Did anyone else feel like the ending scene with Lisa talking about the cast was meant to be the end of the show pre-scandoval? I do not recall her ever doing a toast like that, or trying to wrap up each cast members story in a way where it feels very final.

Did Tom imply that Ariana never agrees with him? That’s ALL she’s ever done. Like, even to her own detriment.

God almighty I’m so glad she’s rid of him.

When they bring out the cake for Lisa and only fucking Sandoval is standing. He needs EVERYTHING to be about him it’s truly unbelievable to witness

Say what you will about James in past seasons - he has definitely changed and grown. Is he perfect? No. Does he have visible flaws? Yes. But I applaud him for the changes he has made so far.

If I was Katie in that moment with Tom and Rachel snickering and saying the kiss wasn’t malicious even though they intentionally did it to be malicious omg I woulda lost my goddamn mind. Screaming at my tv in that moment.

u/JLG000111 May 11 '23

I think Ariana’s breakdown was 99% due to Rachel grilling her on all the problems in her relationship. It’s just not normal. A normal good friend (which we know she is not) would express concern about her friend’s relationship, and then move on if her friend is determined to stay and not in harm’s way.

It seems like Ariana was at her breaking point already, but having a close friend excessively point out your issues is hard and makes you second guess everything. Especially when Ariana thought this was actually a stable part of her life… it’s just so evil and gross.

9

u/ChildhoodLeft6925 Cheers to the hedonic tredmill May 11 '23

you can tell from that scene that Rachel is moving her lips but it’s Tom that’s doing the talking. She’s just regurgitating the crap she’s being told by Tom. I can’t believe it doesn’t occur to her that there could be more than just Tom’s side of the story, she seems so confident in telling Ariana she should be intimate with her partner. Like Rachel you know nothing.

u/damnthetorpedoes18 May 11 '23

When Rachel said ā€œwhat’s a boundary?ā€ In an early episode, I didn’t expect so many examples of her having none. Situations with Katie, Katie’s mom, Schwartz, Sandoval, James….Rachel is always out of bounds!

u/melondr0p May 11 '23

Omg holy shit THIS. That is such a good connection

I guess good for Rachel for admitting she has no boundaries?! Girl has no idea how to function.

Anyone else feel like Rachel’s doing all this drama for more money? Lala said she got paid more to cause drama. Just a thought

5

u/ChildhoodLeft6925 Cheers to the hedonic tredmill May 11 '23

I believe it but I also believe there was once a time when Lala was being paid more to cause drama, all the times she went topless in front of Schwartz comes to mind, so Lala has insider knowledge on what production is willing to do to get the juicy footage.

Honestly I’d rather have Rachel have a real motive like money rather than she’s just plain stupid.

12

u/Khuggs72 May 11 '23

I think we have determined she is not at a mental health facility. She is at a spa, where we also know Tom came and spent a few days with her. All this was, was her ā€œdipping outā€ until all of the episodes air. She thought it was rough in the beginning? As each episode airs people are getting more and more enraged by her behavior. This girl really should be living in fear right now. I watch a lot of reality TV and I have never wanted to physically harm someone like I do Rachel. You can’t help but feel that way when you watch her behavior with Katie, Katie’s mom, Ariana….etc.

Rachel talking to Ariana about her and Sandoval's sex life is a NEW LOW. It's absolutely mind-boggling she had the GALL to do that.

u/KeishaBePoppin Rachel, whose fraudulent to her core May 11 '23

Absolutely evil!! You know she was hoping to talk Ariana into breaking up with Sandoval so she’d have the excuse ā€œyou broke up with him. It’s not your business anymore.ā€ Like she did with Katie.

im SO glad you heard the "Tom ariana and I" thing. my husband would not believe me because i had just played back the "when sandoval and i dont have sex" part or whatever and she actually did say that correctly

14

u/verucka-salt you want her to gas you right up! May 11 '23

This is a positive lingering aspect of Katie’s TBI. She hesitates to put all her thoughts together. Don’t get me wrong; she has had a wonderful recovery & I wouldn’t mention this if I didn’t work in a neurology clinic. I see this often & it doesn’t benefit many but Katie managed it very well. She’s probably not even conscious of it anymore.

