I think it’s possible that he’s even more self involved than Jax ever was. I have to say I love the way Schwartz told him it was time to get over that. As quiet as Arianna was I can see it blowing up between them at some point.

Is Arianna pregnant, she seems to have a glow about her. She probably isn't..
I would love a silky blue blouse, like the one that LVP wears, it's scrumptious.

Tom Sandoval needs therapy. Schwartz needs to give up drinking so much, IF he wants to have children, imagine Katie with triplets! I love Villa Rosa, just once, I'd love to eat there..

Brock is bad news. I would not be in the least bit surprised if he went after Scheana in order to get himself on TV. I don't trust any of his intentions. It makes me sad that Scheana has never achieved the maturity level necessary to recognize how her bad decisions put her in bad spots, or to be able to truly evaluate people to see who they are. I think Lala's concerns over him are well founded - but she negates a lot of it by continuing to bring it up in group settings. She did Scheana right by having the conversation with her one on one. That's all she can do. From there, she should have stopped.

Brock you never hit a woman, ever!
I hope Scheana is as happy as she appears. Maybe he's grown up and realizes just how bad he was. Our bil didn't slap his wife and hasnt seen his children for sometime ( since she remarried) ...he's tried, many times. God Tom was rude at Lisa's, is he on something? Before he was cut off I wanted to hear about Randall...!!!! Lala looks so pale and is terribly quiet. Her hormones are still at play maybe she found something out about Randall then? He was married when he was dating her... Try as I may, I can't stand Randall, he looks like a cokehead..ugh...keep him away from Ocean if he is.. Lala said she went bring up Brock, again, I bet she does!

I agree with Lala on Brock - it's possible that he's matured past the stage where he slapped his ex and Sheena may not be at risk of his violent outbursts. However, his claim that he's staying out of his kids lives to help them have a good relationship with their step dad is utter BS. In Lala's words - I don't trust a man who won't fight like hell to be a part of his kids lives.

Maybe Bravo should use that outrage to push Lisa off of VPR. I’ve gotten to where I’m uncomfortable watching how hard Lisa tries to insert herself in everyone’s storylines,

I wish Raquel wouldn't do anything more to her nose. I keep reading about these very young girls, that go into so much debt When Lala was at Lisa's, it's obvious she's still very hormonal. I love seeing LVP on my screen..

Exactly. And she's not the interesting part of the show. If she wants it to go on and provide some publicity for her restaurants, she needs to take the humble step of allowing the stars of the show to get the attention. She looks like a fool trying to hang out with a bunch of 30-somethings, and they look childish in the way they show their need to get Lisa's approval for everything they do!

I was so incredibly happy for Katie when the partner in the Tom’s bar declared she was the one who understood what was needed! She’s not my favorite but after all the crap she’s taken from Sandoval she SO deserved that moment and win!

Schwartz really shouldn't go into business if he's so worried about money. That's scary stuff. He's never been able to talk with Katie.. Boy, Raquel has sure found her voice.:-) Every time I see those babies, my heart just melts. They both have quite a lot of hair & that dress Brock made, so teeny!..

Schwartz is not good at asserting himself period. It's not about Katie. He's the same way with Sandoval, Jax, Lisa, and anyone else he encounters.

This is a really good article that does a great job of dissecting the rise and fall of VPR. I'll admit - this has become the show on by DVR that sits there until I have nothing else to watch many weeks. www.thedailybeast.com/sex-and-the-sur-the-slow-painful-death-of-vanderpump-rules?via=twitter_page One paragraph that I think absolutely nails the problems they've created by trying to pretend the show is still what it used to be rather than evolving with the stars lives - The show has dealt with this heaviness and lack of cohesiveness by inserting Vanderpump into scenes where she clearly doesn’t belong. Her presence made sense when she was the cast’s boss at SUR. In fact, her hammy schtick of acting as though her cluster of mid-level LA restaurants were an international conglomerate, while taking every chance to discipline her staff and underline her status as the head honcho, was entertaining. But watching her film scenes with people half her age, who haven’t been her employees for years, is far less so. In fact, it feels borderline ridiculous.

