Wow…I didn’t even notice that. (I was watching on Peacock, and TBH I had to rewind a lot of scenes because I really couldn’t follow what was being said/going on.) So much for Lala being the enlightened one.

Sandoval — for the one-zillionth time: YOU BROUGHT ALL OF THIS SHIT ON YOURSELF AND MADE IT EVERYBODY ELSE’S BUSINESS. YOU ARE NOT A VICTIM. What Rachel said in the podcast was very similar to how you justified dumping Ariana. So just STFU about your “feelings” and “pain”. You are the poster boy for “What comes around goes around.” Schwartz — run like hell from this house-hunting business that Sandoval is trying to suck you into. I can tell your Spidey-sense is at high alert. Listen to it. I’m sorry, Lala’s party was just ridiculous, and I guess Lisa was that thirsty for screen time for both herself and Villa Rosa that she agreed (after Lala more or less made it a done deal) to host it. I almost did a spit take when Lala told her at the bar that the catering was already set up. I was a little surprised that they didn’t show Lala effusively thanking Lisa for “hosting” as she did for people who showed up. I am loving James more and more every season. He sees through the BS.

I thought I read/heard that the show was going on extended hiatus after this season? Frankly, the show has reached its shelf life anyway. There’s really nothing more to be said/done here.

So the sandwich shop is finally open. Wishing Katie and Ariana the best. So Smilin’ Ann the Assistant is wearing a SAH t-shirt…something about that chick (see what I did there, yuk yuk) bugs. Always has. She’d grin through a funeral. https://la.eater.com/2024/5/22/24162723/something-about-her-ariana-madix-katie-maloney-sandwich-shop-opening-los-angeles-vanderpump-rules

I’m catching up on this season through Peacock, and my biggest issue was, is, and always will be Sandoval’s total inability to genuinely own his own actions. He thinks by shedding a few tears, acting all introspective and nice, he can just slide back into the group as if nothing had happened. Like James said, wouldn’t it have been a hell of a lot easier to break up with Ariana and just get on with it? Sandoval has always been a poseur. I’m also getting my fill of Brock, and so is Scheana, by the looks of it. TBH, though, none of these chucklefucks are looking particularly good this season.

Damn. Sandoval, with Scheana at yoga, has his first genuine emotion to the mess he caused, and then undoes it in the gondola by again blaming everybody but HIMSELF. For a split second I thought he was redeemable…nope. If life was so fucking unbearable with Ariana, he could have just broken up with her. “We didn’t mean to hurt other people.” My. Ass. And I have had my fill with Lisa basically strong-arming everybody into letting him back in to the group. Stop being his defender. The asshat did it to himself. Hippy is one cute dog. Glad James has him.

Inquiring minds STILL want to know…whatever became of that Beverly Beach investor who the Kemsleys supposedly bilked? And where is Boy George going to hang out now??

PK has been checked out of that marriage for a long while. His weird (and, frankly, sus) reaction to her PTSD was just the latest clue. He always struck me as a cold, arrogant, and controlling dick. Dorit herself can be exhausting, so combine that with PK’s chill and the writing is eventually on the wall. Really looking forward to her dramatics next season because she is the only woman in the universe who has gone through a separation/divorce, and life is hard. I am sorry for the kids, though.

Well, who didn’t see that coming?

Oops…replied to wrong message.

Bad Boy fixation?

I’m working my way through this season via Peacock and I’m hoping to be caught up by the reunion. I just finished watching Episode 3, and Sandoval is beyond pathological. I don’t believe for one minute that he understands — much less feels sorry about — what he did. He talks like he’s memorized lines in a play. Still shifty-eyed. He says whatever he thinks will get him the most sympathy, especially from Lisa. Tears? 🐊. He is not, nor ever has been, the victim here. He DID all this. His meeting with Scheana in the alley was cringe, even more so than when he showed up at her house in last season’s finale. Acting like nothing was wrong and they could basically pick up their friendship? And then getting pissed when she walked away? That is the very picture of narcissism. Look it up, Sandy. Not surprised that dumbass Schwartz is still standing by him, although he and S&S were collateral damage from Sandoval’s selfishness. Schwartz just needs to keep quiet. He is not by any stretch a peacemaker. In short, Sandoval is still turning my stomach. I know I have a lot more episodes to plow through, but it’s going to take a major redemption arc to change my mind. (For those of you who read Reddit, there is an excellent post on the Vanderpump Rules subreddit about all the shit he has pulled — pretty damning.)

Watching this for the first time (not a regular watcher of this franchise but got sucked in this week, totally fascinated by the never-ending fights). It was a nice wedding. It’s just too bad Teresa was there with her tackiness. “Oh my God, here she comes.” People could take that a couple of ways, Looie. Joe and Melissa did the right thing. No sense in being hypocrites. And no, doubtful Tre and Looie paid a fraction of this. Bravo probably saw it as a safe gamble with the expected ratings. What’s the over/under on this blessed union lasting? (Liked the invite cards that introduced each segment, 🤣. I felt so honored.) EDIT: The preview of the reception.. W. T. F. 😵‍💫

I’d really like to know how they divvied up responsibility for expenses while they were still together. The whole situation is ridiculous for people who are pushing 40. Nothing says “I hate your effing guts” more than ruining a credit rating, LOL.