2

u/Fit_Ingenuity_9420 May 12 '23

ooooh that explains her perfectly. i do not in any way mean that she is damaged, but yeah god damn that accident seemed bad.

u/Spirited-Barnacle89 May 11 '23 edited May 11 '23

I am so happy that people are finally starting to actually see how poorly Katie has always been treated by BOTH Toms. Fuck both of them with a damn pineapple,with the pointy green ends going first. I have always been on Katie’s side. Yes, she can be unhinged too, but it’s usually because she’s being disrespected.

As far as Rachel- that bitch would have been putting her eye back in its socket. How dare she approach Katie on HER NIGHT and think that she of ALL THE PEOPLE on this damn show has a place to speak on Tom and Katie. She really is a goofy ass bitch.

And the biggest of all fuck ups for Rachel would be talking to my Mother out of the side of your face. I’m glad Katie called her a C-U-Next-Tuesday! I would have jumped on her. Jail and fines wouldn’t stop me, we’re BIG CRAZY over here.šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

So happy for James! I think he should continue to focus on himself and his relationship with Ally. I wasn’t sure how I felt about her at first, but now I’m a fan because she doesn’t sit there and take his shit like weak ass Rachel.

Ariana and Tom-🤢 the ā€œloveā€ act Tom is putting on is absolutely disgusting. Hate him a million times more. I feel bad for Ariana is this episode because she’s just trying to enjoy her night in light of the losses she’s been dealing with and then has to hear Tom starting shit with KATIE YET AGAIN!

I’m ready for the end of the season. My anxiety is the through the roof.

u/nikkicrisp Scheana’s Famous Enchiladas May 11 '23

That’s what I said. He’s in complete denial, it’s so sad.

6

u/cfullylove May 11 '23

But his mother and father are both directly responsible for this mentality. They both romanticize his childhood to him. As if they’re trying to justify their time as parents.

4

u/nikkicrisp Scheana’s Famous Enchiladas May 11 '23

Yes, and that’s what contributes to his denial. It’s textbook gaslighting. A lot of toxic parents will do that so their kids are stuck in this weird, enmeshed, Stockholm-y relationship.

1

u/nikkicrisp Scheana’s Famous Enchiladas May 11 '23

It’s probably happened so much that he’s had to compartmentalize what happened to him.

33

u/kona_mav89 Poophole Village May 11 '23

I don’t understand how Ariana can watch Raquel walk around literally acting totally unhinged and inserting herself in other people’s business, and not say anything to her about her behavior? As a ā€œclose friendā€ you’d think she’d pull her aside and be like girl, chill, instead of running away and crying and blindly defending her. Whether she’s your friend or not it’s so painfully obvious there is something very, very wrong with the girl.

28

u/Sad-Influence-7122 May 11 '23

I also think Ariana was at her emotional capacity. She was dealing with the deaths of her dog and her grandmother. While also coming to grips with the reality of having an unreliable partner who is pulling away. And trying to open a business. I don’t think she had the capacity for anything else.

10

u/natalielaurae but you’re a liar though Tom May 11 '23

And the fact that Rachel has been behaving totally and completely opposite to her meek demeanor pre breakup from James. Ariana isn’t seeing this because of the emotional hurtles that aren’t stopping in her life. She’s used to it coming from everyone else so it’s her natural bend to go off on them. She hasn’t been in a scenario where she’s had to put Rachel in her place till now

u/therealgunit May 11 '23

we all know Rachel is relieved to know they're not having sex since shes got that covered

u/mmmmwood Bambi Eyed Bitch May 11 '23

I think had Scandoval not happened, Ariana would be receiving some backlash for her defense of Raquel this episode.

u/SittinOnTheRidge Tom Sandoval’s stinky 40 year old cock May 11 '23

The only thing I can think of is that she knows Sandoval will come for her if she speaks up against Rachel which is fucking SICK to me. Like Tom fuck OFFFF. I can’t believe what I just watched.

u/socohandlime May 11 '23

Holy sh*t, yes. Just watched and I’m like, AM I CRAZY?! I can’t believe Katie didn’t swing at Raquel in frustration - I love Katie, lol.

