S04.E20: Push Comes To Shove

[OnceSane]

Lisa hosts Katie and Tom Schwartz's engagement party, but Kristen and Stassi stir up drama and Lala creates a scene. Also, Jax faces his crimes in criminal court and reunites with Stassi, and Tom Sandoval debuts his song. The Season 4 finale.

[Ubiquitous]

What kind of security does successful businesswoman Lisa Vanderbucks have that allows Kristen and Stassi to get past two gateways in order to crash her party?

[bblancobrnx]

The kind that allows CERTAIN non invitees in for the sake of production and the show

Lisa hosts Katie and Tom Schwartz's engagement party, but Kristen and Stassi stir up drama and Lala creates a scene. Also, Jax faces his crimes in criminal court and reunites with Stassi, and Tom Sandoval debuts his song. The Season 4 finale.

 

These bitches need Stassi and Kristen.

 

Katie's inability to take any culpability in her rift with Stassi is off putting. It always, always takes two.

 

I am so annoyed at Stassi groveling at their feet. They are ALL assholes. Stasi at least is funny.

In all honesty if my good friend was going on a trip with someone they knew I suspected of being involved in a plot to blackmail me over a sex tape I'd be pissed and might start to wonder how much I needed said friend in my life too. Stassi is an asshole, but so is Katie and she has always had this tendency to shift loyalties with the wind.

[Ubiquitous]

Oh my gosh! I just realized successful businesswoman Lisa Vanderbucks hasn't had her employees do a sexy photoshoot this season yet!

[ivygirl]

If I were dropped on this planet to marry a man and the first examples of "Earth Men" I saw were Jax and James, I think I'd stay single. UGH.

Engagement Party attire wise, it looks like the girls bought out a Francesca's. Except Ariana, who took a dress from a stage production of Oklahoma and turned it into a party gown, a la Pretty in Pink.

Stassi won this episode. "Shame-ectomy." Jo Malone engagement gift.

Lisa was pretty fun, too. Wish we saw more of this Lisa on RHOBH.

I completely agree. She can make fun of Sandoval's band all she wants and leave the weaving webs talk at the Habitat house.

[AngryCarrot86]

Katie and Schwartzie's engagement party: So. Many. White. Dresses.

FI's performance: Lisa's reaction was golden.

Jax & Brittany: Yikes! He's such a jerk! Who'd a thunk it?? But really... Poor girl. I can't imagine moving across the country for some ape and then have him guilt me about it. Ugh.

Stassi: She has high standards about where she lives. Like on Kristen's couch.

Schwartz: His dad was in law enforcement and his mom is beautiful, but she didn't look excited to be on camera. And triplet brothers!! Wow! I'm somewhat surprised he doesn't have a more affluent background, but his demeanor speaks volumes about the fine folks who raised him.

Ponies!!! Yes!!! Lisa's ponies have been the breakout starts on Bravo.

[Misslindsey]

I could not stop laughing at the shot at the engagement party with Sandoval waving the fan and Ariana blowing bubbles. It was so unintentionally hilarious, as was Sandoval's band. I loved Lisa's reaction to his bands performance, because it was pretty much mimicking mine.

 

I will be at my table for one with preferring the show without Stassi. She still did not serve any real purpose and bored me.

 

I know Scheana is no prize, but it would have been nice to hear some sort of remorse/apology from Ariana for being such a raging bitch. Scheana apologized to her, but their whole friendship falling apart was probably on both of them. It would have been nice if Ariana acknowledge some of that.

 

For some reason I kind of like Brittany. I mean she is with Jax so there is probably a lot wrong with her. Maybe because she seems like a calm person. I have no idea, but I like her.

 

I did like hearing about Schwartz's background about his family.

[neighsayer]

Stassi's TH's were everything.

[ScoobieDoobs]

So Sandoval's music is so bad, it's entertaining?  Nah, not so much.  Oh, and fuck you, producers, for making me listen to Schemer's screeching/singing.  I figured we wouldn't be subjected to that shit ever again.  Still think Sandoval is exceptionally untalented, but I was vaguely fascinated by his clothes.  I've never seen the clothes I see on some of the cast of this show anywhere.  Uniquely LA?  Maybe.  

