Overview of #3203 Vanderpump Rules S12E9: Incest Karma’s Gonna Get You
Hosts: Ben Mandelker & Ronnie Karam (Watch What Crappens)
This episode of the podcast recaps Vanderpump Rules Season 12, Episode 9 (“Rosé All Day”), with Ben and Ronnie breaking down the cast trip to Paso Robles. Major beats include winery hopping, hookups, costume/drama moments, and a central OnlyFans controversy that ignites a fight about whether a past OnlyFans clip (and its caption) was “incestuous.” The hosts intersperse scene-by-scene recap with snarky commentary, comparisons to other Bravo shows, and reminders about their own listeners’ events (the Crappies) and Patreon content.
Episode recap — key scenes & moments
- Opening: Crappies voting/ticket info, Patreon plugs, and sponsor ad (Smith’s).
- Morning at the Paso Robles Airbnb: Natalie tumbles down stairs; the cast wakes up, drinks mimosas, teases, and recaps the previous night’s makeouts.
- Party bus to wineries: group energy—coupling, flirting, antics (notably a very large double-sided dildo passed around), and outfit prep.
- Dao Vineyards & Tobin James Cellars: tastings, oysters (for Shane’s ED joke), rosé, and a dramatic wine-spill splash of red on Natalie (described humorously as murder/Fargo-esque).
- OnlyFans controversy surfaces: a caption for a past OnlyFans clip leads Angelica to call the content “incestuous.” It’s revealed she hadn’t actually watched the video—she only read the caption. Demi may have watched it and is grossed out; Jason insists the video isn’t what the caption promises and defends his content and career.
- Confrontation & fallout: Jason calls out Angelica publicly about judging his OnlyFans and she pushes back; tensions escalate into a group argument with Demi, Audrey, Marcus, and others weighing in.
- Emotional fallout for Angelica: she cries, seeks comfort from Shane; Shane sets a boundary (won’t pursue romance), then claims he’s done with her. Angelica’s repeated, jealous behavior (sleeping on the couch to be near Shane; “you up” texts after he locks his door) is highlighted.
- Side scenes: Venus and Marcus attempt reconciliation; Audrey and Chris’s budding romance and her frustration around OnlyFans drama; cameo at World Dog Day (Lisa Vanderpump hosting, Tom Schwartz shows up); montage gag: “penis pump” clips; Jason’s sentimental monologue about his grandmother.
Main conflicts & character arcs
- Angelica vs. Jason/OnlyFans:
- Angelica publicly labels a captioned OnlyFans clip “incestuous,” revealing she hadn’t watched it—creates moral high-ground vs. hypocrisy drama.
- Jason defends his work, ridicules the mischaracterization, and refuses to be shamed for his OnlyFans content.
- Angelica’s emotional volatility:
- Displayed as needy, contradictory, and increasingly fragile—she courts Shane, gets shut down, then lashes out.
- The cast questions her maturity and reliability.
- Shane’s boundaries:
- Draws a firm line with Angelica, refusing to escalate beyond friendship after repeated mixed signals.
- Group dynamics:
- The reunion-style micro-conflicts reflect broader cast fractures: loyalty, judgment, gossip and who’s “professional” vs. who’s performing for drama.
- Marketing vs. reality (OnlyFans):
- Ben/Ronnie highlight the tension between provocative captions as sales tactics and audience expectations (and cast reactions).
Hosts’ commentary & takeaways
- Ben and Ronnie compare Vanderpump Rules’ declining “lead” status on Bravo to Summer House’s current strength.
- They call out: Angelica’s hypocrisy (judging without full information), Demi’s inconsistent positioning (public vs private reactions), and Jason’s pride in selling his OnlyFans.
- They note recurring Bravo tropes: awkward apologies, straight-person “I knew a gay person” monologues, and weaponized vulnerability.
- Humor & criticism mix: hosts enjoy the absurdity (dildos, wine spills) while criticizing poor conflict-resolution and emotional immaturity.
Memorable moments & lines
- The giant double-sided dildo gag (tossed around, turned into a “hot dog” joke).
- Wine splash on Natalie described as “end of Fargo / murder” imagery.
- Angelica accusing the clip of being “incestuous” while admitting she hadn’t watched it.
- Jason: proud of his OnlyFans and flips the argument to marketing/sales: captions are designed to sell.
- Shane locking his door and later saying he’s done—then sarcastically crossing out his tattoo “hope.”

Bottom line
This episode leans hard on the OnlyFans fallout as its dramatic core—how provocative online content, marketing copy, and assumptions spark real-world interpersonal conflict. The recap emphasizes character flaws (particularly Angelica’s inconsistency and Jason’s unapologetic creator persona), shows the cast’s tendency to escalate gossip into fights, and balances snarky humor (big dildo + wine murder imagery) with critiques of emotional immaturity. Fans get plenty of Bravo-typical moments (drama, makeouts, reconnections) and a clear tease of ongoing fractures heading into future episodes.
