I will never stop watching Vanderpump Rules, but I do find myself missing the show’s early days. Those first couple of seasons were iconic. From Jax Taylor and Stassi Schroeder’s all-encompassing romantic relationship to single Jax “dating” multiple people at once, there was always something crazy happening in every single episode. I do still love this show, but there are plenty of things that I miss about the beginning of Vanderpump Rules.
I’m all for moving forward, but there are plenty of other things about the beginning of Pump Rules.

I will always love Vanderpump Rules no matter what, but these are some of the things I will always love from the beginning of the show.
1. Jax & Stassi’s On-Again-Off-Again Relationship
At this point, it seems like the Jax and Stassi romance was a lifetime ago. Sure, I love Jax with Brittany Cartwright now, but the Jax and Stassi drama was nothing short of iconic.
2. Scheana’s Attempt At A Singing Career As The Brunette Britney
I live for reality star attempts at a music career. Sure, Scheana Marie got a lot of flack for her vocals, but I give her props for singing in front of the Vanderpump Rules audience during the first two seasons. Plus, if I’m being honest “Good as Gold” was actually a fun song.. Judge me, but it’s not that bad. Even her enemy at the time (and possibly now) Stassi admitted that Scheana did good job after she went to her performance solely to make fun of her.
3. Jax Juggling Multiple Women
Again, I’m so #TeamBrittany, but Jax’s revolving door of girlfriends was beyond entertaining. He wasn’t just hooking up with girls, but he was giving them the girlfriend title five minutes after meeting and taking them on group trips.

4. Rooting For Katie Maloney
In the first few seasons of the show, the fandom really wanted Katie Maloney to break out of her role as Stassi’s sidekick. We all wanted her to voice her views, but we just didn’t expect for it to end up like this. From the rage texting to the drunk fighting, we are all missing Katie from the first two seasons. Let’s hope that she can resurrect next season.
5. Stassi’s Birthday
I really miss the days when Stassi controlled everyone in the cast. She was really in her prime when she selected the important people from SUR to take off of work to celebrate her birthday during over-the-top trips. From the constant “It’s my fucking birthday!” yells to the drunken fights, Stassi’s birthday provided the most iconic scenes. Jax ripped off that white chunky sweater in Vegas while the cast was celebrating Stassi’s birthday. Tom Schwartz poured that drink over Katie’s orange hair during a trip for Stassi’s birthday. I can go on and on, but Stassi’s birthday was always legendary for the first few seasons.
6. Inconsequential Nudity
Long before everyone was freaking out about LaLa Kent taking her top off all the time, Stassi led the charge when it came to random nudity. She got everyone to skinny dip during her amazing birthday trips and the cast was always naked for those SUR photo shoots.
7. Eddie Cibrian
Thanks to Scheana’s affair with Brandi Glanville’s ex husband Eddie Cibrian, it made a lot of sense for Vanderpump Rules to be a spin off from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. It also gave Stassi a reason to have a vendetta against Scheana- which she would have justified no matter what. Still, she was absolutely relentless with the Eddie Cibrian references during the first season and it was prime entertainment.
8. The Cast Not Wanting To Work At SUR Forever
When the show started out, it was about waitresses and bartenders who had aspirations related to the entertainment industry- and I’m not talking about being reality TV stars. Katie wanted to own a record label. Kristen Doute wanted to be an actress. Tom Sandoval was an aspiring model, actor, and musician. Scheana, Stassi, and Jax modeled. They all wanted to be successful in the arts, but now they are killing it as famous reality stars that I can’t help being jealous of.
9. Lisa Liking Stassi
At the beginning, Lisa Vanderpump and Stassi had such a mentor/mentee relationship. Lisa was there to give Stassi frank advice and I loved their scenes together. Now Lisa wants nothing to do with Stassi and I really miss the old days.
10. Kristen & Katie Looking Alike
There’s always an adjustment period when you start watching a new reality show. It’s hard to keep track of new faces and follow their story lines at first. This was especially true back in the day when both Kristen and Katie had the exact same haircut and color. They were both Stassi’s sidekicks. They were both dating guys named Tom. It was hard to follow at first and it was definitely a much simpler time.
11. The Apartments
I watch reality TV for two main reasons that actually end up contradicting each other: 1. to watch people I can empathize with in relatable situations and 2. to watch people with lives I could never fathom having living in luxury. The Vanderpump crew obviously falls into the former category. I absolutely loved how they just kept it real: shitty apartments and all. Unlike some of the Housewives who rent houses to look rich for the show, the apartments really showed us where the cast was at that point in life and I just loved watching people that I could relate to.
12. Crazy Kristen
I have actually grown to love Kristen, but I do miss her old shit-stirring ways. Sure, I’m happy that she’s found herself and she’s in a stable relationship, but I do miss her working shifts at SUR, investigating Tom on social media, and denying her hookup with Jax.
13. Queen Stassi
I get that Stassi had to go on this redemption tour after she left the show and burned bridges with everyone in the cast, but I have forgiven her for all that. I want her to rise up and claim her throne as the queen of this show. Sorry, Katie. Stassi is the one who made this show.
Tonight is part three of the Vanderpump Rules reunion. And it’s the awkward return of Shay! “The reunion concludes as Lisa explains why she initially refused to officiate Katie and Tom’s wedding. James lashes out at Jax and Kristen for sabotaging his show and Tom and Ariana discuss being blamed for all the problems in Katie’s relationship. Lisa tells Schwartz he blew his chance to go into business with her and Ariana explains why she won’t marry Sandoval. Finally, Scheana shares an emotional moment with her estranged husband, Michael Shay, to discuss the disintegration of their relationship.”
The reunion starts at 8/7 CST, so join us here in the comments to snark the episode!
