The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: 10 Best Lisa Vanderpump Episodes

Lisa Vanderpump appeared on The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills from seasons 1 and 9, and fans became invested in her marriage to Ken, Villa Rosa mansion, and fabulous lifestyle. LVP’s storylines were typical Real Housewives fare, as she fought with co-stars and allowed cameras inside her home. But she still stood out and her episodes always felt special.

Whether ending her friendship with Kyle Richards or spending time with family, Lisa Vanderpump was a memorable cast member, and she is missed. From one of her first appearances to her last, these are Lisa’s most interesting episodes.

10 Unforgivable (S1, E13)

Of all the season 1 RHOBH storylines that fans forgot about, Lisa and Ken’s relationship with their houseguest Cedric is an important one.

While Lisa and Cedric had gotten along really well in the past, Lisa and Ken felt that Cedric was no longer loyal or kind to them. Ken shared with Us Weekly that Cedric told them publications had asked if he wanted to share his story. This season 1 episode featured the couple asking Cedric to move out of their house, and emotions were high.

9 Malibu Beach Party From Hell (S2, E14)

While this episode is known for the party that Brandi threw, where Taylor got really upset about Camille’s comments about Russell’s abuse, fans of Vanderpump Rules will want to watch this episode again.

Lisa was getting ready to open her restaurant SUR, a prime location on the spin-off. It’s fun to take a trip down memory lane and watch her fabulous design sense come to life, and it’s a reminder of what an amazing restaurant empire she has built.

8 Lucy Lucy Apple Juicy (S9, E1)

RHOBH has many intense storylines, and season 9 is known for the scandal called “Puppygate.” Dorit adopted a dog, Lucy, from Vanderpump Dogs, and things went downhill fast. Dorit said that Lucy bit P.K. and their two young children, and she found another home for the dog.

Conflict ensued, as there were many rumors flying around, and Lisa wanted to keep the situation from getting worse. This is one of Lisa’s best episodes, as she wanted to keep her positive reputation and fans wondered whose side to pick.

7 Faint Chance (S7, E2)

In this season 2 episode, Lisa shared that she would be competing on Dancing With The Stars. This particular episode stands out because when Lisa fainted at one of the rehearsals, some of her co-stars wondered if that really happened.

This caused some tension, of course, as Lisa wanted everyone to be happy for this cool new adventure that she was embarking on. She didn’t want anyone to accuse her of lying.

6 The Real Wedding Of Beverly Hills (S2, E20)

Of all the moments on The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills when fans supported Lisa, Pandora’s wedding was a huge deal, making this season 2 episode a memorable one.

Fans will want to re-watch Pandora and Jason’s beautiful wedding, as the decor was pink and romantic, which is exactly Lisa’s style. While it’s not possible to dine at Lisa and Ken’s beautiful Villa Rosa mansion, it’s definitely possible to live vicariously and watch this fabulous wedding episode.

5 The Kids Are All Right (S4, E18)

Viewers look forward to fun cast vacations, but the Puerto Rico trip involved some drama for Lisa.

This episode gave Lisa the chance to tell Carlton about her decision to go home early. She felt that her co-stars were being mean and unfair, and Carlton supported Lisa here. The drama started in the previous episode; Brandi said that there was a magazine with rumors about Mauricio cheating on Kyle. According to Brandi, Lisa wanted to bring the magazine on the trip. Lisa felt that no one was on her side, and it was nice to see Lisa and Carlton bonding here.

4 It’s Expensive to Be Me (S7, E7)

Fans first got to know Dorit Kemsly in season 7 of The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills, and this season also saw Lisa’s son Max wanting to look for his birth mother.

This episode is heartwarming, as viewers had seen Lisa at home with Ken and her daughter Pandora in several episodes, and it was nice that the show focused on Max. Lisa showed her son lots of love and compassion, and anyone who has been in this situation could relate.

3 Horsing Around (S6, E3)

Lisa Rinna and Lisa Vanderpump went to buy a mini-horse in this season 6 episode. This was a light-hearted moment in the season, as LVP knew it was the perfect birthday gift for Ken. It’s a lot of fun to watch this episode, especially since the co-stars went to Ohio via private jet, one of the fabulous moments that Real Housewives fans live for.

2 Showdown at Villa Rosa (S9, E8)

This season 9 episode is a significant one, as it helps explain why Lisa ended her time on the show and why she and Kyle stopped being friends.

The other housewives think that Lisa told Radar Online about the Puppygate story, and Kyle went to Lisa’s house and told her what everyone was saying. Ken yelled at Kyle and made her leave the house, which is one of the most dramatic moments of the whole season.

1 Hurricane Camille (S9, E21)

Fans who miss Lisa Vanderpump will want to watch the season 9 finale “Hurricane Camille.” The other housewives talked about seeing Lisa around town, and it was heartbreaking to see Lisa’s friendships fall by the wayside.

Lisa Rinna said she saw Lisa Vanderpump in a parking lot and they had a bit of an awkward exchange, and Kyle saw her at Neiman Marcus. Kyle explained that she felt terrible that she and Lisa were no longer speaking. This episode is really sad and memorable, as LVP and Kyle had a Real Housewives friendship that felt completely genuine.
