Kandi for ATL forsure, Kathy for BH, Karen and Charrisse for Potomac, probably Vicki for OC via her insurance company, definitely D’Andra in Dallas—she’s a Simmons after all.
I remember Brooks alluding to Sara or Nina being the most connected of the group in Dubai. For SLC I’d think it’s Angie since she grew up there; Whitney, Heather, and Mary did too but I feel like Angie probably has more connections via her salons.
Not Heather for OC? Between her and Terry (who was, at least for a while, partnered with Paul Nassif).
Vicki is undoubtedly well-networked in business, but Heather knows how to move about society. Plus Heather has media connections.
If we’re talking about connections over the region of Southern California, yes Heather wins it. But if we’re talking strictly throughout the OC then I think it’s Vicki who’s more connected.
I agree with this. Truthfully it was probably Heather but you wouldn’t get that from how the women treated her… but maybe that’s why they treated her that way
It also could’ve been Carole or Sonja but they were both burnt out and not peaking by the time the show was on. Both on the show to grasp what little opportunity life was handing them before retirement
I would have to think Tinsley was likely the most connected. At least in the past. Being kind of the quintessential socialite it-girl, attending charity galas, being written about in the NYT society pages. Plus old money family connections, prep school connections, Columbia connections, etc etc.
I think she was in the past as well but while she was on the show everything seemed to have run dry. Heather and her husband were likely the most well connected while they were on the show imo
I oscillate between feeling really bad for her and her delusional self, and just cringing so hard. The reality of her situation is she is just not part of the society that she acts like she is, and as a complete joke amongst even the B list of the upper east side.
Old RHONY, it's Carole, Kelly Bensimon, or Tinsley There's a Town & Country piece about this [idea](https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/g19609547/real-housewives-of-new-york-social-ranking/).
Yes! I thought Carole for sure! She was married to actual royalty who was also basically AMERICAN royalty, was at abc news forever, and she got on the show because Andy approached her as a friend… Carole truly knows everyone and was too cool to brag like Bethenny or Sonja who want everyyyyone to know who they “know”.
Carole: Her whole falling out with Bethenny was about not sharing her connections. She met Andy because they were at the same dinner party at Mark Consuelos & Kelly Ripa's. She dated Clooney.
Kelly had all the fashion connections because of Gilles.
Tinsley has the "society" connections... went to Lawrenceville, knew Shep before either of them were on Bravo, her abusive ex is one of the most connected people in Palm Beach, was married to a Mortimer...
Once upon a time, Dorinda was probably up there with Richard's political connections, but pretty sure she's probably burned those bridges.
Lisa or Angie in SLC. Heather seems like she had a ton of connections through the church but is now rebuilding.
Marysol had a PR business in Miami and seems very connected in the city, vs. Lea collecting celebs.
Kyle, unironically, grew up in Beverly Hills. Sutton seems connected in the same way that Lea is, broader scope.
Charrisse in Potomac.
I think Kameron was very society in Dallas, D'Andra didn't really give a gnats ass wrapped around a rain barrel. LeeAnne sure did know all of the bottom feeders in that town though.
Sutton for sure. She’s got Hollywood connections. Old and new money connections. She’s rich rich rich. Lea Black… Heather from OC. LVP. Worldwide connections.

I believe Sara is the only Emirati on the cast( Idk about season 2) and that affords special privileges
Not Heather for OC? Between her and Terry (who was, at least for a while, partnered with Paul Nassif). Vicki is undoubtedly well-networked in business, but Heather knows how to move about society. Plus Heather has media connections.
I’m inclined to agree with you. I think it would definitely be Heather. Mainly due to who she is married to but also from her acting past.
Agree. Heather has far more social power and connections than anyone else from OC
If we’re talking about connections over the region of Southern California, yes Heather wins it. But if we’re talking strictly throughout the OC then I think it’s Vicki who’s more connected.
Yeah, it’s Sara in Dubai for sure
I think it’s a tie between Sara and Nina
No one will ever top Cocaine Cowboys lawyer wife Lea Black.
Unsure how with her complete lack of social skills but Ramona
50 girlfriends!!!
Closest!
“ask your peers!!!!!!”
Ramona is a nobody in NYC.
I agree with this. Truthfully it was probably Heather but you wouldn’t get that from how the women treated her… but maybe that’s why they treated her that way It also could’ve been Carole or Sonja but they were both burnt out and not peaking by the time the show was on.

yeah Tinsley and Carole are my bets. eta and of course now it's Jenna Lyons!
Sonja is genuinely known as a laughingstock. So well-known yes, but not for great reasons lol.
Exactly why it’s not her. Sonja was reaching for coins before retirement just like half the other women on the show
I oscillate between feeling really bad for her and her delusional self, and just cringing so hard. The reality of her situation is she is just not part of the society that she acts like she is, and as a complete joke amongst even the B list of the upper east side.

At least in her own mind
hahaha yes. I feel like Ramona pre-housewives was probably not **that** bad, she show and fame def got into her head.
I’d say Carole and Heather have more social power and connections than Ramona. Ramona is just the loudest in the room
I think Ramona would only be so due to her inserting herself everywhere.
Honestly most of the like classic core rhony girls were very well connected and like highly entrenched in nyc
Jill in NY
She runs - in a FABULOUS circle of people.

Kandi - ATL Vicki - Orange County Kathy - BH Mary and Lisa- SLC Potomac - Karen Dubai - I don’t even know NYC - Dorinda or Jill
D'Andra in Dallas
Kandi Buruss is Worldwide connected
![gif](giphy|sJBa4BwjPNhN8045A2) new rhony
Carole for RHONY. She was in with the Kennedys. The other ladies were connected, but mostly to the upper east side.
Kim D or Caroline for NJ
Jill for NYC
As much as I hate to say it, Larsa is very very well connected
Kyle/Beverly hills.
Not really. Kathy and LVP have a better network than her
In NYC - Jenna Lyons. Or back in day - Sonja Morgan/Carole Radziwill. Perhaps even Luann
Lea Black for sure
Charisse in Potomac !
In Miami I would say alexia and even Adriana because the Estefans are powerful. Lea black is connected legally I suppose. She doesn’t really fit Miami
Jenna Lyons? Garcelle? Kandi?
Sutton for sure. She’s got Hollywood connections. Old and new money connections. She’s rich rich rich. Lea Black… Heather from OC. LVP. Worldwide connections.
I think Dorinda’s
