Carolina Girl

Yeah - I'm thinking I need to find new things to bother me. Which is hilarious in light of Lala's idiot quip that her back hurt from her having to "carry" the show this season. Which does make you wonder if this "hiatus" due to Ariana's commitments is just the prelude to a cancellation in about four months. I wonder if Lala and Scheana are hard at work endeavoring to get in on The Valley.

Why do I think Production DID know. After all, they're following these chucklekfucks with cameras all the time. Wouldn't they know things are going on. And Scheana and her tracking. Certainly she kept tabs on Rachel. Didn't she catch on that she was at Sandoval's while Ariana was away. This is why there are moments where I think we're all being played for suckers by this cast and crew. I just think that Rachel threw a curve ball into the script when she didn't want to come back. They all want to be actors - there's no reason to believe a lot of this bullshit is genuine. I know, I know....put your tinfoil hat back on and go find a corner, Carolina......you haven't had enough coffee yet.

Oh hell, at the Reunion last year, didn't they reveal that they had already sold over $250K just in merch? I imagine it's gotten to be a lot more in the past year. Is anyone buying the "Give Them Lala" cheap rebranded cosmetics? And how much income does Scheana get from the podcast.

The way her mind works (very evident when she was with Rob and Adam) I have no doubt she had fantasies that he would leave Brandi and be with her. Oh, he would leave Brandi, Scheana - but believe me, he would not leave her for a NOBODY.

I don't know if they'd admit this show is finished at the Reunion. I mean, what is there to come back TO? Scandoval has run its course, Ariana has moved out, Schwartz is a simpering nasty piece of pudding, Lala is singularly phony and uninteresting, despite the screaming, Katie is just THERE, really, Schena and that jerk she married get on my last nerve and frankly James and Ally serve only as a warning not to buy a home near an airport. So I'll be interested to see if they jimmy up something in the hiatus to get someone to tune in. Unless that taking "VPR" off their Instagram or whatever was designed to spur interest in them coming back.

I love this telegraphing by her to the DWTS producers - PICK MEEEE! I dunno honey - your past isn't the greatest - people DO remember Cibriani....

True dat. BTW I have to ask - am I the only one that DOESN'T believe Scheana's BS story that she didn't know Eddie was married? I mean come ON, you just have to hit Google - and this is a girl who literally keeps tabs on everyone's whereabouts.

Ariana can tell Bravo production anything she wants. That's not evidence - that's hearsay. Rach-cakes needs to produce someone who actually received the video and so far I haven't heard a name mentioned. Under discovery rules, she'll have to reveal WHO has information relative to the allegations of a civil complaint which would then allow this person to be deposed - UNDER OATH. They may tell a different story when perjury is involved. I think Rachel thought she'd get some publicity - like that attention-grab with the TRO - and that maybe Bravo might even cut her a check to make it all go away. Instead, if she loses (and I can see a summary judgment coming her way), she is going to find herself responsible for attorneys' fees and costs incurred by Ariana and/or Tom in the action.

THAT's the word for him I tried to conjure up earlier.. Thank you (senior moments, doncha know?).

Now imagine in it that ridiculous semi-comatose voice of hers.....

Rachel reminds me of that woman in Gone Girl, who is fucking the married Ben Affleck with wild abandon while his wife is missing, and then shows up at a press conference dressed like Shirley Temple in a Pink frou-frou dress with a pretty pink bow in her hair. You're not the Madonna, hon. Own it. By the way, wasn't she also trying to get it on with Garcel's son earlier in the season? The ambiguously MARRIED son? Which was the catalyst for all the sturm and drang between her and Lala over the meaning of the word "mistress" IIRC. That being said, if Ariana and Tom shared the video outside their little threesome then either or both is flat out wrong. But if the "I was groomed" idiot is trying to collect millions from Ariana sending the video to HER, I think she's going to find an unsympathetic jury. And I'm not so sure about her credibility. After all, she took out a fucking TRO against Scheana in L.A. based on an incident in New York, the details of which are highly suspicious. Can't make a fist with those nails. Can't make a fist, can't punch. If she was going to claim violence against her person, she should have said Scheana slapped her. Scheana admits to pushing her away from her, and I can see that minor cut resulting from a shove. If I'm on that jury and the gist of the prima facie case is that Ariana sent the video back to Rachel with a caustic note, I'm awarding her the sum on $1.00 for the "damage" to her reputation.

There are women who are enamored of famous assholes in prison and write and send the photos - eg., the Menendez Brothers for starters.

I am of the EXACT same opinion. I also think she was promised lots and lots of extra screen time. Oh please she couldn't carry this show if they gave her a fucking industrial grade forklift.

