I am thrilled to report that this is the last regular episode of Vanderpump Rules! This has been a weird season for Pump Rules Recaps. I can’t even remember what the main story lines were for this season. I can’t believe this season has been airing since the first week of January. I feel like we have been waiting for it to start. The gang up on Kristen this season has been awful to watch. Jason turning back into Jax was expected. But it seems as though Jax has a drug problem. The new young set didn’t do anything particularly interesting. I think this should probably be the last season of this nonsense. The original cast has aged out and their replacements are boring.
We are ten minutes in and it is all still a rehashing the last episode. Also, Sandoval and Ariana are doing cosmetic procedures as yet another in scene promotional. Ariana’s vagina doesn’t seem shy anymore. And we saw all of her butt while she was getting some sort of cupping or weird massage. And more of the Kristen bashing. Brittany blames Tom Sandoval for Jax’s behavior. How does that work exactly?
New Scheana Meets Old Scheana
James had a very emotional scene with his mother who just had to have a double mastectomy due to breast cancer. They are both sober at the same time and it seems to really help their relationship.
Stassi and Beau are already shopping for houses. I do not understand why two people need a three thousand square foot house with five bedrooms and four baths. It is insane to me that they want to take home some much debt. They don’t have much time left where they will be getting the Bravo checks. Do they have plans for what they will do when the checks stop?

The Toms are putting their profits from the first year of Tom Tom into the expansion of Tom Tom. The Hollywood Reporter does a huge photo shop at Tom Tom that represents all of LVP’s businesses. The Scheana replacement, Kara, comes in from Vegas for the shoot. Is this the first time Scheana has met her? Max seems terribly uncomfortable having them both there together.
Jax Is High And Sweaty, AGAIN
Jax and Ariana have an uncomfortable conversation about how Jax treats people in general and Ariana and Sandoval specifically. We get a whole montage of sweaty fast talking Jax trashing Ariana over the years. What exactly has she done to Jax to make him so butthurt?

Max and Brett sit down to try and talk things out. Max feels like Dayna got with Brett just to piss him off. He’s so clueless. Jax apparently doesn’t own a SUR shirt and came in an inappropriate shirt for the shoot. Jax talks to LVP about his intense anger issues. She warns him that his behavior will damage his marriage and he’s only been married for four weeks!
Twin Toms
The Toms arrive to the party in matching suits. Kristen and Carter are back in an exclusive relationship so of course Stassi and Katie trash talk her for that. Stassi denies trash trash talking Ariana’s house. Even though she did it right on camera. Danica starts shit with the Scheana clone that causes a huge commotion in Tom Tom. And LVP and Ken are standing right there. This is not a good look. LVP sends Danica home.

James did a great job DJing the party. He also apologizes to Randall for all the horrible things he said about Randall in the past. Randall is very gracious and accepts the apology.
Dayna tries to close her story line with Max, but Max is just hugely in denial. So they argue. Brittany and Sandoval hug it out. Sandoval and Jax continue to argue. Jax says he is mentally handicapped. They eventually agree they need time apart. LVP then gets into it with Jax. Jax says this isn’t about his TV show, it about his lifelong friends. LVP was quick to correct Jax that this is her show. Stassi and Katie take one more opportunity to treat Kristen like shit. Then, the show ends rather abruptly. It’s a wrap!
What has Ariana done to Jax…why, see through his bullshit and not stand for it! Best scene of entire season, Ariana calling out Jax was perfection. Too bad he is not smart enough to understand.
Brittany is ride or die, unfortunately that is for Jax.
New Scheanas = zzzzzzzzzz
James and his mom most interesting thing of season, hope they both stay the course.
Max grew on me, where I think there might be something there if he wasn’t such any port in a storm guy.
Dayna and Brett are great side cast, but no newbies could carry this.
Agreed that Ariana just calls people on their BS. She also didn’t sleep with him so that is an issue.
I think LVP is trying to use both the Tom’s young credit history for her personal gain.
