Lisa Vanderpump Breaks Down The Vanderpump Rules Finale: “Kristen Will Always Rub Me The Wrong Way”

Lisa Vanderpump

Am I the only one who hoped that Jax Taylor, as douchey as he is, would have just pummeled James Kennedy on the Vanderpump Rules finale? For the love of SUR, Lisa Vanderpump, please don’t allow that hot mess back in the DJ booth next season!

It’s safe to say that Monday’s episode was deliciously predictable, with Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute crashing Villa Rosa to attend Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz’s engagement party. Jax’s girlfriend Brittany Cartwright proved once again that she has more patience than the entire cast combined (times a million), and Scheana Shay and Adriana Madix are once again biffles…even if their reconciliation was a product of Scheana’s insecurities about being ousted by Stassi. All is right with the world.

Basically recapping clips from the finale in her Bravo blog, Lisa pretty much says everything we were thinking. Watching Jax’s tantrum about feeling smothered by Brittany, Lisa snarks, “What planet is Jax on? Of course it could’ve gone worse. He could’ve been imprisoned. Instead, he’s back in L.A. with his girlfriend. I would say things are going pretty well right now.”

As she witnesses the clip of Stassi and Kristen’s party crashing plans, Lisa quips, “Oh, so the bravado seems to be slowly declining. Just a couple of weeks ago, they were like ‘Oh screw Lisa, we’re just showing up!’ And now they’re like ‘Oo Oo, I wonder if she’ll let us in.’ Yeah, come on,” adding, “Kristen will always rub me up the wrong way, but it’s Katie’s party, so, whatever I feel, I have to put aside.”

Like the rest of the viewers, Lisa cringes at Kristen’s drunken, rambling toast to the happy couple, noting, “Yeah, she won’t just crash the party or walk into a party where she’s not that welcome by me, but she wants to take over the event. She wants to follow me making a speech, by her suddenly becoming the center of attention. That’s what Kristen Doute does. She always wants to be the center of attention. So, she’s not creating a problem, guess what, I’ll make a speech.”

While some of her Real Housewives of Beverly Hills co-stars may think differently, Lisa does have a sensitive side under all her glamorous snark. Viewing the scene where Scheana and Ariana finally make up, Lisa explains, “Scheana didn’t handle everything perfectly this year, but she was open and honest about her relationship. And I think she really would have benefited from having Ariana on her side. So, I think they both made mistakes. I think really Ariana should’ve been Scheana’s biggest support while she’s been struggling with Shay this summer.”

She continues, “When I watched this, I actually had tears in my eyes. Nothing makes me happier than seeing Scheana and Ariana reconcile right now. They found their way back to each other and I’m really happy about that.”

Neglecting to comment on James’ decision to celebrate his hiatus from drinking by getting high as shiz, Lisa does address his atrocious behavior at the after-party. She notes, “James is absolutely salivating over the fact that, really, Jax is kind of confined by the probation. James is goading him. It’s like a matador with a bull, kind of waving the thing, ‘come on bro, come on’ because he knows that if Jax puts one foot wrong, he’s in deep trouble.”

Lisa reminds us that while VR is highly entertaining, it’s also based (partly at least) in reality. She asserts, “Some of these kids have been incredibly vulnerable, they’ve been very open with their lives. So, it’s easy to sit back and to judge them, but they’re brave enough to have actually opened the doors to let us all in, including myself. And for that, I do commend them,” concluding, “Thank you for watching the season, it’s been a long and, as I say, a tumultuous season, an arduous season. Full of laughter and giggles, but also a lot of tears. I hope you’ve enjoyed it and as much as we’ve enjoyed making it. Thank you.”

I, for one, cannot wait for the Vanderpump Rules reunion!
