The Valley’s off to a rousing start. Jax Taylor, Brittany Cartwright, and Kristen Doute all clocked in, as expected from their time spent on Vanderpump Rules. Their full-time costars also brought the drama, securing their modern farmhouse mortgage payments in turn. Even still, it’s their lesser-aired friends, Jasmine Goode and Zack Wickham, who caught my eye (yep, singular, ‘sup allergy season) the most.

Their scenes are small. Yet, with the ability to pop up and then quickly exit at random, they have the best gig out of everyone on this entire cast, in my opinion at least. So who exactly are Jasmine and Zack? And why do these two friends of the cast look so familiar? Let’s dive in.

Just Jasmine

Originally from San Francisco, California, Jasmine danced for her home team, The Golden State Warriors. She’s also cheered for the Dallas Cowboys, which isn’t easy. I watched that series, where thousands of women venture to Texas, all vying for a spot on the squad. Let’s just say, I could never.

Following this, Jasmine worked at SUR as a waitress. However, she never filmed for VPR. This blows. But hey, at least we have her now.

These days, Jasmine is an ambitious budding realtor. Online, she often posts her current listings, which I love. I don’t know why, but lurking around at how other people live, well, it’s basically my creepy passion. So, hey Jasmine hey, I’m following you now, bestie.

Jasmine’s career will be her main storyline on The Valley this season. Here, her trajectory will be aided by Michelle Lally, her mentor and full-time costar. You see, Michelle owns her real estate firm, and with offices on both coasts, she’s clearly a seasoned professional. When not filming with Michelle, Jasmine’s prone to hanging out with her best friend and costar, Brittany.

Zinger Zack

Zack is another one of Brittany’s besties. These two met while attending nearby colleges in the state of Kentucky, so he knows Britt better than most. As for his education, Zach attended The University of Louisville, where he studied communications. In addition to his tightly-formed friendship with Brittany, Zack is also close to the chaos that is Kristen.

As the only single, gay male on this series, Zack’s scenes will likely be entertaining to watch. That said, Zack’s one-liners, which feel borderline scripted, are giving off notes of “boy who’s waited his entire life to star on Bravo.” Cue “She is the Queen of England because she’s dead to me!” Maybe Zack knows where Kate Middleton is…

Also, Zack’s giving solid Robbie Rotten from LazyTown vibes, no?

Jasmine’s been on our screens before

Jasmine’s very familiar-looking, no? This is because she’s a seasoned reality television star from the Bachelor Nation. This will serve her well in her scenes with the other vets, who are all quick with the drama and the clap-backs.

First, Jasmine appeared on The Bachelor Season 21. Here, she and Nick Viall parted ways in week 6. However, she still stood out. Therefore, the producers brought her back to film for Bachelor in Paradise Season 4.

True love escaped her there as well, sadly. Luckily, Jasmine eventually found her one off-air, as she is now in a long-term relationship with her girlfriend, Melissa Marie. Online, Jasmine posts up with Melissa often, and we hope to see more of their relationship on The Valley.

Zack’s also been spotted here and there

Oh yeah, Zack’s also a non-stranger to the cameras. In Vanderpump Rules Season 8, Zack was asked to be in Brittany’s wedding party. As her walk down the aisle to Jax consumed this entire season, Zack got decent camera time, and I think he more than loved this attention. In fact, it’s almost like he was vying for a spot on this series, because honey, the drama that this man produced as just a guest was something else.

As Brittany’s dealing with the stressors of having to spend her entire life with the mess that is Jax, Zack unfollowed her online. “Everyone in LA can go f*ck themselves. I’m done and have no time for what I just went thru. Have fun without me.” he wrote in his Instagram stories, which Reddit kept the receipts on.

“When ur best friend decides you’re a problem, then it’s time to say f*ck it. Figure everything out without me… see if that’s possible… I’m done and Louisville is home gotta go now.. bye,” Zach ended, sounding very, very dramatic, and also, very, very on par with the VPR cast.

Luckily, Brittany and Zack healed their wounds, and Zack made it to the stage for her big day. Now, Zack’s big day has arrived. He’s officially a cast member on The Valley, in a friend-of-capacity. If my guess is correct, he’ll be bringing a fiery energy to this new series, and I’m here for it, for now.

TELL US – IN YOUR OPINION, HOW WILL JASMINE AND ZACK FARE ON THE VALLEY?
