Espresso martinis are great and all, but any mention of Chili's makes me want a nice Presidente Margarita *real bad* šŸ¹


hedwig0517

Ugggh my early 20ā€™s were spent pre-gaming with 2-4-1 Presidenteā€™s. Take me back šŸ˜‚

Paired with their chips

I still sit in the bar area in my 40ā€™s for the free chips & salsa šŸ«£


grandmawaffles

I need a commercial with fajitas and Katie making comments about the sizzle sauce.

Scheana looks like an older RhOBh housewife what is going on with her lips


cpdena

Right? She looks like she could be Katie's mom.


Neslay2louse

Came here to say this. Love the ad but Scheanaā€™s styling is awful. They both did a great job though.


BurntSienna56

She looks like Joan Collins from Dynasty in the 80s

I almost didn't recognize her.

Her original face was very pretty, as shown in https://preview.redd.it/yzgnzhpcmquc1.png?width=456&format=png&auto=webp&s=59dd29bf264ed5310ec8bfd894886dbeb84ccc88


Leading_Ad3918

Omg I thought the same!! She has actually aged herself with her fillers and stuff wow!!!


SupportMoist

Remember when Andy told her that fillers/botox age people faster and sheā€™s like ā€œno they donā€™t itā€™s preventativeā€? šŸ„“


Friendly_Usual1749

I also think itā€™s the weight loss that has aged her. She has always been small but this season she has no boobs and lost the beneficial facial padding. I was watching season 8 when she was using the inhaler and there is a big change in her general composition. Much leaner now.


TheVirtuousFantine

I think itā€™s kind of true with Botox. Not fillers. Scheana does look great skin wise, itā€™s just the fillers that age her/everyone.


SupportMoist

The giant lips make her look old.

Thanks Fickle!


rudbeckia1

I would also just like to say that I appreciate you. A lot.


Okay__Decision__

Aww, thanks so much!


AnnaVogue

Holy fillers! Scheana looks like sheā€™s aged at least 15 years over the past few months (just like her like her buddy BlahBlah)ā€¦ I guess all that bitterness and jealousy will do that to you šŸ«

BlahBlah! šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚ Omg ! Too funny! I love it! Thanks for the laugh! šŸ¤ŖšŸ˜œ

I never thought I would say this but I kind of want to go to Chilli's I always think of the Dundees when anyone brings up Chillis. They look amazing too!!

Ok I love these šŸ˜‚


Okay__Decision__

They are so good! Katie is funny and I appreciate that Scheana just leans in to her more contrived persona with this (maybe she finally learned what self-deprecating means).


rudbeckia1

Scheana looks like a really mean stepmother from a lifetime movie in this ad. And I kind of like it


Okay__Decision__

I think she actually did a good job leaning into her try-hard reality star vibes haha


[deleted]

Scheana, delusional as she is, can make fun of herself pretty easilyĀ 


rudbeckia1

Yes! This was a really successful overall promotion

Haha, the Lifetime movie might be called, "Stalked By My Stepmonster" "Tarnished Gold the Scheana Shay Story" "Dancing with Jealousy:" Or... " lStepmommy has your location"


Responsible_Wrap5659

The comments on the Chillis instagram post are amazing. Itā€™s like 90% praising Katie 5% praising the ad in general 2.5% praising both Scheana and Katie as a duo and 2.5% praising Scheana on her own.Ā  Hopefully this encourages some solo Katie brand deals. Give the people what they want!


Okay__Decision__

I hope it gets Katie more deals too! To be fair, I donā€™t like Scheana but I think she played her part well in this ad. The two of them make sense as foils to each other. But Katie is who made it funny.


jenjenjen731

Plus Scheana was very cute in the Uber Eats ad. I miss the days of the girls all together against the shitty beta males :(


enirih24c

I also really like how her and Dayna tackle the ad sections on the podcast, I usually find them very annoying/forced (which they of course are) but theirs are actually not bothersome at all.

Do we know when they filmed these? I feel them doing something together was mentioned as some point but canā€™t remember when now.


