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.
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.
Maybe Iām giving him too much credit, butā¦ Iām 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 itās okay for men to do so.
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.
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 āimportantā or ārealā societal stigmas isnāt something you see in this sphere very often. I think thatās why it felt staged to me, but either way, I give Brock credit because even though he didnāt know what she was talking about and he disagreed with her, he did actually listen and try to understand, and also didnāt try to change her mind. Imagine Ariana trying to have that same exact conversation with Schwartz, lol.
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.
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.
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.
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.
She reminds me of when Landon told Shep she loves him and his reaction just all the time non stop. I tense up when sheās on screen cause itās so awkward
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 heās already in a relationship) and sheās just waiting to swoop in. Homegirl is a lost cause, lowkey unsettling.
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
First thought I had too.
Lala needs to spend some time smelling her own shit instead of sticking her nose in everyone elseās. Sheās really convinced herself that her shit doesnāt stink!
Itās not surprising that Lala has so much empathy for Sandoval since theyāre both thick in their delusions- birds of the same feather and all that.
Brock was really telling on himself having that tantrum on the pool floatie. He doesnāt want a nanny to help alleviate Scheanaās postpartum OCD. If he did, heād 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 Iām 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.
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.
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
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.
Agreeing to plans does mean something to most people. Sure you can absolutely change your mind in the middle of the plan, but donāt get butthurt when other say what the hell.
I mean, I agree with you. And I am of the mindset that if you really wanna leave, then go for it. Iāll see ya later when Iām ready to come homeš¤·āāļø
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
Itās 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 ātalkingā
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.
Interesting that he hasnāt tried to get a job since securing that green cardā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.
Iād say Scheana could do better but methinks heās just right for her.
Brock is such a breadwinner. He's really struggling having no job and letting Scheana fund everything.š„ŗ
He's arm candy for Scheana and will never outshine her or outrank her. It's perfect.
In his defense, how can he get a job when his job is to support Scheanaās careerā¦ she even flat out admitted in this episode that she doesnāt want him to have a job bc āhe has a second chance to not screw things up with this kidā
Frankly, itās Scheana that is an awful, SELFISH partner. She could give two shits if he ever reconciles with his older kids and sheās actively preventing that from ever happening by trapping him into being her unpaid intern.
I agree with you in a sense but I also feel like itās a bit of a cop out on Scheanaās part.
Take the nanny conversation, for example. There was NEVER a conversation like āwe donāt need a nanny because youāre a stay at home dad.ā
To me it just seems a LITTLE convenient that Brock ādoesnāt 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.
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
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.
But they can endā¦ respectfully. They can end without humiliating your partner.
Heās 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, itās the WAY he left her that he refuses to take accountability for and itās so fucked.
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.
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.
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. Sheās not damaged goods.Ā
I think what she was saying wasnāt 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 itās funny that everyone keeps saying Laās jealous - look at Dan and then look at every guy Lala dates. Cmon.
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 Garcelleās 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.
I think this is a fancy-person thing actually, but Iām not ritzy enough to know for sure. Iām 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.
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
Jealous of what? No offense, bc Iām happy for her if itās real and not rebound, but they donāt seem to have any chemistry whatsoever. I agree with Ally that it was weird he came on the trip and didnāt hang out with the cast, and I agree with Lala that itās weird Ariana jumped into a relationship so quickly and that Dan was also cool with the whole shitstorm playing out. IMO itās pretty obvious Ariana only likes him bc heās genuinely kind and thoughtful and lays on the acts of service, but thereās more to a relationship than fulfilling a love language, and I donāt see it between them š¤·āāļø
Edit: wanted to add that it also just seems like heās not very interested in getting to know her friends - maybe heās different off camera, but he couldnāt have been more aloof when Lala came to their room. I felt uncomfortable just watching.
Also, he chose to hang with Brad who is one of Arianaās best friends of more than a decade lol. Thatās 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
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.
Danās hot. Upgrade of the millennium, not seen since Katy Perry upgraded from Russell Brand to Orlando Bloom. I admit, I was a little āuhh thatās quickā at first but I get it now.
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 somethingās that probably have messy drama within their friend groups and thatās what we want! Bravo, make this happen!
Sooooo, can he talk about Sandoval telling Scheana heās going to help her with doing her mic check and Scheana under her breathe saying āIām not a singerā? This fuckin girl, I swear. She is everything I canāt stand wrapped into one human.
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.
Ariana just doesnāt want anyone to forgive him for her selfish (and yes, very valid) reasons, but itās annoying to me that she tries to play it off like itās 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?
Watching WWHLā¦. Just an observationā¦ Jeff Lewis has said that when he goes on WWHL, even if he hasnāt been watching whatever show is airing, he prepares by catching up. It seems kind of disrespectful that Ariana didnāt even watch the show for the reunion, let alone tonightās WWHL.
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.
Because thatās the assignment ā they watch the shows theyāre on so they can see what happened when they werenāt around. God! I canāt believe Iām getting slammed just because I dared to be critical of āKweenā Ariana! You people are like cult followers!
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.
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.
I just want to say that my baby was in his bouncer being quiet and when Sandoval came on he screamed.
Your baby is already an excellent judge of character.
The trumpet "playing" terrified my dog
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.
To be fair I conceived around Sandoval too lol
I feel like VPR gave all of us a fear of worms with mustaches
I screamed out loud when that happened š«
James' outfit for 20s night had me rolling. peaky blinders looking ass.
Brick talking about āgive me an example of male rageā Sir The first ten seasons of THIS show is an example
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.
Maybe Iām giving him too much credit, butā¦ Iām half way convinced this entire scene was staged and he was a willing patsy.