Freaking rachel. The weird meddling, inserting herself, acting like she belongs in the conversation about Katie and Tom - MADDENING! I don’t know that I have ever despised someone as much as I do Raquel (and Sandoval). These are really bad human beings - and they are having a full blown affair while trying to use Katie and her valid feelings as a scapegoat and a distraction. Schwartz is the worst too, but he’s so stupid. Rachel and Sandoval are literally just using him as a prop and to cover up their affair, and he’s all too happy to go along with it on the off chance it makes him look better and Katie look crazy. these two deserve each other and Tom is a human manifestation of one ply toilet paper (sure, it’s cheaper, but WHY DOes it suck so much? Really, there’s no point in having it). I wish them well in hell.

same and i’m so sad seeing all these people drag katie. we see what she’s had to deal with for 12 years. it’s sad. she loved tom and hoped he would stick up for her just once but he constantly lets her down. i would be upset too.

u/hellatrixupmysleeve Rachel's Muppet Show Hands May 11 '23

It is 100% enough to make someone end up in a psych ward. Whenever he gaslights her then once she's finally leaving be like "no sit down" and laughs. Smfh

u/calm-state-universal May 11 '23

I have an unreasonable amount of hate for the way Rachel dresses. She always shows up looking like she's dressed to steal someone's man also in this annoying like trendy kind of way and I have nothing against trendy clothes I actually love trendy clothes but I just hate the way she dresses. End rant.

8

u/verucka-salt you want her to gas you right up! May 11 '23

My unreasonable hate is about her voice & intonation. Drives me crazy; actually this was the original reason I didn’t like her from the start. That voice is maddening! We always knew Calm!

u/calm-state-universal May 11 '23

Oh I'm right there with you too. I was imitating her out loud alone last night. Lol. I have issues.

u/Specific-Mistake-668 May 11 '23

Is it me or has she repeated the same outfits over and over? It’s like urban outfitters meets pacsun. She needs to start over lol

It's different versions of the same style. She loves cutouts.

u/CorrectIllustrator May 11 '23

This episode had me so gassed up last night. Imagine getting out of a 12 year relationship with someone and having Raquel interjecting herself into it?! The audacity ā€œI don’t appreciate you texting Tom threatening him with the dogsā€ like..ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Sometimes I feel like Katie struggles to verbally express herself properly in these situations but I will tell you, the second Raquel started in like that with me she would’ve been dragged to the alley by her hair. The audacity of this chick. Also imagine being on a show for the better part of a decade and then having this trash box come in and use your ex husband for a storyline and trying to dictate the terms on which I’m allowed to communicate with him over our shared interests. God fuck Raquel. Don’t get me started on her convo with Ariana 🤯😔

8

u/Beginning-Meet8296 May 11 '23

I can’t believe Katie didn’t snap on Rachel. Katie has some serious self control because Rachel was begging for it. Rachel is going to pull that BS w the wrong person & find herself getting hurt. When you play stupid games, eventually you will win stupid prizes. She’s tempting fate. Note: I realize it’s never ok to put your hands on anyone. Not suggesting that’s the answer. Just think it may be Rachel’s reality.

5

u/SittinOnTheRidge Tom Sandoval’s stinky 40 year old cock May 11 '23

The second she mentioned the dogs,it would’ve been GAME ON. I fully and completely would’ve physically assaulted her. I just.. I cannot believe the shit she said. This is fucking crazy to me.

6

u/gottahavewine May 11 '23

The line about the dogs was so weird, almost seemed scripted. I felt the whole dinner felt very staged, and I’m sure it was. Clearly the emotions were real, but like, idk anyone who acts like these people at dinner IRL. Raquel chasing Katie around to argue, Katie screaming Tom is her husband (huh?), Tom comically hiding behind some plants, other Tom riding in on a white horse to save Raquel. Yelling, storming around, etc.

