I’m going to try and focus on a decent Vanderpump Rules Recap for tonight’s final reunion episode. I’m still a bit out of it. It’s a bit odd that they are putting the reunion out on two consecutive nights. I am wondering what bravo show airs on your know, whatever day this is, normally. š Is it RHOC? Yes, Nanette just confirmed it. It’s weird there is no episode this week. But, I’m sure we will all survive, lol.
It’s Not Love, Actually.
It looks like a very dramatic hour is ahead. We go right back into the drama between Sandoval and Schwartz. Katie says that Schwartz has been doing all the heavy lifting for the bar. Raquel apologizes to Katie for comments she made on WWHL about Schwartz butting out. Lala mocks Ariana and Sandoval for not being married. On to Lala and her bad nose job. Did she go to Terry Dubrow? lol. I can’t remember. Then more James bashing. It seems a bit unnecessary at this point. James seems like he is not happy that Raquel has left him. He seems a bit heartbroken, but resigned to the situation. LVP seems to be the mother that James has always needed.

Next we talk about Scheana and Brock and how it met. Brock having the same kind of “Investors Visa” that LVP has is bizarre. He can’t pay child support but he qualifies for an investors visa that is sometimes s much as a million dollars? LVP has been able to keep her visa because she and Ken have opened numerous businesses in the country. Is Homebody or whatever it is going to be enough to keep him here? Andy brings this up. Brock says that he has been paying child support since 2018. But he is not caught up with what he owes.
Lala Has Her Dramatic Moment
Andy moves on to the topic of Raquel being adopted. He seems confused. It’s not that difficult. Her birth mother’s sister adopted her at birth. She rarely sees her birth mother. Her dad is on the way to help her pack her stuff and take her home. James says Raquel’s family never really liked him. Shocker. Why are we wasting time on this. Then it is time for us to try to muster a tear for Lala losing her man the same was she got him. But first, shady Andy plays a montage of all of Lala, nasty comments to Scheana about Brock. And how great her relationship was. It’s well deserved shade.

Aw, Lala feels bad. Then she tries to defend herself again. Can’t she just say that she was wrong. Lala would not let anyone tell her anything negative about Randall. Hell, I knew he had a long history of cheating. He was cheating WITH Lala. So, this isn’t shocking new to Lala. People share times when Randall was doing questionable things. Lala is mad that no one told her. LVP points out that no one said anything negative about Randall on camera. Because they would not do that to her. Lala says that Randall was never home.
The Smartest Thing LVP Has Ever Said
Even Raquel is the first to point out that Lala began seeing Randall as a mistress. Then, LVP says “Sometimes the way you get them is how you lose them.” Lala seems to be pissed off by the truth. Everyone had to sign NDAs to go to Coachella or whatever it was with Lala and Randall before he was ever on the show! That should have been the first HUGE RED FLAG. She was literally blowing him for a Range Rover. How is that someone to have a baby with unless you are trying to secure the bag! She says that Randall told her he was separated. They all say that, sweetie. And they were on the road together for two straight months. What wife would allow that? We go back to five minutes earlier when she said he was never home.

LVP is really holding Lala’s feet to the fire. WE ALL KNEW SHE WAS WITH A MARRIED MAN before he was even identified. She was literally providing him with sexual favors for expensive gifts! She totally knew he was married and didn’t care. Hell, he may STILL be married as far as we know. But, Lala continues to blame it all on Randall. LVP chimes in with “leopard doesn’t change his points.” James says that he always hated Randall. At least they don’t have to play pickleball with him anymore. But does Lala get the pickleball court and the house?
Summer’s Eve Sandwich Shop
On to the burning question. Does ANYONE like the Name “Something About Her” for a sandwich shop? People are pretending to think it’s a good name. Schwartz says he thought it was something he and Katie would do in their “golden years.” Newsflash, no one wants to open a restaurant in their “golden years” it’s way too much work.Ā Randall will no longer invest so they are looking for new investors. LVP might invest. Apparently, Randall was asking other people to invest and pretending to front the money himself. That sounds very Randall.

I am pretty much a fan of Scheana and Brock this season. Who would have guessed that? Lala seems furious that Brock and Scheana are getting married. Then, we flip back to Brock paying $25K for the engagement ring. I do not believe that for a minute a morganite ring of that size is closer to $5K. But, I am on team Scheana and Brock. I think it is fine to announce their engagement. Just because someone else is engaged doesn’t mean you cannot share your engagement. Scheana is correct. Lala is the one ruined the party. Oh Kathy Hilton and Paris are on WWHL! But I will be The Amazing Race first. Let me know your WWHL thoughts in comments. I may be back to share.