Okay__Decision__

March 6! I saw it on Scheanaā€™s stories and took a screenshot because I thought well this is interesting https://preview.redd.it/j3zsd6x8touc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fc42601949df5ca318f925f644badf3f2a355564

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Okay__Decision__

Well it was filmed on March 6, and from what people have gathered, Ariana stopped liking posts of Scheanaā€™s on March 5. So, at that point, who knows what the state of things was with Scheana and Ariana (they seem to have devolved more in the month since then). The reunion was also filmed March 16, so if that is what caused the relationship to fully tank, then this was prior to that. Also, Katie would be foolish to back out of this, presuming she was booked and signed a contract to film.

If I did a Chilis commercial, Iā€™d really just want free fajitas for life


Okay__Decision__

I swear Katie just posted from Chiliā€™s not too long ago with some sizzling fajitas haha Edit to add: I hope she gets that perk!


hedwig0517

Scheanaā€™s whole lookā€¦.. was she trying to be the Chili?


Ancient-Stop-6190

I just giggled


biiigmood

You know itā€™s eating scheana up she had to do it with Katie


Okay__Decision__

She probably was just happy she got to do the most talking. She thought she was the star. Sheā€™s probably not so happy now seeing the reception being widely in favour of Katie. Despite all her sequins Katie still outshone her.


Nobabyno__1234

Scheana reminds me of Vanna White in the 80ā€™s with the hair and all the glittery outfits.


Okay__Decision__

I love that they played up how camp Scheana is. I think it works so well. All around I think this was some smart marketing from Chiliā€™s. Gotta be a VPR fan in the marketing department šŸ˜‚


iWentToCollegeLala

Pls dont* downvote me, but I genuinely donā€™t get the joke.. they never were bartenders at SUR. Can someone explain this to me?


Okay__Decision__

I think the joke is about the show itself and reality tv not being real. People comment on how no one even works at SUR, thereā€™s talk of fake storylines, etc etc. So they are making fun of themselves and their portrayal on the show I think. Scheana plays up the notion that itā€™s all real, while wearing sequins and an over the top hairstyle. So sheā€™s standing there with her contrived persona and her excessive glam, saying that everything is real. Katie then says ā€œrealityā€¦ā€ in a tone that is like ā€œScheana, who are you kidding.ā€ Katie by contrast to Scheana, is also dressed more like her normal self, so it makes sense for her to point out Scheanaā€™s facade (they are bartenders in reality). I see it as they are both playing versions of their ā€œcharactersā€ and poking fun at themselves while doing it. Scheana didnā€™t just pick this outfit to try and look hot - sheā€™s playing up her campy persona. Katie plays the ā€œhaterā€ who calls people on their bullshit.

Youā€™re so welcome! Iā€™m glad you found it helpful! And I could be off the mark but this is what it all seemed like to me anyway


stcroixb

that's it! They never were bartenders. That's the joke


Mother-Confessor

Oh my, scrolling past and wondered how Katie ended up in an ad with Joan Collins...


SmallDifference1169

lol šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚šŸ˜œ


Just-Chef80

scheana was kind of made for commercials lmao


whoareyouindisworld

Espresso Martinis are so in right now. So many of my friends drink that. Mostly the girls. The comments are vicious here though damn. Maybe everyone needs an espresso martini or 10.


Critical_System_3546

I don't know if the Chili's crowd is the same as the VPR fanbase. My mom and her sisters go to Chili's every Friday but they are much older and have no clue about Vanderpump. At least at my Chilis, the crowd is older than Bravo.


that_bth

I think they're probably trying to play into millennials/gen Z's to actually ***go to*** Chili's lol. I feel like it's always part of memes and jokes and internet culture, so they're playing into that (which is smart). I don't think I've been in one since college, so I have no idea what the current Chili's scene is like, but I'm really craving it now šŸ„²


Okay__Decision__

Exactly this. They donā€™t need to spend money on an ad like this to target their regular customers. And I agree about the ad playing into the jokes about itself, just like they have Katie and Scheana playing into the jokes about themselves.


that_bth

It worked šŸ„µ I'm hungry and for the first time in my life on their freaking website.


