Who is up for another Vanderpump Rules recap? They didn’t give us much of a preview but it looks like this episode has some people breaking up and others making up. We will have more crazy, desperate Scheana, a kinder, gentler Lala, and Adriana sucking up to LVP. Let’s all get on the struggle bus and get this underway!
We start with Brittany doing a sexy photo shoot as a wedding present to Jax. Le sigh. Brittany and Lala fill Stassi in on ….. Kristen and Carter. These people seem obsessed. Lala wants to try and make up with James Kennedy. New kid, Brett, is “training LVP” in her backyard. That’s odd. She barely ever let the old one in her house. They chat about Scheana’s…. um THIRST.
Fatal Attraction
Back at SUR, Scheana has discovered that Dayna is sleeping with Max. AKA “her leftovers.” If people can’t date people Scheana has shacked up with, there will be a huge dating drought in Weho. Scheana is supposed to be training Dayna, Brett and another new girl, Charlie. She has Dayna polish every single class in SUR. Because, petty. Dayna tries to smooth things over with Scheana but Scheana is still a bitch to her.

Lala goes to the studio to listen to her little brother record. In walks James Kennedy. Lala throws everyone out so she can talk to James one on one. She tries to explain that she believes in him. But he is hard to be around when he is such an asshole to everyone. We get a montage of his worst behavior. The both decide to let it go and be friends again. I wonder how long this will last.
Ariana and Scheana go out with a new assistant manager of SUR, Danica. She is suspended from SUR for physically attacking her bartender boyfriend. These three make fun of Dayna. Across town Max and Dayna talk about Scheana. Max has a very different idea about his relationship with Scheana than Scheana does. Ariana plans to kiss the LVP ring so she can pick up a few shifts behind the bar to keep busy. Then we get a Vanderpump Dogs commercial. LVP is really pushing for face time this week.
With Friends Like This…
The Tom Tom scenes remind me of Seinfield, the show about nothing. Then Brittany and Jax got to pick up their rings. And talk about Kristen and Carter! This is so ridiculous. But not as ridiculous as Scheana. She just can’t let up on Dayna.

To her credit Dayna just sort of rolls with it and knows that Scheana sees her as a threat. After Scheana asks Brett to knock her up, Brett gives Scheana a long, rambling talk where he foots her in the friendzone. Scheana tells the cameras that she doesn’t believe him. She is really and truly clueless in her own little world.
Ariana Arrives At Sur To Kiss The Ring
LVP of course strings Ariana along about coming back to bartend. Of course, LVP needs more asskissing. LVP doesn’t seem to remember trashing Ariana’s husband. That was of course just “British humor.” Ariana opens up talking about her depression. She says that even getting her dream house, and getting a book published didn’t make her happy. She thinks she needs medication. I’m right there with you, girl. Come sit next to me on the struggle bus.

Did I miss the memo about why Dayna is going on stage? Please don’t let it be cabaret in a Jovani dress. Max tells Lala and Adriana that Scheana seems upset that he is seeing Dayna. Oh. Dayna does stand-up. Don’t quit your day job, girl. Dead mom jokes are not funny. But the gang seemed to enjoy the show.
Hey! Let’s All Kick Kristen When She Is Down Again!
Jax and Katie at least do come over to help Kristen pack. She claims Carter is not moving in with her. No one believes me. Not even me. But it has nothing to do with me. Or Jax. Jax is going to disinvite Carter from the Miami trip. Wow. This episode is almost over. It went by fast. I kept waiting for there to be something that was interesting to write about. It didn’t happen.

Jax is going off on a rant about Carter not working and Kristen is paying for everything. Carter came in at that point and Jax pulls him aside. He says that he thinks it would be good for both of them not to see each other for a month. Jax is not exactly someone that needs to be giving our relationship advice. Carter says that they doing better. Does she LOOK better?
Jax tells Carter that Kristen doesn’t want him to come to Miami. THAT WAS ALL JAX’S DOING. Carter says that is fine. Something tells me he will show up anyway. Before he leaves again, Carter and Kristen hug. Kristen cries.
Next week, there are at least some new fights. And Brandi Glanville asks LVP to read racey passages from one of her books. I’ll update the Carter situation in comments.
No, Ariana, no!!! She is doing exactly what Stassi had to do to stay on the show. I could never kiss ass like that- good thing I am happy being poor!
wow – smart observation – that’s right!
It’s like Carter maybe abused Kristen and they leaving that part out or something. I suspect if it did happen it’s being left out at the request of Kristen. It’s embarrassing to the abused and they always try to protect the abuser they love. Abusers always blame the victims and we have seen Kristen be violent herself. Maybe he’s not one to refrain that situation. She is having such a hard time letting go and her friends are having a hard time supporting her if she continues the relationship. I’ve been close to a similar situations and I see so many of the same red flags.
