Please give me a drum roll!
You’ve been voting for weeks, and now it’s time to reveal who will be Virtual Reali-Tea’s first VRT award winner.
The champion, who chose hand by “VRT” podcast fans, runs range from reality TV veterans who have been obsessed with beginners who stole the screen (and our hearts) in 2025 for years.
All winner votes are counted, but there is time to buy tickets to celebrate their first VRT awards at City Winery in New York on September 17th.
“Virtual Reali-Tea” hosts Evan Real and Danny Murphy will be featured with special guests who will be performing at Candiace Dillard Bassett.
Winner: Faedra Parks
“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” Queen of Faedra Park wins the “Shade to Shade” award crown after years of iconic reading and pointed comeback.
From the fight of blowouts to the fierce reunion, the lawyers are always locked in, with one-liners that remain in the Bravo era for years to come.
Winner: Jogolga
Not only is Joe Gorga a great hype guy, he’s also “the most valuable plus one.” I’ve seen the “real housewife of New Jersey” staple hold the back of my wife Melissa for years on the show, so it’s time to give him flowers.
Winner: Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson
Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson’s viral “Dollars Scream Me” clip gave the best reign in the iconic one-liner. The reality star who saw us grow up on television appears to have been born for this award.
Winner: Andy Cohen
After almost 20 years of blessing our screens with his handsome looks and infectious charm, Andy Cohen has officially been named “Hot Tea of the Year.” As he said, “I’m a father of two, but for many, I’m a dad.”
Winner: Christine Cavalari
Christine Cavalari has been an IT girl in the reality television universe since her early debut with “Laguna Beach.” The rare James founder was able to overcome a controversial divorce and family feud to provide the ultimate comeback with her peacock series, “A Honestly Cavalari: Headline Tour.”
Most coveted closet
Winner: Dorit Kemsley
Do you want that? Dorit Kemsley’s Got It! Everyone is craving the star of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” including his Bravo co-stars.
Winner: Amaya Espinal
Amaya Espinal entered “Love Island USA” season 7 as a bomb ready to steal the hearts of male islanders, but she quickly stole the viewers. This is just the beginning of Espinal!
Winner: Jesse Ngatikaura
Jessi Ngatikaura has proven to be a true “boss baby” by running a thriving haircut business while appearing in “The Secret Life of a Mormon Wife” while raising three children. I’ve seen her turn JZ style from a small salon into a “Hair Empire” and sell her own products, expansions, educational courses and more.
Winners: Marysol Patton and Alexia Nepola
Marysol Patton and Alexia Nepola will be praised directly on September 17th at the “Virtual Reali-Tea” live show, but the award is appropriate as they have been BFF for 25 years. Ay por’s favorite!
What! It’s clearly a grand year for reality television, and the winners all deserve their flowers.
Don’t forget you can participate in Virtual Reali-Tea. You can celebrate selected winners and special guests by purchasing tickets at the NYC live event on September 17th.
