Starting right off on Part 2 with the continuation of Soap Box BlaBla.
And Sandoval points out – “well I am sitting here taking accountibilty” (he is – other Bravolebs have dodged the reunions due to issues with owning their embarrassing behavior (Natasha – BDM, Dijana Jenkins – RHOBH…and there are probably more. )
BlaBla wants to know – “what has she done?” Well I think, he just said, you never take accountability for any of your shit. Pay attention BlaBla. And let’s all remember we know damned full well you knew Randall was married when you were banging him. She can deny it all she wants. Perhaps initially she didn’t know, but when she did realize it, she stayed with him, bragging on the show that season about her PJ trips. This is why he was kept a secret. Baloney and the gang were trying to call her out on fucking a married man, and she denied it. Accepting a Range Rover from a dude you banged one time? What kind of dude did you think this was ??
LVP points out her aggressive behavior. Okay maybe she DOES have some purpose here. I take what I said about Part 1 back. James tells her she’s sticking up for Tom too much. I think she’s mostly trying to stay neutral. She is pointing out hypocrisy. And that’s somehting these folks don’t want to hear about. James walks away, yet AGAIN.
So right off the bat here, and we’re only like two minutes in, it seems like everyone else (right now James and Blabla) are more devistated than Ariana. So that’s a concern.
BlaBla just likes to be lippy and tell everyone else what they’re doing wrong, so how perfect is this for her?? It’s the perfect fucking script. She’s also using it to recycle the focus back on HER, and what Randall did to HER. She’s been on SM lateley belly-aching about various other scenarios that demonstrate Randall was an asshole. She’s so mad everyone is paying attention to Ariana now, and feeling sorry for Ariana and not her. I guess Randall told her she looked like the exorcist while giving birth. Oh poor fucking BlaBla –being played when she thought she was the player. She probably did look like the exorcist.
What’s the big difference between BlaBla and Ariana?? Ariana really loved Sandoval. Maybe not as much now, he IS annoying, let’s be honest. As she pointed out in the finale scene at their house, she loved him when he was wearing skinny jeans, driving a junker, and broke.
Do you really think BlaBla would have even looked Randall’s direction, a short chubby dude in his mid 40’s, if he wasn’t pretending to be loaded and throwing designer gifts and trips at her.
This is why we just need BlaBla to STFU. But yeah fat chance of that!
Sorry got on a rant. I fucking HATE BLABLA!!
She has an ego the size of this building but “she ain’t a narcissist.” They do normally have very large egos, while at the same time insecure.
“You’re a moron. “No you’re a moron” These two are both dumb as fuck. Listening to them argue is equivalent to say, Teresa Guidice, and who’s another really dumb Housewife?? Lisa Rinna. Yeah Teresa and Rinna. Very un-quick comebacks to each other’s insults.
Sandoval gets in under his breath, “you pulled your IUD the day you found out Stassi was pregnant.”
So that doesn’t really demonstrate narciscism per se. I’m assuming at that point, there was the need to be the focus of attention. Like she was thinking, if Stassi’s poppin’ a kid, so am I. Her having that little girl has nothing to do with normal reasons why women have children. It was all about money and competition.
There is nothing maternal about this woman. Do you guys remember last season when she was a baby, she held her like a prop or accessory, (I think I even did say that) and thought it was cute to hand her to the nanny every time the cameras were around. She thought it made her seem important.
I’m just hoping for the best for that little girl.
The timeline makes sense. Stassi’s daughter is two months older than Ocean. Not that I think Sandoval has a lot of credibility, however, I do believe this statement. That’s so BlaBla.
James returns, Thank God. (I forgot he was gone) Apparently he keeps having to pee. Is he five??
Andy is now focused on BlaBla. Oh Jeez, here we go.
Why on earth is she getting the floor? She’s pretty much had it mostly, anyway, due to her fucking cannon mouth. Why do we need to discuss her and Randall? Wasn’t this 90% of the discussion last year??
She’s funny. She keeps trying to look coy, and sad about Randall (yeah she’s sad there’s no money, she’s sad he made a fool out of her) as she’s so excited that she’s finally the focus. This is a major challenge on her acting skills, right?? Did NOT nail it.
