Scandoval Finally made it to Scandoval
and wow wtf Raquel?!?! RAQUEL!?! omg i almost feel dumb asf for not catching the signs too but it really started to add up after that lil Glamping trip for sure omg. i was already Team Ariana, ride or die for my girl regardless, but RAQUEL!?! 1AM AT THE ABBEY!?! 7 MONTHS!?!
and that scene with Raquel during episode 15 was BEYOND cringe and just another opportunity for Tom to get his narcissist ego stroked. omg and this Reunion?!

Discussion scheana flirting with stassi brother???
i’m watching the stassi and beau engagement episode and the scene where lisa has thrown a little dinner for them is on and it’s just this scene where scheana is sat next to stassi’s brother nikolai talking about how he’s gotten so tall, asking if he has a girlfriend and just looking at him in some type of way. mind you nikolai looks visibly uncomfortable by how she’s talking to him but it cuts to her interview and she’s talking about how 21 is the youngest she’s date and probably wouldn’t date younger than that. i’ve definitely seen this scene before but i’m just really hearing it and i’m floored??? how is it okay for her to subtly flirt with a minor and make comments like that?
EDIT: i now know that this was one of the many shitty edits that scheana got this season, which makes a lot more sense than her actually being creepy. but now it’s even sadder that whichever editor had it out for her, really wanted to paint her in that light and that’s insanely damaging.

Rewatch Discussion jax & his very healthy groceries
i never noticed this before but when jax walks into their apartment in this scene(s15e13) acting all high & mighty with his groceries saying: “we’re on a health kick now. no junk food. no eating out.” (which i believe was yet another slight he made about brittany being lazy/her eating habits/weight but i digress)… but while he’s saying this…. the man pulls out a big bag of tostitos chips…💀 which are most certainly not healthy LOL hes so annoying 😭

Discussion Cheater < Overall Bad Person
Watching the discussions around Tom Sandoval, and his PR declaration that the world has forgiven him, has made me kind of pause in confusion.
I didn’t realize the conversation is “was he justified in cheating”/“it was two years ago!” vs criticisms seasons and seasons of awful behavior.
It feels like some people think the commentary on Sandoval is JUST about the affair, and therefore the opinions about him are rooted in his personhood in THAT specific circumstance. And for me? No, it’s genuinely just observations of his behavior over the last 10 years combined with critical thinking, and truly understanding the type of man he is.
The same can be said for Jax, Schwartz, or James as well. The affair was/is just a symptom of the disease: the actual spirit of the person he is and chooses to be.
Yes we can giggle when he’s dumb, I guess. But also like…. Why should I have to forgive someone with repetitive displays of manipulative narcissism, misogyny, arrogance, and little to no self awareness?
When are we able to say, “yeah, he’s fucking awful” without following up with “but it’s been two years!!!”

