VPR Rewind

Lisa treats a group of underprivileged kids to the full SUR experience, but as usual, drama ensues. It starts with Ariana and Sandoval when Tom steals her idea of making special mocktails for the kids. Things escalate when Peter invites Tom on a "guys" trip to Vegas and Araiana puts her foot down and says he can't go. Behind the scenes Jax and James get into it about James' treatment of Kristen, but everyone can hear the argument, including the guests and Lisa has to intervene. Schwartz and Sandoval fail to impress with their business plan AGAIN, but somehow strike a deal with Pandora, Lisa, and Jason to be brand ambassadors for LVP sangria and Jax asks Brittany to move in with him.

It's Pride week and Lisa is making sure she outdoes herself for parties at both bars this year since she was just focused on PUMP last year. When James shows up flaunting fresh love bites and scratches all over his arm and back, everyone, specifically Lala, wants to know which SUR girl was responsible. Let's just say, keep your frenemies close. In a strange turn of events, Jax and Lala leave SUR together at the end of the episode, leaving us all to wonder if she is Jax's next victim

Convinced that Kristen is cheating on him, James seeks revenge by hooking up with Lala. However, this backfires when Lala and Kristen exchange timelines and now neither one of them want anything to do with James. Scheana seems to think that working out and eating healthy will cure Shay's addiction, so she recruits Sandoval to give them some lessons on cooking healthier at home. But Katie and Ariana know that Shay's problems are much bigger than that and urge Scheana not to sweep marital problems under the rug. Peter chops off his ponytail and now he looks like Lord Farquad and the SUR staff gets a lesson in wine pairing. Please leave a review or comment, we love to hear from you guys!

Lisa and the SUR crew force Scheana to reassess her marriage now that Shay's secret life is out in the open. Both the Toms and Ariana sit down with Scheana and Shay to hear his side of what has been going on over the years and it's much bigger than anyone thought. Sandoval and Schwartz pitch Lisa a business plan to sell her coveted sangria in other bars around the country, but that's quickly shot down by Pandora and her husband who run that part of the company. Specifically because they can't count on Schwartz not having a panic attack and quitting. Kristen and James seek couple’s therapy but James is already in a mood before they even get out of the door because he is so hungover **If you or someone you know is suffering from drug abuse, mental health issues, or suicidal thoughts there are people that can and want to help** National Mental Health Helpline: 1-800-950-6264 National Substance Abuse Helpline: 1-844-289-0879 National Suicide Prevention Helpline: 1-800-273-TALK

Scheana and Katie bust Lala for lying about a modeling job in Italy, and when Lisa confronts Lala, she brings out the crocodile tears. This gets Lisa's attention and she turns the table on Katie and Scheana for picking on the new girl. Shay surprises everyone with a HUGE secret: he's been taking up to 5 Vicodin a day on top of his excessive drinking. Scheana worries her marriage may be in danger but she is keeping the situation very guarded for now. Jax and James compete for Lala's affection, even though they both technically have girlfriends and I think we learn a little not so well known fact about James. See if you can catch it.Tom Schwartz FINALLY makes a big step towards committing to Katie and picks out an ENGAGEMENT RING!!!

When Lisa brings new blood to the shark-infested waters of SUR, Katie and Scheana quickly teach new girl Lala that there's no such thing as a secret at Lisa's restaurant. Time will tell if Lala can hold her own in this group of people. Rumors spread that James was unfaithful to Kristen and when she finds proof in James email via an Uber receipt, it seems the relationship is over. But James quickly worms his way back into Kristen's good graces, although he tells the viewers a very different story than the one he gives to Kristen. Jax imports a new girlfriend from Kentucky and the crew is indifferent to her. She's nice, but they just see her as another one of Jax's victims who probably won't be around for long. She seems to be trying to get a job at SUR, but Lisa is also hesitant about her.

WELCOME TO SEASON 4!!! This season bring us more drama than ever and some new faces. We've also got our TikTok up and running so be sure to check that out for behind the scenes videos, up to date VPR news and eventually video clips of our podcast! You can find us at VPRrewindpodcast (also our handle on Instagram)Season 4 starts off with a look at how things are currently going at SUR. James is still a busboy occasionally when he isn't DJing, Jax and Ariana are still behind the bar, Scheana and Katie are still serving, but it appears Sandoval is too good to be seen there much anymore. He's making more money than ever from the show and picking up more gigs with his band, so he typically gives away his shifts and Lisa is not happy about it.Scheana is throwing a decade themed party for her 30th birthday. Everyone took the assignment seriously and showed up in some epic costumes...except for Kristen. Maybe it's because she wasn't TECHNICALLY invited, but she came to support her boyfriend James behind the DJ booth. Unfortunately during the filming hiatus their relationship has gone from bad to worse and it seems the drinking has gotten out of control for both of them. Jax is still Jax, but with another new nose and although it's been 9 months since Katie gave Schwartz an ultimatum to step up or she's walking, she still doesn't have a ring on her finger. And they are still together. If you want to check out Kristen's tshirt line, visit Jamesmae.co