I hope she doesn’t have SS numbers on file. I never give mine out no matter what.
It was actually Lala who dissed Tom and Ariana’s house!
I was half-watching last week and heard the statement.
I too thought it was Stassi because all these girls are starting to sound exactly alike.
But they showed the clip tonight, and clearly it was Lala with the dis!
I hope that none one has given their SS to production or LVP or Ken.
I would believe a SS number is a requirement for work. And LVP is not the sole owner of these establishments – she and Ken have partners – she has said this many times – its not just their decision on things. VR keeps them in the news but its still a business with partners.
Yes, the production company and the company that owns SUR will have their SSNs. My ad agency has my SSN I think. They report my income to the IRS.
LA_in_KY – Thursday
Competition & Control
Some fathers compete with their sons while some mothers compete with their daughters. Kids/ Teenagers or adolescents are confident and yearn for independence.
Some parents cannot stand this ‘confidence’ of their kids and they sabotage their progress in life.
We have to remember that some animals, like snakes, eat their offspring as soon as they are born. Some parents have this ‘snake-sense’ and are extremely jealous of their kids. Some animals like octopus and spiders give their lives for their children. Spiders mothers allow their babies to eat their body. Octopus will care for her eggs and will die caring for it.
Some parents have ‘octopus’ like tendency while some have ‘snake’ like tendencies.
Why is your FIL so unhappy with his life is the question I would be asking him,
Thank you for that insight. I don’t understand him at all. My father passed away over 10 years ago, and I had a very different relationship with him where he at least respected me as an adult. I don’t feel comfortable going to his family functions because I don’t know what has been said about our private family business to extended family members. I don’t like that other people know if we are fighting if that information doesn’t come straight from my mouth. It is so embarrassing to me, to feel like our hardships have been gossip because that is my pain. That is shit I have cried over and it is private. We have a really good and strong relationship but, like any two people that have been together for a long time, we have fight sometimes. I don’t know where I am going with this post. I just don’t fit in with his family because they all married the same dude they went the prom with and live in same town and wear matching family t-shirts to their kids softball games.
He likes to swoop in and “save” and likes to tell other people about it. But I can save my own family. He tries to create problems when there are no problems.
So, you and your husband are normal and will make “old bones together” and be the ” Sweetest Things ”
Do me a crazy favour, just for the craic.
Can you put something that connects you and your “octopus” daddy under your pillow till Thursday morning, please.
Close your eyes and think what your “octopus” daddy would advise ADULT you to do in regard to emotionally draining “vampire snake child /FIL”, who is only swooping in to “save” what he has created in his own imagination.
He’s not called Donald?..Sorry got distracted.
Stretch out your octopus tentacles as you sleep and connect with your daddy….he’ll be there waiting to have some “craic”
Your daddy will come and give you support and then you “ADULT” you will have total control of the toxic child.
I wonder how many other family members feel the way you do about him?
White and yellow butterflies babes xx
Further Insight – Jax made me think of your FIL which is why I swooped in with Octopus and Snakes.
The madness of the Irish mind.on Lock Down
Is it me or are these comments are getting weirder by the day…
You cannot be employed in the US without giving your employer your SS number. You can’t get a paycheck.
I have issue with everyone always giving Jax a pass on his disgusting behavior, he is also totally high as fuck. Brittany just puts up with this because TV. And Scheana was mistaken. It was Lala that trashed Arianas house, not Stassi. I’m kind of glad this is over. It was just so bizarre.
yes and ariana recognized that she says and spoke to stassi about it & apologized for the mistake but then katie, stassi and lala all still talked shit about “sans furniture” on the after show so stassi said it also. why? because she thinks she is better than anyone … far from it homegirl stankssi
Jax is way out of control. I cannot believe that he said it was his show to Lisa. Lisa looked like she wanted to b^tch slap Jax.
It’s only Lisa’s show when she wants it to be. If anyone questions why there are no minorities featured on the show then it’s Bravo’s show and they make the decisions.
Or you know the fact that the only LGBT person on the show got fired by her.
