Transcript

 Hello, hello, hello. This is Who the Fuck Knows with Emily Rose. I'm Emily Rose coming to you live in my living room. So if you hear a little bit of echoing, uh, you'll be all right. And I am here recording with the lovely Elena. Hello, Elena. Hello, Emily. We just watched the season 11 of Vanderpump Rules premiere and Suffice it to say, we have thoughts.

Um, Elena, I want to start off asking, like, how do you feel? We just watched the premiere. How do you feel about all of it? Well, I'm I guess I was telling you this before about how, like, I'm prepared for it to not be, you know, this huge premiere and it may be a flop. I don't think it necessarily was a flop.

I just feel like it's a little underwhelming compared to what we ended on from last season. Yeah. So, I definitely can see there being More of a pickup throughout, but for the first episode, it was kind of more of like, sentimental to me and a little mushy for my liking. It was definitely, definitely mushy.

There was a lot of stuff that I didn't want. Like, right before the episode started, I told you I did not want to have a bunch of, James and Allie, like, getting ready scenes and there were so many of those. It's like they heard exactly what you said. And then they just did that. The exact thing. I was very annoyed, to be honest.

Yeah, it was a little disjointed and a little weird, too, because we're Today, the episode that Tom Schwartz and Tom Sandoval did on Nick Vile's podcast came out. And That was riveting to say the least. Yeah, it was very, it was compelling. I think I couldn't look away. I don't know. I mean, you know what? And now thinking about it is that's probably why this first episode didn't.

Really shocked me so much because we had just listened to that and that was a lot to take in.

Guys, if you haven't watched, I'm probably, um, Lindsay, if you're listening, sorry, I think we're going to have to talk about the podcast tomorrow when we record. Um, I will be doing a deep dive on this episode, uh, tomorrow with Lindsay of Vanderbilt recaps, but yeah, if you guys haven't watched that, I also strongly encourage you to watch it.

so much. Rather than just listen to the Toms on Nick Viall because it's really a different experience. Yes. I think. Um, so, also just knowing that Sandoval wasn't in this episode. We didn't see Sandoval except in flashbacks and clips and I mean I'm fine with that but it definitely felt like a piece of the story was missing almost.

Right. And that's why, you know, it felt a little bit like we didn't really touch on anything that we knew about. I'm not saying that we knew about, but it didn't give us, like, that spicy aspect of it. Because he's not there. There's no one there to avoid him. Or, you know, that awkwardness. But, I know you're going to say something about Falala.

Oh yeah. Reaching out to Raquel things, so I'm not gonna even get there yet. No, I mean, we can, we can get into it. I'm not really going because I didn't take notes, so I kind of, it's all kind of jumbled to me, but yeah, they have, well, before we get there, I do want to say one thing. There was a lot of like slow motion happening in this episode, and I feel like we could have taken that time that was slow motion and filled that with content instead of slow motion shots of everyone walking in.

Now the only one that I thought was effective. was Ariana and Katy walking into TomTom arm in arm and then the flashback side by side of the first time of the TomTom opening. That was really effective to me. Um, and then, emotionally, I was kind of taken aback by how emotional I felt watching this scene of Ariana, like, being in TomTom for the first time since the whole scandal broke, and I think it was because I've been there, like, I was like, oh, I know that exact feeling of being in the place that meant something to you and your partner, and being in that place for the first time without that person in your life, like, it is Jarring, especially when that place or event or whatever is designed around your person, your ex person.

Like, that is really heavy. And the flashbacks, and it's like, you know, they, they, they did have a lot of happy times. I guess it just did feel like the past couple of seasons, you know, season 10 and season 9. That they were putting on it really felt that way, but when we watched those flashbacks It's like no, there was a reason we were all charmed by their Whole thing they had going on, you know, I mean, yeah up until Scandal all happened I sat there and I've I think they said this on, uh, Nick's podcast too, where I was looking at Ariana and Tom as like the couple that I was like, wow, they're the only ones that aren't like, I mean, yeah, people say that they act differently off camera than they do on camera.

But at the same time, I was just like, they're the only couple that's like actually going strong in literally like two days later that broke out. And I was like, huh. Yeah. There's no hope. There is no hope. There isn't. Now, we get a little bit, speaking of hope, we get a little bit of Ariana's new relationship.

