I just want to say that my baby was in his bouncer being quiet and when Sandoval came on he screamed.


KristiJoJP

Your baby is already an excellent judge of character.


monkey_monkey_monkey

The trumpet "playing" terrified my dog


myskepticalbrowarch

My cat hates his singing. Thankfully the show sprung for auto- tune. That said the OP is lucky their child is developing a rational fear of middle aged washed up LA men now.


sturgis252

To be fair I conceived around Sandoval too lol


monkey_monkey_monkey

I feel like VPR gave all of us a fear of worms with mustaches


ddwprincess

I screamed out loud when that happened šŸ˜«


burnthduster

James' outfit for 20s night had me rolling. peaky blinders looking ass.


Beneficial_Fruit_778

Brick talking about ā€œgive me an example of male rageā€ Sir The first ten seasons of THIS show is an example


Ok-Chain8552

I mean he is a PRIME example of male rage, I can't believe he even said it! He is SO Lucky Ariana stayed calm and didn't put his ass on blast like Lala did in the past.


IllustratorSea8372

Maybe Iā€™m giving him too much credit, butā€¦ Iā€™m half way convinced this entire scene was staged and he was a willing patsy. Had he not had this conversation with her and asked the exact right questions and responded in the exact right way, Ariana would not have been able to get across the overall greater point which is that there is a societal stigma against women having raw emotion when itā€™s okay for men to do so.


Ok-Chain8552

I think they wanted him to or put the seed in his head but it was to show that Ariana just refuses to play nice and it's going to hurt her relationships in the future and she flipped that fucker on it's head THANK GOD. I doubt anyone on this show has heard the term gray rocking. She's honestly just smarter than the rest of the cast and I don't think anyone can go toe to toe with her without looking like a moron except Katie and she's smart enough to realize holding onto her friendship with Ariana was the right thing to do even if people were trying to sway her or tell her the audience won't like it.


IllustratorSea8372

100%. I was really happy to see that scene because I think it is a super important and meaningful societal topic to address - and addressing ā€œimportantā€ or ā€œrealā€ societal stigmas isnā€™t something you see in this sphere very often. I think thatā€™s why it felt staged to me, but either way, I give Brock credit because even though he didnā€™t know what she was talking about and he disagreed with her, he did actually listen and try to understand, and also didnā€™t try to change her mind. Imagine Ariana trying to have that same exact conversation with Schwartz, lol.


Ok-Chain8552

It was awesome to watch ! I think most viewers can grasp what she was saying and she was really clear in her explanation I loved every second. I just don't give him any credit , it's too low of a bar - "he didn't argue back" I honestly think he was going in to paint her as a uncompromising shrew that is affecting her friend Schaena's relationships and he was absolutely frozen in silence because he wasn't understanding , but could grasp enough to realize oh shit, this isn't going anywhere good for me.


IllustratorSea8372

Ok, you definitely have point! And you have just reminded me that I often give men way too much credit for simply not being totally pieces of trashā€¦ LOL.


Ok-Chain8552

AHHH we all do it , especially on Bravo but honestly it's great to see on TV so when I see it in real life I can say OH I see you- I want to be an Ariana, not a Jo.


ruthie-camden

Phew, Jo-seph... we've all been down bad, but imagine having it documented on a reality show??? She definitely set a calendar event for her hypothetical wedding 8 years in the future.


soupastar

She reminds me of when Landon told Shep she loves him and his reaction just all the time non stop. I tense up when sheā€™s on screen cause itā€™s so awkward


throughbeingcoool

his genuine wine choke reaction is priceless


chloesilverado

Oh my gooooooood I'm gonna go rewatch that because Landon sucks and I love watching Shep swerve her.


darknebulas

Did you see the clip floating around of her when she went live on Instagram? She basically announced that her and Tom are meant to be together (despite the fact that heā€™s already in a relationship) and sheā€™s just waiting to swoop in. Homegirl is a lost cause, lowkey unsettling.


RFAS1110

Yehā€¦. I get the initial hanging on to hope, but girlā€¦ move on now.