OMG! Sandoval has made Summer’s Eve drinks for everyone to toast with. Wonder where that idea came from? LOL. Brock and Scheana are planning to marry in November in Bali and they hope his family will be able to come. And there we have it. The end of the reunion was sad with James and Raquel saying goodbye. He dad comes to pick her up.
He can be so hard to love, but I canāt help feel that James is a lost little puppy. That would explain LVPās affection towards him – she has said she prefers dogs to humans. She can rescue him look she does dogs.
Freaking Lala. She thought it would be different for her. Now she has a baby with a scammer forever. Ugh. Showing her acting superior about my man Rand! Cringeworthy
LaLa had a cash register baby.
Yep. And I doubt she was shocked by all the cheating. LOTS of other people knew. She knew he was a cheater when she got with him while he was married.
Where TF does Lala get off with the āHe made me feel safe enough to bring a child into this world!ā boo hoo hoo hoo crap? Did you ever think that maybe his wife felt that way before you came along? Cunt. Those bitches always think THEY are the magic pussy that will make the cheater change his ways. I wouldnāt be having this rant if she hadnāt acted too good for the plebeians at SUR!
So, Lala, for how many women did you trim YOUR MANāS ass hairs? Whoās trimming them now? I remember her on Jeff Lewisās show acting like SHE was the BOSS of the remodel! Then she DARES to make fun of Ariana and Sandoval because they arenāt married! Something is WRONG with her head! Look at that stupid girl! If she had gotten married at a small Covid ceremony like all of the people who cared about the MARRIAGE and not the SPECTACLE, maybe she would be getting some of that money. Maybe he will give that Range Rover to his next blower. Third-hand Range Rover for good BJs! I guess yours werenāt THAT good Lala! Good enough for him to let her give the sweet baby girl a STUPID name: Ocean.
So ā¦ QUESTION ā¦ Why isnāt Katie butting in to TomTom? And ,.. LOTS of people do not want their spouses involved in their business, especially if they are bitches. And ā¦ as far as if Schwartz dies, etc. ā¦ LLC anyone? ā¦ DUH!
One more thing: WHO TF gets engaged to someone you havenāt had sex with in YEARS? Unless you are 80. Or 90. WTF?
And the name Summer Moon? Are these women 1960s hippies? BTW, my second cousin has a daughter named Ocean. No lie.
I think James and Raquelle admitted at the reunion that the whole engagement thing was for the show. They’ve been going through the motions for a long time. I have a lot of respect for Raquelle calling it off. I guess she’s off the show, if there is a show next season.
I can understand her father not being thrilled over her engagement to a newly recovering alcoholic ā¦ but what a piece of work he is ā¦ is his model the WASP version of Tony Soorano?
Her dad seems like he might be on spectrum. He acts like a lot of special engineers and scientists I know. I liked how straightforward he was with James and Raquel.
OMG, you said everything I was thinking!
Absolutely LOVE this post. Your best yet.
Raquel characterizing Lala as a mistress was EVERYTHING! It was a true statement and a put down to Lala that was more gangster than anytime Lala would get angry and get in someoneās face.
And LaLa didn’t even have anything to say back because it is true! Raquel got some revenge after how awful LaLa has been to her in the past.
EVERYTHING! šÆ GANGSTA!
And she said it in that understated Raquel way — that’s what made it so harsh.
EVERYTHING!!!!
I canāt believe Brock – he slapped his ex wife and then bought Scheana a ridiculously expensive ring but isnāt paying off his child support. Wonder how his ex wife and kids feel about Scheana saying heās such a perfect 50/50 partner with her in caring for their daughter.
Yes, when I heard that I kept thinking about his kids. So he thinks so much of what the ex put in place, that thats the reason heās not trying to move heaven and earth to see the kids – same kids he hadnāt seen prior to Covid ever being in the picture.
He’s not allowed to see the kids, by court order, as I understood it. Until he pays off his child support, he can’t see the kids.
I know in the US that visitation with the kids cannot be tied to being up to date with child support. The kids need both parents. And he is paying back the money the govt gave the ex because he reneged on child support. That’s why he’s paying. The govt came after him for its money. And he kept claiming he has been paying since 2018 even though Scheana corrected him (initially at least) that it was 2019.
I think he is such a lying scammer. I hope that govt employees heard his dubious claim to a visa — he owns something and he claimed it was worth 500K. Even Lisa was rolling her eyes.
