VPR Season 12: Cast Changes Ahead — What We Know So Far
Hey y'all! So, you're all dying to know what's up with Vanderpump Rules season 12, right? I mean, who isn't? This show is like a delicious train wreck – you can't look away! And this season? It's shaping up to be a major shakeup. I've been following this show religiously since practically day one, and let me tell you, I've seen some drama. But this? This is different.
The Fallout from Scandoval
Let's be real, we all know the Scandoval dominated season 10 and spilled over into season 11. The fallout from Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss' affair was, to put it mildly, explosive. It completely changed the dynamics of the entire cast. I mean, I was livid! I spent weeks ranting to my friends, analyzing every single Instagram post, and obsessing over every tea spill. Honestly, I'm pretty sure I single-handedly kept the Bravo website afloat during that time with my constant rewatching.
I'll admit, I initially thought they'd all just move on and everything would magically be fine for the next season. Boy, was I wrong!
Who's Staying? Who's Going?
So, the big question everyone's asking: who's coming back for season 12? Some things are pretty clear; Lisa Vanderpump, the queen herself, will undoubtedly be back running her SUR empire. She's the glue that holds this whole chaotic mess together! And, Katie Maloney, Scheana Shay, and Ariana Madix? Yeah, they're likely to be there. They're practically OG cast members at this point.
But things get trickier. Sandoval and Raquel's futures are, shall we say, up in the air. Their actions caused a huge rift in the group. I seriously think production is still trying to figure out how to navigate this. Their return is highly debated amongst fans and likely depends on many factors, including their willingness to engage in a reconciliation narrative (which I personally doubt would be welcomed).
Then there's the other cast members. While some, like Brock Davies and Jax Taylor (yes, that Jax Taylor—apparently he's making cameo appearances) could pop up, others might have reduced roles or even be completely written out. The whole situation is a huge mess, frankly!
Predictions for Season 12
Honestly, predicting Vanderpump Rules is like trying to predict the weather in a hurricane. It's impossible. But based on what I’ve seen, I'm anticipating a season focused on the aftermath of the affair. I can totally see a lot of therapy sessions (which, let's be honest, are just as dramatic as the fights), and a possible shift in the core group of friends. New people might be introduced to shake things up even further.
What we definitely will see is how the friendships—or lack thereof—have changed. The level of emotional distress, the fallout, and potential reconciliation scenarios are all elements that are essential for a compelling storyline.
Tips for Watching Season 12 (and avoiding a meltdown)
- Manage your expectations: This show is about drama, not necessarily about realistic relationships. Let go of the need for a happily ever after.
- Don't read every single online comment: Seriously, the internet can be a toxic place. Limit your exposure to fan theories and online gossip.
- Remember it's a TV show: Try not to get too emotionally invested in the characters' lives. I know, easier said than done, trust me I've been there!
This season is going to be wild. I'm grabbing my popcorn and preparing for the rollercoaster. Are you? Let me know in the comments what you think will happen! And let’s not forget to use those relevant hashtags, people – #VanderpumpRules #VPRSeason12 #Scandoval #BravoTV. Let's get this trending!
