For an impressive fifteen seasons, Supernatural dominated television as the most prolific genre series in modern day. Blending horror, fantasy, and action together in a road trip style almost befitting of a Western, the Eric Kripke-created series became an international phenomenon that has spawned an entire franchise worth of material. Whether you love everything Supernatural or prefer the original Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) adventures, there are more than 300 episodes to pull from and enjoy.

It’s hard to perfectly capture a line that embodies an entire season, but we’ve done our best to collect the quotes that represent each season of Supernatural. Some are imperfect, we’ll admit to that, but each of them says something about their respective season or the series as a whole, especially when examined after the fact. So, without further ado, start your engines and grab some rock salt, because here are the quotes that define each season of Supernatural.

1

“Saving people, hunting things, the family business.”

Season 1, Episode 2 “Wendigo”

An oldie but a goodie, there is no single quote that so perfectly defines not just the first season but all Supernatural. Spoken first by Dean in the second episode, “Wendigo,” the “saving people, hunting things” line has become so synonymous with the program that it could just as easily be a logline for the show. We certainly couldn’t argue with that. In some ways, the line perfectly embodies everything that Supernatural was originally about.

Each episode sent the brothers to a new town, a new place, as they hunted down evil and saved those tormented by it. As time went on, the Winchesters strayed a bit from the “family business,” especially the “saving people” part, but back in Season 1, that was all it was about. Sure, they were still looking for their missing father, but that was almost an afterthought to all the urban legends and ghostly horrors they dealt with first.

2

“You always have a choice. You can either roll over and die or you can keep fighting, no matter what.”

Season 2, Episode 1 “In My Time of Dying”

Coming from the first episode of the second season, “In My Time of Dying,” Dean’s epic reminder is arguably his greatest line on the show. But in the context of Season 2, it speaks to the endless cycle of self-sacrifice and resurrections that would begin here — and follow the program through its end. Sure, Dean was (unknowingly) speaking to a reaper here, but it speaks to the show’s unwavering boldness in the face of network change-ups between seasons.

The “always keep fighting” mantra would become a major driving force of the Supernatural fandom in the years to come, but it could easily be traced back here. As Sam and Dean continue to fight against the Yellow-Eyed Demon that haunted them from childhood, the Winchesters must continue to choose the life they’ve decided to lead. Unsurprisingly, they do.

3

“Family don’t end with blood, boy.”

Season 3, Episode 16 “No Rest for the Wicked”

Image via The CW

Another line that’s become so popular that it could easily describe the series as a whole, this Season 3 quote came from Bobby Singer (Jim Beaver) in the climactic finale “No Rest for the Wicked.” Like any good surrogate father, Bobby chooses to stick with the boys through everything that’s coming, even if it means facing Lilith (Sierra McCormick) and a pack of hellhounds. Considering his increased role in the third season, it reminds us that the series was still finding its sea legs even after all these years.

Of course, another quote that may do even more justice to this season comes from Lauren Cohan’s Bela Talbot. As she remarks in “Bad Day at Black Rock”: “We’re all going to Hell, Dean. Might as well enjoy the ride.” Given Dean’s “one year to live” throughout the third season, it’s another quote that really rings true to the overall theme of these 16 episodes.

4

“I’m the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition.”

Season 4, Episode 1 “Lazarus Rising”

Image via The CW

Season 4 was a year of many firsts for Supernatural as the series moved further from its horror roots and turned into a fantasy adventure that dealt with cosmic scales and world-ending implications. Spoken by Castiel (Misha Collins) in the premiere, “Lazarus Rising,” this quote is a harrowing symbol of what is to come, as Dean is resurrected not of his own accord nor his brothers, but seemingly by the will of Heaven itself. Talk about a massive rebrand!

Tonally, this line reminds us that the stakes are higher now than they ever have been, and if Dean has been brought back from Hell for a purpose, that purpose must also be severe. It’s one heck of a season opener, too. Additionally, the line speaks to the bond that would be formed between Dean and Castiel over the course of this season, and eventually the greater series.

