The final reunion episode of Vanderpump Rules Season 10 was finally released on Binge yesterday and I can now rest easy. For weeks, every waking thought has been spent obsessing with the messy as hell drama, which created some truly *chef’s kiss* reality TV moments in history. 

Naturally, the final reunion episode revolved around the biggest bombshell of the season (and arguably the entire show): Scandoval. 

For Vanderpump Rules newbies, let me break it down for you. Key stars of the show, Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix have been in a long-term relationship for nine years. They live together, and have weathered years of on-screen drama together. They were ride or die. 

Enter Raquel Leviss. Raquel first came onto the scene in Season 5 as fellow co-star James Kennedy’s girlfriend, and later fiancé. Raquel and James split last year, but she retained her spot on Season 10 of the series as one of Ariana’s best friends. Then, she and Sandoval proceeded to engage in a months-long affair. Ouch. 

And the way that Ariana found out about their affair? Well, that’s the kicker. In the finale, the reality star claimed she checked Tom’s phone while watching him perform on stage with his band. Apparently, she found a screen recording of a FaceTime chat between Tom and Raquel, and we’re led to believe that it was of a sexual nature. It’s all kicked off between the entire cast since, with everyone denouncing Raquel as Rachel and Tom Sandoval as the worst man on earth and, my personal favourite, a ‘worm with a mustache’.

While the first two episodes of the Vanderpump Rules reunion covered Tom Sandoval’s pathetic justifications, and Ariana and the rest of the cast’s (frankly, hilarious) responses, Episode 3 is where Raquel takes to the stage. 

In the episode, Raquel revealed that she had decided with Tom to “lie” about the affair length, so that it “would be less hurtful”. The exact timeline hasn’t been confirmed by both Tom and Raquel, but it was apparently longer than seven months, and she admitted that the pair had sex in Tom and Ariana’s house… while Ariana was away for her grandmother’s funeral. Grim. 

When pressed by Andy Cohen, Raquel and Tom both said that they’re now “in love”. 

The whole thing was insane. Probably one of the most searing moments of the episode came in Ariana’s response to Raquel. Ariana told Raquel to “Fuck [yourself] with a fucking cheese grater”, and said that she “wishes nothing but the worst happens could ever happen to a person on you”.

Truly peak reality TV right there. Naturally, the internet also had many thoughts. And while we wait for the next season to come around, let’s relive the drama through the greatest Vanderpump Rules reactions and memes:
