Oliver James Montgomery-Nick Viall Claims Tom Sandoval Showed "Endearing" Photos of Raquel Leviss to Special Forces Cast

Nick Viall is Oliver James MontgomerySUR-ving up some piping hot tea on Tom Sandoval.

In fact, The Bachelor alum recently suggested that the Vanderpump Rules star, with whom he appears on season two of Special Forces: World's Toughest Test, still has feelings for Raquel Leviss following their scandalous affair and went as far as to showcase his affection while filming the Fox reality show.

"He snuck in pictures of him and Rachel and he showed them to the cast, for what's that worth," Viall said of the TomTom co-owner on the Aug. 3 episode of his The Viall Files podcast. "You weren't allowed to sneak things in. I would have loved to sneak in a picture of [my fiancée] Natalie [Joy] and I. I guess I could have tried but I just didn't."

The 40-year-old also claimed Sandoval boasted about Leviss to the rest of the cast.

"He went out of his way to bring in, like, endearing photos of him and Raquel/Rachel and show them around," Viall continued. "He came across as a guy who cared about her, and I'm just saying that objectively."

And, according to the Bachelor Nation member, Sandoval's fellow celebrity contestants encouraged him to continue pursuing the former beauty queen following his breakup from Ariana Madix.

"Honestly, the conversations with the cast were kinda like, ‘Well, f--k, you might as well go for it.'" Viall shared following the Scandoval backlash. "There seemed to be some real reluctance about would the public would allow them to be together."

Although Sandoval and Leviss haven't shared where their relationship currently stands five months after the cheating controversy came to light, Viall noted, "Not too long ago he seemed emotionally invested in Rachel in an environment where he wasn't incentivized to portray that narrative."

While Sandoval was filming Special Forces in between VPR's 10th and 11th seasons this spring, Leviss spent two months at a mental health facility in Arizona receiving treatment. It's unclear if she'll appear on the Bravo series' upcoming season.

Filming for Vanderpump Rules season 11 began in late June just weeks after the explosive three-part season 10 finale finished airing. Ariana Madix was even spotted letting loose while shooting at her ex's restaurant TomTom.

"Dj James Kennedy is playin' a set at tomtom," TikTok user audpen wrote June 30 with a video of Madix dancing inside the West Hollywood eatery. "Ariana is as gorgeous as ever living her best life, and the whole crowd chants for her. The world is good." 

On July 6, Tom Sandoval was seen filming for the first time since Scandoval. The 40-year-old dropped flowers off at Lisa Vanderpump's now-closed West Hollywood hot-spot PUMP, which shut its doors this summer.

Season 11 will surely highlight the opening of Madix and Katie Maloney's new West Hollywood sandwich shop Something About Her, which is supposed to open this summer amid filming. The BFFs have shared plenty of sneak peeks inside their latest business venture on social media.

Four months after filming their shocking season 10 reunion showdown, the exes were spotted filming together on July 11 at SUR's weekly See You Next Tuesday event with several of their costars. 

Bravo fans will have to wait and see as to whether Madix and Sandoval actually interacted during the outing.

It's still unconfirmed if Raquel Leviss will appear on season 11 in the wake of her and Sandoval's cheating scandal. On July 14, the former beauty queen checked out of a mental health facility in Wickenburg, Arizona after two months. Since then, she has been staying at a friend's house.

On July 18, Scheana Shay and husband Brock Davies, James Kennedy and girlfriend Ally Lewber, Tom Schwartz, Sandoval and Lala Kent jetted off to Lake Tahoe for a summer getaway, marking the cast's first post-Scandoval vacation.

Shay and Kent shared Instagram Stories from their luxury lakeside rental. As for where they stand with Sandoval…

Although Shay and Sandoval were photographed posing with a fan alongside their costars in Tahoe, the "Good as Gold" singer clarified she has not totally forgiven the TomTom co-owner for his affair.

Retweeting a video of Sandoval from her Instagram, Shay wrote July 19, "Who said all is forgiven?? We are all here for Lisa."

She added in response to another social media user questioning if they were friends again, "I'm posing in a photo for a fan. I take photos w strangers on the daily and have my arm bent up behind ppl. End of story. Should I look miserable in a group fan photo I got thrown in walking to our car?"

While in town, the cast checked out Vanderpump's new club Wolf at Harrah's, meaning fans will definitely get a look at the restauranteur's new Tahoe business venture next season.

In videos shared to social media, Shay, Davies, Kent, Sandoval, Schwartz, Kennedy and Lewber even helped knock down walls inside the venue during renovations.

Several weeks after Leviss finished her stay at a treatment facility, Kennedy announced their dog Graham, who they rescued in 2018 while still dating, was back in his custody.

"Look who made his way back home, back into my life," the DJ wrote in a July 19 Instagram along with two adorable photos. "I'll take care of you forever and I love you."

As it was announced in early July that Madix is officially joining season 32 of Dancing With the Stars, we can only hope we'll get a behind-the-scenes look at her ballroom prep.

While the cast was filming their Tahoe trip, Madix flew to Fiji to make a special appearance on her favorite show Love Island USA.
