Finale! Oh my God? I’m so late getting to my recap – busy week!! And I’ve been so ready to dive in.
So many goings on! So much to say! Lotsa social media about the future of VPR especially with the way they wrapped up with the flashes of all of them in the first season eleven years ago.
I’m going to go ahead with this thought before I forget, about Ariana’s refusal to speak with Sandoval.
And I feel like I have to do my disclaimer that this doesn’t mean I respect nor ‘like’ Sandoval in any way shape or form. The way he and Raquel were carrying on behind her back for months is gross. I’ve been cheated on. Twice now, if you can believe it, with two different guys, both of my ex’s, and it’s so humiliating and hurtful. So I do get it.
This very dramatic “stop talking to me” and “he doesn’t get access to me” and making poor Ann to tell him she’s walking down the stairs at all hours of the night, is absolute fruit loop behavior. I get it, we got a show to do, we need to make it interesting, but it is supposed to be realistic.
Calling an assistant at 8pm to tell her she needs to text your ex that you’re walking down the stairs to leave the house, is lunacy. Isn’t the whole idea of texting so you don’t have to talk to someone, which makes it the ideal communication with an ex. Why couldn’t she text him herself?
This has been nothing more than the good old-fashioned silent treatment which has been around since humans began grunting at each other.
And dudes hate it. She knows that. If she was so concerned about her mental health she would not have remained in that house. That was so she could execute her silent treatment and extra drama for filming. You don’t continue to live with someone who has you traumatized, as she claims. She’s just embarrassed. I’m just so done and over this girl. And I am taking Sandoval’s side in agreement, in the fact that she’s lazy and entitled.
And I’m sure sure she has been judgy and talked terribly about everyone. From Day One, she’s acted superior to the other girls.
I hope she invests and saves her Chicago, DWTS and Love Island money because VPR might not be returning, and girlfriend ain’t gonna be moving from that couch for another ten years at least, after all of this expended energy.
You can’t really deny that Sandoval ran that household and supported her financially. That’s why she was going to ‘kill herself’ if he left her. Not because she was so into him.
And the ‘deadly STD’ bit at the end, I mean, really. You think you were going to get an STD from him screwing Raquel? Especially when by the sound of it, Ariana had sex with him exactly once in that time period.
Also when you dig back into your memory bank and recall they were fooling around when he was with Kristen, was she worried about a ‘deadly STD’ then??
I don’t want to come off as totally disrespectful because I don’ think she’s a terrible person like BlaBla, for instance, but I don’t have respect for lazy deceitful people. I’ve just been having a tough time feeling bad for her.
Of course production wanted her to talk to Sandoval. They just wanted the drama of them either getting into a fight, or maybe her not forgiving him, but possibly just ending the hatred and moving forward and having them hug it out, complete with dramatic music and flashbacks. Yes, Bravo would have loved that, and so would the viewers.
They didn’t give a rat’s ass which, they just wanted something. Is she shocked by that? Like how long has she been doing this? Not to mention she chose to have this all played out on TV. It’s like she wants the best of both worlds. The paycheck from airing the dirty laundry, but also her ‘privacy’ and calling the shots.
She’s reading a little too much into it and flattering herself with her hissy pissy fit at the end, and yelling at production for encouraging him to attempt to speak to her.
Did Sandoval want his moment? Yes. And she didn’t need to give it to him. But she also didn’t need to go scream at production about it.
******
BlaBla’s continuing her vendetta if you want to call it that, towards Dan. Due 100% to jealousy. I don’t think it makes him ‘a square’ because he doesn’t want to entertain getting into a childish brawl with Sandoval, or that he has nothing to say to him.
Scheana crying over Sandoval is getting so old. We can’t have have another season of this. It is time. Time to end it, or revamp the cast.
Shut up Brock. Sit all the way down on your big bubble butt. What the hell do you know? Clearly they were told to push this ‘Sandoval is so great’ narrative when he tells Scheana how Sandoval is a better friend to her than Ariana. What a sausage fest.
“Generous, greatest caring friend.” Dude, get your donkey butt on a plane with your wife’s money, before it dries up, and go see your kids, ya loser! Stop worrying about Sandoval. Jesus How desperate was Scheana to get with this nincompoop? Don’t answer that.
What’s with BlaBla and the hunting gear? As she sits on the trolley and gazes longingly at Dan interacting with Ariana.