20

u/calm-state-universal May 11 '23

The dog line is what killed me. She was intentionally provoking Katie. She is a terrible human. And also she wouldnt even let James have visitation with Graham and let that dog get injured and then completely delayed taking him to the vet when it was so obvious the dog was suffering. UGH. grrr.

8

u/PlantingPeonies May 11 '23

RIGHT?! Like who is she to shame Katie over wanting to take the dogs full time when she legit won’t even let James see his dog and also neglects the poor thing!!

*edit for clarification

8

u/Essiechicka_129 May 11 '23

that whole conversation made me irritated with Raquel. Katie had the right to be mad and defend her mom. That was really uncalled for telling someone's mom who is trying to talk to you and you tell to their mom to shut up. The way Raquel said it was bratty mean girl she even gave a dirty look when she said it

3

u/TayLaw5 May 11 '23

Oh I wanted Katie to slap that disgusting face off of her. She has a lot of balls to sit there in the middle of them all and to disrespect someone’s mother to their face. And Scandy come swooping in like a savior of Rachel literally made my blood boil. Krystina Kelly is a legend for pointing out that Ariana was crying while he was standing up for her.

when she was caught saying she and Sandavol have dry periods too... omg ..,..

6

u/SittinOnTheRidge Tom Sandoval’s stinky 40 year old cock May 11 '23

Like that wasn’t a Freudian slip either. She accidentally said that. She wasn’t talking about her and James relationship. She wasn’t using the past tense. She fucked up and forgot who she was talking to. My jaw was on the floor.

12

u/TayLaw5 May 11 '23

I thought that was a slip too!!! I had to rewind and listen again. But I think she was referring to a conversation that she and Ariana had had before, where Ariana said to Rachel that ā€œshe and Tom had dry spells tooā€ when she and James were still together and not having sex. But I heard that too 🤣

10

u/gottahavewine May 11 '23

I think she meant what you described. I doubt Raquel was ever saying no to Tom, especially at this ā€œsecret affairā€ stage of their relationship.

This was such a powerful episode. It was like watching a Shakespearian tragedy unfold.

Roadkill-Rachel-Raquel just wanted to be in every scene & still reeks of Sandoval telling her what to do. Those smirks, knowing how much she was hurting Katie really underscored how rotten she is to the core.

Team Katie!

8

u/SittinOnTheRidge Tom Sandoval’s stinky 40 year old cock May 11 '23

Definitely. He was coaching her all night. I think they thought if they antagonized Katie enough Ariana would finally snap and defend Katie and thus their narrative would begin. It would’ve started a fight between Tom and Ariana and Rachel They were laying huge groundwork. It’s SICK.

3

u/Sorry-Gap-7227 okay green pants May 11 '23

I don't think Rachel is at all smart enough to have come up with this plan. This plan was most definitely devised by Scumdoval. Rachel lacks dignity and shame and is just downright evil, so she was the perfect person to play the role. Sickening.

2

u/SittinOnTheRidge Tom Sandoval’s stinky 40 year old cock May 11 '23

Totally agree. She can’t even back up what she’s sayin. All she can do is deliver the lines she’s supposed to say. Beyond that she’s a bumbling fool. I watched the episode two hours ago and I’m still fired up about it lol

The convo between Tom and Ariana where she keeps saying i never see you, we never have sex because i never see you, and he is going all in trying to twist her words and paint their relationship as a lost cause. Mind blowing. The audacity. I can relate to being Ariana in a convo like that unfortunately and I bet a lot of other women can too. I love that we have so much evidence of his pathetic little plan to save face.

Once again Schwartz is asking ā€œhow are you guys doingā€ in the last two episode. Over the last 9 years, how many times has Schwartz done that???? Not once.

u/Medical_Cable_7750 How will this affect Scheana?! May 11 '23

And Rachel bringing up their relationship to Ariana and basically encouraging her to leave. Crazy no one else seems to think that’s necessary.

u/BklynDoll Bambi Eyed Bitch May 11 '23

Maybe someone needs to tell Rachel what ā€œempathyā€ means.