So pay off the child support. I would expect him to live in a tent on the beach (itās legal in parts of LA) until he paid his debt. Having ANOTHER child is irresponsible when you can not care for the ones you already have. I find the whole situation tawdry and distasteful.
My ex, with whom I had one child, and never paid a penny of the unbelievably low amount of support, tried to tell the court that he had had a couple of kids since then he had to support. The court, when sending him to jail for failure to pay, told him that DD was “child #1” and came first.
(His mother paid the back support to get him out of jail lol. After that, he paid minutes before the failure to pay hearing.)
Omg! How awful. Iām glad he paid upāor mommy did! You are lucky to be free, right? ā¤ļø
He said the ex put that in place – not seeing the kids until he paid what he owed.
Isn’t Randall broke now? I remember seeing somewhere he couldn’t pay bills or previous child support. Similar to LVP, my mom used to say if they’ll do it with you, they’ll do it to you. She probably got it from Judge Judy. But definitely something to remember.
Katie was channeling Kourtney Kardashian. Itās obvious. Lala and her are friends now and chatting Hollywood..
I donāt watch this show anymore but eagerly read the recaps. Karma is a bitch, isnāt it, Lala? I do agree about the sandwich shop name. Just weird. Speaking of weird, what the hell kind of getup is Katie wearing? Itās wrong on so many levels!
Katieās next business venture is brothel madame.
O.M.G I am DEAD 4paz ššš
Perfect! Ding Ding Ding!
For the first time on a reality TV show, I cried. When they brought up who got custody of Graham, I lost it. James looked hurt. I think its best that they don’t marry, but I seriously worry that without the anchor to normalcy of Raquel and Graham, James will return to drinking and worse. I pray not.
When my last boyfriend and I broke up, it was harder losing the dog (his) than him. I cried over the dog for 9 months. Then I got to see her again for weekends and trips to the beach. I hope James gets to see little Graham Cracker. But logistically, I think they are in different states.
Scheana’s ring has to be other than what it seems. I would NEVER travel with precious/sentimental jewelry unless I was wearing it. I sure wouldn’t even tote it inside a handbag in my own home! She doesn’t realize life isn’t all about her. She’s wrapped in the same hamster wheel of justifying relationships. That’s exhausting.
Can someone explain to me exactly what James did to hurt Raquel’s nose after her plastic surgery and did she get it fixed? Last I read they were trying to get people to pay for her nose surgery by buying a photo of their toes…or something like that.
James kissed her too hard, and her freshly done nose bent. The toe pics were to pay for the new nose job but they didnāt make enough money. Thus Raquel is now using contouring makeup to correct her āhideousā schnozz ! š
The nose story makes NO SENSE now that Raquel has told us they have not been intimate in two years…. IJS.
I forgot to ask….I always thought the parties were paid for by Bravo. Is it true that Sandoval paid for James’ engagement? Also, did Bravo pay for James’ engagement party, the last episode of the season? Since when did these people have to pay for their own parties?
I bet the network pays most of it, but not for everythingālike wardrobe or private transportation.
I thought the show revealed that Scheana’s money went into Brock’s business? Here he is a deadbeat, and she is blind with anything interfering with her self-centered needs — planning a wedding IN BALI?????? What happened to having a wedding that reflected your financial capabilities? I guess they figured Bravo will pay.
She is on SM saying he used multiple CCs for the ring as a joke for the cameras. He didn’t look as if he was joking to me. And he asked for employee discounts when they shop e.g. at Target? smdh
That whole multiple credit card thing made me cringe. He has zero financial sense to charge that much money he canāt afford to pay. Oh Scheana!
Once more with feeling. The ring is morganite and worth about $5K. The shopping scene was fake.
This is why I love your recaps and views your so right š¤·āāļø
Bali is one of the cheapest places in the world to have a luxurious holiday.
It is also beautiful and the people amazing.
It’s a great choice for them as their family in Australia can be there too.
I would love to be in Bali or Australia, and I love to travel. But any flight longer than 7 or eight hours is about my limit. Unless I am in first class with a flat bad and a sleeping pill. And wine. š
James and Lala used to be my faves.
James seems like he has so much rage. I am hoping he will work on that next.
Lala, I was cheering for, until she got with Randall.
I still root for Arianna.
Charli is a bore
Racquel I am torn on. Schena annoys me, but seems harmless enough
Hoping the Toms can make a go of their bar š
I thought James handled himself really well during the reunion. He did not rage and admitted he was wrong several times (even if he did cry, I don’t blame him as he’s clearly heartbroken).
