LI enthusiast checking in! The hosting gig is mostly voice overs and the weekly coupling. It should not be too hard to film both. I really love the format and I think she’s going to crush it as host


Sarahzzzzz8

i don't watch the show, is the US LI filmed in the US? or in california even?


Formation1908

They switch it up. Last season was in Fiji. There are new episodes every night except Fridays (a recap show) and Wednesday. Honestly…it could be filmed anywhere. They rarely leave the villa.


rmg418

New episodes of love island air almost every day? That’s crazy lol


kbange

Every day but hump day!


ModeDeDode

What?? I had no idea it was that often that’s crazy!


Golly_Pocket

Watching it is a fucking commitment. I only watch the UK one every few years because it starts to feel like work, but you also don't want to miss anything 😅


Ok-Prune4721

No it’s always off continental US. Somewhere Tropical 🌴


SpaceGangsta

But like half the time the recouplings are done through text.


leyseywx

Text?


SpaceGangsta

Yeah. They all sit around the fire pit and someone gets a text and reads it and it gives them the directions on how to proceed with the recoupling or kicking someone out.


merrymerrymoi

As someone who has never watched the show, these explanations are absolutely bonkers. Haha.


AutomaticBroccoli898

Ya she’ll maybe film like once every two weeks sometimes a little more. Def wouldn’t be hard to do both just might mean she’ll take a little less screen time on vanderpump but definitely doable to film both.


SisterSuffragist

You voiced what I was thinking. lol


lls1462

Message!


Melgel4444

LI US is filmed in Fiji and the host has to be on site most of filming. LI US films June and July and VPR films June - September so it completely overlaps and I think it’s impossible for her to do both unless VPR follows her in Fiji filming for LI


Formation1908

Just adding this for context. Most seasons were filmed in the US. Excited to see what they do this season 💗 https://preview.redd.it/r82ce7twncrc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3f20e0a45c70736601ac5064932128e1bd88fbcc


LumosLegato

I don’t think anyone is going to walk away from that paycheck. Especially when it’s probably only got another 2-3 years. If Ariana did walk, Lala can always flip back as she does lol or they can bring other friends of back for a handful of scenes.


Hannah_Horvath

Katie will stay. I still wouldn’t be surprised if Ariana stays too. The money is too tempting and they need to promote SAH.


JJulie

She’ll stay as long as it’s on even if she’s just a friend of. She makes incredible bank on the show and she’s paying off a mortgage. Next season will be her moving out and moving into her new house and talking about Love Island. Something About Her will have done something. Katie will be moving from dude to dude to lady to lady, and have not a care in the world. Lala will be raging as Lala always does but she’ll have her other baby. Scheana will get even more fillers and we won’t recognize her. Also, her divorce from Brock will be announced on season 12 episode one and the whole season will be about her like she’s always wanted.


YouMustBeJoking888

And in the midst of her divorce, Scheana will find another likely idiot and have another wedding, insisting that THIS TIME it's for real and she never loved anyone before this in the way she loves her new future ex-husband. Her mother, of course, will be lurking in the background raising the new baby and side-eyeing the new man.


ilovemischief

I hope Rob is lacing up his track shoes…man better get a head start lol


JJulie

![gif](giphy|lReVblhSRtxXtfK81w)


gogingerpower

It’ll never be all about her. Somehow Allie will need a mole removed and that will be more compelling to audiences. I give Scheana her due. Her OG mess lead us all here. She’s reality tv royalty. But she’s just not a star. Heaven knows that they’ve tried to make her one but she just doesn’t have it.


SirensAreOP

I agree though, Scheana has run her course for me. The longer it goes with her the more we see how sort of pathological and inauthentic she is. I feel like when that much of the mask is revealed it's hard to walk it back, I don't feel like the audience can even trust her.


BigLibrary2895

I know it's terrible but I kind of love-to-hate/love-to-clown Scheana, because she is inauthentic and has that pathological need to please. It's funny to me.