Girl is so flipping jealous. She has sunglasses on, but you can tell she’s eyeballing them. She wants her some Dan. She’s trying to act like she’s not staring at them. These people are such bad actors. No wonder they had to resort to reality TV.
The obsession with him interacting with Sandoval is getting absurd.
Do the viewers even care? It seems so not important and juvenile. These are forty year olds!!
Ariana is giving BlaBla some serious side eye as she starts drilling Dan on his work-out regime. Do we think she’s starting to be aware of how her friends interact with her man now?
I wouldn’t put it past BlaBla for one dang second to move in on Dan.
She then proceeds to drill him with 8000 questions. Which are coming off as nosy and intrusive, more so than concerned friend. She could very well have asked Ariana some of these questions if she was so concerned.
She commends him in her yap that he’s not breaking a sweat responding to her interrogation. BlaBla is under some sort of false impression that everyone is afraid of and/or intimidated by her. Pretty sure this dude thinks she’s a joke.
Dan seems to be going his standard answer of “I don’t know him, but I know what he’s done” in reference to Sandoval. I guess it’s a good solid reasonable answer. Half of the country knows what he’s done.
Scheana rolls out her latest sort of ‘poor Sandoval’ rhetoric by again announcing to Ariana one of her convos with him, and claiming that he feels remorse.
Katie dismisses it.
Brock defends him. Schwartz defends him. Whooda thunk?
Ariana shuts it down. I agree with her. A ‘trash thing’ as Schwartz puts it, would be that he got with Raquel once, maybe twice then felt bad and shut it down. Instead they both were energized and became more and more brazen. To me that’s two people with no conscience.
Carrying on this seedy disgusting sneaky illicit affair right under her nose, for several months is not a trashy ‘thing.’ It’s trashy overall behavior and is indicative of your personality and lack of integrity. Even though I say Ariana annoys me, it doesn’t mean I don’t think Sandoval is a scumbag. Both can be true. Raquel as well. She made the decision to continue.
Ariana gets extra dramatic and haughty as usual, and tells Schwartz “you can leave if you want to talk like that.”
You kind of have to remind yourself how she was okay messing around with him before he had broken up with Kristen. And she knew that Florida girl was real, but covered for him when they first got together.
If she doesn’t like it, why can’t she leave? No one forced her here, No one forced her to film this season. She knows these people are his friends.
And as she sits here with her new man on her high fucking horse, to put it mildly, that she began seeing a mere week and one half after Sandoval, she should probably try to act unbothered. Thought she was an actress?
She again threatens Schwartz to ‘watch how he talks in front of her.’
OhhhhhKAY Ariana. Sit all the way down. Jesus. We know. You’re the number one girl in the group and you have to pre-approve all of the convos taking place in your presence. Schwartz of course caves.
Now they all bicker as to who’s defending whom, and why and where and what color underwear they had on yesterday. Dan looks over it and bored as shit.
They lost me during that bitchy bickering session. They all sounded like a bunch of morons. If Ariana was as smart as we’ve been hearing her tell us she is for nine years, she would have sat here canoodling with her new dude, and pretending like she didn’t even hear Scheana when she jumped on the ‘Sandoval feels bad’ non-stop trip to nowhere train.
That was a pointless rerun of the last 14 eps. If Bravo has a brain they would put this show on hiatus or cancel it all together. If for no other reason just to watch Scheana and BlaBla melt down, and have to sell their houses. Poor Brockie, his free ride would be over. He’ll probably ditch her. BlaBla will have to cry to the courts for more child support.
BlaBla is all over her stupid podcast and social media whining up a storm and blaming Ariana about filming being delayed, (or canceled) and how she’s worried about money. Love. LOVE. IT.
POOR BLABLA. Maybe she and ‘Sheesh’ shoulda bought houses they could actually afford in the event there was no VPR paycheck.
How dumb is it to hang your hat on Bravo?? Especially when you’re on a show in it’s 11th fucking year. They get a moment’s notice that they’re cut from the cast, demoted or canceling the show altogether.
******
Brock and Scheana are repulsive to watch. I want to be happy for her, but I think this dude has had ulterior motives from Day One.
So they’re in this hotel room which he had flower petals brought in to be romantic I assume, and what do they immediately do?? Rip each other’s clothes off, since they’re away together without their child?