Yes. With Dan. Do you have thoughts on that? I don't think I have, maybe on, with Rob Schulte, but I don't think I've shared my thoughts on Dan quite yet. And I'm wondering if you have any. I, I don't feel Any type of way about him personally, what I will say about Ariana is, is that she is somebody that probably struggles with being alone for a long period of time by herself because I don't know what this man did to her, but for me, attaching yourself to somebody that soon It doesn't, I'm not saying that he's feeling a void for her, but I think he definitely, um, distracted her from everything that was going on.

And I'm not saying that she doesn't like him, doesn't love him or anything like that, but you just got out of a, a relationship that ended horribly. Yeah. And now you like, she said it was, I feel like she said it was five days later or like whenever that damn wedding was That's when they they met and ever since then they've been talking and all that and I'm just like, yeah You don't it said more about her like I can't really say anything about him.

The man cooks he works out a jet works out a lot He sees a bartender and a personal trainer. There you go in my experience Both of those. Deadly combo. Both of those types of men have a very specific toxic I'm not saying every single personal trainer or every single bartender, obviously that is ridiculous but really combining the two is a move.

When you look at both of those professions in the environments alone sets you up to Be looking through somebody's phone. Yeah Every night in every afternoon. Like who did you train today? Yeah, literally who was at the bar? Was it the regular girl that comes in all the time? And I also feel like I mean very similar to you.

I don't a lot of people are like, well, he's an opportunist. I Don't know him Right. I don't really know anything about him. So I don't know that he's an opportunist, but I know that Ariana probably should, I mean, I don't, I hate when it's like, Oh, I, I shouldn't judge, but I, I'm going to just be myself and judge and say, like, you should take some time to yourself.

Right. You, you're not going to be able to foster a serious relationship right now. It's also a lot to put on. I'm sure there's things that they go through, like what we see is just everybody's happy. But I'm sure. She has her moments of like struggling with confidence and, um, security. And I could only imagine how stressful that could be for somebody that's dating someone that just went through that.

Right. Now you kind of have to feel like you're walking on eggshells, or you don't want to trigger that person in any way, right? And that's kind of hard to navigate, especially when you're just doing things that you would do out of the ordinary. Yeah, where now you have to think about it and be like, well, I am just Facetiming this girl that I've, you know, trained like we're not doing anything else.

Yeah. Well, and even not even knowing how she's going to respond necessarily. I just think really, it's not the cheating that I think was a traumatic event necessarily, but the amount of years that she has spent like defending him, Tom Sandoval, and like caping for him and Schwartzing him from what we saw on today's Nick Viall podcast, like speaking for him and all of that stuff, like, and then realizing that he was Literally did not give a fuck about any of that.

Even when she knew about the Miami girl. She defended him up until this happened. Yep. And That's years of lying for somebody. Like, that's gonna take a toll on your mental health. That would fuck, like, that would fuck me up. Yeah. It would be the center of every Well, if I stayed with the person, it would be the center of every Conversation or fight that we've had or had and you would need time to like sort out how you're not gonna do that again because you're you want to get I would think you would want to get out of the habit of of Presenting someone a certain way or presenting a relationship.

I don't know. I just I Disagree with the decision to be in a relationship and putting it on the show Yeah, I disagree with that that decision of hers I will say with the opportunist thing and maybe he could be somebody like a Monica Kind of just playing it on the download, but I feel like if he was an opportunist because I've heard her talk about like them him moving to LA or whatever, but He's not going for it at the moment.

So I feel like if he was an opportunist, he'd probably hop on that opportunity quick, but then again You know, he does have a real job and a real job, and he could just be playing it slow. You know, like I don't want to come in too hot because they did just get together. Not too, not too later after she just went through this whole situation with Tom.

But that's what I'm like too, like, does he not understand what just happened? Because like you were saying, like. If a guy, or girl, that I wanted to date was like, telling me that they just went through that, I would be like, well, we probably don't need to be doing anything right now. And like, no, I'm not going to move across the country because you have a lot to sort out that I don't want any residual.

You're living with the guy. And it doesn't matter, I mean, do I personally wonder from time to time if If, if Ariana and Sandoval hooked up, I do wonder, but, you know, not even just that. It's just like, this guy is still a part of your life in that way. That's it's not like a Katie and Tom situation where they shared dogs, you know, right.