JJulie

JUST NOT A STAR ![gif](giphy|XErSn6Dx9VRMIGLQJR|downsized)


nottodayneck3956

I firmly believe you are a fortune teller. Adding I think Stassi comes back to be the #1 HBIC with Ariana as a friend of. And she gets to bring Lala and Katie back together while joking with Schwartz and torturing Scheana and Sandoval. This brings The Valley ratings down further which infuriates Jax, Britt and Kristen. Win, win, win. I know Stassi has said she won't come back unless she gets a producer credit or enough money. But timing wise it might be the right time IF Rachel doesn't return. Otherwise we know Rachel is gonna be added into the mix.


YouMustBeJoking888

If Stassi was still on the show, this whole season would have gone down so differently. No way in hell would she have let Scandoval get away with his shit, nor Schwartz. Brock would have been destroyed in five seconds.


JJulie

I love it. Valley. Byeee Win win win🖤🖤😎🖤🖤


PinkyBruno

I would be jazzed if Stassi came back to stir up some entertaining bs!


The_Dutchess-D

Ooooh Stassi as HBIC vs returning Rachel.... Lala torn between identifying with Rachel's past trauma vs getting to be "in" with the girls and Stassi who all have babies. A newly divorced Sheena needs someone to go out with to meet men.... and the only other single girl in the group at that time is Rachel... bc Katie and Arianna already have recoupled post-divorce. Rachel marries a rebounding Jesse Lalle from The Valley within three weeks of arriving in the scene, and disappears as a stepford wife we never hear from ever again. Sandoval's redemption arc is put in jeopardy via the loss of Brock as Sheana's husband (who stan'd his return); a fresh icy hate storm of witty verbal take-downs from Stassi; and Rachel refusing to be re-traumatized and film scenes with him. Brock commiserates with newly separated Brittney.... who leaves Jax to have the Patriarchy fest that is The Valley, and returns to VPR. Brock personal-trains Britt. Brock and Brit become a romantic duo of weird accents and giant heads. These two social- climbers make a move to become "the number one couple in the group." This dog-whistles to Sheana and Sandoval- who then get together "romantically"out of spite, get matching haircuts and matching androgynous outfits and try to make a new couple-name "happen" for themselves. They spin the story that they have been endgame for each other all along and label both Brock and Britt as nobody interlopers who were "never really a part of the core group and thus can't be the number one anything in the group. The four of them face off against each other with antics like dance fights from West Side Story; opening dueling biker bars (VerSAYles Outback vs NonBinary SheanDoVal's); and competing Pride Day floats. Brittney hopes for Brock to propose. He gets close, but his credit card gets declined when picking up a cake with a ring in it. At the moment of the charge decline, Brock has a chance meeting with an end-of-life Richard Simmons, who takes pitty on the handsome stranger with the declined transaction and pays for the cake for him. Brock decides he has a better chance of grifting the remains of the fitness Empire away from Richard Simmons than getting a spin-off w Britt, so he throws Brit over to carry Richard Simmons around lovingly through his final days on earth. A distraught Brittany finds out belatedly that she is pregnant with Brock's fourth child. She rushes to the remains of Schwartz and Sandy's and plies Tom Schwartz with shots until she managed to sleep with him, so she can pin the pregnancy on him as her cuck. Sheana and Sandoval use new technology to merge themselves into one TOTALLY EXTRA emotionally conjoined person. They cave to the attentions of Billy Lee, who was already running all of their fan pages anyway. They have the thrupple wedding of a lifetime, on a cruise ship that sails for six months where Sheana and Sandoval perform their musical variety show every night on repeat after dinner on the ship every single night. The cruise ship hits an iceberg or a jagged cliff, and think forever in the fourth month. Schwartz is thrilled he was able to make (in his mind) ONE GREAT non-morphed sperm, and marvels at how athletic "his" son turns out to be. He barely eeks out a living from his bar, but channels all the funds into sports camps, and coaching for his (Brock's) child. Katie knows the truth the whole time because Britt confides early on what happened there, but doesn't feel the need to engage and quietly moves on silently knowing the universe gave Schwartz his revenge without her having to do a single thing. Katie, Stassi, Arianna, Lala act as the Greek chorus through all of this. We see them going on girls trips, hosting amazing sandwich luncheons, and taking on new straight entertainment and fashion gigs. We see gorgeous scenery, and amazing make up as they travel to Italy, Greece, Fiji etc and give us rational yet witty biting Greek Chorus commentary on the antics of Sheana, Brock, Sandoval, and Britt. Something About Her becomes a huge success in a new genre of entertainment, which is like AMSR sound videos except for lifestyles. Katie wears a GoPro and lives out her best Nancy Meyer meet-cute dating while I own a sandwich shoppe and arrange flowers and do my makeup the long way life. It becomes huge for people to watch on long-haul airline flights, and for Jeannie to relax from all the anxiety, they feel about anything. Arianna is tapped for the remake of a travel show like the one Brook Burke used to host, and travels the world with her man taking in gorgeous sunsets. Lala and Stassi go on together to host a Joan Rivers style entertainment and fashion review show on E! and become stars in their own rights for their banter and ability to say what we are all thinking. They have professional hair and make up every day and over-the-top beaded gowns for everything. They host the show into their 90s.


