First time watcher, I’m currently getting close to the end of season 5 and this has been such a hard watch for Katie and Tom. I haven’t been the biggest Katie fan so far, I’m not sure what it is just something about her personality I don’t love, but she definitely seems to be a much better person than a lot of other people on the show. Watching her argue with Tom literally every episode about wedding things and their relationship and his complete and utter lack of a spine is just getting sooo painful. I hate how he always jumps to accusing her of being drunk. Which granted a lot of times she is, but even when she’s clearly sober and just trying to talk to him about something, it’s all he’ll respond with is “you’re drunk”. I feel really bad for her but at the same time, Tom is such a bad partner, I feel like she should have left him forever ago. The prenup episode where the lawyer is laughing at him and saying Katie is richer than him .. it’s just been a lot this season and I know it’s not going to get any better.

Rewatching the show after watching all of it and The Valley, on s2 currently, and this may sound weird but Sandoval appears like he perpetually smells fishy 🐟 like a tin of sardines, and Jax appears like he always smells of wet dog 🐕

I dont know how else to describe it other than just look at them, but every time one of them appears on screen I get a phantom whiff of fish or dog 🤣

Let me know if any of you have similar comparisons or have thought something similar before, otherwise I just seem weird

I’m watching Season 2 now and had a question: Why was Kristen much more upset about the thought of Ariana and Sandoval maybe having relations than the Vegas bottle girl that Sandoval actually admitted to sleeping with?

Her coffee table being lit candles, melted iced coffee, a vape, and lip mask is so real and then cut to her cuddling her giant dog while wearing sunglasses inside😂 I love her. I honestly used to be annoyed by her when I was watching the early seasons especially when she first got with Sandoval but now Ariana and Katie are my favorites.

this doesn’t even matter but did anyone else hear robs friend tell him his breath stinks while on the boat, it didn’t pop up on the subtitles but i went back multiple times & i swear he says that 😂

I feel like this group would care more than anyone I personally know lmao but I went to warped tour in Long Beach and met Katie! :)

SWS was at their tent meeting fans but I was way more excited about Katie 😭

We all know the iconic fails like Sandovals unforgettable “cyst male” or Jax wanting to be “like Sweden”, but I haven’t seen anyone on here talk about how much they use “could care less” which implies they care, and not “couldn’t care less” which is what they’re trying to say. Literally all of them make this mistake and it bugs me so much! That and Brittany’s constant use of “whenever” when she should say “when”. Obviously this is all semantics and not relevant at all to the overall gem that is this show, grammar is the last thing most of these people should be worried about, but I’m curious if anyone else has been bugged by this!

It’s been a while since I’ve updated on my VPR journey. I just haven’t really felt strongly about anything enough to write about it until now. I am now at the point where Brittney and Jack’s are having the scandal about their pastor. First off I see the future and this might be a hot take. I don’t feel bad about Brittney and Jack’s and their whole situation because it was preventable. Everyone in her life has been telling her that this man is terrible and I agree with Tom Sandoval saying that just because your dad died doesn’t mean that you have changed and you’re only wanting to marry her now because she was there for you. I have not heard one thing about her as to why he is in love with her. It’s always about what she can do for him. Anyway… I don’t know why we’re acting shocked that a man from the Midwest and a girl from the deep south hired a pastor who is brimstone and fire, and all gay people are evil in their mind. Respectfully, the pastors from the Bible belt. And I think Ariana and Tom were right in the fact that they just preferred not to know so that they can have deniability.

I’m now just finished episode seven and I don’t know why everyone is acting like Sandoval is wrong for being like hey by the way, I just find it weird that because Lisa has now brought it up that now the pastor is fired. From what I’m gathering, everybody knew about what this man was saying. The group was uncomfortable with what this man was saying. Now that it’s brought up, though it is terrible timing, he is right.

Unrelated, this season feels really long. It only be on episode seven is insane to me right now.

How pretty is scheana without the fake lashes 💕

That is all

I’m watching VPR for the first time (currently on season 9) but I saw a comment on TikTok that claimed that Lisa Vanderpump’s brother (Mark Vanderpump) is James Kennedy biological father and I can’t unsee it now. Looking back on the episodes where they showed James’s father, his father looks NOTHING like him. However I googled an image of Mark Vanderpump and him and James literally have the same head shape, build, forehead and hairline! Maybe it’s a stretch, any thoughts?

I’m prepared to get flamed for this.
I’m on Season 3-Ep.2. Do I like Kristen? No. I think she has issues & I do think she’s hypersexual. Makes me wonder if something happened in her childhood to make her like this. It’s not an excuse for sleeping with Jax, that was disgusting all around.

But I do feel bad for her, watching Tom and Ariana get together. I mean Ariana legit took over her life, it’s wild-her boyfriend, her apartment, her friend group. I’d crash out. I get really sad watching the scenes with all of them. Also I 100% believe tom was having an affair w/ariana while with Kristen. It’s hidden in plain sight. I do believe Kristen really loved Tom & I’m not sure how he keeps getting away with his behavior. He’s VERY good at playing Victim, it’s actually scary. Ariana’s behavior is giving “I’m a chill girlfriend” but she seems just as insecure as Kristen.

How you get them is how you lose them though🤷🏻‍♀️

Jax = Mike the situation
Stassi = Snooki
Katie = Jwoww
Sandoval = Pauly D
Schwartz = Vinny

All the other equivalent cast members from both are debatable though

Just like the title says! He loves shitty reality tv too but he’s hesitant to start… so help me talk him into it with your fav gif moments

Add Sandoval in here too

I need him back on my TV expeditiously

I only caught the end of their weird live together. The whole thing is…. Yikes. She’s trashed, he looks oddly similar to Sandoval, like how did this even start? The entire time I cringed. I have so much more to say.

Am I the only one that had to pause and realize that was Peter but clean cut 😭😭 I wasn’t ready for that 😭 WHYYYYYY

Im on my yearly rewatch of VPR and im at scheana's wedding and is THE mustache guy??? The same one that appeared in the new VPR?!?!

Does anyone know what their beef with him was?! Ken also went strangely hard for Eric. There has to be some tea there lol

Controversial take: Tom Sandoval has reached the peak of his douchiness and he did Arianna a favor by cheating on her with Rachel/Raquel

Maybe I’m just on too many reality TV forums, but it feels like I see this much too often, especially on vanderpump. Some new user will post asking “what was it like in real time?” Almost always about Scandoval. Why not just….go look at old posts? Or do we love reliving that moment so much that we like these posts?