You're actually, cause I could see with Katie and Tom, like they don't have to see each other. No, they don't. They had those dogs since. They got those dogs being together, so it makes sense that they do the whole sharing thing. And that's honestly not, it's not a messy, that is not a messy situation in and of itself.

I mean, I'm sure they make it messy because they can be messy people, but like, I could, I could handle that. I could process that. Yeah. Like, living, and then like, his, the mistress is in like, locked away in a facility, and then like, It's just like, it's a little much for me, and then you're asking me to move across the country?

Why would I do that? Right. So that's where I'm coming from. It's not an indictment on either of their personalities or on the validity of their feelings for each other. It's just like, this feels like an Because also, even at the time of filming, like, Ariana was getting all these opportunities, so I would be like, okay, what, I'm gonna move out to LA and then you're gonna be gone?

Right. Getting every motherfucking opportunity that you could possibly get. I don't know. Not in a rude way, but just in a practical way. I would not want to. No, that makes sense. Deal with that. Why would I pick up my life and move all the way to a different part of the country where I'm only gonna see you the same amount of times that I see you right now?

Right. If probably less, you know? I don't know. I, well, we can get off of that because I'm, I'm sure I'll get into that. more later. But, uh, so let's talk about Sheena for just a second. Sheena, Sheena Marie. Sheena. She didn't really have a whole lot going on this episode. No, aside from her talking about flashbacks about the couch from the conversation she had with Tom, I didn't really, there wasn't really like a Sheena moment that I picked up on aside from that.

And then. The conversation, Lala, Katie, and Ariana were having at dinner where, you know, she's expressing, I know you love Sheena, but she's making it about Sheena when it comes to the Tom thing. She's like, I mean, and I was hurt too, so you didn't think about that? It's like, it's not about you though. She was like, so, okay, even if you're not thinking about like how that affects Ariana, you're not even thinking about how it affects me.

Like, what about me though? Like, okay, girl. But, that was an interesting conversation between the four of them, um, that I was having a little bit of a hard time following. So, Lala, well, it spawned from this weird ass decision Lala made. And, I want to be clear. Nothing Lala does surprises me, ever. Okay, nothing she says surprises me because I know not to rely on anything that she says.

Because she's not true to her word. That's not in her nature, right? So, her having the revelation that she was maybe a little unfair, essentially, to Raquel and telling Lisa Vanderpump this, and then saying all those things that people told me for years. Like, that they called me a mistress and the other woman and a homewrecker.

They're all like, kind of true, I think. And you, you saw my reaction. Elena, you know how that I was like, not amused. Screaming at the TV. Like, yeah, babe, but then what struck me was not so much that she made the decision to reach out to Raquel, but it's like, why are you doing this? here. Why are you having this dramatic revelation, and then doing it on camera, and then you're going out the back, and you're having this weird ass another slow motion montage, you're in this ridiculous fucking jumpsuit thing.

With the boots attached. With the boots attached, and then you're out there, you're, you're doing the voice message. I don't know. I don't think I want, I don't want that. I don't want that. Well, you know what's also funny about Lala is that she's talked about multiple times how she's all about action, right?

Uh huh. And so, in this instance, I'm like, maybe you shouldn't do it. Maybe you shouldn't have done that. You know, you could have, you could have expressed how you felt like you've been there and you could put yourself in Rachel's shoes. But, bold move, I mean, to go ahead and reach out. And I mean, give all of that in a VM?

Wouldn't that be better served as like a conversation? I would hope so. But you know what? Maybe Maybe Lala knew that she probably wasn't going to have a lot of a storyline this season. I was just about to say. And so she was like, let me go ahead and squeeze this one in real quick. So then by the end of this season, everybody can be over it.

Yeah. I think, yeah. Just to pop it off real quick. It's either that or she like, caught on. And I will give her credit for this. She knows, she knows when, um, when a season's flopping, right? And when a, when a show is boring. So maybe in that moment she was like this is fucking boring we got Sheena and Ariana holding hands and there's Slow motion like let me spice this shit up and for that I say I need, she need to distract away from that outfit she was wearing.

