😁

I understand where you're coming from.
In her mind Ariana and Toms relationship was just like hers and James, like nothing deep. Because that's what Tom told her.

But I still don't understand how she didnt react;, cry, shout, scream, whatever, when they were going for her.
Sandavol couldn't deal with it, and kept doing that childish thing of repeating back what they were saying wuth a fake accent.

Just watching last bit
WHAT
THE
HECK
mind blown

I think its because she went into Pageant mode. From an early age she was used to being on a stage and having people look at her, judge her and talk about her. I suspect she went into a default setting where she was almost an out of body experience.

Either that OR, she listened to Lala/Scheana on their podcasts the day after where they talked about how she showed no emotion whatsoever and she's an evil genius.

Anyone else going to purchase Ariana's Fuck Me In This T Shirt?

I think everyone woman and man should purchase thus t shirt, just to prove that having sex in a t shirt is hot!

I really might! I looked before though and couldn't get the merch in the UK

I love the tshirt. I've just watched the video of Arianas brand deal with Duracell it's brilliant!

Seriously though Raquel has been utterly screwed over here. She though this was "love" meanwhile this middle aged prick was just looking for attention.

I really hope her family are supporting her. Don't get me wrong she deserved to get utterly flamed for what she's done but he will hang her out to dry now after that interview at the end

Ariana’s Duracell batteries Ad 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I like things long lasting and 12 years is so much better than 10 👏🏻

Agreed. I feel sorry for Raquel. She did the wrong thing, sure, and it was fair enough for Ariana to have a go at her, but otherwise I think she is a not terribly bright girl with very low self esteem (to me she seems vulnerable), grateful for any male attention and I hope she has people to take care of her.
Sandoval can get fucked, he has a pattern, is not "in love" with Raquel and has just used her for his midlife ego stroke. I think he is just surprised to have been caught (after cheating I suspect rather a lot and getting away with it).
l still think he encouraged her to break up with James and I hope someone interviews raquel about that soon.

Thank feck for tiktok.i think the timeline was expected. Them hooking up in Mexico and in her house during her GMs funeral was shocking to here admitted to.

Loved Ariana's Duracell advert, I hope she is making loads of money and has proper financial advice. Last thing we all need is a Teresa Guidice like tax evasion jail sentence.

The timeline of interviews of off. Rachel definitely wore that dress for her normal episode interviews. Were they all done afterwards?

I agree @Bleepbloopbluurp i do think deep down Raquel is extremely vulnerable. She doesn’t know who she is or what real love is. Sandoval had love bombed her and will drop her like a stone now that she’s told the truth. He’s never had her or Arianas interests at heart

The timeline of interviews of off. Rachel definitely wore that dress for her normal episode interviews. Were they all done afterwards?

Most interviews are done during filming. But Raquel did a runner after she shot that scene with Sandoval in her apartment where she kept misinterpreting what he said (very weird). So she hadn't done any confessionals for the last episode. They asked her to come and film an interview after the reunion, apparently so it could be slotted into that episode, which is why she wore her interview dress. But then she started spilling the beans. Not as many as I think she could have spilled but it is a start.

I can’t get over the fact that Sandoval was with Raquel for 9 years. His mum had a relationship with Ariana for nine years and she didn’t tell her own son not to stop this affair.

hey? Tom & Rachel have been having an affair for 9 years?

I don’t feel sympathy for Raquel or Tom what they did is disgusting and so low.
but Tom does not care for Raquel at all. He does not love her. He only loves himself.

he’s the true version of a manchild and not grown. Midlife crisis? The band and affair with his long term partners best friend. He was just stroking his ego.

the nails the clothes the new love of working out all point to a man who doesn’t want to admit he’s getting old and past it and should be settled down and loving a life that is enough for the two of them.

I really hope Arianas money is protected and she gets the share of the house that is hers. She seems like she is much more money savvy than Tom who has to pay people to be in his band and borrowed 1/4 million off of his mum to fund a bar that is leaking money left right and centre.

Tom Sandoval and Ariana were together for 9 years. So it stands to reason that Ariana would have had a relationship with her (to all intents and purposes) in laws for 9 years.

The fact that Tom was so brazen to introduce his mistress to his family and not one of them spoke to Ariana (who had essentially become a daughter-in-law/sister-in-law to them) absolutely blows my mind. Shes confirmed that even since the breakup she's not had any communication with anyone from Tom's family.

You would think one of his parents would have at least sent a text or something!

sorry, I was confused by the first line & thought for a minute it had been going on a lot longer.

It is awful but I know that if my DH did a Sandoval his mother would 100% not tell me either, sticking up for her little boy!

The producers confirmed that because Raquel left early they filmed a pick up interview. That's where this all came out.

People are talking about Raquel being groomed. I think Sandoval is a self serving. That description of inviting him into her room because she heard him drunk outside is nonsense. That did not ring true at all.

Raquel was supposed to share her room with "Jenny". She abandoned her at the airport out so she didn't have to share a room.

The most reaction Raquel had was when Ariana mocked Harry Potter.

There's backlash online now about the harsh words spoken by Ariana. But I think Tom and Raquel deserved all those words. It was 2 or 3 weeks after she just found out fgs

Some of Ariana's put downs were hilarious and the way she delivered them... she was so angry! (Rightly so)

meanwhile people calling her a bully and saying "everyone" cheats. How can they not see the difference?!

I said during the watch along that “fuck yourself with a fucking cheese grater” is the greatest insult I’ve ever heard

I think from the public POV things do need to move on now. But the reunion was filmed just weeks after she found out. I’m sure the reunion would be very different if it was filmed now.

even Lala has said that she regrets going so hard for Raquel and that she doesn’t think she’s mentally tough enough to cope with reality tv

I don't think Ariana was harsh at all.

I'm.normally all for wives/girlfriends not attacking the 'other woman' and should only blame thier bf/husband.

Like, in the case of Miami girl. If Ariana had attacked her in the same way, I would have said Ariana was out of line.

But in this case, Raquel is her friend, close friend, even her best friend. The worst betrayal was from Sandavol, but her friend also betrayed her.

I understand why some people think Raquel is vulnerable and Sandavol used her. But, I just can't get passed the fact that Raquel is 28 years old and Ariana was her friend.

Even if she believed all of Sandavols bullshit about how bad his relationship was with Ariana, I can't get passed the fact she welcomed Ariana friendship, loved that Ariana was defending her to Katie and LaLa. She wanted all of the benefits of a friendship with Ariana, but had no respect or loyalty to her.

@minou123 spot on. It’s the friend bit that kills it. LVP was right saying the convo about sex was the worst thing she’d witnessed on TV.

I do agree with Lala that Raquel is not cut out for reality TV. She’s got swept away and not understood that the consequences would be vast. Sandoval is gutted he lost the narrative - t shirt comment + ‘it was just one time’ has sunk him.

anyway are we starting a new thread on RHOC 🍊

@Mixedin Yes please to Rhoc thread. Tamra returning was totally overshadowed by the VPR drama . Let's hope she can save the show, as the last 3(?) Seasons have been awful

I’ve never seen RHOC! I do love RHOBH and Love is Blind and Selling Sunset

Oooh, a thread on RHOC, I like it.

I stopped watching when Tamea left, so I might restart watching now that's she's back.

I was the same when Bethanny left RHONY, I started rewatching when she came back but now I've turned it off now she's left again.

One thing I would recommend for everyone is to watch Real Housewives of DC (Washington). Im sure its on Hayu.
There was only 1 season, but my god, was it a season. If you haven't seen, seriously, watch it.
It shows what (some) people will do for money/power/fame.