I think the countdown clock has started to when James and Lala finally try things as a couple. Would not be surprised at all if one of the unspoken factors for James in the split was knowing that Lala is available now.

I enjoyed their tea party, what a change from slugging alchohol back. Lala won me over, with her dog,we have trouble with our last one, and we're just as close and love him just as much.

I actaully feel sorry for Katie. Maybe she doesn't have the best temperament or delivery on her point of view, but being married to Schwarz is my idea of hell. As far as I can tell he's an alcoholic gambler with basically a fairly pretty face, but no talent, no empathy and no respect for her. The way he lets Sandoval talk to her--usually backs Sandoval up-- blows my mind. Maybe being overweight--at least compared to this group of thin "beautiful people" --has eaten away at her self-esteem. or just being around Tom long enough has destroyed it. I can't even imagine marrying someone who treats me the way he's treated her. Maybe when they were pairing off, she lost the game of musical chairs. But how does she stay??
I may have misheard --but did I hear him say, "I'm the big ideas" person???? I'd love to know a big idea that has even lodged itself in his head. Heis basically a loser who got incredibly lucky when he was working at Sur, and then when the Vanderpumps thought it would be a cute idea to a restaurant using the trope of having the twoToms-- But, could someone remind me-- what is Schwarz good at?

I think Schwartz is the kind of guy who can’t handle confrontation with anyone. He doesn’t stand up to Sandoval … but he doesn’t stand up to Katie either. I think that’s part of the appeal for her. When she attacks him, he rolls with it. Katie would not work with a guy who was okay with confrontation - and I think she’s smart enough to know that.

I'd say most of this season sucked and showed it's time for this show to just end, but they really did deliver on the finale. I think it's funny that ANYONE thought Schenna could manage to spend the entire weekend focused on James and Raquel and not demanding the attention herself. Loved Katie's reaction at their secret announcement. And it was the first time I've enjoyed Ken and LIsa being the overseers commenting on what a horrible move Brock and Schenna made. She is the one person on the show who I think it could be honestly said has not shown ANY growth since the start of the show. She's still the same self-obsessed girl she's always been.

I feel like this show lacks any real reason for being. Shows are narratives and narrative only develops when there is a plot —which is driven inevitably by conflict and something that holds the characters together so t the conflicts needs and is pushed toward a conclusion. Brock and sheana just don’t make it and neither does Raquel’s nose. These seemed too artificial and forced. As for James giving up marijuana — there was no way that was even plausible. Laila’s relationship was left too private etc. nothing cohered or had any motive for resolution

I'm looking forward to the reunion, I want to see what Brock has to say. Scheana is still online, asking why nobody wants her to be happy. She really doesn't get it.

I have never been a James and Raquel fan until tonight. How sad, but more than that, how brave of them to admit they should end as a couple and move on.

She wasn't the first Randall fooled around with, she won't be the last. Love her or hate her, I think Lala is a beautiful woman jmho. Absolutely! Lala is stunning! I also believe she is a good person and will eventually understand her part, that she belittled others while rationalized all the lies, his and hers, during her relationship with Randall. For the record, I say this from experience. I think, lala thought she could change him, that seldom works. I can't stand Brock, mainly for the way he talks down to people. I don't see that relationship working out, unless Scheana makes a lot of concessions. James looked so sad, whereas Raquels father looked very happy.

It doesn't seem like their break up was James' choice, but long range, I think he's going to realize how much better off he'll be. I don't think that he ever had a chance of being accepted by Raquel's family, and that's a really tough way to make a marriage work. It can be done provided the spouse makes it clear that in a choice of family vs spouse they choose the spouse. But i don't think Raquel made that clear, and honestly I think at times she'd use her family's dislike of James against him.
