The cast shared that while the reality TV veteran can be intimidating, you\u2019d be surprised at how she really is once you get to know her. \u201cShe\u2019s a huge restaurateur. That comes with pressure,\u201d said Gabriella, 26. \u201cBut she\u2019s also incredibly helpful and puts a lot of trust in us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hannah and Andre were quick to agree. \u201cShe gives great advice. I need a lot of advice!\u201d laughed Hannah, who described Lisa as \u201ca mother figure.\u201d Mitchell added, \u201cShe cares. And I think that\u2019s the understatement for even that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A major highlight of the season is <em>Vanderpump Rules<\/em> alum Stassi\u2019s arrival at the villa \u2014 along with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeandstylemag.com\/posts\/stassi-schroeder-and-beau-clarks-drama-over-his-sister-georgia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">husband <strong>Beau Clark<\/strong><\/a> and their kids, Hartford and Messer. In true Stassi fashion, she had the cast in awe from the second she stepped out of the car.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was ecstatic,\u201d said Marciano, 31. \u201cThey made the experience more enlightening for us. When we didn\u2019t have Lisa to talk to, they were like our backbone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anthony gushed about Stassi\u2019s family as well. \u201cStassi and her family were like a breath of fresh air. I would rather deal with them than the rest of the staff!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This marks Stassi\u2019s return to reality TV after her scandal in 2020, where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeandstylemag.com\/posts\/stassi-schroeder-and-kristen-doute-fired-from-vanderpump-rules\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">she and costar <\/span><b>Kristen Doute<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> had falsely reported<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> their Black castmate, <\/span><b>Faith Stowers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, to the police for a crime she did not commit. The incident ultimately led to her firing on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VPR<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but Stassi has since moved on and recaptured the hearts of the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vanderpump Villa<\/span><\/i>\u00a0cast and audiences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s still sassy,\u201d said Andre, \u201cbut she\u2019s also evolved. They\u2019re like extended family now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some of the cast revealed they didn\u2019t even know her before filming. \u201cI didn\u2019t really know who she was,\u201d said Gabriella. \u201cNow, I admire her. It was nice to have someone right there next to me that I could learn from.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This season promises not just culinary challenges and VIP guests \u2014 but emotional fireworks. A $30,000 bonus on the line fuels both camaraderie and conflict. As Grace, 24, teased, \u201cPeople definitely got busy this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_720028\" style=\"width: 727px;\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<div class=\"ratio-based-placeholder\" style=\"padding-bottom:141%;\"><\/div><figcaption class=\"photo-credit photo-credit-caption\"><span class=\"credit\">Getty<\/span><\/figcaption><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text wp-caption-text-credit\"><span class=\"caption\"><\/p>\n<p> Lisa Vanderpump and Stassi Schroeder<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Lisa herself described the season as Vanderpump Matchmaker, hinting at a blossoming web of relationships among the staff. \u201cLet\u2019s just say there\u2019s a lot of new relationships in the house,\u201d Hannah said with a laugh.<\/p>\n<p>As for drama? The cast isn\u2019t putting up with much! \u201cWe\u2019re nipping shit in the bud this season,\u201d said Gabriella. Andre added that viewers can expect \u201craw emotions\u201d throughout.<\/p>\n<p>Still, beneath the clashes and confessions is a desire for growth. \u201cWe try and come in as a family and leave as a family,\u201d Marciano said. \u201cFamilies fight, but families also forgive.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeandstylemag.com\/posts\/vanderpump-villa-cast-dish-on-lisa-and-stassis-return-to-reality-tv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vanderpump Villa has returned for season 2 with all ten episodes available to binge on Hulu!
