A few months ago I got an email from Howard, a Vanderpump Rules super fan who was planning on proposing to his girlfriend Samantha. Howard was hoping for some kind of video from one of the Vanderpump Rules cast members that he could play for Samantha when he proposed to her. He was expecting something simple like a "Hey Samantha, Howard has a sexy unique question for you" but I took his idea and ran with it. Along with cast members Stassi Schroeder and Brittany Cartwright I shot a fake Vanderpump Rules scene where Stassi and Brittany started talking about Howard and Samantha by name. Howard surprised Samantha by swapping in this fake scene while watching an episode of the show before popping the question.
This podcast episode is the audio of an interview I did with Howard and Samantha after she said yes. I wanted to hear Samantha's perspective of how it all went down, and what she was thinking when Stassi and Brittany started talking about her on the "show". I also wanted to hear more from Howard about how he kept the secret from Samantha while filming his proposal on hidden camera.
Before you listen to this go watch the full story of their proposal here:
