I LOVED season 2. I also, strangely, LOVED Brandi Glanville. I tend to sympathize with the Housewife on the outside of each season (unless we're talking, like, Erika Jayne), and, during her first season, I felt they were so aggressively unkind to her. 

Of course, she showed a lot of her true colors in subsequent seasons, but I'll always have a soft spot for her, because I thought she deserved better in s2. 

I loved Sam's episode with Sophie Vershbow (love her on Twitter 

) because they revisited Season 2 of RHOBH and I had forgotten all of the drama. The Taylor Armstrong stuff is dark (this is the season she shows up with a black eye) and it's when Pandora Vanderpump acts like a true Beverly Hills princess. Dana Pam was there making waves (before she'd return for the Erika and Jen Shah's Hulu specials); the Kyle and Kim fight was real; and everyone was so mean to Brandi Glanville. 

The season was full of real drama (unlike later seasons, when the Housewives would complain about each other being late and L*cy L*cy Apple J*icy) and it's kinda hard to remember that this series was ever so honest. And! And! The lack of glam and glam squads! So refreshing! There were no fashion Moments!

Season 2 was one of the realest to me. You?

RHOBH Season 2 was wild... black eyes and tiaras!
