Will Scandoval sign back Vanderpump Rules? If Ariana Madix not willing to work Tom Sandoval moving forward, will Well done cover it? Or is this just a new beginning for the show?
After exiting the troubled cast members (Christian Doute, Jax Taylor, and Stassi Schroeder) and the disastrous season 9, it seemed like the end of the road for the beloved reality series for a while. But fans have called Season 10 a return to form. And then came Scandoval…
Shocking news Sandoval and Rachel Lewis‘ the months-long relationship behind Ariana has completely revitalized the show, because it shook fans for a long time and even attracted those who have never seen an episode to the drama over the past three weeks.
People have tuned in every week to dissect every interaction between Sandoval, Raquel, Ariana to see the signs of an impending explosion. There is no doubt that more people will be watching the much-anticipated season 10 reunion later, especially if things heat up as reports suggest! The cheating scandal – despite the dire circumstances for some involved – is the gold standard. But what happens when the chaos dies down? Where Vanderpump Rules leave here after the reunion airs? Will Ariana leave? Will Sandoval and Raquel be fired? Will it be too much drama for the show to handle??

according to Entertainment Tonight There are many things up in the air right now regarding the future of the show. A source against the outlet VPR not renewed for Season 11, and the team behind the series has been meeting to figure out what to do moving forward. In the next few weeks, the insider said, they “will float different ideas moving forward.” One idea on the table focused on Ariana and Katie Maloney opening a new business – and veering away from Scandoval:
“Maybe way after the storm, focus on it [Katie and Ariana’s sandwich shop] Something About Her, and going that route, doesn’t focus on this drama.
We would love to see Ariana date again, find a man who will treat her right. But will it be enough excitement if we keep walking around the elephant in the room?
You might be surprised Bravo potentially won’t follow up on the cheating scandal, given that it’s already giving the show another shot. But there is a small problem. Apparently, Ariana doesn’t want to film with her ex-boyfriend anymore! Insiders claim:
“Ariana said that, unless absolutely necessary, she would not do a movie with Tom Sandoval. She expressed her feelings [at the reunion] and now it’s time to escape from Tom.
They deserve time to shine and develop on their own – but they will definitely cause some problems during production! If Ariana doesn’t want to work with us anymore, we can choose Katie, Scheana Shay, Lala Kentrung, James Kennedy, and others don’t want to do it either. And the group definitely didn’t want to film with Raquel moving forward. Only people who might be willing to record with them Tom Schwartzbut who knows where he stands after the reunion?
So where does that leave the cheaters? At ET insider noted that Raquel’s place Vanderpump Rules “up in the air” and Sandoval is a “question mark.” But if you ask us, it doesn’t seem to have a future on the show. Considering fans were calling for her to be fired when their relationship came to light and Ariana no longer wanted to film with Sandoval, it looks like her time on the show is up.
When the production has no idea how the show will continue, each ET, the consensus seems to be that they want fans to “get another season” – even if they move away from Scandoval. Fortunately, they will have some things to change the cheating drama.
As you know, season 10 starts after Lala ends her engagement with Randall Emmett after he was accused of lying. Eventually, another charge was brought against him. Custody battles with filmmakers and any drama that could be the focus. The producers also mentioned that they will continue to show how Schwartz and Katie “manage after the divorce and find a way to make certain people happy.”
Of course, the producers could work on whatever comes out of the reunion for the next season. Speaking about this, a source told ET who recorded the reunion felt “sad, but relieved,” adding:
“Tom [Sandoval] is aggressive, Raquel does not say much from the camera and is very tired.
The insider went on to say that “it’s like being weak, everyone’s really supportive, and caring and getting their shit together, but with their heads held high”:
“Sandoval ended up regretting it, the least she liked. Raquel found out that Sandoval loved her more than Ariana.
Well…
Obvi the relationship between Raquel and Sandoval could potentially be a storyline if they weren’t given the boot. But we are sure that no one wants to see the game on the screen! Can we just film with each other..?
Many are up in the air now! What do you think, Perezcious readers? What do you expect to see moving forward if VPR is updated? Do you think Sandoval and Raquel will be fired from the show? Vote OFF in the comments below.
