"I Call It Like I See It" and I see a lot of dumb b*tches on Vanderpump Rules S5E3

Y'all thought it couldn't get grosser than "summer bodies" and "skank whores," well VPR said, "hold my beer." These women are not doing any of us any favors as Katie leans into her hypocrisy, Lala is victim to a lot of nasty accusations and Stassi is "single and lives alone." The Pinot Pod is officially in the city. Emilie will now be applying her expertise to these young, beautiful NYC dwellers as we discuss “in The City” the spin off of the much debated Summer House.  Watch, listen, and find visual aids and poor decisions at @takeapinotpod on Instagram and on YouTube.

Who's been working on their "Summer Bodies" and who hasn't on Vanderpump Rules S5E1

We're here... season 5 is, so far, a wild ride. We went from slut-shaming to fat-shaming, Stassi is back and Katie is still intent on marrying may who hates her. To be fair, she hates him too.
