He was 100% coked up when talking to Stassi, he might as well just put the lines out while filming and snort away.  Why hide it when you are coked up to oblivion.  

I’m starting to think that’s why he has such a hard time about Tom and Ariana not having furniture.  No table for him to do his lines off of!

Seriously, though, I don’t know how the dude hasn’t had a heart attack yet.  And there’s his wife just slamming back the Tequila shots and standing by her man.  
 

1 (maybe 2?) months into the marriage and he says you can track my phone and she is all “you know I will.”  What a nice way to live.

Wow, that’s a lot. Scary for Brittany - and Jax telling Stassi he could take it out on his wife gave me chills. Brittany’s dad will be freaked out by this episode - while her mom swoons over her son-in-law’s/fantasy-fuck’s big muscles.

Leave it to low-rent Lala to ruin a friendly post-performance dinner by instigating an argument and then sitting there with a smirk on her face, judging the participants.  Wonder how much money that D-List producer of hers is making during the lockdown.  Especially since every producer credit I've seen is shared with 30 other "producers".  

George Lucas is a producer; Randall Emmett is a go-fer with an enhanced job title.  

Oh, and I'm also calling BULLSHIT on that whole "you made your investment back already" when it comes to TomTom.  So for them to have made back THEIR investment, it means that Lisa, Ken and whatever other investors there were also made back THEIR 2.3 million?  Yeah, no.  That means the place CLEARED $6300.00 every day if it was open 7 days a week.  I could be wrong, but it sounds contrived, as a way to put that silly Garden into the plotline for next season.  Also, it can be used as an excuse NOT to give the Toms anything back on their investment for the time being. 

Of course, now that it's been shut down completely for almost two months, I'm thinking that no profits coming in may have put the kabosh on that planned "Garden" for the time being, since any banked money is covering regular monthly expenses.  I'm assuming the premises are rented, since they claimed TomTom cost something over $2 million and I'd hazard a commercial building in a prime location in WeHo is going to cost a helluva lot more than that, so the landlords will be looking for their rental payment if nothing else, and that can't be cheap.  Plus I'm sure they're still paying PG&E just to keep the lights and security system on if they need them.

How sad these two are. If Brit catches him cheating I think she will stay with him. She's the queen of excuses. She will blame it on his "depression" and say she will stand by him no matter what. He's out of control with is drug use and she's putting up with it. She has to know he's high as a kite most of the time.

And Jax saying that he worries he'll "take it out on his wife" is not going to sit well with viewers.  We have seen this piece of shit get violent on several occasions - remember tearing off the ugly sweater in Vegas and going after Frank (which was rich, considering he had already fucked Kristen, if I have my timeline correct).  He's a walking time bomb.  And I agree - her father is going to have plenty to say.

When this show is no longer on the air, or these two are cut from the cast, God only knows what they are going to do to get by.

Yup.  She’s totally going to stay with him.  She’s already laying the groundwork.  Reminding us how hard she worked to forgive him the last time.  Last time it was because his dad died.  This time will be because he is “handicapped.” Which...don’t get me started on THAT bullshit coming out of his mouth.  
 

Just wait until they spawn.  This isn’t going to stop her from trying.  Nothing stopped her from her dumb wedding, so nothing is going to stop her from her next goal.

Indeed, yes - God knows I've been diligently been searching the stores......

Hee - the best part of this?  Jax saying earlier in the season that HE was the "main guy" in the group and the fact that everyone pretty much went to Sandoval's party instead.  That was a double slap since he essentially wasn't listened to by anyone on the beach cleanup either, including his own wife.

Poor Brittany is looking at Jax and thinking she hitched her wagon to the wrong star.  If his party had not been filmed you know she would have been at Tom&Ariana’s.

Speaking of whom, T&A (heh) were on WWHL and I have to say... Tom looks a lot better with a little facial hair.  If he were to grow a full (but nicely groomed) beard he would actually be attractive.

