There sure are a lot of fires at SUR. If I recall correctly, Villa Rica used to have the same issues. Weird.
Oh and hi! It’s me Tamara filling in for Lady C who is frolicking on a beach somewhere without me. I already had to pause to find out if this “Dan” a manager at Villa Blanca was the manager that was found liable in the Bustillos Sexual Harassment case. It appears that it is not the same guy. Because SUR is closed the cast is now forced to fake work at Villa Blanca temporarily. Lisa will be supervising the restoration of SUR while the kids are away.
The entire crew is going to Big Bear to stay at Rob’s cabin there. Katie is still pissed at Stassi for storming out of her party and sticking her with a $1,500 bar bill. Stassi shows up to Kristen’s apartment where Kristen. Brittany and Katie are blinging out their scooters and bikes. Stassi fake cries and fake apologizes. She also writes Katie a check for $700. What about the other $800?
Rob’s cabin on Big Bear Lake is a really cute three bedroom house. The third bedroom has two twin beds so Jax has already said he and Britanny will be staying at a hotel. Has he never heard of pushing the beds together? Scheana describes the house and says this is more how she envisioned her life rather than her life with Shay. She utters the title line while talking about how great her life is with Rob, which also is tattooed on her forearm, “It’s all happening!”
Actually, they end up giving Jax the big bed and Ariana and Tom take the twins and actually do push them together. Tom bought a survival knife on the way there and has already nearly killed himself with it. Sandoval, Jax and James go to the liquor store. I do not think they bought nearly enough beer. Two 18 packs and a 12 pack? They must have bought quite a bit of liquor since the tab was nearly $300. I still predict they will run out.
Back at the house, Scheana goes on and on about all the manly stuff Rob does. No one cares. La La tells Raquel that she needs to make sure her man doesn’t say another derogatory thing about her man because she is nearing her breaking point with James. When talks to James, he seems to be unwilling to be kind about her man.
The witches of Weho were not invited to Big Bear. So Stassi asks Katie to go with her to see a psychic. The psychic tells Stassi she will have a baby in 2019. That is so not going to happen. She also tells her that her current relationship is not worth the trouble.
Sidenote: I feel lot of pressure to do a recap at least half as good as Lady C’s and I am not accomplishing that. So I would like to point out I may be dying. Among many symptoms I have some sort of weird skin rash happening. I’m having a new odd symptom every day, when one thing goes away something new happens.
Scheana is playing Susie Homemaker by making tacos for everyone. James is already drunk and obnoxious. James says that the Toms have started a new business and Jax is being left behind at SUR. Then Scheana says Jax is technically old enough to be Raquel’s dad. James is flirting with La La while Raquel just sits there watching it all. At least it is a girl this week.
The situation with drunk James begins to escalate. Jax and Sandoval hibernate in a bedroom to escape him. Jax says that the weird psychic yoga lady told him to remove himself from situations that make him angry or anxious so he tells us that is why he fled to Sandoval’s bedroom for alone time. Jax keeps talking about his age and how he can’t party like he used to and recover. Sandoval is worried that Jax is feeling left behind. Jax thinks he might be a bartender forever.
Scheana and Rob go to bed. James continues to antagonize everyone. The couples go to bed and James and La La continue to argue. Loudly. James goes outside and Raquel tries to calm James down. She also points out that if she was rolling around on a couch with a guy friend in front of him he would not tolerate it.
James and La La try to work it out but things get very loud and escalated again. Meanwhile Jax is telling Brittany he is in a very fragile state and can’t take all the screaming.
This episode did not have enough Kristen. And I apologize for it being so boring. I miss Lady C. I think I am doing next week’s Vanderpump Rules as well. I will try not to work myself so hard next Monday so I won’t be so damn exhausted.
I thought Brittany was shown taking a pregnancy test — did I dream that up
I saw it in the preview
TT: Villa Rica LOL
Crap did I leave a Villa Rica in? There is a town in Atlanta called Villa Rica and I type it every single time. It was very annoying when I was covering the lawsuite there..
Villa Rica LOL
Your recap was AWESOME. You made me laugh out loud when mentioning the skin rash and villa rica. Loved!!
Didnt mean to do that twice
Jax is almost 40? Wow, he does need to get his act together
Bartender for life! Good he also gets a Bravo paycheck to pay for the botox.
Scheana’s delusion makes me shudder when she speaks about Rob and their life together. Even though I can’t stand her, it is painful to watch. It was funny how she kept playing the mom role for the weekend — making dinner, yelling at the kids to pipe down because dad has to work tomorrow. Didn’t that always happen when you went to a sleepover? What happened to her in life that she is so self-focused. Her mom seemed normal enough. Did her parents split during a critical time in her development?
I loved Brittney pulling the covers over her head while Jax was whining. No more sympathy for Jax’s fake problems. How will he manipulate her now?
And James just needs to NEVER drink. EVER. I guess the ice cream & sobriety are long gone.
On a more shallow note, I loved LaLa’s bathing suit and everyone’s sunglasses.
Hope you feel better, Tamara! Thank you for getting the recap up so quickly.
Scheana’s mom Erica seems sweet but seems to live through her daughters (I think the younger one is just an Instagram girl) in a weird Hollywoody way and any fame is good fame. She seems to think Scheana and her youngest daughter are stars.
