Andy Cohen recently shared his excitement for the second half of Vanderpump Rules season 11, describing it as completely binge-worthy. Cohen expressed his genuine surprise at the quality of the episodes, emphasizing that he watched them as a viewer and not as a producer. He praised the show's team for the significant improvement in the storyline and teased an exciting finale and reunion.
Tom Schwartz, a cast member, echoed Cohen's sentiments, calling the second half of the season 'solid' and one of his favorites. Cohen further discussed the remaining episodes and the upcoming reunion on his SiriusXM show, highlighting the emergence of key cast members like Lala Kent, Scheana Shay's husband Brock Davies, and James Kennedy's girlfriend, Ally Lewber.
Cohen noted that this season's topics were intense and electric, with Kent and Davies standing out as voices of reason. Despite the heated discussions, Cohen appreciated the calm and respectful manner in which the cast addressed the issues.
Season 10 of Vanderpump Rules set records for Bravo and Peacock, particularly due to the scandal involving Tom Sandoval and Rachel 'Raquel' Leviss. The aftermath of their cheating scandal garnered record-breaking viewership, with the first reunion episode becoming the most-watched in Bravo's history.
While season 11 may not surpass the ratings of season 10, the premiere episode still attracted a substantial audience. The success of season 10 also led to lucrative opportunities for the cast, with Ariana Madix reportedly earning over $1 million in sponsorship deals and joining Dancing With the Stars.
Bravo has confirmed the seating chart for the season 11 reunion, which includes key cast members like Lisa Vanderpump, Katie Maloney, and James Kennedy, along with newcomers Jo Wenberg and Ally Lewber. Fans can anticipate more drama and revelations as the season progresses towards its conclusion.
