I'm no Katie Maloney fan, but in all of these interactions with Raquel, I am 100% Team Katie. There is something wrong with Raquel. I don't know what it is - narcissism, psychopathy, dropped on head as infant, but something is wrong with her. She is narcissistic and lacks empathy like the typical psychopath, but she also lacks the ability to fake socially acceptable responses, or at least keep the socially inappropriate ones inside. It's as though the part of her brain that is related to social mores was replaced with a larger capacity for saying "Umm" very slowly. But she had me fooled. She's a Potemkin Village of a person. I found it pretty telling that she was fake crying tears of tremendous relief at no longer having to pretend to give a shit about children with disabilities. It's not that everyone has to want to work with kids with disabilities, it's that she chose to pretend she did, and then felt such relief that she was no longer victimized by the beauty pageant system's demands of "being a good person". The option to "not lie" never seemed to occur to her?

Kinda seems none of Sandy's girlfriends really want to have sex with him. And he tried to blame his "hippie" friends for it, too. Typical Schwartz.

Wow, it was 85 minutes!? Definitely stopped for me at 63 minutes. I’m on the west coast and was also watching live. Slice has been hyping this show like crazy for weeks. Episode airs and right when it’s getting good, they cut it short for a rhom rerun! Smdh

Godammed Slice tv just ended the show at the 60 minute mark. Right in the middle of Raquel exposing her inner demon. There will be a strongly worded letter to follow!!! Also, I’m not saying there’s a secret world of lizard people living amongst us. But, if it turned out Raquel is one, I wouldn’t be that surprised.

“Brightest” star? Well I guess Schwartz is out.

Yes! And then was she tearless crying over how hard it was for her to pretend to be someone who would want to work with children with disabilities? And those tears were cathartic too because she is so relieved she doesn’t have to pretend to care about children? Aww jeez, there’s also a dab? I’m layers of uncool.

Exactly @chlban I don’t think anyone is saying the breakup should never have happened. I mean people change, they grow apart, whatever. It’s the cowardly, despicable way he did it that rankles. He has a habit of cheating his way out of relationships, which looks to me like a bet hedge anyway. Never treat people like a backup plan, essentially a long term partner. He sucks.

That says a lot about her. Lemme find the meanest, pettiest, nastiest person on the show, and when I do, I’ll ride with her! Total Gretchen.

And that spray can “GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE, LALA!”

And Katie being all bitter bug about it. Poor Kristina Kelly not realizing she is now an entry in Katie’s enemies book.

Oh, I took it like , “I’ll pass”, with the multi added for emphasis.

Make it a family multi pass please — I’m in too

The wine list — just varietals? Is this a new thing? (Also saw it on a cruise ship, so legit question.) And what is “chiled red”? Anyone?

I could see maybe Raquel getting dropped, but not Sandoval.

I just rewatched the very first episode ever, and I can say without a shadow of a doubt, that Stassi is the infection in the bloodstream. Katie and Kristen actually came across as pretty nice people. Full of themselves sure, but not the meanies they became.

I don't think it's open yet. Katie did say that all the merch buying is helping them get the money they need to get going on it. So for people who like their sandwiches put on a plate wrapped in brown paper and tied with string (? -- do not understand or appreciate this presentation, but whatever), I'd say the wait might be getting shorter.

I think I might sometimes be a little unfair to Katie, but that "Awww, Thanks everyone!" Instagram thing she did. Puleeze. Thanking everyone for supporting, "me and Ariana and our sandwich shop" Erm, I'm going to say, conservatively, that about 98% of the merchandise-buying support is support for Ariana, so best put her name first in that list. Katie! Succession -- we tried one episode. Hub and I both felt there were no likeable characters, so it turned us off...does it get better?

She looks a little too much like a hostage here. And Sandoval looks like a complete creep. Sordid Tales -- Trapped and forced to model for Tom Sandoval's lash extensions 'n' falsies company! Also the braids. Come on now! I believe the word you are looking for is "douche".

We really need a "pitiful" - icon.

I don't see that there's a definitive right or wrong thing to do regarding the resort room. But can no one ever just be the bigger person. Like ever? Just even one time? Could Scheana just flipping let Katie attend or not attend the wedding? N, she can't because zoinks, *mY wEdDiNg!!!*. In my view, you get one "my wedding!!" opportunity in life -- sometime in your twenties, and for the first wedding. Anything after that and you just look pathetic, which Scheana does. Could Katie, after meangirling Scheana for the past ten years just take the offer of money for the room and go stay at another resort? No, she can't because that would make it too hard to mock the wedding live and make her shitty comments to the other guests. Despicable. Just once I would love to see one of them be the bigger person -- genuinely -- with no shitty, snarky, assholish comments in a TH after. Are any of them capable of it?

Exactly. And we have been robbed of our righteous indignation ;) Lala has had it coming for so long, she finally gets a teensy weensy bit of it, and we can't enjoy it as we should. There are no winners here.

Raquel is another one of these Bravo women who have absolutely squandered her fan support. (Like Erika Jayne and Heather from SLC.) She would have had so much support, from every corner, going up against Lala and her unbelievably ballsy hypocrisy and the entire mocking mean girl team. I can imagine how she would have been really, enthusiastically cheered on. But who has the energy for that now, knowing what we know? Yeah, the mean girls were mean, Lala still sucks, but geez Raquel, you suck too.

I’m watching this episode and Rachel’s “panic attack “ and lecturing Lala about sleeping with other people’s boyfriends! while knowing she’s carrying on a secret affair with Sandoval. I don’t even know what to say. Disney villain is the perfect term! I am sorry I forgot who said it, but hat’s off to you

This is hard for me because I don’t know who to root for in the battle of Rachel vs Lauren 😑 On the one hand, it’s so satisfying to see Lala get a little of the shit she’s been giving out for years. But on the other, it’s Raquel giving it. 😑 They both suck, it’s true. But Raquel’s lousy is fresher. Dilemma

Alright everyone, let’s start looking for clues! (Which I guess we should take to another thread?)
