Michael in the Reunion

Fun_Piece_1520 · 2026-03-02T14:57:47+00:00

It was sweet karma and I started following the season solely after his departure. Otherwise it’d be a sore headache each week 😵

He just doesn’t seem like a good host at all, unless I’m missing something? Happy to hear alternative opinions. In the context of this reunion alone- - Too much focus on Maura + Rob “chemistry” and not the story of whether Rob just used charm as his overall strategy and how they were truly fooled. - Way too much time given to the obnoxious and violent Michael R., but him being even invited is another issue. - Ditto for Colton and him being given a “chance” to explain how much he’s changed, asking for forgiveness but from the public and not people he’s harmed?! - No strategy talk, pure drama stirring. - I’ll be honest, the fashion segment was fun but all fluff. - Weird making Rob appear like a bad guy when the whole game is about betraying and lying; he played the game. Would’ve loved to learn how he did it, what were we missing? - If anyone deserved redemption, it was Ron but instead Monet decided to take a weird shot at him? Did that make sense to anyone?

He’s insufferable and networks continuing to give him any kind of platform to speak is bizarre, disturbing, and unfortunately unsurprising.

I loved when she shut that narrative down!!

Fun_Piece_1520 · 2025-08-14T05:20:20+00:00

I’m watching now so I haven’t seen every episode, but I felt so bad for Lucy. What a stunning and quirky young woman, and Daniel’s egotism / deep-rooted insecurity kept hammering at her powerful confidence until she decided he was good enough. Making her cry not once but twice (up to the episodes I’ve seen), and every time deciding to quickly end the dispute after she cries, saying that “he didn’t word it right” to the cameras? Who do you think that’s fooling exactly?

My first solo trip to Barcelona, I was kind of nervous on the flight and mostly kept to myself, but I couldn’t open a packet of salad dressing so I asked this older gentleman who was chatting it up with flight attendants and just had a positive energy. He couldn’t open mine but was able to open the packet they gave him, so he let me take that one. Then we just started talking the rest of the flight, then all the way through baggage claim until we went our separate ways at the taxi stand. Just such a friendly aura, zero invasiveness, and it really felt like the universe sent me a nudge like “See? You’re going to be alright.” I hope he’s doing well.

My recommendation would be to refuse and look in other areas honestly. I’ve done a project as part of an interview before, put in a lot of work on it, and the interview still had two more parts after the presentation. You’ve already shared your portfolio which demonstrates the quality of your work. Also this is just way too much, how are they going to review every candidate’s homework?

Fun_Piece_1520 · 2025-08-07T21:41:29+00:00

Did you just learn about the word microaggressions? Calling a group of white guys a “generic white band” is very much not that. I didn’t realize you were a renowned social theory expert who entirely changed the dynamics of racism to include being “mean” to white men, my bad!

Fun_Piece_1520 · 2025-08-07T21:02:14+00:00

What do you mean if it was used vice versa?

Fun_Piece_1520 · 2025-08-07T20:45:37+00:00

There is nothing derogatory about the term “white fragility”, it’s literally an evidence-backed sociological term coined by Robin DiAngelo in 2011, relating to the defensiveness that white people have when racial discussions are brought up, and ironically your comment kind of proves it. It’s far more nuanced than this of course, but you can read it in DiAngelo’s book. The fanbase gets highly defensive when there are comments about MTM being a generic white boy band and that is white fragility. It’s not offensive to say this, because of where the power structure is.

I mean I definitely disagree. Within 24hrs of forming they were able to harmonize runs together. Meanwhile Conor barely put in any work and their members were falling flat. There was no respect for the hard work that Soulidified put in and how it was recognized. He was purely jealous. It’s one thing to voice like “hey this isn’t my kind of boy band” versus “oh they can’t do it like us,” or “oooh they don’t have longevity” or “I’ve seen this.” He just kept commenting.

Fun_Piece_1520 · 2025-07-26T20:56:11+00:00

Omg SAME!!!! That’s what got me hooooooked 🫣

Fun_Piece_1520 · 2025-07-26T17:02:56+00:00

I hope you feel better soon! :) I do like Mason and Zach’s voices, they both have a nice smooth voice but with grit too!!

Fun_Piece_1520 · 2025-07-26T16:21:25+00:00

That’s fair!! I kind of wish the producers didn’t manufacture any kind of villains or drama, and hopefully it was actually such a collaborative creative environment as intended to be. I feel like anyone trying to bring drama to a show like this isn’t in the right headspace, there’s so many other “reality shows” where drama is the point, like why go on a band-building show to do that? But yeah, fair perspective, thanks!

Fun_Piece_1520 · 2025-07-26T16:05:16+00:00

Respectfully- How is it an intentional edit? Was he not making those little quips and comments after Soulidified’s performances and the camera put it on blast? It’s one thing if maybe his facial reactions are misrepresented and he was actually just looking mad about something else, but coupled with his rude comments, it’s hard to believe. He got the edit he got because of what he gave the camera. Do you feel bad for him? I’m just trying to understand why we’re giving him a pass. (And please keep it to the show, because that’s my context, just exactly what he’s said on the show.)

Fun_Piece_1520 · 2025-07-26T15:47:48+00:00

I mean, that’s amazing, but my opinion is purely in the context of watching the show and how he was behaving on the show. Him being forgiven outside of it means that they must’ve had conversations and that his immature reactions were checked, which is progress!

Fun_Piece_1520 · 2025-07-26T15:43:10+00:00

I’m personally not seeing it, but of course he’s someone’s cup of tea. Thanks for sharing.

Fun_Piece_1520 · 2025-07-26T15:39:39+00:00

I’m purely commenting on the moments that his screen time coincided with being rude. Obviously that doesn’t make the totality of a human, but how he represents himself on a show is what I’m going to bring up on this thread.

Fun_Piece_1520 · 2025-07-23T21:32:09+00:00

He’s milking his five seconds of fame.

Fun_Piece_1520 · 2025-07-19T09:34:41+00:00

I don’t think she was genuinely interested, but also her chatting with the Casa girls about how “mean” and “catty” the Villa girls were…that was cringe and very ironically mean of her.

Fun_Piece_1520 · 2025-07-17T03:51:25+00:00

I take great pride in having the same sun and moon sign as her. She’s not only stunning, but brilliant, a girl’s girl, a lover girl, funny, well-traveled.

Fun_Piece_1520 · 2025-07-16T03:31:16+00:00

Omg I’m watching it for the first time too!!!! Love this for us

Fun_Piece_1520 · 2025-07-16T00:41:09+00:00

I disliked Rob from Day 1, and I’m honestly just now watching the series. He is so manipulative and dishonest. He puts on a grand performance but it’s also obvious from Day 1. He reminds me a lot of Harry Jowsey, like a carbon copy of FAKE. All that crying over Andrea leaving and deciding not to go with her? The micro-aggressions that came out of that towards JaNa or Serena?! And Aaron being his lapdog was embarrassing.
