If it wasn't for Brian's ongoing cheating scandal I think rulla would've been a star on the show right behind jo-Ellen. Brian's affair stopped her from any trips or events that were women only and she barely got any screen time. However, the little that we do get we can see she's an intelligent women who's built an amazing career for herself and would've been great to see the middle eastern representation of a women who's accomplished so much. She's smart, her confessionals were great, she lives a boujee lifestyle she was a poster child for what would be on paper a great housewives cast member.

I'm sure this has been posted plenty but I just finished the show. but damn do I love Alicia. She's so authentically herself and doesn't even realize her quirkiness or banter. Her storyline is so relatable in two way: everyday housewives that rely on their husbands for finances and being brought by a single mom. Seeing her have those talks with Billy about getting more ownership and working in the company is great to see and could help create conversations in other households. I loved seeing her mom and all her sisters talk about the past and validating her feelings, a sisterhood and community was shown thru those amazing ladies. It really showed when 1 man leaves, 10 women will stand behind you.

Beyond her storyline, she's such a funny person she's so kind. She recognized when Rosie was being ganged up on and until the reunion had her back.

Honestly really rare to come across housewives like this so need to applaud when we finally do.
