    An unprecedented, controversial, and ultimately highly watched season of Vanderpump Rules came to a close on Wednesday night.

    The Season 10 finale served as a sort of climax (at least for now) for the series that began over a decade ago. Thanks to the Scandoval that's more or less still unfolding, more eyes than ever are on the series.

    Scandoval is the fallout from an affair between cast members Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss while Tom was in a nearly decade-long relationship with fellow star of the show, Ariana Madix. You can read more about it here, and here, and here. 

    Season 10 brought in new viewers intrigued by the wild world that is Lisa Vanderpump's West Hollywood restaurant empire and its many current or former employees.