WHO CARES WHEN THE LAST TIME IS THEY SPOKE ‘FACE TO FACE ??’ We know they don’t speak, Andy. Randall, just to be a twat, wouldn’t allow Ocean to be filmed. He knew that would annoy her. So riveting. It’s probably for the best, actually, but his intentions have nothing to do with the child.
‘Casting couch.’ Yes BlaBla knows all about that. She was also a casting couch ‘victim’ if you want to call it that, because she didn’t really care, as long as there was a semi-bougie lifestyle that came along with it.
We are all old enough to remember the shit she was saying when they first met, and were dating, or whatever you want to call it. It was obvi he was a pervo, and treating her in a really demeaning way, like a prostitute, but she did not care at all. BJ’s for PJ’s? Please. And we’re to sit here and feel sorry for her.
Not sure why Andy can’t shut her up once and for all and start rolling those clips.
We’ve been beating up on Sandoval, so can’t we take a little break, and pick on BlaBla. It’s going to get ten times worse for the dude when Raquel comes out. BlaBla is NO BETTER than Sandoval. I think BlaBla would bang her friend’s man in a heartbeat, as long as he had money.
Bla tries to back peddle on how she immediately fucked Randall when she got this ‘part’ that she auditioned for, when James interrupts as she’s asked when she started “sleeping with him.”
No James, it wasn’t the night she got the part, it was their first date, the NEXT night, get it right! She has standards!
My God – this girl. So they do roll this clip they keep playing of her bragging to Stassi in 2018. “We all went out, and I let him hit it. The first time we banged, I got a car the next day.” Being a whore is really something to brag about and tell a kazillion people, BlaBla.
Okay, so at least she made him take her out on a bougie $200 dinner before she fucked him. Now that sounds more like BlaBla. I’m sorry, Andy why is this important? Isn’t this old fucking news??
Clearly he’s just trying to burn time, so they could drag this shit out for three nights.
And then when you think you can’t get more annoyed – does she really play ‘poor naive Lauren from Utah’ didn’t know this is how Hollywood works?? Look how everyone is looking at her !! It says everything. I really thought she said that as a joke.
And ya gotta hand it to Sandoval for this perplexed look, and keeping his mouth shut, when he knows DAMNED FULL WELL SHE’S FULL OF FUCKING SHIT!!
I wanted to keep this brief, but when BlaBla starts babbling, I just can’t can’t stop myself.
Somebody stop me!
Her buddy James isn’t even defending this bullshit- “I knew how Hollywood worked that way when I was like eight.”
BlaBla, everyone knows Hollywood works that way. It’s all who you know and who you blow. You knew what the hell you were doing, when you started fucking Randall the director, and acting like you were all into him, when we know ya weren’t.
Why does no one call her out on being so bogus and trying to not come off as the gold digging skank that she is! Her favorite line is ‘there were red flags that I didn’t pay attention to’ but she has a new thing now – ‘she now has a 30,000 foot view on life.’
I thought she was going to say a $30,000/month bundle of cash named Ocean. (doubt Randall could afford that – but assumed she was going to start talking about money.) The Tom’s would rather put bullets in their heads then sit and listen to his. Well, Sandy anyway. Schwartz may be thinking about his lunch.
Andy had every opportunity here to call her out on that “Ohhh I’m from Utah – I didn’t know…” hot air, but he just let her go.
******
So we break for lunch, and new thing now is to keep it all rolling and have them mik’d during all of the breaks. If I was wearing any of these dresses, other than Baloney’s of course, she could hide an SUV under that thing, I would be eating one carrot for lunch.
Schwartz who I’m fairly certain never does push ups at home, decides to drop down and give us four.
Now the drama with Sandy, who thinks he’s a fucking executive producer, not the skeeviest character on the show, strolls over in his long black pea coat and shades, to Raquel’s trailer, since she can’t be near Scheana. Which wasn’t by design of course. I think she filed that restraining order for this reason.
These two nit-wits just aren’t smart enough (Sandoval should be the adult in the room) to at least act like they aren’t interested in each other, and it was all a mistake, and they were both lonely, that typical spin. Not to mention, they really are NOT what I would call a ‘cute couple.’ They just seem really off. I do keep seeing the pregnancy rumors on SM here and there. Supposedly, she hasn’t been seen in months, and that she’s hiding in Arizona at her grandmother’s. It’s not out of the question, you have to admit.
