Let’s face it:
It will be impossible for Vanderpump Rules to make it past season 10.
In the most recent batch of episodes, Ariana Madix learns that Tom Sandoval cheated on her with Raquel Leviss, resulting in one of the biggest scandals in reality TV history.
Therefore, Leviss will not return for season 11.
However, at BravoCon on November 3, Madix, Katie Maloney, Lala Kent, James Kennedy, Tom Schwartz, Scheana Shay and Sandoval were all in attendance.
And the trailer shown to attendees for the first time showed that this new season would have no shortage of drama.
In the footage, the group is seen on a beach outing where James draws a line between Ariana and Sandoval’s respective sides.
“Don’t cross the line,” he warns the others as the actors reunite on screen.
In a separate scene with Lala and Scheana, Lisa Vanderpump tries to defend Sandoval, telling the women:
“Losing your best friend and your business is a bad thing. Everything has gone wrong in his life. »
Well yeah.
But whose fault is it?!?
At one point in the preview, Sandoval gets a hug from Scheana, but Katie points out that she will always be on Team Ariana.
“If you want to be friends with him, she’s going to interrupt you,” Katie tells Scheana. “Think very carefully about your next move. »
The most shocking moment, however, comes when Ariana addresses Sandoval directly.
“Ruining my life, my house, then trying to kill my fucking dog. My lawyer will take care of you,” she says before Sandoval considers leaving in another scene from the beach outing.
Sandoval said he considered suicide following his infamous affair.
The controversy has taken its toll on almost everyone involved in the series.
“There was one day (that was) beyond the most emotionally draining day I’ve ever had in 11 seasons of Vanderpump Rules,” Scheana said during her Amazon Live in July.
“No joke, my eyelashes hurt from all the crying I had that day. My contacts were dry and I was congested. I felt weak in every way possible. Eleven seasons and that day gave me the most.
Lala, for her part, also hinted that viewers would experience some surprising twists and turns.
“There will be a day when the dust settles. People are moving forward. It’s the weirdest season we’ve ever filmed,” she said on her Give Them Lala podcast that same month.
“Usually when we’re filming, I’m like, ‘I can’t wait for this to air.’ » This cycle, I’m more like, “I’m going to do and be, and then I’m going to step away because I’m in the process of healing right now.” »
Season 11 of Vanderpump Rules premieres in July.
