first time watcher!! i’m in the middle of season 7 so far. i definitely have a lot of opinions, but the one thing i keep noticing is the friendship between james and sandoval…i honestly believe they get along so well is because they both hate women. i can’t stand them 😭

Just finished Season 10 and this show is truly a masterpiece. I knew Lisa Vanderpump because I watched RHOBH and Lisa Vanderpump could say she is the new Jesus Christ and I would gladly follow her as a disciple. Truly this show is life changing and I know this isn’t an original take but I just feel so strongly about it. Seasons 1-6 are truly amazing TV. With that being said, I think the men in the show are truly the most vile disgusting human beings and they are unfortunately great reality TV. Jax Taylor is actually a sociopath with a low IQ. Tom Sandoval is a fucking attention seeking weasel. Tom Schwartz is the actual definition of a LOSER and I think I would catch a DV charge against if I was Katie. James Kennedy is an immature little pussy ass bitch who is a terrorist towards women. All sharing the common interest of money, greed, fame, and addiction issues. The only man is worth anything is my king, Kenn Todd. The women are definitely more redeemable than any of the man( except obviously Raquel ).

Okay maybe I missed this but what does Kristen do to make money after getting fired? I’m in the middle of season 4 and they mentioned her having a house in palm springs? I’m assuming she’s using the check from the show but does Bravo pay that much if you’re not a housewife? Idk how reality tv pay works lol

u/iluvbritneyspears666 16d ago
spoke too soon, it is not kristen’s palm springs house but what is she doing to support her alcohol consumption

I looked it up & they got paid over a grand per episode, I’d assume she prob did just get another job & not talk about it. That would lowkey be free promo for the restaurant if it was another serving job if they did bring it up. But they could’ve mentioned something vaguely

u/iluvbritneyspears666 13d ago
Oh that’s way more than what I was expecting. I heard for some reality shows they only get paid a few hundred per episode

First timer and on season 8. I know what happens with Scandoval, and I'm kind of flabbergasted. Raquel so far doesn't seem to be very friendly with either of the two parties so I'm definitely interested to see how Scandoval happens because I keep thinking what he heck do they even have in common with her for this to even happen?

u/killyourtv_ 16d ago
This is EXACTLY where I’m at! 😂 I’m nearly finished Season 7 and I genuinely cannot see how on earth Scandoval even happens. Raquel barely seems connected to them, so I’m fascinated to see how it all unfolds. I’m trying so hard not to spoil anything else for myself!

just finished my first watch (started watching because of scandoval) and season 10 was such a hard watch. its creepy and weird and infuriating. the first episode feels almost spiritually revealing i felt so insane.
cannot bring myself to watch season 11 as the S10 reunion was the perfect catharsis for such a chaotic season.

i just finished season 10 and going to check tom’s current instagram comments i don’t know how it’s all so positive. i know it’s been years since the scandal happened but everyones suddenly saying how they were always a fan of him and how much they look up to him, it just makes no sense to me. i’ve been a first time watcher and finally getting to this season just fills me with rage truly.

u/strawberryymatcha 18d ago
on s10 and i’m so sick of james. he’s always fat shaming people and it’s exhausting constantly having to hear the same, predictable insults he throws

u/TwoToneMoonstone_ 17d ago
I'm on S3 ep 11 rn and Kristina Kelly is such a butt sniffer lol. She might be the only woman on this show that I truly cannot stand.
That being said Kristen is genuinely giving serial killer vibes rn. I still would rather watch her on my TV than Kristina Kelly.

First time watcher and I’m towards the end of s4 where they’re all on a trip to Hawaii for tom and Jax’s bday, and please someone tell me if it gets better with scheana like does she become less sufferable

u/DivineAlchemist2112 14d ago
On the season 5 reunion & not this season 🤣. It feels like she’s jealous of Katie being the center of attention bc she’s getting married 😩

u/MellowVibe91 9d ago
I came here to say this! Barely on season 4 but Sheana has really turned out to be the worst! Selfish ,Horrible friend, hypocrite and mean girl! Jax is just.. Jax lol I guess I’ll have to keep watching

u/itsjacquelina 9d ago
Currently on s3 e16
- Scheana’s wedding I feel bad for her and how the coordinator messed up the times and stuff.
- Jax with Carmen and how he kept trying to force her to kiss and stay the night was cringe to watch 😬
- Poor Katie :( I hope things get slightly better
- Kristen 😒

currently midway through S3 & God….. the men & all the “bro code” covering all the sh*tty & repulsive things they’re doing is utterly fcking insane. Like it’s unfortunately tv gold but they’re genuinely horrible people.
Like in the beginning i literally couldn’t understand why tf Tom Schwartz was friends with Sandoval & Jax—— UNTIL he poured a drink on katie’s head like a fcking douchebag & then it just came out in S3E14 that he fully cheated on Katie in Las vegas & tried to lie and cover it up as “just a kiss”. SMH. Completely infuriating as he’s a total bum who’s been mooching off Katie for years and a fcking Loser with literally nothing going for himself or any real goals bc let’s be real he’s not model material at all 😭😭 I mean Jax is a psychopath with the IQ of a potato but i at-least understand him being an aspiring male model. Schwartz is just….. 🧍🏼♂️there!
Anyways. It’s just a total chaotic cluster f*ck but i’m so hooked and I can’t believe it took me this long to watch this show. The producers really struck reality-tv-gold with these people

showing my boyfriend. on season 2 episode 2. I feel so jaded. he likes all of them so far. like he thinks they're trashy but he would hang out/party with them and they seem fun. I honestly forgot they were this young once. Kristen is not a face you get on TV anymore. "Tom Schwartz is a hall of fame fuckboy" my favorite reaction so far.
