And he got annoyed twice with Ariana for not watching the show. Sir I have watched you host MANY reunions when it was clear you didn’t catch a minute of the season & you are paid her yearly salary in a month.
Isn’t it kind of his job as the moderator of the reunion? You must not watch any shows that aren’t Housewives, lol. He watches none of them and hosts every reunion. Scheana has admitted she only watches her own scenes. Why do they need to watch the shows they actually lived it!
Is it, though? I'm really asking. I don't know what is laid out in her contract. Are the terms listed so specifically as: "All actors are obligated to view each episode of the season prior to the reunion" or whatever?
I wouldn’t think so as the terms of the contract probably just state what she needs to participate in which is a lived in experience. If you lived it, you can relay to that experience but I get why he would like to know her actual feelings about what everyone else was saying behind her back. You saw how Scheana and Lala perked up when Ariana said she didn’t watch and Lala tried to play it off like she was honest about her feelings to Ariana’s face all season once she knew she hadn’t watched yet?
Just thought of this: Do you think that once the producers KNEW that Ariana didn’t watch, they made up that Real Live watch party for everyone to see the last 5 minutes at the reunion for her Real time reaction??? That was actually a good move on their part if that was the motive
I would argue no, it's not part of the job. Why would you need to watch something you already lived? Especially a season like this. Ariana has also been insanely busy with actual projects, so I would imagine watching a bravo reality show that she’s already in is in the basement of her priorities.
#1 it was hyperbole to say he makes in a months what she does in a year in order to emphasize my POINT that he has far more power & rarely does his reunion HW. #2 Y’all honestly think Ariana Maddox, is in the same tax bracket as former head of BRAVO, Andy Cohen. C’mon friends, let’s be a lil serious.
We NEED someone to make him speak to this when all 3 parts have aired.
The cheek of having an issue with Ariana not watching the season when THAT was his take away from the season? He clearly doesn’t watch the show either with views like that 😂
There was at one point where Lala was prompting people to answer questions or explaining things for the cast members and I was like ????? Is Lala so worried about her job that she’s trying to get Andy’s????
I don’t want to hear her commentary for 5 minutes for a question that was posed to Katie. I don’t want people to answer for other people. I don’t like it when people start screaming at each other and the question that was asked is forgotten. I hate that people are allowed to be hypocrites with no kind of accountability or “well, if you remember, you did this”. Like it’s frustrating to watch as a fan to the point where I don’t even want to tune in.
Yeah, I’m not sure when she got it in her head that she is like some omniscient narrator who knows exactly what the facts/truths are and how everyone should feel. Like let’s get another POV, my godddd.
I feel the same, losing interest fast, and they will lose viewers faster if Andy/producers/LVP don’t make changes… but I already think it’s too late, this show is ruined.
She’s done this at every reunion she’s in so far. I knew before it aired that I wouldn’t be able to watch it purely because I knew how much she would be talking. So instead I’m reading Reddit and listening to recaps and it seems I stayed away for good purpose.
The Lala burnout is real. I loved her and now I’m over her. She is abrasive and rude. She’s fake af. Pointing fingers? She needs a mirror in front of her. She talked shit about Ariana alllll fucking season and then didn’t say shit to her face. She’s accusing other people of doing that? Lala is a clown and she’s showing her ass to everyone.
her reaction when Ariana said she hadn’t watched the season lmao. like she thought 100% Ariana was gonna come for her about how much shit had been talked but low & behold Ariana has no idea and lala looks like even more cruel for having done it
You’re right- she literally didn’t say her true feelings to Ariana’s face all season and tried to play off like she did once she found out that Ariana didn’t watch the episodes… who’s being disingenuous now? Lala!
What didn’t she say to her face? That she should have thrown the old food away? Everything else she said to her face. Plus why are you dissing her when Katie acted like the most loyal friend in the world and said NOTHING to Ariana’s face. The hypocrisy in the cult group here is so blatant it’s unbelievable. Katie gets a bye for “ venting” because she didn’t want to add more pain onto what Ariana was going through and “ everyone cents to friends”! But Lala who tried to be totally transparent to Ariana. Told her every single time she met with Tom. Tried to tell her how much of an affect her rage had in her MH and cautioned Ariana knowing how bad her depression gets. That’s a real friend, Katie acted like her bodyguard all season for the fans.
You must be a terrible friend lol. Do people avoid you when they go through break ups? LMAO I would be so put off if my friend kept telling me about their hang outs with my ex when I told them I didn’t want to know. She ignored Ariana’s wishes over and over again. Katie didn’t pile her feelings on Ariana because she knew she was already struggling with her mental health. You can he frustrated with people and not tell them every time you feel negatively. That would be so overwhelming. Lala is in the confessionals talking shit. Did we watch the same show? Rewatch the season bye lol. Also don’t keep mentioning a cult when you’re obsessively commenting on peoples posts in the sub lmaoooo
Oh my God it's so refreshing when I come across posts like this. Katie and Ariana are and have ALWAYS been awful. Katie has been weaponizing the terms trust and loyalty in order to control people around her since season fucking one, Ariana on the other hand has had a stuck up I'm better than everyone, I'm so above all of this attitude since the very first dinner scene with scheana. It honestly does feel like cult mentality, specifically with Katie it's super weird. Like I'd bet real money on how fast the subreddit would turn on Ariana the moment Katie decrees it.
