I just assume it's the same reason that lots of people on reality tv shows go to each others parties: because they are both on the same TV show and contractually obligated to appear in some scenes together. And,as it's been mentioned, you can't discount the Tom/Tom relationship.  Social niceties, blah blah blah.

In any case, whatever the reason she was invited, I'm so glad she went.  Only because she gave Ms. StASSi the read she so desperately needed and deserved.  One of the few times Stassi actually seemed (mercifully) at a loss for words.

 

I get that. And I'm sure that "fight about the NDA" was on the shot list for that scene. But I guess I don't see her particular reaction as all that awesome. Not that I think Stassi is great, at all. I'm all for shutting her down. I just don't find that Ariana's brand of smugness is superior to the coven's.

(It was, however, hilarious the way they showed Stassi et al swooping out the door after that interaction.)

A-ha! Maybe that's all they can afford to eat at this point! Taco Bell can really stretch a dollar!

And yet Scheana passed on the food at that amazing clam bake. Maybe she would have eaten the lobster if it had been in an oversalted stone cold taco.

[ScoobieDoobs]

OK, the NDA stuff is giving me a headache, but if Ari & FI signed one, then does that mean they also can't admit to signing one?  Do we give this one to Stassi PI?

Btw, that white shoelace dress thingy Stass was wearing at the bridal shower was also giving me a wicked headache.  This makes 2 fashion fails, Stassi.  First the Steve Jobs white turtleneck swimsuit, and now this thing.

Sheesh, Lala, you are one shitty-ass liar.  But the biggest prob with Lala is how insulting & nasty she is with her lies.  She has to be pretty stupid if she thinks anyone believes her lies -- particularly when they're so idiotic.

Yeah, Lala, every woman in LA who isn't ugly & has tits is flying around in private jets.  Sure, you keep saying that steaming pile of bullshit, hun, and see who believes you.

[Silly Angel]

I can be all about the Stassi, but this mean girl, in-crowd, coven nonsense under the guise of protecting her "friends" was growing tiresome even before she said Ariana "does whatever she wants. She hangs out with the boys. She comes to the girls' bridal shower." I'm paraphrasing, but yes, she gets to go places like a grownup and do things she enjoys. "You can't sit at our lunch table" is an argument that cuts no ice with adults, you vindictive little trouts, so shut it.

If anything, be mad at Schwartzie for making an end-run around the witches of WeHo by asking Ariana to be a groomsman.

I'm scared of how long this "season" may be, and how many "events" will be subjected to.

I've never eaten Taco Bell so I won't comment on the quality.  Just seems to me like a typically dumb chucklefuck move.  I mean they (uh, Bravo) are spending scads of dough to rent that joint -- but they're too dumb to think of hiring a chef to make fresh food?

If the previews are to be believed, Schwartzie definitely feels the wrath of Tequila Katie for his defiance.

I doubt it was about money. It seemed like the Taco Bell was either a direct request from Katie, or something she had mentioned  - in passing - that she would like for her shower.  She clearly loves the Bell and was very happy about it.

Who cares--maybe she likes that food ("food"?). It probably goes well with tequila and she can blame it for a so-called "not-summer" body!

Ok, just shoot me now. I am loving sober James. He wasn't having any of LaLa's bullshit when she was at his apartment and when he met with Kristen and Stassi, he told them what he had to and got the hell out of there. Loved it! 

I couldn't take my eyes off Brittney's moms lipstick. Frosted white lips. I so remember that from 1970. Back in the day, with blue eyeshadow and thick black eyeliner. 

Speaking of 1970's, wow that house they rented for the shower. Thick white carpet and fake cheap silk flowers and ugly chatchki's everywhere. It looked like the houses that are so often rented out in LA to shoot porn movies.

To me it is more about the ridiculous premise that given some insight into Lala's life, they can justify calling her a whore, skank, whatever.  Katie already has so why justify it?  Stassi is upset with Lala because she too has packed on some pounds, Scheana lost weight and so any comments about their bodies are off limit. 

