Who Is on the Hot Seat Going Into the Vanderpump Villa Season 3 Reunion

Not everyone walks into a reunion on equal footing. Some cast members have explaining to do. Here is who is sitting in the hottest seats when the Season 3 cast gets together.

You can see the reunion trailer here.


Marciano Brunette

The obvious answer — and the most complicated one. Marciano is walking into the reunion carrying the Mormon Wives fallout, the Jordan confrontation, the Hannah drama, and secrets he hinted at but never fully dropped. He confirmed on camera that he and Jessi kissed and said I love you. He refused to call Bret after admitting he kissed Demi, too. He called Stassi manipulative — three times. He also came to Hannah’s defense when the house turned on her, told anyone who would listen that he loves her, and did not blow up at Jordan when he arguably had every reason to. Stassi, in confessional, said she was proud of him for that. Marciano is not simply the villain this season — but he is the one with the most to answer for.


Hannah Fouch

Hannah arrived determined to have her “dirty 30 horny Hannah” summer and delivered on that promise. She also lied — to a producer, to Marciano, to the house — about the extent of what was happening between her and Marciano all season. She admitted it. Marciano then told Gabriella Sanon and Sher Suarez she had been talking about them behind their backs. Hannah denied the extent of it but not all of it. The cast has specific, concrete grievances to bring to the table. She will need to answer for them.


Jordan Ngatikaura (Should There Be a Guest Appearance)

Jordan came in as the wronged party. Marciano’s bombshell — that Jessi cheated on her first husband to be with Jordan — put his own behavior under scrutiny. Stassi Schroder cornered him on camera and asked directly if he was lying. He got defensive and walked away muttering. Dakota Mortensen noted he spent more of his confrontation with Marciano talking about Demi Engemann than about his own marriage. The reunion gives the cast a chance to push on what Jordan was actually deflecting from.


Nick King

Nick’s professional credibility problem does not go away at the reunion. He was hired as a bartender, demoted to barback, and spent the rest of the season charming his way through the summer. Marciano said early on that his motives did not seem right. Alyssa and Nick kept insisting things were casual while clearly not being casual. He then pursued Jess from Bachelor Nation while still in Alyssa’s orbit. The reunion is the first time the cast gets to ask Nick directly: what were you actually here for?


Gabriella Sanon

Gabriella’s hot seat is less explosive but no less real. She and Chef Anthony Bar were awarded the same badge — and she made clear on camera she resented it. Chef told Dom he does not respect her work ethic and finds her bossy. By the end of the season he was not sure he wanted to come back, and Gabriella is a significant part of why. She also called Marciano obsessed and a psycho in front of Hannah — which is a statement the reunion may revisit given everything that came out afterward.


Alyssa Johnston

Alyssa spent the season telling Dom DeAngelis she just wanted to be friends while apparently giving him enough signals off-camera to make him think otherwise. When he confronted her, she walked away in tears and producers had to go find her. She and Nick kept doing the casual dance that was not actually casual. She never fully resolved either situation on screen. The reunion is where both threads need to land.

The reunion is not a resolution. It is a reckoning. And with this many people holding this many receipts, the only guarantee is that nobody is walking out of that room the same way they walked in.