All of them. And the, and then the confessional cowboy titties. I just. It was giving the Lake Havasu flashback of the, the sparkle skirts and the cowboy hat. Take me back. Yeah. Um, we also, we did focus a lot on the main cast, so we didn't get any side characters really, we didn't get, you know, the cameos from the valley people, which, uh, I believe they said episode 8.

Is when Jax is supposed to make an appearance and they're gonna do a backdoor pilot into the valley so we can look forward to that. Um, we got a little bit of Katie and Schwartz. Their relationship is so aggravating to me but it doesn't like really like, it doesn't aggravate me the way that like Lala makes me mad.

It's just they are both really obnoxious people and together. Yeah, and he has like a beetle collection. I'm like, what are you doing girl? Get out of that house Also, it's just like Katie's vibe nowadays with the haircut and just the way she's been dressing Now when her and Tom are together, I just feel like She's so dominant over him.

Like she's always been like mentally dominant. Yes. Yes But it's just the presence as she walks in the door. It's like He's almost scared. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he's very timid, right? I'd be scared if I was true truly and he's be bopping around and trying to be friends with Ariana, which was Yeah, why I don't know why he does that where he puts himself in those situations to be ignored in front of everybody saying it's like Extreme people pleasing.

Yeah, I don't know any he actually talked about that on vile files come to think of it Um, how he's like, needing to change his people pleasing ways. He's not doing a good job, clearly. Um, but it's really, like, I don't know people that, that are like that, I don't think. I don't know people that have, I have lots of friends that have toxic traits, but I don't think that's one of them.

No, I don't know anybody that, am I the people pleaser? I wonder like, Oh shit. I'm a people pleaser, but not to that extent where I would put myself in a scenario where I know someone does not like me. And if I'm going up to a table that they're at, I'm not going to, maybe I'll address the people around them, but I'm not going to.

Pick them out of the table to be like, Hey, just to be shut down. No, unless I was really trying, unless it was like antagonistic. Right. Which I don't think I would do that either. Unless you're like, just trying to get a rise out of somebody real quick. Right. Right, right, right. Yeah. Really weird stuff. Um, let's see what else.

Uh, I already talked about James and Allie, very, very boring, very, um, uninteresting. Oh, James and, uh, Schwartz go to dinner. Uh, also very boring. James and, that was a weird dinner too. Right. They were weird together. I was like, guys, you are not the it couple. How did this come about? Like, why did they go to dinner together?

I think because Tom was at Special Forces. And, and Schwartz doesn't, yeah, no one else will film with him, but Katie and James. That is true. Yeah. That is true. And Katie probably barely only has to do it because she has to come get Gordo and Butters for God's sake. For the dogs. So, yeah, they kind of talk about, James goes, Oh, we're going to name it James and Schwartzies.

I was like, why the fuck would you do that? Why the fuck would he do that? You're not a part of the restaurant, James, you idiot. Shut up. Exactly. He's just talking to talk because he knows good and goddamn well, everybody's got one eye on him. I'm waiting for him to make the wrong damn move. I'll tell you that right now.

I wonder how Allie, now we're over jumping, but I wonder how Allie feels about I feel like this wasn't necessarily touched on, but there was something that I saw where she was talking about like, well, he's changed and he's becoming a better person. And I don't know what the fuck I saw that on, but I don't know.

It seems like Kristen was pretty adamant about what she said about James. And I can believe it even when I've been watching. Um, old episodes, like season, the season with Lala, when she first comes, yeah, or four. Yeah. When she's first introduced in, you know, her and Randall had just started talking and they're going through like their breakup thing.

When he did the flip flops. Yeah. And James like is sitting there, they're at James's apartment that he was living in. With that older guy. Uh huh huh. And they get into it and just James's demeanor and how he was talking to women. Yeah. And the intensity of it. Yeah. Not okay. No. And so that's why I can, I can believe Kristen Doty when she says, you know, her experience or like hints towards her experience with him.

If there's one thing that. Podcasting about Vanderpump Rules in the past year has, uh, led me down or led me to understand it's that there's a lot about James Kennedy that is not okay. Right. And, um, I'm, I'm, I mean that genuinely and I don't, I'm not wrong. Oh. So, um, I just think I'm not gonna, like, stan him or give him any credit.

