SHOW NOTES:

On this bonus episode of The Everygirl Podcast, Josie has free reign to to talk about her one true life passion: Vanderpump Rules. This week, she is joined by Fashion Editor Madeleine Galassi and Editor-in-Chief Allyson Trammell to dive deep into the season 10 reunion. The episode begins with a conversation about the reunion itself, before addressing more specifics about Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss’ affair. Josie, Allyson, and Maddie discuss how they felt about the explosive ending to the reunion, when Raquel revealed that Tom had been cheating on his wife, Ariana Madix, with her for far longer than had previously been revealed. The three speculate on why producers chose to push back filming the reunion and were so secretive about that particular piece of information, as well as why Raquel decided to reveal that in the first place. Then, the conversation turns to Tom Sandoval: how awful his behavior was, and what it means for the future of Vanderpump Rules and reality television itself. Josie brings up Raquel and Tom’s behavior during and after the reunion, and Maddie and Allyson speculate on whether Raquel truly feels sorry for what she did to Ariana. Maddie posits that Tom and Raquel had a plan for how they were going to go about getting together before Ariana discovered their affair, and the three discuss why that plan was completely delusional. The conversation returns to how manipulative Tom was to both Raquel and Ariana, and how the only thing he had ever had going for him throughout the past several seasons was his relationship with Ariana. Then, Josie opens up the conversation to a broader discussion of cheating on Vanderpump Rules and the implications of Tom’s misogynistic comments and actions. The episode closes with Josie, Maddie, and Allyson discussing their predictions for how the show will continue.
