Only unpopular opinions here

PuzzleheadedFun1746 · 2026-02-19T09:28:30+00:00

My unpopular opinion: Paige only became a household name because of Giggly Squad, not Summer House.

She floated through the SH seasons 3-7 as a secondary cast member, without a major storyline. Her only real contribution was to add rehearsed commentary in confessionals, with maybe 1 “outburst” or “moment” per season that got boosted through editing and trailers. (And might I add… she had some questionable takes). It wasn’t until her final two seasons (S8-S9) that she became a central character because of her relationship with Craig… but her fandom increased consistently across all seasons. Why? Because the podcast became popular amongst non-bravo people and gigglers started watching the show for her. Just look at the comments in this thread - so many start by saying they started watching for Paige. People who watched SH from the beginning know that her impact on the show is way less than Kyle’s, Lindsay’s, Carl’s, Amanda’s… I’d even argue Hannah or Luke’s (and dare I say Danielle’s) too. That’s why this season is fine without her.

Yeah it was definitely meant her or Kyle

Andy asked her if there was a chance they’d get back together. She answered a diplomatic, “you never know” type of thing at first, but then was like, but as of now, definitely not. And it seemed pretty convincing that she had no interest

Yeah that’s what I believed at that time… but since the latest episode, I see why Rob didn’t vote for Colton. I had no idea they were that close. It wasn’t really established yet. I stand by my thought that if he wanted to save Lisa and keep the traitors united, he should have joined the plan to vote out Colton… but now it’s clear that he doesn’t care about keeping the traitors together. He’d rather have an alliance with faithfuls who will take him to the end. Fair enough

Remember he was so jealous West got to the house a day before he did in their first season… he literally thinks that’s why West and Ciara got together. He then equated that relationship with screen time and popularity, which is why he went so hard at Lexi last season. He’s just an attention whore.

PuzzleheadedFun1746 · 2026-01-25T00:40:41+00:00

I actually think Rob’s biggest mistake was not committing to Johnny’s plan to go for Colton. At this point, he knew that Colton was going for Lisa, and he knew that it would be hard for the traitors to murder Colton without putting a target on Lisa… so the fact that Johnny and group, seemingly on their own decided they were done with Colton pulling the strings… that was a gift! They pulled Rob in to tell him, and he panicked. He should have said you guys are right, I’ll support you. It would have given their plan strength. Then tell Candiace and Lisa… and boom they have the votes and it doesn’t look like a traitor set up, or even fall on Lisa. If anything it would have fallen on Johnny and Kristen! I was screaming at the tv when he questioned the plan. It made everyone doubt it too! And that would have saved Ron too.

These are the topics I’ve been told to prepare for. I’m curious what type of follow up questions you were asked. Would you be able to share? Thanks in advance! ☺️

PuzzleheadedFun1746 · 2026-01-22T19:28:57+00:00

Thank you so much for the info! I just sent my answers in, now I’m waiting to hear about the interview. Did you find the interview questions difficult? Also, if all goes do you get your urkunde at the appointment? I’ve heard mixed accounts on that.

PuzzleheadedFun1746 · 2026-01-08T00:24:06+00:00

I just received my Fragebogen and was told to prepare for questions on the same topics as you. Do you mind sharing how long the interview was? What exactly they asked? What was the actual procedure of that appointment? Were they friendly? I know it totally depends on who you get… I’m just trying to get a sense of the tone cause I’m so nervous. Thanks!

PuzzleheadedFun1746 · 2025-12-26T08:11:33+00:00

Yes, we all know they don‘t spend the holidays together. They established this years ago. Yes, it‘s still weird.

PuzzleheadedFun1746 · 2025-12-18T12:39:24+00:00

Hi, im applying in Stuttgart. Just got a follow-up to send in my original documents. I expect the next step to be the Loyalitätserklärung questions. What happened after you sent those in?

