Season 12: Vanderpump Rules – New Faces, Fresh Drama!

Okay, so you guys know I'm obsessed with Vanderpump Rules. Like, seriously obsessed. I've watched every single episode, multiple times. I even have a Lisa Vanderpump-inspired cocktail shaker (don't judge!). So, when Season 12 rolled around with a whole bunch of new faces, I was, like, super excited, but also a little nervous. Would they live up to the drama? Would they be interesting enough to keep me glued to the screen?

Let's just say... it was a rollercoaster.

The Newbies: Hit or Miss?

First off, let's talk about the newbies. There were a few, and honestly, some were more memorable than others. I mean, some of them blended right into the background, which is a shame because I really wanted everyone to shine. It's tough being a new face in such a well-established cast; you really need a strong personality. There were definitely a few who were pretty forgettable, but that's totally fine, I guess. It's just the way things go sometimes.

Remember how annoyed I was when they added [insert name of a forgettable character] in Season [insert season number]? Yeah, it was kind of the same vibe with a few of the new people this season. My advice to anyone trying to break into reality TV? Be yourself, but amp it up. Don't be afraid to be bold, to be opinionated – just make sure you're entertaining.

Learning from Past Mistakes

One thing I've learned from watching years of VPR (and other reality shows, let's be honest) is that producers love conflict. So, if you want screen time, you gotta bring the drama. But, and this is important, don't be a total villain. I've seen plenty of people self-destruct by being overly aggressive or just plain mean. It makes for good TV, sure, but it doesn't usually lead to a long career.

What I’m trying to say is: be strategic! Find ways to create drama without being the complete bad guy. It's a fine line, and some people just completely miss it. And let me tell you, it’s painful to watch! I always cringe when someone's being a total jerk. I mean, people can be jerks, but not everyone has to be.

My Season 12 Highlights (and Lowlights)

The good stuff was, of course, the usual VPR shenanigans: drunken nights out, messy relationships, and explosive arguments. The new cast members added a fresh perspective, and even though some of them were a bit underwhelming, they provided more fuel to the fire. I also really liked how the new cast members interacted with the old cast members. Some were more dramatic than others. This aspect felt fresh and exciting.

But there were some seriously cringe-worthy moments, too. Like, there were some interactions that were just completely awkward, the kind of thing you'd want to just hide under the sofa until it was over. I think some of the new people might have been a bit too nervous, but that is completely understandable.

The Power of Editing (and How to Work It)

This is a crucial point, guys! Don't underestimate the power of editing. Reality TV is heavily edited, and what you see on screen isn't always the full picture. So, even if you think you’ve totally nailed an interaction, it could end up looking completely different. Even if you’re the most amazing person, bad editing can make you appear to be the villain. The producers have the final say. Be mindful of this, and try to create your best persona.

The Takeaway

Ultimately, Season 12 of Vanderpump Rules was a success. While not every new face added massive value to the show, the new additions to the cast created some good storylines and helped propel the season forward. The show remains entertaining, and I’ll certainly be tuning in for Season 13!

If you're thinking about pursuing reality TV, remember: be yourself (but amp it up!), be strategic, and be prepared for the power of editing. Good luck!
