Tom Sandoval teases that he and Tom Schwartz briefly joined the cast of “Winter House” to ease some of the “tension” with the cast.
“We kind of got in there, and we brought the good vibes, because I felt there was something – I don’t want to say too much and I don’t want to say between who – but there was definitely some tension there,” Sandoval told us while promoting the Yelp Tableware Awards.
The “Vanderpump Rules” star added that he and Schwartz, 39, helped him and Schwartz, 39, “relieve” some of it, rather than increase that tension.
The trailer for “Winter House” season 2 teased that best friends were joining the cast of “Summer House” and “Southern Charm” in the collab series, but Sandoval clarified that viewers won’t be seeing them as much as the cast of season 1. .
“We weren’t there all the time,” Sandoval explained. “We were only there for a couple of nights which was nice because when we came in and it was kind of trashed like these guys have themed parties every night which is great, [but] probably hard to sustain.”
The Schwartz and Sandy founder added that while he already knew most of the cast, he enjoyed “getting to know everyone better” and “being around them for a long time.”
“Schwartz and I did our own theme night, and you’ll see all that,” Sandoval teased. “I brought a lot of my lighting and some cocktails and it was cool.”
Sandoval also explained that of all the cast members, he grew the closest to Austen Kroll from the “Southern Charm” star.
“I hadn’t really gotten to know him yet” [Kroll], but he’s such a cool guy,” he told us. “I really felt like I was getting closer with him specifically. I like that guy. I mean, I liked everyone, but Austen was someone I hadn’t gotten to know very well.”
Since filming, Sandoval has been touring with his band Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras, filming season 10 of “VPR,” creating his new bar with Schwartz, and partnering with Yelp.
“I was really excited to partner with Yelp,” he said of their partnership. “I think The Servies is such a cool thing. It’s the very first front of house awards, and it’s a pretty prestigious award.”
