Vanderpumped

Ruby is off discovering America at Plymouth Rock this week, so Hope and Caitlin are on their own to tackle Brittany's homophobic mom, hypnotherapy, Katie's bridesmaid drama, and horses?

We're back! After what feels like the longest hiatus since Stassi left Vanderpump Rules, we're finally back with an all new ep covering the post Sonoma and Montauk fall out. Will Lala explain why she didn't show up to Ariana's birthday trip? Will Jax behave around Brittany's conservative, southern mother? Will Lisa buy Katie an appropriate Bridal Shower gift? The answer to all of these questions is no, but join us as we unpack all of this and more.

We inch closer towards modern times as we start season 5! And as per usual, we have a plethora of drama to catch up on from when the cameras weren't rolling.

Everyone is back from Hawaii. Lisa is not happy with Jax, Ariana & Tom can't paint, Stassi tried to give Lisa $900, and Scheana gets Shay drunk. What a time!!!

Jax continues to lie about his flirtations with Lala in front of Brittany, but Hawaii's karmic energy is coming for him. Meanwhile, Katie and Shorts have still not sealed the deal with fiancé sex, and other ring-not-on-a-string couple Scheana and Shay hit a rough patch when Shay gets drunk after Scheana explicitly tells him to only do one beer bong instead of three. In West Hollywood, Stassi makes her first appearance of the season as does Kevin, Kristen's new boyfriend/sugar baby who may or may not have a serious girlfriend. Also, Hope, Caitlin, and Ruby plan a listener meet up on July 23rd at TomTom -- RSVP on Twitter or Instagram @vanderpumpedpod.

We are finally in Hawaii!! We find out Caitlin has been to Hawaii FOUR times before, but that one was with extremely questionable (or totally normal?) accommodations. Lala stays true to her promise to take her top off when she's in water -- despite the wandering eyes of Jax and Shorts. Sandoval meanwhile, is more focused on finding fun, Hawaii-only activities such as hiking, and Ariana is fuming over texts between Scheana and her mom. Did we mention how happy we are to be in Hawaii?

This week neither the Vanderpump Rules cast nor Ruby, Hope, and Caitlin are in Hawaii. Somehow! However, that doesn't mean we can't heat things up right here in SUR-land. For one, a Stassi return seems imminent as she texts Katie congratulations on her engagement and is sneaking in off-camera visits to SUR. Also, Max (Lisa's son) takes center stage with a gnarly mouth injury. And, Kristen is a true Kristen. But really, we want to go to Hawaii! Will someone send us on a private jet to Hawaii?

This week, we dive back into #tattoogate as Ariana immediately makes Sandoval consult with Dr. Tattoff (employee Emily) to get rid of his flaming A tattoo. Meanwhile, Tom Shorts is finally ready to commit to Katie with a ring NOT on a string...unless he proposes to Lisa first. We also talk the inner workings of Jax Taylor as his official girlfriend Brittany moves to LA only a day after Jax is caught flirting with Lala. 

It's morning in Vegas and the Toms are waking up to their brand new...well, we'll let you guess. Meanwhile back in West Hollywood, Ariana and Tom Sandoval are performing at legendary comedy theater, The Improv -- during the prime "middle of the day" time slot. Also Jax helps Kristen get back in the dating game Lisa wonders if Tom Shorts will propose to her before Katie.

It's Ariana's birthday and she's going all-out with a kids' themed party for her 30th...but will her big day be ruined by the boys' impending Vegas trip? After all, they ARE going to a construction playground where you can play with bulldozers! Meanwhile, Lala and James bond over their mutual exclusion and Ruby reveals a SHOCKING secret she learned about Caitlin and Hope.

This week, we're diving into another episode before summer when we'll be "extremely busy with like birthdays and trips" (and podcasting). We meet James's mom, Jacqueline, and suddenly everything makes sense, and we also hear a pitch from the Toms that makes zero sense. The main event though, is a charity dinner hosted by Lisa for a group of homeless teens which is genuinely very sweet...but does Peter ruin it with his birthday plans? 

It's Pride again, and SUR is popping with both drinks and drama. We discuss James and Lala and Lala and Jax and James and Lauren -- or is it Laura? We also check in on Scheana SHAY and Shay Shay's marriage but not before we touch down on Shay and Toms Shorts and Sandy's uh, erotic workout. We also hear the debut of a new Vanderpump original song thanks to DJ JK.

Eric Isenhower is a guest this week! Scheana tries to help Shay's addiction through diet & exercise! Lala and James make out! Kristen is (understandably) upset! And our favorite character, Peter, gets a haircut! What an ep.

Scheana's drama with Shay comes to a head as she involves the ENTIRE GROUP in a conversation with him about his drug and alcohol use -- but that doesn't keep her from modeling for Katie's blog (?) Pucker & Pout. James and Kristen start couples therapy for some reason and Jax's NOT girlfriend Brittany comes into SUR for another interview with Lisa -- will she bring her paper resume this time or will her looks be enough?

This week, we discuss our field trip to Tom Tom and the VERY SPECIAL PERSON we encountered. Meanwhile on Vanderpump Rules, the SUR servers and bartenders get a special re-training from the Pump staff -- and they are not happy about it. We also learn that Scheana and Shay are already on the rocks, but that doesn't stop Scheana from helping Tom Shorts pick out a ring that is definitely not on a string.

On this week's episode, we officially welcome new SUR host Lala onto the show...at least until she has to jet off to Italy for a "modeling job." We also meet Jax's new girlfriend Brittany -- who interviews at SUR with neither a resume nor pants. We also learn whom Tom Shorts loves more: Katie, Gordo, or his new perm.

We're starting Season 4, baby! It's been 9 months since Katie's 6-month ultimatum, we meet Jax's sweet mother, and we go to a decade party - A DECADE party. Aka dress up as ANYTHING?! Anyway, it's the start of another great season and we are (vander)PUMPED!
