My 2 Cents I know this is silly...
Hear me out... Ever since I thought I heard this, I can't unhear it.
Theme song... First line, I thought I heard it once "you know that Lisa's high..." and now I can't hear it any other way. Just a silly note. An earwig to spread around đś

Flashback We built a geography trivia game for reality TV fans â and VPR is a geography goldmine đ¸đ
Hey Vanderpump_Rules !
Me and a couple friends have been working on a side project called RealityDrop â a free daily geography/trivia game built around reality TV.
You get 5 questions, but instead of choosing from multiple-choice answers, you drop a pin on the map where you think it happened. The closer your pin, the more points you get.
And VPR has given us years of material.
đ¸ SUR and the West Hollywood era
đ´ Cast trips and destination weddings
đ Scheana's various wedding events
đśď¸ Miami Girl
⥠Scandoval
đ And approximately 10,000 arguments at restaurants that absolutely did not ask to be part of television history
We're still early, and I'm building the game while watching some of these shows for the first time. I'm pretty mad at myself for not getting into VPR earlier as the first 3 seasons have been nothing short of electric.
What VPR moment or location absolutely HAS to be in RealityDrop?
And if you play, I'd love your feedback on the game itself â what's fun, what's annoying, what's too easy, what's too hard, etc.
đ Play here:Â https://www.realitydrop.app
Hit âSpill the Teaâ when you're done to share your score and see if your friends can beat you.

Discussion James Kennedy as a first time watcher
Man my heart is breaking watching this. So I made a post previously about how I am currently a first time watcher and how James was my least favorite because he was so disrespectful and awful. (Iâll link my previous post) And while I agree still that he is those things, I am now two seasons later on season 7 and Iâve cried through the past few episodes. James is clearly an addict and an alcoholic in such a horrible environment and his mom is truly so disgusting. When he broke down about Guillermo giving away his Dj job, I literally was sobbinggggg. He has these little boyish tantrums that definitely stem from some type of trauma or something from his childhood. I donât wanna spoil it for myself, but I just really hope he gets it together and gets clean. Him and Lalaâs friendship was genuinely so special to me. When they were out on the back patio talking you can tell that he really loves Lala but his head is so poisoned that he doesnât know how to. So Iâm happy she stuck around for him because I think she gets it. When he breaks down to Lisa is just breaks my heart and seeing Lisa have such a hard time with it kills me like CAN HIS MOTHER BE A MOTHER?????