Is it not weird to anyone that there are no (openly) LGBT people on her show in WEST HOLLYWOOD?
Yes considering all her places are right smack in the middle of WeHo. In fact SUR and Pump are right near The Abby and also a dance club (can’t remember the name).
And yet so many people makes excuses for her.
Hmmm. I can’t believe these “kids” think this show is going to maintain the lifestyles they have become accustomed to! Hopefully the house buyers all had saved money and paid cash for their new digs.
I haven’t watched since the wedding ceremony (maybe that was the one of the main storylines…) because I’ve taken isolation seriously when I’m not at work, I’ve stayed at the nurse’s house in one bedroom w/bath. I work more then I should but hell I’m here so I may as well.
P.S. I’m up for a “2nd shift” here tonight if you know what I mean folks! I work night shift tomorrow and need to sleep as much as I can during the day tomorrow to try and turn around my inner clock. I apologize in advance because my tolerance is low and w/the high probability of being overserved by the bartender (???)…
I agree with all that you’ve said in your recap, but I have to say, I am still invested in this show. It’s not perfect… it was a long season and you’re right that it never really got started. But I felt like the way they ended tonight was almost as good as their first seasons with all the falling outs among friends. I think I heard Kristin is dating someone new, but sticking with the show, I’m happy for her if she’s with Carter. Maybe he’s a loser who lets her pay the bills, but maybe she needs someone in her corner. Maybe she’ll be more peaceful about it this time around. Katie is SUCH a bitch. But I love Schwartz. I thought he looked really good tonight. He makes me happy when he’s on the screen because he’s happy. He’d make a good weather guy. I love my local weather guy because he’s always in a good mood.
I didn’t watch many episodes. This season was bizarre. The newbies and oldies didn’t mesh well as far as making for good TV.
Stassi and Katie need to go kick rocks. I can’t stand either of them.
Stassi should have not been allowed back on the show. Uuuuggghhh!!!!’
Jax needs to get sober if Janes can do it he can too. I felt awful watching the compulsive exercise. How sad for Brittany.
Next week, LVP is going to accidentally step into a scene topless and we won’t notice until 3 hours later.
Will we not notice because her nips will be dragging on the ground below our screens?
Jax is going to be horrible to Brit the second she puts on weight for the baby… actually, she might get a reprieve because her pregnancy gives him attention. But if she doesn’t lose quickly, I can see him being terribly mean to her.
Also, Katie and Lala seem to think (in a post show interview) that Ariana is jealous of Stassi. I don’t think that’s true at all. I think she sometimes finds herself enjoying Stassi but is then reminded of what an entitled mean girl twatwaffle she is. I think AM is the type of person who deeply resents that type (I could be projecting) and also resents that people bow to a twatwaffle.La la is worse though.
Thanks for sticking with the season Tamara. I just can’t quit these crazy kids. Next stop, Vanderpump Daycare Center.
They’d make more money founding Vanderpump Rehab Center. Now THAT is a show I would watch!
Oooh. Even better!
That is a rehab I would GO TO! 🙂
Yes Please – Me To – Can it be in Vegas ?
I would be sad to see this show go just because I have grown attached to these people even though I like very few of them most of the time, but this show needs some kind of overhaul to still work.
For one thing the cast is just way too big. It also seems to focus on the wrong people a lot of that time. I’m not sure if you can fix that by having a Vanderpump Rules proper and a Vanderpump Rules: The New Class or what. But something needs to be done for the next season, which they most certainly will have given what buzz it gets for Bravo (#PumpRules is a top trending topic on Twitter tonight).
One thing that I would change about this show is having Katie get as little screen time as possible. She just isn’t interesting ever and doesn’t bring witty confessionals so it was ridiculous and desperate they gave Katie and Schwartz another wedding this season.
Every second spent showing Katie or that vapid new girl Charli (who didn’t do anything this season but update us on the status of whether she had ever had pasta) was a second wasted not showing us the antics of classic crazies like Scheana and Kristen or this new girl Danica who possibly got fired in the finale? Boo!