 

Watch the After Show ONLY to see the jacket Schwartz was wearing.  At first, I thought it was absolutely horrible, but then I changed my mind & thought it was kinda interesting-looking.  Well, it was certainly unique.

 

There is nothing to dislike about Brittany.  She always seems nice.  And yet there's the big question pretty much everyone wants to shake her & scream in her face -- "Hun, why in the fuckety fuck are you with this ape-face loser?"  Well, with the 2 of 'em always leaving the bathroom door open, that teeny studio must stink like hell.  Ew.  If she's OK with that, maybe they deserve each other.

 

Lala's hair looked like a skunk or cat sitting on her head.  Inspired by Trump?  And what's going on with Stassi's hair color?  On the After Show her hair looked too pale & yellowy.  Not sure if it was the lighting there, but that color wasn't flattering her at all.  Made her look really hard.  Reminds me how Lala always looks so rough, hard & older than her age.

[zoeysmom]

I am curious why Scheana makes a big deal about Lala being "barely invited" and being totally wrong about telling Kristen, the party crasher to,"wrap it up."  I kind of felt Kristen's purpose was to rub Arianna nose in her being there when Schwartz and Sandoval met.

 

Scheana went from being sympathetic to just pathetic this year. 

[yourmomiseasy]

Lala really is rachet.  This crew is messy as hell and she is still not classy enough to fit in with them.  Jax has more class than she does.  James is probably the only one she fits with -- they may be a match made in heaven.  I laughed out loud when Lala called herself educated on the aftershow and then laughed even harder when Scheana called her on it.  The two of them fighting was akward gold.  I enjoyed the aftershow this week.

 

The band performing the theme song on WWHL was not awesome.

 

There were some really funny lines this episode, but I can't remember them after 2 hours of Bravo.

[Central Perk]

Favorite moments from this episode include:

 

Sandoval's angy-aggressive face he makes putting on hairspray

 

The VIP table at the party with Arianna blowing bubbles and Tom fanning himself (As mentioned by Misslindsey)

 

Jax saying James weighs 150 pounds soaking wet, and he weighs 200 pounds more <---so Jax weighs 350 pounds?!?

 

XD

[HunterHunted]

When Jax was sitting there berating Brittany about how little she has to contribute to the relationship, I got this overwhelming urge to drive to LA and rescue the girl. I haven't felt this urge since Katrina. Jax is the Katrina of douches. It's unbelievable that Jax seems to have forgotten that Brittany upended her life to move out to LA to be with him and supported him while he was on probation. He's a prize.

James and Lala are better than any abstinence only sex education. They're so repulsive that I can barely keep my LVP sangria down. James is an obnoxious dipshit and Lala is a rachet thirsty fame hungry tease. So gross.

Ariana has so little self awareness. Yes, Scheana is an selfish asshole. But Ariana has been terrible for at least a season, maybe more. Also Ariana's Laura Ingalls Sour dress was not cute.

That shot of Tom and Ariana. The editors must hate them. That was the most Great Gatsby shot I've ever seen. Tom is vigorously fanning himself and Ariana is blowing bubbles all while failing to interact with anyone else. It was enough to show once, but not twice.

Kristen is a lunatic, but a lot of her story this season and last was because she loves deep and hard. It's why she didn't understand why she'd been isolated last season when Jax hadn't.

Sandoval cannot sing.

[Ubiquitous]

I was wiped out from my workout earlier, so I think I zoned out a couple times.  Jax's meltdown at the beginning was disturbing. I think Brittany realized she made a huge mistake moving cross-country to live with someone she met on Instagram. Kristen and Stassi crashing the party was totally staged for dramatics. DJ Muppet Busboy is a total git for showing up stoned and bragging about it, thinking it would give him a pass on his behavior. LaLa really IS a cock-teasing basic bitch. She and DJ Muppet Baby deserve each other. I laughed at the scene with Tom and Arianna alone at their table, fanning and blowing bubbles. Do I remember Arianna and Schemer making up or something similar?

[Suck It Trebek]

Hey! Smarty pants Ariana! Scheana basically just told you that she feels on the outside with Katie/Kristin/Stassi becoming friends again so she wants to make up with you....and you're good with that? Okay, then...

[Ubiquitous]

I should have realized when Shwartzie and Katie told megamillionaire Lisa Vanderbucks they had everything covered with setting up their party, hilarity would ensue. I could have sworn they told her they hired caterers and people to set things up.

