Lisa Rinna became a cast member on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in season 5, and her episodes have been endearing and family-focused along with dramatic and tension-filled. While she fought with Kim Richards and Denise Richards in recent seasons and questioned Yolanda Hadid’s Lyme Disease, she has also shown that she’s a loyal friend to Erika Girardi on season 11.

From light-hearted scenes that show Lisa’s fabulous lifestyle to more intense moments with her co-stars, Lisa Rinna’s most memorable RHOBH episodes show that she’s a staple of the cast. Viewers might not always agree with her but they always want to see what she’s up to.

10 “Pay Attention To Me!” (S5, E3)

It definitely feels like Lisa Rinna has been on RHOBH since the start, but this season 5 episode is when viewers really got to know her. Lisa Vanderpump hosted a birthday party for Lisa Rinna at her PUMP restaurant, which makes this a fun and fabulous episode to watch, as LVP always knows how to throw a fancy party that everyone wishes they could attend.

This is also a sweet episode because Lisa Rinna and Eileen Davidson got together, and fans always liked watching them hang out, as they bonded since they’re both working actresses.

9 “Amster-Damn!” (S5, E16)

Of Lisa Rinna’s shocking RHOBH moments, no one can forget when she broke a wine glass at an Amsterdam restaurant. While this is a tough scene to look back on, it says a lot about Lisa and how much she cares about her family.

When Kim alluded to a rumor about Lisa Rinna’s husband Harry Hamlin, Lisa got incredibly mad and said Kim should never talk about him. This just might be Lisa’s most significant scene ever as she wasn’t behaving in a polite or classy manner, but she did let fans know that she would defend her marriage forever.

8 “Horsing Around” (S6, E3)

Lisa Vanderpump and Rinna seemed to be close friends during Lisa Rinna’s first few seasons, and this episode was a happy one, in stark contrast to many heated ones. LVP wanted to find a little horse as a birthday gift for her husband Ken, and Lisa Rinna went to Ohio with her.

This is also a special episode because the co-stars took a private plane on their trip. While the cast does have tons of money and they always go on amazing vacations, they’re also filmed hanging out at home or out to dinner a lot, and it can be fun to see them doing something fabulous like hopping on a private jet.

7 “Going Commando” (S7, E3)

Harry Hamlin is one of the best husbands in the Real Housewives franchise, and fans also like watching Lisa Rinna with her daughters, Amelia Gray Hamlin and Delilah Belle Hamlin.

In a hilarious scene, Lisa’s daughter Delilah was talking about a dating app at dinner, and she said that it was exclusive and for people who are “special.” This was a memorable moment as Lisa looked worried and sounded like a typical parent who is looking out for their child. It was also sweet that Kyle Richards looked out for them as well, saying that they should be careful and shouldn’t use the app while on their own in NYC for a few days.

6 “Meet Rinna Jayne” (S9, E16)

Birthday parties on RHOBH are always going to be fabulous and Kyle had a Halloween-themed party for her daughter Farrah.

Lisa made heads turn when she dressed up as Erika Jayne. It was all spot-on, from her oversized t-shirt to her high pigtails, and Erika even approved of it. This was also a dramatic episode as Lisa ran into Kim and told her that she shouldn’t have returned the stuffed bunny at the season 7 reunion. Lisa said that it was Erika speaking, not herself, so it was fine that she brought up this difficult subject. Fans were holding their breath while watching this tense scene, remembering the wild tension between the co-stars, but the interaction was surprisingly smooth.

5 “All’s Fair In Glam And War” (S10, E4)

On the past few seasons, Lisa has talked about her daughter’s tough times, including Amelia’s eating disorder and anxiety. This season 10 episode is one of Lisa’s best because she talked to Amelia openly about how she was feeling. Fans could see that Lisa really felt for her daughter and wanted to be there for her and help her.

This episode also stands out because Lisa joked about the college admissions scandal, telling Amelia, “I’m not going to put you on a rowing machine and take pictures.” This was a great reminder that Lisa has a strong sense of humor even during tense times.

4 “There’s No Place Like Rome” (S10, E13)

Many Real Housewives fights last the whole season and season 10 was all about the rumor about Brandi Glanville and Denise. It also featured a fight between Lisa and Garcelle Beauvais.

Garcelle suggested that Lisa’s Instagram videos dancing in her underwear could be triggering for Amelia’s eating disorder recovery, which didn’t go over well with Lisa. When Garcelle said, “I love that Lisa’s free enough to do the videos and be dancing, but the dancing nearly naked is not a choice for me if I had a daughter that had body issues,” it was painful for Lisa to hear, as she has only ever wanted to help her daughter feel better.

3 “That’s Not Amore” (S10, E14)

The season 10 Rome trip was all about Denise, and it also suggested the end of Denise and Lisa’s friendship. Denise said, “You’re coming off as a mean friend” and asked why Lisa even wanted her to come to Italy.

As soon as Denise and Lisa sat down, Lisa understood immediately that she had hurt Denise deeply without meaning to, as she hadn’t defended her or told everyone to gossiping. There was no way that Lisa could participate in conversations about the rumor while still being a good pal to Denise, and this was a big moment for Lisa, who has been a better support system for Erika during her legal trouble in season 11.

2 “The Liberation Of Erika Jayne” (S11, E14)

Of all the moments fans related to the Real Housewives, it was sweet when Harry Hamlin made pasta for the group, and it was also fun to watch Lisa and Harry in this season 11 episode.

Lisa told viewers that Harry had gotten really into gardening during the COVID-19 pandemic and that he was passionate about growing his own food. Lisa also went through a fire drill, which was funny and charming since she was so determined to do well and proud of herself afterward. This is an important episode since it showed the sweet side of Lisa when she’s hanging out at home with her family.

1 “Lips Unsealed” (S11, E14)

Lisa was thrilled to launch Rinna Beauty, her line of lip kits, and Crystal Kung-Minkoff threw her a lovely party in this season 11 episode.

It was sweet watching Lisa celebrate this achievement, and while the drama surrounding Erika was still present, this episode did focus on how hard Lisa worked and how proud she was. This episode also featured a heartwarming scene when Lisa and Erika celebrated Kyle’s birthday with champagne and cake at Erika’s rental house, a great reminder that Lisa cares deeply about her friendships despite the conflict she has been part of.
