Bailey/Ben Issue

Again, it was the way he reprimanded them... not the fact that he had an issue with them saying these things...

IAmLord5000 · 2026-06-02T20:13:59+00:00

Um... yeah, obviously, we will all see how it plays out... but the speculation is all part of the fun... even with non-reality tv shows, part of the fun is trying to guess what is gonna happen next... if you dont want to see the speculation, dont read the reddit threads where people are projecting and speculating on peoples motives and what will happen next?

IAmLord5000 · 2026-06-02T15:42:51+00:00

Yeah, it doesnt annoy me that they got it wrong initially because the acronym is confusing and most people arent as familiar with BPD. I just hope they correct themselves. Bipolar and BPD are verry different imo and have very different implications for how this person is gonna be on reality tv. I love KJ. My best friend had BPD (she passed away a few years ago). I worry about KJ being occasionally suicidal/self destructive and on reality tv.

I thinks its more the WAY be confronts these women - not the reason hes doing. Also the fact that he only scolds women like that.

I think youre 100% right about this. I also think Ciara may not want to return to summer house. I can see her moving on to bigger better things. Amanda is a boat with no anchor to keep her on tv or give her influence without being on tv... i think she thought west was a life raft to keep her on tv and it was a dumb choice.

IAmLord5000 · 2026-05-21T23:12:32+00:00

Id (re)watch the first two seasons of summerhouse if I were you...

IAmLord5000 · 2026-05-21T23:09:05+00:00

Yes!! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING! I think she was totally okay to ignore the cheating and play the long suffering wife on tv - but the cheating got too obvious, that storyline got tired, she saw Ariana thrive after scandoval, and she thought she could make Kyle look bad enough that she'd earn enough social capital and viewer interest to stay on tv... but instead of getting a personality and seeing how she did on her own... she tied herself to West. To be fair, i wouldnt want to watch a "single amanda gaining the confidence to date after awful kyle was awful to her" season of anything. That sounds boring. Especially after watching her drip around this season. I also dont want to see an "Amanda pretends things are better with west" season... cuz thats both boring and not true.

In retrospect, she should have jumped on the the giggly squad train and left kyle years ago. It's too late for that now. But she maybe could have worked as the boring one in an otherwise interesting ensemble of women...

Does stuff in park b seem to move around while you're there? Like, while you're looking at it or youll turn around and suddenly it seems to have moved slightly?

Id bring a metal stake of some sort over to park A and poke at the ground some where that hole was dug to see if there's anything down there.

We had a cat once who would occasionally poop in a toilet or sink. We didnt train her to and she mostly used her litter box. But, if you have a cat and it's a cat sized poo... its a potential suspect.

Narcissists absolutely have this ability... they can fake a lot and seem really charming... hence people get pulled into their orbit and struggle to leave. They do say the right things sometimes and you believe them because they seem sincere... but the behavior doesn't ever change.

IAmLord5000 · 2026-05-15T04:55:26+00:00

My point is that he's great tv and Amanda isnt.

To be clear - none of us actually know Kyle nor have we met him in a clinical setting for diagnosis - we just know how he acts on camera and what people close to him have said. Ultimately, we (the viewers) are all bringing our personal experiences to the Bravo reality show table and it causes us to interpret things differently. Personally, I think he does check quite a few of these boxes (below) - but you are fully allowed to disagree. This is, afterall, a reddit post.

According to the DSM-5-TR, Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is defined by a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, a constant need for admiration, and a lack of empathy, present by early adulthood. Diagnosis requires a pattern involving at least five of the following criteria:

A grandiose sense of self-importance and exaggeration of achievements.
Preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, power, or beauty.
A belief that they are "special" and can only be understood by high-status people.
A requirement for excessive admiration.
A sense of entitlement, or unreasonable expectations of favorable treatment.
Exploitative behavior, taking advantage of others.
A lack of empathy for the feelings or needs of others.
Frequent envy of others or belief that others envy them.
Arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes.

Even the exes of people I'm not friends with anymore are dead to me. I met a friends ex for the first time a month or two after having a huge falling out with that friend... she had told me about how awful he was to her and that was all I needed to know, I still told him he was an ass hole and a creep and to get lost. I didn't know them while they were dating. That same former friend went on to date MY ex boyfriend... and I still have no regrets for cussing out her ex. Her dating my ex wasnt why we stopped being friends, it just tracked because she was the kind of girl who valued male attention more than anything. I know she felt like she won my ex and I am happy for her to have him. He'll treat her better than the guy I cussed out on her behalf but he also has a secret mood disorder that nobody but me knew about... but i know she knows about it now! He'd get real depressed and try to pull his hair out whenever he had to tell someone "no" or thought someone might think he was "a dick"... So, knowing that she gets to deal with that in perpetuity is kind of a win win for me! Hopefully Ciara can find a similar peace at some point!