[becauseIsaidso]

Once upon a time I stopped watching VPR because of stasshole and only came back when she was gone as I had actually enjoyed the antics of some of the others. Seeing how this final episode played out, I now see this entire season as nothing but a diversionary con to deflect attention from the fact that stasshole always has been and always will be a part of the show. Bitchface's smug arrogance, quite prominently displayed in the last few episodes, only intensified my distaste for the turn the show has taken.

 

Too many totally bullshit things happened, beginning with LVP's agreement in the last episode to have the party at her home with the caveat that stasshole and bitchface not be invited...then totally capitulating when the inevitable happened. I would have much preferred to have the drama of the episode be the forced expulsion of the two skags followed by katie's equally inevitable meltdown...The transition from Villa Rosa to SUR happened so quickly, I totally missed it and almost thought they were still at LVP's place when the rest of the stupidity went down. I have, however, absolutely no interest in watching the episode again to see exactly what happened when.

 

FI and Ariana were the saving graces by virtue of the comic relief they provided.

 

Another remarkable piece of bullshit was the manner in which stasshole gets told off by two different guys in two different episodes, (with unbelievably similar wording) leading to stasshole's tearful 'apology' and the capitulation of each  guy to welcoming her back. ...insert pukeface emoji...

 

Jax is simply too pathologically gross for words.  His ability  to tell LVP to shut up and NOT lose his job was proof positive that the entire season was nothing but a sick joke.

 

Although I find the antics of muppetdj and lalapahloser mildly entertaining, in spite of their various sociopathic behaviors, this show has ceased to have any appeal for me whatever. So sorry I wasted  however many hours of my life I spent viewing it.

[Carolina Girl]

I almost wish Brittany had come back at the modern-day Neanderthal when he bitched about her failure to go online and search for a new apartment while recovering from surgery by asking him why he didn't take advantage of his term of suspension from SUR to do the same.  After all, he would have been available for viewings and lease signings, RIGHT?  He certainly had enough money together to give her a boob job, so first/last/security was available.  Come to think of it, why didn't he start looking for a new place when it was decided that Brittany was moving to L.A.?

 

Because that would have required FORESIGHT.

[Primetimer]

Katie and Tom's sweaty engagement party at Villa Rosa is the venue for Kristen and Lala's depressing feud over James to bubble over.

Read the story

[Misanthrope]

So, I've never seen this show, but I saw that header picture.........

 

And I have some questions.

 

Is that look on purpose?

 

Is she trying to go for "Cindy Lou Who as a porn star"?

 

Is that really a candy necklace?

On an adult?

In 2016?

[ghoulina]

If Jax is supposed to be some sort of clean freak, why can't he clean his damned greasy face? I get that he feels crowded in that little space, but he invited Brittany out there and he's making her feel like it's all her fault. I hate him, and her dependency bugs. 

 

I mean, he just basically told her he'd rather be in jail than with her! How do you put up with that??? And he has the nerve to lecture other people about how to talk to women? Take a seat, Jax. Take several. 

 

He clearly has no respect for Brittany, he's already salivating over his ex. No respect for anyone. He talks to Lisa like he's her surly teenage son. Why does everyone put up with him???

 

But then, sometimes he's the smartest one in the room, like when he correctly deduced why Stassi came back. 

 

 

Do Kristen and Stassi ever hang out sans alcohol?

 

James's "dream in life" is making a soundtrack for a bar he got fired from? Ha. Goals. 

 

It's so gross how he plays Kristen and Lala off of each other and they're both idiots for putting up with it. Kristen is a drunk loser. Lala is a shallow moron. Her complaints about Kristen - "I hate her shoes, I just don't think she is a good person". Enough said. 

 

Kristen's speech was kind of awkward and long winded, but Lala was pure classless trash for acting like that in front of everyone's mom and grandma. No more invites for her!

 

Speaking of moms, Schwartzie was totally cute with his! Katie better quit with the rage texting, because I think she really did get a good one. 

 

I really hate Kristen's new "zen/adult" attitude. I wanted to see Lala's face punched in. Boo hiss. What a let down. 

[kacesq]

I love this silly stupid show and these trainwrecks, I can't help it. I watched all two hours last night and actually already own the theme song, lol. 

