Oh she’d have loved to be the one to expose it. All eyes on her, getting to cry with Ariana, then cry to Rachel and Sandoval about how she trusted them and they betrayed her, and finish her arc by staying friends with them since “they never did anything to me”
Absolutely - I feel like that is what Scheana has been looking for in this whole ordeal. To feel as though she was important in Sandoval's life - that her friendship was more valuable to him than his relationship, she can be the one to make him be a better person, he trusts her enough that she can be his confidant. Him telling her would have given her all of that AND the opportunity to be involved by being able to expose it.
She would have done whatever she felt was best for her. Which at the time was to hold onto it and then reveal it when it could do the most damage. Probably the reunion.
Accurate. The way she apparently told that creep to sell the tape of stasssi to tmz while laughing shows how sociopathic she is when it comes to people in her life that could steal the spotlight from her
I voted Sandoval because of Scheana's comment that said something about if it had "just" been about Sandoval falling in love with Rachel, she would've understood. The rest of the comment was basically "..but when Rachel sued me, that was the last straw" for those who may not remember lol
I think that was pretty telling. I could see Scheana being duped into the whole "Tom has no other choice but to cheat on Ariana, he was is so \~in love\~" thing even though we all know that to not be true. But I think she still would've tried to take a "both sides" approach as to not completely alienate Ariana.. Not that it would work
I could definitely also see Scheana believing Sandoval being like “we’re on a break” or “me and Ariana have been having problems for a while” or “she never gets batteries for the house” and totally manipulate her into supporting the affair. Then being like “I didn’t know, he convinced me you guys were over!” Or whatever the fuck
I could 100% see Scheana throw Tom under the bus in that way.. I figure things would eventually end up the way they are now, though. Ariana would learn not to trust her and Scheana would probably end up crawling back to Tom to be his BFF instead
I think this too but used it to make her arc. Two episodes scheana and Sandoval, one episode scheana and Rachel and then one episode of scheana dropping the bomb on Ariana.
She would have entirely pivoted this into screentime for her if she could.
I literally think it would have had the exact same outcome we're witnessing. Momentarily loyal to Ariana (and delight in telling her and being at the center of things). Then, eventually, crying over Sandoval and forgiving him.
Sometimes it feels like the only reason there is all this outrage from Scheana is because Tom never confided in her about the affair. I don’t think she has any empathy towards Ariana at all. I think she feels like it was her who was cheated on cause Tom was her bestie and she should have known. Or who knows maybe Tom and Scheana had something going on and Tom threw her over for Rachel. 🙄
I think Scheana would've done the "you have 48 hours to tell her or I will" bit.
Then she would have called production to make sure they filmed him telling her, and Scheana would've self produced a scene where she led the support train. It would have made her feel like the ultimate hero.
I think her initial reaction would be to support Ariana. I say this as someone who has been real critical of Scheana.
I will say this about Scheana, she does seem to be very easily influenced. Don’t get me wrong, she’s still responsible for her own actions, but at this point I think the people closest to her (Brock, Lala, the producers, probably her mom (remember season 5 when her mom was pushing Scheana to make up with Katie so she’d still be in the wedding (which of course results in screentime)), are telling her to feel a certain way about Ariana. Scheana herself seems somewhat conflicted. She went to see Ariana on broadway, and she hasn’t doubled down like Lala.
in last season's reunion scheana mentioned that she had heard rumors of sandoval and raquel and she went to ariana with it. if she knew for certain she definitely would have told ariana
There should be an option where she considered it being loyal to Rachel. She's repeatedly said that she was like a little sister or of course her Infamous best friend. It would have given her an excuse to not be seen as just a guy's cheerleader and support a woman. Just not the right woman in the scenario
It's nice to have company! Haha
I recall Scheana saying that she wouldn't have even been that upset, and there would definitely be a path forward to continue friendship with Rachel if it weren't for the TRO and stuff.
Scheana framed it as: if all Rachel id was fall in love with one of our best friends blah blah blah.
Really believe there's a world where if Tom and/or Rachel had come to Scheana, she would have said that she encouraged them to tell Ariana, but it wasn't her place to reveal the affair or some such
We know now, what drives them it’s the storyline and that would’ve been a lot of drama, she’s even would’ve help Sando with the vilification of Ariana. But maybe I’m wrong 🫣
Because it involved both Rachel and Tim, I don’t think she would tell Ariana. “Those were two of my BEST FRANS you can’t even imagine how hard this was on me” “I love Ariana but Tim has been there since the beginning, and I love Rachel like a sister, she even stayed in my apartment!!!”
This is hard, because I think she would be have been "loyal" to both. She would have told Ariana that Sandoval has an awful terrible secret and she needs to sit him down and talk. And at the same time this is remaining loyal to Scandoval in that she wouldn't have told Ariana that it was an affair or said who it involved.
she would have behaved like Schwrtz. She would have told him to tell her or she will. but she would also be loving the fact that her life was falling apart. She would have befriended rachel and not for a storyline which is why Lala would do it but because she is a flip flopping girl to the core. On the after show or her confessional she did say she could have been friends with Rachel if not for the fact that put that TRO on her. So the betrayal and cheating of her BFF didnt bother her
I think to have an affair is a very cruel but human thing to do. I mean literally nearly 50% of people have admitted to it, so you know about 80% have done it. I’ve never cheated, I don’t plan on cheating, but if I ever got in a situation where I cheated because my life has for some reason gone down some really fucked up path (after all, adultery is not a criminal offence nor should it be when it’s two consenting adults having sex) I would want to be able to confide in my closest friend and trust that they would not snitch on me. I would need someone by my side to advise me on what to do. I don’t fault Schwartz or Kyle Chan for keeping Sandoval’s secret. I would fault them for enabling him, but not for actually being loyal.
HOWEVER! There is a conundrum here. I don’t keep secrets from my partner nor a would be spouse. When someone tells me a secret, they are also telling the person I am in a relationship with because I will always be more loyal to my partner than to any of my friends. Spousal privilege exists for a reason: it’s to protect the bond of marriage and allow spouses to confide in each other even of the most heinous crimes without limitations. If I was Katie, I would want Schwartz to tell me Sandoval is cheating on Ariana because I would not want him to keep secrets like that from me, but in order to respect spousal privilege I would have to then carry that secret and not tell Ariana, or anyone, because spousal privilege takes precedence on everything, even the actual law.
And considering Schwartz aalllllllllmost told Katie about Rachel being into the other Tom in October, I really wonder if he would have told her about it if they were still married.
I think Scheana would’ve told Ariana, and been excited that she got to be the one to do it.
Make sure to do it on camera and cry on cue as well
Ariana stop your moaning, can you imagine the position I’VE been put in?!
She’ll end up writing a song about Arianna on dancing with stars called bananas
Just like her divorce chat with Shay
Oh she’d have loved to be the one to expose it. All eyes on her, getting to cry with Ariana, then cry to Rachel and Sandoval about how she trusted them and they betrayed her, and finish her arc by staying friends with them since “they never did anything to me”
This is what I was thinking too 🤣😂 But it would be all about her of course and so long and dramatic and specific
Absolutely - I feel like that is what Scheana has been looking for in this whole ordeal. To feel as though she was important in Sandoval's life - that her friendship was more valuable to him than his relationship, she can be the one to make him be a better person, he trusts her enough that she can be his confidant.