We have reached the season 3 finale and with it comes SUR’s annual photo shoot. This years theme is 50's pinup/Grease vibe and is shot at the famous Pink Motel in Sun Valley California. The shoot starts out light and fun but quickly turns tense as Tom Sandoval learns that Jax has once again talked to Kristen about what happened in Miami and decides to confront him. As per usual Jax denies this conversation, even though it is going to air for the entire world to see. Katie forces Tom Schwartz to take action in their relationship by giving him an ultimatum, while Tom Sandoval and Ariana take their own relationship to a whole new level and decide to move in together. While Stassi accepts Lisa's invitation to the restaurant's anniversary party, she finds returning to SUR more tense than nostalgic and abruptly leaves. Her attendance wasn't the only surprise though; Kristen is also a guest at this party and it SEEMS like she is finally going to put the Miami girl situation to rest. We'll find out next week during the season finale if she sticks to her word about letting it go.

Kristen will stop at absolutely nothing to get Jax to admit that he knows the truth about Tom and Miami girl. She even goes so far as to illicit the help of her ex best friend and Jax whisperer, Stassi. Stassi tells her that she just needs to get Scheana and Jax in the same room and those two will gossip until they reach their breath.So Kristen does exactly that. And Jax does say that Tom and Miami girl were in a room together. And that he 100% "thinks" that they had sex. This is good enough for Kristen and all has become right in her world. But will she get the result she's hoping for between Tom and Ariana? Tune in next week to find out! But don't skip this episode because we have some good stories of our own past to share ;)

Scheana breaks down when her plan for a perfect wedding falls apart, but Ariana gives her a pep talk and eventually she loosens up a bit and enjoys her big moment. Despite telling Lisa she wouldn't be the one to cause drama at this wedding, Kristen lives up to everyone’s worst expectations when she fights with James at the reception. However, it isn't entirely her fault. We start to see some cracks in James facade and are quickly learning that he may have a problem handling alcohol.Tom Schwartz makes a bad situation worse when his apology gift to Katie leads to tears. In his attempt to make Katie feel better about their relationship and his continuous stepping out, he gives her a ring on a string. But this just makes Katie even more upset because she realizes that he is no where near being able to give her what she wants. Did you catch the familiar face in Scheana's wedding party? Another reality tv cast member was a bridesmaid. Listen to this episode to find out who it is!

We have finally arrived to Scheana's wedding weekend and while the wedding itself was more than we expected it to be, Scheana's wedding look somehow was even worse than we could have imagined. There was a lot to discuss in this episode and we don't want to give any of it away, so just hit that play button and enjoy!

Its groundhog day on this episode of Vanderpump Rules: another day, another cheating scandal. Kristen inadvertently finds texts on Jax's phone from Schwartz about him hooking up with yet another girl in Vegas. Jax implies that they slept together, but Schwartz tells Katie (while at dinner with Scheana and Shay) that he just made out with this girl and nothing more. That he can remember anyway. When Schwartz confronts Jax about spilling his secrets Jax said that if Schwartz didn't have secrets there wouldn't be a problem.  Kristen and Lisa go head to head about Kristens outburst at SUR in the previous episode. Kristen takes absolutely no responsibility (no surprise there) so Lisa finally pulls the plug AND FIRES HER ASS. About time.  Katie has lunch with Kristina and fills her in on the conversation she had with Stassi a few episodes back. Kristina says they just need to support Stassi because of the things she's going through. But Katie is kind of over that excuse and wondering "where has Stassi been for me during all the things I've been going through?" Meanwhile Scheana is gearing up for her upcoming wedding - tune in next week for an in depth look back on her extravegant day!   Dylan's Candy Bar (dylanscandybar.com) NSL Double Talk Podcast: Dylan Lauren Bush: Entrepreneurship Meets Philanthropy https://open.spotify.com/episode/3z1eYAr6B3vpOapKgIRFCz?si=xu6coPYiT0q6Zi4RlgEtyw

This episode is MESSY Kristen has managed to facilite a meet up between her and Miami girl aka Ann Marie, when Ann Marie just "happens" to be in LA for some unknown reason. Kristen basically convinces Ann Marie to go to SUR while Tom and Ariana are both working and confront him about cheating on Ariana. Ann Marie agrees, but when she gets to SUR, not all goes as planned. Tom and Ariana dip out (if you're caught up through season 11 you'll appreciate that reference) and they leave SUR completely. They straight up get in an Uber and drive away. Kristen acts like this was just the outcome she was hoping for, but it's very clear she is not happy that Tom wasn't "caught", nothing was revealed, and it did not cause Tom and Ariana to break up. If anything, it brought them even closer. After Tom and Ariana leave, Kristen and Ann Marie go out to the front patio to have a drink and when Scheana comes out to ask what happened a shouting match ensues between her and Kristen. This causes the manager Diana to come out to defuse the utter chaos that everyone in the restaurant and the street can now hear. But instead of calming down, Kristen has some choice words for Diana and she's asked to leave the restaurant.  When Tom and Ariana eventually do come back to finish their shifts, Ann Marie makes another appearance but this time Tom stays and is very clear that he never slept with Ann Marie. Ariana joins in telling Ann Marie that what she is doing is very inapproiate and has her escorted out of SUR.  No one can really understand how or why Ariana can believe Tom so easily knowing his past. But we know why. And we spill the beans, or should we say we spill Arianas beans, during this episode. If you want to know her little secret, listen to the episode right now!