 

Who said Lala had "shih tzu hair"? Was it Stassi or Kristin?  Because I'm not a fan of Stassi but I will give her points if she came up with that.

 

I knew from the get go that Stassi and Kristin would show up at the party and that Lisa would let it happen.   As did we all, I guess...

 

MVP of this season for me was Schwartzie.  I think there's a really sly sense of humor there, and he does not take this stuff seriously at all. Like last week when he said he'd be in FI Tom's music video because he didn't have anything else going on...

 

Ah, FI Tom. You remind me of all those really intense college guys who are poets, musicians, etc. and you believe in your talent which by now you should've figured out is pretty non-existent.

 

I have a shameful wish for next season. I wouldn't mind seeing FI Tom and Kristin get back together because the corresponding Ariana meltdown would make for some fine TV. 

 

And show, please stop pretending Jax and Stassi are the OTP.  They're not and all of that conversation seemed so forced.

[Carolina Girl]

I often wonder what these arrested development 30-year-olds are going to do when the Bravo paycheck ends and they STILL haven't achieved the pathway to acting/singing/modeling they desire and they're back to living on their SUR earnings?  BTW, is Kristen even working?  Or is that t-shirt line that looks like its being manufactured in Cousin Kevin's Garage and Silkscreen Factory providing her a viable income?

[Duke2801]

I am far from a fan of Stassi and generally think she's a terrible person. BUT.  She legitimately made me laugh several times last night - at Kristen's expense.  I WISH I could rewrite the quote she said verbatim, but it was something to the effect of "I have doubts and worry about what people think of me.  Kristen is fortunate not to be plagued by such things."

 

As annoying  and low-class as Lala, I still kinda love her for telling Kristen to wrap up the speech.  Even Lisa said on WWHL that she agreed with Lala.  Apparently K's speech went on. and on and on.

 

Because as much as I dislike Stassi, I'll always despise Kristen just a little bit more.  She's. the. worst.  Well, alongside Jax.

She loves so deep and so hard that she screwed her boyfriends best friend on the couch while her boyfriend was sleeping in the next room. lol

These are all horrible people and even worse actors. They're given a thread or theme to follow by the Bravo writers, a story-line to build upon, and then they're set loose to go with the flow and use their own unscripted dialog since none of them is intelligent enough to memorize more than two lines.

 

My stand-out, most memorable line came out of Stassi's mouth when she and Kristen were casually crashing the engagement party. "I so admire Kristen's bravery when it comes to crashing events. Somewhere along the line she had a 'shamectomy', that part of her has been just like amputated". (insert dramatic music here) Okay so this is what I'm talking about. A woman that admires another woman because that woman has no shame at all. So cool, right?

 

This whole clan of misfits can't really sink much lower, can they? They're all either alcoholics, drug abusers, cheaters, liars, sexual deviates or in the case of Jax Taylor just plain lowlifes. Do these people plan to grow up to be an adult some day? The hard party life is beginning to show on their faces. Take a look at photos of each of them from two years ago or even last year. The changes in their appearance is remarkable, and it's not a good type of remarkable. Even Lala who is one of the two youngest in this show, she used to be attractive and 'clean' looking but now she's looking more whorish, cheap and tacky.

 

Although Kristen and Stassi remain on the top of my list of people that disgust me as human beings, Jax, Lala, James are right behind them on that list. I'm going to throw Lisa Vanderpump into that list too because in the final analysis she's the one who conceptualized this whole nasty business and gets to shove it all in our faces every week. The show is demoralizing for society in general. I wouldn't allow my teenager to watch it if I had teenage children and I won't contribute to the ratings by watching it next season.

[ghoulina]

I laughed out loud when Lala called herself educated on the aftershow and then laughed even harder when Scheana called her on it.

 

 

But don't you know, she reads now! She reads Ayn Rand. She loves books about architects. :P

 

 

oh my god, Lala is the biggest cock tease ever. She justs wants attention from james and is never gonna give it up to him. ergh, they deserve each other.

 

 

And he KNOWS this! One drunken dinner with Kristen and she throws down and consumates on the Beemer. But Lala has never, and will never, give it up...so why does he keep going back???

 

 

Hey! Smarty pants Ariana! Scheana basically just told you that she feels on the outside with Katie/Kristin/Stassi becoming friends again so she wants to make up with you....and you're good with that? Okay, then...