Of course maybe it is silly to talk about future seasons of this show when, who knows when a show about a restaurant will be able to film again? Or film again without the cast having to wear face masks?
Strange season indeed! I once really loved this show, but it’s flair is long gone. I feel too old to relate to the new cast, and too burned out from reality tv to care about the old cast. I miss Vanderpump Rules circa 2013!
So I think I’ve figured it out… katie and MJ (Shahs) share a stylist! Only difference is MJ can claim Persian and look good while Katie just looks ridiculous.
And once again I forwarded thru the new kids because they are soooo boring!!! ? If they are on the reunion I will cry because they are soooo boring!!! ? If they come back next season I will boycott because they are soooo boring!!! ?
Anyone else notice the younger Chuck Norris guy that was in the background of nearly every shot at TomTom? Seriously, go back and look, he’s everywhere.
I noticed the Chuck Norris guy too!
He looked like the 70’s porn guy Harry Reems.
yes!
Katie has a stylist? He needs to be fired immediately. Her taste in clothing is terrible.
As usual, I’m an anomaly. I like the new cast; well, some of them. I do not like the Vegas girl Scheana clone. I like Dayna and Brett and Max. And I am waaaay over Schwartz. He’s vapid. No depth. He really bores me. He used to be cute and funny and now I find him neither.
I liked the new cast 2 and would enjoy them in their own show “VPR 2, Young Blood”.
I was shocked when Jax slipped up and said “my show” to Lisa, but that reveals that he really thinks it is his show. I remember a couple seasons ago when he told Sandoval to stop trying to be the number one guy, that he (Jax) was the number one guy. Wrong. Sandoval and Schwartz are WAY more likeable than Jax. Sandoval loves the mirror a bit much, but he is a good, decent, and caring person and a loyal friend. Schwartz is a puppy dog but he always means well. Jax is just a sociopath. The way Jax kept saying “it was my wedding” as if that means he has to be kowtowed to for a year was absurd. For one thing, it is usually women who are more wrapped up in the “it’s my wedding” drama–but it is not a good look when women do it either.
Can’t stand Katie. Brittany is totally right when she said Katie rage texts too–but Katie can’t listen to that. Katie and Stassi have been terrible to Kristen, when she most needed her friends.
I was so happy to see James sober. I hope he has maintained it since filming ended. Happy to see his mother sober too.
Hearing the Toms reinvest their profits into the expansion last summer, when we know what has happened to restaurants since then, was painful. I wonder what covid will mean for the show, since it means no filming can be happening now or even for a couple (several?) months to come. And seeing all those people at the photo shoot and the TomTom anniversary party–probably all of them are out of work now.
I thought Lisa’s speech to Jax at the end was a good season finale–possibly it was the series finale.
I continue to somewhat see Stassi’s point. Granted this was in high school, but we had a friend who was constantly on and off with her boyfriend. When they were off or in limbo, it was CONSTANTLY always about her and she would beg us for our opinion. Our opinion was that he was an ass who treated her like shit and used her. We finally told her the truth that she begged us for. She got upset with us and defended him. Then when they got back together, she got mad on his behalf. Then they would break up,he still used her for sex and money, and the cycle would begin again. He was the center of most of her conversations. Sleep overs, etc. she would bring it up again. Giving her sympathy over and over and over again became exhausting and untenable. I should add that a lot of the support wasn’t reciprocal because she was deep in her feelings, and yes, at one point she told others that my bestie and I were “jealous” and “mean”. (But then after a month of listening to her whine and ponder over the boyfriend, they got what we had been going through)
I find it interesting that the two who got confronted about their treatment of the friend circle are the ones who fucked each other in the first season when both were in relationships… and the ones they cheated on where also on the other side of the confrontations. I’ve always found it remarkable that Sandoval and Stassi forgave them to the level that they deepened the friendships, and that they didn’t bond with each other over that mutual betrayal.