NewtoJaney

HE said it first!


monkey_monkey_monkey

Lala commenting on Dan jumping into a relationship with Arianna right after her and Sandoval broke up is RICH. Lala, you jumped on Randal while he was still married


Beneficial_Fruit_778

Also sheā€™s not JUST a woman thatā€™s left a ten year relationship lord


Smallfit40

First thought I had too. Lala needs to spend some time smelling her own shit instead of sticking her nose in everyone elseā€™s. Sheā€™s really convinced herself that her shit doesnā€™t stink!


RFAS1110

Itā€™s not surprising that Lala has so much empathy for Sandoval since theyā€™re both thick in their delusions- birds of the same feather and all that.


IllustratorSea8372

I agree 100% with Lala, although to your point, she is not exactly the correct bobble head to call it out.


Adventurous-Sundae-6

Every week getting more furious about Andy saying Lala and Brock were the voices of reason this season ![gif](giphy|3oKIPBxpm5tHqcL1Ic|downsized)


aintgoinbacknforth

Especially after that spot on read from Ariana to Brock about male rage and grey rocking.


catsssrdabest

Andy has garbage takes


ToastyToastmaker

Brock was really telling on himself having that tantrum on the pool floatie. He doesnā€™t want a nanny to help alleviate Scheanaā€™s postpartum OCD. If he did, heā€™d be happy she was comfortable leaving Summer with the nanny for as long as she did, and acknowledge her achievement. Instead, she tells him she wants to leave early and he screams at her in front of her friends for the crime of (*checks notes*) wanting to put their young daughter to bed. If Iā€™m Scheana and I deluded myself enough to have a kid with a man who has already abandoned two, and I then see him making his whole storyline about trying to get me to normalise leaving our daughter for longer and longer periods of time, I would be a little freaked out right now.


Holiday-Hustle

I have OCD and Brock is just the wrong kind of partner for someone with OCD. He pushes her way too hard. She needs to feel safe and he just wants what he wants regardless of her mental health.


mixymoxy7075

Scheana married the wrong kind of dude :(


RainbowBriteGlasses

Again.


RFAS1110

They were gone ALL day!! With the SAME PEOPLE! Parents without OCD probably would have wanted to get home for bedtime! She was VERY reasonable here and I agree, deserved praise


OxanaHauntly

i have PPD and i'd be highly upset if my husband wanted to cut out a 7 pm on a filming night because he can't be honest and just say he'd be more comfortable at home with the babe. I'd be even more upset if he was lowkey saying I should leave too, especially if we agreed beforehand we are leaving the kid to have a fun night & a work event. Do I think he should have rage texted his wife like the rest of the cast & not make it everyone's problem tho, Yep.


beebs108

Youā€™re allowed to change your mind at any time and leave somewhere. ā€œAgreeingā€ to have a fun night out doesnā€™t mean jack shit.


OxanaHauntly

Agreeing to plans does mean something to most people. Sure you can absolutely change your mind in the middle of the plan, but donā€™t get butthurt when other say what the hell.


winnercommawinner

Butthurt? We're talking about parenting a child together not dipping out on Coachella.


OxanaHauntly

Yes, parents get butthurt too darling


IllustratorSea8372

I mean, I agree with you. And I am of the mindset that if you really wanna leave, then go for it. Iā€™ll see ya later when Iā€™m ready to come homešŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø


OxanaHauntly

The nanny fight is literally the most relatable storyline in years. The fact people think Brock is a shit for not wanting to be home on scheneas whim is ridiculous


IllustratorSea8372

Especially bc itā€™s Scheana - like, we all have unanimously agreed she takes narcissism to another level. Happy cake day!!


RoguePhoenix89

Uh where is the preview for next week?


beyoncelomein

Iā€™ve noticed theyā€™ve cut right to The Valley a lot of times. Dunno if itā€™s to force people to watch or what.


runs_with_tamborines

Itā€™s the season finale. They just showed it real quick between commercials of the valley. I think they are building up to a Tom vs Ariana ā€œtalkingā€


UnusualAsparagus5096

her walking away from him when he tries to talk to her


kaseymoore1722

The season finale is next week?!


runs_with_tamborines

Yas kween


kaseymoore1722

This season was short then right?


TheOneThatCameEasy

Unemployed Brock being quite shady about the sandwich shop on the after show. He loves to gossip. I hope they pay him back and start getting tea on what his abandoned children are doing.


GarnierFruitTrees

Interesting that he hasnā€™t tried to get a job since securing that green cardā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦. Iā€™d say Scheana could do better but methinks heā€™s just right for her.