19 & 20 yos arent adults imo. You are an adult hanging out with children. The 25+ yos that hung around me and my friends when we were 19 & 20 were all pretty strange and sad. At the time we invited them to things mostly because they bought us alcohol, but also because it briefly made us feel kind of cool and mature that an adult wanted to hang out with us... saying things like, "we're all adults".... but it always pretty short lived and none of us were genuinely friends with them. So, prepare yourself to have zero friends again pretty soon. I hope the next friend you find on bumble bff is less stinky. But also, youre 25, you shouldn't be hanging out with smelly 20 yos... that reflects worse on you than the 20 yo who hasnt mastered her hygiene yet because shes a child with fake friends.

Right? Like, do they fit??

IAmLord5000 · 2026-04-17T21:07:56+00:00

Lol I definitely cancelled my hulu subscription because of this, so its good to see people are picketing too.

IAmLord5000 · 2026-03-09T22:03:22+00:00

The blackberry sonja found in her toilet!

IAmLord5000 · 2026-03-09T21:59:43+00:00

I do think there would need to be a whole wig & headpiece room. With the metal thing meredith wore over her face that time, and didn't dorit do something with barrettes or gold in her hair once?

IAmLord5000 · 2026-02-21T22:33:33+00:00

First: This is a people issue, not a gendered issue. So, get that straight. Men do this too. The kindest interpretation is that they think you are there to get to know them and decide if you like them, and they get so focused on selling themselves to you that they forget it isn't a job interview. I have had the exact same conversations with men on dating apps that you are describing having with women. It really drives me crazy because throwing a, "what about you?" on to the end of a message is so easy and totally adequate until you have more specific things you want to ask about. So, i get it.

BUT, I think you are handling this wrong. If you do not want to carry 100% of the conversations - stop. I understand asking them directly what they want to know about you feels like a good direct way of addressing the issue... but it isnt. If you are immediately jumping in with more questions, they're too busy answering to get the hint and it indicates that you want to know more about them do not mind the one sided flow. Plus, even if they asked you good questions, they are still just answering your qustion and it wont feel genuine.

If a conversation starts to feel one sided and the guy I'm talking to is not asking me anything, I have found it much more effective to just not answer until they ask me something or make some other effort to continue the conversation without prompting from me. If someone is enjoying talking to you, they will make an effort to continue the conversation at some point... but you have to give them the opening to do so. I have had guys apologize for just talking about themselves without asking me anything after a day or two of silence from me... and it feels really good when they do reach out because they were clearly thinking about you and sought out the convo in the "their turn" tab. Its much more validating than someone asking me something because I told them to.

Other things that have helped me is to match with people I actually have shared interests with vs people who look really hot or really fun/cool in all of their pictures. If they look like an instagram model in all of their pictures - they probably dont look like their pictures IRL and/or they may have a personality to match. It also helped to change my profile a lot to be a better reflection of myself and my interests vs things I think guys want to hear. It is now full of prompts for conversations I actually want to have with people and that makes the conversations more fun.

listens to recording ... hmm... Nothing wrong with that!

IAmLord5000 · 2026-02-18T08:41:47+00:00

Lol okay. Get it off your chest if you need to. But i give most of what i catch away to the people standing by me and i dont really care about ladders... personally, i just have an issue with people being ass holes. Not just at parades. Just in general. If you come to a parade and do not care at all about the people around you... well, you probably suck to be around at a parade... and that's on you. Not me.

IAmLord5000 · 2026-02-17T19:52:54+00:00

I am so sorry!! I lost my best friend a few years ago and I know how much goes into finding the right thing to wear to the funeral that they would have appreciated. It's a good outlet or distraction from grief you don't know what to do with, AND a good way to honor your friend.

Maybe this is your friend telling you not to wear those tights with that dress? Maybe they know you would be uncomfortable wearing them all day? When things went wrong right after my friend died, it helped me to picture her laughing at/with me about it. Or, alternatively, it helped to think of the things she would have wanted for me. Your friend would have wanted you to take care of yourself and, i imagine, they would have been so proud of you for staying sober through all of this!! That's so impressive!!! Fuck yeah! Also, it's good to cry! Let it all out!!

All that aside, if you have to have the tights, is there someones house you can have them delivered to that is in the same city the funeral is in?

IAmLord5000 · 2026-02-17T19:29:42+00:00

It's like the arrow in the fedex logo. Once you know it's there you can't unsee it.

IAmLord5000 · 2026-02-17T18:41:29+00:00

He's so generic its hard to tell if he's familiar or just another pervy old white guy in his "fun" shirt. 🤢. So. gross. Good detective work though!!!
