Vanderpump Rules season 11 release timings for all regions
What to expect from Vanderpump Rules season 11?
The new trailer for the upcoming season reveals a lot about the direction in which the show might progress. The drama centered around "Scandoval" is again expected to take center stage in Vanderpump Rules season 11.
For the uninitiated, "Scandoval" is the term coined to describe the cheating scandal involving Tom Sandoval, who cheated on his partner and cast mate Ariana Madix with one of her friends, Raquel Leviss.
Now, in the aftermath of the cheating scandal, which gained enormous press coverage, Ariana is determined to hold her ground and is more empowered than ever. She asserts herself at the beginning of the trailer by saying:
"If I can survive what I thought was a worst-case scenario, then I can do anything."
Even though it might be a new beginning for Ariana, as she is dating someone else, she is still living with her ex, which is something Lisa Vanderpump cannot understand.
Tom and Ariana try their best to avoid each other on the show, and the trailer presents a sneak peek into a heated exchange between them. The other cast members are forced to take sides in the scandal's aftermath. Tom Schwartz finds himself at odds with the others owing to his relationship with Tom Sandoval.
Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz are still friends following their divorce. Both are back on the dating scene, and the upcoming season might feature a love triangle with both of them involved.
What happened in Vanderpump Rules season 10?
At the end of Vanderpump Rules season 10, Ariana discovered the shocking cheating scandal involving Tom and her friend of nine years, Raquel. The conflict between Tom and Ariana blew out of proportion during the season finale and spilled into the reunion episode.
As the dust began settling down, Ariana went back to working on herself. She recently released her cocktail book and appeared on Dancing With The Stars. She is set to star in a Broadway production, Roxie Hart In Chicago.
Raquel Leviss has since decided not to return to the show. According to Today, Tom Sandoval has revealed the news of his breakup with her.