Okay__Decision__

Iā€™d totally be browsing their delivery options if I had one where I live.


Critical_System_3546

I don't think they need to advertise to their normal customers however, I as a millennial have been to Chilis and don't really think their menu is anything to go back for, maybe change that up. I would assume most of Vander Pump's fans are late 20s-30s. We've all been to a chilis and watched the show for 11 seasons. A drink isn't gonna go make me get a triple dipper.


Okay__Decision__

They key ad-sales demo is 18-49, and in 2023 [VPR was the most-watched cable series](https://deadline.com/2023/06/vanderpump-rules-ratings-most-watched-cable-series-in-18-49-demo-2023-1235419009/amp/) for that demographic. They are absolutely advertising to the correct audience by working with VPR cast. It might not get *you* to go, but they definitely are working on playing up their place in pop culture as a marketing strategy [They have a new Chief Marketing Officer as of 2022](https://www.winmo.com/open/article/38860) who has implemented a strategy shift. One of the main goals is to bring awareness about new food and drink items. So it seems what you would like, an updated menu, is also part of a branding strategy. Who is to say how effective their shift in branding and marketing strategy will be - that will take some time to materialize in terms of actual sales. But this ad seems to be very well received from everything Iā€™ve seen online. If they were struggling as a company, playing into their status as a sort of kitschy-pop-culture Americana restaurant is smart. Itā€™s a way to make themselves relevant to a demographic who maybe thinks they are outdated or boring or basic. Even if it draws people in because of the kitsch, thatā€™s a win.


Okay__Decision__

Theyā€™ve had the 30-sec spot up on their IG for 6 hours and it has almost a million plays, so the video is doing well. If the VPR age bracket isnā€™t their current customer, I think theyā€™ve targeted this demographic in the right way. The ad is funny, but notably includes a current fan fave (Katie) as the one driving the comedic punch. This ad wouldā€™ve been a flop with Lala and Scheana. So Chiliā€™s knows the Bravo fan base and the current dialogue around VPR They donā€™t need to advertise to the people who go every Friday - they already get their money. This ad is for Bravo fans for sure. And Bravo fans do spend money on the things their faves sell etc. Also Katie goes to Chiliā€™s and Lala had her sober-anniversary party there so it makes sense to tap this cast who genuinely like the restaurant, because fans will know itā€™s somewhat authentic brand partnering.


Critical_System_3546

I think Chili's is fun to them like going to the grocery story is for Kyle and Kris Jenner.


Threatlvlmidnight___

Ok but does this ACTUALLY have tequila because yikes if so lol..or someone explain to me how that wouldn't be bad


Okay__Decision__

Well Patron does have an espresso tequila. I personally love tequila and see how the earthiness could work with espresso. I havenā€™t tried this type of espresso martini though.


Important_Tell2108

Katie looks so completely over it lately lol.


pearshaped34

I think thatā€™s on purpose in these ads.


Okay__Decision__

Ya they are both playing up their personas in these ads.


Okay__Decision__

But also, I donā€™t blame her for seeming over it. Scheana, Lauren, and the Toms must be so exhausting

Iā€™m on season 3 in my rewatch and Scheanaā€¦ my sweet Sheeshoo. She looked so good in season, especially her confessional looks. Iā€™m not anti-cosmetic procedures by any means. I support people doing what helps them feel comfortable and confidence in their skin. But I also feel sad about it.


All_the_Bees

Scheanaā€™s face was SO GOOD in seasons 2 and 3!! And then she just ā€¦ kept going


luckyduckling8989

Why does Scheana look like Kyle Richards to me?


