When Season 10 of Vanderpump Rules wrapped up in June 2023, many fans agreed that Tom Sandoval was a monster for cheating on Ariana Madix and she deserved nothing but great things. Less than a year later, fans have varied and mixed reactions to the Season 11 premiere that was released on January 30th.
Picking up three months after cameras stopped filming, the “Scandoval” is still the topic of conversation amongst this season’s cast. Given this, the first episode follows many of the cast members as they continue to grapple with everything that happened. For Ariana, that means trying to move on while still living in the same house as her ex, while others figure out whose “side” to align themselves with. In a shocking twist, Sandoval was mostly absent from the premiere episode, showing up in the final moments to his quiet and empty house.