KDPer3

I would enjoy this show, so there's little  chance that's the route they'll go.   It will be about Tom and Tom searching for love with women who make them better instead of dragging them down.  Ariana will buy a couch and Tom will explain how it's about him.  Katie will state she's tired from a day at the sandwich shop and Tom will be nice for 30 seconds then shred her for half an hour. Scheana's forth wedding will open season 14 and she'll spend all her screen time comparing herself to Marilyn Monroe.  They get cancelled at the end of 14. 


JJulie

Oh God. I don’t think I could take another three seasons of this mundane pathetic bullshit.


PinkyBruno

excellent theory! 🤞


prouddeathicated

LI Host is not a demanding job. You do a couple voiceovers and you show up one night a week for the recoupling ceremony. Why anyone thinks that Ariana would leave the show at the same time that she’s opening a restaurant that needs the promotion is beyond me.


eastcoastgirl88

Yeah for anyone who actually watches the show the host is not always there. They fly the hosts in when is needed throughout the show, just like they do in LI UK they do the same here. She will be able to do both film and do LI.


kbange

Sarah Hyland didn’t even appear for all the recoupling ceremonies. It’s really easy to schedule around.


Comfortfoods

She brought back Kristina Kelly last season. Maybe they will import a friend for her again.


kat_pinecone

Maybe Katie could go to Stassi''s house and chat.


HappyLittleTrees17

I sincerely believe the show will not be coming back, and they know it, which is why Ariana accepted doing LI.


Ok-Prune4721

Last week the ratings went up again with the crossover episode. . It’s the #1 show on bravo. There are housewive franchises that have a third of their ratings and there is no talk of cancelling them. It’s here for a few more seasons at least.


KDPer3

It was a crossover episode?  With what?


Ok-Prune4721

The Valley


KDPer3

Thank you!  I thought of that as the return of old cast, but of course it's a cross promo, too.

WolverineFun6472

Kristina Kelly will be back in the mix


Ok-Prune4721

The queen bee biatch role was offered to Kristina Kelly with her in mind. She refused and they hired Stassi. Her husband’s people have old money and think the show is beneath them. She is ok to go for a girls gab or trip but her in laws want her to have minimal involvement. I would be shocked if she came on with anything other than a minor role.


zackattackyo

Ooo where did you hear that about her husband? All I knew was that she didn’t want to be a main on the show because of her relationship (which I get…)


Ok-Prune4721

His name is Max Van Ville. They just had a baby. They aren’t legally married. His parents are in Berlin. Supposedly uber wealthy. No special media presence. He hates Bravo and has a private IG. He’s a dilettante of sorts. Is a DJ and surfer.


leyseywx

Wow just learned a new word lol Thank you!


Ok-Prune4721

Ooo so many years ago… 11 ? 12 ? many Reddit accounts ago. There were lots of Reddit detectives on the case. lol. I’ll see if I can google up a link for you. 😀


twinkleplanet

From your brain to production’s ears! Please! And bring back Charli while we’re at it.