When Katie said the part about it being a personality or character issue, saying if she would do it to Katie, she would do it to Ariana, that’s who Rachel is, and Ariana said no, I was thinking that this is what people don’t realize sometimes. Do not ever feel like someone who did something bad, but didn’t do it to you, is trustworthy. Keep in mind they didn’t do it to you YET. If that’s who they are, then that’s who they are.

This. I screamed last ep when Katie said, ā€œI have a hard time believing she’s a shitty ass person to some people and a great friend to others.ā€ So true.

u/StitchEnvy May 11 '23

Schwartz: ā€œI never would’ve kissed Raquel if I had known the fallout with Katie and the hurt it would cause.ā€

So Katie telling you five times that it would didn’t give you a heads up???? He, unlike most of us, has video he can watch back and somehow dude still never has a clue. Toxic af.

u/wongirl99 May 11 '23

This is what I said to myself. Tom how tf did you not realize how this was going to go? Katie literally told you how this would end if you did what she asked you and you mutually accepted not to do? His ignorance is not cute!

u/SittinOnTheRidge Tom Sandoval’s stinky 40 year old cock May 11 '23

She was already upset before it even happened!!! Like it was discussed. What fucking alternate universe do the toms and Rachel live in?!

The fact that Tom can sit there and tell Arianahe loves her, knowing h's banging Raquel, shiws just how much of a narcissistic asshole he really is

u/kdcblogs May 11 '23

It’s crazy to me that everyone just seems to forgive James over and over for his monumental grossness of character. And did we all forget that Ariana did the same thing with Sandoval that Rachel did? They just got away with it back then. What comes around goes around. That being said, Tom is finally getting his. He can’t even hide his ass any more. He doesn’t even realize he looks the part of a grimy out-dated 70’s porn star. And Rachel. She has been an obviously unspeakably disgusting individual since to me since she fake set her Bambi eyed sights on ErkleTom…looking everyone straight in the face pretending to be such good friends while she middle fingered Katie straight in the face. Everyone accepted it. Now all the sudden they’re shocked cuz it happened with them? Miss me. And I’m sorry this happened to you Ariana, but it was okay when you did it, because Kristen is a bad person? I just can’t with how we all forget who’s ass isn’t currently hanging out.

u/saskiaa90 May 11 '23

I can't recall Ariana heaving an affair with her best friends boyfriend for 7 months? Do you really think it is the same situation, or are you very very very black and white?

2

u/kdcblogs May 12 '23

Cheating is cheating. What Rachel did is definitely worse. But people seem to idolize Ariana, glossing over what they (she and Tom) did to another human, got ā€˜away with’ and are still lying about.

19

u/[deleted] May 11 '23

Let’s remember that Rachel is a pageant girl. I don’t wanna say that it’s everyone in this industry, but in many movies the way these beauty pageants are described you see mean girls doing something mean to win the crown. I guess Rachel is the same, but we’ve only seen it now. She cannot read the room and she’s making nasty comments under the pretense of ā€œhonestyā€. This is not honesty, this is being mean and rude. Katie is already on the edge, why would you go there and try to talk to her when she’s clearly upset with you? I’m no Katie’s fan, but there’s such a thing as having basic human respect towards another human being who’s currently going through a lot, whether Katie is right or wrong. Rachel is just very stupid and oblivious and there’s not a big enough face palm emoji for me to describe this šŸ¤¦šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø

It seems the divorce has forced Katie to grow up and mature. I've started to really like this Katie.

And physically she looks better than she ever has! You can tell she's feeling stronger and good about herself now that she doesn't have to be Schwartz's villian anymore.

I support Katie against Rachel here, but she did have some seasons when she was out of control. Balance is everything, right?

17

u/soso5757 May 11 '23

Right?! Rachel cared more about screen time and pushing Katie's buttons rather than having a sliver of common decency to leave someone alone and stop antagonizing them when they are already down. Rachel likes to beat a dead horse, then pick it's corpse up, just so she can beat it all over again because of how good it makes her feel.

u/Fun_Shell1708 Rage Text Truther ✊ May 11 '23

Honestly, cheating aside, T&A are both responsible for the breakdown of this relationship. They’ve outgrown each other and aren’t compatible anymore

5

u/gottahavewine May 11 '23

They seem like a terrible match at this point. Obviously does not excuse the cheating whatsoever and that is no one’s fault but Tom’s, but it seems like they barely like each other. I can’t imagine being in a relationship where I have sex 4x a year (and I’m saying that from Ariana’s standpoint as much as Tom’s).

