S04.E01: Playtime's Over

[OnceSane]

Scheana throws a costume party for her birthday, but drama ensues when Kristen arrives, in the Season 4 premiere. Also: Lisa vows to take the restaurant to new heights; James' behavior jeopardizes his DJ career; and Schwartz realizes he's ready to commit to Katie.

[BogoGog24]

November 2nd can't come fast enough!

[goofygirl]

And according to some reports, that butthead  stASSi is coming back.  Please say it ain't so!

[Duke2801]

Woo hooo I've got my gold lame booty shorts, and my drink to throw in anybody's face who DARES ruin Schaenna's birthday. Bring it on!

[psychoticstate]

Scheana throws a costume party for her birthday, but drama ensues

 

 

I'm guessing drama ensues because no one but StASSi is allowed to have birthday festivities on this show.

 

I seriously cannot wait for this. I have my Chunky Sweater and Flat Iron ready for the fun.  I love this show more than my luggage.

I wonder if there will be an "instafight" at this birthday party. Oh I am excited. I don't have much reality trash lately on my tv. I watch all those teen mom shows but then I find myself worrying too much but with this, is is mindless fun and that is what i want from my reality tv.

Does this mean uber-businesswoman Lisa Vanderbucks is firing everyone and hiring competent staff?

[fliptopbox]

Seems as though Scheana's birthday party has risen in importance and taken the place of Stassi's.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Am I the only one, that loves the show's intro?

Welcome back show.

[mjstrick]

I'm thinking that ear skin/cartilage is plugging up coke holes.

I bought the song lol. I love it.

I'm so over Ariana and her smugness. I want her and FI Tom to break up so we can see that fallout.

Also I can't help it, I like Peter.

[ivygirl]

Moar Fireball!!!!11!1!1!1!!! PS Peter no self-respecting rocker dude would roll his eyes at that display. I might. Ariana certainly would. But a rocker dude?

Oh, show. Welcome back. From Kristen's tshirts to James' burgeoning DJ career to Scheana's vocal fry to eye vacations... I didn't realize how much I missed you.

Best of all... No cancer storyline!

Ariana needs to ask her BF, why he's more into Schwartz than her?

[JenE4]

Vanderpump Rules is back, baby!! The moments that made me LOL:

Kristin scurrying out from behind the dumpsters like a rat in the alley with Jax heavily sighing and rolling his eyes, "What are you doing here, Kristin?" Got even better when James came out and started yelling and swearing at Kristin for ruining his big DJing career at SUR.

Schwartz getting a perm. Then the look on Sandoval's face when Schwartz, with curlers in hair, says he's ready to get engaged.

The story of 12 yo Jason dipping the bus driver and kissing her. Not to mention Jax's Frankenstein scar--did the plastic surgeon need to cut out a section of his forehead, too?!

The Toms' 70s outfits. Sandoval's roller disco routine. Sandoval later skating into the pool in his tighty whities and leather jacket.

The look on Ariana's face after Kristin kissed Lisa on the cheek.

[Ubiquitous]

Glad to see Cigarette Sally isn't AS CRAZY as she used to be, I guess. Why is she hanging with these losers? For that matter, is she still dating DJ Muppet Baby?

Smooth move, Sherlock Laxative. Lisa Vanderbucks will NEVER find out about that shit you stole!

[ivygirl]

Smooth move, Sherlock Laxative. Lisa Vanderbucks will NEVER find out about that shit you stole!

Hahaha! Ex-Jax!

[Shelby]

Jax must have a mental illness, getting 3 nose jobs and blowing himself up on steroids. Too bad, he looked okay the first season. He gives off a serious gay vibe now. His speech pattern mimics that of the late, great Kevyn Aucoin.

Actually, all the guys seem gay to me. But I'm from the Midwest and middle-aged, so what do I know.

Scheana did a fantastic job getting hair hair to have the fried 80s look. Did she know she was at a 70s party? Did Jax? Did his Mom? Did the girl Jax brought?

Glad to see Kristen is still in the opening credits.

My husband and I couldn't stop screaming at the TV when James was being suicidal with the liquor and everyone was telling him to stop drinking but nobody took the bottle from him. That pipsqueak is lucky he didn't end up in the hospital.

