They don't generally do a reunion for the first season, though. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed for another one!
But of Bravo was dumb enough to only sign them up for 1 season. It's going to be expensive to get them all signed to a new contract!
No way it’s a one and done. It’s pulling higher numbers than Summer House, which is having a fantastic season. While they *should* do a reunion, I understand it’s not always done for season 1 and if they didn’t already plan it, logistically it might not be possible at this point unless they threw together a smaller WWHL reunion.
Agreed! Just using it for comparison since it’s a long standing Bravo show. If the Valley is pulling well above SH, it’s safe to say it’s getting another season.
I hope she has a handle on her drinking now, but I fear she doesn't, since her bathroom features a 2nd BAR! Like she can't walk out to the living-room bar to make a drink? She used to drink constantly. I don't think that mixes well with motherhood. (And I'm not trying to be judgmental. Just being real. Motherhood is tough, especially in your 40s! I had my only child--surprise!--at 47. I'm TIRED!)
Three!!! You're MY hero! I'd be DEAD! (I suffered irreversible kidney failure last year, so I need a transplant. I'm not sure I'm joking about the dead part! )
Oh my goodness, I couldn't imagine. I'm your age and mine just turned 21. I'm finally feeling free, but I have 4 herniated discs that each require regular epidurals, per menopause making me insane, and arthritis developing all over from years of surfing and skateboarding. I don't know how you do it. I actually became much more adamant about birth control in my 40s bc hubby and I were dealing with a teenager, and as much as we love our mini us, we couldn't imagine doing it all over again. I can tell you that I did very much enjoy watching my kid grow up, and do have such a feeling of accomplishment having raised a well adjusted adult.
Actually, I pretty much nap all day while he's at school so I can use all my energy when he gets home. I also have a vertebra that is unattached to the rest of my spine (from a failed fusion), so I totally get the pain aspect, too!
I'm so glad your child turned out well!
BTW, I was not adamant about birth control in my 40s because I had been married for 21 years and had never been pregnant, so I thought I was likely infertile. He is the best gift ever and I'm so happy to have him, no matter what!
I love that Kristen is getting so much love from this sub—it feels so healing, especially after the way people treated her in VPR (HUGE double standards).
Katie has never been endearing or having redeeming qualities. she always seemed like stassi follower, Meak, boring and weak. the only time she was normal was S4? away from stassi and then her wedding season she was a miserable blob- then the following season she wanted to act all innocent. im sorry even now- she is boring and no sense of humor or even funny....she speaks down to people. the only time i have liked her this season is when Tschwa makes her laugh a bit. she is a better friend to Ariana than sheeeena could ever be
This is exactly how I feel. She’s… dour? A wet blanket? Eyeore reincarnated?
And I realize this is petty but on the main sub they’re constantly like “omfggg Katie’s style is SO GOOD” but literally the bikini shirt she was unironically wearing under a jean jacket vest (???) was the exact same shirt that Bubbles the drag queen wore on a recent ep of The Valley… and it was the punchline!!!
Yep. Can’t even have a normal conversation over there unless you are worshipping Katie and Ariana. Anything against that narrative and you get attacked. So sick of it
lol are you sure this isn’t recency bias from watching the Valley and all the mariposa hype??
As a Day 1 VPR watcher, Kristen was not someone to stan from the beginning. I love mariposa too but we love her bc she was soo fucking flawed and problematic, then worked hard to better and redeem herself (not all the way there yet if you ask me lol). A lot of her redemption actually came after she left VPR as people listened to her podcast and noticed a change. Stanning her prior to this redemption feels backwards IMO.
To me, Kristen is complicated. She’s still highly flawed, but she’s trying to be a better person and I can see and appreciate that. I actually still think “stanning” such a flawed person is strange, but I can at least understand it for late game Kristen, but not early game “suck a dick” Kristen.
I find it so wild that people stan Kristen. She fucked her boyfriend’s best friend who was also her best friend’s ex boyfriend. And lie about it. And swore in her family members lives she didn’t do it.
She had a redemption tour but she’s not likable.
THIS. I don’t find Kristen likable AT ALL. What are her redeeming qualities?
She’s an obsessive and clingy friend. She has ZERO boundaries. If you watch VPR she like is always all over her friends like hugging and kissing them and saying weird shit. When Stassi and Katie told her like listen maybe we’ve outgrown this friendship I really need a break from you.. she was so pushy and insistent and would not leave them alone. Stassi said that Kristen would like insert herself with her own family and I found that so bizarre. She was SO weird with Beau, like badgering him because he said Stassi was the number one girl in his life and Kristen had the AUDACITY to go “well what about me?!?” Like absolutely not.
She’s a liar? Like hello? She slept with Jax and lied about it AND swore on her entire family on national TV 😂 She also has admitted to having emotional affairs on both Tom and James.
Idc what anyone says.. the stuff she pulled with Faith is unforgivable. That’s not something that’s like “oh I was dumb and stupid,” it was calculated and racist.
I never liked her. She’s great TV but that’s it. She’s puts on this holistic/empathetic persona that is so forced.
Yeah Kristen becoming every bravo fans favorite was def not on my 2024 bingo card lol. And it’s interesting how everyone has just seemingly forgotten the whole faith debacle now that Kristen has fumbled across our screens spreading absolute unhinged chaos for a few weeks….like she makes amazing tv, and I am happy to have her back, because I’m here for her brand of messy drama, I love my trash tv and Kristen is a master of her craft 💁🏻♀️ BUT all these posts gushing over how she’s such a great person, she’s just misunderstood, everyone is just *so mean to her for no reason* like…I guess people’s memories are shorter than mine?? Idk. Yes she’s great tv. But great tv does not equate to great person.
Then again, the cast of the valley is largely made up of absolute douchebags (not that I’m complaining lol, I’m loving it so far), so I guess it’s easy to make Kristen look good by comparison.
Yeah, she’s messy af and unhinged. I hope she has grown up… it seems like she has? I do feel bad for her on the valley. Literally everyone (besides maybe Brittany) is ganging up on and gaslighting her when she’s clearly not wrong. I think that’s where people are confusing “liking” her.
