Vanderpump Rules affair!!

[PawsAndReflection]

I can't be the only Bravo fan on here can I? I have no one IRL to talk to about this!!

Yeah Lala is dining out on this a bit too much. She’s just too forceful with everything which seems to leave everyone a bit afraid of calling her out cos you’ll get a mouthful. I find her entertaining but wouldn’t want her as a friend.

OMG this episode was wild.

Sandavol was using Schwartz as a cover. He claimed he lied about Rachel staying over because people would jump to the wrong conclusion and think Schwartz and Rachel had slept together.

He knew he could use Schwartz and any suspicions he could say "no, not me, it's Schwartz". Dick.

I'm going against the grain and I'll freely admit I love LaLa.
Her line
Something don't smell right with this Raquel and Sandavol "friendship". I know better than anybody that when you have a dude who's your best friend, whos there during difficult times and then you add alcohol, you end up sitting on thier face

It cracked me up 😁
You have to admit, she has a great shit detector now - she can spot when things are not adding up.

I think what annoys me about lala’s podcast is the girl who does it with her. That girl is so far up Lala’a backside she’s almost coming out of her mouth!

I can't recall exactly where I read it, but Bravo confirmed the final episodes had been re-edited once news of Scandoval had broken.

Often, it's far easier to see the truth in hindsight. Once the production crew knew Tom had cheated with Raquel, they were able to cherry pick the relevant footage, because lets face it, if production has picked up on it, the news would have hit the press far sooner than it did.

I thought Andy had confirmed they hadn’t re-edited….

I’m so confused

Did anyone notice that Tom said raquel name first when giving Arianna the present in the evening of the glamping birthday get away? He quickly changed it to Arianna! Noone on the podcasts (esp. Danny ) noticed or mentioned it!!

Wow

this is telling from Andy

According to Cohen, the cameras chose not to pursue the story line because of Ariana‘s response.
“The funny thing is — if you think about it now — if you listen to what Ariana is saying she is not saying, ‘Tom would never do that,'” he noted. “Isn’t she mainly pointing to Raquel? She [kept saying] that Raquel is not that kind of girl and that we were barking up the wrong tree.”

I am sure Lala said on Sofia Franklin's podcast it was the first time they have had to go back after a reunion is taped and re-edit scenes coming up. It was right after Scandoval was leaked and before the exposing trailer

Oh. My. God

This week's episode is immense. The first half is a little bit boring, but my god the ending...all the things are happening.
I'm.not going to spoil anything but there's one small part that has me raging. Don't keep reading if you don't want to know.
.

For some unknown reason the bit that has me absolutely raging is the bit where Rachel tells Katie that she doesn't appreciate Katie trying to stop Tom from seeing the dogs. What the actual fuck???? Where does she get off telling Katie that. Plus hasn't she stopped James from seeing thier dog?

Out of all the things Rachel has said this episode, I'm not sure why this has wound me up the most.

I'm halfway through. They are literally just heading to Sur - I'll watch the rest tonight. Sounds intense!

You are just at the best bit. This is where it all goes off.

I'm trying not to say what happens, but so much worse stuff is said.

Get ready , you are going to be raging. 😁

OMG you're making me want to sack work off and go downstairs and watch it..

I'm my own boss so I could if I wanted to....🤔

Do it Do it. Do it 😁

Only joking. I'm being selfish cos I want you to watch it, so I can talk to someone about it.

It's something to reward yourself with later, for getting all your work done.

I'll log into MN later once everyone has watched it this evening

That was wild!

The audacity!

Wow. What the heck.

so this was the original finale and it totally reads like Raquel and Sandoval setting up the explanation that Ariana relationship was already over. Then he would dump her. Neatly going to the reunion and having not been able to help themselves blah blah.

Raquel’s convo with Ariana about her sex life with Sandoval has to be one of the darkest bits of reality tv ever.

@minou123 - agree re the dogs. Her brief seemed to be to wind Katie up and hv a starring role in the final ep. Bonkers the way she went to advise Katie & be all like ‘you’re divorced, I can get with him’ when Schwartz knew she was with Sandoval.

What an episode! I am so surprised Katie didn’t lamp Raquel one!

And Raquel asking Ariana about their sex life!!!! Just reminded me of on here of where the OW has been told by the guy that he and his wife never have sex. Lol.

You're right @Mixedin . I think Tom and Rachel were hoping that was the final episode.
Then at the reunion, they could deny any accusations of having an affair as there would have been no "proof".
Unfortunately for them, Ariana found the messages. Best laid plans and all that.

Oh, oh, oh, the other thing, besides the dog stuff, that enraged me was when Rachel said "You're just jealous" or something to Katie.

Toplagiarise@IsurviveonCoffeeandWinein2021 .....the absolute fucking audacity.

The more I think about it., the more rage filled I get.

Holy fuck. Like actually holy fuck

So many thoughts.

tom whistling in the corner by the plant while Raquel and Katie were going at it? Absolute comedy gold.

Lisa’s speech at the end almost felt like a closure to the entire series.

I love the relationship between Lisa and Ariana. She’s such a mother figure and always had been

but Raquel. Oh.my.god. To actually question Ariana about their sex life and to outright ask if Ariana still wanted to be with Tom???? And to buy the lightening necklace? Fucking hell!!!

to say to Katie about the dogs as well was out of order and why she couldn’t just leave when clearly she was upsetting Katie was insane

tom Sandoval is 100% the reason Katie and Schwartz got divorced. He’s always sticking the boot into Katie.

Same @thebellagio!!!
How Katie kept her shit together I don't know but I would have gone ballistic at the disrespect or Raquel

It’s interesting because they said that Raquel showed no empathy in the reunion and that was clearly the same with her interaction with Katie. There was no recognition that her actions were hurting Katie even though Katie had literally said it out loud a hundred times

I’m glad there’s going to be another series. It would have felt like a really poor ending if they had finished it where it is.

What will the next season bring?! Stassi? Jax? Kristin?

You know that girl who only films with Raquel, I can't remember her name?
She was in a couple of the previous seasons and if memory serves me, she doesn't eat pasta or whatever.

Anyway, does anyone know what her reaction has been to all this?
She seemed to give Raquel a bollocking over kissing Schwartz, so I need to see her reaction to sleeping with Sandavol.

I wonder if Lisa made that speech because she knew the restaurant was closing down.