[jojomano]

Does anyone else think Sheana looks wierd? I can't put my finger on it...maybe her face is too thin?

Still love James for some reason. I think he's a good looking young man. Looks like he's gonna get into some trouble this year.

Glad you're back VPR!

And Fireball AGAIN!

[HunterHunted]

I'm so over Ariana and her smugness. I want her and FI Tom to break up so we can see that fallout.

The eye rolls. The faces. You could see them across party. Not cute. Also Kristen has no issue with Ariana other than she's fucking Tom. Tom could be fucking Jax, whom she also fucked, and she'd still be pissed by the betrayal. He could be with Queen Elizabeth I, the alleged virgin queen, and Kristen would still have an issue.

Kristen actually seems like she's worked on herself. She's still a mess, but she seems more self aware and less easy to anger. DJ Muppet baby is a disaster. Who would have guessed that the love between a 32 year old industrial chimney and a 23 year old Muppet baby wouldn't last?

I was amazed at how normal Jax/Jason's mother seemed. I thought it was nice to make sure she had a cake at the party.

[Maharincess]

Katie, honey, getting a ring because of an ultimatum may make you engaged but it also makes you pathetic as hell. I'm surprised she hasn't had an "accidental" pregnancy to try to get that ring.

Does she seriously think that threatening somebody into proposing is a good way to start a life together? Is she really that stupid?

[ScoobieDoobs]

OK, I'm puzzled & baffled how they're gonna keep Cigarette Sally (Kristen) & Stassi involved with this show, when they don't work for Lisa anymore & she can't stand either of them.  Guess we'll see, eh?  Sounds like it's gonna be a stretch.

 

Schwarztie in the curlers?  Yikers, this is what you wanna be engaged to so badly, Katie?

 

James looked about 1 drink away from starting to go after the guys.  Would he even need a drink to do that?

 

Saw Jason/Jax on WWHL & his new nose.  He got kind of a needle-nose.  Er, huh?  Idk, maybe all the roids he's chowing down bloats out his face & makes his nose look swollen.  So the more roids he keeps taking, the needle-nose will bloat out again.  Sounds like a vicious cycle, where he'll keep getting it done.  What a freakin' moron.

 

WTF with Scheana's look?  Why would she fry her hair, when she coulda just worn a wig that would have looked closer to the way Madonna did back then?  I still like her, but the gal is not the brightest light, eh?

[WhosThatGirl]

I have missed this show. And Kristen, never change. Is i just me or did anyone else think she just stands around the Sur parking lot day in and day out? Her hair looked really, really bad also. I love that James was all, "DJing is my dream!!" can that be his forum title please? 

 

And Scheana wins for saying, "I wish Kristen did something to me directly so that the producers could make sure I could not invite her to things" that's what it is really all about Araina and Tom. There's no real reason she is showing up to these parties besides the cameras. If these people thought Kristen would be off the show, they really are dumber than I thought. Kristen makes  a good chunk of this show. If she wasn't around with the off choice of her screaming at somebody, they would lose a viewer in me. 

[yourmomiseasy]

I'm way too excited for this show's return.  

 

Everyone's faces look weird, except maybe Katie.  Katie's dress looks like shit in her talking heads (but not as ridiculous at Sandoval's jacket!).  

 

Did Jax run into another window and cut his forehead again?  He's got the mental capacity of a parakeet, so it is probable.

 

Kristin looks happier.  Her new apartment seems less depressing too.  She's still crazy, but in new ways.

 

WHY? WHY? WHY? With the naked Jax?  AGAIN?  Why does god hate me?  I don't need to see so much of Jax that they have to blur.

 

How did that lady end up raising Jax?  She doesn't seem like a wolf or a crack whore.  She actually seemed really nice and normal.

 

Jax is such a klepto.  And that's like the least of his problems.

 

Not loving the sideburns on Schwartz.  I hope they were just for the party.  

 

A decades party is kind of a fun idea.  Everyone gets to pick what they'll have the most fun with.  There were a lot of really good costumes.  The Toms looked great and so did Peter.

