Now that Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are completely consumed in the Scandoval drama, it’s no surprise that they had some takeaways from Wednesday night’s (May 31) Vanderpump Rules Reunion Part 2.
During this morning’s episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, the duo — whose knowledge of the show covers only the most recent batch of episodes —reflected on yesterday’s conversation, where Consuelos proclaimed himself “Team Tom Schwartz.”
“Lola keeps telling me that I shouldn’t talk about it on the show because, ‘You don’t even know what you’re talking about and you could be misrepresenting facts not in evidence,’ is what she yelled at me,” Ripa said, while Consuelos laughed off being called “trash” by viewers for the side he took in the debacle.
While Ripa went on to say that Part 2 of the reunion was “interesting,” she was more concerned with James Kennedy constantly leaving the room than she was with Ariana Madix or Tom Sandoval — the key players in the show’s drama after Sandoval cheated on her with her close friend Raquel Leviss.
“There’s this guy that can’t stay in his seat and I’m really worried about him the most of all of these people,” she said. “Again, I don’t know his name. He has a British accent. He has a pompadour.”
When a fan informed Ripa of the DJ’s name, she went on to speculate why Kennedy — who kept getting up to go to the bathroom every time things got tense with Sandoval — couldn’t stay seated.
“He can’t sit in his seat and so I’m concerned that he either has a UTI or something else happening,” Ripa joked. “I get very invested in things that are weird and off the beaten path.”
The longtime Live host also noted that she’s “fascinated by everyone’s nail length and shape” and that she often finds herself “distracted by the stuff that doesn’t matter” — something Consuelos attributed to her ADD.
“Lola turned to me and she’s like, ‘Oh my god, did you hear that?’ And I was like, ‘Hear what? I was looking at Lala’s nails. I didn’t hear what she said. I missed everything she said,'” Ripa recalled.