5

“It’s okay, Dean… I’ve got him.”

Season 5, Episode 22 “Swan Song”

Image via The CW

Concluding the arc first established in Season 4 (and the overall myth arc that Kripke set out to tell), Season 5 is a killer finale if you want to watch an abridged version of the program. Sam’s line to his brother here in “Swan Song” shows the younger Winchester’s strength in his battle against the Devil (one he’s been fighting all season) and that his love for his brother is what gave him the power to overcome Lucifer (Mark Pellegrino) in the first place. It’s simple, but profoundly effective.

It also precedes Sam jumping into Hell himself, leading to Dean being left alone to start a new life. While the remaining ten seasons would put an axe on that, this was an era of Supernatural that knew how to tell a story that felt finite and contained. It turns out that love truly is all you need to conquer the forces of evil. Well, love and sacrifice.

6

“Empathy, Sam! Empathy!”

Season 6, Episode 9 “Clap Your Hands If You Believe…”

Image via The CW

After Kripke left and Sera Gamble took over, fans weren’t quite sure of the new direction that Supernatural was taking. With a souless Sam who was unable to feel any of those previously expressed ideas and a Dean struggling with a work-life balance, it didn’t feel like the same show. So when Dean said these words in “Clap Your Hands If You Believe…,” it almost felt like the audience trying to get the attention of the writers.

While the sixth season would eventually course correct (with Kripke even returning to pen the season finale), it just couldn’t recreate the show that we were used to. Sure, Season 6 still has plenty of gems like “The French Mistake” and “Weekend at Bobby’s,” but those are the exception to the otherwise strange norm that the show created in its uneven Season 5 follow-up. Still, we’re glad that the show got over this slight hump.

7

“Make yourself smile because you’re alive and that’s your job. Then do it again the next week.”

Season 7, Episode 11 “Adventures in Babysitting”

Image via The CW

Remember that brief moment when Bobby was killed, and he hadn’t been confirmed to be sticking around as a ghost just yet? Yeah, that’s where Frank Devereaux (Kevin R. McNally) came in, and he was nothing like the old grouchy mechanic who used to pal around with Sam and Dean. But he did offer one piece of sage wisdom that spoke to the general atmosphere of Season 7: suck it up and keep going.

Still in the Gamble era, Season 7 was overly reliant on jokes about Dick Roman’s (James Patrick Stuart) name and noncommittal in which cast members the show wanted to kill or revive. Either way, though they’re meant to be an encouragement to Dean, Frank’s words speak quite clearly to the state of the program. We’re not sure if that’s a good thing or not, but at least the show was eventually able to move past this strange era.

8

“Don’t you dare think that there is anything, past or present, that I would put in front of you!”

Season 8, Episode 23 “Sacrifice”

Image via The CW

When Jeremy Carver took over Supernatural in Season 8, it felt as if anything were once again possible. Sending Sam and Dean back on the road, reestablishing the status quo, and putting them on the path to closing the gates of Hell forever seemed like the best way forward after two monster-heavy seasons. So, when Dean reminded Sam of this in the season finale, “Sacrifice,” it’s a powerful reminder to the audience that Supernatural is back.

Of course, in-universe, it also very clearly addresses Dean’s constant pull toward supernatural creatures. First Castiel, then Benny the vampire (Ty Olsson), and later Crowley (Mark A. Sheppard). But even in all that, Dean reminds Sam that what makes Supernatural work is that the two of them are always there to fight evil, side by side, and he’ll ultimately choose his brother over anyone else. It may not be healthy, but it makes the show work.

9

“No one in the history of torture’s been tortured with torture like the torture you’ll be tortured with.”

Season 9, Episode 21 “King of the Damned”

Image via The CW

Even if Crowley wasn’t talking to anyone specific in “King of the Damned,” these words would ring true for Season 9. After the excitement that was Season 8, the ninth season is a bit of a letdown. In some stretches, the Metatron (Curtis Armstrong) plotline does feel like torture, as does the never-ending battle to figure out what Castiel’s role on the show is post-Apocalypse. The show had again lost its direction.

