Well, well, well. Here we are. Another week, another deeply unhinged yet fascinating look into Raquel Leviss and Tom Sandoval's hidden-yet-not-so-hidden months-long affair. All of that to say, a new episode of Vanderpump Rules aired last night, and it's time to GET INTO IT.
Btw hi! I am Lara — a long-time Vanderpump Rules fan since Season 1 — and I will be joining you to discuss VPR for the foreseeable future. You can also come along with me on my honest review of Schwartz and Sandy's, and read my essay with receipts on how one Tom-othy Schwartz has quite literally always been the worst.
Without further ado, let's get into it. This week's episode — Season 10, Episode 13, titled "Lady and the Glamp" — kicks off with a car scene featuring Tom Sandoval, Raquel Leviss (also sometimes referred to as Rachel), Tom Schwartz, and Ariana Madix. They are all on their way to go "glamping" for Raquel's birthday.
They arrive at said glamping spot — some ranch in some part of California that I have quite frankly never heard of (sorry) — and Scheana informs us all that she's "not a camper." Sweetie, we know. We then see Sandoval wearing a "Yellow Robe Smith" shirt, which is in reference to Ariana's greatest scene to date from Season 7, Episode 17.
Anyway, Tom Schwartz talks about peeing outside or whatever, and then we head over to the new office space that Lala Kent has secured for her Give Them Lala beauty brand and other various business ventures. Robes are hanging up, and she informs "Jameson" aka James Kennedy that she has invited Katie Maloney and Kristina Kelly to come take photos in said robes. It's giving Kim Zolciak-Biermann, IYKYK. ANYWAY, back to this. James and Lala then begin to discuss drama, which is truthfully why we are all here.
Lala drops the bomb that a few days ago when Katie was at Villa Rosa "working on sandwiches" (??), Ken Todd moseys on up to Katie and Lisa Vanderpump and casually says, and I quote, "I can't believe that Tom Sandoval had Raquel over when Ariana is away. In the jacuzzi as well." When Lisa Vanderpump responds with, "I know," Ken continues and says, "And she stayed all night, yeah?" THEN HE JUST LEAVES! Obviously, LVP instructed her hubby to deliver this line (and tbh, he did it perfectly) so then LVP explains how she found out.
This scene is a work of art, quite frankly.

Anyway, apparently LVP, who can "sniff bullshit from a mile away" according to Lala (and who would also throw any of these SURvers under the bus for a storyline), immediately called Tom Sandoval to ask about what Raquel had told her.
Immediately after watching this scene, I have to ask myself...how much of this was re-shot? Was this all part of the original season? If so, why was none of this in any trailer until now? I am not here to buy into any massive conspiracy theories about the cast hiding this, I am really not. But I am saying that I am confused.
I feel like Vanderpump Rules should now start putting time stamps on all the confessionals for clarity.
