One of my favorite things to do is retroactively watch episodes of now-famous reality TV shows. Particularly the Kardashians and The Real Housewives. I love seeing how the women have drastically changed their appearances since becoming bona-fide(ish) celebrities. The more money they get, the more "work" they've had done. Nose jobs, boob jobs, lipo, hair extensions, veneers. You name it, they've done it. Well, some of them have done it. And although I hate to admit it, because it's a little bit like cheating -- they look great.

Here are 6 shocking before and after shots of the most drastic Real Housewife transformations. Season 1 is nothing but a distant memory for these ladies.
