Real Housewives Boss Reveals History Behind the Taglines

When asked for some of his other all-time favorites, the ones he's most proud of, Ross had to take a minute to consider his answer. After all, there are SO many to choose from in just RHOC and RHOBH alone. (Trust us, we know. Remember that ranking we mentioned above?) But in the end, he singled out Judge and RHOBH star Lisa Vanderpump.

"Well, I've always had fun with Tamra's lines because she is such a strong flavor and I actually think that the lines in the last couple of seasons have really zinged. They're not necessarily the most clever of all time, but they still work for her," he said. "In season nine, she says, 'I'm not getting older, I'm just getting bolder.' And it was really this outgrowth of her getting divorced, getting married, coming to terms, starting her own business, but at the end of that season, she really had very difficult time with the ladies…They went to Bali and everything went to s--t and they started fighting and they really came down on her. She thought it was going to be the end of her time on the Housewives. And then in season 10, she discovers that she has this penchant for Christianity and for Jesus and for finding some religion in her life, and we wanted to make a play on her line from the season before as she goes through this redemption season. So we took the 'I'm just getting bolder' and twisted it around to 'Boldness comes at a cost…and I'm willing to pay.' It's not a super zinger, but it so worked and we used the tagline to help shape her story and her character for the viewers."

As for Vanderpump, well, he couldn't choose just one. "One of her famous lines, of course, is 'Life isn't all diamonds and rosé, but it should be.' That's a great line and said everything about the show and about Lisa. There was also her line when she had had a tough fourth season and she comes back and it's 'Throw me to the wolves, and I shall return leading the back.' Again, it was so much fun and who can deliver that line better than anybody? Of course, Lisa Vanderpump."
