Why Vanderpump Rules Should Be Replaced By Rumored Vanderpump Valley
A Vanderpump Rules spinoff called Vanderpump Valley may be on the horizon, according to Bravo king, Andy Cohen. It is rumored to feature older stars.
There are rumors that Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules will be replaced by a new spinoff show called Vanderpump Valley, and this possible spinoff may just be what is needed to revive the struggling series. Vanderpump Rules has been slowly losing viewers over the past few seasons. Many fans think that the show, which was centered around Lisa Vanderpump’s restaurant SUR, isn’t what it used to be. A lot of the main stars no longer work at SUR and have gone on to get married and have kids. Fans also lost interest after the main VPR troublemakers (Stassi Schroeder, Jax Taylor, and Kristen Doute) left the show following season 8.
After many of the Vanderpump Rules fan favorites left, the reality show centered around Tom Sandoval, Tom Schwartz, Katie Maloney, Lala Kent, Scheana Shay, Raquel Leviss, and James Kennedy. Many fans thought that season 9’s storylines were boring and forced. VPR's two Toms opening a bar together felt redone, and Lala stirring up drama with Scheana and her now-fiance Brock Davies seemed contrived for television. Following the end of season 9, there were rumors that Vanderpump Rules had finally run its course, since fans didn't seem to be vibing with the premise of the show anymore.
There has been a lot of talk surrounding Vanderpump Rules and whether there will be a season 10, but it looks as if a spinoff might be in the works. Lala, who was recently on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, was introduced by Andy Cohen as the possible star of Vanderpump Valley. The word is that the spinoff show will star Lala, along with Stassi, her husband Beau Clark, and their daughter, Hartford. Brittany Taylor and Jax (along with their son Cruz) and Scheana and Brock (and their daughter Summer) may also be in the cast. A Vanderpump Rules spinoff featuring the lives of the viewers’ favorite stars will make much more sense to the fans who have been following their lives since they were young servers and bartenders.
Plenty of Vanderpump Rules fans have grown up along with Lala, Stassi, Brittany, Jax, and Scheana, and they don’t really relate to the younger stars like Charli Burnett. The old Vanderpump Rules crew also moved away from working with Lisa Vanderpump, and all have their own businesses and ventures going on. Lala is trying to grow her Give Them Lala empire and is focusing on providing for her daughter, Ocean after her breakup with former fiance, Randall Emmett. Stassi has shared that her second book Off with My Head: The Definitive Basic B*tch Handbook to Surviving Rock Bottom will be hitting shelves on April 26.
During the Vanderpump Rules season 9 reunion, Raquel shocked her VPR cast members when she gave her engagement ring back to James, and the two announced their split after five years together. A few months later, Katie and Tom S. told fans that they were separating as well, and Katie has since filed for divorce. Fans of Vanderpump Rules wondered how the two big breakups would affect the dynamic of the cast, so the possible new spinoff Vanderpump Valley could be the answer to presenting a fresh take on their new lives.