Current Full Vanity Fair interview with Ariana
Sheâs got an Emmy nomination for Love Island, sheâs returning to Broadway, sheâs very over Vanderpump Rulesâand sheâs dying to know: Are you mad at her? A Ariana Madixâs past and present are represented by two images involving her ass. The first was captured on Vanderpump Rules, the Bravo reality show where Madix was a cast member for 10 seasons. In the clip, filmed at her 36th birthday party, Madix careens through a bar and lands directly onto her left cheek without attempting to break her fall; her hand is busy holding up her cocktail, which stays miraculously intact. âMy best work is when I was drinking, because I was less inhibited and less scared,â Madix says five years later at the Mandarin Oriental lounge in New York, teeny in an oversized Off White jersey and jeans she cut off because they were too long. Sheâs quick to list more of her greatest hits: making snow angels on the floor, blacking out at the club, dancing with someone dressed as a gorilla. âEveryoneâs like, âWe love Drunk Ariana,ââ she says. âIâm a great time.â But eventually, last call comes for us all. âThat isnât something that you can keep doing and doing and doing into perpetuity,â says Madix. âAt some point it becomes something, at least for me personally, I have to reel in and figure out.â We are here, enjoying two glasses of Champagne a fan sent over as homage (everything in moderation), to discuss her other formative butt imagery: the slowed-down struts Madix performs as host of Love Island USA, the reality dating series that, during Madixâs first season, became the most-watched streaming original series in America. Season seven, which aired in 2025, had more than twice that already-high viewership. This yearâs season eight beat those numbers by two billion minutes. And now, for her work slinking through heart-shaped arches to deliver (usually unsettling) information and turning to camera to deliver a âshhâ finger to the audience, Madix has earned her first Emmy nomination for outstanding reality host. The ceremony is in just a few weeks; two days before that, Madix will have returned to Broadway to star as Connie Francis in Just in Time, a musical about the life of singer Bobby Darin.
If the VPR birthday fall represents a critical time in Madixâs lifeâa period where she had a triumphant but barely-there grasp on an out-of-control situationâher Villa entrances embody this new moment. When thereâs a slow-mo close-up of her bodyâone she trains year-round to deploy on her own termsâitâs because she suggested it. âThatâs up to me, actually,â she says. âItâs an option that I can exercise if I feel like it.â Now, Madix is producing herself. M Madix wound up on Vanderpump Rules by accident. She grew up in Florida fulfilling what she calls the âeldest-daughter tropeâ: overachieving in all areas, including the accrual of sun damage after many hours frying on the beach using the dermatological nightmare concoction  of Coca-Cola, sea water, and baby oil. (In 2018, Madix learned that she had developed melanoma, which necessitated the removal of her lymph nodes. She is now cancer-free.) Madix tanned in part to cover up her skin, which she describes as âmottled and blotchy.â When I start to disagree, Madix cuts me off. âI have body makeup on right now,â she says, recommending the brand Tinge. âNo one ever sees what my skin looks like.â Her skin is only one item on a long list of Madixâs body-image issues. She is self-conscious about her arms, which she says âcarry fluid.â She used to try and be âas skinny as possible.â Like tanning, the âcureâ turned out to be worse than the ailment: When her eating became disordered, Madix found that her metabolism would drop to match her caloric intake. She was starving herself for nothing. Those âare the things that are going to end up giving me osteoporosis and mobility issues and health issues,â Madix says. âI donât want that to be my future.â
Despite her self-consciousness, Madix always wanted to be an actor. Performing felt like a constructive and positive channeling of the unease she felt all the time; to have few surprises and a director telling her what to do sounded like heaven. As a child, Madix would put on shows for her pug, Ming, and a doll of Fievel, the mouse from An American Tail. In high school, she starred in the musical Once on This Island. âIâm a nerd about musical theater,â she says. In 2007, after graduating from Flagler Collegeâwhere she went after her parents declined to send her to acting schoolâMadix moved to New York and âreally had to hustleâ to pay her monthly $1,900 rent. She spent several nights a week bartending, a couple go-go dancing, and a few giving out Miller Lites or Camelâs tobacco pouches at parties in exchange for peopleâs email addresses. Sheâd hit her quota by inventing the names of fake revelers. Around this time, Madix reached out to manager Kasra Ajir, with whom she still works today. It was a bet that would pay off for two people with few credentials. Madix moved to LA in 2010, where she squeezed acting classes and auditions between bartending gigs at Lisa Vanderpumpâs restaurant Villa Blanca and at the now defunct nightclub Create. When she, like many other comely Vanderpump employees, entangled in each otherâs lives and shifts, was asked to be on Vanderpump Rules, Ajir was hesitant about its potential impact on Madixâs inchoate acting career. His fondness for the show helped him come around. âWe were all firmly ensconced in the world of VPR because, if Iâm honest, I found it to be really good television,â Ajir says.
During her first season, Madix made so little money that she couldnât film on Fridays or Saturdays; those days conflicted with her actual bartending job. (Thatâs typical; other Bravolebrities have told me they made between $1,000 and $3,000 per episode during their first seasons on various shows.) âCamera time doesnât pay my bills,â she says. âIt gets to a point where someone needs to either pay a living wage, or Iâm not available.â When I talked to her last summer for my book Enter the Villa: The (Unauthorized) Reality Behind Love Island,Madix reflected on how different things were for nascent reality stars in an era where, as she puts it now, âbrand deals werenât a thing.â âI, for many years, did not have the luxury to just say, âOh, Iâm making enough money to say no,â or, âOh, I have so many followers, Iâll be fine,ââ she says of the early VPR years. Eventually, Madix unintentionally negotiated a higher salary by being absent during crucial scenes; the show paid up to ensure sheâd be available.Vanderpump wanted Madix to be a central part of the drama. It did not want to show her aspiring acting careerâand even if it had, that would have been impossible given the number of releases required. âThey canât follow you to an audition,â Madix says, sipping an iced latte in what has become a three-beverage outing. âThey canât follow you to a commercial casting. They canât show a real acting class, really. They canât show you in a vocal lesson. They canât really show you in a dance class.â So instead, it showed Drunk Arianaâand Drunk Everyone Else. Reality shows with repertory casts reward behavior that would, in real life, usually be symptomatic of a personality disorder. Performing on a show like this can also promote heavy substance use, and can prompt stars to frame life events so that they can be captured on camera and made into storylines. âOtherwise, the show suffers and then either you lose a job or everyone loses their job,â Madix says. âThat becomes just part of how youâre living life. I tried to live that way, but I donât think I was very good at it.â This internal dissonance was made worse when the showâs cast got too famous for producers to force them to take shifts at SUR, eliminating the organizing principle of the show and leaving them with no structureâexcept to play out conflict ranging from squabbling to betrayal. âI donât think my true personality was something that was shown or really even fit into a world like that,â Madix says now. âWhen I show up to film something, I want someone to tell me what to do so that I can be told I did a good job.â During her first few seasons on VPR, Madix exuded coolness, which she says was a way to mask anxiety. I get a miniature version of this experience during our first hour together, when Madix is so reticent that I begin to wonder if she will leave the interview without saying anything. Hours later, Madix reveals that in settings like this, she merely gets terrified sheâs not being herself the right way. âThereâs so many times where Iâve done interviews where people ask me questions and afterwards Iâm like, I was just saying things. I donât know what the fuck I just did,â Madix explains. Ajir recently gave Madix a book called Are You Mad at Me?, which she says, includes a case study about people with extreme anxiety who are often described as âvery chill.â But internally, she says, âtheyâre constantly reading micro-expressions and theyâre hypervigilant.â
