“We didn’t just manufacture a reality show by pulling people from left field,” Vanderpump explained.
We’d say that’s an understatement.
“Vanderpump Rules” has gifted us some of the most legendary GIFS and quotes in reality television history.

Schroeder ended things with Taylor by drinking all of his champagne and kicking him out of their shared apartment.
The revelation left Schroeder (and the audience) reeling due to Taylor’s sociopathic-level lying abilities.
The bombshell also secured the series another season.

Taylor and Doute shut down the rumor through their favorite form of defense: denial (viaYouTube.)
Almost everyone in the cast chose to ignore this piece of juicy gossip, except Schroeder.
However, his pleas were lost in translation, and Doute responded by offering to break up with Kennedy.

Sandoval believed Doute had moved on, whereas she was convinced he still had feelings for her.
It would be another few seasons before Doute had truly moved on and accepted Madix as a friend.
In fact, the old rivals have now morphed into friendship goals (viaInstagram.)

A perfect fit for this band of West Hollywood misfits!
Season 3 concluded with a dramatic fight between Kennedy and Kristen Doute at cast mate Scheana Shay’s wedding.
In the moment, Doute did make some eerie predictions about Kennedy’s future storylines (viaYouTube.)

The argument ended with Kennedy hocking a loogie at Doute’s door.
From the pilot episode on, Shay was bullied by cast mates Schroeder, Maloney, and Doute.
Unfortunately, Shay could never one-up them in a fight.

That is, until Season 5, when the women traded barbs at a pool party (viaYouTube.)
before exiting and leaving the women (and viewers) in her dust.
The power-move showed off Shay’s maturity by refusing to engage.

Shout out to growth!
Doute had determined that Schwartz cheated on Maloney on a prior trip to Vegas.
He’s a f***ing battered wife!"

The somberness of the allegations of adultery contrasted by the men in drag left viewers in stitches.
Jax Taylor cheated on Brittany Cartwright with Faith Stowers
Jax Taylor is no angel.
Unfortunately, tigers don’t change their stripes that easily.
Season 6 premiered to reveal that Taylor had put another notch in his bedpost via former cast memberFaith Stowers.
The rumor made waves during Shay’s birthday party after Stowers confided in Kennedy about the affair.
Kennedy was quick to let fellow cast mates know about Taylor’s infidelity.
(viaYouTube), Cartwright ignored the gaslighting and eventually got to the truth.
It’s hard to believe this show has given us eight seasons worth of drama.
