71 free Vanderpump Rules trivia questions with answers. Vanderpump Rules started in 2013 as a Real Housewives of Beverly Hills spin-off about the servers and bartenders at Lisa Vanderpump's West Hollywood restaurant SUR, and it turned into one of Bravo's biggest shows. This quiz covers all of it: the original cast of Stassi, Kristen, Katie, Jax, Scheana and Sandoval, the crossovers, the firings of 2020, the opening of Tom Tom, the season nine engagement that collapsed at the reunion, and the 2023 affair scandal that put the show on the front page. There are also questions about the cast beyond the restaurant: Ariana Madix on Broadway and Dancing with the Stars, Lisa's Las Vegas empire and Puppygate exit from Beverly Hills, Scheana's music, Jax's Navy stint, The Valley, Vanderpump Villa and the fully rebooted season 12 with a new SUR staff. Easy ones for casual viewers, harder ones for people who remember which band played 'T.I.P.' Every answer is checked against a documented source and linked, so nothing here relies on fan-wiki hearsay.