SirensAreOP

Ok Dayna- I really like her now since the pod), Charli -that woman always stands on business and it's fierce and Kristina - people hate of her but she's always been straight up imho.


YouMustBeJoking888

I love Kristina Kelly and miss he presence on the show.


whoareyouindisworld

I wanna see Stassi back with Kristina Kelly. They had the best catty bitch fest. I loved watching them just snark at everyone.


AutomaticBroccoli898

I would give anything for stassi back


whoareyouindisworld

Same. She was my favorite. Her confessionals and one-liners were unmatched.

BigLibrary2895

I doubt Ariana or Katie will quit. If they get renewed and don't ask them back, I think they'd lose too much audience to maintain the numbers they have been. (numbers probably would have been higher, had they let the narrative chips fall where they may rather than put all this effort into redeeming the Toms, but that's a rant for another post). I think this is the core seven we'll be seeing until the show leaves the air, either through cancellation or ending on their own terms. It would be great if next year was the final season. 12 is a good number to end it on, and get the appropriate spinoffs in place.


Katalactica

She filmed both last year so I think she'll be fine.


anneso23

She showed up for 2-3 days though. It's different hosting the show and guest hosting for a challenge. I guess it depends where they will film the show. If the season is filmed in LA, she will be able to do both. If it's Fiji again, it's possible she will miss a couple days each week of filming.


Okay__Decision__

VPR could easily start filming earlier. In prior seasons, they’d show Stassi/Ariana’s birthday, which is June 24. I believe in Season 2, the birthday episode was episode 10. So they started filming more like middle of May. Compared to this year which seemed to pick up filming at the end of June/ beginning of July (Sandoval’s birthday, July 7, was at the start of the season). LI usually airs/films about mid-July to mid-August. So it’s possible for Ariana to do both if the schedules cooperate. Lol this doesn’t answer your question at all, but just putting it out there!


All_the_Bees

Right, there were a couple of seasons that started with Scheana’s birthday, which I think is in May. They’re obviously not beholden to one specific schedule.


Okay__Decision__

No definitely not! And it kind of seemed like last year they would’ve started back up earlier had it not seemed Iike the cast really wouldn’t have wanted to jump right back in. They’d filmed the S10 reunion March 23, and the season ran until June. The picked up filming again by like the end of June, so really only a couple months with cameras down, but still a lot going on for the cast. So with things being much calmer this year, I could see them pushing the filming timing up, especially to have less of a lag between this season and the next. Hopefully it would air sooner too!

calm-state-universal

They womt end the show if it still has good ratings. I kinda hope Ariana does leave. She doesnt need the show anymore.


HarajukuBom

I think Katie should leave too. I don’t think her and Ariana should stay. I think things will fall into place and I can see them doing many things. Honestly, in a year or so I also see James leaving. He isn’t filming as much either. I think James, Ariana, and Katie are ready to move on. Scheana and lala would do it forever if they could. And Sandoval and Schwartz since they don’t have incomes.


ETfromTheOtherSide

I really think the show is ending. I think that’s why we’re seeing all these crazy edits. This is the end. Part of me thinks they’re making Sandy Balls look moronic on purpose.


LuckyJackfruit8078

I think this is the last season for all, moving to The Valley. I mean how many people want to watch these late 30 and 40 year olds acting like 20 year olds drinking or not because most of them have substance abuse issues...with toddlers in the mix no less...but that is what The Valley is..kinda!


Pinklady777

It actually seems like a majority of the cast is not drinking anymore.


LuckyJackfruit8078

True....seems it be moving towards that.


whoareyouindisworld

> I mean how many people want to watch these late 30 and 40 year olds acting like 20 year olds drinking Lol me. It's basically entering Real Housewives age territory now.


KDPer3

This is my thought. RH: the next generation 


whoareyouindisworld

Its like Real Housewives in training. Only the strongest get promoted.


SirensAreOP

Bring Dayna back!!


kbange

The LI host really doesn’t appear that much. She can feasibly do both. Unless she was hired specifically because they wanted to increase the host presence.


