2011. I mean, this was the stuff that fairytales are made of. No expense was spared. She walked down the aisle in a custom-designed strapless Vera Wang ball gown. Aside from a guest list including the who’s who in the industry, this wedding, which featured as a two-part episode in the sixth season of the reality show, wasn’t without drama as Khloé was disinvited after a heated argument with Kim. Not long after the newly-weds became a laughing stock when they decided to end their marriage – after 72 days. Rob suffered from a serious failure to launch. While his sisters were growing in their respective careers, he hopped from one bad business idea to the next. His studies also fell by the wayside.

He got to second place in the competition.

Remember the movie, You, Me and Dupree. Well, Khloé had to deal with such a situation when Rob moved back in with her and Lamar in season 7. While her hubby was chilled about it, she was not. In fact, she took great umbrage with him using her garage as a storage unit. They had several fights over him being utterly rude to her. Eventually, Lamar had to step in as the man of the house.