WE'RE BACK!!! Thanks for hanging on while we took our own versions of Spring Break aka we made a lot of sourdough bread. In this episode Stassi refuses to forgive Katie for attending Scheana's bachelorette party and Katie must either fight for her friendship or cut Stassi out of her life. But while she's making that decision she's surprisingly standing her ground with Stassi and sticking up for herself. Kristen connects with the girl Tom Sandoval allegedly cheated on Ariana with, aka Miami girl, and is determined break up his relationship with Ariana, in the hopes of getting back together with him. Meanwhile Kristen's current boyfriend James is just sitting in the background watching Kristen try to ruin Tom's life while simultaniously trying to win him back. ....which is just fucking wierd. Stassi has started her own "business" making statement necklaces. No idea where she sells them or who she sells them to, but she has set up what she refers to as a studio in her apartment. And by studio we mean a small table where Stassi dispalys her crafts. From the looks of it this is NOT a shared apartment with her boyfriend Patrick, so what the heck is going on with them? OH and we can't forget that Peter thought he was taking Vail out on a date and she thought they were just going to grab coffee as friends and it was really awkward already, but Peter made it even more so when he creepily stared deeply into her eyes without blinking for a solid 20 seconds.  

We're taking a Spring Break!! But don't worry - we'll be back with brand new episodes on April 16th :) See you in two Tuesdays!

Its the end of the bachelor/bachelorette party in Miami and the whole group goes out for dinner with a suprise guest. Sandoval has invited an old friend from his and Jax's  early modeling days and when Jax reunites with this guy, it makes the group wonder if Jax is hiding secrets about his sexual past. On the ride to dinner, Ariana finally breaks down and tells Tom how much Kristins passive aggressive bullying is affecting her. When Tom hears this, he makes a tearful plea to Kristen to stop harassing Ariana, which Kristen takes as an admission that Tom is still in love with her. She immediately starts plotting to break the two of them apart. Back in LA, Lisa confronts Stassi for cutting Katie out of her life. But Stassi doesn't want to hear anything about it and leaves Lisa sitting at the table by herself with no plans to work things out with Katie.

The SUR crew puts aside their differences to celebrate Scheana and Shay's bachelor/bachelorette party in Miami with sun, sand, and a lot of liquor. Jax pursues Vail even though he is technically still dating Tiffany, AND he texts Carmen claiming that he will buy her plane ticket if she wants to meet them in Miami! But when Tom Sandoval calls him out for his lying, womanizing ways, Jax says he's ready to spill the beans on everyone. This makes Tom take a step back and reevaluate how hard he wants to be on Jax because apparenlty, he's got some secrets of his own that he doens't want revealed. Back in LA when a PUMP manager quits, Lisa calls on the one person she knows can fill the important role: her daughter, Pandora

Jax's girlfriend Tiffany hooks him and his friends up with a guys weekend in San Diego at the Hard Rock Cafe hotel. Joining Jax is Sandoval, Schwartz and Peter. While the rest of the guys are well behaved, Jax is up to his usual antics and enjoys the weekend in single man mentality. When the guys call him out about bringing girls back to the hotel and hooking up with one of them he flat out denies it. He calls Tiffany and tells her a long winded story, in which he "didn't do anything wrong", but Tiffany is less than pleased and hangs up on him. Pandora has planned Scheanas bridal shower and it's very feminine and floral and looks amazing. During the shower Ariana tells everyone about Jax hooking up with a girl in San Diego and when Kristen gets wind of this she is GIDDY with excitement at the thought of Sandovals Miami affair coming out now that he has thrown Jax under the bus. Scheana meets up with Stassi with the intention of inviting her to the bachelorette party in Miami, but Stassi makes it very clear that she has zero desire to be included and furthermore, doesn't want to maintain a friendship with Scheana. Scheana is clearly hurt by this and in retaliation spills the beans about Katie going on the trip. Stassi is taken by surprise at this knowledge and this sets up a potential storyline about Stassi and Katie having issues in their friendship

In typical Jax fashion, he is playing the field by subtly trying to win Vails attention, but Stassi plans on putting a stop to that by taking Vail under her wing and steering her away from Jax and everyone else she deems not suitable company from SUR. Katie and Tom are attempting to salvage their relationship by starting couples therapy. Although Tom isn't really into it at first and makes a joke about it, he leaves their first session feeling like he understands Katie better and what she needs from him going forward. James and Kristen pretty much invite themselves on Shay and Scheanas bachelorette/bachelor party in Miami and James tries to clear the air with Sandoval before the trip. But that just fuels Kristens anger even more and once she gets involved any hope of reconcilation between Kristen and Tom or James and Tom gets thrown right out the window. And now Kristen and James are on a mission to expose Toms supposed cheating and ruin him and Ariana for good.