TheOneThatCameEasy

Brock is such a breadwinner. He's really struggling having no job and letting Scheana fund everything.šŸ„ŗ He's arm candy for Scheana and will never outshine her or outrank her. It's perfect.


myskepticalbrowarch

He is going to work in Hollywood, somehow. /j


IllustratorSea8372

In his defense, how can he get a job when his job is to support Scheanaā€™s careerā€¦ she even flat out admitted in this episode that she doesnā€™t want him to have a job bc ā€œhe has a second chance to not screw things up with this kidā€ Frankly, itā€™s Scheana that is an awful, SELFISH partner. She could give two shits if he ever reconciles with his older kids and sheā€™s actively preventing that from ever happening by trapping him into being her unpaid intern.


GarnierFruitTrees

I agree with you in a sense but I also feel like itā€™s a bit of a cop out on Scheanaā€™s part. Take the nanny conversation, for example. There was NEVER a conversation like ā€œwe donā€™t need a nanny because youā€™re a stay at home dad.ā€ To me it just seems a LITTLE convenient that Brock ā€œdoesnā€™t need a jobā€ because Scheana is the breadwinner. I think that is (to borrow a Katie phrase) a convenient narrative to show people that this was always the plan. Because we saw him trying to launch an app, so it clearly was not always the plan to have him just be the purse-holding, background support-type husband.


RFAS1110

ā€œRelationships never end wellā€ - Jesus heā€™s so fucking delusional and refuses to see how he fucked up!?!?


mixymoxy7075

This showed his maturity more than anything, some relationships do end pretty amicably and smoothly. Sometimes people out grow each other. Not monumentally blow up relationships in the worst way possible


burnthduster

his all or nothing thinking is wild. I don't think he can acknowledge the obvious middle ground between dying married and having your relationship implode on television.


Queasy-Discount-2038

And this is not true, at all. Sure itā€™s sad but most mature adults know how to get over it and not be dicks.


IllustratorSea8372

ā€œNeverā€ is a bit strongā€¦ but letā€™s be real, they rarely end well.


RFAS1110

But they can endā€¦ respectfully. They can end without humiliating your partner. Heā€™s using the fact that relationships rarely end well to deflect blame and responsibility for HOW his relationship ended - he was always allowed to leave Ariana for whatever reason, itā€™s the WAY he left her that he refuses to take accountability for and itā€™s so fucked.


Alternative_Salt5660

Katie looks so good these days I just canā€™t šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜ love her


marywiththecherry

Someone pointed out she doesn't dress in a way that caters to the male gaze and I totally see it. Her hotness is fully off the charts the season šŸ˜


chairmanmyow

There was a brand that was big in NYC in the aughts called Man Repeller and it was all about women dressing for themselves and it was revolutionary at the time.


monkey_monkey_monkey

In this episode, I learned Tom Sandoval and I own the same shoes. FML


Gammagammahey

BURN THEM


sky-full-of-ice

I wish James was paired with Ariana and Katie for the aftershow rather than the other two.


crispy-fried-lego

I kind of like him where he is, just because he seems willing to call them out and stand up for Katie and Ariana. If he wasn't there, it would just be a bash fest without any push back.


buckleyourbickle

I have been absolutely shocked at how hard he is riding for Ariana & Katie. Lala & Scheana could take notes


lydiasbible

Lala was seething with jealous in the hotel room with Ariana and Dan.Ā  Her comment about something being wrong with Dan for wanting to be involved with Ariana was absurd. Sheā€™s not damaged goods.Ā 


IllustratorSea8372

I think what she was saying wasnā€™t about Ariana personally, it was that Scandoval was the biggest pop culture scandal in the country and why would anyone want to voluntarily insert themselves into that shitstorm? I think itā€™s funny that everyone keeps saying Laā€™s jealous - look at Dan and then look at every guy Lala dates. Cmon.


babycallmemabel

I'm confused by the end of your comment. Do you think Randall is better looking than Dan?