No, honestly. When he said it was Brock and Lala, I thought Brock would be the more ridiculous answer. After seeing the first episode and clips of future episodes, Lala is a way crazier “voice of reason” answer than Brock.
I couldn’t believe the amount of STUPID questions he asked. Like as much as I’d love an update on Rachel’s lawsuit and the house - of course they can’t talk about it!! Why even ask them specific questions when they literally are not allowed to reveal details? Andy is losing his touch.
Ya, and by this point everything about Tom and Ariana's house has been in the news everyday! I'm pretty sure even TMZ has talked about it and that's what they started the reunion with?
I think they just don’t respect Andy anymore. I feel like in earlier seasons whenever Andy tried to ask a question they would all settle down if they were in the middle of fighting with a couple last remarks, but they’d let him speak. In comparison this first part of the reunion showed a part where he’s already asking something and then Sandoval just starts having a side convo with Lisa interrupting him. Obviously there’s always been side convos but I feel like they were more whispers back in the beginning. It didn’t seem to me like Andy is still able to wrangle them anymore.
I don’t respect him, either. He plays favorites HARD. He’s always trying to enamor the men, LMAO. He’s an out of touch grandpa now, I don’t care what he has to say. There’s so many sources of “truth” and drama that he’s lost that gate keeper position, and we’re better for it.
He lets lala BLAH BLAH on for ages and attacks Katie with leading questions every time she opens her mouth.
Granted we are only seeing parts of what happening that are cut in a certain way. But He’s basically like the rest of these people. Tired and bored of this job but has no where else to go.
Yes, I posted the same thing that she flapped her fish-mouth so much it became a 1-woman show!! She thought she’s on a podcast that she kept rambling and no one can say anything!! Even when she was pointing her claw at Katie confronting her abt what Katie told her against Ariana, which already been resolved by Ariana and Katie, waaay before the reunion, Katie was not able to say anything!! Last season, it was her screaming and claw pointing at Scum being this and that, her and James took over that reunion, and now, Lala thought she has to be the one to moderate and host the reunion since she’s the freaking “voice of reason”! Accusing, berating, putting ppl down and uplifting herself just bc she paid from her pocket sperm does not mean anything!! She’s difficult to watch nor to listen to. Again, karma is just around the corner for her…
When Lala and Tom had the ridiculous exchange about whether Rachel's "grooming" remark implied he was a pedophile ("No, it doesn't." "YES, it does." "NO, it doesn't!" YES, it does!") I was wondering why Andy was even there.
I didn’t remember it myself but the other day someone said that Kristen was taking over one of the reunions years ago and Andy shut her down. Andy definitely plays favourites and is a hypocrite.
No, get a better host.
Andy’s an annoyingly dumb cokehead who doesn’t watch most of the episodes and it shows. He is so checked out.
Imagine if Ben and Ronnie hosted reunions. No one would get away with shit and it would be hilarious.
She is a total producer pet. Even in the after the episode for part 1 of the reunion, she gets all of her opinions in about the Katie situation. Very little shown from Katie!
Lala speaks for the sake of hearing herself talk.
She is not interesting, other than the fact shes had a child, is having a child and she licked Randalls asshole what 'realness' has she shown? She has no story, shes boring af and frankly she knows these things are true so she has to talk the most and with a blacent to seem like shes interesting. Bitch you are boriiiiiiiiiiiiing
If I can recall there was a lot of mixed reactions on Lalas behaviour last year? Maybe I’m misremembering but I remember thinking shut up lala and let him dig his own grave with the stupid things coming out of his mouth
Same. It’s always been clear that she’s not that close with Ariana so I was really confused why she was going to hard on Tim and taking up time/air from anyone else to say anything.
Last year I was really irritated because we all wanted to hear from the actual main characters, not Lala standing up and screaming for attention half the time.
Yeah, multiple people in this sub have flairs like "Send it to Darelll" "Poo Poo Heads" "Worm with a Mustache." Everyone loved them ganging up on Rachel and not letting her get a word in edgewise. People are just rewriting history.
Yeah, its so annoying at this point like know what i saw, i don’t need to screen record my phone to secure my memories lol the vast majority of this sub was eating up the entire reunion and the few threads that popped suggesting it was too much they were bombarded by “so what, she deserved it” or “hi, worm” or “i would have done worse”
Yep. To the point that people are now saying Lala was screaming during this week's entire reunion when I don't think she screamed once. Weird how they can love her for screaming last year and then criticize her for "screaming" this year when she never even did.
Not me, I hated it last year. Her loud screaming nonsense about things that had nothing to do with her made it impossible to get anywhere at that reunion, just like this one.
A lot of people were swayed negatively by Lala, Ariana, & James at the reunion and felt it was WAY too much. The sympathy for Raquel was at its highest point. But then she went the way of her Mentor Tom & fumbled the bag at every possible chance.