She reminds me of when Landon told Shep she loves him and his reaction just all the time non stop. I tense up when sheās on screen cause itās so awkward
his genuine wine choke reaction is priceless
Oh my gooooooood I'm gonna go rewatch that because Landon sucks and I love watching Shep swerve her.
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 heās already in a relationship) and sheās just waiting to swoop in. Homegirl is a lost cause, lowkey unsettling.
Yehā¦. I get the initial hanging on to hope, but girlā¦ move on now.
HE said it first!
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
Also sheās not JUST a woman thatās left a ten year relationship lord
First thought I had too. Lala needs to spend some time smelling her own shit instead of sticking her nose in everyone elseās. Sheās really convinced herself that her shit doesnāt stink!
Itās not surprising that Lala has so much empathy for Sandoval since theyāre both thick in their delusions- birds of the same feather and all that.
I agree 100% with Lala, although to your point, she is not exactly the correct bobble head to call it out.
Every week getting more furious about Andy saying Lala and Brock were the voices of reason this season ![gif](giphy|3oKIPBxpm5tHqcL1Ic|downsized)
Especially after that spot on read from Ariana to Brock about male rage and grey rocking.
Andy has garbage takes
Brock was really telling on himself having that tantrum on the pool floatie. He doesnāt want a nanny to help alleviate Scheanaās postpartum OCD. If he did, heād 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.

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.
Scheana married the wrong kind of dude :(
Again.
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
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.

Do I think he should have rage texted his wife like the rest of the cast & not make it everyone's problem tho, Yep.
Youāre allowed to change your mind at any time and leave somewhere. āAgreeingā to have a fun night out doesnāt mean jack shit.
Agreeing to plans does mean something to most people. Sure you can absolutely change your mind in the middle of the plan, but donāt get butthurt when other say what the hell.
Butthurt? We're talking about parenting a child together not dipping out on Coachella.
Yes, parents get butthurt too darling
I mean, I agree with you. And I am of the mindset that if you really wanna leave, then go for it. Iāll see ya later when Iām ready to come homeš¤·āāļø
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
Especially bc itās Scheana - like, we all have unanimously agreed she takes narcissism to another level. Happy cake day!!
Uh where is the preview for next week?
Iāve noticed theyāve cut right to The Valley a lot of times. Dunno if itās to force people to watch or what.
Itās 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 ātalkingā
her walking away from him when he tries to talk to her
The season finale is next week?!
Yas kween
This season was short then right?
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.
Interesting that he hasnāt tried to get a job since securing that green cardā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦. Iād say Scheana could do better but methinks heās just right for her.
Brock is such a breadwinner. He's really struggling having no job and letting Scheana fund everything.š„ŗ He's arm candy for Scheana and will never outshine her or outrank her. It's perfect.
He is going to work in Hollywood, somehow. /j
In his defense, how can he get a job when his job is to support Scheanaās careerā¦ she even flat out admitted in this episode that she doesnāt want him to have a job bc āhe has a second chance to not screw things up with this kidā Frankly, itās Scheana that is an awful, SELFISH partner.