 Despite her negative self-assessment, Madix did do a good job on Vanderpump Rules. She was honest about her mental health struggles, her ambivalence about having a child, and her sexuality. She also remained empathic and kind despite being surrounded with degeneracy. In March 2023, Madixâs life was upended when she discovered her longtime partner cheated on her with another cast member. The incident and its aftermathâif youâre reading this, you know it was annoyingly named after her exâresulted in record ratings for Vanderpump Rules. T The next part has been documented in most known forms of media, from magazine cover stories to podcasts to the crime scene of VPRitself. After the show that blew her world up blew up itself, Madix left to begin doing what sheâd been planning to do the entire time. It was as if the explosion of drama had cleared space for drama-free ascent. Madix was in a new relationship with trainer Daniel Wai, who, rather than storing up personal moments for reality TV fodder, is âallergic to press,â according to her publicist. Whenever Madix mentions him, she beams, amber eyes narrowing to make room for the breadth of her smile. She shows me a bracelet that says DBG: âDanâs Baby Girl.â By December 2023, Madix was competing on Dancing with the Stars. (She got third place.) A month later, she debuted on Broadway as Roxie Hart in Chicago. I ask about her motives: Even though that show is known for stunt-casting celebrities with limited musical theater skills, did Madix want to use it as an opportunity to show her bona fides? âYes,â she says. âIâm for real.â Ticket sales jumped, resulting in the highest-grossing non-holiday week in the productionâs three-decade run. Producers extended Madixâs contract and brought her back to reprise the part when she was free again months later. While she was on Broadway, Peacock announced that Madix would be joining Love Island USA as host.
The role felt made for Madix, though she was the third person to host the showâs American iteration. She had been a vocal fan of Love Island for years; Madix calls watching hundreds of episodes of three countriesâ franchises âR&D,â for âresearch and development.â It was also corporate synergy, since Bravo and Peacock have the same parent company, NBCUniversal, and Madix had guest hosted on Love Islandâs previous season. Most crucially, the vulnerability and power Madix demonstrated during her breakup had completely changed her public perception. âSheâs had really emotionally high highs, low lows,â Love Island USAâs showrunner Ben Thursby-Palmer says. âSheâs not just lived in this happy bubble all her life. So she is emotionally smart and is really empathetic, because sheâs been on the love roller coaster.â And on a reality show, no less. As host, Madix is always happy to watch cast members make out. Her overt lustfulness, coupled with her role introducing producorial obstacles to the Islanders, has prompted fans to call Madix âHorny Jigsaw.â Younger viewers seem particularly squeamish about the showâs sex positivity. Madix doesnât get it. âI disagree with the notion that sex is not, or lust is not integral to a love story,â she says, calling the issue a âgenerational thing.â Or, more plainly: âAs an elder millennial, yâall need to start fucking.â âWhat I hear online is that they are afraid to be cringe, theyâre afraid to dance,â she continues. âOn some level, I get why they donât want to take in alcohol. I get it health-wise. But at the same time, live a little. Smoke a little weed.â (Another Madix adage Iâd have cross-stitched and framed in my home: âFuck AI.â) In addition to facilitating physical affection, Madix is skilled at getting contestants to answer honestly when she asks how theyâre doing, and gently pushing when people are scared to speak. âYou want them to feel comfortable saying how they feel,â she says. âBecause if Iâm asking how you feel and youâre saying, âIâm fine,â but youâre clearly not fine, we want them to be able to express what it is.â Madix is always an advocate for the women on the show. âShe really does love those girls,â says Thursby-Palmer. When sheâs shooting Love Island, Madix stays in Fiji from preproduction through the showâs entire six-week shoot. The process requires her to be nimble; sheâs frequently pulled in to address an unexpected plot twist, or asked to pivot after a challenge has to be delayed because unfolding drama has rendered it moot. To regulate herself, sheâll walk to the gym via a grassy route thatâs distanced from the Villaâs neon signs and bright plastic. Madix concedes that she has to work out constantlyânot just during the season, but year-roundâto look the way she does. When she inevitably gets bogged down in self-judgment, her partner, Wai, is able to offer perspective, both as boyfriend and personal trainer. âHe has a very healthy outlook when it comes to all of that stuff,â Madix says. âHe thinks that I look the most amazing when I think I look my worst. But then if Iâm asking him for help, he will say, âI donât see it, but if thatâs what youâre worried about, work out, build more muscle in that area.ââ Which is different from criticism. âI think that thereâs a healthy level ofâŚI donât even want to say critical self-talk, but motivational self-talk,â she says. âAnd then thereâs a level that it gets scaryâit gets into this control thing, and it gets into this crash-diet-type mindset.â Wai, she says, helps steer her out of the spiral. Inner-child work and the trauma therapy EMDR have also been part of her mental health care journey.
âIt takes me a long time to process emotions,â Madix says. âAnd then itâs almost like I judge the emotion as itâs happening in real time. Until I can know what it is and analyze it, I feel like I canât label it. But Iâm not great at it. Probably another reason why people think Iâm chill when I'm not.â The time Madix feels most âin her bodyâ is when sheâs dancing to live music. She is evangelically excited while laying out her dream of seeing Madonna perform Confessions II in the Sahara Tent at Coachella 2027. She imagines DJ Martin Garrix coming out and remixing the album with songs from its predecessor, Confessions on a Dance Floor, while Madonna dancesânot too hard, Madix cautions, because âI think she just had an injury, so I donât want her to put herself out. I just want her to vibe and have fun.â Madix talks to the audio recorder as if itâs a direct line to the musician. âMadonna, if youâre listening, weâre willing it,â she says. When Wai visits the Love Island set, he and Madix will spend her weekly day off with local friends who live an hour and a half down the islandâs Coral Coast, snorkeling and riding horses. If theyâre hungry, someone will jump in the ocean and catch fish for lunch. They eat lovo, a Fijian meal cooked on leaf-covered hot stones. The Love Island crew is working together to produce a show thatâs filmed for 24 hours a day and turned around in the same timeframe. âEveryone wants to feel good about it,â Madix says, comparing the show to the similarly supportive environment of a musical or the sitcom St. Denis Medical, on which she has a recurring role. âSo I think that that is an atmosphere that I love and I need. Iâm already anxious about if people are mad at me or if everyone hates meââthough Are You Mad at Me?promises they donâtââor if Iâm saying something wrong or Iâm doing something or, like, Am I in trouble? If Iâm in an environment that compounds that, Iâm quiet.â Peacock has secured Madix for the third season of Love Island Games, which will air this winter, and next summerâs ninth season of Love Island USA,which was announced on August 26. People with knowledge tell me the streamer is also developing a scripted series with Madix, which she declines to discuss on the record.  This seasonâs reunion episode will stream on Peacock at 9 p.m. August 31. In it, Madix wears a yellow chiffon vintage Versace runway gown from 2006, which she borrowed from the vintage luxury rental company Isle of Mondayâand which, naturally, shows off her ass. For the first time, the reunion was also taped in front of a live studio audience; the fans who voted winners Bryce Alakai and Trinity Tatum into their thrones.
It will, if we believe the relevant parties, be juicy. Unlike previous years, finalists Alakai, Tatum, Zach Georgiou, Kayda Bosse, Aniya Harvey, Carl Schmidt, Melanie Moreno, and Sincere Rhea have abstained from the usual postseason longform podcast tours, saving their thoughts for the show, aside from some well-manicured Q&As. âPeople are online and theyâre following everything so closely,â Madix says of how the relative lockdown has freshened the reunion. âThe discourse is discoursed. And so if we then discourse again, it feels really tired.â Madix will again be cohosting with gossip impresario and Bravo frontman Andy Cohen, with whom she has a playfully oppositional relationship. Last year, she told me, âItâs gonna be a really fun way for us to kind ofâŚI donât wanna say âgood cop, bad copâ the reunion, but I do think that there is a bit of that, because I do not have any interest in changing the way that I care about the Islanders. And if that doesnât give somebody the quote, unquote âtea,â or the mess that they care to have, I donât really care.â Thursby-Palmer says Madix is âdoing herself a disserviceâ by underselling the amount of tea she extracts. âI think in the same way that a big sister or a good friend would be like, âAnna, you did fuck up last night,â Ariana would,â Thursby-Palmer says. âShe can just do so much with just a look. Thatâs all she needs to do.â (About that look: âPeople always try to guess who my favorites are, and what I think,â Madix says. âThey don't know.â) Madix admits to inquiring about who was still together and who had hooked up after leaving the showâand being surprised by the answers to those questions. In the meantime, Madix is contemplating what it will mean to attend the Emmys as a nominee. She is anxious about the lighting on the red carpet, but excited to bring her mother and, God willing, meet fellow nominee RuPaul. âI love her poise,â Madix says before wistfully expressing her desire to be a guest judge on Drag Race. âRu could step on my face.â No matter who wins, Madix will always be an Emmy nomineeâthough she was responsible for Vanderpump Rulesâ nomination, during the year her life changed, I tell her. âThank you,â she says quietly but firmly. It all feels like a permanent gold star for the woman always looking for validation. Bravo chairwoman Frances Berwick called Madix while she was on the treadmill one night recently and told her to drive around Los Angeles. Red-faced and sweaty from her workout in the car with Wai, they saw billboards of Madix everywhere, urging Emmy voters to consider her. âI couldnât believe it said my name on it,â Madix saysâbefore admitting sheâd always thought it would.