Scheana is not harmless when she insists she was entitled to announce her engagement during James and Raquel’s engagement weekend. She clearly didn’t care/understand that it was not her time. She couldn’t wait a few days? It was like Meghan Markle and Harry announcing she was expecting at the reception of Beatirce’s (or Egunie I can’t tell them apart) wedding. Way to steal someone else’s spotlight.
Listening to James talk about Thanksgiving with Raquel’s family and how he was trying so hard to prove himself, really made me feel sorry for him. Obviously Raquel’s family are just looking out for her, and although it doesn’t seem like it, James has calmed down over the years… But it was never good enough.
I hope he doesn’t take a dark turn and can stay sober
About Brock. Im an Aussie and I heard him comment he cant see his kids until he is caught up in his chid support payments. This is incorrect. The law isn’t like that in Australia, it doesnt matter if you are behind in payments, you are still allowed to have access visits with your children. Regardless. So Im am left wondering if there is more to the story.
He actually is allowed to see his kids. They came to the US just before COVID to visit him in 2018. That story is from many years ago. Very recently Schaena talked about it on her Instagram stories and said Bravo edited out a lot of his explanation when he spoke to Lala and Randall.. She said Brock is completely caught up in payments now. Brock is not terribly articulate at times as well.
Exacty.
Yeah Brock getting that “Investors Visa” certainly seemed So weird? He had $500k to put up for an investment? Ok. That said he kept saying he has been paying his child support since 2018 and Scheana corrected him at least once with “2019”. I do like him, and Sheana has been unusually likable this season. And YES! RHOC was supposed to be on last night! That’s how I got roped into watching this.
That and I was too lazy to look for another show. I had a phone counseling appointment at 5, and was drained after that. When she was taking my history, after going through the abusive first marriage etc. etc. I actually started crying. And because the counselor shared that she had just had covid she had brain fog I was naturally more concerned with her than I. Which is apparently part of my problem-
Nanette, I Love the name Ocean! I did think it rich that Lala was getting it from all sides being the mistress. You would have thought she would have been smart enough to get him to actually marry her, I wonder why that never happened? I am glad this is over, glad Raquel got out, and I appreciate the recap!
I’m sure they played the 2 reunion episodes back to back just to get the whole damn thing over with. Amen.
I think Scheana encouraged Brock to purchase a ring for her. She is sneaky that way to get what she wants and she wanted a ring before the season was over. If Scheana was a mature woman she would have insisted Brock pay his child support FIRST before any money was spent on the two of them. That is what you do if you love a man. You want him to own up to his responsibilities first before taking on another.
I got my Ceasars club email yesterday and I noticed that a VANDERPUMP D’ PARIS is opening.
LVP spoke about her restaurants āallā ā except the shakily closed down Villa Blanca ā being up and running. She said TomTom was in the black last month for the first time since Covid. When she said that āParisā was opening in Vegas, I cracked up. How do people underwater on their businesses keep getting loans for more businesses?
Lesson for Katie: If she is worried about being strapped with Scwartzās debt if he were to die, STRUCTURE the business like LVP!
I looked again, and it is the first listed as vanderpump a` Paris, then Nobu Paris, then the Bedford by Martha Stewart.
I was surprised by the order for it to be first, LOL.
Please Bravo just end this show. It is nothing at all like it started and these people they have turned into
entitled over indulged brats are not interesting.
Lala I have to say you have succeeded in freezing any kind of emotion off your face. Way too many injections dear- and woman to woman you have an ugly cry now with the frozen face.
my fiance’s company does eb-5 (investors visa). Typically you have to invest in a company that creates jobs for a minimum of 5 years. their projects are usually building hotels/condominium high rises, etc. The minimum is usuall $500K
Exactly. Does Brock look like someone who has $500K to invest?
Katie is not ugly. She has money, aka stylists, available. Yet she chooses to consistently pick the most horrifically unattractive pieces for her body type. Iām a 6 and I never look like this, at least I hope not.
Brock needs to pay his child support. He is a mooch. I canāt stand him. James doesnāt deserve R.
LOVED LOVED LOOVVVEEED lala being called on her mistress ways. They way you get him is the way you lose him.
The show is done. Letās move on.
LaLa wanted Rand to treat the wife and kids like shit. As the mistress, she felt entitled to call the shots.
Roles reversedā¦ the navy mistresses are wanting to call the shots.
Girl, your sob story didnāt go far. The minute you were reminded that you were *that* person, the waterworks stoped.
LaLa reaped what she sowed. No more, no less.
I loved Brocks comment āgood story broā. He said it after Lala said her sob story.