I think most viewers are just skeeved out by the whole thing. Clearly, he took advantage of Raquel.
Yes she played her part, she should have known better, but clearly she looked up to him, fourteen years older, a veteran of the show, etc etc. I’m sure he was really convincing in his rhetoric of how it would all be okay, and he’d fix everything, and Ariana probably wouldn’t even care anyway. I can just hear it now. I know how these guys operate.
They embrace – he fills her in, as if she hasn’t been sitting here watching the whole entire time. What a dummy.
And, guys listen, before you start getting all judgey, they know that they’re not pathological liars – because they “haven’t lied about anything except the affair.” Do these people hear themselves?
Raquel is immediately all concerned about his and Ariana’s ‘intimacy’ during their affair, and questions why it was said that they had this banner month of banging, when he was telling her otherwise.
And of course Sandoval has a great answer for that. I mean, guys come ON. He’s Tom fucking Sandoval. Raquel looks at him like a disapproving mother.
It just occurred to me that he reminds me a lot of Mark Wahlberg’s character in the 1997 flick, Boogie Nights, where he plays a not very bright kid that leaves home, and becomes a 70’s porn star. He’s kind of a slow kid, and says the dumbest things, really seriously. Like Sandoval.
Like, he’s literally Dirk Diggler in this response to Raquel questioning what was going on, that Ariana would tell Scheana their relationship was in a good place, and they were having sex.
He rolls out this: “She started telling me I was so good at fashion…” Well, there you go, that explains it, Dirk Diggler (he dresses a little like him too.) That’s why he had sex with Ariana, while he had a side chick he was fucking every night and telling her he loved her. Because he complimented her fashion sense.
I don’t mean to sound naive, I don’t think that’s so unlike a dude to do that. My ex-husband and I were having relations regularly, and he was fucking everything in sight.
Now he starts ordering production that he’s “done filming.” They’re like, “uhh, no you’re not.”
This Patrick dude shoots down his request, and he starts having a fucking tantrum. Jury is out on if he wanted to do some coaching with her, (he could have texted her) wanted to have ‘private time’ with her, or wanted to smoke a doobie, we don’t know. Raquel stands up, goes outside, and seems all for it. Or just following him around.
In the end he doesn’t get his way, even though he tells the camera dude to get the camera out of his fucking face, and continues to plead his case to Patrick. Kudos to this guy for handling this forty-two year old toddler, and making him understand that he’s not special, and has to follow the VPR filming rules.
No one else is able to get rid of the cameras for their ‘breaks.’ And he of all people with this juicy shit going on, is certainly not. He acts like he’s never done this before.
“I don’t feel relaxed, she doesn’t either. I like how he’s speaking for her. She actually seems fine. He’s the one going nuts.
“We have to watch what we do and say…”
Way to advertise that you’re lying and hiding something, genius.
Yeah, I think he wanted to get high. That would make sense with the ‘relaxed’ comment. Raquel is looking at him like she just wants him to shut up, and stop being embarrassing.
******
We’re back post lunch, and Ally has joined the party. She gives her guy accolades and claims he has proved that he’s not the same dude from past seasons. She calls him ‘lovely.’ Okay, how much was she paid by James’ mom to say that. Hope it was at least four figures.
Andy inquires about the angry outburst that James had at the Thanksgiving with Raquel, which is according to her, what lead her to her final decision to break up with him.
We all knew her parents hated James, so apparently her Dad started giving him shit at Thanksgiving, which was probably funny. (where were the cameras then?) Then he unleashed a barrage of insults on Raquel about her parents on their drive home.
James claims it was all deserving, since they said nasty things to him, and his mom talked about his dick size and whether or not he was circumcised. Okay, what is happening here?? Andy even seems thrown for a loop.
He asks Ally if she noticed he seems ‘triggered’ by anything Raquel. She brushes it off as just another one of his triggers and goes on to explain how they have both cut down on drinking, and she doesn’t like when he overdoes it.
