All that's missing is the part where she asks that the public respect their privacy during this difficult time.

The couple left that out because Scheana was afraid the public and press would actually listen and there's no way she's not milking an opportunity for attention.

I know there is a horrible drought in California. Maybe that explains why Lala is so thirsty.

A sheer dress over a thong bodysuit?!? Girl, just show up in lingerie and knee pads. Lala is an attractive woman, but she can demonstrate that without flashing all of her goods. Everyone else managed to dress sexy without flashing everyone. So desperate. She is actually too trashy for this horde of drunken morons. If she were still with her football player ex, I would recommend that she move over to WAGS so she can show up naked at their parties and pull knives on those women.

No one will ever top that line.

I just saw Ariana on an episode of Adam Ruins Everything. It was about some of the behind the scenes fakery of tv and movies.

I love Kristen--she's probably my favorite cast member aside from Scheana--but beautiful she is not. Am I alone in this? I think she's terribly plain and her hair is so stringy and sad. Sorry Kristen! Call me!

I think Kristen is plain too, which is why Kristen proclaiming that "She's 5'9" and fucking gorgeous" never ceases to tickle my funny bone.

Kristen is my favorite cast member. It's clear that therapy has helped her a lot, but she still has no self-awareness. A year ago, she would have been incapable of having that discussion with Ariana about James being terrible. Therapy has helped her a lot. She's not a sane or good person, but she's not nearly as self destructive as she used to be.

I love Kristen too (psycho one). But beautiful she is not (thought description as such in NY Mag was strange). She's a good fixer-upper though (as am I - so can't throw stones).

I...TWO publicists? Whatever the fuck for? She's horrible - which apparently is a big selling point with a reality show cast member, except she does NOTHING interesting. Her "friendships" are for the show, her t-shirt line and ridic forearm tattoos aren't bringing in money, the "stalking cheaters" thing was something Stassi had to assist with, and she slept with Jax. Twice. 

Also - I don't care how vegetarian you are, if your diet is 85% booze, cigarettes and Adderall it will never be healthy.

Kristen has been and remains my favorite among the girls.  I am glad she's evolving - even if it's slowly.   I give her that more than the other girls for sure.

My wish for Kristen is that she improves her language skills.  She has a gutter mouth and it does her no favors.

I think Kristen is pretty in a rough sort of way - on the show and in interviews.  I kind of like that.   But I think she looks better in stills for some reason.

[HunterHunted]

I mention this podcast episode enough that it occurred to me that I should post it here.

[chick binewski]

The preview for the remainder of the season is bananas.

Tom Sandoval is delivering Gena Rowlands-style, Jax gets roasted, Ma Brandi shows up and Ariana actually says stuff that makes sense. It's enough to make me almost forgive Bravo for Summer House.

Gawd! Is that Brittany's mother? Yeesh. Jax needs to watch out because his future thirst-in-law is coming for him. The woman has watched the show from the beginning. There have always been questions about Jax and dudes (pictures of Jax listed as Vincent de Paul's boyfriend). Brittany's mom bringing it up now is storyline nonsense.

Sandoval is killing it this season.

It sounds like they are going to have a Katie intervention. She needs it. She's an asshole. I was re-watching the behind the scenes for season 1 of RHoBH. They get to the package about Maloof and Paul bickering and none of their bickering sounded nearly as nasty as Katie is with Schwartz. She's fucking awful with no awareness of how terribly she comes off. At this point, I half believe that she's a host from Westworld because how has she watched 4 seasons of her being an unhinged drunk and not tried to change.

Ariana often makes sense. It's her snotty attitude and smug superiority that turns people off.

[Sun-Bun]

Seriously, Katie fights really dirty. Like Kelly Dobbs from RHofOC dirty. I had no idea what a massive bitch she truly is until this season, and using the old "bridezilla" excuse isn't working for me.

She really should've gone with Kristen to a few of those necessary therapist visits; at least Kristen realized how unhinged she was coming off as onscreen and decided to do something about it. If Katie got some anger management therapy it would work wonders for her and her marriage with Schwartz. Cruelly putting down her fiancé's penis on national television is unforgivable in my book. Heaven help him if he'd shouted out a reply about the state of her vagina, but he seems like too decent of a dude to dare throw back what she tosses at him.

Kristen is so desperate she has to steal Vicki's material. Also, "Kent was engaged in a late-night business dinner". Um, ok.

[ivygirl]

Seriously are there NO other restaurants in LA? Lala HAD to know that some drama (and tabloid discussion) would come about as a result of a visit to SUR. 

Also, so happy to see that Kristen has turned over a new leaf so much that the leaf turned right back over again...

Unlike Stassi, Kristen doesn't pretend to hang out at SUR during filming.  So Kristen randomly is there when Lala shows up at SUR.  Not buying it.

Both Peter and Kristen say the story is false.

Quote

Kristen accused Lala of being the one to give the media the false story, all just to promote her own singing career.

On Wednesday evening, Peter tweeted that the story, as reported by Page Six and repeated by Mail Online, is false. Peter unequivocally stated that what was claimed to have happened at SUR didn’t happen at all.

[The Mighty Peanut]

Pumped Podcast is no more. Long story short: they had a weird, very meta fight on air (available in episode 8) because some of the pod casters became friends with Ariana, Tom, and Katie, and one host (Lara, if you're familiar with the show) claimed that since those friendships begun, the tone of the show changed because they all refused to say anything bad about the people they knew--but would go in hard on Lala. Then the two other main hosts (Craig and Blythe) really got into it with her, albeit calmly, and basically rebutted that Lara liked to pretend she was above it all and overly invested in *defending* Lala. 