Stassi&Beau’s house is gorgeous!  How can they afford all that?  I doubt the two of them are earning as much as the other 3 couple in their identical houses.

Lol, Ariana called Lala “Regina George.”  If this is true, Scheana is so the Gretchen Wieners!

I loved Stassi confronting Jax in a gentle way (for Stassi).  It says a lot that she’s nicer to the guy who is always first in the opening credits than her unpopular-ish ex best friend (Kristen).  It’s that cool kids mentality showing up again.

I rewound to hear it again, & she called Stassi "Regina George"! There's a Reddit post from a while back that said: "Stassi=Regina George, Katie=Gretchen Wieners, and Kristen=Karen. Change my mind."

I agree about Stassi being fine with Jax but not Kristen. Stassi seems to allow men to get away with a lot more than women (in terms of her male & female friends)...

The bones of the home & the outside are absolutely beautiful! But I'm not loving the decorating style; it's not bad, just not great in my opinion. But wow, really stunning with amazing potential...

[TattleTeeny]

I really don't see what's so scandalous about Tom & Ariana's temporary lack of furniture (and the possible continuity issue adds up, I guess). If I wanted certain furniture in a new place, I wouldn't bother buying or renting interim furniture. I mean, I'd probably bring my old stuff and get rid of it later (or take something that someone else was getting rid of anyway), but whatever.

Aside from the show, Stassi's money is coming from her best selling book and her tour (which she had to cancel due to corona virus). I'm sure that had to hurt her pocketbook.  It's all her money, Beau doesn't have shit.  If you compare her to the other couples that are on the show together and have been for a long time I don't know if she's any better off than the rest of them. 

I read that Jax was raking in $500,000 per season which made him the highest paid chucklefuck in the bunch. He brought alot of the main juicy drama for years so this is why he has this "main guy" stank attitude. Now he is all dried up, married and boring with nothing exciting on the horizon. I think this is what is driving him crazy. He better get Brit pregnant soon so they have something to make a big deal about. Otherwise they really need to cut his pay in half.

Stassi's book. It really did sell well, enough that her book tour turned into a live show with actual tour dates. Guessing Stassi gets OG money, maybe even more if she negotiated a better deal when she returned the show.

Interesting story about how Bravo and/or producers play favorites with the cast. https://pagesix.com/2020/05/12/bri-dellinger-says-bravo-wanted-to-make-stassi-schroeder-and-beau-clark-special-heroes/

[CloseThisAccount]

Not only did Brit pound that shot with a chaser from a can, she did it the second she walked in the door, still in her SUR uniform. So we have her at one end of the kitchen island slamming her shot glass in agitated desperation while at the other end of the island sweaty, twitchy Jax seems to be chopping something(?!) and yelling about the gym and Tom Sandoval.  Wedded bliss!

I applaud Tom & Ariana for having no furniture if only bc it bothered everyone else so much.

I'd be curious if they have income from the show if it's not filming and if they are paid for the episodes before the series airs.  If that's the only source of Bravo bucks, these guys have no income coming in.

I don’t understand why you would shoot premium tequila (or at least, pricy tequila). I guess... because you can? Or maybe it’s just the last thing Jax “borrowed” from SUR.

It couldn’t have been THAT much dough Stassi made on that book though, could it? Barely into the six figures at the most, especially for self-help style vanity/humor books?? And I’m sure she got a decent advance for that second book she’s writing, but I don’t see authors really making the major bucks until they’ve become worldwide best-sellers with several hit books under their belts on major book ranking lists. 
That house is pricy and will require a ton of ongoing upkeep. I just can’t imagine she and Beau being able to consistently keep afloat financially in a huge place like that; I know she’s made some good money from her book/tour/VR and comes from money herself, but it feels like they might’ve gone over their heads with such an ambitious first home purchase...hope I’m wrong.

I'll start making sure there's a camera crew in my kitchen so you can see Brittany isnt the only one who does a tequila shot in the kitchen.  I've also been known to do one in the living room and backyard. 