Baloney, in her black tent wonderfulness snickers at this. Like, what’s bad about doing that? Yes I agree James should have stayed sober, but it’s hardly snicker worthy. It’s possible they’re embellishing, but whatever, I just can’t stand smug and smirky Baloney. She has a built in tent in case she decides to go glamping. Maybe she should go now. What was her whole schtick all season? Whining about Schwartz, and bitching at him, just like every other season, for the past ten fucking years. How dare he move on with his life since they are completely separated and getting divorced. She’s an ASSHOLE.
Sandoval intervenes complaining about an event in Atlantic City where James got shitfaced and caused a whole big scene and ruckus. He gets defensive and starts bragging about his DJing income.
And nobody asked you BlaBla – a gold digger, banging a married man, snogged James when he was with Raquel, and now you get on soap box after soap box about relationships and loyalty. Shut up.
Sandoval gets dragged for saying when HE gets shit faced, at least he doesn’t smack random girls on the ass.
Another Dirk Diggler moment. They all gang up on him, and are like, “yeah you just fuck your girlfriend’s best friend!” Well he walked right into that one. James walks off. What is this dude on?
And do we have to revisit that insanity between Schwartz and Baloney in Mexico, where she charged in to their bougie dinner, and as usual, starting telling Schwartz what the hell he was allowed to do, and how she should be the most important person in his life, even though they don’t have children, and she ditched him a year ago, and has been with other guys since day one of asking for a divorce.
This is stuff that Katie Baloney actually feels and puts out into the universe.
Even when she explains it, she talks about herself as if they are husband and wife, and she can’t comprehend him being friends with Brock, when they just met a year ago. What is wrong with her? Now he’s not allowed to be friends with Brock? Schwartz had to prioritize HER at Scheana’s wedding. People don’t see a problem with this girl?
******
Raquel has her dress on, and is getting the finishing touches to join the party.
And the – ‘was it a punch, or was it not a punch’ controversy. And does it really matter? Why not just use the word ‘attacked?’ Okay, here’s what I think: I think she probably did make some semblance of a fist, which generated some semblance of a punch. I actually think making a fist (even girly style) is kind of an automatic reflex that you don’t even realize, when you’re in a physical altercation, and in the heat of the moment. And yes, she could still make a fist, even with her long pointy fake ass nails. She keeps insisting that she can’t make a fist, because of them. In her confessional on the show, she literally makes a fist while swearing she can’t. The reason why her nails didn’t stab and penetrate her hands is that she didn’t hit her hard, or barely even at all. Just enough to make the most minute of marks.
Hence the reason that Raquel had a small cut on her face, and not a black eye or broken nose.
Scheana is not permitted to say anything due to the restraining order. She proudly shows her nails to ‘prove’ she can’t make a fist. And as I said, it’s so asinine.
Sandoval hims and haws when asked if he thinks Scheana ‘punched’ Raquel until finally he says that Scheana said on the phone that night, “I punched that bitch in the face!”This is so ridiculous. So what! Raquel had a teeny scratch on her face!
And Scheana should be owning this shit! I’d be proudly saying ‘I punched her in the face, I did a bad job at it, but whatever!’
BlaBla and her finger get involved of course. Because SHE knows.
Scheana orders Sandoval to shut up.
She then shares she had suspicions, about them, and outlined it all to Ariana, and Ariana didn’t want to believe it. Raquel thinks she knew but was just letting it go, because she didn’t really care.
Andy oh so dramatically presents Scheana with a document that dismisses the court hearing for the restraining order.
And here we go, BlaBla making it about her.
Then Scheana goes into a too long diatribe of how this is affecting HER.
Raquel watches looking unfazed. She tells a staffer maybe she should have written her a note to put with the court document.
Poor Sandoval has it coming from both sides as Scheana and Ariana unleash.
Scheana exits the stage, but before she does she gives Andy an album since he randomly said in 2013 she will have a record in 2023.
Andy tells Schwartz to move down one to be by Sandoval and Ariana says “no he’s not.” He complies. Not sure why that was so bothersome to her. Just not wanting her to be right beside Sandoval, I guess? She and Sandoval sat there holding hands at the reunion in front of Kristen, but okay.
I’m not hating on Ariana, but she does need to remember Tom was in a relationship when they got together, so maybe she should lose this arrogance.
Well here we go. Schwartz pops a xanex. It’s showtime.