I find Lala one of the worlds worst liars, part f the reason she is outed is because she surrounds herself with an incredibly gifted group of liars. Lala did tweet that James wasn't with her at Coachella.  She also tweeted, "apparently keeping a relationship private is worse than sleeping with Stassi's boyfriend."   I wonder if Lala will return for the Reunion?

I agree she is unnecessarily gross when she is trying to make a point-but I don't think it is all that rare that hopeful models, starlets and reality hos are invited to an event that includes a private plane.

The coven seems far too interested in where Lala's money comes from-what do Stassi, Kristen, Tom Schwartz do for a living-oh they all draw paychecks from Vanderpump Rules.

They've actually been pretty friendly with Lala this season, which has irritate the Coven to no end. I think they still had a good time, and it probably would have been awkward if Lala and Jax were in that cramped RV together. But Ariana wasn't going to invite people she didn't like. They had to pay for tickets for an exact number of people and give specific names and everything. So it was super shitty of Lala to bail so last minute. Personally, I think her married BF found out that Jax was there and put his foot down. The way James speaks of Lala's behavior, this mystery guys seems quite controlling, to me. 

I don't think the mystery bf put his foot down about Jax, I don't think he gives two shits about her little VPR buddies.  But I won't be surprised if he was suddenly available (or just wanted her at his beck-and-call) and Lala jumped at the chance to spend time with her sugar daddy…and his money.

Ariana shutting down Stassi was great, mainly because Stassi didn't have any sort of comeback--she's definitely better in THs where she can think of her response well in advance.

Brittany's mom was making the most of her TV time; hopefully, that's the last we get of her.

Previews for the rest of the season look AWESOME!! 

[WhosThatGirl]

My problem with Ariana is what I stated: she's acting like she's above everything that's going on and she made Katie upset at her bridal shower and then told Stassi: "I'm here because I care about Katie".. but again I think "not enough to not be friends with someone who constantly hurt her feelings?"  And I'm sorry but I really refrain from talking about people's weight. That always makes me mad, as no one has any right to judge anyone else's weight (unless you are a medical professional advising someone). I honestly don't think Lala was ever really sorry for the things she said. I think she was just upset that people were calling her out on her lies on the show.

So.. I mean, Ariana really does just want to pick and chose what she wants to do. I get what Stassi is saying here.  And actually I think outside of the show, Stassi is fun. Her podcast is pretty fun.  And the way Araina talks to people is RUDE. She does have a complex. She's so above and everything.

As always with Stassi, it's really about some shit that she won't really talk about on camera. In season 1, she said she wanted Scheana gone because Scheana was a homewrecking cheater. She actually wanted Scheana gone because they wanted Schwartz to be a full time castmember. Stassi now is condemning Lala because she's dating a married man, but Stassi actually wants Lala gone because she's epically nasty to Katie and is allegedly unstable and violent when the cameras are off. Plus I'm sure they would love it if one of their friends was added to the cast once Lala leaves.

For money, Stassi has her podcast and Kristen and Schwartz do a ton of appearances.

[ScoobieDoobs]

Hate to admit this, but Stass is right.  Why are FI & Ari always defending Lala?  It does seem suspicious.  Is it because they're such close friends with her?  Sure doesn't seem like it.

Are they defending Lala because of the NDA they signed with her -- to not open their traps about the rich married bf?  Or is it because of the NDA they signed with Bravo -- which has them planned out & scripted to support Lala no matter what?  Hmmm, so many NDA's the chucklefucks gotta sign . . . 

I guess I get the idea of Taco Bell -- altho it is a typical loopy chucklefuck contrast to the fancy-schmancy mansion.  So often the idea of fast food is way better than how it actually is, because the quality is all over the place.  I didn't really see the Taco Bell stuff.  Did it look any good?  So in the mood for Mexican now.

For the most part it stayed wrapped, so I couldnt really see. I have to assume that it was smooshed per usual. I don't think I have ever had a Taco Bell meal that wasn't. I thought it was a pretty funny idea, though. (And was that *rose* tequila?)

The dude dinner at the Mexican joint is what got me jonesing. I wonder where they went.

I'd be very happy if I showed up at a party & there was Taco Bell!!!  I haven't had it in forever (I used to take boy-child to the drive-thru after soccer practice sometimes, *he* (AHEM) really liked that...he's 25 now...)