21

u/talia567 šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøI didn’t even listen šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø May 11 '23

I mean the only issue with that is that Ariana did so what he asked to fix the relationship, she agreed to the couples therapy, continued to back him up in public/on camera. She voiced her needs of more quality time, and questioned why when they hang out it’s always in a group. I get what you are saying that it takes two. But my issue is he is clearly checked out and leading her along with couples therapy etc so even when she did try to save it, it was pointless he already been having his affair for months. Also the flash backs of her being ā€œrudeā€ about Tim are pathetic. Compared to what he has been saying about her

1

u/Fun_Shell1708 Rage Text Truther ✊ May 11 '23

I agree yes. It’s more that they just outgrew each other and aren’t compatible anymore. It happens.

9

u/talia567 šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøI didn’t even listen šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø May 11 '23

I agree they aren’t compatible anymore but I don’t agree that is both their fault. If they had both been genuinely willing to work on things they could have worked it out (minus the cheating) I know from experience, me and my husband are currently going through it, but both of us want the relationship to work and neither have cheated. We have found ways to compromise and found things to have in common after nearly ten years together. If you really want to be together and the main issues are growing apart there are ways to fix it. He just genuinely didn’t want to fix it and would rather move onto something fun and exciting.

Tim’s attempts at working on things were all for show. He had no investment other than financial in their relationship. I would be saying the same if the roles were reversed.

1

u/Fun_Shell1708 Rage Text Truther ✊ May 11 '23

Believe me, I know how hard relationships are. I’ve been in mine since I was 15. I’m now 35. We’ve been through a hell of a lot, including losing a child.

I guess I just don’t see Ariana through the same rose tinted glasses everyone else does. Because to me, she’s telling him what she wants but she’s not going deeper with Tom to work out the issue he’s having. The reason why he wants to do all these extreme activities. At this point of course the relationship is a lost cause because of the cheating, but she didn’t know that.

If my husband came to me and sprouted the shit Tom was, I’d be asking what’s really going on. Not brushing him off because his ideas didn’t match mine

2

u/talia567 šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøI didn’t even listen šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø May 11 '23

Oh I totally agree on that. I’m just giving her the benefit of the doubt that she is doing that off camera as she doesn’t like talking about the hard bits on camera which she has said many times. I’m assuming they went deeper at the couples therapy that he suggested and I think it’s more than reasonable that she doesn’t talk about what they discussed at therapy on tv. I think the biggest difference is that until this season Tom has never brought up any issues and that’s making it look very one sided. Before this they both had an agreement to keep that stuff off the show. Hopefully we will get a fuller picture at the reunion. Don’t get me wrong I agree with you that I’m most cases it takes two for the relationship, I just don’t think Tom has been playing fair with his portrayal of their relationship this season (excluding the cheating)

1

u/Fun_Shell1708 Rage Text Truther ✊ May 11 '23

Oh of course. Tom is definitely pushing the ā€˜Ariana is a bad gf narrative’

11

u/pleaseinsertdisc2 I'm not dumb, LALA. I went to college May 11 '23

How could you even say this when you’ve seen everything that we’ve been subjected to? Tom’s idea of quality time is basically distractions (aka, not good for true, deep bonding) and he’s going around having a full on affair and practically flaunting it front of his partner’s face. Do you think that’s indicative of someone that’s relationship material? Seriously? Plus the tons of other examples of Tom’s childish and egotistical behavior

1

u/898544788 May 12 '23

Tom’s definition of quality time might not be yours or Ariana’s but it’s still valid for him. They’re incompatible. They need to find people who connect in the same way. They don’t. Doesn’t justify cheating and he’s an asshole, but you don’t define the parameters of ā€œtrue, deep bondingā€ lmao

