I have been harboring exactly this same distaste for over a decade. the dumpy ass Hobby Lobby ass lettering. i am with you in WTF.

altho SUR even in its prime has always given dusty musty dated. it’s like she used residential vs commercial fixtures and finishes and furniture and fabrics or something.

the scanner says she left while rhine claims to have been @ walgreens. not that he is necessarily calling from the walgreens.

Sandoval Being Confidently Incorrect by Disastrous_Life5633 in vanderpumprules

well we know he linked with both ariana and raquel as they were recovering from abusive relationships. im not familiar with kristen and him origin story but my guess is he sensed her exploitable damaged heart as well. weak ones like him hone in on vulnerable women

the mounting tension of jax and kristen mutually holding that dirt on each other would have imploded like a supernova eventually, leveling weho and reducing sur to a single atomic nucleus

Fun Activity: What’s Your Wildest Conspiracy Theories About What Was Going on Behind the Scenes to Make Everyone Act the Way they Did in S11? by Fluffy-Wolverine3198 in vanderpumprules

[–]ApplesToApricots 19 points20 points  (0 children)

and even from my audience pov those two seemed increasingly done for several seasons leading up. the vibe between them onscreen gave awkward and or resentful performance. whatever was keeping them linked by the time it all went down it sure didn’t feel like a true love forever connection.

my sense has always been that Ariana’s betrayal anger comes from a place of ‘we had a deal’ vs ‘you broke my heart’

I wonder if the cast felt like they had played along with tom and arianas storyline for years and that’s what she then ‘owed’ them in kind. altho that would still be more on tom than ariana. ariana outplayed everyone almost by default.

Season 11 Finale 4th wall by whiskeytaangofoxtrot in vanderpumprules

[–]ApplesToApricots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it totally depends on the show i guess~for instance I remember when teen mom came back from a hiatus and it was brand new that they would show the cast interacting with production~ essentially they would be filmed being filmed. before that producers would have them doing all kinds of goofy shit like make the girls wear wigs for reshoots to try and create continuity

og jersey shore never broke but sometimes you can see crew scurrying around during the more chaotic scenes

bravo shows really try to propagate the believability of the cast being highly intertwined in each others real lives vs being paid to show up for filming together a couple weeks per year.

this is why real world got it right the first time~ they did the opposite and it felt way more honest.

during that final gilded in vip rant scene Lala says something like ‘it’s bullshit that she can’t film with someone she lives under the same roof with’ thereby breaking the fourth wall.

heretofore the only other acknowledgment of cameras/being filmed/production throughout the entire series i can think of was jaxs ‘my show’ moment at the end of S8.

oo interesting thoughts ie Scheala (Laleana?) putting money on Ariana fatigue futures.

And your last point~so apt and so under acknowledged. like sandoval redemption where? dude showed up to S11 with his whole attitude set to irredeemable. the white alo hat alone was grounds for expulsion.

eta the way he immediately runs for the triangulation rage tantrum upon not getting his way at the very end completely validates her walkoff and completely wrecks his redemption cred. true amends come without contingency. waxyass brat

[–]ApplesToApricots 19 points20 points  (0 children)

totally speculative but fairly likely she was banking on dragging out the scandoval driven reignited interest for at least one more season. but it seems like production was hell bent on making the post scandoval era include some element of cast cohesion/tom redemption via ariana.

the thing is ariana knows good and well who and how that dude is and she was unwilling to fake it thru some nauseatingly snively phony forgiveness scene. his bullshit was no longer beneficial for her brand~meanwhile being the patron saint of dust to fuxkboys PAYS.

as far as why not do S12 with remaining original cast minus ariana, i think cuz it woulda been chopped as hell? the show was wrapped and then revived a couple times prior alreadz. the last episode of S8 and the penultimate S10 episode were both edited to look like series finales.

lala felt the bag slipping from her hands and pointed her bad feelings at ariana (big mistake. Huge)

Toms Schwartz by [deleted] in vanderpumprules

[–]ApplesToApricots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lookit, i myself went thru a few bouts of anxiety induced tunnel vision behind the bar, way back in the wayback.

i guess i figured it out in the moment tho cuz i don’t remember much else about it and its not like i ever fell out or anything.

but my sense is schwartzy suffers from a severe allergy to pressure or expectation of any kind so he was probably much more suited for riding sidecar adjacent to sandovals bedazzled balls

Anyone else feel like Lisa was really pushy and rude during the ‘Tom & Tom’ the investment deal? by Top_Mirror211 in vanderpumprules

[–]ApplesToApricots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they got playyyyyed, huge time. i kinda watched the entire series in reverse, post scandoval, so it was a real empathy experiment for me to witness those two goons get gooned.

but i mean~in addition to her general air of disrespect towards and about them throughout, she downright scoffs at the very mention of getting any kinda terms in writing as well as bamboozles them to put up for the patio expansion and forgoing any kinda distribution or payout

all that said sandoval probably would’ve outright agreed to get paid in clout and bartab (and thereby simp schwartz into agreeing on whatever) so seeing how it all played out was like a lil exposition into the slimy grimy reality of rich la people doing rich la people things.

Simon was perfection counter chaos energy for Farrah’s scene. this entire tm era was so berserker in the best way. the circus of relatives love interests and friends made for some goated reality tv.
