How To Catch 'Vanderpump' Online & On-Demand

by Allison Piwowarski

Are you freaking out right now because you have no idea how you are going to watch the Season 3 premiere of Vanderpump Rules? Well, fear not, because watching the premiere of what is bound to be a very dramatic season of the show is actually easier than ever. Thanks to it being 2014, finding a way to watch Vanderpump Rules online or on-demand is super quick, and will save you from being left out of conversations about Jax being terrible when all of your friends are talking about it over the course of the next few days.

Whatever the reason is that you’re not watching Vanderpump Rules exactly when it airs Monday — maybe your DVR has betrayed you once again and didn’t record it, or you just couldn’t decide which shows made the cut for the 9 o’clock hour on the limited recording space you do have — whatever it may be, fear not, because you will know where Vanderpump Rules stars Scheana and Stassi stand in the premiere of Season 3, and you will have an opinion on it.

So whether you’re going to a posh restaurant like SUR, or can’t watch it live because you’ve got plans to give back to society — in which that case, you are better than me — here are your best chances at watching Vanderpump Rules online or on-demand.

Watch it online, and tweet away

Look, I’ll be the one to call Bravo out. They really blow at putting up new episodes on their site. They’re really good at putting up clips on the site, but I don’t want to watch a two minute clip of Lisa reprimanding Jax for texting on the job, I want to watch the whole damn episode! Do you hear me Andy Cohen!? Anyway, so while it would be worth doing a quick peek at the Bravotv.com site for the new season premiere, don’t get your hopes up. Instead, I’d venture on over to Hulu, which is probably your best bet for finding the new episode the next day. Hulu currently has all of the old episodes, as well, so feel free to stay a while.

Use What You Pay For: On-Demand

Most cable services have on-demand features that will allow you to watch recently aired episodes the next day with a simple click of your remote. I’ve found that some cable services (Time Warner, my arch nemesis) delay the availability of the episode (I think it is to personally torture me). But if you don’t have Time Warner, or are on good terms with TWC and don’t feel like they are out to get you, on-demand is probably the cheapest and most convenient way to watch the Vanderpump Rules premiere ASAP.

You can... pay for it

I can’t pass judgment if this is the path you choose because I foolishly bought the entirety of Season 2 of Vanderpump Rules on iTunes about a month ago before I realized it was on Hulu (to Lisa: I feel this entitles me to some of SUR’s earnings). So if you are on the go, and want to dive into the drama that is SUR, spend the $1.99 on the episode and watch it anywhere your video playing device takes you.