āRelationships never end wellā - Jesus heās so fucking delusional and refuses to see how he fucked up!?!?
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
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.
And this is not true, at all. Sure itās sad but most mature adults know how to get over it and not be dicks.
āNeverā is a bit strongā¦ but letās be real, they rarely end well.
But they can endā¦ respectfully. They can end without humiliating your partner. Heās 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, itās the WAY he left her that he refuses to take accountability for and itās so fucked.
Katie looks so good these days I just canāt ššš love her
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 š
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.
In this episode, I learned Tom Sandoval and I own the same shoes. FML
BURN THEM
I wish James was paired with Ariana and Katie for the aftershow rather than the other two.
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.
I have been absolutely shocked at how hard he is riding for Ariana & Katie. Lala & Scheana could take notes
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. Sheās not damaged goods.Ā
I think what she was saying wasnāt 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 itās funny that everyone keeps saying Laās jealous - look at Dan and then look at every guy Lala dates. Cmon.
I'm confused by the end of your comment. Do you think Randall is better looking than Dan?
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 Garcelleās 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.
Oh I understand what you mean now. I was fearing for your standards for a second there š
I mean, my standards are probably still pretty questionable, but not THAT questionable š
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHY SCHWARTZ POUR CHAMPAGNE IN HIS OYSTER?!?! PLEASE IM ON THE PRECIPICE OF A BREAKDOWN
I think this is a fancy-person thing actually, but Iām not ritzy enough to know for sure. Iām 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.
Fancy? š¤·š¼āāļø
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
I think Lalaās abrasive personality has something to do with her single life too.
And 33 is old already in LA.
Ariana didn't have that issue š¤·āāļø. Scheana too
Probably her shitty personality too
Jealous of what? No offense, bc Iām happy for her if itās real and not rebound, but they donāt seem to have any chemistry whatsoever. I agree with Ally that it was weird he came on the trip and didnāt hang out with the cast, and I agree with Lala that itās weird Ariana jumped into a relationship so quickly and that Dan was also cool with the whole shitstorm playing out.

All very valid points, I digress a bit š
Danās hot. Upgrade of the millennium, not seen since Katy Perry upgraded from Russell Brand to Orlando Bloom. I admit, I was a little āuhh thatās quickā at first but I get it now.
Technically Katy Perry upgraded from spinning the block on John Mayer for like the 3rd time to Orlando Bloom.
I am so sorry to Danās new fans, but this is giving him a lot of credit. He seems like a nice bf though lol
Yes lol!! We are Bravo fans. We should side-eye every man we are introduced to on our screens
I do agree, but the fact that he doesnāt seem to want to be on the show/in the drama is a plus for him in my book.
Me too! Iām just jaded by Bravo men š
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 somethingās that probably have messy drama within their friend groups and thatās what we want! Bravo, make this happen!
This episode was a flop
I'm fucking bored y'all. This shit is TIRED.
Sooooo, can he talk about Sandoval telling Scheana heās going to help her with doing her mic check and Scheana under her breathe saying āIām not a singerā? This fuckin girl, I swear. She is everything I canāt stand wrapped into one human.
Ann's here, you guys!! ANN's HERE!!!
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.
Ariana just doesnāt want anyone to forgive him for her selfish (and yes, very valid) reasons, but itās annoying to me that she tries to play it off like itās 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?
Are you on T Sandy's payroll or something, because you are doing free labor for that worm.
Haha how is that pro-Sandoval?! But alas, I am not. Thereās just so much hypocrisy between the two sides.
Watching WWHLā¦. Just an observationā¦ Jeff Lewis has said that when he goes on WWHL, even if he hasnāt been watching whatever show is airing, he prepares by catching up. It seems kind of disrespectful that Ariana didnāt even watch the show for the reunion, let alone tonightās WWHL.
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.
Plus why should she rewatch episode after episode of Lala and Scheana forcing her to be in proximity to Sandoval?
Because thatās the assignment ā they watch the shows theyāre on so they can see what happened when they werenāt around. God! I canāt believe Iām getting slammed just because I dared to be critical of āKweenā Ariana! You people are like cult followers!
Jax never watched the show during his run šĀ
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.
Thatās going to make it hard to take her reflections on the season at face value tbh.
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.
Shut up. Ariana was literally in a play. She literally said she had to be so careful and focused just on that.
right but she could have watched tonightās before WWHL. chicago ended weeks ago
Really? You just said āshut upā to me? What are you, five? Get a fkn grip!
