TICK, TICK, BOOM
Vanderpump Rules
#1 GUY IN THE GROUP
APPLES SOMETIMES FALL
While Lala Kent’s sperm donor party is the centerpiece of this week’s “Vanderpump Rules,” Tom Sandoval upstages her with a classic pity party.
JO RULES!
The stars of “VPR” are in an endless tug-of-war of where to take the series post-Scandoval, but it’s Tom Schwartz’s scorned lover Jo who steals the show.
NEW RULES
After nearly half a season of snoozy standoff, the notorious exes are finally sharing a screen—and unleashing all their pent-up anger. It’s shocking, yet cathartic, to see.
MEET THE PLASTICS
The “Vanderpump Rules” crew put away pretense this week to be their snarky, catty selves. What a relief.
SANDSTORM ON THE HORIZON
Sandoval blows up on everyone, everywhere, all at different times on this week’s “VPR,” proving he’s his own worst enemy—and the viewers’ best friend. We love a villain arc.
REALITY BITES
Ariana and Katie continue to divide the group—at the expense of the show. The rules of life and reality TV are vastly different, and Lala Kent is here to remind us of that.
SCHEANA’S COME UNDONE
The Emmy for Best Supporting Actress in a Reality TV Program should go to Scheana Shay, especially after her star-making turn during the cast’s recent trip to Tahoe.
