On this episode of Vanderpump Rules, we finally get some intel on the rumors about “Jax” that have been swirling since the very first episode of this series. Since the show began I’ve gotten emails from gay men informing me that Jax used to be a male escort and had a sugar daddy who took care of him in Miami. Though interesting, I didn’t have any real details that could be verified. I did have a few pictures sent to me that are sadly not on this laptop. I was also told that he left Miami “in disgrace” and moved to Los Angeles where he changed his name to “Jax Taylor.” I can’t wait to see what happens tonight when it appears from previews that the sugar daddy comes on the show!
We begin with everyone being hung over from the party the night before in Miami. Lots of people claiming the don’t remember. Including Vail who I suspect may have already gotten Jaxed. Ariana is very bothered by Kristen. This pleases me. Schwartz says he is having sex with Katie now. Stassi is blowing off Katie’s texts.
Stassi and her Sur minion have a scene that contribute nothing to the show. Basically, Stassi is butthurt everyone left her for Scheana’s party, especially Katie.
And there is the sugardaddy! This is the guy from the pictures. According to Sandoval John was a model scout “and kind of a man about town” during the two years Sandoval and Jax lived in Miami together. My sources said Jax actually lived with John. Perhaps Sandoval did too? Sandoval says “during the time that me and Jax lived in Miami together” not “during the time that me and Jax lived together in Miami.” To me there is a difference. The way he said it implies they were both living in the same town together, but not in the same dwelling. But that is relying on Sandoval understanding this subtle difference and I’m not sure of that. For the record they show pictures of Jax and Tom during their Miami days and BOTH of them scream “gay for pay” to me. John does call Jax, “Jax” which is interesting because that is not the name he knew him under according to my sources.
OH WAIT! Tom just confirmed it. Jax was Jason when he lived in Miami. He did live with John and drove his car and allowed John to “completely hook him up.” So now we have confirmation. Tom says “obviously” rumors got started. Tom has stayed in touch but he and Jax ” had a falling out.” This is all going down just like the rumors I’ve heard. This is so exciting! Lol. Sandoval invites John to dinner with the gang knowing that this will cause some friction between Jax and John.
The girls are terrible at making toilet paper wedding dresses. Sadly, I have way too much experience at this. Always the bridesmaid…. never the divorcée.
There is a stupid scene with Lisa and Stassi so they can get a check for the episode.
Ariana is clearly on her period. She is crying in the cab because Kristen stresses her out. After Ariana cries, Sandoval tells the story of Jax living with John and moving away and changing his name after the rumors of him being a kept boytoy got all over town. Jason/Jax says John started his career. They share a friendly hug with John arrives. Sidenote: Jax has a HUGE gash on his forehead from “walking into a glass door.” I’m dying to know the real story. The past two episodes the guys have been much more interesting than the girls. John still has a nude photo of Jax hanging in his living room. It’s really a great shot. He’s sitting in the root structure of a tree on a river with his naughty bits tastefully out of sight.
Later in Miami at yet another dinner, James is asked if his feelings are hurt that he is the only male at the table that Schwartz has not kissed. James stays he doesn’t kiss boys, and that seems to be an American thing. If by American he means gay, he is correct. Meanwhile, Tom is kissing Ariana A LOT all through dinner. I’m not against PDA, but rounding second base at dinner table with ten other people is a bit much. Especially if your psycho ex is sitting at the table. Kristen and James excuse themselves for a smoke. Katie stirs the pot.
The gang goes out to a club and Jax and John are drawn together. They could not be making things more obvious unless they stripped down on the dance floor. John hugs Jax and says “I love you because I am over you. and I still love you as much as I did in the first place. ” Jax replies ” Yeah but, I’m a bigger person now. I was so young then and was just thrown into it right off the bat.” Jax says when he started modeling it was a gay industry. He was from middle America where there were no gay men (lol) and he got thrown into this world that he was not prepared for. John says, “Jason, I’m sorry, I really am.” Jax says, “Don’t be sorry dude. You made my life. If I had never met you, none of this would have ever happened. You a started it for me and that is awesome. I love you for that.” (more passionate hugging) Jax says all of the rumors are just rumors. So why did he change his name then?
