Reality TV this week

[cleo29]

I just watched 90TOW and I hate to say this, but I kind of feel sorry for Yohan. Danielle is so dismissive of him. 

I started watching MAFS-UK- and it seems interesting but more of the "experts" matching people who are not suited, the single father of 4 who they matched with a woman who does not even know if she wants kids.

I can not wait for the shit to hit the fan on VR on camera!!!
Skip the season and go right for the reunion!

I'm here for all of the VPR drama. When it all went down I was rewatching S3, which is the season Tom and Ariana officially got together. It's weird watching it again knowing what just happened.

[pumpkincat]

The editing for yesterday's episode of VPR was amazing already. I wonder if they went back and picked more lines from Sandoval/Raquel to make them look even worse since everyone knows what's gone down.

I'm so wrapped up in this stupid VPR drama after being on the "this show needs to go" bandwagon last year.

[fivechickens]

There is a VPR marathon on Bravo today. Kid’s have a snow day (which means I do too) so here I am watching. I was never interested in this show until the Scandoval stuff.

I listened to Scheana’s podcast so you don’t have to. It had Kristen and Lala on it but they couldn’t discuss much. I do, however, recommend listening to Kristen’s podcast. She didn’t have to hold back, and she gives details/confirms a lot of the things that we have been hearing.

I have to admit that every single time I listed to Watch What Crappens and they imitate Scheana, I cackle.

What did you guys think of LVP offering only their initial investments back? I know their $ is a drop in the bucket for that place and COVID probably still has them not operating too much in the black, but it did seem like it wouldn't be enough. But I also have no idea what the terms of their agreement was.

Lala stated on IG yesterday that they didn't go back and re-edit the episodes.

I think lisa is smart to offer their share back and get rid of them once and for all.

Oh I do too. I would just have sweetened the offer a little to be rid of them and their absurd nonsense.

Also Lauren from Utah needs to stfu.

Yes. She is terribly smug for someone who not only cheated with James but was with a dude cheating on his wife and kids. 

[basilosaurus]

Top chef is back fyi. I haven't watched yet but the trailers looked intriguing

I heard that lisa only offered the initial investments back because the Tom's took their percent of profit as salary since opening instead of reinvesting it back in the restaurant like lisa. This may have been mentioned on WWHL Wednesday? Can't remember where but I thought it came straight from LVP.

Regarding Lala- her IG live from Friday/Saturday was entertaining but now I feel like she's trying to capitalize on this too much. The "send it to darell"* video and merchandise is so stupid. The video wasn't funny. And despite Raquel's wrongdoing in all of this, you won't convince me she's not being victimized if this video is spreading (even if she consented to tom having it- which is up for debate- she did not consent to the others)

*cast got a cease and desist regarding spreading the video of Raquel, i.e. sharing what could be classified as revenge porn. Lala tried to be a hard ass because "i don't want to see that, send it to darrell[her lawyer]"

The LVP thing makes sense. Thanks!

Also, I totally agree with Lala. And why on earth would anyone buy that crap? It's not that damn funny. 

[spindle92]

so I just spent some time on tiktok reading the latest and Rachel (Raquel's real name) is an idiot.
She filed a restraining order against Sheana claiming that she punched her in the face last week after the WWHL episode when everything came out.
Sheana is denying it.
Rachel posted a picture on social media a couple days ago saying "look at my face and these bruises around my eye."
But she forgot to take down a post from November showing the exact same bruises under her eye.

This shit is better than ANY daytime soap opera ever!

[mags]

I used to feel slightly sorry for Raquel when she was putting up with all of James BS. Nope, I am kind of thinking she had everyone fooled and she is a back stabbing, no girl code, fox.

Anyone watching Survivor this season? It's too early in the season to remember any names but there are a few people who show some promise for being interesting.

[Jalapeñomel]

VPR bought themselves a couple more seasons, methinks.

Yes, but it’s never really interesting u til they get closer to the merge. But I’m loving the insider stuff on TikTok.

I’m kind of here with Scheana as well. She was with a married man knowingly for 2 years

we just watched the first episode. I’m looking forward to it. But they were a bit “much” about what an international food city london is. I think most major cities these days are major food cities. London - while a great location - isn’t really unique on that front.

Yep. They are all very much pot and kettle for sure.