Why no, silly, they start talking about Sandoval. This is the night she’s doing her fake singing of her terrible song, which I thought was supposed to be ‘Good as Gold’ but it was actually her new terrible song.
******
Schwartz reports back to Sandoval about the noodle place convo in the morning. Why do they keep zooming in on the messy table of half-eaten food in his room?? To show that he had someone there? Are we supposed to care who?? It was probably his fucking boyfriend Schwartz or Kyle.
******
Am I the only Bravo viewer fed up with these constant ‘launch parties?’
Scheana gets all giddy that Sandoval paid for his sound guy to do his thing for her stupid performance at this stupid launch party.
She goes out of her way to be like ‘OMG wait what you paid for this??’
Sandoval looks smug.
Who wants to tell Scheana that shitty people that lie, cheat, and do shitty things, are also capable of doing non-shitty things. It’s not like they’re in their deceitful asshole mode like 24/7. They need to take a break sometimes.
It’s exhausting being a jackass every second of every day, I’m sure.
Also, how else can they get you close enough to them to treat you like dog shit and hurt you, if they don’t also do kind things as well, in order to fool you? It’s science.
Schwartz wants to know why it feels like they’re on an island. Isn’t it called ‘Treasure Island?’
Scheana’s walking around getting ready for her performance, pretending like she’s a good singer.
They flash on ‘Good as Gold’ from several years ago. She sounds like a chipmunk.
I’m finding Ariana’s dress to be unflattering on her, and showcases sort of a pot belly. Maybe it’s the cut of the dress.
It’s clear Jo was invited on this trip purely for the confrontation that takes place between her and Katie. Oh well, free trip, and and free money while on free trip.
Yes Jo is an oddball. But if we’re being perfectly honest, so is Katie. The difference is Jo is a happy oddball and Katie is a miserable one.
I’m sick of Katie’s constant control and odd (if the shoe fits…) hold she seems to have over Schwartz. That, to me, exemplifies a dictatorial type of person.
SHE wanted the divorce. SHE divorced him. They had a terrible relationship. You rarely saw them having fun together. They were never intimate. They have no children. There is absolutely nothing tying these two together, unless you want to count two dogs.
So what Jo went after him shortly after they were separated. Katie was also screwing around shortly after they were separated too. Did she ask for Schwartz’ approval? No.
It’s ridiculous.
Schwartz encourages Jo to join the crowd which includes miserable sour puss Katie Baloney who thinks Schwartz is supposed to sit in his room and cry all night because she divorced him two years ago.
Jo plops down beside her and BlaBla, and proceeds to give this apologetic speech. She really thinks Katie would be receptive? Schwartz is an asshole for pushing this, but the show must go on. At least we’re not discussing Sandoval.
Fast forward to present day, and Jo is currently coming unglued on social media, and Schwartz has asked her to stop talking about him, and blocked her, and that whole thing.
I saw a TikTok today of someone saying something like this is what Katie was saying all along about Jo, and Schwartz should apologize to her. Really now?? Like I said, Katie is just as weird, only in different way.
“Sorry if I ever hurt you” is how Jo starts this convo and Katie is immediately as unpleasant as she can possibly be, not like it’s hard for her, and says “sorry IF?”
I mean yeah, God forbid she tried to date the husband you were separated from and asked for a divorce from.
“It’s weird. You’re weird.”
All right Katie, do you ever watch the shows back? By the way, you’re all pretty weird. Jo actually fits right in. At least she can laugh at herself.
Katie continues to be combative and use verbiage as if she owns Schwartz and he and Jo had no business being with each other. They bicker about the timeline which is irrelevant as long as it was after they were separated, and it was. Let’s point out also, she’s been friendly with Schwartz as of late, and is now only pissed at Jo about it. Not Schwartz. So that’s ‘weird’ Katie.
Katie gets really Katie and starts snarling and yelling that if she needed a place to stay, if shouldn’t have been with Schwartz, that she was divorcing. Again, she’s only mad at Jo.
This isn’t ‘weird’ at all. People that run around calling others ‘weird’ should look in the mirror once in a while. And maybe sit back and evaluate their own behavior.
Katie is such a miserable See You Next Tuesday biatcchh. This is why your husband didn’t want to fuck you stupid. When they were pretending to want to have a baby, I was rolling because they had zero chemistry and clearly hadn’t been intimate in years.
TO BE CONTINUED… Breaking into two parts…
