Season 2 of Vanderpump Villa has no shortage of romance. After all, living in a 12th-century Italian castle for the summer sounds like an environment dripping with romance. Just add in 17 other staff members that you need to live and work with daily. I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
Thankfully, Lisa Vanderpump knows all about workplace hook-ups and romances from a little show called Vanderpump Rules. After all, she invited Pump Rules alum Stassi Schroeder to stay at Castello Rosato for the summer with her husband and two children. As you may recall, Stassi once worked (and I use that term loosely) at Lisa’s restaurant, SUR. She was also involved in a toxic romance with Jax Taylor, which fueled the first two seasons of VPR.
Well, there was no shortage of Vanderpump Villa couples in the castle this season. Of course, some of these duos were just brief summer flings or hook-ups. However, some other couples had relationship patterns that screamed red flag warning. So, which Vanderpump Villa Season 2 couple was the most toxic? Let’s find out!
Vanderpump Villa couple Grace Cottrell and Dominic DeAngelis
Housekeeper Grace Cottrell hit it off with Season 2 newbie, Dominic DeAngelis. The hard-working cook caught Grace’s eye. There was a bit of a slow burn, but Grace finally decided to make her move.
It was Dom’s birthday, and she asked his fellow cook, Ashley Angel, to help prepare a birthday surprise for him. Of course, Grace’s friend and fellow housekeeper Hagen Bach also helped out.
Ashley set up some drinks, treats, and candles by the pool for the couple. They are both slightly awkward, which is something that they enjoyed about each other. Then Grace and Dom sealed the evening with a kiss.
However, Ashley later saw Dom massaging server Alyssa Johnston’s feet. He confided in Ashley that he likes Alyssa and thinks they are “similar.” I’m not sure how, but okay. Worse yet, he could picture marrying someone like Alyssa. As for Grace? He feels like she is too young.
Well, Ashley felt awful. She told Alyssa and bartender Lexee Berdiago that Dom was no longer into Grace. So, Lexee talked with Grace, who was shocked. She was hurt and felt like a fool.
So, Grace tried to talk with Dominic, which only showed her that the universe works out for the best sometimes. He confessed that he had dreamt about Alyssa for four nights, which was news to Grace. She didn’t want another fixer-upper, so she was done with the cook and his shady ways.
However, Grace snagged handsome new server Tyler “TJ” Grawn. She took it slower, and they genuinely liked spending time together. When someone asked TJ if he had any action since being at the castle, Grace quipped, “TJ’s hot and I’m single.” Boom!
Lexee Berdiago and Tyler Agajan
Lexee, a bartender, and activities coordinator Tyler Agajan were both newbies for Season 2 of Vanderpump Villa. From the jump, they both liked each other. However, Lexee has been hurt before and has been cheated on in the past. Still, while this duo was a super cute couple, there were red flags everywhere!
During a game of truth or dare with the guests, one female guest picked a staff member to kiss. Of course, she kissed Tyler. And when Lexee found out, she cried before the fury set in. Later, Tyler found his toothbrush and boxers in the hall. Oof.
Naturally, Lexee didn’t want to take Tyler back, but she eventually forgave him after he swore not to kiss anyone again. So, guess what? This time, it was Lexee’s turn to break her own rule. Not only did she flirt with a male guest, but she also made out with Stassi’s sister, Georgi. According to Lexee, she was annoyed because Tyler was acting insecure. As for Tyler? Watching Lexee flirt killed all his feelings for her. Right…
The next time that they spoke, Tyler wanted to try and make things work. However, Lexee had a different take. “We’re not good for each other,” Lexee announced, blindsiding Tyler. However, the former couple couldn’t deny their deep connection and stayed besties. And then more. But during the final day at the castle, Lexee felt a certain way because Tyler was hanging around the new server, Sheribel. Ah, jealousy.
After the final dinner, Lexee was dancing and straddling a male staff member. Tyler was disgusted and saw Sher in the bathroom, which was off-camera. Thankfully, everyone had their mics on. After Tyler told Sher that Lexee’s behavior turned him off, Lexee entered the bathroom. “Hilarious! Don’t ever speak to me again, you f*cking goddamn loser,” Lexee told Tyler. I guess these two are dunzo.
Sianna Renee and Siadi were the most toxic Vanderpump Villa couple
Sianna Renee, one of the event coordinators, ended up sharing a room with Siadi on night one. At first, it seemed like they might be a good pair. Unfortunately, it only took days for the couple to start screaming at each other. This was the most toxic pairing at Castello Rosato.
When Sianna would stand her ground or try to talk things out, Siadi would either shut her down or avoid her altogether. And he gaslit Sianna constantly.
At first, the staff tried to support Sianna when she looked for a shoulder to cry on. But after she repeatedly ended up back with Siadi, they quickly tired of the drama. Plus, Siadi’s condescending attitude toward his co-workers, including Sianna, didn’t help. Even Lisa was pulled into the mix when she had to speak with Sianna about making a mistake.
Poor Sianna started sobbing while Lisa held her. The restaurateur told Sianna that she didn’t deserve to be an emotional wreck and urged her to end it with Siadi. Sianna did and moved out of his room. However, it wasn’t long before Siadi convinced her to take him back.
Meanwhile, the quality of Sianna’s work at the castle declined. The once-happy, charming woman was sad and preoccupied. After a guest complaint, Lisa was done. She had to let Sianna go. In her confessional, Lisa said, “I feel sorry for Sianna. Sianna’s in a totally dysfunctional relationship, and I don’t want to see that.”
After Sianna left, when his buddies went to comfort him, Siadi remarked, “I don’t give a damn, like bro. I really don’t.” Yikes!
Well, the joke was on Siadi because after a night of inappropriate behavior directed at the guests, Lisa fired him. The way that Siadi treated Sianna was difficult to watch, and I wish that he had been fired first.
Vanderpump Villa is available to stream on Peacock. The series streams on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