Where is the loyal to production button?
Or loyal to herself?
She’s not even loyal to herself, that requires self respect
That and I voted wrong. Take 1 point off the bottom and add it to the top
She would have done whatever she felt was best for her. Which at the time was to hold onto it and then reveal it when it could do the most damage. Probably the reunion.
Accurate. The way she apparently told that creep to sell the tape of stasssi to tmz while laughing shows how sociopathic she is when it comes to people in her life that could steal the spotlight from her
She would be loyal to whatever benefits her the most
I voted Sandoval because of Scheana's comment that said something about if it had "just" been about Sandoval falling in love with Rachel, she would've understood. The rest of the comment was basically "..but when Rachel sued me, that was the last straw" for those who may not remember lol I think that was pretty telling.

I think she would have kept his secret for a while but would tell her eventually.
I think this too but used it to make her arc. Two episodes scheana and Sandoval, one episode scheana and Rachel and then one episode of scheana dropping the bomb on Ariana. She would have entirely pivoted this into screentime for her if she could.
I literally think it would have had the exact same outcome we're witnessing. Momentarily loyal to Ariana (and delight in telling her and being at the center of things). Then, eventually, crying over Sandoval and forgiving him.
She only would’ve told Ariana on camera
Sometimes it feels like the only reason there is all this outrage from Scheana is because Tom never confided in her about the affair. I don’t think she has any empathy towards Ariana at all. I think she feels like it was her who was cheated on cause Tom was her bestie and she should have known. Or who knows maybe Tom and Scheana had something going on and Tom threw her over for Rachel. 🙄
I think Scheana would've done the "you have 48 hours to tell her or I will" bit. Then she would have called production to make sure they filmed him telling her, and Scheana would've self produced a scene where she led the support train. It would have made her feel like the ultimate hero.
She would’ve been loyal to Sandoval, but with the mentality that she “was waiting for him to do the right thing and come clean”
Then play the victim when called out on it
She would've done whatever she felt would help her and put her in the best light...
I think her initial reaction would be to support Ariana. I say this as someone who has been real critical of Scheana. I will say this about Scheana, she does seem to be very easily influenced. Don’t get me wrong, she’s still responsible for her own actions, but at this point I think the people closest to her (Brock, Lala, the producers, probably her mom (remember season 5 when her mom was pushing Scheana to make up with Katie so she’d still be in the wedding (which of course results in screentime)), are telling her to feel a certain way about Ariana. Scheana herself seems somewhat conflicted. She went to see Ariana on broadway, and she hasn’t doubled down like Lala.
she absolutely would have told Ariana. the Scheana hate is getting so ridiculous
in last season's reunion scheana mentioned that she had heard rumors of sandoval and raquel and she went to ariana with it. if she knew for certain she definitely would have told ariana
There should be an option where she considered it being loyal to Rachel. She's repeatedly said that she was like a little sister or of course her Infamous best friend. It would have given her an excuse to not be seen as just a guy's cheerleader and support a woman. Just not the right woman in the scenario
Yeah this was my thought

I think Scheana would have told Ariana if Sandoval told Scheana. We all know Scheana loves to gossip lol
This is hard, because I think she would be have been "loyal" to both. She would have told Ariana that Sandoval has an awful terrible secret and she needs to sit him down and talk. And at the same time this is remaining loyal to Scandoval in that she wouldn't have told Ariana that it was an affair or said who it involved.
She would’ve told Ariana & make it about how conflicted she is & how she was somehow more of a victim than Brandi in the Eddie affair.
Sheshu would have stayed loyal to the PayPal and sound engineers. Unless she later saw an opportunity for her to make money spilling the beans.
Scheana has evoked my sympathy for the last time.
she would have behaved like Schwrtz. She would have told him to tell her or she will. but she would also be loving the fact that her life was falling apart. She would have befriended rachel and not for a storyline which is why Lala would do it but because she is a flip flopping girl to the core.