It might be easier to believe Lala's endless mincing about how sock-o successful and badass she is if she weren't always sporting those hideously cheap-looking Lee press-on talons. They, combined with the always-too-tight-and-short dresses -- make her look like the cheapest of hookers.

I don't think Tom and Ariana have the same level of vitriol, that Katie and Stassi possess.  How many times has Sandoval forgiven Jax?  So why get incredibly worked up over the woman-she has said her farewells.  What comes of as arrogance on Ariana's part, comes off as sane to me.  There is a living to be made after the show. 

Cold Taco Bell is disgusting and doesn't even rise to the level of kitschy clever.

[ScoobieDoobs]

So wasn't Lala's bf a moron for thinking his identity wouldn't come out eventually?  

OK, admittedly, Bravo's NDA's are rock solid -- and there are Bravo secrets that might stay hidden long after we're all gone.  But that's Bravo, which is part of a huge corporation.  But an NDA from just another independent LA producer?  Maybe not exactly the same, eh?

I couldn't take my eyes off those giganto earrings Brittney's mom was wearing.

Just saw the Taco Bell stuff.  It was wrapped & smooshed & kinda squashed.  Is that part of the charm of Taco Bell?  Scheana said it was 200 bucks worth.  That is shit-ton of Taco Bell.  Ah, chucklefucks.  Loaded down with Bravo dough & spending it on 200 bucks worth of Taco Bell.  OK then.

I think Ariana is much more tolerable this season. I suspect LVP had a talk with her about getting paid for the show, but refusing to hang with the cast or her excessive eye rolling when she does. I think Sandoval doesn't have that level of vitriol, but Ariana does. Ariana was pissed when Scheana was hanging with Kristen, whose treatment of Ariana was a worse version of what Lala is doing to Katie. Even in season 4 where they mostly had reached a detente, Ariana couldn't help but shoot hate eye daggers at Kristen. Actually she was pissed when any of them mentioned Kristen last season. She's got to realize that Katie is just in the same head space about Lala that Ariana was about Kristen.

Idk, I'm enjoying Ari putting Stass in her place.  Stass doesn't even have a good comeback for it.  She looks shocked anyone would counter her.  More to come next week.  Awesome!

Bwah! Thanks for reminding me about that! It may have been post-workout fatigue, but I was scratching my head for several minutes wondering what the hell Jax was talking about until he said they were using yoyos to blow the dust around and realized he was talking about those spherical incense burners on chains! How the fuck did he mistake that for dust? I saw several of those in action in a German monastery and would have never mistaken them for "dust blowers". That stuff gave me a wicked case of asthma, BTW.

Oh hardly.  It's no little boat & you're not by yourself in the least.  I'm thinkin' of one of those big-ass yachts, which Lala & her crowded pack of pals (you know, the hookers & mistresses-of-rich-dudes) routinely & casually travel on -- according to Lala, that is.  Well, actually, according to Lala it's all women in LA who aren't ugly & have tits that travel this way.  Ah, but I digress . . . 

No, Ari's above-it-all 'tude & her constant eye-rolling is annoying enough in a teen or your wiseass child.  But in an over 30 adult, it's maddening, charmless & an insufferable turn off.  But set this shitty-ass attitude on Stassi & we have us some entertainment!  Hey, I say bravo, Bravo.

Hey, am I alone here or is Pete really lookin' smokin' hot?  He looks hotter each ep.  Why was he hanging on for so long to that greasy, scuzzy-looking long hair?

Poor guy.  They must still be paying him peanuts cuz they almost never let him say anything on cam.  His one line this ep was laughing at Schwartzie thinking the wedding would cost 15 thou.  But I didn't get if Pete was commenting on that figure being way high or low.

Idk, as hot as Pete looks now, he still seems scuzzy to me.  The kiss between him & Stass, in the preview for next ep, made me shudder.  Not sure why.  Maybe cuz I felt like I was witnessing the transfer of STD's?  But which way?  From Stass to Pete -- or Pete to Stass?  Hmmmm . . .

