After six rounds of heated competition, which whittled the race from 64 ladies to just two finalists, we've finally learned who the ultimate star of The Real Housewives franchise is! In the final round, it was Real Housewives of Orange County newbie Shannon Beador up against original Real Housewives of New Jersey star Caroline Manzo, who landed her own spinoff, Manzo'd With Children.

Hundreds of thousands of you voted, and Shannon Beador was voted Best Housewife Ever. The mother and wife scored 59 percent of the votes, according to E!.

Shannon was up against her fellow OC star Vicki Gunvalson in the second-to-last round, which also featured Kenya Moore from Real Housewives of Atlanta.

Shannon posted a thank you to her fans on Instagram Monday night. "I am so thankful for everyone who has voted for me in the last few weeks! Completely overwhelming! I ♥you all!!! You rock!!!"
