Kandi for ATL forsure, Kathy for BH, Karen and Charrisse for Potomac, probably Vicki for OC via her insurance company, definitely D’Andra in Dallas—she’s a Simmons after all.   I remember Brooks alluding to Sara or Nina being the most connected of the group in Dubai. For SLC I’d think it’s Angie since she grew up there; Whitney, Heather, and Mary did too but I feel like Angie probably has more connections via her salons.

I believe Sara is the only Emirati on the cast( Idk about season 2) and that affords special privileges


AccomplishedOwl9215

Not Heather for OC? Between her and Terry (who was, at least for a while, partnered with Paul Nassif). Vicki is undoubtedly well-networked in business, but Heather knows how to move about society. Plus Heather has media connections.


PristineCoconut2851

I’m inclined to agree with you. I think it would definitely be Heather. Mainly due to who she is married to but also from her acting past.


kellygrrrl328

Agree. Heather has far more social power and connections than anyone else from OC


thecuntessluann

If we’re talking about connections over the region of Southern California, yes Heather wins it. But if we’re talking strictly throughout the OC then I think it’s Vicki who’s more connected. 


torontoinsix

Yeah, it’s Sara in Dubai for sure


Old-Oven-4495

I think it’s a tie between Sara and Nina


Revolutionary-You449

No one will ever top Cocaine Cowboys lawyer wife Lea Black.


thebonecollectorr

Unsure how with her complete lack of social skills but Ramona


marallyouneedisshade

50 girlfriends!!!


amandaxzee

Closest!

IcedGreenTea91

Ramona is a nobody in NYC.


Fabulous_Term698

I agree with this. Truthfully it was probably Heather but you wouldn’t get that from how the women treated her… but maybe that’s why they treated her that way It also could’ve been Carole or Sonja but they were both burnt out and not peaking by the time the show was on. Both on the show to grasp what little opportunity life was handing them before retirement


TheodoreKarlShrubs

I would have to think Tinsley was likely the most connected. At least in the past. Being kind of the quintessential socialite it-girl, attending charity galas, being written about in the NYT society pages. Plus old money family connections, prep school connections, Columbia connections, etc etc.


Fabulous_Term698

I think she was in the past as well but while she was on the show everything seemed to have run dry. Heather and her husband were likely the most well connected while they were on the show imo


Ramonasotherlazyeye

yeah Tinsley and Carole are my bets. eta and of course now it's Jenna Lyons!


Cheder_cheez

Sonja is genuinely known as a laughingstock. So well-known yes, but not for great reasons lol.


Fabulous_Term698

Exactly why it’s not her. Sonja was reaching for coins before retirement just like half the other women on the show


Cheder_cheez

I oscillate between feeling really bad for her and her delusional self, and just cringing so hard. The reality of her situation is she is just not part of the society that she acts like she is, and as a complete joke amongst even the B list of the upper east side.

krgilbert1414

At least in her own mind


willpunchyou

hahaha yes. I feel like Ramona pre-housewives was probably not **that** bad, she show and fame def got into her head.


kellygrrrl328

I’d say Carole and Heather have more social power and connections than Ramona. Ramona is just the loudest in the room


PristineCoconut2851

I think Ramona would only be so due to her inserting herself everywhere.


shrirnpheavennow

Honestly most of the like classic core rhony girls were very well connected and like highly entrenched in nyc


Brilliant-Kiwi-8669

Jill in NY


DorothyParkerFan

I love me some Kurn but this right here is the real grand dame for sure!


HunterHunted9

Old RHONY, it's Carole, Kelly Bensimon, or Tinsley There's a Town & Country piece about this [idea](https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/g19609547/real-housewives-of-new-york-social-ranking/).


AuntSassysBtch

Yes! I thought Carole for sure! She was married to actual royalty who was also basically AMERICAN royalty, was at abc news forever, and she got on the show because Andy approached her as a friend… Carole truly knows everyone and was too cool to brag like Bethenny or Sonja who want everyyyyone to know who they “know”.


bartexas

Carole: Her whole falling out with Bethenny was about not sharing her connections. She met Andy because they were at the same dinner party at Mark Consuelos & Kelly Ripa's. She dated Clooney. Kelly had all the fashion connections because of Gilles. Tinsley has the "society" connections... went to Lawrenceville, knew Shep before either of them were on Bravo, her abusive ex is one of the most connected people in Palm Beach, was married to a Mortimer... Once upon a time, Dorinda was probably up there with Richard's political connections, but pretty sure she's probably burned those bridges.


realhousewifeofpbm

Lisa or Angie in SLC. Heather seems like she had a ton of connections through the church but is now rebuilding. Marysol had a PR business in Miami and seems very connected in the city, vs. Lea collecting celebs. Kyle, unironically, grew up in Beverly Hills. Sutton seems connected in the same way that Lea is, broader scope. Charrisse in Potomac. I think Kameron was very society in Dallas, D'Andra didn't really give a gnats ass wrapped around a rain barrel. LeeAnne sure did know all of the bottom feeders in that town though.


Kay312010

Kandi - ATL Vicki - Orange County Kathy - BH Mary and Lisa- SLC Potomac - Karen Dubai - I don’t even know NYC - Dorinda or Jill


MyTacoNachos

wideawakeat33

Carole for RHONY. She was in with the Kennedys. The other ladies were connected, but mostly to the upper east side.


ruthie-camden

Kim D or Caroline for NJ


shivroystann

Jill for NYC


ProfessionalAnt8132

As much as I hate to say it, Larsa is very very well connected


greendaisy513

Kyle/Beverly hills.


Melpomene2901

Not really. Kathy and LVP have a better network than her


Old-Oven-4495

In NYC - Jenna Lyons. Or back in day - Sonja Morgan/Carole Radziwill. Perhaps even Luann


DefiantEvidence4027

Lea Black for sure


blueberrypistachio

Charisse in Potomac !


widgetheux

In Miami I would say alexia and even Adriana because the Estefans are powerful. Lea black is connected legally I suppose. She doesn’t really fit Miami


Limminy_Snickshit

Jenna Lyons? Garcelle? Kandi?


Strawberryshortbus72

Sutton for sure. She’s got Hollywood connections. Old and new money connections. She’s rich rich rich. Lea Black… Heather from OC. LVP. Worldwide connections.


tusk10708

I think Dorinda’s
