Your 'Vanderpump Rules' Finale Guide

by Kristie Rohwedder

I’m rather fragile right now, for tonight is a bittersweet night. Please bear with me. The second season of my beloved Vanderpump Rules comes to a close Monday. I am excited to watch the episode (come on, I have waited an entire week to find out how the Stassi/Jax/Kristen/Tom Sandoval drama resolves), but I'm struggling with letting myself get lost in my excitement. Because in the back of my mind, I know that once the ep's credits role, it means the beautiful season is over. OVER. What am I going to do? Who am I without my weekly dose of VR?

I anticipate that post-finale, I will feel like a ship without a rudder. VR is indeed my rudder. It propels me. It gives me purpose. It gives me direction. Yes, there are reunion specials to look forward to, but after that? The show is done (okay, it’s not done-done. It’s coming back for a third season. THANK GOODNESS. But like, why can’t it be on year-round?). I don’t know what will become of me between Seasons 2 and 3. I'll probably snap and eat my television set.

Last night's Super Bowl was a big deal for a lot people, but it felt like a warmup for me. Because the Vanderpump Rules finale is my Super Bowl. I've been PREPPING for this hour-long program for months. Inspired by the Super Bowl betting, I’ve drummed up some odds for the VR finale. Did I consult a bookie? Nah. Do I understand statistics or probability? Meh, only sometimes. Have I ever gambled? Nope.

So, does that mean I pulled these these odds out of thin air? NO WAY. Come on. I wouldn’t waste your time with bullshit odds. And I wouldn’t do Vanderpump Rules like that. I take Vanderpump Rules very seriously. These odds should reflect that.
