Season 10.
A stable, returning cast overtaken mid-run by the most-covered real-world story the show has ever generated.
A rhythm worth tracking.
Season 10 brings back nearly the entire prior cast — Charli Burnett steps back to a recurring role and Brock Davies appears less often, while Ally Lewber joins in a recurring spot. Nineteen episodes were already airing when the season's defining real-world story broke in March 2023: Tom Sandoval's affair with Raquel Leviss became public, a tabloid event the press quickly nicknamed Scandoval. It's the most-covered season the show has ever had.
The #09 slot.
Slot #09 of 12 in the Vanderpump Rules Editor's Canon. Season 10 ranks ninth because on-screen continuity and off-screen disruption pull in opposite directions here. Nearly the entire prior cast returns — Charli Burnett steps back to a recurring role, Brock Davies appears less often — and Ally Lewber joins in a recurring spot, the kind of stable, low-turnover lineup this canon usually rewards. But the season was already airing when its defining story broke: Tom Sandoval's affair with Raquel Leviss became public in March 2023, a tabloid event the press nicknamed Scandoval almost overnight. That real-world story becomes bigger than the season built around it, which is exactly the kind of disruption this canon ranks below quieter, more settled runs.
