When a woman joins one of Bravo's Real Housewives shows, her life gets flipped and turned upside down. Gone are her drama-free days of anonymity. Here to stay are the legions of obsessive fans and the public feuds with co-stars. But each housewife's road after joining the franchise is not created equal. For a unique few, they come to define their given city. And their story is one that, for better or worse, you couldn't make up no matter how hard you try.
