The popular and highly influential Kardashian-Jenner clan is back with the penultimate season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Earlier this month, Kim Kardashian posted a message to her Instagram account telling her followers and fans of the show that their beloved reality show is slated to end next year with season 20.
The season 19 of the hit reality show that's nearing its concluding season, debuted on E! on Thursday, and it featured a classic prank. There are no prizes for guessing that the prank was orchestrated by Khloe Kardashian and Scott Disick, the same pair that came up with an elaborate scheme to create fake paparazzi photos of Kris Jenner in multiple uncompromising positions in the last season.
This time, Khloe and Chris have entered phase two. The 36-year-old socialite tells Chris that they need to get their hands on photos that are "actually going to be believable." She goes on to explain step one, involved getting her drunk, and hoping that she blacks out and doesn't remember what she did that night.
In a bid to set the plan in motion, Khloe meets with Kris, Kris' boyfriend Corey Gamble, and Kim Kardashian West for dinner. Khloe keeps ordering round after round of martinis, but the bartender secretly delivers her water, while Kris gets served alcohol.
Then Kim, 39, involves Kris' assistant to steal the clothes, shoes, and jewelry Kris was wearing that night. Khloe says that Kim came up with a master idea of getting in touch with Kris' assistant, and as soon as Kris gets home, she is drunk and throws all her clothes on the floor, her assistant will get all of her stuff, throw it in a trash bag and bring it to her.
Khloe goes on to explain that she will don the Kris Jenner outfit, right from her toes to her jewelry, noting that it is going to match spot-on. She says her make up will be so accurate that Kris will not be able to know whether it is her or the imposter.
After securing her outfit, and slipping into a black pixie wig, Khloe will go out on the streets with Scott, stopping at a Malibu liquor store, where Khloe took a series of photos stumbling around in the parking lot with a bottle of vodka in hand. To make it more believable, they decided to involve their PR representative Christy, who would leak these photos.
On the reveal day, Khloe involves Corey in on the prank, and then calls Christy, who on cue, calls Kris while she was headed to Khloe's house with Corey. Christy informed Kris that TMZ had called about another series of images of her, this time outside of a liquor store in Malibu.
Corey confirms saying they stop in Malibu on the way home to use the bathroom. He looks at the photo on her phone announcing that it is her, but Kris shushed him, looking stressed. "I know I was really tipsy and I had a lot to drink, but I always rely on Corey," Kris tells in a confessional.
