Andy Cohen brought together Lisa Vanderpump and the rest of the cast of 'Vanderpump Rules' to discuss several serious moments on the 2017 season of the show. Fans of the hit Bravo reality television show know that there is more to the eye. So what is exactly brewing underneath the attitudes of Lisa Vanderpump, Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz at the 2018 reunion of the shows cast members? Will unsaid words at the show's reunion cause Lisa to return to sole ownership of the future Tom Tom restaurant and bar.
The creation of the partnership between Lisa Vanderpump, Tom Sandoval, and Tom Schwarts was a large part of this years season of reality television on Bravo.
Fans tuned in to watch these young men start their journey into the world of real estate and restaurants. Both men learned a lesson about partnership when Tom Sandoval was caught airing his frustrations to his girlfriend at SUR. These junior partners were pushed into the world of business meetings when part of the cast met in Las Vegas, Nevada for a business meeting with Lisa Vanderpump and a future designer for 'Tom Tom'.
While there were some mistakes made by these two men, they proved that they had the maturity to help create a new restaurant during the 2017 - 2018 season of this show. Then why did Lisa Vanderpump dryly throw some shade towards her new business partners by calling them "very junior partners" at the reunion of the cast members?
Though Tom Sandoval tried to sweep the issue under the table by stating that the issue would be handled within the next two weeks, it was Jax Taylor who questioned Lisa about not having everything in writing. Why didn't either of her business partners speaks up for themselves during the show?
Is Lisa Vanderpump hesitant about the professionalism of junior partners of "Tom Tom"?
Both of her partners do have several strikes against them in regards to their real estate partnership with Lisa. Tom and his girlfriend are caught talking about Lisa and her husband in the place that they work. A business venture turns into a night to party in Las Vegas.
Tom Schwartz is acting like he has no clue how a business partner should act when everyone is meeting together. Though is Lisa Vanderpump really giving them the opportunity to mature and become the business partners that she needs. Fans of the show have watched her become very tight-lipped about Tom Tom. Does she feel that since the two men made such a small investment in her eyes that they shouldn't know about the details of their investment?
Does Tom Sandoval have a drinking problem?
After Lisa Vanderpump, Tom Sandoval, Tom Schwartz, and Jax Taylor have their say about the lack of business contracts for Tom Tom, Tom Sandoval is filmed pulling a silver flask out of his shirt pocket and taking a sip.
Is the stress of the reality television show and dealings with the new restaurant causing him to turn to alcohol to deal with the stress? This isn't the first time that Tom Sandoval has been caught drinking during an important time of his life. Let's not forget fans that everyone saw him do it.
Should Lisa have given Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz more credit during the reunion?
Yes, Lisa Vanderpump and her husband have several well-known restaurants on her own but some of the fans believe that the businesswoman and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star need to listen to the words of a partner who is the same age as her future customers. Lisa Vanderpump has two restaurants sitting in the middle of Tri-West.
"Tom Tom" is planned to have a location between West Hollywood and Beverly Hills.
Yes, Lisa Vanderpump looks fabulous for almost being sixty years old but Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwarts may have a better pulse on the clients living near the area. Why? According to City-Data, the average age in the community is 35-40 years old men and women who are not married. So there is definitely an age difference between Lisa and her future clientele. Should Lisa and her husband listen to Tom about the wine cooler? Instead of creating fresh new cocktails, Lisa seems to want to use the new bar to market Vanderpump Rose and other wines that she is working on.
The restaurant is going to be called 'Tom Tom'. Shouldn't Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz obtain a bigger percentage because an amount of the restaurant's popularity will be due to the two men being on 'Vanderpump Rules'?
Fees are saved due to having an in-house mixologist who is also a business partner. Sure one hundred to five hundred dollars per drink recipe is a drop in the bucket for some. Honestly without a Chef dealing with the food and new attractive well-made drinks at the bar, the new restaurant will be just a fancy building.
Should Tom Sandoval be cautious about Lisa Vanderpumps business ethics?
Partnerships with just a handshake rarely go well. Without a contract, there could be future arguments about the name of the restaurant. Issues may arise with the creation of signature drinks for the restaurant. If a contract is not signed, the cocktail book that Ariana Madix is trying to put together could have issues.
Lisa Vanderpump may claim that certain cocktails are stolen from her restaurant if Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz are not partners on a legal binding document. Until that document is created and sign, Lisa Vanderpump has the ability to do what she wants.
So will Lisa Vanderpump finally return the two checks to Tom and Tom during season 7 of Vanderpump Rules? She is under a lot of stress with owning three restaurants, dealing with the death of her fur babies, and the death of her brother. Fans will just have to wait and see. Be sure to watch Bravo Vanderpump Rules Monday Night at 9/8 central.
