Vanderpump Rules: A Two-Year Cast Update - Where Are They Now?
Okay, so it's been two years since I last really dove into the drama-filled world of Vanderpump Rules. Two years! Crazy, right? I mean, I remember where I was when that whole Scandoval thing went down – sprawled on my couch, absolutely gobsmacked. I needed a whole bottle of wine, honestly. But, two years later, I figured it's time for a little update on my favorite (and sometimes least favorite) SURvers.
Jax and Brittany: Still Going Strong (Somehow)?
Remember Jax? Mr. Cheating-Heartthrob himself? Well, surprisingly, he and Brittany Cartwright are still together. I know, I know, I was shocked too. They've had their ups and downs, obviously – more downs than ups, if we’re being honest – but they're still making it work. I have to give them some credit for sticking it out, even if their relationship feels like watching paint dry sometimes. I'm kinda low-key rooting for them. They even had a kid – a little boy, I think? I've sort of lost track, honestly. The drama is definitely less intense now that they’re parents. Parenthood will do that, you know? That whole phase really changes things.
Tip: Keeping up with reality TV stars can be a full-time job. To avoid getting completely lost, I try to stick to a few trusted sources – like Bravo's official website and some reputable fan pages on social media. Avoid those crazy gossip sites! They're usually full of garbage.
Ariana and Tom: The End of an Era
Oh man, the Tom and Ariana saga. That was a ride. I mean, who could forget the cheating scandal that blew up the entire show? I'm still processing it all! It was so intense that even now, the feelings are still there. Their breakup was messy, heartbreaking, and just plain brutal to watch. They seemed so solid for so long. Remember their amazing apartment? Anyways, where are they now? Ariana seems to be focusing on her own thing – her career, herself. Good for her! Tom, well... he's still in the thick of it all, still on the show, still causing drama. Some things never change, I guess.
Tip: When following reality TV, it's important to separate the show's narrative from reality. It's all edited for maximum drama. Remember that these people are playing up to the cameras, so don't take everything you see at face value.
Scheana and Brock: Married Life and Babies!
Scheana Shay, She's found happiness, that’s for sure. She's married, has a baby girl, and seems genuinely happy. Remember when she was always searching for that special someone? It’s nice to see her settled down, even if it makes the show a little less spicy. The birth of her baby was a really nice moment that was beautifully filmed and I definitely got a little teary-eyed. Sometimes reality TV actually offers some very sweet, touching stories.
Tip: Reality TV can be addictive. To avoid spending all your free time watching, set limits for yourself. A couple of episodes a week, or only watching new episodes instead of binge-watching past seasons.
The Others...
There are so many other cast members! It’s hard to remember everything. Katie and Tom Schwartz are…still around. Lala Kent…well, Lala is always causing some drama. It’s hard to keep track of them all. It's a revolving door of relationships, breakups, and makeups, it's completely exhausting to keep up with. I think the new cast members are alright. I'm not as invested in them as the OG cast, though.
Tip: If you're feeling overwhelmed trying to keep up with every detail, focus on the main storylines and relationships. The smaller plot points aren't as essential for understanding the overall narrative.
This whole Vanderpump Rules experience has taught me a lot – mostly about the importance of setting boundaries and not taking reality TV too seriously. It's entertainment, folks! Enjoy the drama, but remember there's a real life behind those carefully crafted storylines. That's the best tip I can offer. And maybe invest in some really good wine. You'll need it.
