Vanderpump Rules’ Ariana Madix didn’t hold back when we gave her the opportunity to take some cheap shots at her co-stars. Watch as she dishes on who she'd rather be stuck on a deserted island with — sorry Schwartz, it’s not you — why she still wears white nail polish, and the biggest lie she’s ever told to production.

00:00 Tom Schwartz, I don't want there at all.
00:02 Completely useless, no thanks.
00:04 Hi, I'm Ariana Maddox,
00:05 and I'm taking cheap shots with Cosmo.
00:08 Is that the one?
00:11 (gunshot)
00:12 - Oh!
00:13 (laughing)
00:13 - That's what you get.
00:14 (upbeat music)
00:16 I am not a fan of straight liquor in any regard,
00:21 let alone cheap.
00:22 I might be taking some shots.
00:24 Oh, great.
00:26 In round one, I will be taking shots at myself.
00:30 The drinks are Aperol Spritzes.
00:32 I love Aperol Spritzes.
00:33 Four are regular, and one is spiked with $4 Prosecco.
00:37 It's like college.
00:39 Question one.
00:40 You've had some pretty shady things done to you
00:42 on Vanderpump Rules.
00:44 What's the shadiest thing you've ever done
00:47 to one of your castmates that didn't make it to air?
00:49 Okay, it wasn't to a castmate.
00:53 It was to production.
00:54 It was the trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
00:58 We all had to get on a plane,
01:00 and my ex thought that morning he should get up
01:03 and go on a jet ski by himself.
01:06 He was literally still on the jet ski
01:08 when they were loading up the vans
01:10 with all of our stuff and all of us.
01:12 So I lied to production and told them
01:15 that he was just in the bathroom,
01:17 but literally I could see him outside of the hotel window
01:19 in the ocean still on the jet ski.
01:22 And that was pretty shady.
01:23 - Were they pissed when they found out?
01:25 - They were pissed mostly just because I think
01:27 that they really, they anticipated, I think, him being late.
01:30 So then I just, I didn't help.
01:32 But listen, what was I supposed to do?
01:34 And goodbye.
01:36 Question two.
01:38 You recently received backlash for dropping
01:40 new something about her merch
01:42 without the shop even being open.
01:44 It's a collab with a company
01:45 that donates to homeless people.
01:48 What's the exact date of the shop's grand opening?
01:51 How dare us do something charitable?
01:53 Question three.
01:56 Oh, I have to take a shot then.
01:58 I think that was a good one.
02:06 That wasn't, I don't think that was,
02:07 that was not the cheap shot.
02:08 Okay.
02:09 Question three.
02:10 Some of your cast mates are known pathological liars.
02:14 What's the craziest thing someone has asked you
02:17 to lie about on the show?
02:20 There's been a handful of things that are like small.
02:23 Well, I guess maybe they're not that small now,
02:25 but like, you know, I knew who Lala was seeing
02:28 in season four and I didn't know their situation,
02:33 but you know, just gonna have her back.
02:35 That's my girl.
02:36 Okay.
02:37 Question four.
02:39 You are preparing for the role of Roxy Hart on Broadway.
02:42 Rank these Roxy Harts from most to least talented.
02:47 Okay, so the options are
02:49 Erika Jayne, Lisa Rinna, and me.
02:51 I'm not doing that.
02:52 I can just say I'm the least talented
02:55 because I don't know, that's just,
02:56 I'm not gonna toot my own horn like that.
02:58 But I think Erika Jayne and Lisa Rinna are both talented
03:01 'cause Lisa Rinna was out here doing this shit
03:03 like a long ass time ago.
03:05 So I feel like I have to take the shot
03:06 because I can't rank them.
03:09 Here we go.
03:10 Oh God, I'm nervous.
03:11 That one was fine.
03:18 Okay.
03:19 Was it?
03:21 Oh, that was the cheap one?
03:24 Says something about me.
03:26 Question five.
03:29 If you had to be stuck with one of the following
03:32 for the rest of your life,
03:33 which one would you choose and why?
03:36 A, wearing a lightning bolt necklace.
03:39 B, wearing white nail polish.
03:41 C, having galaxy lights in your bedroom.
03:44 I'm gonna go with
03:46 C, having galaxy lights in my bedroom
03:49 because A, I can turn them on or off
03:51 and B, sometimes they're fun.
03:53 The one I would do the least
03:54 is probably lightning bolt necklace.
03:57 I didn't get very far during that one.
04:01 Round one completed.
04:04 Round two, time shots.
04:06 I'll have 30 seconds to get these trivia questions
04:08 about myself right or take a shot.
04:11 These drinks are Palomas, my favorite.
