Ariana Madix share the moment with Tom Sandoval and Rachel Lewis in her hot tub that didn’t quite make the cut for the latest episode of Vanderpump Rulesalthough it includes jokes about “groups”.
In a series of just-released deleted scenes, Ariana looks closer to Sandoval and Raquel, whose sordid relationship was exposed in early March, as Raquel bragged that Sandoval never came to one of her beauty pageants – and gave her some good advice.
During one of the deleted scenes, as Ariana and Scheana Shay talk Katie MaloneyScheana asked Raquel to speak out as she revealed that Sandoval was there for her after the divorce and came to see her Las Vegas show twice.
“You are the only people who come and see me. James came and saw me, too. Katie didn’t even come to see my f-cking show in Vegas. He wasn’t there for me during that time,” Scheana said.
“I came twice,” Sandoval interjected.
“You came twice,” Scheana confirmed. “You gave me the best notes and you made my performance better during the whole run.”
At that moment, Raquel exclaims, “Oh my God! That makes me so happy because he did the same thing for me in my pageant,” and a flashback clip shows Sandoval’s video of him mentoring her.
“What I wanted was an attitude of power, like, ‘I’ve got this motherf-cker,'” he said in the video.
“It’s like the best support system in the world,” Raquel gushed when Ariana said she was “robbed of her crown.”
“It’s not meant to be honest, because I wouldn’t act like I am if I’m Miss California,” Raquel reasoned.
Then, during the rest Pump Rules deleted scene, a friend is seen taking photos of Ariana, Sandoval, and Raquel are posing together in the hot tub now-Ex-couple’s.
“It really hurts. I like white glasses and a mustache, floating with pasties,” said a friend.
“It’s a vibe. It’s a vibe. We got it,” Raquel agreed.
“It’s not true, look at this. This is really cool,” the friend continued with Ariana, “Oh shit,” and Raquel noted, “These photos are better not to be seen.”
“They’re not going anywhere. They’re not going anywhere. Just ourselves,” Ariana promised when Sandoval confirmed that the photo was on her cell phone.
Ariana then admitted that the three of them looked like a “group”.
“It looks like we’re in a group. It’s like we’re on a romantic vacation,” she suggested.