Watching this season on Peacock, as I can. I gotta say I still (so far) think Sandoval is a narcissistic little shit, but I think some kind of financial arrangement should have been worked out between him and Ariana with their screwed-up living situation. Sticking him with paying all the expenses is kind of messed up. How can you let stuff go for eight months? Did anything fall into arrears during that time? Just sell the damn house and split the profit. But then, Sandoval may be exaggerating most/all of this. Still comes off phony AF. Glad to see Schwartz is finally finding his balls and is standing up to his partner. Tom’s assistant/go-between/interference runner (Ann) deserves a medal for stepping up to that thankless job. EDIT — Really thought James was 👍until he pissed on the bush.

Today, we get the aftermath of the dumbass stealing a pair of sunglasses in Hawaii. Comes home, bitches about his flight and lack of sleep, then jumps on Brittany for not keeping a spotless house, and tells he the only time he was “at peace” was when he was in jail. WTF. Steroid withdrawal? Politichick, I thought of you when Brittany yelled back, “I just had a boob job!” So maybe Jax is sick of not having her clean up after him because she had surgery that he wanted. My God…there are so many red flags here concerning an abusive relationship, and this episode was well before the wedding extravaganza. It was scary to watch him. Who the fuck is going to spend any time watching these two insufferable people? Jax was more than enough on VR.

Publicity stunt or not — given that Bravo just reran the season of their gross wedding Saturday, where all Jax cared about was the cost of everything and his vodka, and Brittany was fulfilling a 6-year-old’s idea of a Barbie wedding — I think we can all say this “separation” is really no surprise. Jax was, is, and always will be a gross, self-absorbed, spoiled, angry, and selfish manchild douche. He was always going to be the most important person in that marriage, and she was either always too stupid or blind to see it. Or both. No sympathy for either of them — the kid gets it all. And since I’m having trouble keeping up with this season’s VR as it is, I probably will miss this Pine Valley Valley Village soap opera. In the immortal words of OG Vicki Gunvalson, they both make my ass tired.

Hmm. Let me see if there is an alternative…. EDIT — Try these…I got these through the “gift” feature. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/20/magazine/tom-sandoval-vanderpump.html?unlocked_article_code=1.W00.OEQk.aI8SlIPLTTfi&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&sgrp=c-cb OR… https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/20/magazine/tom-sandoval-vanderpump.html?unlocked_article_code=1.W00.OEQk.aI8SlIPLTTfi&smid=url-share

Well, here’s a first. A chucklefuck makes The New York Times Magazine, complete with the usual look of self-importance in the picture. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/20/magazine/tom-sandoval-vanderpump.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&sgrp=c-cb (Article should be available as a one-time read.)

This living arrangement of Tom’s and Ariana’s is just fucking ridiculous, and I think that’s why the “assistant” has such a stupid smile all the time. Tom should have moved out. He lost all squatter’s rights when he took up with Rachel. As hard as I find it to defend Chucklehead Schwartz, I can’t blame him for finally being angry at Sandoval. Sorry, I still have ZERO sympathy for Sandoval. Change my mind. EDIT: Once again, this is WHY you have some kind of legal agreement or contract in place before you make any major purchase like real estate, especially if marriage is not involved.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2024/02/05/ariana-madixs-chicago-broadway-record/72487839007/ Sounds like Ariana is killing it on Broadway. Good for her. And to think we knew her when she was telling Miami Girl to fuck off. I’d like to read a review but haven’t been able to find any.

If Ariana is the “villain” this season, we know who’s behind it, I think. Lala still has a lot of sway over this group. Just a lot of alarm bells going off when Lala was explaining herself to Ariana. Funny how being the “mistress” to that blob Rand never seemed to bother her before…now she’s had a “come to Jesus” moment about someone she’s hated for years? Something ain’t right.

Yeah…I’m a little underwhelmed too, but how could they top #Scandoval? I’m giving a major side-eye to Lala’s newfound empathy for Rachel. The conversation with Lisa just seemed fake.

I don’t know if I can put up with Sandoval’s whiny, petulant ass this season. Blocking Summer Moon? Pissed at Scheana for telling him the truth? But at least the dick flute is glued back together. Priorities, man.

👍to your post. Women who throw their marriages in the faces of their single friends, to me, often signal insecurity and perhaps jealousy on their own behalf. Kim actually seems more grounded than Kyle these days, and how anyone can look at Garcelle and pity her life is beyond me. For the thousandth time, AM can STFU. She’s been on this show for one hot minute and she’s passing judgments like this?