Sandoval approaches Kristen and asks her to go talk outside. Kristen immediately starts the tears. I believe they are genuine. Crazy, but real. So um, real crazy. Kristen tells Sandoval she despises Kristen because he left her for Ariana. Now it is Toms turn to cry. They are both crying. I believe this scene because I’ve had it. Numerous times with the same person. Tom says he is going to be really cool with James and wants her to try to do the same with Arianna. Kristen clearly still wants to be with Sandoval. Tom thinks he gave Kristen the closure she needs. But Kristen sees the talk as proof that she can still break up Tom and Ariana. Oh Kristen you crazy girl. Ariana is the least of your problems. Those two will break up as soon as the show is cancelled if not before. What you should have been paying attention to tonight is that Sandoval was likely gay for pay in Miami as well. You need to find a nice straight man who like the crazy.
All in all the trip went well by reality show standards. And we got to meet the infamous sugar daddy.
Next Week: Vail and Peter have an attraction and Lisa is not pleased. And Kristen has decided to have the girl who Sandoval cheated on Ariana with in Miami make an appearance to facilitate the breakup of his relationship with Ariana. Oh this will backfire on my crazy girl. Bad idea Kristen. Very bad. And Stassi and Katie appear to break up for good.
Last night’s episode was the first where Ariana seemed like an actual person. I also believe Kristen’s tears were real. She is so in love with Sandoval and James really should run the other way. I believe this is a case where his age really is a factor. He and Kristen have fun together but with more hindsight he’ll realize that he’s a convenient placeholder and she’s not over Sandoval no matter how crazy good their sex life is. Finally, looking forward to the breakup of Katie & Stassi. Stassi is the worst kind of friend. You’re either her friend or her mortal enemy if you’re friendly with someone she doesn’t like and that is not genuine friendship. She’s the ultimate mean girl. Katie’s characterization this season has been nice to watch. She seems like a nice and normal person (by reality tv standards) when she’s away from Stassi’s clutches and honestly she’s way better off without her. Fingers crossed that Stassi doesn’t return next season, she adds nothing to the show. The only real thing in that scene between Lisa and Stassi was how much Stassi obviously misses her Sur life. It’s funny how she acts so above it all! She’s like that girl who keeps going back to her high school because it was the best time of her life.
Agree, with the exception of James , I believe he is fully aware of Kristen’s craziness……. I think he helps stir the up the crazy in Kristen as that equals camera time for him.
I am not a James fan but I felt bad for him while she was salivating and crying over Tom, it’s so clear she would dump James in a second if she thought Tom might take her back. That has to be tough to watch for James.
When his girlfriend dressed up, with her boobs hanging out, to go get some damn mail, that should have been a clue. He’s getting air time to showcase his music, so that helps to accept being culkolded. .
I feel sorry for James too, if he actually has feelings for Kristen. Poor Kristen isnt getting any better yet. I wish her and James would make out and kiss and focus on eachother instead of caring about Arianna and Tom displays. I think at some point Kristen will need to leave up, any resentment she has, in how Arianna came to be with Tom, and how she disrespected her , up to karma. Trust me karma is a bitch , and can wreak more havoc on people who have wronged you than anything that you can do.
I’m straight with Hokie Chick. She’s got the motivating factor on this show figured out.
It probably was the best time in her life, and she wants to relive it.
OMG have not read yet but been waiting all day for your post … I know it will be good plenty to write about especially with your favorite crazy girl Kristen
We can time Ariana’s airtime to 28 days from now- when she will show emotion again. She’s a robot- and a haughty one. Ariana is better suited to Katie’s Tom since those two function as beards anyway.