But never the garage or bathroom.  The garage is where you smoke pot.😉

I don't have too much to add to all of your posts except, didn't somebody refer to Katie continuing to rage text but it wasn't as bad as Jax's because hers were at 3 am?  What?

I appreciate the posts about Jax on drugs--I don't have any experience with them (I have my own problems) and this helps with the "Where is he coming from?" feeling I get when I watch him.  Does VPR even need him on the show anymore?  I don't think so.  My vote is Bye Jax.

Same with Lala.  I don't find her or her lifestyle entertaining.  Once again, does VPR need her on the show anymore?  I think not.

I really like the idea of bringing in new blood to replace the middle-agers but this new blood isn't it.  I think LVP can and should do better.  Not even going to address the Max/Bret/Dayna bs.  Go home.

I think Stassi also makes money on appearances and social media posts. For someone with her following that can be significant. But yeah, eventually this VR-related revenue stream will dry up. I hope these chucklefucks are being smart with their money. But who am I kidding?

Yah that was Tom Sandy.  If I had to guess he meant that her rage texts are at 3AM so they are drunken after the bar texts, which is somehow more reasonable than Jax who is sending them in the middle of the day (but most likely also fucked up on drugs and / or alcohol).   I see both sides, but in its entirety that this is an argument between 40 year olds is just...

Stassi’s house “only” cost a little over $2M too (I know that’s a lot but for a house that size in the Hollywood Hills it sure isn’t), so between the show, book, podcast, Marie Claire column, and appearances, I have no trouble believing they could at the very least afford a down payment. Related: I suspect something’s seriously faulty with the house, at that price.

I can’t drink tequila because it’s my ‘devil jumps in you’ drink, but co-sign on smoking yer weed in the garage!

[geauxaway]

I have no problem believing they all can afford the houses they purchased NOW.  But what about 10 years from now?  The same could be said for anyone in the real world, but most of us don’t make our money in the entertainment business.  Stassi’s shows are all currently postponed but there is no guarantee they won’t eventually be just flat out cancelled.  So yes, she was making bank on her tour, but that’s up in the air now.  
 

I also can believe Tom Tom made money in their first year.  It was definitely a destination for some (myself included, I went to LA last fall just to go to Tom Tom).   It’s the sustainability that will be iffy.  Especially now with the entire service industry on shut down.  Do they have the staying power to recover and continue to be packed every night of the week?  Only time will tell.

[politichick]

I still have to watch the episode, but I did see WWHL and Ariana explained that everyone knew they were getting some things custom made and some had even met the designer. From what I saw last night, and wish it had been more, it was well worth the wait. 

She also said that staying in the shitty one-bedroom he once shared with Kristen helped them save some of the money they needed to buy a house. I really want to see them succeed. They are hard workers and entrepreneurial and have interests other than getting drunk or high all of the time.

As someone else here noted, both Ariana and Tom and James and Raquel seemed really happy together, and they all looked good. I really adore James. Raquel, not so much, but she is tolerable when she's not acting like a dummy. 

Another person commented on how much easier Stassi is on Jax than Kristen. I'm thinking that may be because she expects less of Jax.

I really can't stand listening to Britney bray like a donkey every time a conflict occurs. I'm sure Lisa Vander$ grits her teeth each time Britney says "me and him were fightin'," or "we were havin' a pool party at Jax and I's house". ugh

Hahaha best description of those two ever!!!  I'm no fan of Dayna but if she never dates either one of them again she'll go up a few notches for me.  They are just awful.

As for LVP - as long as Brittany's willing to act like trash to bring viewers, attention and $$ to Lisa, I'm sure she's fine with it 😄 

[LibertarianSlut]

Ah yes, I do recall seeing cocktail waitresses in heels at casinos and places like casinos.  I’ve never seen it anywhere else though.  The Hooters waitresses wear white sneakers.  There seems something desperate and almost whorish about waitresses in heels IMO, but my problem with Brittany wearing them was that I think it makes it more obvious she’s not waitressing for any length of time.  They’re putting vanity above reality, which I tend to dislike.  