I agree I don't think Kristen insanity and behavior towards Tom and Adriana is even in the same league as Lala towards Katie.  Adriana was tasked by their boss to ask them to take it down a notch and instead the exacerbated it.  If I were Ariana I would never turn my back on Kristen.  I find it far more real when there is some animosity towards a nut job.  I find Katie to be overreacting to pretty basic slights.  She comes off terribly insecure, and I really cant see her as an assistant to LVP.  I guess it is fairly obvious by now this crew just shows up to work at SUR when filming, so they have to figure out new scenarios.   

Tom and Adriana both deny being asked to sign NDA, and said they never saw the guy at Coachella, and even went so far as to show a picture of the suspected guy to the lessor (or agent thereof) of the Coachella property and said that was not the guy who leased the property. http://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/lala-kent-boyfriend-tom-sandoval-ariana-madix-react-video  Not that this cast has not been known to bold face lie before, but it seems kind of real.

Here's a bit of eerie trivia about the place: it was Sharon Tate's favorite restaurant.  In fact, she, Jay Sebring, Abigail Folger, and Voytek Frykowski all had dinner there together about four hours before they were murdered by members of the Manson Family.

If you go to El Coyote, you can request to be seated in the very booth where they sat that night.

[TattleTeeny]

That's why I found the restaurant's name so familiar even though I have never been to L.A.! Thank you!

[RHJunkie]

LVP looked great in her scene with Katie and Tom.

Lala, please go away. Before you start obsessing with why those girls thing you're a hoe, first get your money story straight. I don't think any of the women should be concerned with what Lala is doing but when you stupidly put yourself in lies that you constantly get caught in, why would anyone believe what you have to say? You ruin your own credibility and then you act like a dumbshit idiot who can't understand at all why people don't just accept everything that comes out of your mouth. I also think it's really foul of her to be mocking James' complete cleanse of alcohol. When you know a friend that is struggling and acknowledges their struggle with alcohol, you don't convince them to take a 'baby' shot. Not sure you have many brain cells working up there in that head of yours Lala. 

Good call on Sandoval calling BS on Lala's half assed apology. Her conversation with James about it is clear that she wasn't nearly as sorry as she tried to pretend that she was. 

While it would have been nice for Kristen to give Brittany a heads up, I don't think it's a big deal. No one in that audience knew (which by the way, only Kristen's crowd seemed to be laughing during the skits from what it looks like), and the picture is already on the internet. Brittany, if you'd like to avoid being embarrassed by anything your boyfriend does, get a boyfriend that isn't embarrassing. It's like playing with pigs then you get upset that you got dirty. 

Stassi, why do you always have to be involved in shit? I feel like Katie's reaction to Arianna bringing up Stassi's treatment of her was a moment of humiliation for Katie and so she deflected. 

Arianna doesn't care that she stole Kristen's boyfriend? - The same Kristen that cheated on that boyfriend? The same Kristen who fucked your boyfriend and did everything in her power to cover it up, including lying to you...and guess what? You're friends with her now...mainly because she was the only friend at the time that would give your sorry ass the time of day. 

Arianna doesn't care that her friend is dating a married man - it's not for Arianna to care about the decisions two consenting adults make. Just because someone doesn't ruin a friendship over it doesn't mean that they endorse it. Also, Arianna made perfect sense to say that the man is at fault too and Stassi immediately wrote that off. 

Arianna doesn't care that she's ruining Katie's bridal shower - YOU brought it up and were trying to extract a confession out of her, not because you know for a fact, but you just want to be right. That's YOUR fault Stassi, you dumbass. 

Essentially, when Arianna tried to say that her friendships don't consist of fighting like Stassi's friendships do and just because Arianna doesn't want to play their game, Stassi's reaction was to question Arianna's presence and tell her to leave? Stassi is still the overbearing, tyrant she always was, except this time she realizes that she has to let Katie think she's running the show in order to maintain her squad.

I'm pretty much or the shame or whatever of dating married people.  Men, women, or other.  Who cares?  Plus, loaded or not loaded - although especially when loaded - open relationships are everywhere.  I'm down with most things so long as there is full disclosure and full agreement (which includes the wife).  It's when these two things are missed that I take a negative view.

