Paso Robles Party Bus Chaos: Dildos, Wine Spills, and a Group Takedown of Angelica’s Drama in Episode 9
The Paso Robles wine trip wrapped in spectacular fashion on Vanderpump Rules Season 12, Episode 9 (“Rosé All Day”), delivering one of the most unhinged party bus sequences the rebooted cast has seen yet. What started as a hopeful day of vineyard vibes and mended friendships quickly devolved into dildo antics, red wine disasters, petty digs, and a full-group confrontation that left Angelica in tears.
The chaos kicked off early when the guys — led by Jason — began horsing around with his giant dildo in their shared room. Angelica, of course, walked in at the worst possible moment, setting an awkward tone before everyone boarded the party bus for Daou Vineyards.
Audrey gushed over the stunning views, secretly hoping they’d spark some romance from Chris, but the energy was already off the rails.
At the first winery, over cheese and oysters, the group toasted small breakthroughs: Natalie and Kim shared a heartfelt apology, with Kim owning her prolonged resentment (“I do love you”), and praise flowed for Marcus and Venus reconnecting, plus Demy, Natalie, and Kim getting along.
Jason even admitted server life has been “a little stressful,” earning laughs when Demy sarcastically asked, “No! Who told you that?”
But peace was short-lived. During a group photo, Angelica jabbed at Jason with “Squat next to me, you little small man,” prompting his sharp comeback later at lunch: “If I said ‘Give me a hug, little tits,’ I don’t think anyone would like that.”
The tension exploded when Angelica doubled down on her earlier “incestuous” claims about Jason and Chris’ OnlyFans video. She admitted she never watched it — it was just a clickbait description — and the cousins shut it down: just massages and back-showering, “big whoop.”
The bus ride back turned legendary. Audrey accidentally dumped red wine all over Natalie’s dress, inspiring Demy’s deadpan “It’s giving murder… which I love.” Jason openly plotted Angelica’s “demise,” while Chris advised ignoring her for attention. The confrontation peaked when Angelica tried to justify her comments as “endearing,” only to face side-eyes from Demy and accusations of character assassination from Marcus and Venus.
Angelica broke down in tears on the bus, with Audrey (ironically) comforting her while Shayne sat stone-faced nearby. Back at the house, a topless Natalie offered therapy advice in confessional, and Shayne gently ended things with Angelica for good, citing her drama and his non-monogamous lifestyle.
Undeterred, she jumped into his hot tub post-breakup and sent clingy texts (“U up?” “Why did you lock your door?”), earning “stage five clinger” status from Shayne and Chris.
Meanwhile, Lisa Vanderpump celebrated World Dog Day in West Hollywood with a cameo from Tom Schwartz, proudly noting her rescue work and admitting she knows every street dog’s name but none of the owners’. The wholesome detour only highlighted how wild the wine country crew had become.
Episode 9 proved the rebooted Vanderpump Rules still delivers classic Bravo mess: fleeting harmony drowned in pettiness, booze-fueled mishaps, and one cast member’s drama derailing the entire group. With alliances tested and Angelica on the outs, the season’s back half promises even more fireworks.
Vanderpump Rules airs Tuesdays at 9/8c on Bravo and streams the next day on Peacock.
