Peter Madrigal knows the new cast of Vanderpump Rules โpretty wellโ and promises “a lot of drama” at SUR in the upcoming season.
In an interview with People, SUR‘s manager teased season 12’s group of SURvers and what they will bring to the table.
The VPR 2.0 Crew:
โI know the new cast,” began Peter. “Yeah, I know them pretty well.โ
โThereโs a lot of drama going on at the restaurant … there always is. So, itโs going to be insane. Itโs going to be a little bit intense. Absolutely.โ
Currently, Lisa Vanderpump is the only returning cast member confirmed to return to Pump Rules. In December, she said she had already chosen the servers, hosts, and bartenders who would make up the new cast.ย The selections came after Bravo announced on Nov. 26 that it hadย scrapped the old cast.
LVP toldย Entertainment Tonight, โI have an existing group,โ of staff members. โBut, thereโs always room for people because itโs West Hollywood. Itโs always people coming through the door, โCan I have a job?โโ
When asked if Peter was interested in returning to the show, his response was an enthusiastic yes. โYeah, yeah. Yes. Yeah, all of the above.โ In fact, the restaurant manager claimed onย The Domenick Nati Showย that he would be the only original cast member returning for the reboot besides LVP.
โThe one thatโs still there is yours truly,โ boldly declared Peter.
Peter isn’t afraid to get messy in and out of SUR:
Never forget that Rachel Leviss [then, Raquel] went on a “date” with Peter while she was hiding her affair with Tom Sandoval. Then, the former beauty pageant contestant had the gall to call Peter a “starter pony.”
Peter wasn’t having it. โWho the hell are you to call me a starter pony,โ he questioned before stating, โYouโre a home wrecker.โ
He also included a warning to Tom’s paramour. โRaquel, watch out because, in nine years, Sandoval is probably gonna leave you for someone else.โ
Nine years ended up being less than 9 months, but point taken, Peter.
FYI, SUR’s official Instagram page has been teasing a new cast of VPR since June:
Itโs All Happening for what appears to be the new Vanderpump Rules cast! The official Instagram page for SUR Restaurant and Lounge featured a photo of nine very attractive servers paired with a very telling, yet cryptic, caption.
โComing together is the beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success. โ SURvers โค๏ธ.โ
Pictured areย Kim Suarez,ย Demyana Selem,ย Venus,ย McKenna,ย Ljubisa Djekic,ย Gabrielle Cagan Steele,ย Lou Zapata,ย Nandi Sharma, and a bartender who goes byย @vodka_cranchelli_.ย
Not pictured is Israel Isaac. For the last year (from my experience), Israel has been the face and is the future (imho) of Vanderpump Rules.
Also, Israel hosts all of SUR‘s biggest parties, Halloween/NYE/etc, so if the show is going to be a true representation of SUR, it would only make sense for Israel to be a foundation for the show moving forward … but, like Tamra Judge, that’s my opinion.