 

 

Yup. As soon as Stassi started making her apology rounds, Scheana got nervous. If she ends up being dethroned as Katie's HBIC, she's going to need Ariana back in her life. For a self-professed genius, Ariana really is clueless.

[njbchlover]

Oh my gosh! I just realized successful businesswoman Lisa Vanderbucks hasn't had her employees do a sexy photoshoot this season yet!

 

Maybe because she has finally realized that this motley group just isn't really all that sexy anymore??  

 

I'm sure there are lots of restaurants in LA that actually do have a YOUNGER, more attractive and sexier looking bar/wait staff....y'know - attractive, clean, well-groomed people that are in their early/mid 20's, that are not fighting the beginnings of the aging process by botoxing and sucking in their gut everytime a camera is turned their way.

Oh WOWIE! I just caught a snippet from the reunion on WWHL an Lala looked absolutely absurd. She was wearing as much makeup as a clown and not flattering makeup either. Her whole face had this otherworldly purple hue. Absolutely disturbing

[pbutler111]

Really enjoyed watching Jax work so hard to get Brittany of Sunnybrook Farm to break up with him so he wouldn't have to be the bad guy by simply saying he didn't want her there. Too bad (for her) that he failed. And how does one have a "reunion" with people you work with/see every single day?

I think that's what I like about Brittany. She seems to have Jax's number and is just playing along to get to wherever she wants to go. On WWHL last week she was on with Sheana and Katie and they said they believed Jax and Brittany would end up married. I don't find that very far-fetched. Brittany is wily-er then I initially gave her credit for and her cheerful acceptance of all things Jax seems to throw him a bit. I also credit Brittany with really doing a good job of just quietly slotting herself into the group. Where Lala has gone for over-the-top, ridiculous behavior to get the airtime, Brittany has let her addition to the group happen naturally. 

 

It may be, if Brittany is still present for next season (assuming there is one), that she'll have morphed into an attention seeking horror like Lala, but until then, I think I'll just enjoy seeing her play Jax.

[ghoulina]

Right? I've never found Jax attractive, but when you see the flashbacks, you realize just how bloated and greasy he has become. Who wants that promoting their business? Plus, Sandoval is clearly no longer shaving his forehead. Katie, pretty as she is, has put on some weight. James is like an emaciated troll. Lala totally DOES resemble a shitzu. Ariana isn't bad looking, but girl can't be bothered to smile, and the "sexy" she tried to put off for her man's music video looked more like constipation. Schwartz is, IMO, the best looking one, but he doesn't even work there!

I had no idea I was failing at life so badly and my standards were so low.  Sky blue walls and crown moldings are requirements in life.  Noted.  Thank you, StASSi.

 

Thanks to the time change and a ridiculous day at work, I fell asleep about halfway through this and will have to catch up tonight.  I did see the scenes between Brittany and Jax and how she refrained from punching him in his sweaty, steroid induced simian-like face is a mystery to me.  And no offense intended to simians. Any bonehead, including Jax, should know that putting two people - - ESPECIALLY a new couple who has never lived together before - - into a studio apartment is akin to a death trap.  How Jax's big fat head and Brittany's big new hooters both fit in there stymies me.

Jax is definitely exhibiting some of the more obvious signs of long-term anabolic steroid use which would also explain his explosive temper and the theft of sunglasses. I figured a long time ago that he was using and now I have no doubt about it.

Physical signs;

    Unusually greasy hair or oily skin

    Small red or purplish acne, including breakouts on the shoulders and back

    Bad breath (I only assume this one)

    Disrupted sleep patterns (not sleeping well or sleeping too much)

    Fluid level changes, bloating (face & body), and night sweating

    Rapid or progressive weight gain

    Increased muscle size (sudden or progressive)

    Hyperactivity or lethargy (too little energy)

 

Personality and Emotional signs;

    Extreme mood swings

    Increased aggression or irritability

    Becomes disrespectful or abusive (verbally and/or physically)

    Poor decision making stemming from feelings of invincibility

    Becomes secretive and/or starts lying

    Withdraws from family members

    Depression (especially when steroids are discontinued)

    Paranoia – extreme feelings of mistrust or fear

 

The sides of a person's face don't spontaneously pop out sideways on its own and stay there. Steroids make bone mass increase. Jax (Jason) Taylor has aged at least 10 years in the last three years he's been on this show. He's most likely using cocaine regularly which would also explain his extreme aggressiveness, paranoia, overconfidence and poor judgement.

