“Vanderpump Rules” doubles down on that Emmy-nominated drama in extended preview trailer

Meanwhile, seems like we swapped out Sandoval's awful mustache for Jax's awful mustache. Who will stop these men?

After 10 seasons, Vanderpump Rules garnered its first Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program, thanks almost exclusively to the gift that kept on giving: Scandoval.

In an extended preview of season 11 (below), the dust has settled on Tom Sandoval's affair with Rachel (formerly Raquel) Leviss that rocked the less fancy parts of Southern California — with Ariana Madix arising from said dust like a phoenix as the third most famous Ariana in the world (1. Grande, 2. DeBose, with Greenblatt at a near 4th).

So what happens now? Why, further hijinks and shenanigans, of course! These Emmys aren't going to win themselves, dammit!

First off, Rachel is out, following some contract disputes over the summer and probably just for the sake of her mental health. Second, Sandoval and Madix are still living together, to Lisa Vanderpump's great consternation.

"Why are they living together anyway?" she asks, while holding one of her many four-legged friends. "It's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen."

And that's why we come to this place. For ridiculous couplings and truly terrible decisions by truly questionable men. Tom Schwartz, for instance, apparently catches Barbie fever and goes bleach blond, leading Lala Kent to quip, "You look like Dad Bod Ken."

Jax Taylor, former and potentially future Vanderpump villain, makes a brief cameo in the trailer, sporting facial hair that looks like he just finished tying a damsel to a train track. Then there's walking bad decision, Tom Sandoval, who has, thankfully, shaven off his horrible 'stache, but that seems about as good as it gets for The Most Extras frontman.

Sandoval is trying to date again, which can't be easy when Adele doesn't know who you are or what you do, but just that you're the guy who cheated on someone she hasn't even heard of. Now, that's notoriety. But reality TV is about nothing if not second chances.

Meanwhile, woman scorned Ariana Madix is also dating again, seeing New York-based fitfluencer/professional hottie Daniel Wai, whom she tries to convince to move to L.A. But Ariana's soaring popularity clearly rubs Lala the wrong way, when she yells in the middle of a public space, "I have never experienced someone who gets cheated on and suddenly she becomes God!"

Because nothing says divinity like a supporting role in a Lifetime movie. And we haven't even gotten to the fact that divorcees Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney are courting the same woman. It's gonna be one hell of a season.

Check out the extended preview trailer for season 11 of Vanderpump Rules, premiering Jan. 30 at 8pm ET/PT on Bravo.