Additionally, Sam is tortured in the sense that he’s possessed by an angel (who kills one of their closest allies), Dean is tortured in that he receives the Mark of Cain and ends the season as a demon, and Crowley is tortured in that he’s significantly less effective this season than he was the last. After a stellar eighth season, the follow-up is subpar. At least it sets up some interesting stuff.

10

“Family cares about you, not what you can do for them.”

Season 10, Episode 17 “Inside Man”

Image via The CW

For Supernatural‘s tenth season, the show went back to its roots by focusing largely on Sam and Dean, which didn’t give some of the supporting cast a ton to do. Still, Dean’s remark to Crowley here in “Inside Man” reminds us that even though Castiel and Crowley weren’t exactly the standouts of Season 10, the audience was still invested in them. Perhaps that even goes for Sam and Dean as well.

Put aside the weird friendship between Dean and Crowley, and this whole scene just speaks to the existence of the entire show. After all, Dean also quotes Bobby’s Season 3 line here about family not ending in blood. It’s a full-circle moment that perfectly embodies the themes of the season, which extends also to Crowley’s mother…

Who knew that Kendall Taylor upgrading his wife’s ring would stir family drama? Yet that’s what seems to have happened this week with Fantasia and her father, Joseph Barrino. Days after Taylor proposed to the singer and gave her an 11-carat ring for 11 years of marriage, Barrino accused his son-in-law of theft. In response, Fantasia went OFF on her dad, and even exposed his recent arrest record. Now, Kendall Taylor has stepped to the front to clear his own name!

Kendall Taylor Says He Requested A Prenup Years Ago

On Wednesday (Feb. 18), Taylor went live on social media to defend his and his wife’s name. For context, the couple married in July 2015 after dating for three weeks.

In one clip captured by The Shade Room, the husband clarified that when he met Fantasia, he was already running a multi-million dollar company. “That means her success, her career didn’t build me, didn’t shape me,” Kendall Taylor said. He went on to describe his business education and certifications and his gratitude for it all, including overcoming adversity. Elsewhere in his live, Taylor explained that he asked Fantasia for a prenup just so her family wouldn’t accuse him of being after her money.

Social Media Applauds Taylor Stepping In

In The Shade Room’s comment section, more than 2,000 reactions poured in after a repost of Kendall Taylor taking the mic! Reactions were mixed as supporters debated whose side they were leaning on. Some supported the husband speaking out and highlighted his love for Fantasia. Meanwhile, others gave the dad some credibility and yet some called him out for shading his daughter’s marriage.

@cashmase commented, “That might be the most honorable, sincere, and humble flex I’ve ever heard. The message was delivered with respect and class. When you allow God to speak through you, it just hits different. 🙌🏾”

“One thing about this man is that he let’s Fantasia shine without trying to be seen himself. I’ve seen videos of them out together and he normally stays in the background. I love this for her,” @mstosha37086 added.

@pack_8clap1 made a comparison, writing, “We not saying he lyin but Todd Tucker told us the same thing.” 

@orenee___ added, “Why if the husband’s always be so “ established “ …. do they somehow end up in CEO & managerial positions of their wives careers? Like why don’t they just keep doing whatever they were doing before, if it was so beneficial 🤷🏽‍♀️. I mean the old folks used to say “ don’t mix your money with your honey.” 

“And that’s why she calls him her king,” @taysherelle said.

“Unpopular opinion… people need to get sued more for defamation of character,” @authorjon wrote.

@insta_gram808 added, “He Didnt clear up what the father said tho….About that missing money and blaming it on the worker who got fired.”

@jhasmine_pt_2 commented, “Sometimes people (like her dad) will point out when someone else is “using you” so that they can be the only ones around to use you 🙇🏾‍♀️” 

@heisolivertwixt wrote, “Can anyone connected to Fantasia please tell her that no one cares about what her father says and her and her king responding is making it worse and bigger. Y’all are currently in good standing with the people. We all looked at the Daddy and kept scrolling. Please, disengage. Yall are feeding the sickness.” 

