Nene and Kim's showdown

Another wild, ridiculous season of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" is coming to a close, and what better way to celebrate than to look back at the housewives' most ridic moments? The ladies worked stripper poles, threw "independence parties," pulled wigs, commissioned self-portraits, debuted fashion lines ... really, is there anything an Atlanta housewife can't do? Or better yet, won't do? Be sure to tune in to the season finale of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" on Bravo at 10pm tonight for more ridiculous moments, but check out our top 10 so far:

 

10. Dwight Works It in Heels
Which Atlanta wife has the best legs? Easy -- Dwight. More commonly known as NeNe's gay boyfriend, Dwight not only has better legs than his co-wives, but he also knows better than anyone how to show them off. At NeNe's charity event, "Heel the Soul," Dwight proved he could work it and work out in high heels.

 

9. Kim's a No-Show
As one viewer pointed out, Kandi handed Kim a hit single on "a platinum friendship platter," so you'd think Kim would be ready and willing to return the favor. But the blond bombshell was mysteriously absent for Kandi's live debut of "Fly Above." After all her preaching about punctuality, Kim was still tardy for the party.

 

8. NeNe's Daddy Drama
After a first season filled with daddy drama and disappointing DNA tests, NeNe finally met face-to-face with her biological father. At the big father-daughter reveal, you could almost hear Maury Povich yelling, "The paternity tests are in. Allan ... you are the father!"

 

7. Sheree's Independence Party
Sheree threw herself an "independence party," and no, that's not like a Fourth of July backyard barbecue -- it's a celebration of one's single status, complete with the unveiling of a larger-than-life profile portrait.

 

6. Tardy Drops
Kim's come a long way from moaning off-key scales with her vocal coach in Season 1. But can Kim actually sing? Who cares! According to Kandi, becoming a singer and having a hit single are two verrry different things. Kim's dance anthem "Tardy for the Party" transformed from big joke to big hit, complete with a catchy hook and Auto-Tune work that would blow T-Pain away.

 

5. Alter Egos
The ladies had the opportunity to embrace their wild side in an alter-ego photo shoot. NeNe "played" a stripper, but the real shocker was her vision for Kim's shoot. Even Kim realized going blackface would probably be crossing a line, so she wisely chose to be a mistress. "So typical, Kim. A mistress," said NeNe, rolling her eyes. Sorry NeNe, but we're with Kim on this one.

 

4. Wig Party
There's no such thing as a casual get-together when you're a Real Housewife. The ladies throw independence parties, single-release parties, alter-ego reveal parties, and (in Kim's case) try-on-a-hairpiece parties. Things went sour when NeNe got her hands on a blond wig, which inspired a rather harsh (and never-ending) Kim Zolciak impression. It was A Hairpiece to Remember for all the guests.

 

3. Kim's Party Foul
Dwight can carry himself gracefully in heels, but Kim? Not so much. After she took a tumble at the alter-ego party, several male guests offered to haul the bruised and bloodied Housewife around for the rest of the evening. Kim moaned tragically the entire time, and NeNe was genuinely concerned ... concerned that Kim was stealing the spotlight.

 

2. Who Gonna Check Me, Boo?
"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" started off with a bang (or, as NeNe might say, a bam!) when Sheree and a party planner came to blows in the second season's premiere. Sheree accused party planner Anthony of doing a shoddy job, Anthony accused Sheree of being, um, a b----, and the rest is slap-happy history. We learned two things: Don't put your finger in a Housewife's face, and don't slack on party planning. Housewives taking partying very seriously.

 

1. Wig Pulls
The ladies have tried using their words ("trashy," "hooker," and "trashbox" come to mind), but when words don't work, what's Sheree Whitfield's next move? Street fight. Smackdown. Wig pull. Kim, Sheree, and NeNe's epic fight is ridic enough, but throw a random Michael Lohan appearance in the mix, and, well, that's just reality-TV gold.