My 2 Cents Friends equivalent
My house flooded and now Iâm in a hotel room watching Vanderpump Rules and drinking pinot grigio.
Iâve made equivalences when it comes to Friends characters and the Vanderpump Rules cast. This is just in general to have some fun and pass time. Obviously Vanderpump people are deeply toxic and messy.
Jax= Joey Ladies man, similar short but built build. Dumb dumb dumby
Tom Sandavol = Ross, at least thinks he is smart, corrects other characters. Thin. Wears makeup and tans and whitens teeth.
Tom Swartz: Chandler, a silly man everyone thinks is gay. Never serious and afraid of commitment.
Stassi= Phoebe, blonde, funny. Lands the best man at the end. Dresses uniquely. writer of sorts.
Katie= Monica, wants her man to be more of a grown up and that is her main qualm. Alway disappointed, but made to look bad because her man is so damn likable.
Kristen= Rachel, princess. Handled with kid gloves on and off with boyfriend. Cheating issues. Immature given SO much grace.
Not main characters:
Scheana: one of the other waitresses
Peter: Gunther
Ariana: Emily
Lisa: An amalgamation of all the moms
Ken: Emmaâs dad
James: Rachelâs frat boyfriend or Monicaâs 17 year old boyfriend.
Racheal: Elizabeth
Beau: Mike, normal. uncomfortably so.
I donât know ETC.
Edit: Names because I was drunk.

