from their latest adventures together.

6 Larsa Pippen

When fans think of The Real Housewives of Miami, Larsa Pippen might not be the first person to come to mind. However, she's an iconic one-season Housewife because of her ability to stay in the headlines. Whether it's rumors about her dating life or her feud with the Kardashians, Larsa is always being talked about. She even popped up in an episode of Selling Sunset

The upcoming reboot of RHOM could potentially change her status as a one-season cast member, considering there have been reports that she'll be making a return. Even if she doesn't come back in a full-time capacity, it's only a matter of time before she pops up somewhere else.

5 Jules Wainstein

A friend of Dorinda Medley, Jules Wainstein brought a down-to-Earth personality and an adorable family to The Real Housewives of New York City. Unfortunately, she spent most of the season at odds with Bethenny Frankel. One of her most memorable scenes is when she pranked Bethenny by baking kitchen utensils into her calzone. The prank did not go over well, which is what makes the scene so funny and bizarre.

While the season was airing, fans were shocked when Jules announced she was divorcing her husband due to a cheating scandal. She left the show to focus on her young children in the aftermath. Fans can't help but wonder what RHONY would have looked like had she stuck around a little longer.

4 Katie Rost

As an original cast member, Katie Rost helped set the pace for the shade-throwing shenanigans of The Real Housewives of Potomac

She was so memorable during her time on the show that many fans were disappointed that she didn't return for a second season. Luckily, she's made a few scene-stealing appearances since exiting the show, but fans are always ready for a little bit more Katie.

3 Shamari DeVoe

RHOA fans were bummed when Shamari DeVoe didn't return to the show for Season 12. Of course, there are some big personalities to compete with. However, she still had some iconic moments: competing in a sing-off against Kandi Buruss, vomiting in Nene Leakes' bathroom, bringing Eva Marcille a Zara gift card to the reunion.

She's no longer on Bravo, but her time on reality TV isn't over yet. She's currently starring in BET's The Encore, where she's joining other former girl group members to form a supergroup.

2 Carlton Gebbia

Carlton Gebbia is unforgettable because she's the only self-proclaimed witch to appear on The Real Housewives of Beverly HillsShe clashed with Kyle Richards throughout Season 4, and to this day, Kyle is convinced her costar hexed her.

After leaving RHOBH, Gebbia went through a divorce and became entangled in some legal issues when her housekeeper sued her. Reflecting on her exit from the show, she told E! News that it was a "blessing in disguise."

1 Cindy Barshop

When Bethenny Frankel left RHONY after Season 3, there was a huge hole in the cast. Bravo tried to fill that hole with Cindy Barshop in Season 4, but it didn't work. Although she didn't stick around for long, Cindy deserves her props for holding her own against Ramona Singer and suffering through Sonja Morgan's speech about respecting the "pecking order."

It's hard to believe that's it's been a decade since she was last on TV. Since then, she's been busy raising her twins and scaling her business. She's the owner of a women's health spa called VSPOT Medi Spa. Last year, she announced plans for a third location.
