When it comes to the most iconic Vanderpump Rules moments, there are almost too many to choose from. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills spinoff is currently in its eighth season, though the show is now more about the SURvers’ moving up in the real estate ladder than what’s going down next to dumpster out back. That said, there is a reason why this hit series is the Shakespeare of our times — from such iconic Vanderpump Rules moments as Stassi slapping her bestie Kristen to James Kennedy not-so-soberly explaining, “IT’S NOT ABOUT THE PASTA!”
After nearly a decade on the air, the SURvers are still delivering the drama like it’s Lisa’s piping hot tea so we anticipate there will be plenty more iconic Vanderpump Rules moments for years to come. For now though, here’s a reminder of the best ones in the order of when they happened in the historical canon.
