A ‘Scandoval’-ous reunion: ‘Vanderpump Rules’ returns for ‘out of control’ reunion
All things must end, it seems. Friendships, relationships, reality shows … nothing can last forever. But in true “Vanderpump” tradition, all that ends, ends with a bang.
The explosive “Vanderpump Rules Reunion Special” commences for a 10th year – split into two non-stop, drama-filled installments – with “Part 1” premiering Wednesday, May 24, on Bravo.
Each and every season of “Vanderpump” serves hot gossip and jaw-dropping moments, but it’s safe to say that Season 10 truly takes the cake. Avid ‘Vander-lovers’ will know that February and March were show-stopping months for some of the show’s regulars, and as the season wraps up, fans are desperate to know where the Toms (Schwartz and Sandoval), Raquel, Ariana and Katie all stand.
To recap, “Vanderpump” returned with new episodes in February of this year, following the split between Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney. When Schwartz and “Vanderpump” regular Raquel Leviss engaged in some public flirting, fans were hungry for more details — and as March rolled in, that’s exactly what they got (and then some). News soon broke that Leviss and “Vanderpump’s” other Tom, Tom Sandoval, had engaged in a months-long affair, resulting in the end of his nine-year relationship with Ariana Madix.
Though Leviss and Sandoval issued public apologies (both to their partners and fans), reactions from the remaining “Vanderpump” cast have been kept mostly under wraps, saved for viewers to witness first hand. That being said, an unidentified source told US Weekly that the cast was “out of control” during the March taping.
Hosted by Andy Cohen (“Watch What Happens Live”), the Season 10 reunion is set to be “a real reckoning” (per Cohen) as it was filmed only days after news of Madix and Sandoval broke. Cohen continued, hinting at what unfolded during the soon-to-be-aired taping: “If you are looking to hear their story — you will. If you are looking for them to be confronted to their face about what they’ve done, in what I would say in an aggressive manner — you will get it.” Cohen also filmed one-on-one interviews with Madix, Sandoval and Leviss, and teased more potential content, claiming that extended versions of all interviews will be released after the special.