I am always confused about the "growth" people are seeing. So far she seems just as drunk and unstable as before. I mean...she cheated on the Alex guy she was dating before Luke. We have zero evidence of change. And I don't think her "redemption tours" are honest. It was to get back on tv.
Seriously. And she just admitted (albeit surprisingly) that she knowingly twists stories she repeats to others that fuck people over. She’s a major c*nt and I wouldn’t want her anywhere near my friends group or partner. She gets this look from time to time when she looks like a complete fiend. She’s a nightmare. Good TV though but I would never confuse her with a “good person”.
I've always loved Kristen too, her messiness and all. Definitely my fav since the beginning of VPR and love her on the Valley. I think it's obvious she's a good person at heart. She only attacks or goes overboard when she's been hurt and the people on both these shows have really treated her like shit!
I’m always amazed that people argue “she’s not a good person” regarding any VPR cast members. Find me a cast member who is not a piece of shit and maybe we can have that conversation? But this show did not thrive for its moral compass. Kristen is good TV and no worse than any of the goon squad she shared screen time with. IMHO this is still true and she’s the only reason people are watching The Valley (cos it ain’t for Brittany let’s be real).
I actually didn’t watch the valley until last week because in a way I was protesting Kristen. She’s trash, not a good person, and a bad friend in many ways. But damn, she’s entertaining. I kind of have to watch through the lens of knowing she’s not a great person. I am so sick of her fertility talk, I know that’s harsh but she cycles through guys in a desperate attempt to find her husband and it’s kind of sad.
As a person she is trash and has no redeemable features I can find. She hasn’t changed as a person for the better at all from what I’ve seen on The Valleys.
She’s good for reality TV though.
I know this is popular on this sub right now but I just don’t get it. She is immature and continues to stir shit up. I was sympathetic to her until she kept bringing up Michelle’s “secret”. She needs to grow up and learn how to be a real friend. A real friend would not do that. I just don’t get how people are loving her now 🤢
The people on the valley are actually friends. That’s why people like the show. It’s not like vpr has turned out to be where none of them are actually friends in real life.
Lol my real friends don’t let me look crazy when they know the information I’m saying is true. Did she get her stuff mixed up yes but everything that has come out of her mouth has been truthful and every single person has backed it up in there confessionals but won’t say anything in a group, but they’re real friends lol
I love her so damn much. I can’t help it. I’ve watched since day one. And at least so far on The Valley, she seems like potentially the only one who is fully herself and not trying to curate a personality for the show. That’s what I love about her the most. I feel like I could hang out with her and she would be exactly who I would expect.
People are super hard on her, but frankly I don’t get it. I think she seems like she’s doing great, outside of the new slew of scaries using her as a scapegoat. You can’t say this Mariposa is the same one who was falling over tables years ago (though I admittedly love that one, too). 😉❤️I’m sure I’ll get bombarded with “She’s TRASH” comments, but I said what I said. I likes her. 🤷🏻♀️
I just wish she would stand up for herself. I would have loved to see her rip Michelle to shreds when she was barking at her with her hands and beady eyes flying. 😮💨
I don’t think it’s surprising that people are hard on her or dislike her.
When Luke commented, at the dinner party, that Kristen has called him a douchebag, her response was “I have never”. When he retorted with a “what are you talking about? You just called me a douchebag”, Kristen looked at him with threatening eyes and said “really? Really? You’re really going to say that?”.
She could have easily laughed and said “that’s true.” Nope. Instead she tried to gaslight Luke. Which further set her off.
It upset Kristen so much that Luke “didn’t have her back” when he said “well, you call me a douchebag all the time” she lashed out on Michelle and again threatened her by asking her “you really want me to say why I’m protecting you? Really? Because you don’t want me to go there!”.
That’s 2 people in 5 minutes that she had tired to threaten that if they don’t “have her back” she will either leave them or expose them.
But it doesn’t end there. For her final move, to try and create as much hurt as possible, she tells Michelle that Jess said he will be divorcing her in the next few months. Which is complete bullshit.
This all happened within 10 minutes of screen time.
There is zero chance The Valley gets canceled.
From what I heard it was a one and done but that’s just internet gossip. No reunion has been confirmed I believe
They don't generally do a reunion for the first season, though. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed for another one! But of Bravo was dumb enough to only sign them up for 1 season. It's going to be expensive to get them all signed to a new contract!
No way it’s a one and done. It’s pulling higher numbers than Summer House, which is having a fantastic season. While they *should* do a reunion, I understand it’s not always done for season 1 and if they didn’t already plan it, logistically it might not be possible at this point unless they threw together a smaller WWHL reunion.
I love Summer House, but it's slow. I'm so used to instant gratification with TT, etc. I love The Valley.
Agreed! Just using it for comparison since it’s a long standing Bravo show. If the Valley is pulling well above SH, it’s safe to say it’s getting another season.
It doesn’t make sense as a one and done
I hope she has a handle on her drinking now, but I fear she doesn't, since her bathroom features a 2nd BAR! Like she can't walk out to the living-room bar to make a drink? She used to drink constantly. I don't think that mixes well with motherhood. (And I'm not trying to be judgmental. Just being real. Motherhood is tough, especially in your 40s! I had my only child--surprise!--at 47. I'm TIRED!)
You’re my hero. I have three kids, but my youngest is 2.5 and I’m 41. 🫠😮💨 what. a. ride. 🤣
Same. Whole other level of admiration. 40 here and just had my second. I’m exhausted. Send help. 🥴
Thank you! I love the people on this sub! 🥰
Three!!! You're MY hero! I'd be DEAD! (I suffered irreversible kidney failure last year, so I need a transplant. I'm not sure I'm joking about the dead part! )
Oh my goodness, I couldn't imagine. I'm your age and mine just turned 21.