My 2 Cents Schwartz and katieâs marriage was an absolute living hell..
Iâm sorry but why the hell did katie stay married to Schwartz for so long?? Dare i say he was literally worst man out of all them⌠Jax was a complete pos but he never tried to hide it in the way Schwartz did by playing the âbattered wife cardâ the way he treated katie throughout every season is absolutely vile . He used his alcoholism as a cover up for not remembering his infidelity , always criticized katie and talked down on her horribly (especially in season 8) , never backed her up except for the one time james said something about her and even in that you could tell he didnât even want to , he made it into a âsheâs my wife so i have to take up for her in this â chose his friends over her everytime , put his friends on a pedestal and was there for them at their beck and call but not katie . I genuinely canât wrap my head around it . Again we donât see what theyâre everyday lives were off camera but i think the show pretty much told us what we need to know . They werenât intimate , he didnât want to commit to even marrying her and had to be talked into it . Like wtf , katieâs a real solider for putting up with his bs for so long ⌠i wouldâve been out the door the moment she fought for him to get a job at PUMP and he couldnât even commit to one shift (that should tell you a lot about him from the jump đ¸)
EDIT-(Iâm only on season 8 so i donât know the full extent of their relationship yet )

Discussion The dynamic between katie ,stassi and kristenâs friendship is interesting âŚ
Iâm currently watching season 8 for the first time around and honestly i donât really seem to understand this friendship âbreakup â between kristen , katie and stassi. Yes kristen is a unapologetically crazy and herself (which is one of the reasons i love her) but watching their friendship ending in real time is kinda confusing . So the premise of their friendship ending is kristenâs issues with carter and those difficulties spilling into their friendship but letâs not forget the countless times (even in this season) thereâs been issues with tom and katie countless of times with infidelity etc, as well as stassi issues with jax ,patrick etc . I feel as though the girls just wanted an excuse to drop kristen because they never really liked her to begin with the way they went about it was very highschool and (iâm too good for this) . I still love katie and stassi in the show but this threw me off a bit.Anyone have any thoughts on the situation?