04:13 Four are made with Patron
04:15 and one is mixed with bottom shelf tequila.
04:18 Question one.
04:19 Your astrological sign is Cancer.
04:21 Name three of your castmates who are also Cancers.
04:24 Saucy Schroeder, we have the same birthday.
04:26 Jax Taylor, July 11th.
04:28 Tom Sandoval, July 7th.
04:29 Question two.
04:33 What is the first verse of Sheena's hit song,
04:35 "Good as Gold"?
04:36 ♪ I'll open Pandora's box for ya ♪
04:39 ♪ I'll bring the rock for ya ♪
04:41 ♪ We're gonna own the night ♪
04:43 ♪ Why don't we all go down swinging ♪
04:46 ♪ Feet to the ground singing ♪
04:48 ♪ This beat makes me come alive ♪
04:50 ♪ Because we're good as gold ♪
04:54 - Well.
04:55 (laughing)
04:56 Well, that was beautiful.
04:58 But you did mess up the words.
04:59 - I messed up the words!
05:01 What?
05:02 What did I mess up?
05:03 - It's, "How 'bout we all go down."
05:06 - How 'bout we.
05:07 Okay, I messed up the words.
05:09 It's, "How 'bout we all go down swinging."
05:12 So here we go.
05:14 I'm gonna start with the one that's in the same glass,
05:18 'cause something tells me that it's not the true one.
05:20 Okay, I can smell the tequila.
05:23 So you use Katie Maloney's trick,
05:27 which is breathe in, take a shot, breathe out.
05:29 Okay.
05:37 We survived.
05:40 Question three.
05:42 Name all of the ingredients in Sir's The Big Pinky Cocktail.
05:46 Lime, mint, cranberry, vodka,
05:50 obviously ice, and club soda.
05:53 With a straw.
05:53 Question four.
05:57 What season and episode did you first appear
05:59 on "Banner Pump Rules"?
06:01 Technically season one, but I don't know what episode.
06:04 So I have to take a shot.
06:05 Okay.
06:06 This one looks smaller.
06:11 I'm trying to pace myself.
06:13 I don't know if that's smart, but.
06:14 It smells different than the last one.
06:19 Maybe.
06:19 Is that the one?
06:27 - [Producer] That's the one.
06:28 - Oh, God.
06:29 Lord, oh, man.
06:35 It gets you on the back end.
06:37 At first it was like, okay, no.
06:40 Then it really settles into the throat.
06:43 Oh, man.
06:44 Okay.
06:45 Question five.
06:46 Name five of your "Banner Pump Rules" co-stars' podcasts.
06:51 Okay, I have 30 seconds.
06:52 Okay.
06:53 Give Them Lala, Shenanigans, Straight Up with Saucy,
06:57 Jackson, Brittany, They Do Something,
07:03 Kristen, I've listened to Kristen's,
07:09 but I, okay, I don't know the name.
07:11 Everybody Loves Tom.
07:14 Can I name, I had one.
07:18 No, damn it.
07:19 Okay.
07:21 I'll take this one.
07:23 It's like Jackson, Brittany, Takeover or something.
07:26 - [Producer] When Reality Hits with Jackson.
07:27 - Okay, I don't know why I was thinking Takeover.
07:30 - [Producer] And You're Gonna Love Me with Katie Maloney.
07:31 - You're gonna, duh.
07:33 - [Producer] And Kristen's with Sex, Love, and What Else.
07:35 - Oh, that's right.
07:37 I knew it was a long one.
07:38 Okay.
07:39 All right, that's round two.
07:46 Round three, the category is cheap shots.
07:52 I'll be taking literal cheap shots at everyone.
07:56 The drinks are spicy Marbs.
07:58 Four are made with Patron, my favorite.
08:01 And one has that nasty tequila,
08:03 the same one that made me almost barf in round two.
08:06 Oh, there's a special guest here.
08:09 Oh, okay.
08:12 Thank you.
08:14 - I didn't know that was happening.
08:17 Since I don't have to take these.
08:21 Special question.
08:25 What are my three most annoying traits?
08:27 - Three?
08:28 - Yeah, three, not one, but three.
08:30 - Okay, I can only really think of one.
08:32 - Oh, so, okay.
08:35 You thought I was just gonna take this shot?
08:38 You said earlier, you get up early.
08:41 All right, taking a shot.
08:43 Cheers.
08:46 Yeah, you should take one.
08:47 Stop, no, did you give me the one,
08:51 did you like guess that this one was the bad one?
08:53 - No, I'm not guessing, I'm going for the small one.
08:54 I gave you a small one.
08:55 - Oh, thank you, I appreciate you.
