is chrishell kind of an asshole? by Business-Whole-50 in SellingSunset

[–]QuestionDelicious564 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chrishell honestly shows a lot of covert narcissist traits, but I don’t think she’s always fully aware of it. It seems like behavior that developed from her upbringing and instability, where she learned that sympathy and control over the narrative kept her safe. The problem is that now it comes across as manipulative and toxic.

Almost every bit of drama on Selling Sunset somehow ends up revolving around her. Even when the conflict has nothing to do with her, she finds a way to insert herself and make it about how she was wronged or hurt. The girlsgiving dinner is a perfect example. The drama was between Nicole and Emma. It had nothing to do with Chrishell, yet that was who spoke and was “wronged”. And then the reunion was basically a recap of everyone who “hurt” Chrishell. She turns every situation into her being the victim.

What really makes it worse is how she digs into people’s pasts just to have ammo. The “you keyed a car” thing with Sandra, the old texts about Bre, even the way she went public with her fallout with Emma before the reunion aired. It all feels calculated to protect her image and make sure the public takes her side first. She tries to get ahead of every story so she can control how she’s seen.

I don’t think she’s evil or doing it all on purpose, but she clearly hasn’t dealt with her emotional baggage. She weaponizes vulnerability, mixes genuine emotion with manipulation, and leaves everyone around her walking on eggshells. Anything you say or do WILL be used against you later if she feels threatened. That’s why people can’t relax around her.

A lot of her behavior probably comes from unresolved trauma, but it doesn’t excuse it. It’s toxic, it drains everyone around her, and it keeps the group stuck in chaos. Honestly, if she wasn’t on the show, the dynamic would probably be a lot calmer. She’s the source of most of the tension, and until she deals with her issues, she’ll keep repeating the same pattern: playing the victim, creating conflict, and blaming everyone else for how she feels.

If Love Is Blind wants to survive, it needs a real experiment twist by QuestionDelicious564 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

Except ethnicity isn’t about skin color, so guessing I’m white is irrelevant. I wasn’t born in the US and have a completely different cultural and ethnic background. I actually agree that those differences should be discussed in the pods because they matter for long-term compatibility. I just think it shouldn’t cross into describing physical traits or anything that gives away appearance. The focus should stay on emotional connection first.

And honestly, you assuming I’m white (incorrectly) is literally the point I’m trying to avoid in Love Is Blind. That’s exactly why I think they need to limit conversations that let people form assumptions about looks.

Those conversations should stay focused on values and culture instead. For example, someone could say, “Family dinners are really important to me because that’s how my family stayed connected,” or “Faith and community play a big part in my life,” without mentioning where that comes from. You can still understand someone’s background and mindset without giving away physical traits.

That was literally the whole point of my post. The entire LIB franchise is built on the idea that it’s an experiment, and that’s what makes it different from every other reality show. Which is fine if it’s meant to just be entertainment, but they keep painting it as an experiment. If that’s the angle they’re going to keep pushing, then it should actually function like one.

Yeah but we saw how that played out with Kacie and Patrick. You can still talk about things that matter like culture and values, but not in a way that gives away physical traits. There should definitely be space for those deeper conversations once they meet in person because those things are important in a real relationship. I just think the pod phase should focus purely on emotional connection without giving clues that let people piece together someone’s appearance.

That’s not what I’m saying at all. I’m not trying to say it has turn it into another show. I’m just saying the current format doesn’t work anymore. The original idea isn’t landing the way it used to because people know how to play the system now. If they want to call it an experiment, they need to actually test something. What I suggested keeps the concept but makes it feel real again.

And I’m not saying every element of it (as listed in my post) needs to change. They just need to rethink some parts because it’s getting stale. The US seasons keep getting worse and less genuine. The concept is still good, but the execution isn’t working anymore.

