“It was, you know, ‘X, Y and Z have to happen.’ Or we’re going to have a short season and the show is going to get canceled and that’s it,” adding, “I think Lala and I felt a lot of pressure after that day when we said, “Well, we don’t do it.” “I want the show to be cancelled.”

Titled ‘VPR Season 11 Final Thoughts’, she talked about fan reaction to the season, hinting that fans might not have had a season 11 without her and Lala Kent.
That conversation led the cast members to go to Tom Sandoval and question his behavior.
That act led to the revelation of his romance with Raquel Leviss, the Scandoval label, and the show’s ratings explosions.
Season 11 began three months after the affair was discovered, and while the entire cast initially took Ariana Madix’s side, as the season progressed, some began to see Sandoval’s side.
The season 11 reunion ended with the cast divided, loyalties tested, and the fate of the show hanging in the balance.
Bravo has put the usual summer filming of Vanderpump Rules on hold for several reasons, including Ariana’s Love Island hosting gig filming in Fiji in the summer.
The producers also wanted to give the cast a break after the breakneck pace of the second half of season 11 and the first half of season 12. TMZ reported.
Lala faces backlash after the season 11 reunion for the way she verbally attacked Ariana.
“Looking at it again and this isn’t me, although people will probably say yes, trying to backtrack or get back 1 percent of the audience. I think I’ve lost who I’ve lost, and maybe there will be a season 12 and people understand me more,” Lala explained on her podcast Give Them Lala.
“But I feel like with Ariana walking away, after filming the reunion and everything, I feel a little different,” he added.
Lala Kent and Scheana Shay set out to save the show after a producer let them know that VPR wasn’t doing well.

“It was a whole season where we felt like we all had to walk on eggshells. “I know Alex Baskin said that halfway through the season the show wasn’t in a good place,” Scheana said.
“It was, you know, ‘X, Y and Z have to happen.’ Or we’re going to have a short season and the show will be canceled and that’s it,” Shay said.
“I think Lala and I felt a lot of pressure after that day where we said, ‘Well, we don’t want the show to be cancelled.’
Lala caused a ruckus at the reunion special and Ariana stormed off the set.
‘Scheana (Shay) told me that shit (about how Tom Sandoval does more for you) off camera. Can we finish? I’m fucking tired,’ Lala said, standing up indignantly.
“It’s not fun for me to look around and I’m the only one who I think has been honest.”
At one point, moderator Andy Cohen showed the cast the final moments of the finale, including Kent accusing castmate Ariana Madix of having an exalted ‘God’ or ‘Beyoncé’ complex due to increased fan support and opportunities. derived from his ‘Scandoval’.