FI and Ariana were the saving graces by virtue of the comic relief they provided.

I am sure Arianna appreciates your recognition of the seriousness with which she takes comedy (thanks to a class or two at the Learning Center).

 

Loved watching Katie and Tom leaving the restaurant, as they were walking down the street saying that they really missed GORDO! They love that cutie patootie dog so they must be good people in my book!

OMG! Did their dog die and I missed it?

 

But don't you know, she reads now! She reads Ayn Rand. She loves books about architects. :P

I thought LaLaPaloser was reading Ayn Rand's book about plumbers? 

 

By the way - was that what passes for "sky blue" in L.A.  - maybe it was my TV but it looked like a light grey to me.  

 Wait, that was sppsd to be sky blue? I thought StASSi was fixing to paint it herself in that scene.

 

I am still scratching my head over Jax trying to get rid of Brittany when he returned from court in Hawai'i. He's lucky he didn't get sentenced to ten years of picking and slicing pineapples.

OMG! Did their dog die and I missed it?

 

 

No. Why would you think it died?

In my fantasy (although yours is awesome), I would clap my hands if a long-lost tribe of aboriginal ancient Hawaiian people creeped silently out of the jungle and kidnapped Jax, carried him over their heads (in a ritualistic manner) to the beach to roast (spike up his ass) over an open wood flame, eat him and throw the rest to the pigs for dinner.

I figured out what I was trying to say last night.  It just perplexes me that someone is too trashy for this classless group, but then here comes Lala.  What makes it worse, is I think a lot of her behavior is an act.  Let's face it, Katie's engagement party wasn't tea with the queen, but Lala still stuck out like a sore thumb.  I hope that much like her SUR hostess-stand predecessor, Vail, she's one and done. 

I am sure Arianna appreciates your recognition of the seriousness with which she takes comedy (thanks to a class or two at the Learning Center).

1.) Bwhaaa.  You are a master of comedy, only rivaled by Arianna

 

2.) They just missed Gordo because they'd been out all day dealing with the party.  I miss mine when I'm away from them longer than usual.  I went on a business trip last week and had to call the boarding joint and move my pick-up to as early as possible because I missed my little furfaces too much and couldn't wait the extra 4 or 5 hours.

I find it hilarious that Kristin, who has banged 4 different guys this season, calls Lala a ratchet whore. IIRC she only slept with her ex... Not an ex, a yacht captain, couch crashing clinger and of course friendly leftovers.

Sorry but I think the editors did a voice of Kristen referencing her own hookup with Had when we hear her saying "that is an STD waiting to happen"about James and Lala

Whatever happened to Aleks from 'Overboard'? Maybe he was allergic to cooties. Kristen also said "I feel like my cheek just got an STD" or something to that effect after a kiss on the cheek from James. I had to laugh out loud for real when at the engagement party James greeted her with a kiss on each cheek and she says "Ohhh, are we British now?"  DUH Kristen, yes..... he is.

Lala's hair looked like a fountainhead which I thought was very apt. Jax is a douche. He got off so easy--I figured they'd knock the felony to a misdemeanor since it wasn't a violent offense and it was only a $50 difference but it sounds like he got a deferred sentence. I don't know about Hawaii but in Michigan they use those for minor first time offenses (like petty theft) and as long as you pay the state money and do whatever is required over the assigned probationary period your record will not reflect being convicted of a crime. Jax already has a record and history of ignoring court dates and warrants so I'm surprised they let him get away with this. 

 

Oh wait, I forgot crime pays or at least doesn't fuck you for life if you have money for a good lawyer.

No, I took it to mean that  they were on their way home and they couldn't wait to see him. It was cute.

ax is definitely exhibiting some of the more obvious signs of long-term anabolic steroid use which would also explain his explosive temper and the theft of sunglasses. I figured a long time ago that he was using and now I have no doubt about it.

Physical signs;....etc etc etc....

Sheesh, with the excpetion of the bad breath and the acne, Jax could be dealing with menopause.

 

Another question:

 

Not sure if this has ever been posted on this forum, but does anyone have any idea what these kids get paid to be on the show?