 

I was like "Lisa just looks the same." when she walked into the party and then she explained she just went as herself.  

 

Who made day-drinking Kristen the sober police?  I mean she's right that DJ Baby Muppet shouldn't be getting shitfaced while DJing, but maybe she's not the best person to deliver the message given her BAC is probably permanently in the illegal range.

 

All those fools swigging on handles of fireball is such a bad idea.  Shay was double fisting and DJ Baby Muppet is messy.

 

What?  There's a Vanderpump's Rules After Show with the girls from the People's Couch?  OMG!

 

WTF with Scheana's look?  Why would she fry her hair, when she coulda just worn a wig that would have looked closer to the way Madonna did back then?  I still like her, but the gal is not the brightest light, eh?

 

She didn't fry her hair, she just used a crimping iron which is no worse for it than a straightening iron and totally decade appropriate.  My conair crimping iron was totally fancy and had interchangeable plates for different looks.

Why does Lisa always have to be such a fuddy-duddy?  Why not dress up and have some fun, even if it's only a 50's hairstyle or 70's jeans?  Every time her staff throws a party somewhere, whenever she walks in with Ken, I can almost here the 'womp womp womp' jingle. Plus, she always has some kind of quiet beef or confrontation (scripted, of course) with one the cast members.

 

Having said all that, the whole show last night seemed 100% scripted.  I felt like I was watching a nighttime soap, not a reality show.

Middle of the night and cant sleep 

So turned TV on to Bravo with no sound and lights off.

Better that way.

 

Shit -this show is back on for another season ?

This stupid show is really that popular? Jayzuz.

WTF with this birthday party for Sheema, Skeevie, Schmegma, Sheboygan.

Its all about her again?

She is one career move away from doing a camera ready totally nude gynecological spread somewhere.

And calling it art.

Where's that dumbo chubby guy with zero personality that she married last season so she had a story line.

She probably made him wait outside in the car til filming is over.

Maybe he is parking cars for tips.

Did they have any food at that party to diffuse some of the booze.

Do they get driven home.

Did that Tom guy have shrinkage when he went into the pool?

Was he going for 70's porn star with his get up?

That was a baaaad look for the his blonde bartender girlfriend in her Moe wig. Or were they going for Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction? Not.

Of course production whipped up all their outfits. This crew wouldn't have a clue how to create on their own.

Did that kid really drink all that whiskey or was that ice tea in a whiskey bottle.

What do these kids get paid for being on this show.

That Katie girl gained some weight and chubbed out.

Doesn't Lisa V have any shame with being top bill on this post tween confused adolescent angsty vapid Wonder Bread soap opera ? 

There's her son - maybe she and Ken see this as a $$ for career lost, confused, unskilled, and very untalented son.

Where is Skuzzi Stacey Its ALWAYS MY birthday ! ?

Selling Maude jewelry and moo moos on HSN?

I think Jax's real name is an uncool Jeffrey.

 

Bravo moving into young demographic season with VR, Apres Ski, 

I see a commercial for a Friday nite VR Aftershow? WTF? Like Road Rules/Real World?

I miss Real Housewives of New York. 

Sonja and Ramona seem pretty sophisticated right about now. 

I'm out.

Well, it reminded me how my sis broke off clumps of her hair at 13 cuz she used a crimper all wrong & left it way too long on her hair & oh yeah, it was fried, fried, fried.  But that wouldn't be Scheana.  I'm impressed with how great Scheana always does her hair.  Not a fan of how her hair looked crimped, but in her TH her hair looked really good.

 

OK, so if Kristen breaks up with James, then what connection does she have to the show?  And without Kristen, there's nobody they can whine & cry about they hate.  I'm not sure if this show is losing steam.  Naked Jax?  No, Satan Andy.  Ew.  Really hating Ariana.  She's whining, annoying & dull as fuck.  I'll give the show a shot, but right now there's nobody I care anything about.  Peter with Ray Romano voice?  Meh.

 

Wow, Ken looked real tough with Sandoval.  Is he really only in his 60's?  Cuz he looks & acts 90-something to me.

[Bossa Nova]

Middle of the night insomnia again Scoobs?