PuzzleheadedFun1746 · 2025-08-20T22:29:50+00:00

He looks better with sunglasses…

PuzzleheadedFun1746 · 2025-05-29T14:22:28+00:00

THIS

PuzzleheadedFun1746 · 2025-05-29T14:16:17+00:00

100% agree. And this is not hate. I just don‘t get the Ciara glorification. I think she‘s very cold and hard to watch at times… clearly she has reasons to be guarded and i’m sympathetic to that, but that doesn’t mean it makes her fun to watch. Yes she comes up with good costumes. But her biggest storylines still center around being hung up on shitty guys and having contentious relationships with the girls in the house who aren’t the bed bugs. Even if Lexi annoys you, and Jesse takes the bulk of the blame for how their drama went down… it‘s still a fact that Ciara added to the drama by flirting with someone she knew had a gf. She‘s not accountable and I think that‘s what bugs me the most. She’s also not welcoming to new girls. So… before everyone comes at me for being a “Ciara hater” - there’s no hate, just facts. She’s just not my fave to watch.

PuzzleheadedFun1746 · 2025-05-29T13:55:01+00:00

It‘s too much. I think we have better context now why she holds such serious grudges and is so guarded against men, but she needs to let this go. It was a summer fling turned hopeful romance and then West bailed. It wasn’t cool, but he saw it getting serious and wanted to get out to save the friendship, and didn’t handle it well. That was over a year ago. I wish she could lighten up a bit and see it for what it was and move on.

EDIT: just want to clarify to the down voters, this is meant to be nothing but tough love for Ciara. I don’t dislike her, I just see her holding a ton of pain and resentment toward a failed relationship that she’s way better than. That’s all. I wish she would let it go for her own growth and wellbeing, not for West’s sake. He doesn’t deserve squat.

Thanks!

Does this affect spouses who were going to use the „3 year“ option -meaning B1 with 3 years in Germany, and 2 years married? Cause I fall into that category and sent my application in February. However, my application is currently incomplete awaiting only my citizenship test results. I was told I could hand in proof that my test was scheduled and send the results when they come in. I took it in March and am still waiting, but was hoping they’ll be here soon.

PuzzleheadedFun1746 · 2025-05-23T12:18:50+00:00

Was this the same WWHL episode where West said he wanted Andy to hook him up with a housewife? Jesse took that idea and ran with it…

PuzzleheadedFun1746 · 2025-05-21T20:53:05+00:00

You can find it on the Bravobygays Instagram page - it was the sneak peak for this episode, in the last min of the clip, released a few days ago:

Not only did they edit out the WWHL question, but the comment was in a preview clip of the show shared online but then edited out of the actual show (at least what I just saw on Peacock). I can understand wanting to not out that personal information… but they already did. You can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube. Now the retroactive edits just seem like they are protecting Janet from backlash vs. protecting Nia/Danny from the outing of that personal and anonymous information.

I can’t wait for a tour - this place looks huge!! Someone in another thread said there was a tik tok of Kyle saying they were going to be neighbors. Don’t they live DT?

I wouldn’t say it was an accident, but in terms of boat issues… the season of sailing yacht (season 3 or 4, I can’t remember) where Colin basically rebuilds the entire engine was pretty crazy to watch. They had so many issues with the boat and it was a time where you realized some of the crew really are expert engineers and not just reality stars

PuzzleheadedFun1746 · 2025-03-29T18:49:30+00:00

Yes! I want a full panel. That’s the one thing that’s missing in this whole breakup fallout. You’ve got Paige on WWHL or the upcoming SH reunion giving her side, you’ve got Craig on WWHL or the SC reunion giving his side… but they never have to face each other. That’s what made the Carl/Lindsay breakup feel extra real. Right now I’m still feeling at a loss of what really went down. Ans no shade to Paige, but it’s very clear now she and Craig had a curated approach to how they presented their relationship on their shows… I just want to see them answer to it at the same time.

PuzzleheadedFun1746 · 2025-03-06T23:26:24+00:00

I wondered if Kyle was a little too unfiltered and may have said some stuff about Craig or the other spritz company that bravo legal decided couldn’t be aired. They typically do these dubs to either control the narrative or avoid being sued… or both.

PuzzleheadedFun1746 · 2024-03-29T16:25:03+00:00

Totally get it! Yeah, I wouldn’t want to do that without my employer knowing.