While it would have been nice for Kristen to give Brittany a heads up, I don't think it's a big deal. No one in that audience knew (which by the way, only Kristen's crowd seemed to be laughing during the skits from what it looks like), and the picture is already on the internet. Brittany, if you'd like to avoid being embarrassed by anything your boyfriend does, get a boyfriend that isn't embarrassing. It's like playing with pigs then you get upset that you got dirty. 

I think they [Kristen, Jax and Brittany] pre-arranged the whole thing as a storyline for the show.  I'm still convinced Brittany is with Jax because he's on VdPR.  And Kristen and Jax would never hesitate to manufacture a storyline.

What I find kind of funny is that they are only willing to create one episode drama these days vs. season spanning melodrama.  A little more protective of their edit than they used to be.

I also think James is the one that reached out to Kristen and Stassi about the NDA once it was clear Lala was going to bail on the show and he'd lost his last tenuous tie.

He looks great! Why isn't the poor boy allowed to talk this season?

LOL, did they show it and I totally spaced? Admittedly I was a little distracted/out of it... 

Yeah, I was being sarcastic b/c there was this lingering establishing shot of El Coyote's sign and the boys kept repeating the name, ie., "El Coyote is my FAVORITE restaurant!", "I love the tequila shots at El Coyote!".

Poor guy.  They must still be paying him peanuts cuz they almost never let him say anything on cam.  His one line this ep was laughing at Schwartzie thinking the wedding would cost 15 thou.  But I didn't get if Pete was commenting on that figure being way high or low.

Idk, as hot as Pete looks now, he still seems scuzzy to me.  The kiss between him & Stass, in the preview for next ep, made me shudder.  Not sure why.  Maybe cuz I felt like I was witnessing the transfer of STD's?  But which way?  From Stass to Pete -- or Pete to Stass?  Hmmmm . . .

Peter definitely looks better without the "pirate look" but I can't help but wonder who paid for his plastic surgery.

Of course Ariana signed the NDA for free shit. It's one more thing for her to sigh dramatically about while acting superior. Why has no one told her to stop wearing red eye shadow? She looks like a vampire! 

Schwartz really does not want to get married.  Men who want to get married don't make jokes about how miserable it is making them.  I'm a guy so I didn't grow up dreaming of my wedding day,  but even so I would be devestated to see my significant other talking like that. 

Brittany's mom torturing jax is so uncomfortable and wonderful!

Oh my. I honestly totally missed that. (I'll blame my meds.) Hilarious. On any other day, I'd have been sarcastic about it too!

I'll sit in my own little boat by myself still thinking  Araina is still as annoying even this season as ever. 

I think you're going to need a bigger boat......little won't hold the amount if people who find her annoying.

Really, I should have enjoyed that moment where she rips Stassi.  But it's Ariana.  I just rolled my eyes at Princess Aboveitall.

Wait, what?  What kind of surgery do ya think Pete had?  Jax-alike nose job?  Scheana preventative Botoxing?

What was really going on there with Brit's mom?  I mean, Brit is not exactly an underage teen.  She's a 27 year old woman.  This is clearly her choice to be Jax's servant-girl.  In return for being his slave, she lives rent-free in what looks like a relatively nice place in LA, he pays all her bills & she gets to be on a national TV show.

We know nothing about who Brit is & what her life was like in Kentucky -- other than being a Hooters waitress.  As hard as it for us to believe, maybe her life with Jax, as shitty as it appears to be, is better than what she left behind in Kentucky.

To me, Brit's mom was not-so-subtly saying to Jax -- Look, bub, I don't like you & I don't trust your motives toward my daughter.

Honestly, despite Brit's sorta tough talk on not taking Jax's crap, I don't think she's yet seen anywhere near the worst of what lowlife Jax is capable of dishing out.  I'm surprised he isn't getting on her case about her weight gain.  Maybe it's only a matter of time till that happens.  Let's see how long she can tolerate him when he really is horrible.

So Brittany's mom is Magda, Cameron Diaz's neighbor in There's Something About Mary?