That thought has definitely crossed my mind as well…
I don’t think Carter is an abuser. I’ve known quite of few of those in my time. I think he is just a loser like a guy I knew in college who was hot as fuck and basically lived in his car. I didn’t mind letting him sleep over, shower, do laundry here and there. But I didn’t move him in and pay all his bills.
I think Carter just has other women. Especially now that he has the show. I am sure girls slide into his DMs all the time.
If I was able to flash back to my 20s and have that body back, I would totally go a few rounds with Brett. He’s hot.
I have to ask; so clueless about technology today…I’ve seen that phrase, ‘slide into his/her DMs’…what does that mean and how does it happen?
DM = direct message. It’s sending someone a private message. You slide in simply by sending one. Of course, if the person reads it it’s helpful. Then you start back and forth, and they’ve “slid in”.
Merci!
I just watched this. I liked this show the first couple of seasons, but it’s just run it’s course for me. I can’t stand LVP anymore either. I loved her the first few seasons on RHOBH. I just cringed tonight watching Ariana kids ass and the BS Lisa fed her just seemed like same shit different day. Lisa is never in the wrong. She can insult & throw shade more than any Bravolebrity ever, but she never owns her shit. She did talk about and to the Toms like they were complete dumbasses last season. Ariana was justified in her feelings about it. They do contribute to the business in their own way & wanted to be more hands on but LVP kept spanking their hands, wouldn’t let them be present at the business til it opened. I’ve seen a lot of celebs on WWHL that are huge fans of the Vanderpump cast….Chrissy Teigen & John Legend and Jerry O’Connell & his wife to name a few. Lisa knew the Toms’ value when she proposed the business venture. No, they do not have her money or experience, but her getting on tv and talking to & about them as she did was a bitch move.
I think the hair and make-up people just have it in for some of these women. We all know Katie needs to get a proper bra and a dress to go with it, but her hair in the talking heads tonight??? WT ever-loving F? She looked like cousin It!
Lala, when she first joined the cast, was absolutely gorgeous in a more natural kind of way. Brown hair, tasteful make-up, just very pretty. Now she has money and looks more like Kim Z-B every week. I don’t think she’s gone so far as to have surgery but her bleach blonde hair and over contouring and the liner and the pale lip is just awful on her.
Kristen is hanging on to Carter for storyline. Period. I really hope she isn’t actually paying for his car, who does that? Bad enough he doesn’t pay rent.
Dayna was better than I thought she’d be at stand-up. Both new guys are interchangeable and neither are good looking to me. The only thing I know about either of them is they hook up for one night stands a lot… that’s it.
Lala is almost complete in fully morphing into a Kardashian. She, Khloe, Kim B/Z, Brielle, etc. They all freaking look alike and they all are 5 years apart. It is bizarre. Not natural at all.
Not so much about this episode but the show and LVP in general. I live in the neighborhood surrounding all of LVP’s spots. Walk my dog by SUR almost daily. It is a ghost town. Recently the curtains in front are drawn 24/7 so no one can see that no one is there.
The only cast member I have ever seen actually working there is Peter…of course. I was also around the night they shut down to shoot galleries. Probably the most people those walls have seen all year.
It is completely weird (but a total blessing) that no one was injured in the crash at PUMP last week. Sunday brunch in this area is a thing and there are tons of packed establishments in the area, on the same block.
No wonder Ken is looking for press.
I find it shocking that the restaurants or taking such a big hit so soon. Being off RHOBH is going to be a problem for her. But I find it strange that they don’t ever film at PUMP. Why do you think that is?
I have a feeling filming at Pump might be a logistical nightmare because it is pretty cramped. The outdoor area is beautiful (in the back, not the tiny patio where the car mysteriously hit no one), but there are too many tables and olive trees, and the inside area is really small.
The inside is also really cut up into little areas with strange angles. The bathroom location is in the center of everything. So awkward. Pump is beautiful but not the right size for film.
Yup, exactly!
Interesting!
I would think SUR would get a fair amount of tourist traffic, from people around the country who have watched VPR and want to see SUR when they are in LA–even if it doesn’t get much local traffic.
I think you’re overestimating the popularity of Vanderpump Rules
Isn’t it one of the most watched shows on the network?
Not really most of the housewives shows do better. Their ratings have been falling for several seasons and Below Deck has been rising.
I just cringe for Scheana. She looks so desperate for any guy, and she seemed so petty and jealous in regard to Dayna.
Everyone just needs to butt out of Kristen and Carter’s relationship.