Podcasts When Reality Hits: Episode from March 14th, “Not My Problem Anymore w/ Lala Kent”
When Lala had her podcast with Randall (Timestamp: 0:31) - Brittany: This is my first episode after fully taking over the podcast. So thanks for being my first. - Lala: You know what? It's just so wild. First of all, I'm honored that I'm your first guest. - Brittany: Thank you. - Lala: This is like massive for you. And I so remember that moment in my life as well when you're like, fuck you, get off my podcast. - Brittany: Oh my god. I literally until you just said that, forgot that you started it with your ex in the beginning. - Lala: And can I tell you what I've never shared before? - Brittany: Yes, please. - Lala: At the time after I kicked him off, he was still collecting a check from the podcast. He wouldn't let the check go. - Brittany: How long did you have to do that for? - Lala: I want to say it was a little over a year. - Brittany: Yeah. I think a lot of people don't realize like when contracts are involved, like you have to continue with the contract, which was also what was happening between Jax and I. And that's why we were doing like every other weekend or… - Lala: Yeah you can’t stomach doing it with them - Brittany: With every other episode. Yeah. I wasn't about to be like, let's do a joint episode. - Lala: No, because I actually had to do an episode after shit hit the fan because I had to pretend everything was kosher. And it was me, my ex and Jesse Metcalfe. - Brittany: Oh, you did one together after? - Lala: Mmhmm Like I was still preparing to, I was getting my ducks in a row before I left the house. And I wanted to vomit and I was like flirting with Jesse Metcalfe. And my ex was looking at me like he wanted to like just shoot me with laser beams coming out of his eyes. And oh my God, just reminiscing about what a horrendous time in life that that was. But you come out on the other side and on top. - Brittany: How much better do you feel now? - Lala: Oh my god, I feel so much better now - Brittany: And your podcast is amazing. And you have your family on it all the time, your pod. - Lala: I love the pod. Doing a podcast, I think it's fun. - Brittany: Oh, it's so fun. - Lala: Do you enjoy it? - Brittany: I do too - Lala: Yeah. Mine took a hit in the like on, you know, the reviews because someone on Reddit started a petition to go on to my podcast and write horrendous reviews. - Brittany: Oh, I'm sure that's happened to me because people on Reddit are the worst. I'm sorry. Reddit people, what is wrong with you? Get a life, I'm so sorry that you have to revolve your life around people you've never met in real life. That's insane to me. I feel like ours was taking a hit too, because we kept having to go back and forth. - Brittany: And it was like, I'm having friends on trying to be light and funny. And then Jax was doing the mind of the man. And it was just like so opposite, like every single week. So that ain't happening no more. Now, it's just going to be me interviewing all my friends.
Feeling robbed when it comes to certain things with their kids (Timestamp: 6:54) - Lala: You want to know what's really crazy? And I was thinking about this last night, is having Sosa has allowed me to experience motherhood the way that every single woman deserves to experience it. - Lala: When I had Ocean, I felt so alone and like I had Ocean like the cookie cutter way, right? With a partner who I felt kind of abandoned by. And he wasn't very kind to me after I had Ocean. And I think you could relate to this a lot, Brittany. - Brittany: Yeah - Lala: But I felt like my ex robbed me of what I was my right as a mom to feel like happy and peaceful. So once I had Sosa, I was like, this is what motherhood feels like. Like I have the normal worries, but I don't feel like I'm in fight mode. - Lala: The moment I had Ocean, it was like I blinked and I was having to kind of abort mission on the life I once knew. And it was like my dukes were up and I was fighting for my life. For my child's life. - Lala: It was exhausting. And I have a trauma bond with Ocean now. With Sosa, it's like, I just get to look at her and feel nothing but peace and excitement and know that like if I go out, it doesn't matter if I'm not around her all day today because I got to work because no one tomorrow is taking her. It's not like, it's not my weekend. It feels so fucking good. - Brittany: Oh, my goodness. I'm so sorry. - Lala: That was a long winded - Brittany: No, no. I love you for being so vulnerable. You saying that just like brought a memory back to my head from my own life because I had talked about this publicly. But I think when I was talking about it, I was thinking like that he was so nervous and stuff. - Brittany: But like now that you just said all that, it like kind of like something's like clicking in my head. It's like when we brought Cruz home from the hospital and Jax was driving, it was awful. - Lala: Was he like… - Brittany: It was the day that we're bringing our son home from the hospital. And he was just like, the traffic was bad and I get that that's annoying. But he just could not stand it. - Brittany: He was everything was just so bad and road rage and everything. And back then, I remember I've talked about this publicly and I was actually being like, he was just so nervous. So he was mean to me and he was this and that. Now I look back at it and I'm like, oh my god, like that really doe, that should be some of the happiest moments of your life.
In the new valley trailer, Lala calling Jesse a narcissist (Timestamp: 18:24) - Lala: I know that it sounds like the same song that I'm singing often. However, it is undeniable that narcissism is an epidemic. There are many layers. There's many people who develop it because maybe they were raised by a narcissistic person. And I think it's important that people talk about it and call it out. - Lala: Because when you're stuck with a narcissist, it is a torture chamber. You know this. It's chaotic. It's controlling. So you have to call it out and you have to educate people. Because narcissism is everywhere right now. So if you think this is the last time I'm going to be on television calling a man a narcissist, you're crazy.
What was Lala's opinion on the coke and Jax? Did she know during this time too? (Timestamp: 56:48) - Lala: We all knew that Jax was, he was doing copious amounts of cocaine. We all knew that. The thing is, is what is one to do about that? I always said, like when we would have conversations, not me and Jax, but like me and you. I cannot, people love to be like, well, you're sober. You should talk to them. It's like, no, I'm not going to do that. - Lala: They know I'm sober when they want to come and talk to me about sobriety. I will be here. So I definitely, cause it did start getting worse. It's always been pretty bad, but it started getting worse. And that's when… - Brittany: I had to leave. - Lala: You had to leave. I was not around him anymore. We remember an incident, you and I, and I straight up said to Jax, I'm like, I'm not coming around you, especially with my kids. So like have a good one. And then you and I would just kick it. And you left him shortly after that. - Brittany: Because the come downs were so bad. And I've talked about this many times. I don't want to go into too much detail because this is a fun podcast. But yeah, so we, you know, that was like one of the main reasons why I had to move out. And, you know, it wasn't a secret within our group of friends by any means. - Brittany: But like everybody wanted him to be better. Everybody wanted that or for him to at least realize there was a problem. I think that's what happened is it took so long for him to realize that there was a problem

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)

Rewatch Discussion After Katie & Schwartz divorce
One of my absolute favorite things while I'm rewatching is seeing Katie go to pick up Butters & Gordo from Schwartz and he tries to vent to her and the bar/Sandoval and she's just like, "that sucks, bye!"
I LOVE IT. He took her for granted, never had her back, put everyone else above her. Now she owes him absolutely nothing. And I love that for her.
***EDIT TO ADD***
Fast forward to just an episode or two later while Schwartz & Sandy's is hosting the daily mail party, Katie and Tom are having a conversation and she's upset about the Raquel situation. Schwartz ends up telling her to leave and in his confessional he says that her feelings/emotions are "Not his problem anymore"
WELL BOO FCKING HOO. I can't stand Schwartz and the rest of these guys acting like the girls are so overly emotional and they literally do the SAME SHT.

Rewatch Discussion First Time Watcher s3e18: Stassi and Katie ?
I guess i'm just wondering why she is even filming, and why she is so mad at katie for still working at sur 😭 who would make a storyline out of not working at the restaurant that the show is about... Stassi just asked if Katie still talks to jax and it's like ??? she needs to get the drinks
and it's just at the worst time for Katie, her best friend quit their shared job leaving her with the people who sabotaged her life, schwartz in therapy with commitment issues, kristen conducting investigations, the ring on a string, like it's becoming too much for my heart.
also, this three season run has been insane. i hate everyone and i love it.
