A lesson to all Housewives: if you have a naggging feeling that you shouldn't go to a party, maybe you shouldn't. Alexis' decision to tag along with Vicki for Tamra's gym blessing party turned out like you would have expected -- with lots and lots of yelling and Alexis admitting she had to start taking Xanax based on all the drama. Us too.
When Vicki got a bit confused about the age difference between two wine guides, she spilled exactly what she was thinking -- were they lovers? Nope, that's his daughter. This awkward moment is classic Gunvalson. Don't ever change Vick.

We're glad Judy has curtailed her pot intake, but we could watch her mime her previous habits forever.

In the opposite of every MTV Sweet Sixteen-style reaction to a new car, Gretchen seemed genuinely moved by Slade's baller birthday gift of a Rolls Royce. (Until she asked him who was paying for it of course).

No context needed. This image says it all.

Tamra Barney has never been known for holding back, but with moving speech to room full of business woman she shared more than we ever knew -- including her darkest days. Thankfully Tamra rose above her suicide attempts and has grown to be the strong woman we know today. More power to you Tamra!

When Heather and Gretchen went to the bathroom, they missed all the fun, as the rest of Tamra's Bachelorette Party crew headed out to whoop it up in Mexico. And whoop it up they did.

As it turns out, stripping is a lot more intense South of the Border. Watch the show again because Heather Dubrow's reaction faces to these antics really say it all.

It was so touching to see Tamra finally hunt down the big bridal dress she deserves -- and to learn about how the gals get hoisted properly. Also, since there is never a dull shopping trip with Housewives, it was a great opportunity for Lauri to tell Vicki that Brooks might be dating a porn star.

When Vicki finally confronted Lauri about the cheating allegations you knew it was going to be epic. You just didn't realize is was going to be massive-blowout-on-the-side-of-a-mountain-in-full-ski-gear epic. It was so epic the rest of the ladies had to recover by making snow angels. Watch the insane fight again, you simply must.

That time that Tamra licked the wall in a vodka ice room and got her tongue stuck to the ice? Yeah we would not miss the chance to include that. Watch her harrowing incident again here.

Precocious children will always make our list of season's best moments. They were just starting to build a life there. Watch the Dubrow children cope with moving to a bigger house again here.

fter years of will he or can he (based on his debt), plus a few other Housewives, Slade and Gretchen finally made it official when she proposed with a little help from a helicopter and a monster love ballad. Mazel you two!

Among all the fresh drama, we had a chance to look back at the plethora of parties, plastic surgery, and former fights in RHOC's iconic 100th Episode. Look back at the better (and occasionally worse) times again here.

Has a show with Reba McEntire ever caused so much drama in the lives of the Housewives? The casting snafu with Heather/Gretchen/Alexis spun more tiffs than one could imagine -- and will surely spawn many more in the reunion.

Vicki attempts to make a smooth exit from a limo, and this happens.

Vicki called it leakage. We called her bit of bed peeing in Mexico one of the funniest moments in RHOC history. Watch it again.

First time Housewife Lydia brought her signature goofiness -- and her very special dance to the masses this season. We could not have been more thrilled.

Dr. Terry Dubrow loves onion rings, and he won't let Heather's tyrannical feeling about how they should be served at parties stand in his way.

When Lydia and Alexis gathered with Vicki to listen to an episode of Slade's radio show, they found that he'd moved on from Mrs. Piggy to a nickname that's a little bit squarer and perhaps even less nice, "Tupperware Face."

Slade's brother Kent looks just like Slade. . .but more rustic.

The women of the RHOC really know how to throw a bachelorette party.