Or do you get up early to work out and get ready for work and shame the rest of us?

;)

[ghoulina]

You guys, it's back!!!! I can't tell you have excited I am for my favorite guilty pleasure, and knowing this board will be full of the best snark ever. Yay! 

 

First, Jax has now become Michael Jaxon, the man of a thousand noses. Okay, it's only three. So far. But damn, he just gets worse and worse. On WWHL voters chose his original nose and I have to agree. I've never found Jax attractive, but his first nose was definitely preferable. After all these surgeries it almost looks, to me, like the left side is collapsing a bit. 

 

Also, is his apartment entirely furnished with stolen items? Damn. This dude has problems. It was interesting meeting his mom, because she seemed really sweet and normal. She didn't make any excuses for Jax's behavior, but I also didn't like the way she and Lisa and Scheana sat around laughing about his exploits, like it's just so funny and adorable. No. This kid was a thief and a sexual harasser from the start - why was nothing done about it??? Why does everyone laugh him off, like - "Oh it's just Jax". He is NOT funny!

 

Scheana just loves that Stassi is not really on the show anymore. She thinks she's the star - complete with taking over the whole "birthday" thing. At least we only had to suffer through one party, and not an entire week in a foreign country to celebrate the occasion. I will admit, I thought the theme was really fun and I vote Peter for best costume. He really committed and the whole hair metal band thing just fit him perfectly. 

 

Honestly, I'm not a big Arianna fan, but I do not blame her for getting annoyed with Scheana. I've always been really irritated by people who are like, "Well, they've never done anything to ME". How self involved. So if a serial killer never killed me, I should just be cool with them? If an evil dictator didn't invade MY country, I should be fine having tea with him? Okay, I know Kristen isn't quite a serial killer (yet) or evil dictator (not smart enough), but the point still stands. If Arianna is your BFF, you should not want to hang out with the chick who has been harassing her and making her life hell. Scheana needs to grow a pair. 

 

Speaking of Kristen, she and James just seem oh so happy, don't they? Wow. I think this pairing is even more dysfunctional than Kristen and Tom. James looks like he has a bit of a drinking problem. 

 

Also, Kristen is working on her t-shirt line? What's her gimmick? Shirts smell like cigarettes? Jax has used them to wipe up after? What?

[ghoulina]

The look on Ariana's face after Kristin kissed Lisa on the cheek.

 

How about the look on Lisa's face??? She looked utterly repulsed and annoyed. 

 

Glad to see Cigarette Sally isn't AS CRAZY as she used to be, I guess.

 

I think she's exactly as crazy as she used to be. She claimed in her TH that she's learned she doesn't have to react to anything. So she finds out James told Jax about Carmen and some dude, what does she do? Hightails it right down to her boyfriend's place of employment and starts a fight in the alley! And it's only going to get better from here, I can't wait!!!

 

Jax must have a mental illness, getting 3 nose jobs and blowing himself up on steroids. Too bad, he looked okay the first season. He gives off a serious gay vibe now.

 

I've always thought Jax was gay for pay. Anything for pay really. But on WWHL he said that his nose jobs didn't cost as much as they could have, because he's friends with the doctor. Friends, really? Jax is just palling around LA with plastic surgeons? Or is he a special kind of "friend"?

 

Katie, honey, getting a ring because of an ultimatum may make you engaged but it also makes you pathetic as hell. I'm surprised she hasn't had an "accidental" pregnancy to try to get that ring.

Does she seriously think that threatening somebody into proposing is a good way to start a life together? Is she really that stupid?

 

What makes it even more pathetic is that there's no follow through. She gave him a 6 month ultimatum, but it's now been 9 months. Still waiting!!!!

 

Shit -this show is back on for another season.

This stupid show is really that popular? Jayzuz.

 

I hope it is super popular and never goes off the air, because it's seriously my favorite thing on Bravo. 

 

Scheana did a fantastic job getting hair hair to have the fried 80s look. Did she know she was at a 70s party? Did Jax? Did his Mom? Did the girl Jax brought?

 

I think it was supposed to be a "Decades Party", so everyone just came in the typical garb of a certain decade. Jax was trying to do 50's, with his lame Grease impersonation. Scheana and Peter were both 80s. Katie appeared to be doing a 90s, Craft type of thing. 