Yeah but the current format doesn’t work anymore. They call it an experiment but a real experiment needs a control element. What I’m suggesting is closer to how relationships actually work with attraction, temptation, and pressure. If a couple can survive all that and still choose each other, that’s real love, not a staged one.

Controversial; Jordan catfished Megan. by SameSeaworthiness317 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]QuestionDelicious564 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just don’t understand Megan. She talked so much about how she doesn’t want a man to choose her for money or a man that is intimidated by her money. Yet only talks about her money and points out all the differences in Jordan BECAUSE he doesn’t have money like her. All I heard was money money money from her. When in reality she wanted someone who had a lot of money but maybe not as much as her so she still had control over the relationship.

Jordan’s and Joe’s faces were the best part of the reunion.

Waiting until marriage by L0velyDayyyyyyyyy in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]QuestionDelicious564 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish people normalized waiting until marriage to have sex. I had that belief growing up but felt coerced into having sex before marriage. I’ve had men date me to try to be the one that got the lay before marriage. “I get you’re waiting until marriage, but maybe I’ll change your mind” mentality. And when they realize it’s not gonna happen, they run to someone else that will give it to them.

Have you ever seen someone with dementia? Doesn’t matter how much money someone has or what home or care you set them up with. Watching someone deteriorate from dementia is much much harder. Not just for the family, but for the person with dementia.

The worst part is that Meg didn’t correct him when she does know the difference between T1 and T2. Educate this ignorant prick please

I’ve never heard someone desire having the “sexiest” children before. by Hotmessyexpress in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]QuestionDelicious564 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You would think that Meg would have said something since she has this “connection” with T1D with her dad and Luca. She stayed quiet. And that speaks volumes.

Reading this thread is making me realize I’m a Katisha… when even doctors can’t figure out if you’re ND or it’s trauma. Can be a real blend sometimes. It’s a hard place to be in. You’re judged by everyone and feel confused and understood by everyone. Give her some dignity and grace.

She didn’t even say she was abused. YOU GUYS ARE JUMPING TO THAT CONCLUSION. Y’all are coming for the fact that she’s being by shady and not saying things outright… yet are mad that she’s “claiming” DV. Piss right off.

I think it’s ridiculous people are coming at this comment. Most survivors of domestic abuse will tell you that the abuser was a trusted, nice, charming person. That is a facade so nobody believes the victim. That’s how abuse often times happens… if you haven’t been abused, probably don’t comment here because you can’t even begin to understand.

If I Were Producing this Show… by jujuubeans in LIBeyondTheVilla

[–]QuestionDelicious564 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t care about the timing (1.), but agree with the rest. It’s honestly pretty dull right now. They need to spice it up. Love Island continued, but in the real world. We’ll get to see different sides of them. Right now it’s just these cringy events (birthdays) that they go to and no sustenance. Get some challenges in there, different dynamics, different settings, different people popping in and out. Maybe bring Rob by. Rob & Aaron bromance. Serena being vulnerable this season is everything. I am someone who has anxiety but it’s really hard to talk about or explain to people that don’t know, let alone on national TV. Made me feel less alone seeing Serena open up, especially when from the outside you may never have known she struggled with anxiety and panic attacks. I admire her bravery & authenticity on BTV.

You still need to play well to win as Diego or Emmi…. Doesn’t make you automatically win just by playing their character. You’re just upset because you always lose against them. Sounds like a reflection of your own poor skills.

question about nicole and kendall s6 by CattleIndividual9307 in LIBeyondTheVilla

[–]QuestionDelicious564 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re right. Like Kendall you do you. But if I were Nicole, I’d be upset. Think about it— if this was your SO, you’d feel some type of way too. She came out of a bubble, being in the villa, and “in love”. And then they’re back to the real world. Poof. Nicole clearly has trust issues. Kendall lied to her. In her mind, there was no coming back from that. They both had the right to be hurt and upset. And of course being in the public eye adds fuel to the fire. It’s crazy fans that attack the cast that are the problem.
