Vanderpump Rules

I think the producers have really done James a favor this season by showing his family. As viewers we look at him and wonder how on earth he can behave like he does - but then you see what he's come from and you start to get answers to the question of why he is like he is ... and feel empathy for him.
When Brittany behaves like she did with the engagement party, it explains a lot in terms of how Jax gets away with behaving like he does. She's clearly made a choice to take material things and a lifestyle and in return for that accept bad behavior from Jax. Not the choices that I'd make ... but i hope if that's what she wants that the money keeps coming in and material things keep bringing her happiness.

I do not watch this show nor do I spend allot of time in LA mostly the OC.

BUT my kiddos go to all LISA's restaurants all the time time.

They were at "TOMTOM" recently with all their friends.

My kiddos said Lisa's restaurants are all awesome, food is great and always packed with celebrities.

I've never been to one of Lisa's restaurants. I do think she does a great job of creating a beautiful atmosphere at each one. She's got both great taste and skill in hiring people who can really pull a vision together. It also seems like she and Ken are willing to spend the money on a great product, which is nice. I will admit that at times when I've looked at the menus of Villa Blanca and Sur, I have not been impressed. I obviously have no idea what the food tastes like, but the type of food offered seems a little dated and not creative to me.

We went to Villa Blanca last summer. Gorgeous! We enjoyed it.

I really want to go to TomTom, but at almost 50, I feel like it’s not my scene? I don’t know. Would y’all go?

It's no secret Kristin can be a hot mess but geez Stassi out of all people being the one to constantly complain about it is rich.

It's a mind f**k how one minute I want to punch James and the next I want to cradle him like baby.

Kristen is such a hot mess. I never believed her and Carter were a couple, years ago. I believe she still likes James.
I'm very glad James didn't drink at the guys bash. Jax, talk about overreacting, or overacting. He was a sweaty mess,all I could do was lol! The leash is going to get tighter Jax, remember that!

I didn't know that, makes sense..thanks..

I really think Kristen needs to give up drinking( with xanax) , for good. It's not all Carters fault.

LaLa, what you want and how you get it, it's called being a prostitute and has nothing to do with love.

I liked the mixologist, I wish the guys were more open to learning, but I'm glad their drinks were on the menu..

I think that Lala talks a big game when it comes to claiming she uses sex for gifts, but I don't buy it. She also talks about how Randall has been such a critical source of support for her in losing her dad. A man who is just paying a woman via gifts for sex isn't going to be there in the bad times. All that said, I do think it's dangerous to have that kind of talk as frequent as she talks about it on TV. To be the serious buzz kill for a moment, sex trafficking of minors is growing in this country at an alarming rate, and those who are lured into it are often times lured not with cash, but with material objects. Lala's big talk about all that is being heard by teen girls, and in their minds is normalizing such behavior. It's not dangerous when a woman like Lala who has the strength to protect herself engages in what she wants. But it is dangerous when it's a 14 year old girl with an older guy luring her into something much more sinister. I don't blame Lala for that ... I blame Bravo for editing it in.

I'd agree that the salon talk didn't make Lala's relationship with Randall look good. But it's not the only time she's talked about him on the show, and I judge perceptions of their relationship based on all of that ... along with recognizing that Lala is someone who puts her defenses up by talking a tough game to keep from expressing her real feelings.
I felt so bad for the guy styling Lala's hair during that whole conversation. He did a really good job of continuing to work and pretending that he wasn't listening - and I'm sure he's heard plenty of other stuff doing the job he does. But it was so rude to be talking like that in front of him, putting him in that position.

Me too, very much so..

Did anyone catch that wink Katie gave Stassi after she forced Tom to dis-invite James? 
Everything Sandoval said to Katie was true.  Sucks he had to back track so quickly.  The witches of weho always seem to get their way.
James makes good tv so I would have liked him on that trip just for that reason.  
Carter and Kristen dinner was so awkward.  It was obvious both aren't happy but were sticking it out.  Makes sense now that they broke up.

Kristen is at the place where Stassi was before she met her current boyfriend. She's putting up with crap thinking it's better than being alone, but she's selling herself short. Perhaps she'll get lucky and her friends will fix her up with a guy she's well matched with like Stassi's friends did for her.

I wonder how many times they film each scene. When Lisa and TS were talking to James outside of TomTom, Lisa's hair kept changing.