[mjstrick]

I am so glad it's back! My BFF and I text during the show and we're dying at how craptastic Jax looks. Good Lord. Greasy, dirty, and most likely smelly. Blechhhhh

[Duke2801]

Ahhh it's back in all it's messy, sexually-ambiguous, Fireball-soaked glory!  I think I might be in a minority, but I think Kristen seems just as crazy-eyed and irrational as ever.  Ok, well, she didn't haul off and smack the shit out of James, so maybe that is a small step towards progress.  But, overall, no Cigarette Sally still a whack job. I believe it's only a matter of episodes until she lets her full freak-flag fly at full mast again. 

 

 eye vacations

 

 

You owe me a new latte!  LOL Hilarious!  And even more so because he said it again last night.  Such a cheeseball.

 

Katie, honey, getting a ring because of an ultimatum may make you engaged but it also makes you pathetic as hell. I'm surprised she hasn't had an "accidental" pregnancy to try to get that ring.

I tend to think that whole "ultimatum" was for a storyline. It gave them the "drama" factor in season 3, and now season 4 with be the "big proposal"---captured on film, natch.  

 

I think it was supposed to be a "Decades Party", so everyone just came in the typical garb of a certain decade. Jax was trying to do 50's, with his lame Grease impersonation. Scheana and Peter were both 80s. Katie appeared to be doing a 90s, Craft type of thing.

 

 

You are correct.  It was not a 70s Party.

[bichonblitz]

We're only one episode in, folks. I'm sure (and can't wait) Kristin will be back to her bunny boiling ways in no time. I have to say she has improved her living conditions. Her apartment was damn nice for an unemployed waitress. How she payin' for that? Rents in LA are almost as rediculous as NYC. I wonder if Ariana and Tom are still living in their dark, dank shit hole? 

 

Mama Jax- I wouldn't be so proud of what you have raised. Your son is a smarmy asshole of epic proportions. Aside from the 3rd nose job, Jax's sweaty face is all cut up. Is he constantly getting in to fights or what?  He really has some issues. He's just shy of 40 now, right? So he's pissed that Carmen broke up with him before HE was ready. Keep running, Carmen!  Oh, and a normal nose job doesn't usually entail taking cartilage from other parts of the body unless you have to build the nose back up from collapsing from all the coke you're snorting. Or, he keeps getting it broken from all the fights he's getting in to. Either way, something's going on with him that is not being divulged.   

 

Scheana always wanted to replace Stassi as the star, she has gotten her wish. I'm not looking forward to the Scheana show. 

 

Tom Schwartz continues to amuse me. He is dumber than a box of rocks but he is so pretty. I just like looking at him. Please, please let me see that that he and Katy still have that adorable dog they adopted and are giving it lots of love and attention.

Well you know James is DJing at Pump now. I'm sure that's bringing in loads of cash. *trying not to laugh*

[Primetimer]

It's like this girl has a birthday every year or something.

Read the story

[psychoticstate]

Who would have guessed that the love between a 32 year old industrial chimney and a 23 year old Muppet baby wouldn't last?

 

 

No way I can top this gold lame sparkling brilliance so I'm just going to post it at the top of my post.  I've read it half a dozen times and I'm still laughing.  Kadooz!

 

What?  There's a Vanderpump's Rules After Show with the girls from the People's Couch?  OMG!

 

 

Santa has come early.  Seriously - - an After Show of this little gem AND with the Couchies?  YES!

 

You guys, it's back!!!! I can't tell you have excited I am for my favorite guilty pleasure, and knowing this board will be full of the best snark ever. Yay!

 

 

Amen, sister!  I am beyond ecstatic that my favorite chucklefucks are back. 

 

Maybe Kristen can market her t-shirt line to next to Jax' chunky sweater line?  What ever happened to that stellar clothing line anyhow?  I suppose it's hard to design sweaters (chunky or not) when you're busy lifting silverware and alcohol from your place of employment and getting new noses.  Not to mention hooking up with patrons (as many as four at once per Schwartzie on WWHL).  Ewwww.

