Vanderpump Rules S12E07: Eyebrows in the Attic
Release Date: January 22, 2026
Hosts: Ben Mandelker & Ronnie Karam

Episode Overview

In this raucous recap of Vanderpump Rules Season 12, Episode 7, Ben and Ronnie delight in the chaos of the show’s main cast “Cats Trip,” the dubious “20th anniversary” of SUR, and, most notably, an OnlyFans scandal that teeters on the edge of incest among the new SUR staffers. Laced with their trademark blend of affectionate mockery, sharp observation, and quotable one-liners, the hosts navigate workplace drama, romantic entanglements, and Bravo’s ever-blurring line between reality and outrageousness.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

Cat’s Trip Anticipation & Mid-Season Thoughts

• Ben and Ronnie both express disbelief that they’re already at Episode 7, speculating this may be a "tester season" for the rebooted cast. Ben wants the show renewed, highlighting the cast trip as a make-or-break event.
  • “It looks like we're here at the Cat's Trip. I think this is the main cast trip. ...Hope it does. I really like it.” (Ben, 02:40)

Amusing Opening Scenes: Dogs, Milkshakes, Sectionals, and Tea Bags

• Venus walks dogs in Winnetka (dog in backpack; L.A. gay essential).
• Jason and Chris tease homoerotic tension while making post-workout "dirty little milkshakes."
  • “Are these two just cousins or are they fucking each other?” (Ronnie, 03:56)
• Natalie moves her massive sectional and discovers a literal teabag under it, prompting Ben and Ronnie’s musings about strange household discoveries.

Lisa Vanderpump & Guillermo Plan SUR's 20th Anniversary

• Lisa, in typical theatrical fashion, reminisces about humble beginnings and formulates plans for a “Women in Wine” event at Paso Robles.
• The “Sexy Unique Restaurant” acronym is roasted for being “utterly batshit crazy,” while Lisa’s eccentricities (insisting to be called ‘Pinky’, always self-mythologizing) are lovingly lampooned.
  • “That's one of the craziest things you could ever call a restaurant.” (Ben, 08:48)
  • “She’s a kook.” (Ben, 09:52)
• The hosts highlight the continued presence of questionable service (“Maybe look at your service ratings on the app,” Ben, 12:10).

Relationship Dramas

• Kim & Marcus: Ongoing toxic cycles, with Kim “never not being there” for Marcus, except when experiencing the brunt of his volatility and suspicions.
  • “I'm never not gonna be there during your worst time of your life. I will be there for you. And then I'll also complain at the same time.” (Ben as Kim, 15:42)
• Angelica & Shane: Flirtatious beach date descends into confusion about boundaries—Shane admits to not believing in monogamy, citing family tradition.
  • “Nobody in my family is monogamous. They're ethically non-monogamous though, if that makes any sense.” (Shane, 19:45)
• Angelica naively believes she can change Shane’s mind, with Ben and Ronnie cautioning against "I can fix him" delusions.
  • “No, he won’t even make change for you.” (Ronnie, 21:04)

SUR’s “20th” Anniversary Party: Celebratory Chaos

• Staff question the math (SUR was open in 1998; 20th anniversary? It's 2026).
  • “If this is the sir 20th anniversary, and I’m 20... can somebody let me know, like, what?” (Natalie, 23:44)
• Lisa gives a now-classic pep talk, filled with bombast and references to “women trapped in wine bottles.”
• The party features jazz played by 12-year-olds and a notable lack of original cast at the festivities.

Behind-the-Bar Wars: Kim vs. Natalie

• Marcus manipulates conflict, relaying “I love you” banter between Demi and Kim, sparking jealousy and confrontation between Natalie and Kim.
• Lisa intervenes in host stand altercations, concerned about children musicians witnessing “girls, girls!” fighting.
  • “We’ve got children on instruments. We're paying them 13 cents an hour. Please, please, have some respect!” (Lisa/Ben, 45:40)

Jason’s Incompetence & Comic Relief

• Jason’s failings (“not good with computers,” “pre-med” confusion, lack of menu knowledge) are hilariously recounted.
  • "If Jason wanted to be a doctor, how would he organize everything? ...What if he chopped off the wrong leg?" (Ronnie, 29:56)
• Attempts to upsell goat cheese balls and reference empanadas (“empanumber”/“in Canada?”) showcase cluelessness.

OnlyFans Scandal & Potential Incest

• Kim, Angelica, and Demi discover Jason and Chris’s cousinly OnlyFans content, reading explicit captions aloud (“oiled up saggy balls all the way up to our ass”).
  • “If my man was naked lubing up his cousin, I don't want anything to do with you. Sorry.” (Angelica, 76:22)
• The audience and hosts revel in the outrageousness, likening it to Bravo’s first “hot incest” storyline.

The Madonna Inn Detour / Prelude to Paso Robles Trip

• The car ride banter covers everything from urinal etiquette to “who’s most likely to throw a drink,” highlighting generational differences, pop culture ignorance, and male bonding in “divided urinal” bathrooms.
  • “Now we have a whole generation of men growing up who never knew what it was like to have a line of urinals together that didn’t have the little dividers...” (Ben, 61:16)

Cast House Room Assignments & Girl Talk

• Audrey & Chris get the “couple suite,” igniting Kim’s bitterness.
• Tension simmers between divided alliances (Angelica, Natalie, Kim vs. Audrey), culminating in private discussions about trust, jealousy, and who is being “miserable.”

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On SUR’s Wacky Branding:
  • “We’ve just gotten so used to the fact that it's called Sexy Unique Restaurant, I think we've forgotten how utterly batshit crazy it is to call a restaurant that.” (Ben, 08:48)

  • “Are these two just cousins or are they fucking each other?” (Ronnie, 03:56)

• Lisa Vanderpump Dragging Her History:
  • “When we came to the United States to get our visas, I'll never forget Ken and I arriving in a wagon being pulled by a sad donkey. I had a ball gown tied up in a bindle behind me...” (Ben as Lisa, 07:24)
• Marcus Fueling Drama:
  • “Marcus is like, literally, Regina George with a burn book, and she's throwing papers in the school and, like, taking a step back and letting everyone else fight about it, knowing that he was the ringleader the entire time.” (Ben, 49:05)
• On Incest Scandal:
