I really need to watch "Traitors," huh? Especially now that I've binged S3-8 + one S9 Summer House and I love Ciara. And oh MAN am I the biggest Boston Rob fangirl from "Survivor," so this needs to happen. I don't believe he didn't know about Scandoval; he is WAY too savvy. But I understand his feigning ignorance; he's so good at catching people off guard. Will reserve full opinion till I watch, but I could see him really having Sandoval's number and using it to his advantage.

Heh, well that could be a benefit!

I could actually see Lala and Tom Sandoval getting together. He wants kids and yeah they've brawled, but I could see him actually enjoying someone mature and sober who won't take his shit, especially after what I've read about him and Victoria. And most alcoholics in recovery are pretty forgiving. She's not friends with Arianna anymore. And now they don't have to make drama for the show. I could see it.

Meh. SAH is flourishing and VPR may have hit bumps, but is still huge.

https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/why-ariana-madix-is-relieved-about-vanderpump-rules-season-12-shakeup/ Honestly, as sad as I am to lose one of my comfort shows, this could actually get really epic. With old VPR on The Valley, the new visiting SAH and maybe TomTom...VPR could truly become something like never before, really. Well, I can hope :) Still going to miss the familiarity of the old though. But I do think it was probably a wise decision on Bravo's end.

I'm honestly devastated.

"Nobody Wants This" is AWESOME!!!

So wait, I thought Brittany was soooooo bad of a drinker? How could he ever feel safe leaving his son with her? Dick.

Catching up later and as usual, this forum brings so much insight and interesting takes. I think Ariana WAS mean, but I also can't imagine how she was feeling. I'm a big fan of hers and relate to her a lot when it comes to depression and anxiety struggles. And I personally think she does deserve her current success. As others have pointed out, many really talented people never get to be on Broadway. I used to pursue acting, not musical theater, but I know the game. Ariana is playing it well! And commercials? BANK. Yeah she got these opportunities from the scandal, but she got on reality TV to begin with, which might not get people Oscars, but is still a huge get in the industry. All that said, I've always had a soft spot for Raquel and bought a galaxy light because of her! So really, I just wish the best for everyone involved. I'm so messy just existing, can't imagine living my life in front of cameras! Yeah I'd probably be less anxious about how much gas I can put in my car later, but still. Oh and I meant to say in my post, even before Scandoval, I was truly impressed with Ariana and Tom's cocktail book. It is creative, funny, and downright beautiful. She was hustling for her sandwich shop (that I so want to go to!) before all this too. I think she seems like a very hard worker!!!

It truly is.

That's funny, but I've always kind of thought they'd be a good couple. Always thought they had chemistry and while I'm glad she knocked off the flirting because he was with Katie, she has always found him attractive. And I could see his specific brand of passivity meshing really well with hers of aggression. And I could see him being really good with her baby!

She resembles Katie!

There might be an official reason I haven't seen, but my first thought was that it was a way of her taking back control of the name that belongs to her. Personally I was in the camp that calling her Rachel as a dis was an asshole move, and think it's kind of awesome if she was like, "Oh yeah, you think you're clever calling me by my birth name? Suck on it." But that's JMO/hope :)

Haha, I actually GOT a galaxy light after this ep -- thought it was awesome! I love all kinds of cool and pretty lights :)