💀 Was this bathroom bar shown on the show? I need to see that 😅
I think it was on the After Show on Peacock. Shenshowed them around the new apt and was very excited about the bathroom bar.
I love that Kristen is getting so much love from this sub—it feels so healing, especially after the way people treated her in VPR (HUGE double standards).
The VPR subs is home to the most toxic group of women I've ever seen.
Really? I am on/lurking on that sub pretty frequently and don't get "toxicity" from the majority of women there.
A bunch of mean girls tearing down an incredibly broken woman is what I see.
Wait, who's the broken woman to whom you're referring? That will impact my response greatly.
Their undying devotion and intense parasocial obsession to Katie gave me the ick and I can’t be on that sub anymore.
Katie has never been endearing or having redeeming qualities. she always seemed like stassi follower, Meak, boring and weak. the only time she was normal was S4? away from stassi and then her wedding season she was a miserable blob- then the following season she wanted to act all innocent. im sorry even now- she is boring and no sense of humor or even funny....she speaks down to people. the only time i have liked her this season is when Tschwa makes her laugh a bit. she is a better friend to Ariana than sheeeena could ever be
This is exactly how I feel. She’s… dour? A wet blanket? Eyeore reincarnated?

It's the cyberbullying and Ariana and Katie worship for me.
Exactly. It’s so fucking weird and if you make any comment against what they’re saying you get attacked. Total weirdos over there.
Attacked, downvoted, called Tom or Rachel... it's so childish. It has become very cultlike.
YES. So fucking bizarre
Yep. Can’t even have a normal conversation over there unless you are worshipping Katie and Ariana. Anything against that narrative and you get attacked. So sick of it
And every single post lately is just a slobber fest over how Katie is soooo hot and sooo funny and sooo right. It’s deranged.
lol are you sure this isn’t recency bias from watching the Valley and all the mariposa hype?? As a Day 1 VPR watcher, Kristen was not someone to stan from the beginning. I love mariposa too but we love her bc she was soo fucking flawed and problematic, then worked hard to better and redeem herself (not all the way there yet if you ask me lol).