 

Speaking of, not that I would ever touch Jax with a 10 foot pole covered in industrial strength latex that had been soaking in alcohol for days, but . . . banging Lindsay Lohan has got to be the equivalent of the female walk of shame.  Is there no one in LA (well, besides me) who hasn't jumped on for a ride?  And a porn star too?  Just disgusting.  Why any sane woman would give Jax the time of day is beyond me.  It must be the third nose and the pre-Beverly Hills mansion he's living in now.

 

Kristen, continue to bring that crazy, girl.  She is absolutely nuts but can wear a barely-there top like nobody's business.  The fact that she continues to make Ariana insane fills my black heart with glee.  Her new apartment IS nice.  Does she have "friends" like Jax?  Honestly, how does she afford it?  Is she selling THAT many t-shirts?  She can't possibly be working a normal job - - stalking Sur and its employees takes time.

 

Loved the decades party theme.  Loved the Toms in all their 70s Boogie Nights-ish glory.  Roll on, boys! 

 

StASSi is coming back?  Why? 

[yourmomiseasy]

If Arianna is your BFF, you should not want to hang out with the chick who has been harassing her and making her life hell. Scheana needs to grow a pair. 

 

I do not want Scheanna to be the star of this show.  I will be so sad if production ruins it that way.  Hopefully they are smart enough to figure out that she's not the plucky relatable girl that everyone wants to root for.

 

My BFF had a roommate about 10 or 12 years ago that kept putting the milk carton back empty.  I'd still cut that bitch if I ever ran into her anywhere.  In turn, she still talks shit with me about someone that was rude to me once maybe in 2002.  Both suck and deserve it for more reasons than empty milk cartons and fleeting rudeness, those incidents are just what sparked it.  I'm not inviting her old roommate to my birthday party and she's not inviting that rude troll anywhere either.  We have another friend that is friends with both of them, but the slights were pretty minor and she's been friends with them since way before our campaign of hatred, so it's okay.  It isn't like they were trying to make our lives hell a la Kristen.

I really hope they don't kill this show by focusing too much on stupid Scheana.  

 

I thought the exact same thing about Schwartz last night.  I can't remember exactly what he said but I was like "oh honey, you're lucky you're pretty."

 

 

I think she's exactly as crazy as she used to be. She claimed in her TH that she's learned she doesn't have to react to anything. So she finds out James told Jax about Carmen and some dude, what does she do? Hightails it right down to her boyfriend's place of employment and starts a fight in the alley! And it's only going to get better from here, I can't wait!!!

 

 

I think she's just as crazy, but channeling it in new and exciting ways and I can't wait to see what they are.  I'm so excited that this show is back!

FINALLY! Oh my lord, I had no idea how much I had missed this dumb show!

 

I LOVE that Kristen (Kirsten? I never know her name) has a whole discourse of self-care WHILE being totally drunk.  I also love that this group is made up of minimally varying dependencies on alcohol/substances- one is a drunk, one is almost-an-alcoholic, the other is a narcissist who like to drink, and one is probably headed straight to rehab.  

 

I can't wait for Stassi to show up with that face and then turn around and go home. More Stassi!

 

YAY!

[Ubiquitous]

The whole show last night seemed 100% scripted and it felt like they were trying too hard.

 

Kristin scurrying out from behind the dumpsters like a rat in the alley with Jax heavily sighing and rolling his eyes, "What are you doing here, Kristin?" Got even better when James came out and started yelling and swearing at Kristin for ruining his big DJing career at SUR.

Why do I get the feeling Kristen spends all her time loitering in the alley smoking and stealing drinks from the staff all day?

 

And Scheana wins for saying, "I wish Kristen did something to me directly so that the producers could make sure I could not invite her to things" that's what it is really all about Araina and Tom. There's no real reason she is showing up to these parties besides the cameras. If these people thought Kristen would be off the show, they really are dumber than I thought. Kristen makes  a good chunk of this show. If she wasn't around with the off choice of her screaming at somebody, they would lose a viewer in me. 

Ugh! They say the only way to keep Kristen from crashing their parties to tell her she’s “banned” (whatever the hell that means) and then they whine  about hoping she doesn't show up. Uh, hello?