When SUR reopens, I want to go there every shift and ask if I can sit in Brittany’s, Raquel’s or Scheana’s sections and ask for Jax and Ariana at the bar.  When I am inevitably told that they aren’t there, over a period of weeks or months, I want to publish the results.  No one ever sees anyone but Ken and Peter there, including people I know.  I want to expose them for having fake jobs at a real restaurant.  With the exception of Raquel, they’re millionaires.  They’re not slinging pints.  When can we stop pretending?  When they have private jets?

My problem with Tom and Ariana not having furniture is that it strikes me as so fundamentally immature.  When I was 22, I threw a kegger at my virtually furniture-less condo and I thought it was cool for like a day, and then I was ashamed that people had to stand at my party.  These people are 10-15+ years older than that.  I resent the idea of doing it for continuity because that’s fake.  It means they’re showing scenes out of sequence, which I don’t respect.  

Tom and Ariana are indispensable to the show, which means they have bargaining power, and they really don’t have to agree to anything.  They could have just told the producers that they’re renting furniture while their custom-made furniture gets built, and the show can either film around it or not film them at home.  The fact that they basically said, “yeah, uh-huh” to the idea of adulting without furniture is sort of uncool.  It’s like they’re always straining to make sure everyone knows how different they are, when being different should be much more effortless.

I heard Ariana respond to Andy’s question about it on WWHL and—first of all—her face has so much filler, you can bounce a quarter off of it, and secondly, when Andy asked her about the furniture, she dodged the question and gave a really long, rambling Ariana answer wherein she said that she invites people into her home and cooks for them and makes them cocktails (all completely irrelevant info) and that everyone knew they were getting custom furniture made and they were constantly looking at samples, but people left this out of their narrative and made up this whole other thing.  

For someone who is the smartest person she knows, someone with a genius IQ, Ariana never spoke to the question of why her house had no rented furniture in it, aside from that tiny table in one episode, if her permanent furniture was in the process of being custom made.  When you have a $1.7 million home, people expect it to be furnished if they’re going to come over.  They expect it on a $170,000 home.  It’s just a matter of comfort, and if you don’t have it, people are going to say it’s janky.  

I’m a student of the books Faking It and The Lazy Intellectual, which teach how to pretend to be a wealthy, educated adult—and they’re really the funniest, best books—but I feel like they’re geared toward people firmly in their twenties.  It seems like Tom and Ariana are constantly taking pages out of those books.  For example, if you don’t have a lot of money for a home or clothes, buy one really nice thing, not several items of medium quality—ok, so you’re going to buy a motorcycle with a sidecar, but not furniture for your guests?  I just think they should be playing out of a more mature, sophisticated book at this point.  I’m over it.  

Just furnish your damned house like everybody else, not like a special snowflake.  That’s my argument in a nutshell.

If it's a continuity issue, that's not really on these two people who are just doing their jobs (however dubious those jobs may be). And if it's a matter of waiting for certain furniture to be ready, shit happens, no matter how immature one may be at whatever age. Obviously, they don't think it's "cool" to live without furniture (and if they did, who cares?) if they have furniture in the works.

I am surprised it made ANY money, or that she made any money from it as it was REALLY REALLY BAD.  Where are the numbers?  How do we know it did well?

[glowbug]

All of their houses, aside from Kristen’s, cost about the same amount. 

Stassi - 1.7 million 

Jax & Brittany - 1.9 million

Tom & Ariana - 2 million

Tom & Katie - 1.9 million

Stassi’s house is in a much trendier location so I do wonder if there were major repairs needed. Based on esthetic I think Kristen‘s house, which is the smallest and least expensive, is the nicest. Stassi’s house just isn’t my style (strangely I don’t like the Mediterranean style or mid-century modern, which is basically every house in LA, where I grew up) and the outdoor space or lack there of and the fact that it’s hanging off a cliff, which freaks me out, aren’t appealing to me either. I have no problem believing they can all afford their houses so long as they spend responsibly (pretty sure Jax isn’t doing that) and they don’t lose income from the show. I doubt any of them paid all cash so they’ll be paying a hefty mortgage for the next thirty years. Stassi does make additional money but I would bet the majority of her income comes directly from the show. She’s in the best position but there’s always the risk that she will lose listeners/followers once she’s no longer promoting herself on the show. The rest of them will undoubtedly lose the majority of their outside income (appearance fees and the goods they sell) once the show ends or they’re fired.