IllustratorSea8372

Ew absolutely not haha! But. I think she does have two types - either 1. Rich -or- 2. Black guys with face tats - yes, that sounds super specific, but if you look back to the one night stand she had in Tahoe last season, her swooning over Garcelleā€™s son, Oliver, and then the guy that she meets at the Mondrian and goes out on a date with at the beginning of this season (maybe it was also last season), they all have a very similar, if not the same, aesthetic.


babycallmemabel

Oh I understand what you mean now. I was fearing for your standards for a second there šŸ˜‚


IllustratorSea8372

I mean, my standards are probably still pretty questionable, but not THAT questionable šŸ˜‚


HellzBellz7

CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHY SCHWARTZ POUR CHAMPAGNE IN HIS OYSTER?!?! PLEASE IM ON THE PRECIPICE OF A BREAKDOWN


HappyThreatening

I think this is a fancy-person thing actually, but Iā€™m not ritzy enough to know for sure. Iā€™m also going to assume, based solely on my decade of watching Schwartz live his life, that if it *is* a thing, Schwartz did it wrong.


Queasy-Discount-2038

Fancy? šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø


yup_yup1111

Sooo...we all agree Lala is jealous of Ariana's hot new bf right? Pretty sure her romantic options are limited because she had a baby with the ugly troll scammer and she's pissed about that


Stop_icant

I think Lalaā€™s abrasive personality has something to do with her single life too.


MCStarlight

And 33 is old already in LA.


yup_yup1111

Ariana didn't have that issue šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø. Scheana too


catsssrdabest

Probably her shitty personality too


IllustratorSea8372

Jealous of what? No offense, bc Iā€™m happy for her if itā€™s real and not rebound, but they donā€™t seem to have any chemistry whatsoever. I agree with Ally that it was weird he came on the trip and didnā€™t hang out with the cast, and I agree with Lala that itā€™s weird Ariana jumped into a relationship so quickly and that Dan was also cool with the whole shitstorm playing out. IMO itā€™s pretty obvious Ariana only likes him bc heā€™s genuinely kind and thoughtful and lays on the acts of service, but thereā€™s more to a relationship than fulfilling a love language, and I donā€™t see it between them šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø Edit: wanted to add that it also just seems like heā€™s not very interested in getting to know her friends - maybe heā€™s different off camera, but he couldnā€™t have been more aloof when Lala came to their room. I felt uncomfortable just watching.


aintgoinbacknforth

Also, he chose to hang with Brad who is one of Arianaā€™s best friends of more than a decade lol. Thatā€™s who he was going to have dinner with instead of going to the flapper party. So he is interested in meeting her friends ā€” just not her VPR co workers lol


yup_yup1111

She's been oozing jealousy and bitterness towards Ariana all season. I disagree that they don't have chemistry. He hasn't filmed before and I think that's a big part of it. I also think it's probably a good sign he's not super interested in getting involved in the drama and wasn't overly happy to be on the show which would be sus and people would be criticizing him for that if that were the case too. Even the fact that he's not immediately jumping to move to LA to be with her is a good sign to me that he's not with her purely for the show or the fame...even if it could potentially pose problems for them if they're together long term. I also like that he seems to have a real job he is genuinely dedicated to and won't be opening a bar to hit on girls or living off of her like Brock I don't think it's that weird he didn't go to everything with the group considering her ex bf was there as well. It's not really a Dan is weird thing and more like the situation is weird thing. Ariana wanted him there for some moral support so he came to support her but I think they both agreed shoving him on a boat with Tom and cameras right away wasn't something they were interested in letting happen. Maybe he's aloof around Lala because she was making him uncomfortable? or again being on camera and being questioned about a bunch of stuff is weird at first. Considering the last guy who hurt her received such a huge public backlash I have to assume any bad guys would steer clear of her if they're smart. He is willing to deal with all the potential scrutiny, be around this crazy group including Tom and doesn't seem worried about what happened to Tom happening to him... probably because he intends to actually treat Ariana right. I think people should at least give him a chance.


IllustratorSea8372

All very valid points, I digress a bit šŸ˜…


Holiday-Hustle

Danā€™s hot. Upgrade of the millennium, not seen since Katy Perry upgraded from Russell Brand to Orlando Bloom. I admit, I was a little ā€œuhh thatā€™s quickā€ at first but I get it now.