@smartboy1983 said, “You never know who is telling the truth. The father might be right.”

“Hmmm… Something aint right yall… my pattern recognition is saying something aint right with the husband…cant put my finger on it though,” @peppernn22 commented.

“He came stepping behind his wife. Gott respect this,” @beautyana757 added.

What Was Said Between Joseph Barrino & Fantasia?

As mentioned, Joseph Barrino labeled Fantasia’s husband a thief in at least two social media posts. The first was a repost of Kendall’s on-stage proposal this past Valentine’s Day. In that report, the father said Taylor was faking crying, and that he was only giving back money that a “fired financial committee says he probably stole.” Additionally, on Facebook Live, the dad again asked for prayers for his famous daughter and spoke of teaching her not to be manipulated. He also questioned the words Kendall Taylor used in his Valentine’s Day proposal.

When Fantasia caught wind, she dragged Joseph Barrino for filth in a now-deleted post, saying that he’s nothing but a donor and not her dad. She also threatened to expose him on Wednesday night, but ultimately didn’t. In her post, Fantasia included screenshots of her dad’s arrest record from 2024, in which he’s charged with misdemeanor domestic violence. Joseph Barrino did not respond to his daughter, but seemingly made his Facebook account private following her clapback.

Working in fashion, I’ve learned that sometimes, the smallest tricks can make a huge difference. It can be as easy as choosing a chunky boot over a slim, pointed-toe heel, scrunching your sleeves instead of rolling them or — as many pros will tell you — adding a belt. I really began relying on the last fashion trick during my postpartum phase. The right style not only gives simple outfits an elevated, wealthy twist, but it also works to cinch the waist, creating a longer, leaner look.

After seeing so many belted outfits pop up on my Instagram feed this winter, I decided to add the Triworks Leather Belt Pack to my Amazon cart. Made of faux leather with a rounded metallic buckle, this luxe-looking pick is just under an inch wide, making it the ideal size to slip through belt loops on jeans or trousers. The two-pack includes two neutral color options, and while you can choose from combos like black and navy or black and coffee with a silver buckle, I opted for black and brown with gold hardware. It just felt like the most versatile option to pair with a variety of items in my wardrobe.

Get the Triworks Leather Belt Pack for $20 (was $24) at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate as of the publishing date but are subject to change.

Even when I’m wearing a button-down blouse and jeans, these belts completely transform my look. They provide that little something extra, much like a bold necklace or a scarf, making even the most basic outfit feel intentional and stylish. At 5’0,” I also enjoy playing around with proportions, so I’ll often belt a sweater dress or blazer to define my waist, elongating my bottom half to make me appear taller.

A full winter wardrobe overhaul? Not necessary. Sometimes the best style moves are the smallest ones — a new layer here, a standout accessory there or just one versatile piece that suddenly makes everything else in your closet feel new again. When temperatures drop (and expenses stack up), winter dressing is all about working smarter […]

Plus, while belts are a great way to cinch your midsection and look slimmer in bulky winter clothing, they also add flair to summer outfits when layering feels impossible. The styling hack is really a year-round winner!

This particular duo looks pricier in person, thanks to the designer appeal — and shoppers agree that it’s a must-have for every fashionista.

“The faux leather looks polished and well-made, with a smooth finish that doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy,” one person wrote. “The belts are lightweight yet sturdy, and the buckles feel secure while adding a clean, stylish touch. The skinny profile is especially nice — it’s flattering and easy to style without overpowering an outfit.”

Others who have purchased the belts also comment on how great a deal it is, even when the pack is not on sale.

“This two-pack of women’s leather belts in brown and black with gold buckles is very classy looking,” a reviewer wrote. “The design is simple yet elegant, making them versatile enough to pair with casual or dressy outfits. Great value for two timeless colors, and the gold buckles add a stylish touch.”