I seriously thought Lala had rehearsed what she was going to say because she knew it was coming.
It really was quite the performance and I was not buying it LOL
That racked me up too!
Ok heres what I want to know, I know someone that never knew he had a daughter found out when she was 17 anyway he got the 100k+ bill for back child support. He paid this and sees his kid. So my question is how much money does Brock owe if he in fact has been paying since 2018, to not be caught up. Are the kids teenagers and it’s just an astronomical sum??? I mean is he paying and extra 10 bucks a month towards that payment now that he will never get caught up! I think we all know that ring that Sheana joking said was put on 3 cards would leave him most likely in the clear and able to support everyone. I don’t get these two. And yes the investor Visa, obviously, they must know it will be revoked so get her pregnant and and married, problem solved. What in the 90 day fiance is going on!
I was actually rooting for James and Raquel but they were not ready for marriage. She is one of the sweetest people I have seen on reality Tv.
I like Brock and I have always liked Scheana. Brock is a bonehead but he seems to have a good heart and Scheana is not going to allow him to be a deadbeat with his other children, give them time. Also, I have known plenty of women who have not let their kids see their fathers over unpaid support, not new or shocking just unfortunate. Brockās best comeback of the season is when Lalalala tried to explain she is like a fine wine and he said āwell Iām drinking scotchā and dropped the mic.
I like the people who had balls to put Lala in her place except for Charlie (wack azz hell). Charlie couldnāt even stand her ground when Lala tried it with her and then she turned on Sceana, weak azz hell. Sandoval, Ariana, and Brock confronted her time and time again because she think she know ancient secrets and how everyone should be in their relationshipā¦really, the side chick.
Katie always hooks up with the meanest chick like Stassi, Kristen (when they were beefing with Stassi) and now Lala. Does anyone else see this? I donāt think she should be involved in the Tomsā business. She can support HER husband in many other ways since she is 1/2 responsible for her crappy relationship with Sandoval. Panini, grilled cheese, open face, sourdough or rye, the sky is the limitā¦go do that.
These people are just people on a show whoās lives are televised and edited and partially (?) staged for our entertainment. Thank you Bravo, I have been entertained.
Some side chick is being cheated on, some woman is with a guy whoās net worth is less than hers and he owe child support, some woman is with a guy who takes longer than her to get ready. some girl is dumping a guy who canāt control his emotions, jzst saying.
100% agree!
Katie is just a cheerleader for the main girl…
Brock is not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he is loyal.
Charlie talks a big game but struggles to deliver.
Lala is gutted that not only did the world find out about her ‘stand up guy’ but also he is broke and she’s not entitled to a ‘day/night nurse’.
Sandaval is a party animal…I hope to see more of his parties next season
Brock is an asshole. A self-centered, delusional lying piece of roided-up arrogant cling-on shit. He Could have easily taken the highroad when it came to Lala. Acted like the gentleman he always claims to be. Instead, he bitch slapped her at every opportunity.
I don’t care if what Lala said or did is right or wrong… HE is no place to pass judgement.
Re that ‘ring’..
Am I the only one who understood what he muttered?
They were all talking about his paying off his back child support (to the gov) & how he put the ring cost onto three credit cards. He said ‘of course I use credit cards’ & Lisa said some thing about wouldn’t you have sent the money to your children. he replied “why would I send $20,000 to the government?”
No, you worthless piece of shit. You’re paying US (Aussies) back for supporting YOUR kids.
OH. & button up the Frada shirt, dumbass.
Ti Yershoo has been posting her forever. And I was today years old when I finally “got” the user name. Am I the only one? š
š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
Even Better.. ? I am Jade DeLaurentis on IG š¬
Ha! I don’t get on IG much. I’m a Twitter asshole. š Mostly because I don’t have a cellphone, I know, I know, I just think they are ridiculously expensive. I don’t support Apple products at ALL. They are fleecing the sheep like Trump did. THAT’S MY OPINION! So Nanette, does all the posting of photos and such for the site for me. Among her many other “Ladysitter duties” she does for me. š
I’m anti-apple…
So I bought the cheapest Android that does the exact same thing an apple does hahaha
What did you buy?
I travel a lot. I have my apple phone set up so that I can do pretty much anything I need re Business from anywhere in the world. Form letters to quotes to design specifications to reports. In the case of Apple, I selfishly decide to ignore their obvious trump style market manipulation in favor of my own desires.
God, I hate trump, tho. Now I might go back to pen & paper
Two different moderations, two different typos. lol. Also, I was working on a post.
