Cocktailers showed up, showed out, and made their feelings very clear. The first-ever Bravo & Cocktails Award for Biggest BEC of 2025 is officially in the books — and the votes were tight. For the uninitiated, a BEC (Bitch Eating Crackers) is that one Bravo personality who could literally just exist and still irritate you. Breathing? Annoying. Eating crackers? Infuriating.

With an overwhelming amount of responses submitted, fans weighed in on who pushed their buttons the most this year, and while it was a close race between several familiar names, one Housewife ultimately claimed the crown.

BEC Award Results: Bravo Fans Make Their Pick

The nominees included Britani Bateman from “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City,” Lisa Barlow from RHOSLC, Gretchen Rossi and Alexis Bellino from “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” Scheana Shay from “Vanderpump Rules” and “The Valley,” Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” and Julia Lemigova from “The Real Housewives of Miami.”

Amanda’s longtime, day-one BEC Scheana Shay was a strong contender, but the race ultimately came down to Scheana, Gretchen, Lisa, and Alexis.

In the end, Cocktailers crowned Alexis Bellino as the inaugural Bravo & Cocktails BEC winner for 2025.
