Let's be honest. This show was on life support before the news of the affair broke. I have admitted I stopped watching during Jax and Brittney's wedding season but, like Kristen, I'm back. No chance Sandoval is getting fired. And let's not forget, Andy never felt compelled to fire Jen Shaw, Teresa Guidice ir Erika Jayne, all of whom participated in hurting a lot of people financially. All Tom did was cheat. I'm not defending him, he is awful, but there is no crime here. And, clearly, it wouldn't matter if there was.

JLH wasn't part of the original cast. She pretty much ruined the show first me. I haven't watched at all this season, although it's still on my DVR.

I am embarrassed to admit this, but I have missed Kristen. She is just the right level of crazy for BRAVO TV. Still say the best season was her stalking Tom and Arriana and dragging Miami girl into it. I am glad she will get her "I told you so" moment, even though I am sure she won't say those exact words.

It is certainly sad for the children. Kathryn is a train wreck, always has been. People like those two should not procreate. It is just unfair to the children.

I gave up on this show a few seasons back, although I had really liked the first couple of seasons. I am only back because of the affair. I assume I am not alone in that. It is far more I interesting knowing what we know.

Some women don't want to know and I don't find it surprising that always smug Arianna is one of them. She totally believed Tom about Miami Girl and that was at the very beginning of their relationship that had started with him cheating on Kristen with her.

For me Sheana is, and has always been, like Kristen. I can't say I like the., but they make for good TV. They are both pretty delusional, Kristen is meaner but Scheana is dumber. I still say VP's best season was Kristen stalking Tom and Ariana and bringing us Miami Girl. It's a fine line on these shows to be as entertaining as they both can be, without making viewers truly hate them. Some of the Housewives started out this way, but eventually the Audience wanted them gone. Brandi and Lisa Rinna come to mind. I am sorry they fired Kristen and would not want Scheana to leave the show. But you couldn't pay me to hang with them IRL.

Ah, poor Tom. The Narcissist acts as this is something that "happened" to him. Being cheated on is something that happens to a person. Being diagnosed with an illness happens. Tom created this mess and now wants to play victim? Um, no. Just no.

Real Housewives in the Media

Probably to extend Vanderpump Rules. They finished filming, then started up again to get all the drama about Sandoval cheating on Ariana. -

I have a neighbor that is Gay, as is her older sister and so was her brother, who sadly died of AIDS many years ago. So all kids in the family are/were gay. Mom and Dad both straight. -
S13.E10: The Italian Invasion
chlban replied to TexasGal's topic in The Real Housewives Of New Jersey
Now this made me honesty laugh out loud. I cannot make it through an Episode, but can't give up the Forum because of Gems like this. -
So true. That is really what prompted the question. I have never cared for Arianna, too smug, but there really aren't any women, or men, on this show I can honestly say I like. I detest Lala and always have. I just saw Raquel as dumb, in part for putting up with James, but now I wonder if it was stupidity or cunning. It got her, and kept her, on the show. Big price to pay for Fame, but now she has "scored" a bigger fish in the VP Universe, even if everyone now hates her. You are also absolutely right about the fact that men don't always leave for prettier or younger. It happened to a gorgeous, kind friend of mine. He left her for a slightly older, slightly overweight and overall plain woman. My friend was busy raising kids and working full time. Her replacement thought he hung the moon and he wanted that. Then, of course, those old enough to have lived through the saga, will remember shaking our heads in wonder when Prince Charles, married to the beautiful Diana, wanted nothing more than to be with the older, far less attractive Camilla. Twenty years later both he and Camilla seem to be forgiven for their cheating scandal. Presumably it won't take as long for Tom and Raquel. I wonder if they will last.

All this. I can still remember totally self absorbed Sheana explaining that her addict husband had to keep drinking because it was part of their lifestyle, but he could drink less. She is seriously delusional. Shay didn't say much, but I remember him saying she never listened to him, which is 100% believable.

Even Raquel isn't that dumb or desperate.

Well, to be honest, a girl has to be at least a little crazy to get involved with any of these guys and going from James to Sandoval? I am pretty sure this is a sympathy play, but this level of hate must be hard to handle.

So, to be clear, I am not defending Tom or Raquel, but watching these retuns off and on over the past couple if weeks I am curious. Kristen cheated on Sandoval with one of her very best friends (at that time) boyfriend, Jax. Jax and Tom were supposedly good friends as well. Tom cheated with Ariana when he was with Kristen and we all now know he definitely cheated on Ariana early on with Miami girl. So why the reaction to this. Yes, Tom and Ariana had a longstanding relationship but so did Tom and Kristen. Did Jax get a pass because everyone already knew he was a sleaze. Because, honestly, I have long seen Sandoval as the Narcisstic sleaze he is, although he knew how to behave better th basically fooled us allan Jax in public-which could just indicate he's a Sociopath. Or is the reaction because Ariana has always been so smug that she convinced us they had the perfect relationship? Or is it that we just feel duped that Dumb Raquel just fooled us all? Just really curious, I don't claim to know. But, considering the history of many of these chuckleheads, The rage at Tom and Raquel may seem just a bit hypocritical. Thoughts?

I'm not going to lie I was done with this show the season of the JAX/Brittany wedding. I can't stand either of them so I just stopped watching. I am basically only skimming the show now waiting to get to the big revelation and the subsequent fall out. Scheanna's endless Narcissism and Delusions can be minimally entertaining but, basically, the show is truly boring.
-
Yes, I agree they both need to go, but I honestly don't think they will. I read the ratings literally doubled after the news broke. This is Bravo, Teresa Guduice went to prison, they kept Jen Shaw on after being charged with multiple felonies and Erika Jayne, who may or may not have known her husband was stealing from victims to finance her "career" and has stated, quite emphatically, that she doesn't care about the victims. So, these three remain and they are going to fire two consenting adults for having an affair? They will probably both get big raises.

They better be careful firing Raquel and not Sandoval. I worked as Risk Manager for many years and we faced an affair between a married man and a single woman that was causing a great deal of turmoil and distraction. Naturally, our nale boss thought firing the woman, who would have been , by far, the easiest to replace. Our legal department said no way in hell. We had no "cause" to fire either of them and if we wanted to find cause, we damn well better find it on both of them. I realize a TV production has different standards overall but, it's still sexism to fire the "other woman" and keep the cheating creep. It takes two. If no one is willing to film with her, fine, fire her. But they better fire him as well.

So these Chuckleheads actually got mentioned on ABC'S local newscast this morning. Like legit news, not a show where they all sit around making stupid jokes and do cooking segments. They explained it, called it Scandoval and also mentioned that the first show after the scandal broke VR ratings more than doubled from the week before. Since I think this show has been on life support, that has to be great news for the cast and Lisa and, of course Andy.

I think Lala is way worse than Stassi. Stassi actually evolved and I remember some of her comments were pretty funny. She also worried about driving Beau away and at least tried to change. Lala thinks she is perfect. Nothing is ever her fault. She is vile.

Not just you. Shay seemed nice in the beginning. Russell, Rob or whatever his name was, and Adam clearly just wanted screen time but Brock is just totally Skeevy. And I got that vibe before I knew he was a deadbeat dad. He'll probably stick around as long as Scheana is supporting him.

Scheana’s taste in men is really unbelievable. Not only does she not learn anything, they actually keep getting worse.

I would never use any professional that appears o any of these shows. However, there are plenty if people that will chase any celebrity connection-yeah, I know Celebrity is a stretch, but being on TV is enough for some-so it may add to his business. But, a Doctor? That is scary.