Well, I mean, not to state the obvious, but I clearly care if I wrote an entire post on it.  Andy must have cared if he asked Ariana about it on international TV, and that tends to indicate that it’s a topic of interest for the audience.  It’s just like whether people care about a 19 year old going to the prom on RHNJ or anything else.  

I watch the show and post about what pings to me.  If it doesn’t ping for someone else, more power to them.  I think not having furniture in a multimillion dollar home is discussion-worthy.  

And I don’t think it’s obvious that they don’t think it’s cool.  Tom wants to be filmed sticking  a toothbrush that was allegedly just used on a public toilet in his mouth.  Ariana talks about coming home from the gym and Sandoval wanting to go down on her before she can shower.  There’s no accounting for taste, and these two are some strange birds.

That was just fucking weird! He's weird anyway, but usually in the quirky sense--like shave your forehead, care way too much about grand entrances into parties with all the same people you see every day, play a trumpet very badly, whatever, fine--but why put ANYTHING in your mouth while scrubbing a public bathroom (even if it's a pretend scrubbing)? I have no doubt it wasn't THE toothbrush, but to then not even say, "Haha, I didn't really"?

Yup.  She’s totally going to stay with him.  She’s already laying the groundwork.  Reminding us how hard she worked to forgive him the last time.  Last time it was because his dad died.  This time will be because he is “handicapped.” Which...don’t get me started on THAT bullshit coming out of his mouth.  
 

Just wait until they spawn.  This isn’t going to stop her from trying.  Nothing stopped her from her dumb wedding, so nothing is going to stop her from her next goal.

Guess who’s going for a quarantine baby?!

1 (maybe 2?) months into the marriage and he says you can track my phone and she is all “you know I will.”  What a nice way to live.  

The sad thing (the extra sad thing?) is that doing that is pointless.  Tracking Jax's phone only proves where the phone is.  He could go to the gym, leave the phone in a locker, and then go wherever with whoever after that - which, honestly, is probably exactly what he did and that's why he told her to go ahead and track his phone. He's a practiced cheater; he knows how to create a cover for himself.

I don’t know that Jax is that smart. I do however think he is quite capable of Fucking someone at the gym.

I know Brittany says she wants babies but I wonder if they’ve put it off because it might jeopardize their role on the show. Ditto for Stassi and Katie despite them professing to want or be trying to have children. Does anyone want to watch these people have babies? The audience is barely tolerating them getting married. Being pregnant and having children will make it harder for them to act like drunken sloppy 20 year olds which is how they’ve maintained their roles on the show thus far despite being in their 30s. It would be a lot less fun/tolerable to watch them behave like they do when there are children involved. I don’t know if I would watch the show if they keep any of them on when they get pregnant and especially once they have actual children.

Stassi has a column in Marie Claire?????????   😂😂😂

Even in the parking lot or out back behind the gym.

My antennae went up when he raved specifically about one female trainer at the gym.  Kinda like the ‘reiki master’ from a couple seasons ago.  They were definitely boning </James Kennedy voice>

Speaking of James, I find him very likable sober and hope he keeps it up.  And I’m liking Raquel more, too.  And, God help me, Charli.  She’s like a really ditzy, thirsty truth-cannon.

Is Katie trying to have a baby??? She’s so low energy, I can’t imagine her handling motherhood well.  Or Schwartz.  Damn none of these people should be spawning, yet there’s gonna be this demented race to be first to the maternity ward.
