Overview of #3190 Vanderpump Rules S12E08: This Too Shall Paso Robles (Watch What Crappens recap)
Hosts: Ben Mandelker & Ronnie Karam
This episode is a recap/discussion from the Watch What Crappens podcast of Vanderpump Rules S12E08 (“This Too Shall Paso Robles”). Ben and Ronnie recap the cast’s Paso Robles trip: the fallout and gossip around an OnlyFans video involving Chris & Jason, the interpersonal drama among the friend group, a chaotic “Women in Wine” (Wheel) event hosted by Lisa Vanderpump, lots of drunken hijinks, and a cliffhanger tease that a character (Audrey) has seen disturbing video content that will drive a major confrontation next episode. The recap is comedic, full of snark, and sprinkled with host asides (meeting cast at Sir, Golden Crappies promo, sponsor plugs).
Main plot points & episode beats
- The group is at Lisa Vanderpump’s Paso Robles estate for a “Women in Wine” event and a girls’ trip vibe — but interpersonal tension runs high.
- Central controversy: an OnlyFans video (rumored incestuous/cousin-heavy content) featuring Chris & Jason has circulated; multiple people have watched or been shown snippets, and it grosses out several cast members.
- Kitchen/mushroom running gag: Demi obsessively cooks mushrooms (and scowls when interrupted by Chris), used as comedic fuel for sexual/awkward references.
- Hot tub and lunch scenes: the cast drinks, argues, and attempts to mend relationships; Natalie tries to move on from feuds but finds resistance.
- Workday: they prep and host the Women in Wine Wheel — Lisa officiates; servers (the men) flirt shamelessly with guests; service chaos and side-commentary ensue.
- Evening antics: skinny-dipping, farmer’s market night out, mezcal cocktails at a bar called the OB, role-play / make-out sessions intended to get Venus laid.
- Drinking game (“Squirt”) and breathalyzer gag: reveals who’s most wasted; Demi shows she’s nearly over the limit.
- Cliffhanger: Audrey tells others she saw disturbing footage — “I saw ass, I saw dicks, it was incestuous” — setting up a big fight next episode.
Key character dynamics & conflicts
- Chris & Jason (the twin eyebrow/OnlyFans duo): center of the scandal. Some cast members are grossed out by the content; others shrug because of the money.
- Audrey & Chris: new-ish couple facing a trust test after a phone call/rumor about Chris’s cousin and the Bali plan (“fuck some mad bitches”). Audrey is rattled and pulls back.
- Angelica: upset/awkward about the OnlyFans material; tries to reconcile with others (especially Audrey) but also pushes gossip buttons.
- Demi: irritable, protective of her cooking space, and generally scowling — comic relief through food-focused meltdown.
- Natalie: tries to be the peacemaker; wants to move past fights but feels blocked by those who won’t reconcile.
- Venus: horny, earnest, looking for love; the group conspires to get him laid — a mix of affection and comedy.
- Shane: in flirt mode with Angelica, alternating between vows of non-monogamy and playing house on the trip.
Notable scenes & recurring gags
- Mushroom saga: Demi’s kitchen tantrums, used repeatedly as a running joke about “liquid releasing” and crossed metaphors.
- Big Ziti gag: confusion about “baked ziti” and the punchline “ziti is the fleshlight of the pasta world” — dumb, deliberately silly humor.
- Hot tub/jet jokes: crude banter about jets and body parts — played for laughs.
- Breathalyzer chain: everyone breathes into the same keychain device as a gag; Demi nearly maxes it out.
- Role-play to help Venus: goofy, sweet attempt by the group to help their friend find a hookup — ends in lots of kissing and dancing.
- Women in Wine event: Lisa’s pomp and the servers’ flirty antics; the event both furthers the plot and provides a showcase for Vanderpump Rules’ signature campiness.
Memorable lines / quotes (representative tone — explicit content)
- “Spread butt cheeks, don’t spread rumors.” — delivered as comedic, abrasive advice after gossip about the OnlyFans video.
- “Get it in the hole, bro.” — crude cheering from the group at cornhole/banter moments.
- “Ziti is the fleshlight of the pasta world.” — dumb, intentionally rank metaphor; emblematic of the episode’s lowbrow humor.
- Audrey’s cliffhanger line: “I saw ass, I saw dicks, it was incestuous.” — sets up next episode’s confrontation.
Tone & themes
- Tone: snarky, bawdy, comedic recap. The original episode leans heavily into sexual/gossipy humor and fratty male banter contrasted with female outrage and performative moralizing.
- Themes: boundaries and trust in new relationships; monetizing sexuality (OnlyFans) vs. social stigma; friendship strain and the difficulty of reconciliation in a close-knit, camera-observed group.
Takeaways & what to watch for next episode
- The OnlyFans/incest rumor is the main dramatic engine — Audrey has seen something that will escalate into a major confrontation.
- Watch for the fallout between Audrey and Chris, and for the group’s reaction when the alleged content becomes public knowledge among the cast.
- Expect more messy reconciliations, blowups, and Vanderpump’s event-world glamour as a backdrop for interpersonal chaos.

If you want the short version: this Vanderpump Rules episode is Paso Robles chaos — drunken hookups, a controversial OnlyFans clip of the twin bartenders that disgusts some and pays others, awkward attempts at reconciliation, a Lisa-hosted Women in Wine event, and a cliffhanger in which Audrey claims she’s seen incestuous footage that will likely trigger a blowup next episode.