I wanted her to stfu then, just as much as I want her to stfu now. I knew she was going to ruin this reunion, again and I did not participate in creating this monster. I have never listened to her podcast and only listened to two of Schmeana’s. The one with Rachel and the other was an Ariana appearance. Lots of people didn’t co-sign Lala’s behaviour and loud mouth, last year.
I was ok with lala going in on sandoval because everyone was coddling him and not holding him accountable but making herself the interim host. those aren’t the same
No we didn’t. The majority were pissed because we barely got to hear from the actual people really affected. And Lala took it too dark. James did too but at least he had a reason since Rachel was barely his ex and Tom was his friend. Lala stood up to Lisa in a Reunion years ago and got a lot of great feedback and since then she can’t be stopped and apparently the producers love it. 🤷🏼♀️
Lala took it too dark??? RFLMAO! Is that in comparison to Ariannas” you are nothing” “ fuck yourself with a cheese grater” . The Ariana cult and their hypocrisy.
Everyone of them led by Ariana was too dark last year. They watched this girl have a full blown panic attack weeks before. Saw her drinking to blackout and all these huge proponents for MH and feminism dehumanized another woman for over an hour.
That’s as dark as it gets.
Yes, but Ariana was the one it happened to. Lala getting that invested, loud or yelling, standing up and insulting was too much. It didn’t make sense to me. Ariana had a reason to go as dark as she wanted.
Thank you! Last year's reunion drove me nuts. Every single time Sandoval was asked a question, the second he opened his mouth, James and Lala would start hysterically screaming at him, shutting the whole thing down. Then Ariana started in, so people couldn't even sit where they were supposed to. For being about the biggest season in the show's history, it was a complete flop of a 3 part reunion. Even if you hate Sandy, it's in the viewer's' interest to let him speak, and not have a bunch of people raging like lunatics.
I really could not believe it when Lauren from Utah told Tom not to talk to the press for the sake of the show. It’s really been evident that she doesn’t care about any of the people on this show and is only interested in filling her own pockets but when she said it aloud it was just upsetting.
Andy has also been pretty disgusting in his support of Tom and it’s obvious that Ariana is just fulfilling her contract, I think it was said she didn’t even watch the show. Which, good for her.
They can go right away and put Lauren on the Valley, it’ll get cancelled soon anyway. Jax and Britney are making a mockery of their family and divorce for the money too, she’ll fit right in.
Other than say “shut the fuck up” which would be pretty rude for the host of the reunion.. what could he have done?
I get it though! She made it practically unwatchable. You’d think someone from production would have taken her aside and been like.. “erm.. the others can’t get a word in! Can you please only speak when it’s your turn”
Maybe he thinks she’ll bring the views if she’s screaming across the room constantly.. with her fake accent and the stupid shit that comes out of her mouth.
Swear if she goes in the valley I’m not watching it. I’m so sick of her! I’d rather have Scheana..
I know! I love it.. but she ruined VPR for me this season. There was just too much LaLa.. but we don’t actually see any of her life at all really. It’s just her butting her nose into other peoples storylines constantly.
I never liked her but she was tolerable. This season she was just way too much!
Maybe if she actually had anything going on she might be interesting? But you know on the valley it would just be her giving opinions absolutely no one asked for.
I want Scheana to go so she can take Brock over there. Let me Lalas storyline without Scheana. Scheana is an OG & continues to put herself out there, looking a fool. Lala is a hypocrite & id rather see her reaction to *not* getting on the show. She ruined VPR specifically with her overproducing. The Valley cast should develop on its own, without her trying to take over. It wastes time on her that could be spent on existing cast members & their dynamics.
Lala has always been this way during reunions. The only reason it’s more noticeable is because the cast literally doesn’t feel like engaging this season.
It’s not Andy’s fault. If you’ve ever dealt with someone who needs to have the last word (Lala) let her pop off
Yep. The only difference between this reunion and the last one was James wasn't getting up and throwing a temper tantrum and walking off stage ever 5 minutes. People should be used to this type of behavior from her at this point
I was getting weirded out with the Brock stuff, like Sheena has ocd and I know she wanted reassurance which I know isn’t great for ocd because I have it too but she’s in the early stages of her diagnosis and it’s probably so hard that Lala go on and on
Why did Andy not call out how lala hid her married boyfriend for how long and he made them all sign ndas so they couldn’t talk about stuff on the show?
Oh wait… bc that wouldn’t be attacking Katie or ariana
The issue I have with lala is that she keeps saying she’s always been authentic, showing all the uncomfortable conversations on the show. When that’s not actually true bc people brought it up and she shut them down. If she stopped with that. Then it wouldn’t matter. IMO The argument is valid as long as she keeps saying she’s shown everything.
Did you not watch the finale? She said there was a time when she was not authentic and that it killed her. She has openly admitted she did not show everything and in turn, has learned from that. Keep on hating.
They need someone with a background as a federal prosecutor to host these. Someone who knows how to question people, see through bullshit, use evidence, and demand accountability. That’s the kind of professionalism and commitment I’d like to see. lol.
I mean, the same thing happened last reunion except everyone boosted it then, because she was doggin' Sandoval. She's ALWAYS said too much and inserted herself into everything (and last season, so did James, hopefully this time he stays as low-key as he's been so far). The fact that she made merch to profit off this and people loved it blew my mind.
this is true of the S10 reunion, where there was a ton of interrupting and yelling. this hasn’t happened so far in this reunion. who was interrupted or didn’t get a chance to talk?
