Ariana Madix sat unmoved as Tom Sandoval and DJ James Kennedy competed in a push-up contest at BravoCon in Las Vegas on Friday.
Tom and Ariana dated for nine years until their relationship went up in flames this March when she discovered he was having an affair with their co-star Raquel Leviss.
James meanwhile dated Raquel for five years and was even engaged to her for part of 2021, but was infamously unfaithful to her.
The years of complicated history bubbled up into the public eye onstage at BravoCon when James challenged Tom to a push-up contest and won.
As the two shirtless heartthrobs proved their mettle on the floor, Ariana, 38, looked determinedly the other way, in footage an audience member posted to TikTok.

Putting in the hours: James, for his part, credited his chiseled torso to his clean lifestyle, in which he has eschewed alcohol in favor of regular exercise
Evidently the competition was instigated by host Andy Cohen, who complimented the brace of beefcakes on their sculpted physiques.
James, for his part, credited his chiseled torso to his clean lifestyle, in which he has eschewed alcohol in favor of regular exercise.
He peeled off his shirt to display the results of his work, then egged Tom on to see who could do more push-ups, according to TMZ.
Tom, shirtless and wearing a blue kilt, hit the floor opposite James and the two men vied for victory in front of a rapturous audience.
'Jump scare…I needed a trigger warning,' Ariana joked, refusing to look at the contest and turning instead to her co-star Katie Maloney next to her.
Backstage at BravoCon, Ariana also found time for a few 'crossover moments' with Andy, Katie and Summer House blonde Lindsay Hubbard.
Ariana rocked a racy outfit as she kicked off the first day of BravoCon, hosted at Caesars Forum in Las Vegas on Friday, with a bang.
The Vanderpump Rules star, 38, went braless underneath a crisp white shirt which she left unbuttoned, and tucked into her black mini skirt.

The entertainer - who accused her ex Tom Sandoval, 40, of trying to 'kill' her dog in the new season 11 trailer of the show - styled her look of the day with a black blazer and a multi-layer chain belt.
The reality TV beauty teamed the sizzling outfit with black stockings and past-the-knee black leather boots.
Madix wore her blonde tresses parted in the middle and slicked back for the event, and accessorized with diamond studs.
While inside she was seen posing with Jenni Pulos, Fraser Olender, Aesha Scott, Scheana Shay, Daisy Kelliher, and Katie Maloney.
Inside the Vanderpump panel - titled Sur’ving up the latest with Vanderpump Rules - Madix admitted that it was 'weird' to film Season 11, which wrapped in September.
'It was different. It was difficult and I’m glad that it’s behind me,' adding, 'The last year has showed me I can do hard things.'
Last season saw Sandoval's affair with Madix’s pal Raquel Leviss, 29, exposed, bringing about the end of their nine-year relationship, and Raquel leaving the show.
The panel marked the first time the group spoke in a public forum since their dramatic three-part reunion special.

Madix was joined by ex Sandoval as well as castmates Brock Davies, James Kennedy, Lala Kent, Ally Lewber, Maloney, Shay, Tom Schwartz and Lisa Vanderpump.
Sandoval was booed when he first spoke on the panel.
Meanwhile Lisa shared that she can't 'judge' the cast on 'one episode of their lives', and has maintained relationships with everyone, as per Deadline.
Everyone had a different description of the season, with Vanderpump calling it 'riveting', Madix calling it 'emo' and Lewber calling it 'sad.'
Meanwhile Kennedy added of the upcoming season, 'I think this season is going to be one of the craziest yet.'

Not invited: Leviss didn't even get the chance to turn down an invite to the Vanderpump Rules panel at BravoCon, because she wasn't invited
And in a notable moment Lala, Katie, Sandoval and Schwartz all raised their hands when asked if they were single, while Madix did not.
She has been romantically linked to personal trainer Daniel Wai since April. It came a month after it was revealed that she ended things with Sandoval.
Meanwhile Leviss didn't even get the chance to turn down an invite to the Vanderpump Rules panel because she wasn't invited - after quitting the show in the wake of the Scandoval affair.
TMZ reports the former beauty queen isn't on speaking terms with any of the cast, including Sandoval.
After not participating in the current season - which premieres in January - she isn't expected to be asked back for future seasons.
Earlier in the day Bravo released the explosive new trailer for season 11 of Vanderpump Rules.
In the clip Ariana has a tense confrontation with her ex Tom, as she accuses him of trying to 'kill' her dog.
'Ruin my life, my home and then attempt to kill my f******g dog, my lawyer will be dealing with you,' Madix says in a raised voice while speaking to Sandoval.
Meanwhile Lisa describes Sandoval's predicament in another scene: 'To lose his best friend, his business is up the creek, everything has gone wrong in his life.'
At the beginning of the clip, the cast members - including Sandoval, Madix, Katie, Scheana, and James - are pictured at the beach, as Kennedy draws a line in the sand with his foot, stating, 'That's Ariana's side, Sanodval side over there.'
'Don't go over the line!' he states.
Later Sandoval says 'I'm out' as he leaves the beach while Ariana laughs.

Accusations: In the clip Ariana has a tense confrontation with Tom, as she tells him: 'Ruin my life, my home and then attempt to kill my f******g dog, my lawyer will be dealing with you'
The scene is followed by Tom during what appears to be some form of therapy, with headphones covering his ears and an eye mask on, as a therapist holds a hand over his chest while Sandoval cries out.
It's followed by Scheana and Tom sharing a hug, with a voiceover from Katie who says, 'If you're going to be friends with him she's going to cut you off, so think about your next move very carefully.'
Meanwhile Ariana is pictured looking very distressed as she sits inside a restaurant booth. It's unclear what she is upset about, but she appears close to tears.
Ariana then confronts Sandoval about her dog, as she sits in her kitchen alongside Lala, while he looks on appearing confused.
The new season of Vanderpump Rules will officially premiere in January 2024