Question - we know Scheana SAID that Jeremiah told everyone to do this but was it on film? Because frankly I can see Scheana saying that to justify her crap behavior. But I loved the look on that jerk's face when Ariana unloaded on him. You have to wonder if Jeremiah told the producers to leave that in because he was stupid enough to think it made Ariana look bad for walking out. Uh, no, dude. It made you and Tommy the Turd look like the shits you are. I would like to think that when the execs saw this he was given his walking papers, but knowing Andy Cohen for the piece of shit he is, he probably gave him a raise and a bonus.

Which is why I think that whole text message was producer driven. They wanted Rachel to come back and probably thought that if she thought Lala would put a lid on the mean-ness, she'd find her way back. Is snotting at Ariana with Katie's remarks part of this new nicer Lala that she's been touting all this time? Or is the jealous bitch that has no career outside of LVP and will probably now be stuck in THE VALLEY showing her true colors?

So sorry - I was referring to Scheana in that remark. You probably aren't lost. I may have accidentally dropped a sentence and not realized it.

Jeremiah is as much a walking turd as Tommy. I'm willing to bet that asshole is one of the ones that has been pushing and pushing for Ariana to interact with Tommy the Turd when she probably signed on with the proviso that she NOT have to deal with him. And screw you Scheana. You're a low-budget, no-talent wanna-be that is about to either move to The Valley or go back to waitressing. See how much Sandoval does for you when the cameras aren't rolling.

If it's multiple choice, pick this one. Because he's a big fan of Tommy Turd and will be happy to put down Ariana and her failure to "reach out" to him.

Tom's bitching about her collecting a paycheck and speaking so mean about the rest of the cast was such a jr. high move. He's just pissed that they didn't film him with everyone - he had to have his new age events and one or two cast show up. I fast-forwarded through all of his interactions with the D-Listers because I could not care less about what Billie Lee and Kyle Chan have to say about ANYTHING. As far as I can tell, Ariana did not go on the Tahoe trip and neither did Katie. She looks like she filmed enough to give her a decent amount of screen time each week. I wouldn't judge it compared to Scheana and Lala, though - because those two attention whores work overtime to get on camera.

Oh, I completely forgot about the milking of episodes. Wouldn't surprise me if it was a actor hired for this.

I agree - I seem to recall he was a reall creep at Scheana's? wedding, with more than one person commeniing on his behavior. And speaking of creepy - that VIP area crasher (Peacock extended footage) was nutty 9 ways to Sunday. First he's dancing and rubbing against the cast, stealing their alcohol and turning violent. Can't think why they couldn't include that in the broadcast version. And need to ask my fellow San Frans on the thread - Were they on Treasure Island for this shindig? I notice that the view from the Deck was the suspension portion of the Bay Bridge and the Embarcadero skyline -- and it was too close for it to have been Emeryville.

I find it interesting that once she discovered Sandoval's cheating and duplicity, Ariana told. her friends, without equivocation. that if they were going to continue to be friends and hang with him, she wasn't interested in being around them. In many way she's explained why in last season's finale, when that moron - "shucks I'm just a silly puppy dog guy" - Schwartz,showed up at the girls' get together and Ariana I believe told him point blank - "if you're here to stick up for that asshole, you can leave now." That was the one thing she didn't want or need - people who would be engaging her later with how contrite Tom was and offering various explanations of why essentially they still needed to be friends with him. Which is PRECISELY what those two attention whores Lala and Scheana did. (This would be the same Lala that went after Tom and Rachel and took up 70% of the reunion (or so it seemed0 screeching at them (probably to make up for screen time she felt robbed of this season)). At the beginning of this season, Lala was all about "I'm new and improved." Somehow this new any improved only extended to those people who would afford her extra screen time. (I still think that text to Rashel was producer driven in a last-ditch attempt to get her back on the show by indicating that Lala would be kind to her going forward.}. However, this did to extend to Ariana - probably because Lala's acting career was in the shitter now that the Chinless Wonder wasn't getting her parts in his movies and Ariana was fielding offers left and right. But that final comment of Tommy the Turd - "That's good for me!" tells me everything.

Notice she doesn't have anyone panting after her. Maybe after they've seen who and what she'd blow to get a ride In a private jet, there's a real "ick" factor attached to her. Are there any reunion spoilers out there? I'm not tuning in if it's nothing but a Sandoval redemption tour with everyone going after Ariana for stating her position and sticking to it. I imagine it will Lala hijacking it like she did last year. No one wants to talk about her pregnancy and she has no other storyline other than to bitch about everyone else's. Supposedly Rachel says she's ready to "move on" from VPR. To what? The woman is singularly uninteresting and dumb as a box of rocks. And really - how the hell do all these people with voices like nails om a chalkboard have a podcast that relies heavily on AUDIO??? Makes no sense. I think in the end, we'll all really be a variation of Andy Warhol's 15 minutes -- EVERYONE will have a podcast...

Oh I was sure the Chinese Restaurant they visited was a Bravo set up. But DO go to Henry's Hunan if you're in the City folks. It's really worth it..

That's called THEFT. She should have pressed charges.
