Fans reacted to Vanderpump Rules season 10 episode 13

In episode 13 of Vanderpump Rules season 10, Lisa Vanderpump’s husband Ken Todd made a guest appearance. According to fans, his segment looked scripted as he dropped Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss-related bomb.

Throughout the episode, Ariana Madix’s screen time seemed more than others as she praised Raquel Leviss as a friend. It looked like producers wanted to show how Ariana used to think of Raquel before Scandoval.

Twitter users called out the show and the producers as they believed Vanderpump Rules season 10 episode 13 was scripted.

Take a look at fans’ reactions:

In the latest episode, Raquel Leviss told Lisa Vanderpump that she spent the night at Sandoval’s house as she was drunk. Lisa then passed the information to her husband Ken, who addressed the incident in front of Katie Maloney. Katie then told about it to Lala Kent, who forwarded it to James Kennedy.

As it spread like wildfire, Raquel decided to inform Ariana about the same. The latter didn’t make it a big deal. Later in the episode, Scheana Shay told her about Katie and Ally Lewber spreading rumors about the open relationship between Ariana and Sandoval. Ariana then confronted Katie, who tried to warn her friend about Raquel. But the actress shut her down and stated that she trusted Raquel and Sandoval.

In episode 13, Lala Kent was the most suspicious of Sandoval and Raquel. She even called out the TomTom co-owner in front of Ariana over him not joining the latter at her grandmother’s funeral. Lala pointed out that Tom Sandoval lied about not getting any cabs at the time. She, in fact, said in a confessional:

“Something don’t smell right with this Raquel and Sandoval ‘friendship.’ I know better than anybody that when you have a dude who is your best friend, who’s there during difficult times, then you add alcohol? You end up sitting on their face.”

While the cast members were getting suspicious, the truth is set to soon come out in the open.

The official synopsis of episode 13, titled Lady and the Glamp reads:

“Raquel’s birthday dreams come true when she embarks on a glamping trip with some of her closest friends. Lala grows suspicious about Sandoval's interest in Raquel. James and Ally attempt to work out their issues following a disastrous beach day. Ariana staunchly defends her boyfriend until she catches him in a lie.”

Meanwhile, viewers can check the local listings to re-watch the latest episode or wait for Peacock to stream it. Episode 13 will also be available on Bravo’s site.