Huh? Arianna is doing her beard role just fine. Why switch guys??? And take away Kristen’s reason for crazy?
Maybe Arianna should start acting nuts? Oh, wait, that would defeat the purpose of showing that Tom escaped Kristen for someone opposite–super chill , pretends her boyfriend isn’t gay, and collects her paychecks.
Arianna’s demeanor is perfect. But she is extra pompous. (iE her Bravo blog where she explained the fine art of debate to us peons cuz she took a psychology class when she attended college) etc etc
It’s impossible to like Stassi .
And she’s so irrelevant!
(And kinda looks like a rhinoceros.)
A drum majorette in a parade of one that no one turned out to watch.
I love crazy Kristen!!!
I’m sorry but all I have for this recap is : Bwhahahahahahahaha! I’m sorry you amuse me to no end . I’d like to know what shamed him out of Miami .
James may be young but he’s not stupid! This show is great exposure for his musical talent. He’ll eventually cheat on Kristen and send her head on it’s final spin into the stratosphere. This relationship cannot end well.
I think it would be very hard for Kristen to go through another break up now. But its probably inevitable , due to her sorrow and pining for what she had with Tom. James can get someone who is into just him , and thats what will happen if she doesnt stop it. Fake it till you make it , would be my advise to Kristen. Talk to the therapist and maybe a trusted friend, but otherwise, dont speak or focus on the trama anymore, in front of people.
Why is my comment awaiting moderation?
I know I’m showing my age here, but I feel like Vanderpump Rules is a drugged out, STD swapping version of Sweet Valley High…without the twins….Ooooohhhhh….Bravo should totally higher some twins…one for Sur and one for Pump, but NONE for Jax!
Oh I LOVED Sweet Valley High! Don’t drag it down to Vanderpump Rules level! (Please!)
Even my husband who despises these shows, looked up from his book to say that chic is pure evil, And that Tom needed to get a restraining order ASAP. Walked out of the den laughing yelling run Tom run far and fast crazy is coming for you.
Im not sure that they have grounds for a restraining order as of yet. She hasnt made any threats of bodily harm or tried to break in their house. So what would they say, my ex girlfriend is having trouble moving on and is annoying. Tom has allways agreed to Kristen coming over and theres no law against her saying she doesnt care for Arianna. Anyway, if someone is really out to get you its a piece of paper. So far Kristen has done nothing illegal that I can see. Arianna haa enjoyed pissing her off and now has an enemy. Deal with it.
I wonder who will play Tom and Kristen in the Lifetime movie?
To me everything about sugar daddy John’s demeanor, body language, & dialogue exchange with Jax/Jason & their history proved to me without a doubt that he at least sucked Jax’s dick… a lot.
I think “john” is the top and Jax was his pretty little kept twink who did most of the sucking.

Either way it appears they liked to play hide the salami.
I agree! There was something between those 2.
Jax calls John Poppa Bear does that make Jax a cub?
In Jax/Jason’s younger years when he was in Miami he was a TWINK. Nowadays Jax/Jason would be considered a MUSCLE QUEEN.
Is John a much older man but nice looking? The pic I saw when the show first came on were Jax sitting with an older guy who had his arm around him and it might have been on a gay site.
I found a photo that looks like the old one but the guy is a Vincent DePaul, not this John, lol.and the guy spoke to Radar saying the same things as this John said, how weird.
I don’t think John’s name is John.

I don’t want to be on the end of a tongue lashing from Tamera but how I wish for a ban on complaining about comments being in moderation .
hysterically this comment was moderated. And I agree. Along with the people who email and tweet me to let me know their comment is in moderation. Happens all day long.
