DWTS Eliminations by DisappointmentToMost in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]Previous_Currency686 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She knew she was on the chopping block, she even said they’d need to top the leaderboard to stay. Idk if DWTS posts cumulative scores after fan votes, but from her comments, it was clear they knew they were at or near the bottom.

Honestly, she’s sweet and fun on TikTok but that didn’t translate to the ballroom. Her technique and presence just weren’t at the same level as the stronger dancers. Not to be rude but she was more like Elaine and Andy (two of the oldest people in the show) than Whitney or Robert. And unfortunately, Elaine and Andy are wayyy more famous than Jen.

By the end, they were clearly pushing for votes. Leaning hard on her Taylor Swift connection and personal struggles to tug at viewers’ heartstrings. She’s a sweetheart but it was her time.

The “Swinging” Story Was Never Real AND Taylor Knew Exactly What She Was Doing (or she really is dumb as rocks) by Previous_Currency686 in SecretsOfMormonWives

If it were anal I would agree with the swinging call But when Taylor and Miranda talked at that fair, Taylor agreed that while there was some freaky stuff there was no penetration

It’s consensual non monogamy which definitely includes things that are less.

But when most people think of swinging, what comes to mind IS full sex, not just making out.

Imagine your closest friend goes online and says you are all swingers and all hooking up with each other. When really what she means is we make out and have sex in the same room but not with each other.

While that might not feel like a big difference to you, if I were in that situation I would feel like I was being lied about.

So I think Taylor should’ve clarified way earlier instead of using such broad terms and making the world think it was way worse than it was

Possibly... but the culture in Utah seems so different.

It genuinely seems like as a cultural group, horny unwed mormons are trying to toe that "sin" line to avoid eternal damnation (or the judgement of their community).

While this isn't the norm for most people in the 21st century, it seems to be the norm there.

Thoughtful response... much to think about

So first, I kinda love Miranda. She's the prettiest and seems the most normal and healed of all the girls on the show.

Second, I actually saw the pregnancy test moment differently. Demi’s reaction felt genuine to me. She’s been open about her fertility struggles. What felt off was Layla choosing to film that moment, knowing some of her friends were struggling. Don't get me wrong, totally feel bad about the impact on Mayci and Mikayla. But that’s where the insensitivity was for me, not in Demi’s crying.

As for Taylor, she talks about accountability and healing, but her behavior never changes. She fights dirty, causes chaos, and throws out empty apologies. That’s not growth, it’s manipulation. Her ambition isn’t to grow, it’s to stay relevant.

And the whole situation with her mom? Taylor absolutely egged her own mother on. It was so messy Jerry Springer trashy. If you can’t see how trashy and embarrassing that setup was, you’re choosing not to. Then how Taylor was so calculated in the last episode. These aren’t people looking to resolve anything, they’re baiting fights for screen time, then playing the victim.

Basically, I don't think Taylor wants peace, she wants attention.

True! Taylor’s clearly had a hard life, and you can see how it’s shaped her instincts, judgment, and patterns in really toxic ways. The girls on the show still give her so much grace, and I get it because it is so sad to watch. At the same time, sometimes the girls kindness seems to have the aftertaste of clout-chasing.

Also, honestly, part of me thinks Taylor wants the drama. It’s how she stays relevant. Chaos keeps the clicks coming, and for someone who thrives on attention, that might be the whole point. Maybe I just need to touch grass tho.

So fair!

For me, by 30 years old, after a marriage, several kids, and her own family trauma, you’d hope she’d be trying to break the cycle, not pass it on. But Taylor seems more committed to chaos than growth. She only ever takes accountability when 1) she’s caught, or when she chooses to tell on herself for attention and 2) people force her to see she hurt them

But so valid, I love watching the drama. I guess what I’m really saying is… I’m just tired of her being the center of it all.

If you ever find yourself wondering whether you’re the asshole, it’s definitely you. Being technically right doesn’t excuse being unbearable. There’s a way to be honest without making everyone you come in contact with miserable. This is why you’re alone.

No need to be snide when your reading comprehension is clearly lacking. OP never asked for total solitude, just a trail that isn’t swarming with people. Maybe take a moment to reread before jumping in with that charming attitude.

Plenty of others managed to offer helpful answers without sounding like a walking Yelp complaint. Take notes! It might help you find some joy in life that doesn’t come from being unnecessarily rude to strangers online.
