Remember 2007? (Or: My Hot Take on KUWTK Season 1)
Okay, let's be real. 2007 was... a year. Flip phones reigned supreme. Low-rise jeans haunted our nightmares.
And then, bam! Keeping Up With The Kardashians hit our screens. Life. Changed.
The Hair
Seriously, what was with the hair in Season 1? Everyone looked...different. Even Kim, the queen of contour, had a totally different vibe.
And Khloe? Bless her heart. The early 2000s were rough on everyone, let's be honest.
The Outfits
Don't even get me started on the outfits. Bedazzled everything! So much denim.
Was everyone required to wear a belt with everything? I'm genuinely curious.
And those Juicy Couture tracksuits? Iconic, yes. But also... a little much.
The Drama (Or Lack Thereof?)
Here's my unpopular opinion: Season 1 wasn't *that* dramatic. Sure, there were squabbles.
But compared to later seasons? It was practically a zen garden. Kourtney and Scott were in their infancy, relationship-wise.
The tension was brewing, but the full-blown storm hadn’t arrived. Think gentle breeze versus hurricane.
Kris Jenner: Mastermind in the Making
Let's give credit where credit is due. Kris Jenner was playing chess while the rest of us were playing checkers.
Even in Season 1, you could see the gears turning. She knew what she was doing.
She was building an empire, one episode at a time. Genius, I tell you. Absolute genius.
The Houses
Their houses, though! So Calabasas. So...brown?
Everything was beige and tan. I miss the old house, tbh.
Now everything is all minimalist and white. Give me back the brown!
My Unpopular Opinion: Season 1 > Later Seasons
Okay, brace yourselves. Here it comes. I actually kind of prefer Season 1 to some of the later seasons.
Hear me out! It felt...more real. Raw, even.
They weren't *quite* as hyper-aware of the cameras. There was a certain innocence (or maybe just naiveté) that I appreciate.
The Simplicity
It wasn't about world tours or launching billion-dollar businesses (yet). It was about family.
And botox. Definitely about botox. Just kidding... mostly.
But seriously, there was a charm to the simplicity.
Bruce Jenner (Now Caitlyn): The MVP
Bruce Jenner was honestly the MVP of Season 1. Dad jokes galore!
Always supportive, always trying to keep the peace. We love you, Bruce.
His role in the family dynamic during that time can't be overstated.
Final Thoughts
So, there you have it. My slightly controversial take on KUWTK Season 1.
It's a time capsule. A glimpse into a world before Instagram fame and beauty empires.
Worth a re-watch? Absolutely. Just prepare yourself for the hair and the bedazzled jeans.
"You're doing amazing, sweetie!" - Kris Jenner, probably about Season 1.
