Ow - my ears hurt after being subjected to Sandoval's rehearsal; what did we do to deserve that???

You know what’s really pathetic? I recognized his band’s song because they played it last season as well 😝 James cracked me up dissing them like that.

That was weird and dark, watching Sandoval trying to talk Schwartz into basically renting the house from him.  The sad thing is, he might just succeed because Schwartz is completely spineless.  Sandoval is a friend to no one.

Sandoval keeps re-writing history, as does Rachel.  He's such a petulant child, his voice is a constant whine.  He still takes no responsibility for anything. He has absolutely no depth.  He's all style and no substance.  Loved James going after him - kind of a hit and run.  But spot on.

Wait, so when Ariana gets done with figuring out the furniture costs and her lawyers give Sandoval a counter offer, suddenly he’s not that into it? Meaning he realizes he actually CAN’T buy her out? And his solution is to get poor Schwartz to pay $6k a month in rent to be roommates? HAHAHAHAHAHA!! Never would have seen that coming. Dumbass.

At last year's reunion when. Andy asked him if he was in love he could barely choke out an obligatory "yes" so I'm not believing his grand passion this year.  It sounds like he lucked out anyway - Scheana said Raquel didn't stock toilet paper when she lived with her either! 😂. James gave it to him good and was completely right- I wish he hadn't made the crack about the band being a joke because, although true, it gave something petty for Sandy to focus on rather than the truths James was telling.  Although frankly I think Sandy knows it anyway - his "love" is for storyline about the girl who ain't coming back!  I'll be laughing until this show ends picturing him at 70 years old singing karaoke and whipping out his penis flute! 🤣

  • Oh no! Everyone's upset about what Rachel said about Sandoval! 🙄
  • Nice to see Schemer is still trying to milk "Good as Gold" for all its worth. Who the hell was that cover band making the video? At least she wasn't twerking in her bedroom on top of her bed this time! So, she made a new song and for some reason thought it was clever to put a Rachel reference in it?🙄
  • The less said about LaLa's "Jizz party", the better. Even bawdy Lisa Vanderbucks seemed appalled. Why does everyone assume they can hold their parties at her house? It seemed a bit presumptive for LaLa to have already arranged for everything before asking.
  • I think there was more but I cannot be bothered.
  • So Ann was fired? To be honest, their house didn't look much less dirty to me, but I did enjoy all the footage of their habitation looking like a pigsty. Leave it to Sandoval to hire a male assistant who looks like him! 😀
  • Successful businesswoman Lisa Vanderbucks displayed her dominance over the Toms by forcing them to have a "Pump Brunch" at Tom Tom.

Sandoval trying to act all depressed is laughable. No one is buying it. Him trying to get James mad and going and James not giving in or giving a fuck made me laugh. My recording cut out at that point because some sort of glitch and I don’t really care lol. Doubt I missed much after.

Scheana told him she referenced his grand passion in her new song, and he stomped around crying and she DGAF either 😂

Because Lisa wants them to of course!  She's the producer and she loves showing off her house and I don't blame her.  I do blame her for the way they have to beg whilst Lisa pretends to be reluctant 😄

Scheanas  one song, still sounds  horrible. I don't  need to hear the new one.

Tom can't  sing either. Those two should try a duet.

Choose my sperm donor,  alrighty then( weird) I'm happy for Lala if she's happy. She seems like a good mom. I'd love to see her daughter,  she was such a cutie last season.  So is Scheana's  daughter. Poor James, he really  wants a family( he supported  his brothers  and mother  for awhile) I hope things work out with Ally.

Raquel/ Rachel  threw everyone  under the bus by the sounds of it I really don't  care. I love Lisa's  house and never mind seeing it.

I’d be delighted to never hear Sheesh or Sandaoval sing again. Their dancing is cringe too.  
Six K a month to rent with a  friend? Damn! Glad Blondie shut him down.

Sandie needs to quit saying he loved Raquel. If he did, he would have broken up with Ariana and come clean.

Sandoval walking into TomTom wearing the same Liz Claiborne pantsuit I bought for my first corporate job out of college...🤣

I knew he'd lowballed Ariana on the house offer, despite claiming it was top market value. He really thought she'd just pack her stuff and leave him everything. Glad she was smart & patient enough to consult an attorney and protect herself financially.

The fact that I've come to literally adore James still shocks me...but he continues to spit facts. #1 guy by a mile.

That's what was so frustrating in the beginning of the season when people kept telling her to move.  Anyone that's been through a divorce or something similar knows it's not that simple. I'm sure he made her a terrible offer and just expected her to trust him that it was a good offer. I've even read online that he wanted to pay off HIS HELOC loan w/ her HER proceeds of the house.

