Vanderpump Rules mid-season 10 trailer teases chilling moments
Season 10 of Vanderpump Rules aired over a month ago and had viewers hooked to the series. Fans as well as the cast weren't expecting the season to turn out the way it did.
After news of Sandoval and Raquel's affair came out, Bravo revealed that it was going to film more scenes to capture the fallout between him and Ariana as part of the same season.
The Vanderpump Rules mid-season trailer began with Lisa Vanderpump's voiceover of what fans can expect from the show. The sneak-peak began with Tom Schwartz and Sandoval navigating their professional lives while the rest of the cast dealt with their own personal lives.
In another scene, Scheana was seen telling Rachel:
"I was the OG homewrecking w***e of his group... And then came Lala, and now here you are."
This statement now looks ironic after Raquel's affair with Tom Sandoval became public. The former was also seen kissing fellow Vanderpump Rules cast member Tom Schwartz, a storyline that was a major focal point this season. Schwartz's now ex-wife Katie Maloney, in another scene, said:
"We're not divorced yet. This is my husband."
Meanwhile, Raquel was also seen making out with a guy in a bar who was previously married and had kids. The trailer even documented some friction between Lala Kent, James Kennedy, and his girlfriend Ally Lewber. In a conversation, the DJ asked Lala if he should propose.
The Vanderpump Rules mid-season 10 trailer also documented the fallout between Sandoval and Ariana. While the former addressed his concerns of having "s*x" with his then-girlfriend only four times a year, Ariana referred to her ex-boyfriend as someone who "feels like a stranger."
Tom Schwartz was seen stating "open relationships are tough," indicating the rumors that Sandoval and Ariana were in an open relationship, while Scheana called the scandal a "full-blown love affair."
In a separate scene from the Vanderpump Rules trailer, Sandoval said:
"I wish we woul've both tried harder."
To this, Ariana responded:
"You don't deserve one f***ing tear from me."
While Sandoval was seen pointing out to someone that they didn't know "what was going on between them," Raquel expressed having no regrets about a certain relationship. The trailer then continued to showcase a lot of fights, fun, tears, emotions and drama.
By the end of the trailer, Sandoval asked if he could get his ex-girlfriend something from the kitchen. The clip ended with Ariana saying:
"For you to die"
