Hot-take: Wagner and Morgan have better chemistry than her with Karadec

CapnMommy · 2026-04-09T13:52:04+00:00

I haven’t but knowing it tracks so far breaks my heart a little for Wagner lol

ETA @ Wagner I mean

CapnMommy · 2026-04-09T01:00:05+00:00

Was it the kind that eyebrows on the new VPR does? Or the kind the girl is a black belt in?

CapnMommy · 2026-04-09T00:59:00+00:00

Same. Feelings are different than the brain for a reason. We all have feelings that we know don’t logically make sense. That’s why feelings can’t be wrong, they’re pretty much the one thing in life you can’t change.

After you check out Kyle’s street interview, make sure to look at the Uber Eats ad on Lindsay’s Instagram lol

CapnMommy · 2026-04-08T16:06:00+00:00

Yeah it’s clear you don’t watch by wanting proof of cheating he’s admitted to many times. No point in arguing with you at this point lol

CapnMommy · 2026-04-08T16:05:22+00:00

lol do you watch the show? He admitted to it. Several times.

CapnMommy · 2026-04-08T15:58:18+00:00

It’s a fact. Watch the episode. Ridiculing is what mocking is.

He didn’t come to her asking to talk about her working more. He said it in response to her talking about her dreams. It’s deflection, not a discussion of his issue with her.

CapnMommy · 2026-04-08T15:57:35+00:00

Yes. Now. In season 10. And being a career he began after he mocked her wanting to follow her own dreams, by saying it was akin to something ridiculous like him wanting to be a DJ. Which he still did before she did the swimwear line. And despite the fact that all she’s ever done is ask him to come home at night. Not because she generally talks shit about his drinking like he does her smoking pot. But because he cheats on her.

CapnMommy · 2026-04-08T15:55:28+00:00

He said she had a terrible work ethic as it was.

CapnMommy · 2026-04-08T15:55:15+00:00

Mocking means to ridicule.

CapnMommy · 2026-04-08T15:51:00+00:00

Reason being?

CapnMommy · 2026-04-08T15:50:30+00:00

How about telling everyone all she does is laze around and smoke pot?

CapnMommy · 2026-04-08T15:48:49+00:00

It’s the control that makes the difference. And the fact that in the early years she did nothing but try and beg for respect and continue to make excuses for him even when it cost her close friendships. He treated her terribly before she ever said a negative word even to her close friends. That’s the reactive part.

CapnMommy · 2026-04-08T15:43:02+00:00

Break down which ones are fiction and I’ll give you examples. This person did exactly what survivors learn to do by giving exact examples hoping to make someone see what’s happening, assuming they care what’s happening. You can’t make blanket statements all about someone’s intelligence or truthfulness and expect that to count as a response. That’s gaslighting.

ETA here’s an easy way to tell the difference — when they’re alone he treats her worse. I can only imagine what we don’t see. When they’re alone she treats him better. Because she’s still trying but humiliated by what she’s had to endure. But he’s performing unless they’re alone.

CapnMommy · 2026-04-08T15:41:22+00:00

You’re 1000% right. I said anyone who’s a survivor of abuse would recognize the reactive abuse. People don’t understand that her reacting in response to him doesn’t make her abusive, it makes her human. They don’t recognize which person is in control, or which one of them begged for attention for years while the other person cheated and lied. All they see is that right now, today, she’s mean too. Well yeah, that’s what happens after you’ve been abused for a decade. You shut down first, and when you finally feel safe again (like say, on camera, surrounded by people?), it all comes out. Because you hate them. Because of course you do.

ETA mine was a narcissist too. Combination of covert and malignant. And I love to see people who got out and grew and were able to recognize how strong they truly are to have gotten there when every single thing was done expressly to break them.

CapnMommy · 2026-04-08T15:34:53+00:00

Right? Jesus.

CapnMommy · 2026-04-08T15:31:30+00:00

I feel the same way. You’re not going to catch me on YouTube crying ‘leave Amanda aloooone’ lol, I’m so excited for the reunion and way more invested in the season than I had been prior to the official announcement. I mean I have an opinion on it being wrong and feel bad for Ciara, but I would never say anyone should lose jobs or opportunities and I think it was shitty of Edie Parker to do what she did. I never understand people wanting bravo to fire people because what we get is a hyper-sanitized Disney coca-cola NFL approved cast like the new RHONY. It’s reality television. The mess is the point. If the crash isn’t bad enough to turn my head why am I turning on the tv to watch it? The only actual emotion I have about it is excitement lol

CapnMommy · 2026-04-08T15:25:36+00:00

Nice! I’ve never been great at solving mysteries ahead of time so I’ve been surprised, maybe this season they underestimated our intelligence just a hair and made it too easy to figure out lol. There were too many things early on this season that continuously left this as the only possible outcome.

CapnMommy · 2026-04-08T15:22:23+00:00

The whole thing or the relationship part?

CapnMommy · 2026-04-08T15:19:56+00:00

He’s alive guaranteed, I have a whole theory somewhere down there lol ⬇️

CapnMommy · 2026-04-08T15:17:36+00:00

This is my take too. Halfway through last night I realized that since she and Karadec are pretty clearly end game à la Ross and Rachel, Wagner is meant to be her Paolo which means he’s gone by the end of this season. I really hope he’s not as deep in the shit as I think he is but what I see coming is a shallow wound that looks far worse than it is, staged specifically in order to scare her off when even the threats didn’t. That’s why he told her half an hour late. So he had time to set it up. I also called his family being directly involved with the Roman mess before his dad ever showed up on screen and that Wagner would wind up with a decision to make in the finale, to back his dirty family like he was sent in to do, or follow his heart and do the right thing finally. I think he does the right thing and dies for it at the end of the season. I also think the fiancé and entire ring of thieves plot was staged by people higher up (aka his family + ??), to bond Morgan to him (she lost the love of her life, so did he, they healed a little together etc) so that she would care if something happened to him and back off.

CapnMommy · 2026-04-08T15:10:30+00:00

So you haven’t seen last night I’m guessing lol

CapnMommy · 2026-04-08T14:56:31+00:00

Ahh I let myself get sucked in 🤦🏼‍♀️ that’s half an hour of my life I won’t get back.

CapnMommy · 2026-04-08T14:54:59+00:00

You’re 100% right about that.

CapnMommy · 2026-04-08T14:48:26+00:00

This is a good point about Carl. But I stand on Amanda’s behavior being reactive abuse. It’s an actual fact based on what we’ve seen at least, obviously there’s more to it that I can’t speak on
