Hello everyone.

Welcome to everything iconic with me Danny Pellegrino. I'm here with

Katie Maloney of Avander Pump Rules. Katie, how are you? I'm good, how are you? I'm

excited to chat with you. How are you feeling about the season so far?

Because it feels like there's a lot of intensity.

Obviously your show has a loyal fan base,

but this season in particular has felt a little nuts,

at least from my perspective, when it comes to some of the

reaction how are you feeling about it? I mean yeah I think intense is definitely the

word that's how it felt filming it. You know, I think coming off the heels of the scandal of it all,

you know, it was definitely felt throughout the group or what was left of it. It was felt very fractured and I don't think anyone knew what to expect. I think we were just going and being like, well, we'll just see how it goes. And it was just, yeah, it was not the best time.

Do you wish there was a little more time in between the scandal and when you picked up filming again?

I mean, I always wish there's a little bit more breathing room in between seasons even though it feels like there's a lot of lag time between

seasons from when you see the last episode to when you see the first episode of the new season.

But this season in particular, yeah, I wish we could have had a little more time for sure.

Right. I want to talk about some of the storylines going on. Of course, the past couple of weeks we saw you in Tory tell me about like how did that

even start and was it real was that you know I know I think a lot of people think it

was very like producer driven but no it wasn't I think I think anything

they were like really okay well then sure I guess this is gonna happen because I didn't

know that Tori and Schwartz had a thing or they were

talking because I had started to have more conversations with her when we be

out even not on camera you know just she was coming around the group more and so I was just like, oh, she's really cute.