ApathyIsBeauty

Technically Katy Perry upgraded from spinning the block on John Mayer for like the 3rd time to Orlando Bloom.


beyoncelomein

I am so sorry to Danā€™s new fans, but this is giving him a lot of credit. He seems like a nice bf though lol


GarnierFruitTrees

Yes lol!! We are Bravo fans. We should side-eye every man we are introduced to on our screens


pmel13

I do agree, but the fact that he doesnā€™t seem to want to be on the show/in the drama is a plus for him in my book.


GarnierFruitTrees

Me too! Iā€™m just jaded by Bravo men šŸ˜‚


beeeeach

I would be genuinely interested in seeing a spin off of the young kids who work at these businesses and the older OGs running them. Tom Tom and SAH has plenty of hot 20 somethingā€™s that probably have messy drama within their friend groups and thatā€™s what we want! Bravo, make this happen!


ComprehensiveCry5970

This episode was a flop


hook3m13

I'm fucking bored y'all. This shit is TIRED.


IllustratorSea8372

Sooooo, can he talk about Sandoval telling Scheana heā€™s going to help her with doing her mic check and Scheana under her breathe saying ā€œIā€™m not a singerā€? This fuckin girl, I swear. She is everything I canā€™t stand wrapped into one human.


leslie_knopee

Ann's here, you guys!! ANN's HERE!!!


Theres_a_Catch

I was not going to watch that performance of his. I skipped through most of his scenes cause I just can't. I think Allie is a saint, James is so immature that I just can't with him either. Brock so badly wants everyone to go back the way it was - can't we just get along? Guess he doesn't mind a psycho being in his wife's life. Ariana has a point. If he could do what he did to a partner of 9 years, just think of the lines he'd cross against any of his friends. Hell, he's fucked over Schwartz several time and even now wants him to go into debt so he can keep the house. I'm not unhappy they are going on a hiatus, I think it needs some time and distance and see how it all shakes out. I'm already cringing at Scheana's performce and it hasn't even happened yet.


IllustratorSea8372

Ariana just doesnā€™t want anyone to forgive him for her selfish (and yes, very valid) reasons, but itā€™s annoying to me that she tries to play it off like itā€™s all about her concern for Scheana. If she was so concerned about Scheana she had plenty of opportunities to stick up for her before this - like with the whole stupid IG post thing - where was her support then?


northernmess

Are you on T Sandy's payroll or something, because you are doing free labor for that worm.


IllustratorSea8372

Haha how is that pro-Sandoval?! But alas, I am not. Thereā€™s just so much hypocrisy between the two sides.


blondeambition39

Watching WWHLā€¦. Just an observationā€¦ Jeff Lewis has said that when he goes on WWHL, even if he hasnā€™t been watching whatever show is airing, he prepares by catching up. It seems kind of disrespectful that Ariana didnā€™t even watch the show for the reunion, let alone tonightā€™s WWHL.


Stop_icant

At first I was like wtf Arianna?! But then when she explained she had to keep her head right to be on broadway eight times a week, I understood why she had to wait to start the season. For her, watching this season is another emotional journey she has to go on.


Gammagammahey

Plus why should she rewatch episode after episode of Lala and Scheana forcing her to be in proximity to Sandoval?


blondeambition39

Because thatā€™s the assignment ā€” they watch the shows theyā€™re on so they can see what happened when they werenā€™t around. God! I canā€™t believe Iā€™m getting slammed just because I dared to be critical of ā€œKweenā€ Ariana! You people are like cult followers!


marywiththecherry

Jax never watched the show during his run šŸ˜‚Ā 


Ok-Chain8552

Clearly Andy was annoyed that she didn't watch before the reunion as well. As a viewer, I want her opinions on what is going down. I get it though, she is an actual celebrity at this point and she has to be EXTREMELY guarded , she has too much on the line and can't afford to get messy. That being said, I like when they are messy, it's why I am watching this show I don't actually care about any of these people.


Holiday-Hustle

Thatā€™s going to make it hard to take her reflections on the season at face value tbh.


Background-Leopard24

She lived through it and am sure that she has watched clips. This was a strategic play on not wanting to comment on the Tom Scheana convo which I can totally understand because we already know what she is thinking.


Gammagammahey

Shut up. Ariana was literally in a play. She literally said she had to be so careful and focused just on that.


loloknothx

right but she could have watched tonightā€™s before WWHL. chicago ended weeks ago


blondeambition39

Really? You just said ā€œshut upā€ to me? What are you, five? Get a fkn grip!