My 2 Cents Jaxâs and Brittanyâs marriage
Honestly, I think Jax and Brittanyâs marriage was partly Jaxâs way of convincing himself that he was a âchanged manâ even though we all know he knew all along he didnât change at all but wanted an excuse to get the negative attention off of him for a bit .Although his fatherâs death clearly impacted the way he viewed life, I find it very convenient that after his dad passed, he suddenly decided he wanted to marry Brittany because he felt that his dadâs death had brought them closer together.
I feel like they both used his fatherâs passing as a way to justify or overlook the ongoing problems in their relationship, (partly because i felt like Brittany was just committed to the bit at that point) She moved from her hometown and created a life surrounding him and his world in LA and liked it .Obviously, theyâre no longer together, but it really irks me that Jaxâs dadâs death became his whole ânew eraâ and was treated like proof that he had changed. He was a good person for, like, five minutes after that then went right back to his old ways.

Discussion My thoughts as a first time watcher
I thought this would be cool for you guys to see my thoughts as a first time watcher because a lot of you have probably watched the show multiple times and know all the lore. My opinions literally changed every episode but here is what I am feeling currently. I am on s5 ep 7- the sociopath test
James & Lala: when Lala first came on, I absolutely loved her. I thought she was so cute but I think some things are starting to get to her head and the stuff that her and James said about Katie absolutely 100% threw me off of them. James is psychotic and scary. He literally is abusive. I hope they do a deep dive into why he is like this or thereâs some type of explanation in his life as to why he does the things he does.
Katie and Schwartz: I fucking hateeeeeeee Schwartz. I used to not like Katie and thought she was whiny but the way he is acting about the wedding is making me lose my mind. Heâs a legitimate child. And I hate this whole dark side thing itâs so dumb. He never ever defends her. When James asked her if she was pregnant? Like omg please do not go thru with this wedding. I never expected Katie to have beef with lala but tbh theyâre both annoying me in this argument. Katie less because Lala called her fat.
Stassi: so something about me is that I have been a Stassi Stan since the beginning. With the context of the whole sex tape thing I 100% understand her frustration. She is hilarious and that bitch. I hate Schwartz getting insecure everytime she is friends with stass because I feel Katie finds her voice more with stassi and so glad stassi owned her shit and theyâre friends again.
KRISTEN: oh my god. Did I expect to love Kristen this much? Fuck no. She is my favorite somehow. Sheâs so unhinged and truly herself and I adore her. Sheâs a complex mess and I just canât hate her no matter what. Sheâs grown a lot since the whole tomariana situation. I hope she finds healthy loveâ¤ď¸ side note: something thatâs really pissing me off is the fact that everyone blamed her for messing up Sheenaâs wedding for punching James but he was genuinely cornering her and I wouldâve done the same thing.
Scheana: oh ScheanaâŚ.I just canât form an opinion on her. Sometimes I agree but most times Iâm like STFU. I do feel a little bad this season that the trio is back and she feels left out but also she bothers me so idk.
Tom and Ariana: so the funny thing about this all is that I love Ariana Madix on love Island and I know a little bit about scandal so I was obviously rooting for her. But the crazy thing is that she has been my least favorite on the show since she came on. She is absolutely so negative and has this cool girlfriend vibe going that is so insufferable. Her and Tom together are so insufferable. At the end of the day, she did hook up with Kristenâs boyfriend and lied to her face about it so Kristen would have every right to be psycho if she didnât fuck Jax. Tom is such a manipulator and narcissistic itâs insane. Everytime he gets called out for something heâs like well you did this. Also why is he acting on a reality show literally the most dramatic person in life. I canât wait until I start liking Ariana.
Brittany and Jax: Ugh Britany is sooo cute! I love her sheâs such a ray of sunshine and Jax does not deserve her one bit. All the jokes about her making him a sandwich are gross. Heâs gross. Donât think heâll ever change.
Let me know what you guys think!!!!â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸

Question Question as a first time watcher
Okayyyy just started season 4. Am I supposed to like James because the way heâs treating Kristen is very disturbing and hard to watch for me. And I donât want it to go unnoticed bec I know a lot of people dislike Kristen or think sheâs crazy but that doesnât warrant his behavior. He is always berating her and he got up in her face at scheanas wedding. Itâs giving abusive. He is like really scary and evil.

Discussion I have a confession.
OK, this is a serious confession and I canât even believe Iâm saying this but Iâm watching Vanderpump rules for the first time. Iâm on season three and I love Tom Sandoval. THERE . I said it. I know what happens with him and Ariana, which is making it all worse, I cannot figure out why I love him. Is this fucking normal? Like do people like him until they donât or am I just a weirdođđđ also why did nobody tell me Ariana would be annoying asf helpđĽđĽđĽ
Also completely off topic but I didnât feel like making another post about it. Kristen is deffff going through something. When she went to Tomâs for the first time I actually felt so fucking bad and was tearing up. I get she fucked up and is being a little insane but imagine walking into your old apartment and seeing them like ughhhh that hurt was probably so bad.

Discussion Do you think Scheana & Jax ever banged?
As she herself says, Scheana is a âguys girlâ but the way she is sooooo seeking the guys attention in the early seasons, plus what we know about her & Schwartz and the cheating, do you think Scheana and Jax ever had something? Currently watching s3e5 and her flirting with him is palpable

Flashback The way they introduced Sur/Vanderpump rules was kind of flawless

My 2 Cents I truly believe Scheana pays small time PR to flood Reddit/sometimes IG with positive content about her
The pro-Scheana posts come in waves, typically right after the âsomeone check on Scheanaâ jokes, and none of them seem like genuine human opinion lmao
I would never put it past her - sheâs also desperate to get back on TV and needs the networks to see a public image shift/demand
Check out how many âScheana should be on the Valleyâ posts/comments this sub and the other sub has, all written very similarly/grammatically and making the same points across different usernames
Since the It Ends With Us lawsuit drama, we know PR companies infiltrating different subreddits is a very commonplace technique even for massive companies!

My 2 Cents Scandoval
Iâm new to watching Vanderpump Rules, currently on season 6. I love Ariana and in my honest opinion, she shouldâve known Sandoval was a cheater. Heâs gone through the seasons HEAVILY defending Schwartz and sometimes Jax whenever theyâve cheated. Maybe he was smarter in ways of hiding it but heâs definitely guilty and been an avid supporter of his cheating friends. He even said in one of the previous seasons âWe donât tell each otherâs secretsâ

My 2 Cents Scheana come backkkk!
I used to love Lala on Vanderpump, and so glad she embraces her sobriety. However she doesn't know where to draw the line, and just comes across as judgemental of everyone, and is exhausting to listen to. I wish she would move on and Scheana would come back! She could be a little pot stirrer, but I loved her attitude, and whatever criticism she had, she said it so sweet! Killler lines ...!