And Allie, I hope you're okay, girl. I really do. I hope that that house is safe. That's good because I just don't like him at all. And then Raquel just, just told us what was going on with the dog. So like, and as you all know, we stan Raquel in this house. And you all will be seeing, um, an example of that on my Instagram by the time this comes out.

Um, what did you think, just as we wrap up, did you feel, so we didn't get Sandoval. Did you feel like we were missing? The Raquel piece, I know that they, they did bring her up, which I was a little, um, I was intrigued by it. I can't say I was surprised, I knew that she had to be brought up, but they called her by name, and obviously the scene with Lala, like, what did you take from all of that?

I think As, if you're somebody that's never watched Vanderpump Rules, I think production kind of dropped the ball in that kind of recap of allowing people to understand what the fuck just happened because they just jumped into all these dynamics, which we know about it. But to a new viewer, it's kind of like, okay, why aren't we?

Why? What happened here? What's going on? So I think they really dropped. I mean, and I understand why, because we all were talking about it, right? But. In introducing a new type of person to it, you didn't really do a great job because they don't know what the fuck's going on. Right. And who's to say that not everybody's going to want to go back and watch the last four episodes of season 10.

Right. So for me, I really, I don't think that I necessarily, like, cause you said earlier, like, we don't think we would get anything new. Right. But, I thought it would have been a good idea to at least Address it in to familiarize people with the dynamics or maybe even like a fucking chart, you know, like, okay, well, this is what happened.

And then just like kind of fast forward through everything. So that person that's viewing it for the first time, they can kind of be like, oh, okay. So it's not like I necessarily needed it, but I think that there should have been something in there. Again, I feel like the production went towards, like, long, you know, shots and weird editing of flashbacks and things like that.

And that's fine. Like, that looked pretty or whatever, but again, it would have been nice to set the stakes. Yep. To explain the stakes and actually what both of us said when we were talking about what we wanted for the episode. Neither of those things really happened because you specifically said it would be nice to have like a Rewind kind of like the episode That was like halfway through the season where Lala like narrates and tells the story or whatever does the investigation and I said that I wanted to have some fourth wall breaking and there was just like hints of both of those things, but not really like There was a little bit of fourth wall breaking with Lala, which was, this was good.

She was explaining that, um, part of the custody issue was that, uh, they didn't want, Randall doesn't want Ocean to be on Vanderpump Rules, so she names the show. And then there were a couple of other moments where they talk about the show, uh, they talk about Raquel being in the mental health facility, which is technically breaking the fourth wall because, like you said, if you've never watched Vanderpump Rules.

You don't know who the fuck Raquel is, so why the fuck do you care that she's in a goddamn mental facility? You don't. So, um, there was that, but there really wasn't a lot of And we don't need an hour's worth of exposition, but, I, they didn't, they didn't, um, They didn't really set the gravity of how this scandal affected these people.

Right. Like, so If you're watching this, you don't know why me and Alayna, if you haven't, if you don't know anything about Vanderpump Rules, you don't know why me and Alayna just got into a conversation about, like, Dan. Right? Like, y'all are like, the guy that was on FaceTime? Like, what the fuck does that mean?

Well, because Ariana, you know, very shortly after started dating this guy, and he's kind of been in the picture, but she's been all over the city because her fame became immense. But like I said, even at this point of filming, her fame was immense. It was, it's not just because she just got Roxy Hart. Yeah.

She was getting all those commercials, they were filming them in the house, this was happening. Listen, I listened to every podcast. I watched every YouTuber that had anything to do with Vanderpump Rules. I know what the fuck was up and they didn't really show all that. It was life consuming. Yeah. And in that way, I will say, I am a little, I don't want to say let down because I'm not.

Like, I'm still. We still have more episodes to go. Yeah, and I'm interested, um, do you watch the aftershows for Beverly Hills? Okay, so I used to watch them way back, but now I fell off for a while and then I saw you say something about the aftershows and so now I gotta go back and watch them. Yeah, so for Beverly Hills, which is also Or not also, because we don't know, but Beverly Hills is a show that requires a shit ton of context for maximum or some enjoyment.

And the Beverly Hills aftershows are always fantastic. They are way better than the regular episode, in my opinion, every time. So if aftershows for Vanderpump Rules and give the context and give the insight, I'd be interested in that. But then again, it's also like, well, Maybe I did over consume Vanderpump Rules content, but who didn't?