Now the originator of pumped podcast has started SUP (sexy unique podcast) without the other two. Good grief.

Edited January 26, 2017 by The Mighty Peanut

[Princess Sparkle]

The other two, Craig and Blythe, also started a new podcast, one they're calling Pump Rules podcast, and they already put out their first epsiode with Kristen as the guest. They were also in the background of Jax's roast, and got Jax and Brittney into their apartment complex (like they did for Katie and Schwartz).  I'm team "no one" in this situation, but Craig came off like a dick in their final episode. The tone of the podcast did change once Craig and Blythe became friends with Schwartz and Katie - I thought Lara was pretty upfront that she's been friends with ariana the whole time - but good riddance for the podcast being over, because it was awful to listen to towards the end. The episode where they brought Kristen, Katie, and Stassi on to ambush Lara and force her to apologize to those 3 was the beginning of the end. I won't be listening to either of the new podcasts, and quite honestly, I can't believe I live in a world where there are dueling VPR podcasts.

Not only dueling podcasts, but podcasts whose hosts echoed the sides that play out on TV. Craig and Blythe side with the coven and their boyfriends; they hate Lala and James, are fond of Jax and Britney, and are uneasy with Tom and Ariana but it's not a full out war. The show did absolutely change after they started having the cast on. IMO Lara was right and Craig *was* super defensive about it (and then became defensive about being called defensive). 

Lara likes Ariana and Sandoval, and is easier on Lala because they are easier on Lala.

Scheana is in no man's land. That they all seem to agree on.

it sounds like the podcast version has just as much drama as the show itself. They're having the exact same fights even--we told you not to be friends with them! I wonder if there's a back alley to where they record to go fight in just like at SUR.

I'd never listened to that Podcast before...I listened to #8 on Friday (where they kind of imploded...)  I went to download #5 but now it won't even let me stream it;  I think they took it down!  Damn, talk about being late to the party...

This sounds like a completely healthy relationship!

Quote

Katie responded, “According to him, there was a time when I was with him and some of his friends and we were out at this club. I don’t even remember. It was a total blackout night. I think I was frustrated or annoyed. He said there was this guy that looked like Vanilla Ice. In front of him, I made out with him – probably just to piss him off in the moment.”

[zoeysmom]

Maybe it is me, but does the blonde look anything like Stassi: 

Can't imagine they are making a whole lotta money for this.

[Rebecca]

The newest episode of Pumped Podcast (which is awful because they are completely up the cast's asses..Sexy Unique Podcast is way better, imo) with Katie is horrible. She went on about "her truth" and all the same bullshit. She said the biggest problem is she knows Schwartz sooo well and why he does and thinks what he does but he in turn doesn't know her like that and why she does things. She really thinks she's something she's not. Delusional.

Also, I'm done with the Pump Rules podcast. All they did was agree with everything she said and kiss her ass. They even slammed all the "mean online trolls" for trashing Katie...hi, you used to have a podcast for THAT purpose, which was entertaining. It's not entertaining to listen to people going "yeah" and justifying the guest's shitty actions. Craig is annoying and I used to want Blythe to speak more but she adds nothing so, bye Felicias.

How do these things work?  Do you have to pay a cover to get in or do you put a chunk of change in each of their bowls that sit a table??? 

I read an interview with Jax and he talked about these kinds of things.  He said he doesn't do them as much now as he did early on but that other castmates were pretty active.  They can make a decent amount of money.   I guess bars will pay stars (reality and otherwise) to come to their joints too.  Good advertising for them.

My guess is they sell their autographs and the mall picks up travel expenses and pays a small fee.

They filmed the Reunion yesterday:  https://twitter.com/LoveAndyC  There are pictures on this link.  Looks like everyone was there including Shay and Lala and even Stassi little brother.  (That is totally unnecessary.)

This article is a couple of years old, but I can believe that Jax and the Toms probably get paid between $5,000 and $10,000 for appearances.

I love that Kristen referred to herself, Stassi, and Katie as the Witches of WeHo too.

I can see that for bar/club appearances because crowds will guarantee alcohol sales but would it work the same in a mall? Would a mall really shell out even $15,000 for the three of them? All for the hope people would spend way more than that in the stores? It doesn't really make sense to me. And going to a Canadian mall autograph signing for "only" $5,000 seems like something Stassi, especially, would think she was above, IMO. She definitely doesn't seem broke at all. I would think they could get more going to clubs and drinking is their "thing" so the mall aspect puzzles me on many levels.

On Stassi's podcast Rachael and Stassi were talking about Stassi's SHOE ROOM in her apartment and Rachael asked her if she had spent a house worth of money on her shoe collection. Stassi spoke of this one particular "murder" house that was $2.3M approx. Rachael asked if she could afford the 10% down payment and stassi said she didn't have $200,000 in her bank account and couldn't buy it. She also said she's not one to save though, and prefers to spend a lot of the money she makes, lest she die and not get to spend it. 

There is so much conflicting information about how much money they have and make...this information doesn't really help but there you go, since we all wonder.

"I'm trying to convince her, so I hope so," she says. "She's been volunteering at Vanderpump Pets and she is back on the SUR schedule this month, so I hope so."

I hate-follow Stassi on Snapchat and she and the rest of the coven are currently traveling around Europe. I'm in shock over how much Botox and lip-injections she's obviously done recently---her huge ape anus lips look almost as ridiculous as Kim Zolziak's. It especially pains me to see young women like her in their 20's already messing with their faces to the point of looking like some of the 40-something's on the RealHousewives franchises.
