Vanderpump Rules

Summary

The future tense ofVanderpump Ruleshas been an undecided query and , after season 11 , it ’s more uncertain than ever — after watching part 3 of the reunion , though , I ’m not worried about what lies onward for the long - running series . In season 9,Vanderpump Ruleshit a creative and ratings nadir , butseason 10 ’s Scandovalbreathed novel life into a show that look like it was hitch to the finish pedigree . Every cast member capitalized on the extremely - bare outrage that saw Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval ’s kinship fall apart due to Sandoval ’s thing with fellow cast extremity Rachel Leviss .

Vanderpump Rulesseason 11 has often felt like a disappointment even in it ’s most fascinating minute .

This is the typical timeline for the show , but its proximity to Scandoval resulted in a batch of episodes that rehashed the same points over and over .

Ariana Madix , one of the star of the hit Bravo boob tube show Vanderpump Rules , might be hinting at her future with her late Instagram activity .

Madix ’s arc on the season made for in effect television receiver , but in a way that we ’re not used to onVanderpump regulation . In the past , fault - ups have resulted in devastating conversation — think Kristen Doute and Sandoval ’s Miami breakdown , something Madix even references at the time of year 11 reunion . Without that , though , and with Madix focusing on herself and her other life history venture , something felt like it was miss this season , run to previous close - times proclamation from doomsday - scrollers on societal media .

Ariana & Tom’s Reunion Part 3 Conversation Teases The Path Forward For Vanderpump Rules

Season 12 Of The Series May Look Very Different

I wo n’t lie — I ’ve wanted a conversation between Madix and Sandoval all time of year . I kept recall back to the scene between Doute and Sandoval in Miami , a tearful exchange that was both philia - wrenching and a little bit idiotic , mainly due to Sandoval ’s overly theatrical nature . Kent is n’t wrong in betoken out that these conversation are part of the job .

In defending her pick to walk out of the reunification , though , Madix mention the Miami conversation as the very reason she does n’t want to verbalize to Sandoval on camera , and she ’s perfectly justified in her feelings . Making the plaster bandage check the final part of theVanderpump Rulesseason 11 finaleresulted in the most heartbreaking view of the season as Madix was forced to justify many of her actions and confront her ex , but she should n’t have had to in the first spot .
