Housewives Who Need to Make a Comeback

Teddi Mellencamp will not be returning to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for season 11. The news comes after controversy around Teddi Mellencamp's accountability program where several members spoke out about the harsh expectations. Some alleged that they were restricted to 500-1000 calories a day, and would be kicked out if they didn't stick to the rules. Yikes — we're thinking Teddi should take some time to think about why she's being fired before making a comeback.

She took to Instagram to confirm and give her response to the news. “Of course, when I got the news I was sad,” she said. “It feels like a breakup almost because you develop such strong relationships with the cast, with the crew, and you get to do incredible things that you probably never get to experience without, you know, the show. That being said, I’m really looking forward to the future and being able to focus on my family, my friends, All In.”

After six sweet seasons, Dorinda Medley has decided it's time to call it. “What a journey this has been. I have laughed and cried and tried to Make it Nice,” Dorinda said in a Facebook post. “But all things must come to an end. This was a great outlet for me to heal when my late husband Richard passed away. I have met so many interesting people and learned so much about myself, about life and about women along the way.” <br></br> We'll miss this truth-telling tough girl. Here's hoping she makes a comeback sooner than later.

We were hoping we would never have to add Lisa Vanderpump to this list, but alas, here we are. After season nine of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Lisa Vanderpump had had enough of her castmates and walked away from the show. Considering LVP was the star of the show, we can't imagine RHOBH without her.

This self-proclaimed "bone collector" was known for spreading secretive information throughout the group. Yes, it was annoying for the ladies of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, but it was oh-so-entertaining for us watch. Every Real Housewives franchise needs a Sheree Whitfield.

Aviva Drescher gave us one of the most memorable moments in Real Housewives history when she slammed her prosthetic leg on a table during an argument. We stan a housewife who isn't afraid to take dramatic to the next level.

Phaedra Parks was put to shame in the season nine reunion of The Real Housewives of Atlanta when it was exposed that she started a nasty rumour accusing Kandi Burruss of sexual harassment. Phaedra seemed to go into hiding after that and hasn't been seen on the show since. Even though Phaedra took the lying and trash-talking a bit too far, we do miss her quick one-liners and her southern charm.

Katie Rost first appeared on the mega-successful first season of The Real Housewives of Potomac as a socialite itching to get married to her longtime boyfriend. The Katie we saw in season one and the Katie we saw make guest appearances in season four seemed like completely different people. We need a run-down of what Katie has been up to since leaving the show, why she's become more free-spirited, and if she's any closer to getting that wedding ring she so desired.

Yolanda Hadid was one of the realest Real Housewives of Beverly Hills to ever grace the show. Unafraid to call out hypocrisy, lies, and inconsiderate behaviour, this tough cookie didn't take anything laying down. We'd love to see her again to get an update on her battle with lime disease and life as mom to two of the highest-paid models in the world.

Jeana is one of the OGs of the entire Housewives franchise. Since she departed from the show, she’s made semi-regular appearances, but we’d love to see her back full-time. Jeana has back bone like no other – she is not one to mess with.

Jill’s first two season on RHONY were legendary. She fell from grace when she squared off against Bethenny, but she is still one of the greats. Plus, she’s still friends with lots of the New York women (she was at Lu’s wedding!), and who wouldn’t want to see Jill vs. Bethenny round two?

We never thought we’d say this but...we kind of miss Alex. Carole has taken her position as the calm voice of reason on RHONY, but now that Alex lives in New Zealand, we want what we can’t have. She needs to pack up those Herman Munster shoes and pay NY a visit, stat.

Nene is right up there with Bethenny and Lisa Vanderpump as one of the greatest Housewives of all time. When she left RHOA, we figured she’d still be back for guest appearances and were greatly disappointed. Come on, Nene. Come back home, where you belong!

Say it isn't so. RHONY favourite Bethenny Frankel has confirmed that she's leaving the long-running show to focus on family and her growing business ventures. "It's time to move on and focus on my daughter, my philanthropy and my production partnership with Mark Burnett, producing and starring in shows which represent a shift in the conversation for women," she said in her statement. We can't argue with that.

Kim’s remained on our TV screens with 'Don’t Be Tardy,' but that doesn’t quite fill our Kim craving. As a Housewife, Kim knew how to mix it up, and had some epic fights. Bringing her back to RHOA would certainly shake up the cast.

We always felt Claudia didn’t get her fair shake on RHOA. She had all the makings of a great Housewife, including the confidence to go toe to toe with Nene. We’d love to see her get a second shot at the show.

Caroline was the den mother of RHONJ and we still miss seeing her on the show. Plenty has changed since Caroline was last on RHONJ and we’d love to see how she’d fit into the mix alongside newcomers like Siggy and Dolores.

Danielle is one of the most controversial Housewives ever. She was the one who sparked the fight that led Teresa to her infamous table flip! But now her and Teresa are friends again (!!) and we would absolutely love to see that reconciliation play out on screen.

Camille started off on RHOBH as a total villain, but earned our empathy following her nasty divorce with Kelsey Grammer. She has done one of the most admirable Housewives turnarounds ever in terms in of likability. We get a little Camille here and there on BH, but we want more. MORE!!!!

By the end of her run on RHOBH, Brandi had become far too “unfiltered.” But we miss the way she was able to turn a room into total chaos with one off-colour remark. It was fascinating to watch all the mayhem she created.

Like her fellow one season wonder, Claudia, we felt Carlton never got a fair go at RHOBH. There was too much talk about her being Wiccan, and not enough about her extravagant lifestyle or her hot husband. Carlton deserves a second shot on our televisions.

Lea was well on her way to OG status alongside Nene, Lisa V and Bethenny when RHOM ended. From immense wealth to a rolodex of celebrity friends, Lea has everything we love to see in a Housewife. Maybe she should move to Beverly Hills?