I'm like, who's watching? Yeah. This was something that was so juicy and we everybody was dying to give us information for it So I could see for people like us. I hope you can hear me on this mic. Yeah, I was gonna say, um, I could see People like us that were so consumed in it when everything was going down for this episode to Kind of feel not like you said not like a disappointment, but kind of underwhelming.

Yeah Because I invested my life into this for a good solid seven months and I needed that to deliver this first episode to deliver it But I'm still hopeful. I'm very hopeful that Things are going to I don't think it's gonna be anything crazy because how do you top? What happened season 10? Well, a lot of the, like, the comedy was missing.

The, like, hi Like, remember And again, we're not, like, glorifying this man. This is funny because he is an idiot. Remember when James was They were all at that bar after drinking on the beach, and Katie and Lala brought their dates that wear socks and sneakers on the beach and then they all go to this other bar afterwards and then James thinks he gets like a hundred proof tequila in his eye and then he runs out and trips and falls on his face and then he's screaming for Allie and then Allie is like, it's water.

That? Like you can't top that shit. Where is, where is that like? comedic element? I don't know. I don't know, cause you know, they film a long time. So, I guess the editors, whatever they felt like they wanted to start this season off with, they're like this is a good medium right now. Let's just give them something to Come back to because I know they know what we're looking for.

We want all the drama. We want the messiness, but I don't think they wanted to come that hard so far. But if they didn't want to do that, then they really should have made this like it didn't have to be the whole episode but made an introduction to the person that doesn't know what's going on. I also felt like they they were.

Focusing a lot on Ariana, which was good. And there was a point where I was like, okay, I think that this is like, Ariana's episode, kind of. But, the way that they showed it was really odd. Like, her dancing in that blue dress. But I said, I was like, I remember those videos being taken. And instead it's another slow motion video of her dancing in the blue dress.

And not like, A really good, like, deep dive into, like, what the fandom I was in the trenches with these fucking people. I know what the fandom was like for this woman. It is And instead We've got slow motion and then we've got fuckin black and white cuts to her and Katie thrifting for teacups, which was insane to me.

Nobody cares about the teacups. Nobody cares about, I mean, R. I. P. to their friend, but him liking brisket. Okay, but that, that was just a random part. So his death actually was really, I wish that they would have lingered on that more. I don't know why Sheena brought up Brisket, Sheena's a very odd bird, but that was actually really interesting, not, not interesting, it's horrifying, but Sandoval talked about that on the Vile Files again, like honestly, Sandoval's like performance, if you will, on the Vile Files really was A little bit of that, that whole back story would have been necessary for someone.

Yeah. I think because it wasn't about, God bless you, Sheena. It wasn't about you reaching out to Tom, Sheena. It was about this guy that was pivotal in all of your lives. Like, he was like a best friend and Not to be, I don't want to be gossipy, but this is the truth. It was really sad because When this happened, the friend reached out to Ariana and was, like, refusing to speak to Sandoval.

So that's why it was so heavy. And that's why Sheena, like, and a few other people, Kristen, like, felt the need to reach out. And so, but we, you, you didn't know that? People didn't, you know, not you, not you, but I'm saying, like, the People watching didn't know that if, if you weren't in the, if, if you were in the trenches, right?

This is, the thing is that is so captivating about the Scandaval is that we were all in like people that never get deep in this shit. We're like Monica outside of Genshaw's house, you know, taking TikToks level deep in the shit. Your average, average, everyday Bravo viewer. So why are we not reflec I don't feel like that was fully reflected in this premiere episode.

It wasn't. It wasn't. Like there, like you said, it didn't need to be the whole episode of explaining, but maybe like a solid five minutes of just a quick breakdown of where everybody stands. Who's still friends with who? Why aren't they friends with that person? Who is Raquel? Yeah, yeah. Who is Raquel? Who is Raquel?

Who is Rachel? Who is this girl that they keep talking about? Yeah. Because she's a crucial part of why the dynamic of this group is so shifted. It is. And honestly, I just thought about this. Um, the reason why I feel like I didn't miss Sandoval in this episode like I thought I would is because we just watched that damn podcast.