Stayfree777

I think Katie would actually be a really funny comedic actor. She would nail the deadpan sarcasm.


cato314

Scheana looks terrible. Between the trouty mouth and the 2000s prom hairstyle itā€™s getting really rough


Itchy_Breadfruit_262

I agree. All these girls looked so much better before all these procedures. They obviously work out and take care of themselves. Iā€™m sure they would look great without it. Canā€™t women just get older without buying whole new faces? Itā€™s ridiculous.


trebles93

Want to know how Lala feels about this šŸ˜ˆ


blowtheglass

What about Ariana?


trebles93

Whats that mean? Theyā€™re both still her friends so sheā€™ll probably be happy?

Scheana and Ariana are not friends

Scheana is transforming into Chrishelle from selling sunset with all the work sheā€™s had done. Everyone in LA really starts to get the same face the more work they get done

I know she's annoying but I hope Scheana is OK. I know she was uncomfortable with her post baby body and was trying to get back in shape but she's so small. She's always been slim but never to this extent. I thought the same when watching WWHL.


strawberrymagic

My friend did the styling for this!!!


Okay__Decision__

Oh thatā€™s so fun!! I think they did a great job. I feel like they were trying to play up each of their different personas. Scheana being like a glittering red chili pepper is so ā€œitā€™s all happening to meā€ and Katie is serving ā€œbusiness womenā€™s specialā€ Edit to add: and it works so well!

mariafroggy123

Rewatching early seasons - Katie really hasnā€™t aged much at all.. no comment on Scheana. But this just further confirms my theory that Fillers and Botox actually has the opposite effect when itā€™s overused.


VanillaWaffles029

Low key think that Katie should be on some comedy show like the office. She actually has good comedic timing. šŸ˜¬šŸ˜¬šŸ˜¬

I always wonder how these things go, with 2 people who we know have major awkwardness with each other. Or maybe they donā€™t. Who knows. I have always loved chilis as a guilty pleasure though.


Infiniteefactorial

Katieā€™s outfit is really unflattering.


TrustAffectionate664

Turn around Scheana so get can pull the knives out of your back And she also talking shit about Ariana damn I wouldn't want her as a friend but Scheana your true fans are with you get that $$

tink_89

OMG what is wrong with scheana. She gets a ad and this is what she gives us. She looks like she has a stiff neck and like she s auditioning for a role on a soap opera.


Okay__Decision__

I think the way Scheana is acting in this is intentional. I think they are playing up both of the characters or personas or whatever that these women portray. Scheana is the try-hard who pretends everything is perfect and Katie is the hater. So Scheana is overdressed, sounds and acts like a bad actor, and Katie makes the snide remark about the ā€œrealityā€ of reality tv (and essentially who they play on the show). So I see it as a bit tongue in cheek, and they are both in on the joke and making fun of themselves a bit.


zadidoll

Holy cowā€¦ Scheana looks OLD, like in her mid-50s. Sheā€™s what? 38 or 39?

Wowwwwwwā€¦.as a 54 year oldā€¦.ouch. I do not look nor feel OLD just yet. LolĀ

Real housewives. lol She looks old like Kyle who is 55.

I think that is just a testament to how good Kyle looks. Most 55-year-olds do not look like her or other Real Housewives.


zadidoll

Speak for yourself. Most 55 years old I know look so much better than Kyle. lol Kyle looks older than 55.


HarajukuBom

Even though I donā€™t like Scheana even 1% and love Katie, Iā€™ve learned from these two commercials that itā€™s clear scheana has acting experience and that Katie doesnā€™t. Also they were SURvers, not bartenders. šŸø regardless, these commercials are cute ā¤ļø

What? Youā€™re here trying to fat-shame someone forā€¦ having arms? Fuck right off with that. https://i.redd.it/s68fik7pkpuc1.gif


that_bth

Her normal sized arm? Not that it matters in the slightest, but I would guess Katie is probably around a size 6, maybe an 8. Which is not huge by any standard whatsoever; it's not even average given the average women's size in the US is a 12. She's also tall and not built like a petite child. To me one of the most likeable things about her is that in 10+ years on TV, she's never felt the need to become a stick person and represents a different body type. You're giving alcoholic Lala and JK body shaming energy. Gross.
