Our reality tv historian, Annie Sieg, joins the show today to talk about the flop that was Vanderpump Rules season 11. It didn’t take us long to realize that this season would not be delivering us the girl power season of our dreams were we abandoned trying to see Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz as good people who deserve audiences. Instead, we were delivered a season of any type of misogyny you could see in your everyday life. We had women be expected to the do the emotional and mental labor to make men feel better about their actions. It was a season where women spent more time disrespecting one another’s boundaries then lending a helping hand. And it was worst of all, a season that tried to center and put on a pedestal the very men who were hurting the women of the series. We wanted better, Bravo. At least Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney were there to show us how our boundaries are important, we are allowed to be honest about the way we’ve been hurt, and we don’t need to live our lives in the name of hoping the men around us like us.