It should come as no surprise that, as preppy, rich mom style continues to trend, similar belt styles were all over the fall 2026 runway. With Tory Burch, Tibi, Ralph Lauren and more featuring sleek, simple belts in their collections, now is clearly the time to invest in one (or two!) of your own. Grab the Triworks duo now while it’s slightly discounted!

Whew! Sometimes the past just won’t stay buried — and no one’s safe. Former ‘America’s Next Top Model’ contestant Tiffany Richardson and rapper JT are back in the spotlight, and Tyra Banks’ legacy is right at the center of the conversation. Now, fans are buzzing as old cast dynamics collide with fresh social media energy. And let’s just say… it’s messy.

Former ‘ANTM’ Contestant Calls Out JT

On Wednesday, Tiffany Richardson took to her Instagram account to respond to JT, who recently defended Tyra Banks amid the backlash from the ANTM anti-documentary. In a recent Instagram Story, JT posted a picture of Tyra with the caption: “Singling Tyra out like it wasn’t a whole panel…” — seemingly defending Tyra against criticism.

And you already know, Tiffany didn’t hold back. In a direct caption aimed at JT, she wrote:

” [JT] I understand but what I don’t understand is why you be talking all that money talk and broke I KNOW YOU STRUGGLING RIGHT NOW AND YOUR MUSIC TRASH BUT BABY TYRA WAS FAKE AND PRETENDED TO CARE ABOUT US BLACK GIRLS BUT SHE DIDN’T!! BIH HOW SHE LOVE US BUT WOULDN’T EVEN GET THE RIGHT PEOPLE TO DO BLACK GIRLS HAIR AND MAKE UP! She was a bully and fake af just like I hear yo weird a** is PERIOD AND ONCE AGAIN I SAY, YO MUSIC HORRIBLE LIKE REAL BAD carry on”

Looks Like Tiffany’s IG Won’t Stay Quiet

Fans ran straight to Tiffany Richardson’s Instagram comment section, and let’s just say, there were no holds barred. Many shared that JT needs to step aside, while others claimed Tyra Banks did those girls dead wrong back in the day. Of course, tons of Tiffany supporters were showing love, reminding everyone that she was that girl on the show.

One Instagram user @rootedwomxn said, “Tiff got all the time!!! Baby I don’t blame you.“

This Instagram user @bigtroublebaby added, “I love you babe!!! Accountability is clearly the difference!“

And, Instagram user @allikatt8402 wrote, “JT wanna do everything except work on her stage performance or accept that Uzi is…nvm“

Meanwhile, Instagram user @keirapretty_______ shared, “Yall done woke Tiffany up and I’m here for it! …Stand on BIG BUSINESS ❤️”

While Instagram user @maybelline_toya commented, “JT mind your business OMFG“

Lastly, Instagram user @destianies added, “mannnn birds gon be birds🙄”

Tiffany Also Calls Out Tyra’s Bullying Behavior

Time doesn’t erase drama, and for Tiffany Richardson, some wounds from ‘America’s Next Top Model’ still sting. The Netflix docuseries ‘Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model’ reopened old scars, reminding fans of the tensions behind the camera. And, Tiffany made it clear she hasn’t forgotten. In a now-deleted Instagram post, she called out Tyra Banks as a “bully,” claiming she lied in the series and detailed how Tyra treated her on and off camera. “You know how you treated me the whole time off and on camera, YOU WAS A BULLY!!!” Tiffany wrote. “You treated me like shit and said the nastiest things about me and my son.”

Her frustration stems from one of the most infamous moments in ‘ANTM’ history, when Tyra yelled at Tiffany for supposedly not taking the competition seriously. “I have never in my life yelled at a girl like this. When my mother yelled at me like this, it’s because she loves me,” Tyra screamed in the 2005 episode. “I was rooting for you. We were all rooting for you.” That scene became iconic — memed, discussed, and replayed for years — but for Tiffany, it’s still a raw reminder of the treatment she endured.
