Raise your glasses high, because the queens of reality television are back with some sage advice for the next generation of stars. Stassi Schroeder and Lisa Vanderpump, both iconic figures from the hit show “Vanderpump Rules,” have some valuable insights to share with those looking to make their mark in the world of reality TV.
Be authentic: The key to success
Stassi, who gained fame over eight seasons of “Vanderpump Rules,” emphasizes the importance of authenticity. In her words, “When you try and emulate anyone else or try and act a certain way, people see right through that.” This sentiment resonates deeply in an era where social media often promotes curated personas over genuine self-expression.
For aspiring reality stars, the message is clear: embrace your true self. Viewers are drawn to authenticity, and it’s this quality that can set you apart in a crowded field.
Navigating the reality TV landscape
Lisa Vanderpump, a seasoned veteran of reality television, adds her own twist to the conversation.
While she agrees with Stassi on the importance of being genuine, she also stresses the need for professionalism, especially in service-oriented roles. “Be differential to the customer, bring the service and behave yourself,” she advises. This duality of being true to oneself while also fulfilling the expectations of the role is crucial for anyone entering the reality TV arena.
Balancing authenticity with professionalism can lead to a more successful and enjoyable experience.
Relationships and reality TV: The ups and downs
As viewers of “Vanderpump Rules” know, relationships can be tumultuous, especially when the cameras are rolling. Stassi and Lisa both acknowledge that real-life dynamics often play out in front of the audience.
“If you don’t see that then I don’t believe it,” Vanderpump states, highlighting the reality of marriage and relationships. Stassi adds, “We’ve been together eight years. That’s wild.” This candidness about the challenges and joys of relationships is refreshing and serves as a reminder that reality TV often reflects real life, with all its complexities.
As fans eagerly await the new season of “Vanderpump Rules” and the upcoming episodes of “Vanderpump Villa,” it’s clear that the legacy of these two queens will continue to influence the next generation of reality stars. With their blend of authenticity, professionalism, and real-life experiences, Stassi and Lisa are paving the way for aspiring stars to navigate the often unpredictable world of reality television.