08:57 No, no, no, no, no.
09:01 What if yours is the cheap one?
09:02 Okay.
09:05 - I think it's not.
09:06 - Okay.
09:07 - That's okay, that's good.
09:13 Nope, maybe you got the wrong one.
09:16 - I don't feel good about that.
09:18 - You gave her the cheap one.
09:20 - Get the (beep) out of here.
09:21 (laughing)
09:24 That's what you get.
09:26 - There's a step right there.
09:26 - That's what you get.
09:27 That's what you get for giving me the cheap shot.
09:31 - Gotcha.
09:31 - Oh man.
09:33 I (beep) knew it.
09:34 That was disgusting.
09:36 Question two.
09:39 Rank the following from people you'd most to least
09:43 want to be stuck on a deserted island with and tell us why.
09:46 Okay, so the options are Sheena Shay, Lala Kent,
09:50 Tom Schwartz, and Kristen Doty.
09:52 I mean, there's one I don't want to be stuck with at all.
09:55 Okay, I think number one would be Kristen
09:59 because I feel like we would both be so set
10:03 on like making a plan, like figuring things out.
10:07 So I feel like she would be a good person to have first.
10:10 And then second, I would say Sheena
10:13 because I feel as though she would be like
10:17 trying to look on the bright side.
10:18 And I feel like that would be like a really nice thing
10:21 as well to have when we're probably gonna die, right?
10:24 And then Lala, first of all,
10:28 if she could just walk around naked, that would be great.
10:30 Tom Schwartz, I don't want there at all.
10:33 Completely useless.
10:34 No, thanks.
10:34 Question three.
10:38 You recently attended BravoCon.
10:40 Which Bravo Leberty were you most disappointed by?
10:43 I feel like I'm gonna have to take a shot
10:46 because I met a lot more Bravo Leberties this time.
10:49 Some of them seem like so rich and glamorous
10:52 and I'm not really sure if they're gonna be nice.
10:55 And then they were all like just really lovely.
10:59 And so, you know, like I was sitting next to Marlo
11:01 at the Bravo's, she was so kind.
11:03 And Kenya came up and said such nice things.
11:06 And Candace is my girl.
11:08 Maybe if I have to pick someone to be disappointed by,
11:11 I'll just be like, just to have, no, I can't do it.
11:14 All right, I'm taking a shot.
11:16 All right.
11:18 Well, at least I know that one was a cheap one.
11:19 So it's all uphill from here.
11:22 Or is that, should I say downhill?
11:24 (upbeat music)
11:26 It's getting more difficult to do.
11:33 Okay.
11:37 Question four.
11:40 Name the worst cocktail and food item
11:43 on the menu at TomTom and tell us why.
11:47 I really like the cocktails and the food there.
11:49 I'm trying to think of the worst cocktail.
11:52 I can't, I don't remember.
11:54 I haven't been there in a long time, you guys.
11:56 Like I don't really know.
12:00 Worst food.
12:01 I have to take a shot.
12:02 I don't really (beep) remember what's there.
12:04 Okay.
12:05 You want the answer, ask Logan Cochran.
12:11 Okay, question five.
12:14 After your breakup, tell us which celebrities
12:16 slid into your DMs to shoot their shot
12:18 and show us what they said.
12:19 No one has slid into the DMs.
12:22 I have nothing to show.
12:25 I mean, people, you know, like nice people,
12:28 but not like, no one ever did that.
12:31 I've done a one-shot, so I'll sip it for that.
12:34 Because I answered honestly.
12:36 It's just that there's no one.
12:38 And every time I get asked that,
12:42 I feel a little bad about myself,
12:44 'cause I'm like, why didn't that happen?
12:46 Would have been at least like a fun story to tell
12:48 right here on this game.
12:50 You know, on the other funsies.
12:54 And that is cheap shots with Cosmo.
12:57 And I took nearly all of them.
13:01 Well guys, now that I'm sufficiently buzzed.
13:04 Oh, and I just had tacos too, oh God.
13:11 Well guys, now that I'm sufficiently buzzed,
13:16 it's been great, it's been cheap,
13:18 it's been real, and this has been cheap shots with Cosmo.
13:22 And I am Ariana Maddix.
13:24 Oh, and I have a cocktail book, oh my God.
13:28 And I have a cocktail book out.
13:29 Right now it's called Single AF Cocktails,
13:32 cocktails for, wait, no, that's not what it's called.
13:35 It's called-
13:36 That's right.
13:38 Single AF Cocktails, Drinks for Bad Bitches.
13:41 And if you're watching this right now,
13:43 you are a bad bitch, so check out my book.
