My brother’s joke made me realise the truth about being a quadruplet

‘Bro, you’re just using being a quadruplet to get your five minutes of fame,’ Pablo complained. ‘And three days of luxury in a chateau!’ I added quickly. It was May 2024 and I’d been trying to convince my three brothers that appearing on the Vanderpump Rules spin-off, Vanderpump Villa, was indeed a good thing.

I argued we’d be ‘guests of honour’, mere spectators to any drama in the show – unlike the hotel staff who were on the payroll for the plot – and that it was an obvious opportunity. ‘I suggest we all watch an episode of the show,’ Lorenzo suggested. ‘I’m sure Jamie wouldn’t sign us up for anything trashy.’.

I sneered at him. He knew full well I would, and I had. Vanderpump Villa, much like reality shows such as Selling Sunset and Below Deck, spotlights the staff as its stars as they deliver extravagant experiences for special guests all while documenting the inevitable drama that comes from living where they work.

These shows have become just as culturally ubiquitous as the show’s namesake, Lisa Vanderpump, a former cast member of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills – and I would have given anything to be on it.
