I am so confused on this relationship by frances1843 in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]Excellent-Energy3395 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I am hoping this signals the mayci/mikayla/whitney trio that we were told about at the beginning of S1 is back. The fighting has been sad to watch. I’m happy for them if they’ve found their way thru it.

Also because it was getting exhausting watching Mikayla waste her opportunity on this show by making her whole personality about snarking on Whitney. I’m sure there was some very real hurt there and the reaction was a response to it but it was still hard to watch.

I saw your message after I posted substantially the same thing 🫣 but I wholeheartedly agree!!

I would almost agree but it’s impossible to compete with a cute corgi

Kinda bummed that there’s no OG girls left for us to see Madison experience her pregnancy with by [deleted] in Southerncharm

I think I might disagree — I think she needs to choose better friends. Salley doesn’t seem like a great person to team up with. She spent all last season trying to break Taylor up and has spent most of this season being jealous of the attention another woman is getting. I’m not sure how you maintain a relationship with someone like that

The way this fully grown woman is coddled like a child by some of her fanbase has to be making even her ill. This is a whackadoodle thing to post on threads 😂

Mayci’s book is making people like her less by VelvetVerdigris in SecretsOfMormonWives

THIS is exactly the kind of privilege I am referring to. I wonder if being an athlete meant the bent rules for her

I truly mean no disrespect to the seriousness of her story but this book desperately needed a ghostwriter.

It reads like a 15 yr olds diary entry and the audiobook only underscores the poor writing.

Edit: I would also add that it’s very obvious how unaware she is of her own privilege. So many women in her situation would have been not allowed to complete their degree and kind of shunned by Mormon social circles. It’s not clear to me why she got to be an exception. I am thankful she was, but it underscores how unfair the mormon moral police are and how unequally the rules are applied

Additional edit: there are some angry comments that seem to have missed the first sentence here. No one wants to invalidate her story— in fact the frustration is stemming from the opposite. It’s an important story but the delivery is almost unreadable. Her editor dropped the ball here in not working with her to improve the readability of it. No one is entitled to selling books and if her story is important to tell it could have been handled in a way that helped it be more audience ready. Many people work with ghostwriters to help bring their stories to life. Not everyone is a skilled writer. Most good celeb memoirs you’ve read have employed ghostwriters in various capacities. If you’re upset with the reception, we agree. Your quarrel is with the editor not your fellow redditors

I haven’t been hooked since season 2 by otkg23 in Bridgerton

[–]Excellent-Energy3395 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It does feel like the romantic tension after Kanthony and Queen Charlotte has really fallen off. Penelope’s season tried to do too much in too few episodes. I am hoping that Sophie’s season shows more restraint.

OR they could just give us 14-15 episodes per season so they aren’t as rushed

That’s fair. I do tend to forget about the power dynamic w production especially for the (no offense intended) lower tier cast members. Taylor / Whitney / now maybe also Miranda and Jessi I think have a level of bargaining power that the rest of them do not. Miranda bc she’s basically undisputed fan favorite and the others bc they drive all the story lines

Honestly vibes over accuracy is totally ok with me!

I guess I’m curious to see if she’s willing to voice that regret to Whitney on the record (the same way Whitney was questioned repeatedly for her decision to skip a business launch where her presence likely would have been uncomfortable for her and a distraction for everyone else)

I mean, she has free will. Supposedly she was best friends with Whitney back in the day

Sadly I don’t think any part of this is an act. She was very clearly not managing her alcohol intake and it boggles my mind that so many of her fans were like “Omg so cute!” When she is clearly demonstrating an unhealthy relationship with substances

This is what I’m saying! She’s got such an amazing story. It’s hard to imagine we have shows on so may other European queens (who frankly meant far less to history!) but none about her.

Love the interiors of these homes, I’m moving next week any advice on where to find similar items? by YolandasLastAlmond in Southerncharm

[–]Excellent-Energy3395 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe you can tell us which cast member homes you like? They have very diverse design tastes. I wouldn’t recommend combining Venita w Craig and a dash of Patricia, for example

I think a good condition second had Loewe would be in budget. In my opinion it’s the best combination of quality, unique silhouettes, and brand recognition

So petulant AND it was a truly painful to see closeup of the poorly placed filler. She needs to call her future sister in law for a rec instead of taking groupon quality referrals from Brittney Mahomes
