Bravo’s “Vanderpump Rules” has long been one of unscripted television’s most formally adventurous series, with a cinematic grammar that constantly evolves to express the feelings and ideas at each season’s center. Last season, for example, editor Jesse Friedman explored the “Scandoval” situation in which longtime cast member Tom Sandoval cheated on his girlfriend Ariana Madix by telling the story in reverse — a technique that had more in common with the work of Christopher Nolan and Harold Pinter than with other shows in the world of reality TV, and one that provided the perfect visual corollary for Ariana and her friends’ piecing together of the narrative. For the Season 11 finale, Friedman once again took some audacious stylistic risks that paid off not only emotionally, but indicated how the show as a whole might be coming to the end of an era.

It’s apology time.
Tom Sandoval, star of Vanderpump Rules, was the subject of a nearly 7,000 word profile in The New York Times, where he compared his recent cheating scandal to George Floyd and O.J. Simpson.
He has now apologized.
“My intentions behind the comments I made in New York Times Magazine were to explain the level of national media attention my affair received. The comparison was inappropriate and ignorant. I’m incredibly sorry and embarrassed,” Sandoval said.
When asked why Scandoval – which kicked off during the Bravo series during the end of last season – had got so big, Sandoval said, “I’m not a pop-culture historian really but I witnessed the O.J. Simpson thing and George Floyd and all these big things, which is really weird to compare this to that, I think, but do you think in a weird way it’s a little bit the same?...

When a reality TV star gets caught up in a cheating scandal, admittedly one that has captured the nation, it’s never a great idea to compare it to the brutal murder of a man at the hands of the police.
But that’s exactly what Tom Sandoval, star of Vanderpump Rules and the man at the center of the cheating scandal, just did in a New York Times profile.

Like many fans, “Vanderpump Rules” executive producer Natalie Neurauter had many questions when the “Scandoval” broke in March. As the head of post-production for Bravo’s long-running reality TV show, her team’s job was to reconstruct the timeline when Tom Sandoval began cheating on longtime girlfriend Ariana Madix with castmate Rachel “Raquel” Leviss.
When production resumed to capture the fallout from the scandal, Neurauter and her story teams sprung back into action. “Our producers were able to come back on and start searching through footage for more like clues,” Neurauter recalled. “We had all these puzzle pieces. And it felt like they were from different puzzles, and we didn’t know how to put them together. So it was helpful when you know the ending that you’re looking for.”

Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules has released a midseason teaser trailer amidst a love triangle fans are calling “Scandoval,” not to mention the recent announcement that Kristen Doute, who was fired by the series in 2020 over a racist prank against former costar Faith Stowers, will be coming back in Season 10.
“You don’t know what’s going on between us,” cast member Tom Sandoval says to someone during the teaser, which is likely true enough.
The new season of the series had just started airing less than a month ago when it was reported that cast member Sandoval was cheating on his long-time girlfriend Ariana Madix with recently single costar Raquel Leviss. The romantic entanglement, which resulted in Sandoval and Madix’s split, has heated up on social media and the Bravo boards, creating “Scandoval.”

Audiences are tuning back in to Vanderpump Rules. Following the news that longtime stars Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix had split due to an alleged affair between Sandoval and co-star Raquel Leviss, the series saw quite the boost in ratings.
While Season 10 hasn’t quite caught up to the real time drama yet, the March 8 episode was the most-watched in nearly three years with 2.2M viewers after three days of multi-platform viewing. The episode also scored a nearly three-year high in the ad friendly 18-49 demographic.
That’s up from the 0.35 demo rating and 879,000 viewers that the episode scored in live+same-day linear viewing, which was already a feat considering that the previous episode had hit a season low of 648,000 viewers. In L+Sd, the episode was the highest-rated for the series since Part 3 of the Season 8 reunion, which aired in 2020.

HBO announced that the final season of “Insecure” will premiere on Oct. 24 and released a first look at the season.
“I keep frontin’ everybody like I’m not scared about what’s next for me, but I am terrified,” Issa Rae’s character Issa says in a teaser, which you can watch below.
The comedy follows the trials, heartaches and twists of L.A.-based Issa and those closest to her as they navigate love, life, friendship and adapting to newfound responsibilities in their 30s.
Viewers last saw Issa and Lawrence (Jay Ellis) attempting to reconcile, but things got messy when his other ex, Condola (Christina Elmore), told him she was pregnant and planning on keeping the baby. Issa and Molly’s (Yvonne Orji) friendship was strained, while Molly’s relationship with Andrew (Alexander Hodge) came to an end. And Tiffany (Amanda Seales) ran away from home — causing the whole gang to search for her.
