So what do you guys predict? I myself still feel compassion for Ariana. But I see here and on Facebook, reddit, etc., that viewers have been souring on her.

Are they still running her commercials? I saw the Uber One commercial many times, immediately after Scandoval broke. I saw her Bic commercial twice. I haven’t seen anything lately. 

Yeah, I'm souring on Arianna. I don't think I've seen her in commercials for a while now, but there is a makeup (I think) commercial with Eliza Banks who I keep mistaking for her. Her calling Sandoval a "dog murderer" and telling everyone he wears dirty underwear may have been the tipping point for me because at this point she's just making shit up, if not blaming him for everything bad in her life.

Omg her weird brother in that article:

 

“Ariana is a sweet, kind girl. I love her so much. So it's not always in your face all the time. It's just little slight things that maybe not everyone would notice."

 

Apparently Ariana thinks she’s better than his fiancé and has made several “microaggressions” against her.  

What???? Ariana was an asshole and thinks she’s better than someone???  Nooooo!!!! /s

So yeah Jeremy she’s not a sweet girl nor a kind girl.  And the “slight things” she does.. we all notice.  She’s annoying and jerky!

Uh... just a wild guess here, but does Scheana think she's a STAR????

Once people get to be on tv they seem to all think that!  I'll never forget watching a "Flavor of Love Where Are They Now" show where one of the gals (NOT New York!) was saying, "Now that I'm a celebrity . . . " - cracked me up! 😂

Bravolebrities seem to think they're famous-famous, but most of them don't have serious celebrity outside of Bravo.

What surprised me was learning, by watching WWHL, how many legitimate, respected, talented individuals watch Bravo. Jon Hamm. Meryl Streep. Stephen Colbert. Jennifer Lawrence. Perhaps Martin Scorsese. 

I think when enough of them mention that they watch, people such as Scheana believe they are stars.

I will say that Meryl Streep, and Martin Scorsese watch the HWs too next time my husband exposes me to friends about watching the HWs although he has direct orders not to do it.

Oh I know there are a ton of huge stars who love Housewives! It makes me feel better about my Bravo addiction. But the average person who doesn't watch Bravo probably wouldn't know most of the people on the network. NonBravo watchers usually only know people like Denise Richards.

I'm happy for her, but MAN, I think the cast is going to turn doubly hard on her next season because her success is costing them money now since they won't be on the same filming schedule due to her other obligations.  I love it for the Toms, but I can understand why the other will be frustrated.  (Not that I think she shouldn't take these other jobs, but I think even I would grow resentful if my work schedule revolved around one of my friends.)

But we didn't. Proof there might really be a god. And Ariana can go away forever. If that happens, then there is a God.

I'm not condoning cheating on your S/O but this has just been taken too far. This shit show has "jumped the shark."

“Throughout the affair, he did a lot of sh*t to me that was dirty as hell, but some things really felt like new lows. He had told me, time and time again, that he wasn’t trying to hide anything from me, whenever I would ask about little things here and there. But it turns out, he was taking many steps to cover the whole thing up,” she shared. “He was so committed to this double life that he used ‘Jamie’ as a code name for her in his phone.”

“The worst part is that my dad’s name was James, may he rest in peace,” she continued. “Imagine seeing a screenshot of a text in which he tells a friend how he ‘took Jamie to the mile high club.’ For him to use my dad’s name for her was a level of disrespect I didn’t realize was possible.”

I watched some of “Love Island,” a previous season. It’s difficult for me, a reality TV show junkie, to get through. It’s slow. The women are hyper giddy. The camera people and the women looooove thongs. The women love jiggling their buttocks over and over again.

I watched some of the new season. Ariana did a good job. But again, I am wondering why she loves this show so much. They really needlessly draw out every moment. And it’s great that they booked her and are paying her to host. But is hosting “Love Island” a get? She seems to be following their script. With suggested inflections. Not much improvising, if any at all. They could replace the host with AI, and no one would notice.

Look at it this way:

What do the other chuckleheads have going for them?  Other than podcasts and Sandoval’s stupid band, this puts Ariana far and away higher on the totem pole than the rest of them, in addition to her Broadway role.

Interesting note, Ariana actually loves the UK version of the show, which is amazing. The comment she made about watching was in reference to that version. It streams on Hulu on a 1-2 week delay but diehards typically watch in real time via VPN.

The US version is trash. Not because the format is much different, more because the contestants are exactly as you've described.

No.  And I’ve tried to watch too, last season and the show is not good.  I’m not a fan of Ariana so I won’t be watching.  I just want it off my bravo, er Peacock Home Screen.

I’m very proud of Ariana’s success. Being on Broadway in particular is phenomenal! But it’s true these highly-paid coveted jobs won’t last forever. Got to take advantage of all the opportunities as they come, especially if she wants to get away from working with Sandoval. It’s one reason I get her not moving out and paying that Los Angeles rent for a nice place. It’s not like the big bucks will come easily to her forever.

What?! James and Jamie aren’t the same name. She would have been better off saying my dad’s name is Richard. How dare he put his dick in her!

As usual Ariana has to make up fake drama and I have to call her out on her BS.  Not only are James and Jamie not the same name, but if you saw a text referencing the "mile high club" why would you think of your dad?  And if it was a code name and you saw that text, wouldn't you know your boyfriend was having an affair?  And if he explained the text away by saying, "I was reminiscing about something I did with your dead dad, and that was my special nickname for him" and you bought that then you're just too stupid for words.

I am bemused at why Ariana is hosting a show about finding one's "true love".

Right?

Well, so far she seems to like Dan a lot.

Maybe I am envious, resentful and biased, because I am a failed actor. But Ariana does not impress me with her screen presence. On Love Island, as I posted, she seems stiff, as she delivers her very scripted lines. She looks happy, but she could have had so much more fun with this role of host. Her Bic commercial left me feeling the same way. I think technically she is pretty good. But she doesn’t make me think that the words or emotions are hers. I actually think her best work is on Vanderpump Rules.

I love the show strictly as brain candy. It's always been campy and over the top, and then I'll start snarking on the "players" (male and female) by episode 4. I then chat with my niece back East and compare notes.

I guess I love the community more than the actual show. The acting is exaggerated and fun to mock. Yep, love this show. Ariana was perfect with her "reactions".

Awww, I usually love and agree with the majority of your snark, HooDoo but I guess we differ on this show. It's such an inane little treat and doesn't require any thinking, so how could I refuse.

Your name always reminds me of a band I loved waaay back in the day... HooDoo Gurus

You've created a new snark for me ... because I'm humming the chorus "she gets down on her knees and hugs me - she loves me like a rock, oh baby" etc over and over because I only know those words. But I love Paul Simon

Three suicides on the original (British) Love Island....Two contestants, one host. From 2015 to 2020.

The humiliation of being cheated on was worse for Ariana because it was so public.

This is my first season watching so I have nothing compare it to but I'm enjoying it as mindless television that so far has made me laugh.  I did see a lot of fans are trashing the UK version of the show this season and are liking the US version more. I told my husband Ariana has my dream job hosting this show.  Get paid to look hot, barely have to do much work AND get to live in Fiji for a couple months? Sign me up.

Love Island is the fluffiest show I have ever watched. And I am watching MILF Manor.

The women plastering on makeup twice a day is fascinating to me. 

I still don't quite understand Love Island, its purpose, the rules, how it goes - why it exists? - but I can't look away. I haven't felt this way about a tv show since Rock of Love, so this might be my new favorite thing. 😅 These women slathering on the makeup together is fascinating. The sleeping arrangements are fascinating. The fashion choices are fascinating. I'm in. 🤣

That said, Ariana is really, really good at this. This show might be weirdo fluff, but wow she's great as a host. And I know she's had some great things happening lately (IT'S ALL HAPPENING, SCHEANA!) and that a year away from the worm with a mustache can't be anything but good, but I feel like EVERY pic I see of Ariana lately she just looks so damn happy. In lots of the SAH pix she's just smiling ear-to-ear. Nothing looks as beautiful as happy. 😍

Hahaha!!

Why Love Island exists. Excellent question. The women are all so young. But both the men and women claim that they are desperate to find a spouse NOW. If anything, now is exactly the best time to meet someone organically, before they all marry someone else. 

The clothing is wild. I don’t think a single one of my friends wears a thong. Twenty-five years ago, Victoria’s Secret was running a sale, so I purchased about five pairs, and tried to wear them. Some women would tell me, “I wear them, because they are so comfortable!”
 

They are not.

Somehow the producers found dozens of women who only wear thongs and thong swimsuits. 
 

Did you see Liv’s black band top? At least her chest is smaller than Hannah’s.

Then the guy with the overalls. A green contrast zipper at the top of the bib. He didn’t seem to be wearing them in an ironic way, either.

Ariana looks radiant, confident and happy. She started out in the earlier seasons of VPR looking dour and smug.

I'll wear thong underwear to avoid panty lines, but absolutely not to a thong swimsuit. I would feel half-naked. I suppose you are!

The fashion and makeup choices are ... choices. I thought they were all at least 40 but then no, they're barely legal. 🤣 Can't stop watching. The Snookie-looking one might be my favorite. :)

I think when Ariana came on VPR she was smug - but I never saw her as dour. She was brought on the show to be Scheana's friend - I wonder if Scheana is trying to build a time machine to make some different decisions? 😅

I've always been an Ariana fan so I've been tuning into LI to make my small contribution to her ratings. Not gonna lie: I'm really loving it! I've been reading on the LI reddit sub that they made many improvements this year and that Ariana is a much better host than the last one, in part because she is such a fan. Her reactions when the last two bombshells made their appearance were so much fun to watch. They've also said the contestants are better.

The girls do major makeup. It's bizarre to me because I'm a major skincare girl. Can't imagine wearing all of that in the heat, but they are piling it on like it's their job. One girl, Hannah, has apparently never heard of setting spray (I hadn't either), so her makeup is always rubbing off onto people's clothing and faces.

Hannah put mascara on, preparing for bed!

Nicole is sooooo gorgeous. 
 

I am happy that Nicole helped Kordell get his groove back.

I am actually glad that Rob offered himself to Andrea at the fire pit proceeding. Leah was getting on my nerves. He was right; she was being very self-absorbed. If she sometimes doesn’t listen and cuts him off — when he is a man of few words — that’s just wrong. Confirmed when she mouthed F you to him. 
 

Liv must be a pill, for so many guys to jump ship.

They used texts instead of Ariana this time. I wonder why. Her lingerie look was kind of weird. Sexy, but weird. 

Iain’s commentary was better in this episode. I liked the, “They got dolled up to spend the afternoon in the garden. Now they’re going upstairs to get dolled up to spend the evening in the garden.”

I like that they don’t get intoxicated. 
 

I was impressed that Rob knew that Andrea’s dress was crochet. 
 

I think they should spin off