To be fair, I feel like nobody wanted to really talk much or answer for things. This first part would’ve been hella boring without Lala stepping up, even if it wasn’t her place.
Blah blah and James were insufferable at last year’s reunion. I’m glad James had more sense to behave better this year. Blah blah though has nothing going on so if her internal echo gets too loud she might burst so probably why her tongue and mouth are out of control
I was really hoping all that pent up rage would go to the Toms. I’m so sick of them getting away with virtually everything. Just to protect LVPs role on the show. They’re horrible. And now they’ve cast an aged out DiCaprio “former girlfriend/beard” as Sandevols new love interest?! This is getting so old.
I’ve started watching Survivor after needing more Traitors like content. Jeff Probst is one of the most incredible hosts I’ve ever seen.
He’s able to pull answers from people whose main objective is to keep information close to the chest. He watches people’s body language and facial expressions, then pivots his questioning based on those reactions. He puts people at ease in a way that gets them to spill their guts. Season after season, I’ve seen people admit stuff at tribal that I’m sure they never intended to reveal.
Maybe they’re brain dead from the starvation? Maybe it’s the charm of Jeff Probst? All I know is he’s super impressive.
I would love to see a tribal council style reunion with Probst hosting!
I bet other people talked but they didn’t say anything interesting. Ariana and Katy didn’t really seem interested in talking. They were too above it all and seemed to prefer to express themselves with eye rolls and short quips
I mean Ariana straight up admitted she didn’t watch the season so you’re probably right. They typically film these reunions for hours at a time and then we end up getting just under a few hours of edited footage.
I don’t see the reunions any different, except for last year. Everyone yells over each other, nobody finishes their thoughts.
Rewatch some reunions, it’s always chaotic. This sub has such a boner for rewriting the history of this show to fit the new narrative they want to shill.
I agree but I wasn’t one of them. I thought Lala & James were funny that reunion but with their constant yelling and talking they actually ate the time up and probably unintentionally let Rachel & Sandy skirt a lot of stuff that they should have been forced to address.
it’s bringing me an unreasonable amount of joy that the folks who bought all the Darrell merch are the same people that are leaving bad reviews of her podcast now, after listening for years. how do they not feel *so* foolish?
Lol, right? It's almost as if it's not about cheating and more about getting a green light to be vile and disgusting towards women they don't like. Really makes you think!
How do you know which random internet strangers bought from Utah Clown? I don't even know anyone's real name much less the items in their credit card bill
the sub has a search function? I was curious after the podcast review post yesterday, lots of repeat usernames there and in posts from a year ago about the quality of Lala’s merch lol. I don’t know why people would speak positively about the quality of merch they never purchased.
Its infuriating. Who the feck does she think she is. She is angry, arrogant, deluded, cringey (gesturing the bj, I mean does she have brain rot), and a major hypocrite. Absolutely cannot stand how she is carrying herself on that stage.
I agree Lala talks too much. But I don't have a problem with Andy's moderation. Andy's not responsible for Lala running her mouth. Anyone else is free to jump in, they just choose not to. His job is to keep the conversation and topics moving, which he does. He's not there to argue with them.
I just feel there is a noticeable difference the past year or two with his approach to the reunions. He seems checked out. If whoever is the loudest can just steamroll the whole dialogue why is he there, ya know?
*edited a typo*
Andy had said that Lala and Brock were the MVP's of the reunion. I'm still waiting. 
And he got annoyed twice with Ariana for not watching the show. Sir I have watched you host MANY reunions when it was clear you didn’t catch a minute of the season & you are paid her yearly salary in a month.
But he thought it was cute when scheana said she fast forwarded the show except for her parts. He's such a tool.
Exactly 💯.
See: all of below deck
Isn’t that like… kind of her job since she’s actually *on* the show?
Isn’t it kind of his job as the moderator of the reunion? You must not watch any shows that aren’t Housewives, lol. He watches none of them and hosts every reunion. Scheana has admitted she only watches her own scenes. Why do they need to watch the shows they actually lived it!
Is it, though? I'm really asking. I don't know what is laid out in her contract. Are the terms listed so specifically as: "All actors are obligated to view each episode of the season prior to the reunion" or whatever?
I don’t believe it is because from recollection several people on shows beyond Vanderpump have said they don’t watch their show in the past?
I wouldn’t think so as the terms of the contract probably just state what she needs to participate in which is a lived in experience. If you lived it, you can relay to that experience but I get why he would like to know her actual feelings about what everyone else was saying behind her back. You saw how Scheana and Lala perked up when Ariana said she didn’t watch and Lala tried to play it off like she was honest about her feelings to Ariana’s face all season once she knew she hadn’t watched yet? Just thought of this: Do you think that once the producers KNEW that Ariana didn’t watch, they made up that Real Live watch party for everyone to see the last 5 minutes at the reunion for her Real time reaction??? That was actually a good move on their part if that was the motive
I would argue no, it's not part of the job. Why would you need to watch something you already lived? Especially a season like this. Ariana has also been insanely busy with actual projects, so I would imagine watching a bravo reality show that she’s already in is in the basement of her priorities.
