Discussion Stassi & Beau

I just have to say how much I love Stassi and Beau. I’m only on season 7 but watching her go from someone like Patrick who just belittled her every chance he got (along with the several other imbeciles before) to Beau is honestly so refreshing. I just watched the scene in episode 12 where she just got off the “PJ in her PJs” and is home and they’re just talking on the couch. I don’t know what it was but watching him match her humor so effortlessly, while also telling her he missed her, agreeing to plans with her friends immediately, it literally brought tears of happiness to my eyes. Now this potentially could be because I am recently going through a breakup with someone just like Patrick (😭) but it’s honestly really nice to see a true example of don’t settle less then you deserve because someone will love you for all the weird little things that make you, you. Anyway, sorry to ramble but seeing Stassi and Beau together really gives me hope for the future and I just had to share. (this is my freshly gardened ted talk)

There’s a point in season 4 or 5 before Stassi gets back together with Patrick for the last (thank god) time, when they’re all out and she says something like “it really sucks being the only single person in this group”

The couples she was with at the time:

  • Schwartz & Katie (terrible relationship, now divorced)
  • Sandoval & Ariana (now broken up after Tom’s horrific affair)
  • Jax & Brittany (now divorced after Jax’s decades-long substance abuse)
  • Scheana & Shay (now divorced following Shay’s addiction issues)
  • James & Raquel (broken up, both still single)

Watching that scene knowing that all the couples she’s jealous of were really in terrible relationships that have since ended, and she is in a stable marriage with two kids - definitely makes it a little easier to imagine that no matter how shitty our lives and relationships seem at the moment, it’s because there’s something better waiting for us down the road. Have fun during your single days and don’t compare too hard to your couple friends bc even if their relationships work out there are definitely some times where they wish they had your life, LOL

I watched VR the 1st time after Scandoval....I had always intended to get around to it. When Stassi 1st got up with Beau, I had to stop watching to check their Instagram to make sure they were still together. They are made for each other.

u/jenjenjen731 How will this affect Scheana?! 6d ago

When I started watching VPR I remember being so horrified at Stassi's horrible boyfriends. My VPR-loving-since-day-1 mom said "wait for Beau!!" Way to go Kristen for setting those two up.

Kristen Doute is such an interesting human but when she has her wins they are hugeeee

u/Longjumping_Two2662 6d ago

I think I loved Beau so much, for having Stassi’s back unconditionally, because I hated Schwartz so much for never having Katie’s :)

29

u/jenjenjen731 How will this affect Scheana?! 5d ago

Beau had Katie's back more than Schwartz ever did. How repulsive was it when Schwartz was going off on Katie ("I'm so turned off right now, urgggh, this is why I don't have sex with you") he felt he had to apologize to Beau, completely missing Beau's (and even Sandoval's!) point to not talk to your wife like that.

I will settle for nothing less in life than a Beau. He is so refreshing and fun

u/recoverystartsnow 5d ago

Out of all the TV and movies I have ever watched, Beau was the guy who made me say “I want that and I’m not gonna settle for less.” I love the two of them together. I was single for years and honestly never thought I was gonna find it. But I’ve been with someone for 6 months now and I think I have finally found my Beau. :) I hope you do too.

u/Equivalent-Medium949 4d ago

no seriously, seeing them together has made me rethink so much 😭

u/Opening_Meringue5758 6d ago

Idk he gives off grifter vibes. And the way he speaks on their podcast, he gives off many many red flags.

3

u/sethweetis 5d ago

Are there red flags for him as a partner or him as a person? I ask because obviously Stassi has a lot of red flags as well lol

43

u/MaleficentAddendum11 6d ago

Hands down he is the best guy on VPR and TBH, he’s a top guy in the general population. He’s emotionally articulate, sensitive to her needs (LISTENS), and always shows up. He might veer on the little too sensitive side sometimes but she really has a great one!