I thought Scheana’s mom seemed like a “cool mom”. And that’s not a compliment.
I thought the same about the alcohol! As they were discussing it I though there’s no way that’s enough! Lol
She timed Rob when he installed a TV ? With a a timer? Did he know he Was being timed? Is there a record? Why is this relevant to mention Scheana ?
It’s next level bizzaro.
I predict it fell off the wall.
Spit out my coffee. That was funny.
Scheana, Jax & James are all delusional fuqwits! I think Stassi knows deeps down Patrick isn’t the one and just can’t let go. We now know she has a new boyfriend so maybe he will be her baby daddy. If I was Raquel, I’d be so grossed out by James alcoholism and blowing smoke in her face and up her ass. He is disgusting and not a good person. He and Jax need serious help and not from quack Reiki Master Kelsey. Real Reiki Masters dont glory with, touch or therapies clients.
So sorry you’re dying, Tamara! But you did make me laugh, so there’s that.
Why oh why does Raquel stay with James?!! Look at the photo – he looks like a rabid velociraptor – nothing even slightly attractive about him. He’s not manly, he’s a big-mouthed drunk, and even sober he’s nothing. If he didn’t have the English accent, what would he have? Not saying all English accents are a plus, but his is not a bad one.
Great recap, Tamara. You did an awesome job, despite your impending doom. Hope your rash has gone and you’re feeling much better. I know what you mean about one thing after another though – one day my giblets are falling out, the next day my neck is killing me, and the next one I’ve diagnosed myself with a hiatal hernia – , or I possibly ate too much Taco Bell. The jury’s out on that one. Hang in there.
rabid velociraptor!!!!!! I die lol
I think Rachel secretly wants to be a LVP cast member and thought by dating James she could achieve that. Well at least she has her pic in the opening credits and has some airtime even though she is not a full time cast member. I think she might be to dull though and LVP does not seem to like he all that much.
This whole episode made me anxious — Sheana’s behavior (delusional gushing and playing house), and all the drunken arguing was just too much. I don’t know why Lala keeps engaging with James, unless it is part of the script. James seems like he is unredeemable with his drinking and terrible conduct. Raquel must be desperate for screen time to stick around with him.
Jax is probably anxious because he sees no way to a real adult future. Is he fired by Lisa? I know the current “news” has Brittany saying they are great together, but I don’t see how that can last either.
At least we didn’t have drunken Schwartz as well.
I thought Jax and Peter bought a restaurant a few years ago. I guess he’s not allowed to showcase it on VR or it tanked already.
Please don’t die TT.
The thought of James’ tirade echoing across the lake in the middle of the night had me cringing. IRL neighbors are pissed.
Thanks TT – I hope you’re doing better today!
Sheana is cringeworthy embarrassing.
It’s hard to watch Sheana and Rob. He’d obviously rather be anywhere else but with Scheana.
Hi Tamara………I’m sorry to hear about your new symptoms and wondering if the cause might be the mold problem you mentioned two or three weeks ago. From personal experience I can tell you that exposure to mold can cause a whole raft of unpleasant symptoms, rashes being one of them. You might want to check into that as a possible cause. Good luck funny lady!
“Whatever happened to your friend Tamara?”
“The rash took her.”
😂😂😂
Don’t make me come down there. You get really mouthy when you are not properly chained to the radiator. Don’t get used to this freedom.
Ahhhhh ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!
Thanks for stopping in, Lady C!
I don’t hate Scheana, but I hate that she says things like this is the life I envisioned. It just means she thought so little of Shay. She always knew she wanted a rich guy from the beginning and should have not ever married Shay
Well, at least Shay is free now. He seemed reasonably happy, when they were boyfriend and girlfriend, but not as the wedding got closer, and just miserable when married. I think he was her starter marriage, and she wanted to gloat she bagged a husband. A bigger acomplishment these days. I thought Shay was really cute and nice. I think he will be fine, and much better off without Sheanna. She said that shit to hurt him, hopefully he ain’t even listening. Remember he ran away from her. He he.
Yeah Shay is still out there making shitty music but he looks content hanging out in clubs with his friends. Needs many more years of maturing and probably some therapy after being married to Scheana.
What is the name of the motor cycles bikes the girls are bringing out on Vanderpump rules
The only perfidious rash I’ve heard of lately was associated with some mood stabilizer my shrink was considering. If you have changed ANY meds lately, talk to your Dr, please??
I tend to moan about illnesses or weird things and am very used to no one listening to me. I forget about it as soon as it goes away.
Today my hands got really itchy like they were being eaten by fireants and I had to take my rings off AGAIN because they swelled up,
Also I was coughing for not reason of a couple of hours. Y’ALL ARE NOT GOING ALONG WITH THE WHOLE I MUST BE CRAZY OR A HYPOCHONDRIAC THEORY.
Shit just keeps happening and then going away. THen other weird shit happens.I don’t have health insurance and don’t want a preexisting condition before I can leave the country and move somewhere I can afford health care. I’m also trying not to die before Banjo so that can happen. And hoping I am just being very dramatic.
Ooooou how I wished they’d have shaded the shit out of Scheana and played back her saying “ITS ALL HAPPENING!!!” From a couple seasons ago. I think it was when she got that dumb ass tattoo or Shay asked her to marry him. Either way, she just wants someone to fill a place in the fairytale she’s created in her little pea brain.
