"Back and Better Than Ever?" Has anyone at Bravo actually watched the first episode? In light of the past almost two years, it would have been more interesting to have more of actual staff of Sur or Tom Tom and how they coped with the restaurants being closed. It would also be a way to develop more cast members and allow them to make up some of the money they lost during the time business was shut down.

It's run its course

[@36rmoore]

The fact that the season opened with the Tom’s in the sidecar rolling up to Tom Tom already says it’s going to be boring. This storyline is so slow and uneventful, like good for them, but no one really cares about them opening bars and no one asked for Charli or Raquel. Vanderpump was successful b/c of the drama, let’s be real, it was tacky and a little trashy with a side of tone deaf singers debuting songs on bars. The success came from Stassi, Jax and Kristen.

They are. Hell Katie admitted to having edibles before her wedding the first time around and they all probably flaunt their cannabis cards. I will also say that if imbibing whatever doesn’t affect your work life your relationships or your personal life then have at it but not to be Jaggie or whatever but it does affect any of the above then in my experience with relationships with people if it is that habitual that it’s all day every day then doesn’t matter what you imbibe it’s a problem whether it’s legal or not in whatever state or country you live in if it inhibits you from being a functioning person in society its a problem. And I’ll be the first to admit that yes I do have a glass of wine every day when I get home from work but it does not affect my work or my life in a negative way