I was like, oh, I just got a whole handful of him. Yeah, yeah. So that's why for me Seeing him later on, I was like, oh yeah, you weren't in here the whole time. I guess that's something to do with it. Oh my god, Alayna, thank you for coming on, thank you for discussing, did you have any final thoughts, anything you want to leave the people with, I know you're going to be back to talk.

Yeah, of course, um, nothing much, I had some, I had fried cauliflower. Yes, I made goat cheese balls and cauliflower wings because I ripped them from the TomTom menu. I felt like you did. Yeah. But I'm a changed woman and now I'm going to, and now I'm going to be making that. Even, I'm not going to even call them like wings, I'm just fried cauliflower.

It's fried cauliflower. It's fried cauliflower. So, um. Yeah, biggest takeaway from the premiere fried cauliflower pretty dope. Mm hmm. What would you rate it? Could you rate it? the premiere mm hmm Scale one to five. Let's say five. I I Would give it a 3. 5. I was gonna say the same thing. Like I'm not I'm not like Over the top about it, right, but I'm not Extremely overwhelmed about it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It, it, I'll be watching. Oh, I'll be watching. I mean, I would have been watching even if it was a horrible episode. Yeah, yeah. Regardless, it gave me something to like, you know, let me come back to it. It was literally very mid. What about you? Um, same. 3. 5. 3. 5. Maybe, maybe a 3 for me just because I really did feel like.

Some of those, have I talked about the, the slow motion? Have I said anything about that? No, I really think that it was a decent episode. I was definitely intrigued. I watch everything on Peacock most of the time, you know, advanced premium, no ads. So the ads were a little jarring for me, even though I watched Salt Lake City with ads, but it's just not the same.

Like when this, because the episode wasn't fast paced enough. So I kind of wanted to keep getting to the next thing, and so the ads were kind of bumming me out. And, one last thing, and I'm going to stick with you on this, not watching the previews. Those 7 minute previews, I mean, most of this episode, like, almost all of it was in the Scandalval, Life and Lies of Scandalval or whatever, and the other part of it was in the 7 minute preview, so, if I want to enjoy the show, I just can't watch that.

Now, definitely after watching this episode, I'm definitely not going to watch them because I feel like if this is, if this is the pace we're going to go at, I need, I need to just have everything be fresh and new for me. Like, give me something to be surprised about and not be like, well, I'm only going to enjoy 43 minutes of it because I've already watched Yeah, yeah.

Seven. Literally. Oh my god. Okay, Alayna, where can people find you if they want to follow your journey? Follow me. The same spot as always, just my Instagram handle, poshxxgod. Posh God, and if you guys want to listen to any of the other episodes that we have, they are in the feed. Go back, listen to them.

Elena has a great episode about Bravo and Sobriety. We've talked about a lot. We have done a lot in the past couple of years, so tune into that, and if you guys are still into me, tune into me. I will be doing a full recap of this episode with Vanderpod Recaps. We will probably also be covering Definitely the Vile Files.

We will be covering Rachel Goes Rogue. We will probably, Lala's episode comes out tomorrow, doesn't it? And I bet she's gonna listen to that before. Yeah, you know, oh, you know she's been doing um, Monday episodes now too? In addition? Yeah, she just started doing it, uh, last week where she's dropping, and they're not going to be hour long.

They're like 30 minute, just like hot topic Monday episodes. So I'm assuming that she started that, they say it's because people wanted to hear more of her. I think that it, she started that because of the premiere in the way the show's dropping. So she can just kind of. Fill us in. Yes. Or, you know. Yes. A hundred percent.

Get to it before all of her other castmates get to it. Yeah. Who else is gonna have, Kristen? Does Kristen still come out on Wednesday Thursday? Kristen's is like Wednesday Thursdays. Yeah. Um, Katie's, I think Katie's comes out on Mondays. I don't care about the podcast. Sheena's Fridays. The podcast sucks.

Sorry. Um, but yeah. It does. But apparently people wanted more Lala, which, I don't know. No, Lala wanted to maximize her downloads. That's why. And good for her. She's a businesswoman. Get it, girl. Get it, girl. All right, guys. Well, thank you all for listening, and I will talk to you guys later. Bye bye! Um, you know what I was gonna ask you?