Oooh, man -- I thought James was being more than generous (and surprisingly mature and even keeled) by talking to Tom a little bit about the Racquel podcast. But of course Tom just couldn't stop at "yeah, it sucked, but thank you for asking/caring."

Sandoval having style is debatable.

I thought I heard Sandoval say he wanted to slow-walk it so he could be with Maya for as long as possible.

He also said some weirdo thing about cutting Mya in half, while he was sitting around with a knife on his leg. Obviously I know it was in jest, but I have a "thing" about even joking like that about animals. I fixate on it and it makes me sad.

Yeah that was bizarre.  Sure I’d joke with my dog that I was so hungry I’d eat one of his leggies, and even he knew I was kidding - he’d look at me like ‘bitch please, you are not funny’.  

By the way, does anyone else think that Mya just DOES NOT like Tom?  Generally dogs try to suck up to the male of the house but she really seems to ignore him for the most part.  She’s mostly by Ariana’s side, seems to enjoy and welcome guests like Scheana and Schwartz (omg she did a full body wag for him in this episode and that was so cute I had to watch it twice).  But Sandoval?  There seems to be no warmth between them.  So I call BS on his claiming to drag out the sale because of wanting more time with her.

There were two options. To rent, or to buy (get a loan/refinance) with him. If he decided to get a loan with Sandoval, he would pay his portion of the mortgage, not rent, and he would be an owner, unlike if he just rented.

At least Schwartz pushed back on the idea. He would be an idiot to move in with Sandoval. 

I loved James going in on Sandoval. "Rewrite history in your own mind!" 😅

The food at TomTom brunch actually looked good. Or maybe I'm just hungry.

During the scene with Lisa at TomTom, looking at her face, it looked like either she had had a mini facelift, was wearing 10 layers of makeup, or they used a customized filter that just blurred out her face and no one else's.   IDK, for some reason, something looked different about her face during that scene. I didn't notice it as much at Lala's party

I need to know why there are so many boxes/shipped items in Sandoval and Ariana’s house. 
 

Amazon/retail therapy? Companies soliciting endorsements? 
 

Their house looked much tidier before Scandoval.

To be fair, the time between the reunion and this whatever from him is like four or five months?

Counterpoint:  Very VERY low bar, and it's not hard to find endless footage of James being a massive asshole.

It fell flat, because he's a fucking gross idiot, but this may have been an attempt to reference the Solomon tale of how to solve the custody debate of a baby.

So are you saying he "fell in love with her" after the reunion?  I agree with James - we all saw him when he was actually in love with Ariana, and none of his interactions with Raquel showed me "love".  They barely showed attraction actually - IMO it was mostly an ego thing with him.  And now he's looking for sympathy and storyline.

It was more a response to the idea that he actually said these things a year apart from the reunion.  

I think that it's difficult to get into the brain of a weirdo liar scumbag, but I'm sure he thought he was in love with R. at some point.  I think him being such a clueless hypocritical selfish drama queen is pretty hilarious; but him being legitimately sad about it - of course, for the most self-centered reasons - I find no massive reason to doubt it.

I didn't mean for my response to be a YOU'RE WRONG, just an alternate opinion with some timeline confirmation.

I think at the time she was living in an apartment, so not a lot of room. The nice house was owned by Randall, who kicked her out.

I thought so too at first but doubt Sandy would have known about that story.

Anyone else think LaLa timed her insemination so that her pregnancy could be her storyline for next season?

Thank you!  James may be good with a turn of phrase but we have seen him do some truly toxic shit.

I am confused. Why are they making a Good as Gold music video ten years after Scheana first recorded/released the “song”?
 

Can Lala actually play the drums?

Okay. Rewatching. Lala can not actually play the drums.

So Ariana is justifiably boasting/gloating that Tom should have agreed to sell the house back in March 2023. Ariana would have been out of the house a long time ago.

But it does seem that she and her lawyer took their sweet time sending a counteroffer, no? I can understand due diligence requiring one or two weeks, but not two-plus months. 

I have no idea what interest rates were back in March, compared to August.

Last season, did Rachel tell them in the car that James raged during the holidays and body-shamed her mother? 
 

I suppose he’s thinking he dodged yet another bullet, since Ally Bally’s mother is slim. 

James’s rapping skillz strike again: he called their cat Mr. Bister, I believe.

Kristen looks really pretty in the After Show.

 

Rachel couldn’t persuade many individuals to attend her

Puppy Shower.
 

But Lala throws a

SPERM DONOR PARTY,

 

and guests enthusiastically show up and seem genuinely excited for her when she announces her choice.

In the Chili’s advertisement/commercial, at the end, Scheana says “expresso,” instead of “espresso.”

(At first, I thought the not-famous guy, who just likes Chili’s, was the California Cryobank guy.)
