Move apart, James Kennedy. You’re not the number one guy on this group — as a result of your canine is.
While Vanderpump Rules Season 11 is off to a gradual begin because the forged grapples with the aftermath of Tom Sandoval’s affair with Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, (aka Scandoval), the return of Hippie (previously Graham), has single-handedly breathed new life into the present.
James as soon as owned the lovely Goldendoodle with Rachel, his ex-fiancé. At the top of the Feb. 20 episode, Lisa Vanderpump reunited Hippie with James, after discovering that Rachel gave him as much as a rescue when she entered a psychological well being facility throughout Scandoval. Naturally, he began crying, as most viewers did.
But bringing the canine home was an instantaneous level of competition with James’ girlfriend Ally, who was involved about how Hippie would behave along with her cat, Mr. Banks. She was additionally aggravated that Rachel’s presence nonetheless lingered of their lives due to him. “Last year, I had to deal with her so much, and now she’s gone, and her dog is here,” she stated. “Damn, I can’t really get rid of this girl, can I? She’s just everywhere.”
The subsequent day, Hippie proved he’s actually the highest canine by flying to Lake Tahoe on Vanderpump’s personal jet, whereas his proprietor and the forged needed to board a United flight. (It was too late for James so as to add him onto his aircraft ticket, as per airline guidelines.)
But his impression was felt most when Vanderpump introduced him to the forged’s trip rental. To the dismay of the entire group, they came upon that the canine was not Rachel’s. James and Ally then introduced they have been renaming him Hippie, after his late godfather George Michael’s canine. (Yes, this canine now can declare George Michael as his ancestor.)
Hippie’s arrival stirred up a bit of drama among the many group, with Sandoval claiming that James’ story about Hippie wasn’t precisely correct. For a present whose stars have cheated on one another a number of instances and normally get into one screaming match per episode, Hippie’s return is youngster’s play compared. But maybe that’s the extent of battle viewers want proper now.
Light-hearted drama has fared well with Bravo followers, and whereas it will probably by no means match the depth of Scandoval, it’s considerably refreshing that the recent matter on Pump Rules is only a cute little canine. Plus, it’s nonetheless extra drama than what the precise people have introduced thus far, as they battle to be in the identical room as Sandoval.
Regardless, it’s proof that Hippie is the present MVP of Season 11. Honorable mentions go to Mr. Banks; Ariana Madix’s cat Kitty, who might be extra scarred from Scandoval than all of us; and Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz’s dogs Gordo and Butters, who’re navigating their homeowners’ divorce with poise and charm.
