I was the same @kenyaswhiterefrigerator - could only watch one or two episodes. They are clearly desperate to bring in viewers, they've signed up Stassi to be involved in season 2.
The biggest problem for me is that despite Bravo being an entirely female-led network of shows (e.g. housewives) the production behind all of them is so mysoginistic. The last season of VPR confirmed that, the way they absolutely wanted to redeem Sandoval despite this being just two months after the affair was exposed.
Cheating is one thing. But Sandoval did it on another level.
- Cheating with his girlfriends close friend
- Sleeping with her in Ariana's bed while Ariana was at her grandmas funeral
- Dressing up as his mistress for Halloween - and getting Ariana to help him with the costume!
- Recording Rachel without her consent
IMO That's stuff thats unforgiveable and he deserved the backlash he got. He never once showed any sign of contrition or apology. I don't think there was any way past any of that.
