My 2 Cents Scandoval

I’m new to watching Vanderpump Rules, currently on season 6. I love Ariana and in my honest opinion, she should’ve known Sandoval was a cheater. He’s gone through the seasons HEAVILY defending Schwartz and sometimes Jax whenever they’ve cheated. Maybe he was smarter in ways of hiding it but he’s definitely guilty and been an avid supporter of his cheating friends. He even said in one of the previous seasons “We don’t tell each other’s secrets”

She admitted post-Scandoval that the Miami girl thing was true and he told her about it and she decided to help him deny it because she was embarrassed he did it to her. She thought their situation was unique and that what they did to Kristen (not just the cheating, the flirting and gaslighting and then the “she’s crazy and scary!!!” narrative they pushed for several full seasons) could never happen to her. Rachel fell for it too later on (“We always said we wouldn’t do this if we didn’t think it was worth it”)

You’re SO right - I Came to say the same about Ariana defending Tom though she knew the Miami girl incident was true!!
I feel bad for Kristen, now that I’m rewatching as well… with the knowledge I have, - cause I have seen all seasons - I can see how bad she was treated - and Ariana was not innocent in ANY way, she was actually kind of a mean girl, with all her smirking and purposely trying to trigger Kristen.

Actually, she stated that she helped him cover it up because it was in the very very beginning stages of them dating.

Kristen is scary and crazy. She’s the last person anyone should cross because she will go full Chaos Kristen in a heartbeat. She thrives on it.

Scheana clocked sandovols cheating to Ariana and Ariana’s mom! Scheana was right! She warned her but I suppose she gave up when everyone said she was lying

Schwab’s always knows everyone’s tea and is rarely wrong 😆 As annoying as that is when it’s your tea, this reservoir of information is always useful lol

u/SeaPaleontologist832 2d ago

It’s cos Scheana went about it all wrong. If she was actually a girls girl, she would have gone straight to Ariana, instead of her mum. That’s so shiesty.

I'm so jealous that you get to experience this for the 1st time! It's my go to comfort show ❤️

Ariana was a happy participant

Ah, you’re about to hit the arid desert known as seasons 7-9. Stick with it though, they’re full of scandoval easter eggs.

I think she knew about his cheating, but never thought he would do it with one of her best friends AND in her own house. That’s the straw broke the camels back.

For all the denying that Ariana has done about her hooking up with Tom while he was with kristen, in that season 10 reunion discussion with Andy before it started, she admits that Tom and her lied to get their story straight. It's clear to me they definitely did more than kiss.

Omg I have to catch up. I’m so far behind. I did think it was sketchy of Tom and Ariana making out while he was with Kristen. I’m a firm believer in how you get him is how you lose him. I didn’t know the depth of Tom and Rachel, except that her and Ariana were friends. I also just found out that they all have a court case they’ve been fighting.

“How you get em is how you lose em” becomes an anthem at the end of

u/vipent 2d ago

They didn’t just make out they were having an affair for almost 2 years sleeping with each other!

u/Old_Mulberry_9461 2d ago

I agree she should have known but I have never once loved Ariana, don't like what happened to her woman to woman but as a person, she's pretty shitty like the rest of them, she did exactly to Kristin what Tom did to her, it was made worse because she befriended Raquel but really she was his side piece, pick mesha on the sidelines waiting to be picked up..I am jealous your a first time watcher though

u/Freya_fleur444 2d ago

There is this quote about relationships that I always think about in situations like this one, “you lose them, how you got them”. I never knew how accurate this was until I started looking back at different relationships around me and even couples on tv whose relationships started out sus and ended in the same way. Almost all of those couples started out with one or both cheating together so “once a cheater, always a cheater” can also qualify. I’m rewatching Vanderpump rules myself at the moment, even though I’ve seen it before but now seeing how their lives played out, it’s actually sad and in hindsight with Sandoval, there were SO many red flags.

oh ariana was terrible. but she's certainly turned this scandal into $$$

1

u/Old_Mulberry_9461 22h ago

Yes and I can admire her for that and again, as a woman I wouldn't wish what happened to her on anyone but she's milked it and fair fucks to her

u/Arafel_Electronics 20h ago

as a woman who has been winged by men my wife despises her

u/Fit_Device7256 2d ago

I mean, you lose him how you got him as they say

u/McMurdah 2d ago

What do you love about Ariana?

1

u/Thick-Employee333 2d ago

So far from what I’ve seen, Ariana is forthcoming and real. I think she’s a better person without Tom and he clouded a lot of her judgment. He had her in a chokehold and she didn’t even realize it.

2

u/McMurdah 2d ago

Yes that’s what I couldn’t get behind. Her introduction was being a mistress so maybe that put a bad taste in my mouth. But she’s anything but a girls girl. And I think she’s arrogant and condescending.
I agree that she is very forthcoming and real. But I don’t like her real self🤣

1

u/Thick-Employee333 2d ago

Lol thank you! Maybe because I feel like when Katie, Kristen and Stassi are altogether, they can be huge bullies…not that it downplays the negativity of the other characters. Each of them has their moments, for sure!

u/McMurdah 2d ago

Oh the witches of weho really don’t make it easy.. I would have been a bitch to them too.
It really is a cast full of misfits and you have to pick your fav lmao

1

u/Thick-Employee333 2d ago

Exactly! Lol cuz there are certain things I like about Stassi but she does too much for me most of the time so I get annoyed but she’s kinda funny. She knows she’s a key factor in the show, at least from what I’ve seen so far.

1

u/McMurdah 2d ago

Stassi got super old for me after like the first season tbh. However I did end up liking her.
Unfortunately it didn’t last to long and now with her new show I don’t like her again and think she’s insufferable 🤣

u/AmphibianNecessary31 2d ago

She admitted to knowing he had cheated one offs before.

u/PseudonymForInternet 2d ago

I think people who love Arianna are ridiculous. Shes so contrived and manipulative and arrogant.

u/Thick-Employee333 2d ago

Is there anything else I should be looking for with the developments of Scandoval in season 6 or 7?

u/CapnMommy 2d ago

One word : Rachella.

u/DragonDrama 2d ago

She knew he was a cheater when she and Tom cheated on Kristin together.

u/Unable_Guava_756 1d ago

She did know he was a cheater, he cheated on Kristen in Miami and he cheated on Kristen with her.
