After a lengthy hiatus, Bravo’s Real Housewives of Atlanta is officially back with new faces joining the cast and the return of some fan favorites, leaving viewers hoping the series can recapture the must-see status of its heyday.

With season 16 now underway, the majority of fans are wondering if the once-highest-rated show on Bravo can reclaim its former glory of instantly quotable lines, shade-filled reads, and meme-worthy moments.

Which got us to thinking — if this season’s cast doesn’t live up to the hype of the show’s past, we have a few Atlanta-based ladies we think would make great peach-holders. Keep swiping for our fantasy cast!

Cardi B, 32, is officially in her ex-wife era, as she has once again filed for divorce from her husband rapper Offset and publicly dating new love interests. The Bronx native is no stranger to reality TV — after all, she got her start on Love & Hip: New York as the breakout star with iconic one-liners and scene-stealing shenanigans.

The mom of three always keeps it real and knows exactly what it takes to make must-see TV. We predict she wouldn’t pull any punches with the ladies, but hopefully, not throw any either! Needless to say, Cardi would effortlessly rise to the ranks as Queen Bee…giving fans plenty of reasons to gag!

2. Monica

Monica, 44, tried her hand at reality TV in 2009 with one season of BET’s Monica: Still Standing. But since then, the Miss Thang singer has shied away from the reality TV spotlight except for some appearances on T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustleand The Voice.

As a born-and-bred Atlanta native, adding Monica to the cast would ensure that all the inside scoop of the city is represented because she knows everyone! However, as her fans well know, it doesn’t take much for “Goonica” to make an appearance and set the girls straight.

3. Toya Wright

New Orleans native Toya Wright is rapper Lil Wayne’s ex-wife and the mother of his first-born child Reginae Carter. For years now, the 41-year-old has been a member of Atlanta’s inner circle hanging out with the city’s power players — meaning she will fit right in on RHOA.

We’ve already seen Toya’s calm demeanor on other reality TV shows like Toya: A Family Affair and Tiny and Toya alongside another Georgia peach on our list. We think Toya would be a great contrast to the bigger personalities and help diffuse altercations that get too out of hand.

4. Tamar Braxton

Tamar Braxton, 47, specializes in creating reality TV gold…periodt! She’s appeared on numerous shows like Queens Court, College Hill: Celebrity Edition, Celebrity Big Brother 2, where she won the competition, and, most recently, Cooking Sessions With Tamar & Ms. E.

With a fully stacked reality TV resume, it’s no surprise Tamar has already been asked to join RHOA multiple times. But if you need further proof, refer to Braxton Family Values where she steals the show with nonstop laughs, impromptu songs, and iconic confessional interviews.

There is never a dull moment with Tay Tay on screen, and that’s exactly what the Atlanta franchise needs after fans have suffered through the last several seasons of boredom.

5. Mariah Huq

The early days of Bravo’s other Atlanta-based reality show, Married To Medicine, were the best and that’s largely because of the show’s executive producer and original cast member Mariah Huq, 46. Very few in The A can throw shade (actually whole trees) with Southern charm like Mariah.

The wife of a successful emergency physician she is well-connected with the city’s elite medical community, which would give the ladies a different view of Atlanta. Oh, and she always brings the receipts!

6. Keri Hilson

Although Keri Hilson, 42, may be in her acting bag these days with appearances in movies like Almost Christmas and Ruined, the “Pretty Girl Rock” singer still frequents the Atlanta scene.

The Decatur-born diva is already friends with RHOA alum Kandii Burress and others on our fantasy cast list, including Eudoxie Bridges. So, she could easily fit right in with both the singers and the socialites of our dream team.

7. Tiny Harris

Since long-time RHOA cast member Kandi Burruss has officially handed in her peach, who better to pick it up than her bestie and Xscape group member Tiny Harris?

Tiny has already starred in several reality shows such as SWV & Xscape: The Queens of R&B, T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle, and T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle with her husband rapper T.I. and their seven children.

The 49-year-old knows everyone in the city and moves in high-profile circles. Besides, there’s a bit of messy drama between her and a few other ladies on our list.

8. Keshia Knight Pulliam

Keshia Knight Pulliam, 45, has been famous forever and has a special place in the hearts of fans who grew up watching her as the precocious Rudy Huxtable on the iconic sitcom The Cosby Show.

No stranger to reality TV, the mom of two competed on season 7 of The Celebrity Apprentice and Celebrity Big Brother in 2018. She’s a beloved Atlanta native, so we think she would be the perfect person to play peacemaker when the ladies inevitably get too rowdy.

9. Keyshia Ka’Oir

Jamaican-born Keyshia Ka’Oir is a business owner and the wife of rapper Gucci Mane. The 40-year-old gave viewers a glimpse of her reality TV chops when she starred in BET’s Gucci Mane and Keyshia Ka’Oir: The Mane Event in 2017.

RHOA would be the perfect platform for her to showcase her various business ventures and no-nonsense personality. We think she could bring some Caribbean heat to RHOA like dancehall star Spice does on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta.

10. Eudoxie Bridges

Rapper Ludacris is one of the biggest and loudest names to come out of Atlanta, so it makes perfect sense that the wife of The Mouf Of The South, Eudoxie Bridges, 38, would claim her peach.

The proud Gabonese native moved to the U.S. as a teen only knowing three English words so her worldly perspective would be a refreshing change for the show. She is also friends with a few other ladies on our list so we’re sure she’d bring the “Southern Hospitality.”
