The 'Pump Rules' Bar Crawl Is A Reality TV Bonanza
On Wednesday evening, thousands of miles east of the sexiest, most unique restaurant in West Hollywood, a SURtain group of Bravolebrities celebrated the upcoming season of their series in a most fitting way: a booze-fueled adventure with their fans. Just a few days before the Season 5 premiere, the Vanderpump Rules cast hosted a bar crawl in Manhattan, and though I did not attend the #VanderCrawl (of all the nights to live on the opposite coast, am I right?), I was there in spirit. And by "I was there in spirit," I mean "I scrolled through Instagram photos and tweets from the evening." During my social media excursion, I was as pleased as a Pumptini to see that Pumpers Jax Taylor, Scheana Shay, Stassi Schroeder, Kristen Doute, Tom Sandoval, Ariana Madix, Katie Maloney, and Tom Schwartz were joined by some other notable reality television faces: The Bachelor/ette’s very own JoJo Fletcher, Jordan Rodgers, Ashley Iaconetti, and Olivia Caridi. Yes, Vanderpump Rules and The Bachelor partied together.
Oh, you think that is exciting? Then you might want to hold onto your Club Karma hat for this: Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola went to the VanderCrawl, too. I repeat: The worlds of Vanderpump Rules, The Bachelor, and Jersey Shore collided at a Pump Rules bar crawl. The only way to make the reality TV trifecta of Pump Rules, Jersey Shore, and The Bachelor better would be — oh wait, this reality TV trifecta could not be better.
Ready to be overwhelmed by some tweets? Here we go.

Er, Bachelor Nation and Jersey Shore have Pump Fever. Clearly, greatness recognizes greatness.
The only thing wrong with The Great VanderCrawl Reality TV Trifecta of 2k16? The timing. So bummed it happened after Pump Rules Season 5 filming wrapped.
