Talk about walking into the lion’s den.

Vanderpump Rules season 8 is adding fresh meat to the cast for the first time since season 6: SURvers Brett Caprioni, Charli Burnett and Dayna Kathan, SUR assistant manager Danica Dow, and TomTom general manager Max Boyen.

PEOPLE caught up with Brett, Dayna and Max on Wednesday at SUR in West Hollywood, where the newcomers opened up about what joining the hit reality show has been like — and whether they have any regrets.