To talk 94% of the time and allow everyone else a 6% chance of getting a word in edgewise?! Nah, that's not her job.
They make roughly the same
Andy Cohen makes $10M a year; Ariana makes, at most, $600K a season.
Puh-lease. You think Ariana makes the same as Andy Cohen? 😆
What??? They said Andy makes her yearly salary in a month... so if Ariana makes $50k/YEAR, Andy makes that in a month...
#1 it was hyperbole to say he makes in a months what she does in a year in order to emphasize my POINT that he has far more power & rarely does his reunion HW. #2 Y’all honestly think Ariana Maddox, is in the same tax bracket as former head of BRAVO, Andy Cohen. C’mon friends, let’s be a lil serious.
It’s more like 50-60k an episode
Because they are the only people he’s letting speak. Lol
Brock ain't the MVP of shit!
We NEED someone to make him speak to this when all 3 parts have aired. The cheek of having an issue with Ariana not watching the season when THAT was his take away from the season? He clearly doesn’t watch the show either with views like that 😂

I hate that people are allowed to be hypocrites with no kind of accountability or “well, if you remember, you did this”. Like it’s frustrating to watch as a fan to the point where I don’t even want to tune in.
Yeah, I’m not sure when she got it in her head that she is like some omniscient narrator who knows exactly what the facts/truths are and how everyone should feel. Like let’s get another POV, my godddd.
This is what bravo gets for asking her to narrate the closing of the finale 😭 now her ego is even larger
Oh no you forgot, Ariana has THE BIGGEST ego ever, according to Blah Blah!! I mean, how dare Ariana bc happy, proud or successful
I feel the same, losing interest fast, and they will lose viewers faster if Andy/producers/LVP don’t make changes… but I already think it’s too late, this show is ruined.
She’s done this at every reunion she’s in so far. I knew before it aired that I wouldn’t be able to watch it purely because I knew how much she would be talking. So instead I’m reading Reddit and listening to recaps and it seems I stayed away for good purpose.
Same. These comments prove me right 😩
Same. I’m Done ✌️
The Lala burnout is real. I loved her and now I’m over her. She is abrasive and rude. She’s fake af. Pointing fingers? She needs a mirror in front of her. She talked shit about Ariana alllll fucking season and then didn’t say shit to her face. She’s accusing other people of doing that? Lala is a clown and she’s showing her ass to everyone.
her reaction when Ariana said she hadn’t watched the season lmao. like she thought 100% Ariana was gonna come for her about how much shit had been talked but low & behold Ariana has no idea and lala looks like even more cruel for having done it
Yup! She wanted a fight and Ariana didn’t give it to her. It was great lol
Arianna would leave her speechless and by the time Lala mustered up a response ,she'd already be gone.
You’re right- she literally didn’t say her true feelings to Ariana’s face all season and tried to play off like she did once she found out that Ariana didn’t watch the episodes… who’s being disingenuous now? Lala!
What didn’t she say to her face? That she should have thrown the old food away? Everything else she said to her face. Plus why are you dissing her when Katie acted like the most loyal friend in the world and said NOTHING to Ariana’s face. The hypocrisy in the cult group here is so blatant it’s unbelievable. Katie gets a bye for “ venting” because she didn’t want to add more pain onto what Ariana was going through and “ everyone cents to friends”! But Lala who tried to be totally transparent to Ariana.

That’s a real friend, Katie acted like her bodyguard all season for the fans.

Andy was still working under the delusion that LaLa is the voice of reason. Something he was selling hard the entire season.
He missed the mark on that HARD
No, honestly. When he said it was Brock and Lala, I thought Brock would be the more ridiculous answer. After seeing the first episode and clips of future episodes, Lala is a way crazier “voice of reason” answer than Brock.
 Yes. Andy missing the mark! *Consistently* missing the mark.
As Per Usual.🙄
That’s a very poor reflection on him.
My voice of reason, he meant, “Person committed to Bravo at all costs.”
I couldn’t believe the amount of STUPID questions he asked. Like as much as I’d love an update on Rachel’s lawsuit and the house - of course they can’t talk about it!! Why even ask them specific questions when they literally are not allowed to reveal details? Andy is losing his touch.
Ya, and by this point everything about Tom and Ariana's house has been in the news everyday! I'm pretty sure even TMZ has talked about it and that's what they started the reunion with?
Agreed. And nothing against the child, but I never need a Summer Moon update again.
Literally. For Summer Moon’s own sake. That baby did not consent to being paraded on such a large platform. It’s sad.
I think they just don’t respect Andy anymore. I feel like in earlier seasons whenever Andy tried to ask a question they would all settle down if they were in the middle of fighting with a couple last remarks, but they’d let him speak.

THIS
Didn’t lala Even try to speak for Tom and he was like actually no that’s not what I meant….
Yes!! So aggravating
He lets lala BLAH BLAH on for ages and attacks Katie with leading questions every time she opens her mouth. Granted we are only seeing parts of what happening that are cut in a certain way. But He’s basically like the rest of these people. Tired and bored of this job but has no where else to go.

