If you’ve started watching “The Real Housewives of Rhode Island” and found yourself doing a double take, you’re not alone. The newest Bravo franchise is already giving early “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” energy, but it may take a minute to tell everyone apart.
Between the shared Boston/Brooklyn accents and signature brunette looks, RHORI stars Jo-Ellen Tiberi, Liz McGraw, Ashley Iaconetti, Rosie DiMare, Kelsey Swanson, Alicia Carmody, and Rulla Nehme Pontarelli have a lot in common at first glance. Even Bravo insiders had a learning curve — and yes, Melissa Gorga reportedly struggled, too, while Dolores Catania spent time with the group as a “friend of.”
That’s where we come in. We created a quick cheat sheet to help you keep track of the RHORI ladies so you can focus on the drama, not the confusion.
“The Real Housewives of Rhode Island” airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo, with new episodes streaming the next day on Peacock.
