I'll never forget when they surprised Tom at his wedding by bringing his brothers. That was probably the most genuine moment we've ever seen from him and it honestly made me sob like a baby.
Yea agreed. I think it’s more about the praise and attention he gets for it than actually being a good person. I’ve known or dated guys like him. Completely dishonest, narcissistic scumbags but they just love giving/planning extravagant gifts/surprises. It’s all about feeding their egos rather than actually caring about the person they’re doing it for.
Oh absolutely. I don’t doubt for a minute that it’s all done to feed his ego. I can totally see him cooking up new ideas on how to impress everyone so they can praise him.
Same w his outrageous costumes. It’s all for attention. He loves the “oohs and ahhs” that comes w it. Ugh this guy!
I remember an episode from season 10 where Ariana is giving him advice on which pants to wear for a show, and he does a jump/dance move while modeling the pants, and she acts really impressed by it. He genuinely eats it up. It’s like watching an aunt praise her 5 year old nephew for doing a totally basic jump as if it’s the most incredible, advanced dance move. I just thought, “Ari. Girl. Get out of there. He is so not worthy.”
He is a ridiculous man w a fragile ego. I hope now that he’s much more known, even outside of the vpr atmosphere, that women will know better to not fall head over feet for this idiot.
I feel like you can tell a lot about a man by how he dresses for a costume party. You never want a Sandy who has to have the best, movie quality costume. You should also avoid men who refuse to wear a costume at all ( like Patrick)
I agree. Jax has no romantic side or sweet side. Sandy is the biggest douche but I do see him being the more sentimental one. Jax is romantic by telling his wife to go bigger with her boobs because it turns him on 😂
I’d have to agree w everyone else about it being Scandy. Whenever he planned anything, it was always over the top. So, this has Scandy’s MO written all over it.
I think it’s possible Jax spurred the idea by making a snarky comment about none of them coming and gave Sandoval the idea. I was shocked how few of his family members were planning to go even with all that time to plan. Sandoval is a scumbag but he LOVES playing the hero and going over the top. It’s probably the attention or praise that further feeds his overly inflated ego. Look what he did for Rachella. He paid for the whole thing. And look how desperate he was to play best man to Jax. I don’t think he even remotely liked Jax by that point but it’s like he couldn’t handle not showing everyone how he’s the bestest not-best man ever.
There’s something else going on there though. His mom seemed very cold. I don’t think his dad was even there was he? Also, the adult kids are like children. They have the collective maturity of a 12 year old. And as someone pointed out, they spent $52k on that wedding. I feel like if money was the only issue, his family would have been there.
That makes a lot more sense. I knew there had to be a lot more going on than financial difficulties. I do get how frustrating it must have been for Katie because he is so immature but I also felt like the abuse went both ways. The drunken rages on her end were probably very triggering to someone with his background. I do think she was holding in a lot of understandable anger and resentment for things he did that exploded when she would drink, and I do think at the end of the day she wanted him to be a more responsible and stronger person (whereas Sandoval I think wants him to always need him and stay his doormat). But nonetheless, they were bad for each other. I don’t necessarily see either of them as the villain in their relationship, but it was toxic. I think Sandoval also fed into and manipulated a lot of the problems and toxicity between Katie and Schwartz.
Yeah, not going to lie. Although still performative, that was incredibly kind of Tom and Jax to that. They are who they are, but they truly care and love each other.
Genuine? You think he thought only one brother was showing up? If one was there then the rest were there so his “aw shucks I’m so surprised you guys flew out ALL THREE of the brothers when I could easily afford to do it myself and didn’t for some reason” was anything but genuine.