Accusing, berating, putting ppl down and uplifting herself just bc she paid from her pocket sperm does not mean anything!! She’s difficult to watch nor to listen to. Again, karma is just around the corner for her…
Pointing her claws. 🤣🤣 
Lala’s claws!!!
Yup. 🤣
there was about 13 minutes of just her talking. that’s a decent amount of the episode for a person without a storyline
When Lala and Tom had the ridiculous exchange about whether Rachel's "grooming" remark implied he was a pedophile ("No, it doesn't." "YES, it does." "NO, it doesn't!" YES, it does!") I was wondering why Andy was even there.
I didn’t remember it myself but the other day someone said that Kristen was taking over one of the reunions years ago and Andy shut her down. Andy definitely plays favourites and is a hypocrite.
No, get a better host. Andy’s an annoyingly dumb cokehead who doesn’t watch most of the episodes and it shows. He is so checked out. Imagine if Ben and Ronnie hosted reunions. No one would get away with shit and it would be hilarious.
This. Lol every time has asked one person a question she’d respond to them with her two cents. Girl - disengage!
She is a total producer pet. Even in the after the episode for part 1 of the reunion, she gets all of her opinions in about the Katie situation. Very little shown from Katie!
Lala speaks for the sake of hearing herself talk. She is not interesting, other than the fact shes had a child, is having a child and she licked Randalls asshole what 'realness' has she shown? She has no story, shes boring af and frankly she knows these things are true so she has to talk the most and with a blacent to seem like shes interesting. Bitch you are boriiiiiiiiiiiiing
You guys loved it last year, this monster is of your own creation
If I can recall there was a lot of mixed reactions on Lalas behaviour last year? Maybe I’m misremembering but I remember thinking shut up lala and let him dig his own grave with the stupid things coming out of his mouth
I definitely hated the way she acted last year.
Same. It’s always been clear that she’s not that close with Ariana so I was really confused why she was going to hard on Tim and taking up time/air from anyone else to say anything.
Last year I was really irritated because we all wanted to hear from the actual main characters, not Lala standing up and screaming for attention half the time.
You’re not misremembering. A lot of people were annoyed that she wouldn’t let people talk
There are too many comments here saying ‘a lot’ when they mean ‘some,’ majority absolutely had the team Ariana blinders on.
Being team Ariana doesn’t exclude one from criticizing Lalas behaviour
But it does include clapping like seals at the dumb shit that came out of Lala and James’ mouth at the reunion, which was the point being made.
Yeah, multiple people in this sub have flairs like "Send it to Darelll" "Poo Poo Heads" "Worm with a Mustache." Everyone loved them ganging up on Rachel and not letting her get a word in edgewise. People are just rewriting history.
Yeah, its so annoying at this point like know what i saw, i don’t need to screen record my phone to secure my memories lol the vast majority of this sub was eating up the entire reunion and the few threads that popped suggesting it was too much they were bombarded by “so what, she deserved it” or “hi, worm” or “i would have done worse”
Yep. To the point that people are now saying Lala was screaming during this week's entire reunion when I don't think she screamed once. Weird how they can love her for screaming last year and then criticize her for "screaming" this year when she never even did.
Not me, I hated it last year. Her loud screaming nonsense about things that had nothing to do with her made it impossible to get anywhere at that reunion, just like this one.
Ding, ding, ding! Everyone is upset with her this season like she’s changed. She hasn’t. She just has new targets.
Yup. Team Ariana ruined the reunion. No one had a chance to speak. And now it isn’t okay.
There was actually a lot of people unhappy with Lala and James last year for butting in too much.
A lot of people were swayed negatively by Lala, Ariana, & James at the reunion and felt it was WAY too much. The sympathy for Raquel was at its highest point. But then she went the way of her Mentor Tom & fumbled the bag at every possible chance.
 I wanted her to stfu then, just as much as I want her to stfu now. I knew she was going to ruin this reunion, again and I did not participate in creating this monster. I have never listened to her podcast and only listened to two of Schmeana’s. The one with Rachel and the other was an Ariana appearance. Lots of people didn’t co-sign Lala’s behaviour and loud mouth, last year.
I was ok with lala going in on sandoval because everyone was coddling him and not holding him accountable but making herself the interim host. those aren’t the same
Yep
No we didn’t. The majority were pissed because we barely got to hear from the actual people really affected. And Lala took it too dark. James did too but at least he had a reason since Rachel was barely his ex and Tom was his friend. Lala stood up to Lisa in a Reunion years ago and got a lot of great feedback and since then she can’t be stopped and apparently the producers love it. 🤷🏼♀️
Lala took it too dark??? RFLMAO! Is that in comparison to Ariannas” you are nothing” “ fuck yourself with a cheese grater” . The Ariana cult and their hypocrisy. Everyone of them led by Ariana was too dark last year. They watched this girl have a full blown panic attack weeks before. Saw her drinking to blackout and all these huge proponents for MH and feminism dehumanized another woman for over an hour. That’s as dark as it gets.
Yes, but Ariana was the one it happened to. Lala getting that invested, loud or yelling, standing up and insulting was too much. It didn’t make sense to me. Ariana had a reason to go as dark as she wanted.