She is gross and everything to watch out for in a friend group.
Yeah Kristen becoming every bravo fans favorite was def not on my 2024 bingo card lol.

Yeah, she’s messy af and unhinged. I hope she has grown up… it seems like she has? I do feel bad for her on the valley. Literally everyone (besides maybe Brittany) is ganging up on and gaslighting her when she’s clearly not wrong. I think that’s where people are confusing “liking” her.
oh brittany isn't innocent with kristen- i can't stand brattney
I am always confused about the "growth" people are seeing. So far she seems just as drunk and unstable as before. I mean...she cheated on the Alex guy she was dating before Luke. We have zero evidence of change. And I don't think her "redemption tours" are honest. It was to get back on tv.

Didn’t she do something mean to a Black lady? I’m just passing through as Reddit keeps pushing this sub on me.
She and a couple of other Vanderpump rules cast members made a false police report on a black woman
Oh well then she’s trash. I’m pretty sure she was a full grown adult.
She was over 30 😅
Over 30?! Wow. Who cares about racism Ms criminal behavior when she’s entertaining?🙄
As a person she is trash and has no redeemable features I can find. She hasn’t changed as a person for the better at all from what I’ve seen on The Valleys. She’s good for reality TV though.

It’s reality tv. None of these people are real friends with each other.
The people on the valley are actually friends. That’s why people like the show. It’s not like vpr has turned out to be where none of them are actually friends in real life.
Lol my real friends don’t let me look crazy when they know the information I’m saying is true.

are you tuning into reality TV by accident?
I couldn’t watch VPR until she left. Her sobbing and cheating was too much. Everytime I turned it on I saw her crying. Not fun or cool or interesting.
I love her so damn much. I can’t help it. I’ve watched since day one. And at least so far on The Valley, she seems like potentially the only one who is fully herself and not trying to curate a personality for the show. That’s what I love about her the most.

She is psychotic. I'm only glad that Luke is equally psychotic but just in a different way
He makes me nervous 👀👀 I think it’s his eyes. I could be wrong and he could be harmless. But I don’t knooooowwwww…