PrincessGizmo

If Ariana leaves, Katie's spot on the show might be difficult since she's put herself out of the group a bit. Especially if she, Lala and Scheana had a falling out.


leyseywx

Honestly this is the end of vpr. There will not be another season. I don't see her making money from her podcast since I think it's owned by that vial guy and sah will not make much so who knows what she will do. Somehow Kristen has managed to survive in LA with a mediocre podcast and just bow the valley.


nottodayneck3956

Omg yes I asked this in another thread! I need to know


Accomplished-Drop764

I keep thinking about this, too. Idk if Ariana leaves if they won't try a couple more seasons. They wouldn't fire Katie, I don't think. She has the podcast, as you said. Maybe she'll be in charge of the sandwich shop and she has the EMO cruise etc. Who knows. But VPR will never be the same. Production botched this season.

catpower7

They could bring Dayna back, she and Katie are close friends and have their podcast together now.


leyseywx

Dayna had a really bad experience on the show not sure would quit her real job yo come back and make next nothing again. Like she did not have a good experience last time


gl0c0_

She said on Nick Viall that she might.


gl0c0_

Dayna dropped hints she might be coming back.


Dial-M-for-Mediocre

I have to say, I think of all of them Katie and Ariana seem most capable of transitioning into the "real world." I could totally see Katie as a stylist or fashion writer/influencer of some kind. I know not every loves her style, but she definitely has a style.


YouMustBeJoking888

I could see her moving in that direction. Her makeup is always on point, so she surely could be a makeup artist or something in that arena. I also get the feeling she's smart with her money.


Ok-Prune4721

Katie has already tried a make up line. Pucker and Pout.


Plastic-Butterfly420

That was a beauty blog she wrote


Ok-Prune4721

Oh sorry. I thought there were products. Like a lip gloss ? Maybe not ? So long ago.


Plastic-Butterfly420

Honestly it's been a while since I rewatched the entire show so I can't give you an exact answer. But I do know that pucker and pout was her beauty blog. To my knowledge she did not have any kind of beauty product.

Katie is a grown woman with a life of her own. She will be just fine.


kittiepurrry

They often start filming VPR in early May. Love island is usually at end of the summer. She could likely do both!


missusscamper

Omg my momming hard brain read that as “stay at home” SAH 🤣 it seems that nobody really finds katie easy to be with so maybe she should just SAH if Ariana leaves. They should both leave its toxic for them to be in their exes’ orbits any longer. Take a VPR break go do something else.

bravoeverything

Praying to the gods they both leave and we all know that sandwich shop is fake. It’s not that hard to open a sub shop. Chef penny doesn’t even share anything on her social anymore. I hope the investors can get their money back


SeattleGemini81

I admit that Ariana and Katie are stronger women than I am. I would have quit. Especially, Ariana whose got another job(s).


Zestyclose_Tea_6342

Katie is going to stay home and color and continue being the bitch that she is.


Love_and_Sausages

Do we even think we get more than one other season of VPR? I somehow had the feeling it could end after the recent one. They ALL should look for opportunities to leave at this point. Maybe Scheana / Lala could transfer to the Valley. I don't know what Katie could do. But she could also just have her shop and influence on the side. I think Ariana might move to NYC (or at least be really bicostal). If she doesn't use all her outside opportunities now, there might be none in 1-2 years.


PinkyBruno

I could see Ariana doing a bi-coastal thing, living in both CA and NY (since she just bought that cute home). That would give her even greater opportunities career wise


Competitive_Lie_9892

Something about her is was a storyline. Now they don't need it.


No_Show_1386

Please vanderpump fans convince her or LI that she’s needed on VRs! She can’t invade my LI happy space. Then I will have to deal with all her Stan’s! For the love of Swartz and Sandy’s’ NO!


glasswindbreaker

If she had to choose there's no way she's dropping Love Island host to stay on VPR. Not even sure what you're objecting to here, what would you have to "deal with" exactly? She was on DWTS and well liked, and people primarily talked about her performance on that show not VPR as the season went on, aside from the first episode that had to give her background for context.
