‘Pump Rules’ Producer Hints Reunion ‘Twist’ Will Leave ‘Heads Spinning’

Buckle up, Bravo fans! The bombshell season 10 reunion download Vanderpump Rules may be coming to an end, but there are many more revelations to be made Tom Sandoval And Rachel Levissaffair.

Producer Alex Baskin continued to tease the long-awaited third part of the reunion – which will air on Wednesday, June 7 – during an interview with The Hollywood Reporterin an attempt to shed more light on the previously revealed “twist” at the end of the reunion.

“You can learn a lot,” Baskin told the outlet on Tuesday, June 6. “What made this reunion different from all the others was that as a production we had no idea what was going to happen. Usually we do have some sense. There is great anticipation for Raquel to come out [in part 3]. I will say that no matter what anyone thinks of what she’s been up to this past season, it was brave of her to face the music knowing that everyone’s going full throttle.

Baskin hinted that the reunion ending is “the perfect conclusion to a season like no other” — and that viewers may not be ready for what’s to come. According to the exec, “yet another development” was discovered “a few days” after the reunion filming wrapped.

“I’ll just say this isn’t a show where the group gets together to do a recap of the garden, or, in this case, just Raquel apologizing Ariana [Madix],” he said. “There are revelations and developments that even make our heads spin. … The timeline is evolving.”

Even the rest of the cast — including Ariana, 37, Katie Maloney, Lala knows, Tom Schwartz and more – will be thrown by the big reveal. “It is not something the group witnessed at the time. So I guess they’re going to have to react to it when they see it,” Baskin teased.

Season 10 of Bravo wrapped up filming last fall, but cameras picked up again in March after news broke that Sandoval, 40, and Ariana called it quits after nearly a decade of dating over his months-long fling with Raquel, 28. The aftermath of the cheating scandal was explored during the emotional season finale, which aired May 17.

“I regret every moment I stood up for you, defended you, supported you,” Ariana told her ex on camera. “You are worth nothing and I want you to feel that deep in your soul. I want you to hear those words from the mouth of the woman who stood next to you and loved you and was ready to build the rest of my life around you. Hear my words and know that this is how I feel about you. I’m sorry I ever loved you.’

Sandoval, meanwhile, claimed that he and the Florida native “grew apart” over time, keeping their relationship’s “problems” out of the public eye.

As the reunion kicked off, fans saw Sandoval face off against his fellow players for the first time since the scandal hit the headlines. During Part 1, Schwartz revealed when he first learned of the affair.

“[Tom] told me that day [at the end of August 2022] about the one night stand. And then everything went back to normal,” the Minnesota resident shared. “Without a doubt, they spent an inappropriate amount of time together during the fall leading up to the new year. F—k yes they did.”

Andy Cohen conducted one-on-one interviews with Scandoval’s three key players — Ariana, Raquel, and Sandoval — but only snippets of the sit-downs have aired so far. Some fans have theorized that the surprise will be revealed during one of the interviews.

Baskin previously told Variety that production for season 11 is on hiatus as the cast braces for the new reveal, pointing out last month that some Pump rules stars may not want to return in the aftermath of the twist. However, Brock Davies told exclusively Us weekly that only one thing would prevent someone from getting in front of the cameras again.

“I mean, yes, if they don’t pay them correctly, but I have no idea,” Scheana Shaytold the man Us on Friday, June 2. “That’s not my world, to be honest. I learned very quickly after season 9. I think my best place is next to Scheana, not in front of her. [but] by her side and [supporting] her. … They are friends after all [for] 15 years, so they’re just gonna support each other and they just made the most iconic TV show because they’re so real and they’re vulnerable and they’re open.