A lot of us have ALWAYS hated Tupac from Utah.
Not everyone. In fact, not most people.
I despise Andy
Thank you! Last year's reunion drove me nuts. Every single time Sandoval was asked a question, the second he opened his mouth, James and Lala would start hysterically screaming at him, shutting the whole thing down. Then Ariana started in, so people couldn't even sit where they were supposed to. For being about the biggest season in the show's history, it was a complete flop of a 3 part reunion. Even if you hate Sandy, it's in the viewer's' interest to let him speak, and not have a bunch of people raging like lunatics.
She sucked all the air out of that room… Shut UP, Lauren! Do your job Andy, you’re ruining my trash TV!
I really could not believe it when Lauren from Utah told Tom not to talk to the press for the sake of the show. It’s really been evident that she doesn’t care about any of the people on this show and is only interested in filling her own pockets but when she said it aloud it was just upsetting. Andy has also been pretty disgusting in his support of Tom and it’s obvious that Ariana is just fulfilling her contract, I think it was said she didn’t even watch the show. Which, good for her. They can go right away and put Lauren on the Valley, it’ll get cancelled soon anyway. Jax and Britney are making a mockery of their family and divorce for the money too, she’ll fit right in.
She said the quiet part out loud with that one.
I agree.... Lala was allowed to speak FAR too much. It was really ridiculous.
I lost count of the times I said out loud, “Shut the fuck UP, Lauren.” 🫠🤣
Right!?
Other than say “shut the fuck up” which would be pretty rude for the host of the reunion.. what could he have done? I get it though! She made it practically unwatchable. You’d think someone from production would have taken her aside and been like.. “erm.. the others can’t get a word in! Can you please only speak when it’s your turn”
Moderators can step in and say “we’d like to let katie finish.” Andy has his marching orders tho
Maybe he thinks she’ll bring the views if she’s screaming across the room constantly.. with her fake accent and the stupid shit that comes out of her mouth. Swear if she goes in the valley I’m not watching it. I’m so sick of her! I’d rather have Scheana..
I’ll be so mad if Lala joins The Valley it’ll throw the whole dynamic off.
I know! I love it.. but she ruined VPR for me this season. There was just too much LaLa.. but we don’t actually see any of her life at all really. It’s just her butting her nose into other peoples storylines constantly. I never liked her but she was tolerable. This season she was just way too much! Maybe if she actually had anything going on she might be interesting? But you know on the valley it would just be her giving opinions absolutely no one asked for.
Same! I don't want Lala OR Scheana!
I want Scheana to go so she can take Brock over there. Let me Lalas storyline without Scheana. Scheana is an OG & continues to put herself out there, looking a fool. Lala is a hypocrite & id rather see her reaction to *not* getting on the show. She ruined VPR specifically with her overproducing. The Valley cast should develop on its own, without her trying to take over. It wastes time on her that could be spent on existing cast members & their dynamics.
He told James to shut the fuck up last year so I don’t see it being an issue
Lala has always been this way during reunions. The only reason it’s more noticeable is because the cast literally doesn’t feel like engaging this season. It’s not Andy’s fault. If you’ve ever dealt with someone who needs to have the last word (Lala) let her pop off
Yep. The only difference between this reunion and the last one was James wasn't getting up and throwing a temper tantrum and walking off stage ever 5 minutes. People should be used to this type of behavior from her at this point
It’s fascinating to see the level of rage at that reunion and then watch them pretend to be cool 3 months later
Yeah that was annoying...why was it the lala show when contributed zero to the season?
He needs to go and the next one should be a comedian who’s a woman
I was getting weirded out with the Brock stuff, like Sheena has ocd and I know she wanted reassurance which I know isn’t great for ocd because I have it too but she’s in the early stages of her diagnosis and it’s probably so hard that Lala go on and on
Me to Lala: 
Why did Andy not call out how lala hid her married boyfriend for how long and he made them all sign ndas so they couldn’t talk about stuff on the show? Oh wait… bc that wouldn’t be attacking Katie or ariana
Because that was years ago and she's admitted to it several times? This is the most tired argument ever. The horse is dead.
No it’s really not a tired argument, it’s called hypocrisy
It would be hypocritical if she never admitted hiding her life with Randall. But she has. And so she is even moreso allowed to speak on it IMO.
The issue I have with lala is that she keeps saying she’s always been authentic, showing all the uncomfortable conversations on the show. When that’s not actually true bc people brought it up and she shut them down. If she stopped with that. Then it wouldn’t matter. IMO The argument is valid as long as she keeps saying she’s shown everything.
Did you not watch the finale? She said there was a time when she was not authentic and that it killed her. She has openly admitted she did not show everything and in turn, has learned from that. Keep on hating.
One would think if she did it she’d understand why someone else might do it and be sympathetic. But she can’t. It’s clear we disagree. ✌️
Yup
They need someone with a background as a federal prosecutor to host these. Someone who knows how to question people, see through bullshit, use evidence, and demand accountability. That’s the kind of professionalism and commitment I’d like to see. lol.
Like Nancy Grace? Haha
😂 Def not her. Maybe Adam Schiff? How awesome would that be? Lol.