The book that LVP is supposed to read next week is Brandi Glanville’s? What did I miss TT, they are friends again?
I thought it was a passage from Stassi’s book. Oddly I could see the vulgar language coming from either of their books.
This show is so fake they all are playing caricatures of themselves at this point. And the season so far as just been filler for the New show when Vanderpump Tom Tom becomes a show with newer working staff and 2-3 OG staff. And we maybe get a Vanderpump Rules with just the OG and their more real lives.
This is just my own conjecture ~mostly.
No it’s not Brandy’s it’s Stassi’s basic bitch book
Can we talk about the gross statements I didn’t need to hear from Dayna? Something about feeling more naked than when she’s naked in front of that guy, more naked than when he “enters” her. OMG overshare much?
And poor Scheana she really is one dimensional, too bad she missed her trophy wife moment in her early 20’s.
“Too bad she missed her trophy wife moment” 😂😂 That statement is so true and so funny!
Knowing what it’s like to get divorced at age 33/34, my heart tugs for Scheana. You are at the age where you are supposed to be having kids and your maternal instincts kick in and feel generally “behind” in life. She’s still super pretty and appealing to younger guys, and starved for love and attention. It’s a vulnerable place to be in that I still remember with pain so I am cutting her some slack. I did some pretty facepalm things the first few years after my divorce, where I was married to a guy like her ex, who basically deceived me about who he was. I was so lucky to meet a wonderful man and get remarried at age 38:) I hope she takes some time to grow and find out who she is. Of course i don’t know much and maybe it’s wishful thinking but I have a feeling deep down there is someone with more substance in there.
Glad your life turned into a love story. ❤️ I agree, that’s what Scheana wants, too.
Scheana’s gotta have the most muscular eyelids in WeHo. They were getting in a killer workout last night lifting her 25 lb. false eyelashes.
I’m assuming they’re false eyelashes. If they’re real, then Latisse should sign her as brand ambassador.
Also, if LVP wants to avoid more lawsuits against her restaurants, she might wanna avoid having employees be filmed harassing each other in the workplace:
Peter with the new employee (“You don’t have a boyfriend??”)
Scheana with Brett
Scheana with Dayna
I know it’s all set up by production, but it doesn’t portray LVP, Inc. in a positive light.
I thought the same thing, Harlan. In this #MeToo era? LVP seems like she’s risking a lot.
Lisa has favoritisms and it sickens me how obvious it is and if you do not kiss her ass she will make sure you pay for it. she is basically acting like these “kids” yuk skeletor.
I found it interesting that LVP doesn’t dare use her “British humor” when it comes to Lala. Randall allows she & Ken to fly on the rented private jet(ie. Jax’s wedding, etc…) & LVP doesn’t want to lose that. She’s so transparent.
I, like most of the castmates, have aged out of this stupid show. Another one bites the dust.
I was watching Home and Family this morning where LVP was on for some reason. She mentioned that fans to the Vandercrawl to visit her restaurants, not sure why really.
I’ve enjoyed the slow start this year. I’m just always bothered by thirsty Sheana. She’s pretty, loyal, but why does she let them put her in this realm of being the town bicycle, you know everyone gets a ride. Shes in her 30s going after these boys, why! I just wish she would stop looking so desperate. I did like the crack she made about her wedding dress. At least she sees the humor in that tacky thing!
The gang up on Kristin crap is TOO MUCH! We don’t need to know her, just watch her, to know that breakups are difficult and complicated for her. Tom, the obsession; James, more obsession and vitriol; and Carter. Who else is she supposed to talk to about the tangled love life but her “friends.” Now that they are all settled in, they don’t remember what it was like. She just wants to find love like everyone else. Big crime?
She won a piece of my heart when she told Andy that, like the couples, she bought a house too. A 1939 house she is fixing up. Yay! My dream too. I hope her next love is a good one.
Heartily agree. Kristen has been thru the ringer on this show & the only one strong enough to put Vanderpump in her place & call her out on her vile behavior & constant belittling her staff. Kristen deserves a good man & a happily ever after. Unlike Schenna. Just kidding I like her but the boy crazy act is getting a bit long in the tooth.
Why isn’t Ken in the opening picture of the entire cast? Is he not a part of the show this season?
Hmmm has he ever been?
He’s usually right behind Lisa or somewhere in the background (last season).
I think Kristin just really has a hard time admitting she’s made a mistake, and she hangs on in there way longer than she should because she doesn’t want to face reality. It was over with Sandoval for months before they broke up. She always knew James was a mistake. And now Carter, who she thought might finally be the one, is turning out to really not be.
Side note – nobody noticed that Ariana reshot part of that scene with LVP? She had longer hair for most of the second half of the scene. Like inches longer and even a different style.
