Four years after the success of Real Housewives of Orange County, Bravo dropped another city to its growing franchise: Beverly Hills. Orange County wasn't enough to cover the state of California; Beverly Hills was added to the franchise to show the various lifestyles and communities Southern California had.
When season one released in 2010, fans were introduced to Taylor Armstrong, Lisa Vanderpump, Kim and Kyle Richards, Adrienne Maloof, and Camille Gramer. Now that RHOBH is on season 10, the only remaining housewife from the first season is Kyle Richards. To take a look back at RHOBH's first episode, take a look below!
8 Taylor Armstrong
Upon meeting Taylor Armstrong, viewers learned she's a smalltown girl living in this Beverly Hills lifestyle. After moving from Oklahoma to Beverly Hills, she met her husband Russel Amstrong and has been living lavishly ever since. Viewers saw Taylor put on an extravagant birthday party for her daughter Kennedy and assured viewers that's how Beverly Hills does birthday parties. And as gorgeous as everything in her life was, her relationship appeared strained. Taylor admitted the romance was leaving their relationship and they focused mainly on business.
Taylor went on filming for three seasons and filed for divorce from her husband after abuse allegations started swirling. And tragically after the abuse scandal and problems with work, Russel took his own life. Taylor moved on from that horrible incident with her divorce attorney, John Bluher.
7 Camille Grammer
Camille Grammer was an intriguing castmember for fans because she was married to actor Kelsey Grammer. The couple lived in this amazing Beverly Hills home with their two children. But as we saw on camera, Kelsey was in New York a lot for work, which left Camille alone with the kids for long periods of time.
Camille butted heads with a few of the castmates, mainly Kyle Richards, but remained on the show for two seasons before coming back as a friend on and off. She's still making an appearance on the show today and has moved on from her husband Kelsey with attorney David Meyer
6 Adrienne Maloof
RHOBH fans quickly learned that Adrienne Maloof was a big wig in Beverly Hills and beyond. Not only did she live right across the street from Lisa Vanderpump but she was apart of multiple businesses, including owning a stake in the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas!
In season one, Adrienne introduced the world to her plastic surgery husband Paul Nassif and their three sons. The family had all the riches they could ever want but Paul and Adrienne couldn't make it work. The two divorced and Adrienne left the show after three seasons. Today, Maloof is still running the show as a businesswoman and single mom.
5 Paul Nassif
Speaking of Paul Nassif... Back in the first season, some of the more colorful husbands had a bigger role in the series. Adrienne's ex-husband Paul was hilarious on TV and their bickering was seen as relatable for viewers.
When the two divorced, Paul was given his own show with fellow RHOC husband, Terry Dubrow called Botched. The two plastic surgeons take on various cases that seem impossible to fix but these two do it with ease. As of late, Nassif went on to remarry and is expecting a baby with his new wife Brittany.
4 Kim Richards
Many RHOBH fans recognized Kim Richards as a former child star and the aunt of the Hilton sisters. On the show, Kim was a single mother of four ho was going through addiction issues. However, fans had no idea how bad it was until later in the season.
Kim and her sister Kyle butted heads repeatedly throughout filming, mainly for not having each other's backs in various disagreements with the girls. Now that Kim is no longer on RHOBH, she still makes guest appearances and is enjoying time as a grandmother.
3 Kyle Richards
Like her sister Kim, Kyle was also a child star who continues acting today. In season one, we meet her longtime husband Mauricio Umansky and their four kids. Throughout the season, Kyle wears many hats as a working mother and doting wife. She's also the only housewife on this list who continues to star in RHOBH after 10 seasons! In fact, not much has changed in Kyle's life besides a few friendships and enemies.
2 Lisa Vanderpump
Lisa Vanderpump was an extraordinary find for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The English beauty moved to Beverly Hills from London to focus on the restaurants and bars she ran with her husband Ken. The pair had two children, Pandora and Max, and also had a friend named Cedrick living with them. In season one, Cedrick stirred the pot quite a bit with Lisa and Ken until the couple had enough of him and kicked him out. Likewise, Lisa had similar fallouts with a few of the ladies.
Lisa is no longer on RHOBH but focuses her reality TV efforts on Vanderpump Rules and her latest spinoff, Vanderpump Dogs.
1 Ken Todd
Lisa's husband Ken Todd deserves his own entry because he's been just as influential on RHOBH as the other ladies. Throughout all the ups and downs Lisa went through on camera, Ken was always by her side supporting her. They also ran their businesses together as a pair, making him an equal partner in their success.
Fans loved seeing Ken follow Lisa around with their dog Jiggy and help her pack for her long trips away with the girls. Nowadays, Ken is still running restaurants with Lisa and also appears on her reality show spinoffs.
