4. Katie Maloney
Katie could be a little harsh on Lala at times this season—her informing Lala about her Pucker & Pout launch party just to tell her she's not invited felt especially rude—but she handled the resurgence of a certain someone on this list in a refreshingly realistic way. She didn't greet her with open arms, forgetting all the bad blood, but she maturely admitted to what she could and couldn't handle with Stassi in a way that felt true to their shared history.
3. Stassi Schroeder
Look, anyone who can scorch the earth like that only to come back, withstand the initial scorn, and win over almost everyone she'd originally hurt has a certain undeniable power. The show didn't feel complete during Stassi's absence. No one else was offering up blistering gems such as "The only thing that I have holding me back right now is that I have self-respect and dignity. Thank god for Kristen, who is unburdened by those anchors." Never leave us again, Stassi.
2. Tom Schwartz
Is there any cast member on Vanderpump Rules more likable than Schwartzy? Homeboy really stepped up to the plate this season, finally committing to Katie with a proposal that had us swooning—and don't forget about how he handled his first meeting with Stassi like a boss. Schwartzy FTW.
1. Lisa Vanderpump
Did you expect anyone else? No one knows how to put this motley crew in their place like LVP and her sharp tongue. Whether it was Stassi's groveling, James' ego, or Jax's everything, Lisa said to their faces exactly what we were thinking—and in a way that had us laughing out loud all season long. All hail, Queen Vanderpump.
Did we get it right? Who won the season for you? Sound off in the comments below.
The Vanderpump Rules reunion specials begin Tuesday, March 21 at 9 p.m on Bravo.