 

All those fools swigging on handles of fireball is such a bad idea.  Shay was double fisting and DJ Baby Muppet is messy.

Shay was obviously setting things up for his storyline that will require an intervention later this season.

Or the VR curse has struck again!
(That’s where the more screentime anyone on this show gets, the worse they appear)

I missed my VPR people in the forum - SO happy the show is back! The first episode was "meh" to me, except for the last ten minutes or so, when they were outside.  And I noticed they hired Sheana's friend and hairstylist, Jesse, to play the part of a new SUR server. 

[Ubiquitous]

I am so glad it's back! My BFF and I text during the show and we're dying at how craptastic Jax looks. Good Lord. Greasy, dirty, and most likely smelly. Blechhhhh

I bet in HiDef you can see the vermin sloughing off Jax.

Wow. Arianna should never cut her hair short. It does not flatter her smug, lying, cheating little face at all.

Agreed. I thought she looked awful at the party, and that Tom must have been drunk or blind to be telling her how amazing she looked.

I think it was supposed to be a "Decades Party", so everyone just came in the typical garb of a certain decade. Jax was trying to do 50's, with his lame Grease impersonation. Scheana and Peter were both 80s. Katie appeared to be doing a 90s, Craft type of thing.

Katie said she was supposed to be Cher from Clueless...so, fail on her part. It did look like she gained a little weight, as someone else said.

I think I'm the only one who wants Stassi on the show. I would never want to hang out with her or anything but she's a great reality tv asshole and the show isn't the same without her, at least to me.

Scheana is lame and damn does her husband look like pure shit. He was never the cutest but he looks rough as hell. I'd need drugs too to deal with Scheana's voice, style, etc. daily.

Agreed, Ariana's wig was the worst look ever for her. Although, she looked a lot more like a dude that usual so.. Edited November 3, 2015 by Rebecca

I think Tom is actually a lot like Jax when it comes to women. They're both fundamentally boyfriend types who like being in a relationship...as long as they can cheat all the damn time. They both have a tendency to pick girls who can be distracted by flattery for the girlfriend role and then lay it on thick and then fuck everything on two legs behind their backs.

[chick binewski]

I can't help it - I like Katie & Tom 2.0. I think it's because they seem kind of normal when they're together (minus the times Tom slowly rolls out his cheating confession). And I think Katie is gorgeous with her regular dark brown cropped hair; no extensions, no orange. 

 

Every time Kristen and Jax are onscreen I have the overwhelming need to google "distinguishing a psychopath from a sociopath". Kristen is essentially run-of-the-mill batshit but Jax is a total red-flag farm.

 

Also, Ariana wasn't so much Chelsea Girl. More like Velma from Scooby Doo.

[ghoulina]

I don't mind Stassi on the show, as long as it isn't "The Stassi Show". I really didn't care to watch her as the head bitch in charge, surrounded by her fellow mean girls, acting like she runs everything. It was much better when she was taken down a few pegs, especially by Katie. 

 

Scheana is lame and damn does her husband look like pure shit. He was never the cutest but he looks rough as hell. I'd need drugs too to deal with Scheana's voice, style, etc. daily.

 

Awww, I've always kind of thought Shay was cute, in a cuddly teddy bear kind of way. He reminds me a lot of my BIL, so maybe I'm just biased. I've always thought he seemed really sweet, but have never been quite sure how he ended up with Scheana. It makes me really sad to hear he possibly has a drug problem. 

 

And I think Katie is gorgeous with her regular dark brown cropped hair; no extensions, no orange.

 

Katie is, IMO, the prettiest on the show! She has beautiful eyes and great lips. When she's not frying her hair unnatural colors or piling on too much makeup, she's absolutely gorgeous.

You guys are using up my "thumbs up" quota!    I agree that Ariana's face/reaction shots were priceless.  I love that Kristen is the only person in LA who jumps her ass in the car and drives to confront people for every offense, real or imagined.  Why not text them back?   At least she proved she is not living in the alley behind SUR by showing off her apartment.   

 

I need to see what slogans were on the T shirts.   Are they all going to be black with white lettering?
