Sexy. Unique. Resurgence.

Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules has long been a treasured guilty pleasure for reality TV fans, following the self-involved and self-destructive staff at Lisa Vanderpump’s L.A. restaurant SUR. In recent seasons, though, the trashy good times had begun to wane, and we started to wonder if the party was over. But fear not! Season 10, which debuted last month, has roared back with a vengeance, shaking off the doldrums that plagued the past few seasons and recapturing the chaotic drama that made it so great in the first place. And that’s all before we even found out about the jaw-dropping affair allegations that have exploded on social media and shaken the entire cast to the core. (Viewers agree, apparently: Last week’s episode hit the show’s highest ratings in nearly three years.)
