Bravo & Cocktails Award for Shadiest Comment 2025

Cocktailers showed up in overwhelming numbers to vote for the Bravo & Cocktails Award for Funniest Scene of 2025, and for the first time this awards season, the race was actually close. With laugh-out-loud moments spread across multiple franchises, fans had plenty to choose from — and they made it clear that comedy gold doesn’t belong to just one show.

This year’s nominees brought humor in very different ways. The list included Shannon Beador being hilariously high while hearing the “Real Housewives of Orange County” theme music in Amsterdam, Shep Rose’s painfully embarrassing “freckle mouth” text to Sienna — and the absolutely brutal reactions from Austen Kroll and Craig Conover on “Southern Charm” — plus the chaotic crossover between “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” and “Below Deck Down Under.”

Also in the mix were Chanel Ayan’s BravoCon red carpet interviews, particularly her unforgettable exchange with Austen, which instantly became meme material.

Unlike other categories, this one stayed tight until the end. In a major shakeup, the top honor did not go to “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.” Instead, Chanel’s BravoCon interviews pulled ahead with an overwhelming share of the vote, narrowly edging out the RHOSLC crossover and Shannon’s Amsterdam moment, which finished second and third, respectively.

Bravo & Cocktails fans praised Chanel’s quick wit, unfiltered delivery, and ability to turn every interaction into a moment. It was effortless, chaotic, and peak Bravo humor — and Cocktailers rewarded it accordingly.