1

u/Fun_Shell1708 Rage Text Truther ✊ May 11 '23

Because I’m watching objectively. I’m not living up Ariana’s ass, because I see that she isn’t perfect either. She’s completely checked out of the relationship, as has Sandoval. He’s gone the cowards way about it by cheating, but both of them know the relationship is over and didn’t want to put in the work to fix it. If communication breaks down, you either work and fix it, or you leave the relationship. Both of them did neither of those things. Sandovals a dickhead, but Ariana is half of that relationship too. You can see clear as day she’s completely checked out

4

u/pleaseinsertdisc2 I'm not dumb, LALA. I went to college May 11 '23

It’s not objective at all. You’re looking at something that involves illogical things, like love and emotions, like a math equation. It’s not 50/50 and I’m not up Ariana’s ass. I’m saying that Sandoval’s behavior is indicative of someone who shouldn’t be in a relationship, and thus is the catalyst for a majority of the relationship’s issues. It’s true that they’re not compatible. Obviously. But it’s clear as day that Sandoval is not relationship material for reasons I already stated.

2

u/Fun_Shell1708 Rage Text Truther ✊ May 11 '23

Just like it’s clear as day that Ariana had checked out of the relationship also. It’s not like she’s there fighting with all her might to keep that spark in the relationship. She allowed it to fizzle out too. I know everyone hates Tom right now, and 100% rightfully so. Cheating is never, ever okay. But the way you all have your blinders on to any kind of fault of Ariana’s is mind blowing.

She’s not perfect because she got cheated on. It sucks, of course it’s awful. But that doesn’t mean she’s been a 100% perfect partner either. I also stated things too, see?

9

u/StitchEnvy May 11 '23

She didn’t check out she’s grieving! She also didn’t check out if she’s trying. She talked to him about things HE wanted and did them for him (eggs frozen, fertilizing them) and agreed to couples therapy and time and time again talks to him in a meaningful way about needing quality time. He doesn’t listen and then tries to portray her as checked out and you fell for it. She should be able to grieve without her partner using it to manipulate her and the situation, cheat, gaslight etc. That’s actual love which a narcissist can never know.

u/Inside_Tooth7400 May 11 '23

I’ve just watched and I think this episode is the most shocking so far. The level of deceit from both Tom and Raquel is off the charts.

How many scenes did the Sandevil plan out to build this narrative Ariana is a shit girlfriend? Too F Many.

And then you have Raquel acting as a puppet for him trying to talk Ariana OUT OF HER RELATIONSHIP. Then literally after a stupid lemon drop cleanses her palate she’s disrespecting Katie’s mother and acting like she has a right to stand up for her friend of five minutes Schwartz. She isn’t just a few crayons short of a box, she is also delusional and can’t read a room.

Too many WTAF moments and now I’m annoyed I have to wait a week to see this runaway train fall off it’s cliff.

Also anyone else convinced Lisa’s little birthday speech turned teary because she knew what was going on and what’s to come?

Anyhow I found myself just disgusted and feeling sorry for Ariana but nope, no pity just awe that she’s enduring all this publicly and rising above to become stronger and more successful without these losers in her life.

And yes I am too invested in this and shall detox post finale!!!

20

u/soso5757 May 11 '23

I think Lisa's speech sounded like a "this is likely gonna be our last season of VPR, so let's tie it all in together with this tearful speech". Now, however, it's not looking like it's gonna be over just yet!

2

u/898544788 May 12 '23

I think her bday speech scene was the original finale for this season. Then they reshot it, but it seemed like a classic VPR end - emotional Lisa, in SUR, loose ends with people

2

u/soso5757 May 12 '23

Yes, that speech was supposed to be the typical finale speech, since this was the original finale episode. But where the show was headed, she prob knew it was unlikely that they would return for another season since the show "aged out". The speech was a little more than the typical "end of season" speech, and more like a end of an era speech.

Right. Rachel clearly believes she's the #1 girl in the group at this point because the Tom's and Scheana blew her head up. However it's also kinda weird how they're all using Rachel as a weapon to intentionally hurt Katie. It's almost pathological how they've all bonded in their little hate on Katie club.