I think Ariana’s meltdown in the cab was from exhaustion, stress and way too much partying. She’s the kind of friend I’d like to have on my side. I hope Tom and Scheana know how lucky they are to have her in their lives. And . . . . for the first time, I liked Jax. The reunion with John was so thoughtful and loving. Who cares if he has a past (lol . . . and a present). Jax graciously embraced his friend and thanked him. No lies, no excuses . . . . maybe he is learning how much freedom comes with truth.
First episode this season I have watched in full. Kristin’s crazy is difficult to watch! The girl is downright delusional. I specifically heard Tom say “i hope you find someone who makes you happy” and he doesn’t mean you girlfriend
I kind of wonder how old Jason was when he came to Miami. Was he a minor? Anyone know?
I think they mentioned in another episode that Jax is 35ish… So he would have been in his 20’s and not a minor.
He was at least 18 because because Sheana said he lost his virginity at 18. 🙂

Been waiting on this recap….what a delicious episode of crazy.
Oooo lawd kristen’s than a kardashian stuck in coach. And Sandoval was very gentle with her, which was sweet, if doomed to fail. And I liked Jax tonight also. Good episode, except for Stassi. If she doesn’t grow up, she could wind up one of those people who’s so controlling they prefer to be alone than accept anyone as is. I hope that’s just a storyline.
Stassi is a mini Kate Gosselin with no kids.

I didn’t watch the episode but I did google a pic after reading this article and…doesn’t John look like the Chrisley daddy? lol I know it’s not him but the could be his doppelganger in that pic! I was confused for a second..which take much for me. lol
I don’t understand how Lisa V. didn’t go “owner crazy” on Stassi’s ass for all the alcohol she has been stealing. Who admits that to their boss? If I was Lisa I would have lost my SHIZZ with Stassi (& others) for risking her liquor permit status.
For Lisa’s sake I hope nobody from the California Alcoholic & Beverage Commission watches this show, especially since there is a secret stash of stolen bottles of wine that have not been reported as sold and no earned/reported tax? This is just irresponsible all levels.
Spoken like a true Wedding Coordinator. 🙂

I have no idea what this even means. But haha?
I liked Jax this episode as well and I agree, we all have a past. I think it’s funny that Vail thinks Jax being an attention whore is the reason a gay man has a naked pic of him hanging in his home…yea he’s a whore all right. Vail is very intelligent and the fact that she can’t add correctly when it comes to Jax leads me to agree with Tamara…she’s been Jaxed. I absolutely love Scheana. Why anyone in their right minds would wanna be friends with Stassi is so beyond me. Kristen = psycho. I hope she is able to let go and move on soon. Fix it Jesus!
Agree with all of the above. Vail oddly keeps making excuses for Jax’s behavior (past and present). But then she perfectly called the situation with Katie and Stassi when Katie confided in her at the party. So agree, she’s no fool.
I wouldn’t be a bit surprised to hear Kristen hurts/kills Ariana. She is scary obsessed and revengeful. I think what Tom did, having the touching talk, only egged her on and gave her hope. I wouldn’t want my man to be holding hands and hugging his nutso ex! I like Ariana and think she’s the most normal one on the show, and I fear for her safety. Schenna is a bad friend letting Kristen come, and eye roll her bestie into tears.
Agreed. I kind of feel bad for him.dee
I really want to see a normal gay or lesbian or vpr or any of the housewives shows. I feel like all they ever have on them are “queens” and that puts out a negative image when that is all you show.
“If by American he means gay, he is correct” made me laugh aloud.
The Tom/Kristen convo was amazing. She was so smug. She walked away from that conversation thinking they would have their happily ever after. She is straight delusional.
I felt for Ariana this episode. My anxiety is nuts to begin with, it would be off the charts if I “had” to be in such close quarters with someone wishing my death every 15 seconds.
And I’m sure Vail and Jax did it, they most likely have been. BUT I think she’s manipulating him. The tears and all that, phony. She’s Jaxing Jax.
That Miami girl is going to fleece Kristen for a plane ticket and money! She is certifiable!
