I have a rule of thumb when it comes to consuming “allegedly” news from dubious tabloids and gossip accounts like Deuxmoi: If it’s about a reality star, especially a star on Bravo, it’s most likely true.
This rule is not entirely foolproof. But the fact that Bravo fans have been forced to consume some of the biggest stories in the past few years – first in the form of the headline or anonymous clue that will come to fruition later on in the show – proves my theory to be true.
Reality stars are known for opening their mouths to the press. Historically, Real Housewives will “blog” with the scum they messed with their co-stars during or before filming. In the event that a Housewife is divorced or owed taxes (sometimes both), this public information cannot really be preserved for television.
But in the past few years, Bravo has witnessed the indictment of Tom Girardi, the incarceration of Jen Shah, the Bolo-gate, the Aspen-gate, an affair with A. Rod, and an epic BFF feud, and audiences have been filled with controversy. . Pre-season gossip pieces. In many cases, it’s like Kathy Hilton’s unseen collapse last season. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills or the exhausting stripper door RHOAas fun as watching these scandals on screen.
However, one Bravo show miraculously escaped the gossip mill while filming its current season, albeit marginally.Vanderpump Rules.
To be clear, we all knew that cast Tom Schwartz and Raquel Leviss kissed at the wedding of co-star Scheana Shay entering Season 10. (Remember the days of innocence?) But I’m talking about the far more surprising thing that almost everyone, including top dog Lisa Vanderpump, thinks Tom Sandoval likes Leviss.
A few weeks ago, on the show, recurring newcomer (and unexpected informant) Ally Lewber reported seeing Sandoval and Leviss dancing together at 1am at The Abbey. And in last week’s episode, Sandoval was caught in two separate lies involving his relationship with the SUR waiter. First, Madix told 10 different stories about the night she slept at Leviss’s house while she was away for her grandmother’s funeral. (Sandoval and Leviss claim nothing, though).
It was later revealed that Madix deliberately stayed at a party with Leviss after learning that her grandmother had died. In the same episode, Vanderpump and Lala Kent expressed their doubts about their overly friendly relationship.
Of course, Sandoval and Leviss’ relationship, better known as Scandoval, has now been confirmed. TMZ reports that Sandoval and Madix are dedicating three episodes to the current season. However, if Madix hadn’t discovered Leviss on Sandoval’s phone on that fateful day in March, viewers would have been totally taken aback by the currently damned plotline that’s unfolding right now. And I have to say: Well done guys!
This could be the surprise story from a show that was tweeted about Vanderpump Rules It really is an anomaly. And considering that no one expected Sandoval to drool over Leviss in the second half of the season, that’s still somewhat surprising.
Likewise, viewers took a who knows what about Sandoval and Leviss’ intriguing bond, wondering who knows what and when. Some pointed out, expressing surprise that the producers were apparently aware of this story from the start. unnoticed easter eggs In the trailer of Season 10. While some fans pretend to be somehow duped, this is actually the ideal way to consume bombs on a reality show. So enjoy the shock!
He certainly talks about the extreme role of social media and gossip blogs in reality TV, which audiences are just as surprised as they are. On the other hand, the fact that none Vanderpump Rules‘ cast—including those notorious for hating Leviss—have managed to keep that speculation around, showing the rare maturity of an immature cast. (Stay here with me!)
While we wouldn’t place too much credit on this highly dysfunctional cast, Leviss’ notorious sleepover at Sandoval’s would have been a great arsenal for Katie Maloney and Kent, whose closeness to her spends most of the season’s drama. Another nemesis of Leviss, his ex-fiancee, James Kennedy, was also surprisingly reluctant to talk about Sandoval and Leviss’ shady relationship. And Shay, who is friends with everyone in the Scandoval love triangle, apparently trusts her friends enough that they would never commit such an act of betrayal.
As a result, gamers have been relatively wary of this information – at least until now – which got me thinking weirdly. Ah.
To me, it all boils down to the cast’s (minus the obvious two minuses) mutual respect for Madix, who usually plays the Swiss role on the show. As Sandoval becomes increasingly shady, he also mourns the loss of his dog and grandmother. However, this unexpected series not only gave viewers something to stunk with, it also elicited a rare and refreshing level of respect among the actors. Beautiful and at the same time nauseating.