Yeah, but you say this as if Katie and Stassi didn’t do exactly the same sorts of things regarding their on again off again relationships in previous seasons. And Schwartz talks about what a cunt Katie is and we don’t see him getting sick of Schwartz. Britanny also was in a very dramatic relationship with Jax and they threw her parties and patted her on the head. How any of these people think they are better than Kristen is beyond me.
Ah, good point, but this may be the Prosecco talking now.
The difference may be that they were also cheaters. That previous baggage may have used up some of the baggage and tolerance levels. I can’t stand Katie, so I’m leaving her aside. When Tom talks about Katie being a cunt… he’s speaking some of the truth. Jax’s complaints, etc. are unreasonable. They are kind to Britanny because we did see an improvement in Jax and she comes across as sweet (until she became Bridezilla a bit with the homophobic preacher), and the drama is more on Jax. Schwartz is like a kicked, stupid puppy you can’t be mad at. (He has the Sonja factor – can’t stay mad at him)
Stassi is high maintenance, but I am remembering in that first season they all defended Jax, told her she was crazy – and SHE WAS RIGHT. Also, I don’t think (correct me if I’m wrong) she laid every complaint about Patrick out on the table, and she consistently stayed with him and they were relieved when she broke up with him and STAYED BROKEN UP. I think it is the extreme back and forth with Kristen.
I ALSO think that there was more drama behind the scenes that didn’t get on camera so they couldn’t discuss with Witches of WeHo. That might be the real issue that didn’t make for a good script.
I can see Stassi’s point too. I’ve had friends like Kristin, and they’re exhausting. Yes, both Katie and Stassi have had dysfunctional relationships, but for the most part, they’ve grown and matured. Kristen is in the same dysfunctional relationships since season 1.
Stassi and Patrick went back and forth. In major ways — her moving to NYC to be with him, then back to L.A. to weasel her way back on to VPR — can we ever forget the Statement Necklace “line” that looked just like the ones her mom had been selling?
The best parts were when Katie (in her one good scene) served Stassi her comeuppance on a pasta platter and when her brother Nikolai (my favorite sidekick) weighed in on the relationship.
The worst parts were when Patrick moved to L.A. and belittled her (e.g. the vocabulary lesson — although it was for a word she should have known) and the LVP “ass watching” comments. (Those seemed so fake, even for the man-bunned douchecanoe.) No matter what bad things there are about Carter, they pale compared to Patrick.
This just means that Stassi probably has a better radar. Everyone thought Patrick was a piece of work… Stassi at least LISTENED once they broke up and didn’t defend him.
God, I hope you get more Tequila, you are so on point.
All of the above is why I stopped watching the show.
I wonder if the lock down in California through July at least is going to end this show. It is another show that usually shoots in the summer. Honestly it needs to end and I feel bad for all these people who banked on this showing being their long term paycheck. I also agree, why buy that big of a house. I live in a small house and have kids.
At one point when I was teaching I wanted to buy this house, it was a particular sort of house that I like. The name escapes me, not carpenter, or tradesmen or craft house but something like that, it was small one sort. Maybe it is craftsman? But as someone with zero debt I just couldn’t see going into to debt when I already have a shack that provides a roof over my head and I was walking to work.
A few years later, the crazy came. Had I sold the shack first and then put all of that money to the craftsman (?) house I wanted in a nicer part of town. I MIGHT have been okay but I would have been reliant on my job to keep it. IT BOGGLES MY MIND that these fools with no education think it is a good idea to buy a two million dollar house. As it turns out, I was right again. Are they going to pay their mortgages bartending? A job they can’t even do right now? I really don’t believe that the Toms got 50K in income from LVP. However, I don’t think she paid them so basically they made 50K from that job last year as “influencers” they could have made more on IG. If they got it at all. I’m not saying they should still live in the shitty apartments production made them live in for years. I’m just saying there is some sort of happy medium that is more financially prudent. I don’t see these people as being savers. Jax’s credit card has been denied on nearly every season.
