Raise your glasses high– Vanderpump Rules is returning for its 9th season!
The show’s matriarch, Lisa Vanderpump, dished to US Weekly about the cast and what to expect after last season’s dramatic casting changes.
Expect some familiarity:
In addition to several fan favorites (Tom Sandoval, Ariana Madix, Tom Schwartz, Katie Maloney-Schwartz, Lala Kent, James Kennedy, Raquel Leviss, and VPR‘s OG, Scheana Shay) returning to the show, the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star promised the show “moves very quickly.”
“As always, it’s very well-produced. There’s a lot of great music, there’s a lot of great visuals.”
‘SUR’ving up some SURprises:
According to the restauranteur, the cast member who Lisa thinks will “shake things up the most” this season is Scheana’s fiancé, Brock Davies.
“That whole relationship is a little … eye-opening.”
“This show’s never been for the fainthearted!”
Stories of growth:
After LVP was asked who she thinks has changed the most since the show’s freshman season, the Bravolebrity couldn’t settle on just one cast member.
“I think I’ve seen Ariana grow up. I’ve seen Sandoval.”
I’ve seen a lot of maturity in some of them, for sure, because a lot of them have worked for me for years prior to being on the show. So, just to see them taking chances — I mean, they’ve bought their own houses, they have a modicum of responsibility in having children. So yeah, there’s been quite a lot of growth.”
Schwartz is still Schwartzing:
Sure, Tom Schwartz may be a homeowner now, but his boss doesn’t think he’s evolved too much.
“Schwartz is still very much a puppy dog.”
Let’s just hope Schwartzie isn’t still getting blackout drunk and hooking up with strangers in Vegas.
In case you missed it:
The 9th season of Vanderpump Rules premieres on Bravo Tuesday, September 28, at 9 pm.
