On last night’s Vanderpump Rules, Stassi and Beau blow up over her past fears, Lala refuses to apologize for her bad behavior, and we finally get to see wasted Ariana.

Previously on Vanderpump Rules, TomToms finally had its grand opening, sans James. After the bar opened, the gang took a deserved (kind of) vacation to Mexico where James and Katie started fighting over his neglect of her during the opening of the new bar.

11. Lala (last week’s ranking: 12)

Lala tells us that, unlike their wine trip, she is going to be getting lit during this trip. She admits that she was struggling with her dad’s death but now she’s fine and ready to party. Famous last words.

When Ariana later pulls Lala aside to let her know that she (Ariana) is concerned by how Lala was acting at her place of work towards James and Billie, Lala is completely defiant. She pulls the move that all jerks pull, which is to say “if someone’s coming after me I’m not going to just back down.” Because, of course, there is no middle ground between taking verbal abuse and calling someone dumb and ugly.

Lala ends the discussion by saying she’s “not sorry” for what she said. Then, immediately, in the confession, she pulls the dad card again.

The crew goes out in Mexico where Lala says she is prepared to go HAM. She gets the girls up there dancing to her song, which she requested the DJ to play, saying that this vacation they’ll have good music, unlike last year when James was DJing. Having heard Lala’s song, I’d say that the good music started once Lala left the building.
