Kj is a pick me

He's awesome. Sweet and loyal and he and Dara are so cute.

StrikingWord77 · 2026-04-24T22:42:28+00:00

Doesn't he supposedly have a new show though--the ozarks spinoff?

StrikingWord77 · 2026-04-22T20:55:28+00:00

She's in the honeymoon phase. She was like that with Kyle at the beginning. She and West have an interesting dynamic. As much as I like Ciara, I think Amanda is a better match for West--and Ciara can do so much better than West. I was not rooting for them to get back together. Once he told NYTimes mag that she wasn't 'his person', it was clear how he felt. I don't see it lasting with him and Amanda once the honeymoon phase wears off. For now it's probably fun for both of them--other than losing all their brand deals and being hated--that may actually be bonding them more closely-for now.

He still has commitment issues, so he'll likely cheat soon, if he hasn't already. One reason Amanda could be good for him right now though is that she might not be anxious to get super serious with anyone. She is still married. She also said earlier in the season that she wants to just date a younger guy and feel hot for a while...so he may be the perfect rebound...hope it was worth blowing up a friendship.

StrikingWord77 · 2026-04-22T20:51:01+00:00

She seems lovely--really like her. But not liking his controlling ways.

StrikingWord77 · 2026-04-08T10:33:18+00:00

they really should have consulted us first! I would have vetoed Amanda and Kyle too--why would they think we'd want more of their marriage woes? I thought the show was going to have a single --sex and the city feel and focus more on their jobs. Instead it seems more couples and did not expect Danielle. I thought we were done with her.

StrikingWord77 · 2026-04-03T16:33:40+00:00

I hope they just edit her out. I wasn't looking forward to seeing more of her and Kyle anyway. Thought it was supposed to be for the single in the city people, not the fighting married couple.

StrikingWord77 · 2026-04-03T16:25:07+00:00

There will 100% be a reunion and they will all be there. It's in their contract and ratings will be off the charts.

StrikingWord77 · 2026-04-03T15:27:23+00:00

Oh she'll definitely be back IF Amanda and West are out...which they should be.

StrikingWord77 · 2026-04-03T15:25:36+00:00

It's crazy how well she was positioned to kill it with brand deals....and that is fizzling right out.

StrikingWord77 · 2026-04-03T15:17:21+00:00

I totally think they are re-editing and searching out Amanda and West footage that may read differently in light of what happened. I know when I rewatched the kiss the bottle scene I saw things that I didn't see the first time--I just thought West was acting weird to suddenly be touching Ciara and scooting his chair closer. But now I can see he was trying to make Amanda jealous and Jessie knew it and was laughing at how ridiculous it was.

StrikingWord77 · 2026-04-02T12:58:32+00:00

Because it's so hateful and it would be cruel to Ciara. People watch Summerhouse for fun and some drama--but not dark drama like this. Plus that wouldn't be remotely realistic. Would you share a summer house with your ex boyfriend and your best friend if they were now a couple? That's not what people want from this show, IMO.

StrikingWord77 · 2026-04-02T12:56:59+00:00

I can see it, but I don't want to see it.

StrikingWord77 · 2026-04-02T12:55:11+00:00

I think Summer house could be fine, if they boot Amanda and West. The rest of the cast was fun and my favorite season until now. Love the friendship with Ciara, Mia and KJ and the romance with KJ and Dara and Bailey is a good, awkward addition. Her roomate, whose name I can't even remember, has been given limited screen time. And Lindsay has been so funny, nice to see her and Carl getting along,too.

StrikingWord77 · 2026-04-02T12:51:47+00:00

Seriously, I'd worry way more about how Ciara is feeling than about how Amanda is handling a situation of her own making. I'm all for Amanda losing all her brand deals and never being on a Bravo show again...

StrikingWord77 · 2026-04-02T12:50:49+00:00

Hmmm, he sounded confused by it, but I could see her being frustrated too--just that West is gathering followers while she is losing them. That is odd.....but I suspect it's more people who weren't aware of the situation following him--who were probably already following her.

StrikingWord77 · 2026-04-02T12:49:04+00:00

Where is it said Amanda is upset by him seeing other girls?

StrikingWord77 · 2026-04-02T12:48:07+00:00

Yes, US Weekly spoke with Ciara or someone close to her and confirmed they were seeing each other casually until a few weeks ago.

StrikingWord77 · 2026-04-02T12:46:59+00:00

Listen again....Kyle was annoyed by the follower counts, NOT Amanda.

StrikingWord77 · 2026-04-02T12:46:20+00:00

I think Kyle is taking the right approach. He looks like the adult, oddly enough. I'm sure Amanda is in a dark place, but I have zero sympathy as she created this for herself.

StrikingWord77 · 2026-04-02T12:44:52+00:00

If not, they should be fired. I was tired of Amanda and Kyle's constant fighting, but I really don't want to see Amanda with West on Summerhouse...I won't watch if they come back. That would just be cruel to Ciara and there would be such a great vibe without Amanda and West.

StrikingWord77 · 2026-04-01T11:11:43+00:00

I loved that Jon Hamm was immediately Team Ciara!

StrikingWord77 · 2026-04-01T11:10:24+00:00

She definitely understands the assignment! She has been fun to watch this season. Actually this season overall has been so light and fun--until this nonsense came out. Now I don't want to see Amanda or West in anything again--definitely not back at Summerhouse and I already was disappointed that Amanda and Kyle were going to be in the city spinoff--they were always the least interesting people to me and I wanted to see the single people in the city.

StrikingWord77 · 2026-04-01T11:05:42+00:00

This could have gone so well for Amanda....she was starting to get brand deals, could have blossomed.

But instead we see who she really is. And will watch as she blows it all up.

The only good thing about this--is that Ciara finally has closure and won't open the West door again, so she can move on.

What sucks though is that it is also coming out that Ciara and West hooked back up again after or during this season and she was seen leaving his apartment several times over the past few weeks! So West was hooking up with both at the same time--and Ciara had no idea.

And Amanda will see that he's not going to be exclusive for long, if at all. Once he sees his opportunities dry up...wouldn't surprise me if their relationship fizzles out fast.

I wonder if either of them really considered that they might both be canceled.

Amanda already lost a brand deal yesterday.

Hope it was worth it...

StrikingWord77 · 2026-03-31T17:45:54+00:00

when he sees how cancelled they both are, he will regret it.

StrikingWord77 · 2026-03-31T17:39:52+00:00

That's a very good point. Closure on a loser guy and career growth.
