'Vanderpump Rules' Tries To Make Tom Sandoval Sympathetic — But He Isn't

Season 11 has been documenting the fall-out from "Scandoval," with cameras picking up roughly three months after the scandal broke. The season began with Ariana Madix alone in her home, while Tom Sandoval was away in New Zealand, filming Special Forces: World's Toughest Test. As soon as he returned to their shared home, the perspective took a shift. With a shockingly rapid pace, the Sandoval redemption tour took over, with production working overtime to make him seem sympathetic despite his unrepentant anger towards the people he owes apologies to. Sandoval's behavior now poses a significant problem on Vanderpump Rules in Season 11. Tom's rage towards Ariana and the boundaries she has kept in place since their relationship ended, has been receiving less and less criticism within the group as the season progresses. Instead, one by one, it appears the cast are each accepting that in order for production to move forward, Sandoval will need to be accommodated.
