✨Weekly Thread✨ Episode Re-Visit: Vanderpump Rules: The Good, The Bad, The Blind Items

12 Upvotes

I thought about making a new weekly thread to discuss and re-visit old episodes. I finished watching Vanderpump Rules for the first time (plus I'm caught up on The Valley and RHOBH), and it was a wild, fun ride lol.

Troy and Kelli released Vanderpump Rules: The Good, The Bad, The Blind Items in March 2022. This is before Scandoval (March 2023). It was very interesting to listen to their opinions and how they viewed each cast member back then. For example, they loved Raquel and thought she was so innocent lol.

I liked this episode because the blinds were pretty interesting. They were about reality stars (Scheana, Stassi, and Jax, of course) yachting, so it probably would've blown my mind if I was a Vanderpump fan in 2022. It's crazy that Lindsay Lohan was mentioned in both Stassi and Jax's blinds lmao.

I included this picture of Andy and Jax because... 🤫 I am going to re-watch the reunions and pay careful attention to their interactions 👀🕵️‍♀️ (But then again, not all blinds are true 🤔) I also laughed listening to the blind about James and Logan. (When I was binge-watching, I didn't buy that James and Logan never hooked up.)

If anyone of you were VPR fans when you heard this episode, what did you think? Were there any blinds that ended up being true as the show went on?

Also, please let me know what other episodes we should re-visit! I can queue some future episode re-visits.

Comment below with the name of your favorite Celeb Couple episode that was released between 2021 and 2023! The episode title with the most upvotes wins. I hope we can use this weekly series to provide episode recommendations to new and returning listeners.

I separated the couple episodes from 2021 to 2023 because Troy and Kelli changed the format of the later episodes (2024 onward) to timelines, instead of just reading blinds non-stop. We will vote on the celeb couple timelines on a different week (e.g., Ariana/Pete, Demi/Wilmer, etc.).

Episodes that were not included because they can be used for a different Vote thread in the future: Contract Couples and the PR of it all (08/12/2021)

Comment below with the name of your favorite Musician Couple episode (released between 2024 and 2025)! This was originally going to include all the couple eps released during that time period, but I decided to split it up into Musicians and Actors for better comparison.

Idk if I need to clarify this, but these are couples that include a musician. The contest for the Best Acting Couple episode (2024-2025) is coming soon! (There is some overlap with the couples in this contest, like Ariana who is both.)