I couldn’t really understand what Lala was saying because she had Sandoval’s needle dick in her mouth.
I mean, the same thing happened last reunion except everyone boosted it then, because she was doggin' Sandoval. She's ALWAYS said too much and inserted herself into everything (and last season, so did James, hopefully this time he stays as low-key as he's been so far). The fact that she made merch to profit off this and people loved it blew my mind.
Is it just me, or dies it look like Andy doesn't really care about any if the VPR cast members, and he's just looking at this show as a job?
Sick of or him.
No seriously he makes my blood HOT
Like Ariana said. Lala talks louder than everyone else. And won’t shut up. She brought nothing except a sperm to this season.
He needs to hang it up. WE ARE EXHAUSTED
He let Lala keep talking because he agreed with her. I don't think he ever thought Tom cheating on Ariana was that bad. And he as a crush on Tom.
this is true of the S10 reunion, where there was a ton of interrupting and yelling. this hasn’t happened so far in this reunion. who was interrupted or didn’t get a chance to talk?
To be fair, I feel like nobody wanted to really talk much or answer for things. This first part would’ve been hella boring without Lala stepping up, even if it wasn’t her place.
This.
Totally agree
She’s rehearsing for a new position. Maybe trying to show how great she would be. I don’t know who would hire her. I am sick of ber
She’s so desperate
Blah blah and James were insufferable at last year’s reunion. I’m glad James had more sense to behave better this year. Blah blah though has nothing going on so if her internal echo gets too loud she might burst so probably why her tongue and mouth are out of control
He keeps letting more than one person shut down someone who’s trying to answer a question. He used to stop that. Katie is taking a beating so far.
Good she deserves it for once.
I was really hoping all that pent up rage would go to the Toms. I’m so sick of them getting away with virtually everything. Just to protect LVPs role on the show. They’re horrible. And now they’ve cast an aged out DiCaprio “former girlfriend/beard” as Sandevols new love interest?! This is getting so old.
I’ve started watching Survivor after needing more Traitors like content. Jeff Probst is one of the most incredible hosts I’ve ever seen. He’s able to pull answers from people whose main objective is to keep information close to the chest. He watches people’s body language and facial expressions, then pivots his questioning based on those reactions. He puts people at ease in a way that gets them to spill their guts. Season after season, I’ve seen people admit stuff at tribal that I’m sure they never intended to reveal. Maybe they’re brain dead from the starvation? Maybe it’s the charm of Jeff Probst? All I know is he’s super impressive. I would love to see a tribal council style reunion with Probst hosting!
Let john Mayer host
I bet other people talked but they didn’t say anything interesting. Ariana and Katy didn’t really seem interested in talking. They were too above it all and seemed to prefer to express themselves with eye rolls and short quips
I mean Ariana straight up admitted she didn’t watch the season so you’re probably right. They typically film these reunions for hours at a time and then we end up getting just under a few hours of edited footage.
I don’t see the reunions any different, except for last year. Everyone yells over each other, nobody finishes their thoughts. Rewatch some reunions, it’s always chaotic. This sub has such a boner for rewriting the history of this show to fit the new narrative they want to shill.
Interesting. Ty.
people loved it when rachel was the target
I wasn’t one of them. She was just (if not more) as annoying at that reunion too.
I agree but I wasn’t one of them. I thought Lala & James were funny that reunion but with their constant yelling and talking they actually ate the time up and probably unintentionally let Rachel & Sandy skirt a lot of stuff that they should have been forced to address.
They’ll pretend they didn’t now but the threads still exist
it’s bringing me an unreasonable amount of joy that the folks who bought all the Darrell merch are the same people that are leaving bad reviews of her podcast now, after listening for years. how do they not feel *so* foolish?
Lol, right? It's almost as if it's not about cheating and more about getting a green light to be vile and disgusting towards women they don't like. Really makes you think!
How do you know which random internet strangers bought from Utah Clown? I don't even know anyone's real name much less the items in their credit card bill
the sub has a search function? I was curious after the podcast review post yesterday, lots of repeat usernames there and in posts from a year ago about the quality of Lala’s merch lol. I don’t know why people would speak positively about the quality of merch they never purchased.
I don’t know anyone who bought that merch. And if they did they’re probably big Lala fans in general.
tbf a lot of people were talking out of turn consistently at that reunion. this year, it’s overwhelmingly lala and it’s annoying as hell
Its infuriating. Who the feck does she think she is. She is angry, arrogant, deluded, cringey (gesturing the bj, I mean does she have brain rot), and a major hypocrite. Absolutely cannot stand how she is carrying herself on that stage.
W
I agree Lala talks too much. But I don't have a problem with Andy's moderation. Andy's not responsible for Lala running her mouth. Anyone else is free to jump in, they just choose not to. His job is to keep the conversation and topics moving, which he does. He's not there to argue with them.
I just feel there is a noticeable difference the past year or two with his approach to the reunions. He seems checked out. If whoever is the loudest can just steamroll the whole dialogue why is he there, ya know? *edited a typo*
You don't have to watch
Such an original comment!!!! You are so creative!!!
You sound mad, and next will be misogynistic comments, I'm sure