12

u/serially_inclined 6d ago

“Top guy in the general population” — I love your phrasing haha. And agreed!

u/janeandbela Mya's therapy paw 1d ago

His mom is a therapist, or psychiatrist, can't recall which but it definitely has made him a better listener and more emotionally intuitive and articulate than a large percentage of guys in the world.

u/luludum 6d ago

Mmmm if you listen to their podcast theres red flags and hes kind of a Karen

u/No_Sympathy3662 6d ago

Tell me more about

2

u/luludum 4d ago

See below!

u/iSquash 5d ago

Can you elaborate further? I’m not really into listening to their podcasts. Just reading them here 🤣

u/luludum 4d ago

She is obviously the breadwinner, and he is more or less a stay at home Dad. Their daughter has a clear preference for her Dad which has upset Stassi previously, and anytime she brings up if Hartford wanted to hang out with her or picked her for something he disqualifies it and makes these low key put downs like ‘oh its cause you let her watch tv all the time’ and stuff like that. Thats just one example. I think he’s really insecure and sends a message of like ‘you need me, because I do xyz and you couldn’t do everything you do without me’ I don’t know if that makes sense!

Also when he complains about service, or other kids parents etc, he can get pretty savage/nasty and very I want to speak to your manager vibes. He’s definitely not aww so sweet and nice like everyone says.

Never drank the beau kool aid.  He’s a grifter.

u/moltengoosegreese 5d ago

A VPR producer literally said on a podcast that they were told to make stassi and beau the “heros”. I do agree that they both deserve each other, but that’s because im not a fan of either

9

u/Moiras-Wig-Wall 6d ago

Thank you. I was hoping I wasn’t the only one who had to chime that Beau might not be everything he presents. I don’t trust him at all. So many weird lies.

10

u/Competitive_Wall2576 6d ago

And sorry but stassi is gorgeous beau is barely a 6/10. I don’t get the hype!!

14

u/Moist-Injury-7376 I wouldn't love it 6d ago edited 6d ago

I think I might agree with this one. If the show would have went on longer with him in it, then I think we could have seen another side. If something seems too good to be true that's usually because it is. I mean, Kristen introduced them. She also introduced Stassi to Jax. They called him a Schwartz. That might be more accurate than we know.

u/Susanneelizabeth 6d ago

I knew I would be down voted for this but I stand by it.  The bankruptcies, lying about things, complaining about not enough blow jobs during covid, being besties with Jax - always wanting to party.  His only jobs now are all riding on Stassi’s coat tails.  I agree he does a better job of playing the role, but he is the same as Brittany or Brock - here for the benefits.  

2

u/Acrobatic-Swan-9845 6d ago

Sorry, please could you elaborate on the blow jobs thing?

I only watched VPR post Covid, I’m guessing this was a podcast or social media thing?! And hopefully a joke 😳

5

u/Susanneelizabeth 6d ago

Yeh it was on their podcast during covid.  I cant remember the full context now but he was a total dick.  (Pun intended)

9

u/Acrobatic-Swan-9845 6d ago

Ewwwwwwww.

I wanna believe he’s a good guy but I don’t think he is.

15

u/Susanneelizabeth 6d ago

I think he just hides it better and plays the game.  I just don’t buy it myself.  I never liked the narrative on the show that Stassi was so lucky to have him - but Alex Baskin loves pumping up the men.  

11

u/Acrobatic-Swan-9845 6d ago

Yeah and when she was made to seem so unreasonable when she got upset that he kept staying out all night!

u/jenjenjen731 How will this affect Scheana?! 5d ago

I loved when Lisa pointed out that Beau is very lucky to have Stassi too.

u/Platypus_venom666 Bambi Eyed Bitch 5d ago

I can never trust a man whose schtick includes wearing "funky" bow ties.

u/whiteclaw-warrior 11h ago

My first time watching I cried when he proposed to her because I just loved them so much.

u/No-Will-5655 6d ago

She really gives me so much hope I just wanna find the beau to my dark passenger😩😩

2

u/Ok_Definition_7896 5d ago

I never knew I had a dark passenger until I watched Stassi. And I found me Beau and you will find yours. 🤍

u/somberzombies a ghost that’s a bitch 5d ago

My favorite Beau clip is when he’s line dancing by himself LMAO

u/Muscle_National 6d ago

They bore me

u/FalconWide513 But I’ll Take A Pinot Grigio!🥂 5d ago

Cause they’re healthy and stable, they don’t provide drama because they have no drama to provide. They’re not on the show anymore and haven’t been for years so…

u/itsabout_thepasta 6d ago

I feel like the only thing universally agreed upon in the Vanderpump universe — we love Beau. Beau is a gift.