It is Craftsman. I watch House Hunter a LOT! 🙂
I regards to their home purchases….it may be possible that, with their earnings, they could have saved enough to put big enough deposits down where their mortgages end up being less. My FIL put almost half down for my SIL so her loan amount/payments were manageable.
I believe Sandoval and Ariana might have been smart enough to save. He lived in the same crappy apartment from the start and said they never moved to save so it wouldn’t surprise me if he did save up a decent chunk to put down. The rest though had nicer places and I just don’t see it.
When we purchased our house we told them we wanted to pay less monthly than we did for rent and so it was worth the move.
Production FORCED them to stay in those apartments for the longest time. The fact that the let them buy houses… means they know the show is over. They would not let them move and they made next to nothing for several seasons. Because you can’t let the show go on if they have money in the way the show started. Also they were not paid SHIT the first two or three season.
That said, they can’t afford these housed unless there are two of them making money. And some of them still need to pick up some shifts. If the show ends… they have not set themselves up properly. They tried with Witches of Weho… Katie and Stassi fucked that up.
Jax and Brittany will be the first to go broke. Stassi has book money and Beau has a job and she has her podcast and social media, that stuff canlt last forever, but who knows maybe she is money savvy and has invested wisely, she certainly has done a better job than the rest of the cast at capitalizing on her celebrity. Kristin has some business with t shirts, she might land on her feet. Sandoval and Ariana might be ok because he owns a stake in some businesses but with current events who knows, Ariana is gonna have to bartend I guess, she might have saved and invested, she didn’t strike me as super spendy but who knows. Katie and Shwartz might be ok because of his stake in the businesses, who knows, she had a blog that she gave up on, she doesn’t seem like much of a worker. Stassi was super quick to throw in the towel on that wine business because she has other stuff to fall back on whereas Kristin wanted to make it work because she likely needs it more, Katie just acted like a lump about the whole thing, maybe she has a trust fund or something. Given how many years this show has been on, the cast has done very little except for Stassi at capitalizing on the opportunity. Going on a reality show is the best way to advertise your own businesses, god look at Bethenny Frankel, she acts like she is some super business guru but she just used her platform and status as a popular member of NY housewives to make something out of her skinny margarita idea, had she never been a housewife she would still be living in the tiny one bedroom trying to hawk her healthy cookies in grocery stores.
Thanks Leanne.. I am missing my words a lot lately. Craftman is correct. It was an adorable house bout more than three times the ghetto shack. And I am not trying to be a bag lady so I feel like I mad the right choice. Debt scares the holy shit out of me. I paid cash for my house and may car to make sure I had those two things.
Bethenny Frankel would have been a mogul with or without RHONY. She’s making way more on HBO Max.
We ALL forgot that Jax and Britt will get rich on Mawmaw’s Beer Cheese,
Or, at least have something to eat when VPR is canceled.
Britt is hawking some jeans too. But that will disappear when VPR does.
A few months ago someone made a comment to Jax about money. He went off about how well he has invested, and he’s “set for life” in low income housing, pot farms, as well as production equipment that he rents out. Not sure how much truth to that there is.
Well, if it is equipment people can use filming shit at home, he’s golden. But if it is heavy duty stuff? He’s screwed right now.
This show has run its course . I watched from the beginning and this season is just terrible. Stassi is back to who she always was. She was BEGGING to get back on and Kristen was the one who brought her back in. I think Kristen will be the one ahead since she bought a fixer upper rather then overspend like the others did. I can’t imagine this show will come back. The new cast is awful.
omggggggggggg who the efff does Jax think he is??? ughhhhh. If I were Lisa I would have fired him on the spot. Can you ever imagine saying to your boss “I do whatever I want”???? I believe him–he honestly has something wrong with his brain,, He is mentally ill. I would normally feel bad for Brit but she totally knew what she was marrying. Stassi truly dodged a bullet….too bad Beau didn’t…
yeah, he has brain sprain….AKA lay off the substances.
Right! He admitted on the show this past week that he smokes a lot of weed, then eats and gains weight, then he takes adderal to diet. He is a fucking mess.
