AceShowbiz - Tom Schwartz has mixed feelings about the recent overhaul of "Vanderpump Rules", which ended the original cast's tenure after 11 seasons. While he understands the network's decision to freshen up the show, Schwartz believes there should have been "one more season" with the original crew.
Despite his disappointment about the ending, he expresses gratitude for his time on the show and acknowledges it has been "11 of the best years of [his] life."
Schwartz confides that he has been feeling nostalgic and sentimental since the announcement of his departure, but he remains in contact with most of his former castmates. Season 12 of "Vanderpump Rules" will feature a new group of servers from Lisa Vanderpump's SUR restaurant, with Schwartz, Lala Kent, and Scheana Shay expected to make cameo appearances.
In related news, Schwartz and Sandoval recently announced the closure of their bar, Schwartz & Sandy's. While the fallout from Sandoval's cheating scandal and subsequent split with Ariana Madix has negatively impacted business, Schwartz expresses pride in their efforts and gratitude for the show's support over the years.