Bad enough he says he never wore a black shirt (uniform). But to deviate at a COMPANY PHOTOSHOOT is beyond. He is beyond. Britt got what she deserved. Who would move across the country to be with a guy she barely knew unless it was an opportunity to be on TV.
i dunno what he is talking about… i remember him wearing the tight ass SUR black button up shirt on the time him and brittany were having problems (yet again) bec of the brittany hooking up with kristen.. i have a pretty good memory, he was def wearing the DUR shirt to bed, euuuiew as his pajamas? jax is beyond all sorts of NASTY
When Dayna said she chooses herself over Brett or Max I thought, how very Kelly Taylor of her! Classic episode of 90210 if anyone doesn’t know.
The ending seemed like the ending of the show for good, but who knows. It seemed very “Hills” like
First time poster, long time listener….
You know who has the best coke?
The hotshot bartender.
And what the iceman giveth, the ice man taketh away…. especially from the loose cannon who know where all the bones are buried.
Just felt like saying that.
There is way too much rage to be explained by mental illness or simple jealousy. Cheap street drugs might explain the paranoia and bizarre rants.
Or not of course.
You are right on target. And who SQUEALS the loudest? The first little piggy to get busted. I am surprised it hasn’t happened yet. I hope anyone who was partaking has wised up. I don’t want anyone else to go down. Except Katie. But that would hurt Schwartz, so I don’t want that to happen.
I think it’s time for this show to be over.
Jax was setting everyone up for his “mental break”, code for rehab. We will soon hear that he is in a facility for stress. All he does is work out and mow lawns. What’s he stressed about? Maybe it’s because he knows he spent all his cash and the show is ending.
GO ARIANA! for finally confronting jax and being so cool, calm and collected as always. yelling or losing your shit over a person like jax or even stassi is useless bec they will never get it but at least she put him in his place.
you know if that was katie, kristen even brittany who confronts jax will be faced with stupid sarcastic, passive aggressive, non sense and probably he would walk away instead of ariana leaving him in her dust. HA!
I watched it twice. I couldn’t pay attention either time. Jax is headed off the rails, seriously, and I hope the Toms stay cool and motivated. Their friendship is precious. I downvote Too many episodes without James. Raquel is the hero of the season.
I love Raquel and sober James! Keep them, a few of the younger cast, and get rid of the originals.
Twice production made a point of showing a very shaky Britt pouring herself a shot in situations where many of just wouldn’t (Rona has changed that for some). It’s just a matter of course apparently and we know her doctor told her to watch the drink. She wasn’t handling the whole Jax thing very well and I guess that’s understandable, delusional as she is.
At the end of the episode, when three or four of the “old” couples all walked away in different directions, I fantasized that we were being told they were off the show and VPR will have a new direction. I know it’s played out but I’ll miss it a bit and would rather they try a new format then cancel it outright. The virus adds alot of wait and see to all future programming.
Lala has some nerve talking about someone’s home. If it weren’t for Randal and her giving bj’s she would be living in a studio apartment in Weho with a roommate. Humble she is not, she should be thankful and not rag on others.
I thought I heard that Tom and Ariana have no furniture right now because they are having furniture custom made. I kind of believe that. Tom puts his personal touch on everything and I don’t think either Tom or Ariana would walk into a store and want the staged living area, bedroom area, etc that is displayed. I think Jax is so jealous of Sandoval. Tom isnt perfect but he has and is everything Jax will never be. Lisa chose Tom over Jax, Sandoval is Schwartz’s #1 and Ariana is repulsed by Jax.
Or they are getting it as they can afford it. In the 80s my parents and I finally moved into a home that they were having built as they could afford it.
It didn’t have complete siding for a couple of years, and there was the Christmas everyone had to BYOC… bring their own folding chairs for the living room. We had a Christmas tree and not much else. The fancy dining room table? A door on two sawhorses and an extra large table cloth. We had to make sure a larger dish was over the door handle hole!
