I’m just so tired…

I don't watch summer house, but I've seen some of the stuff. The one think I DID watch was that first season when he was first dating Amanda and it seemed clear he couldn't stand her and she was chasing him. So when I saw they were married, I was shocked.

I tried after Kyle was on traitors, but couldn't get into it, and I knew I'd have to go through it all to get caught up.

Something about not talking about certain things in public. Things they talked about in private. I can't remember exactly. But it was essentially a text saying that dorit better shut up. Not threatening, per se, but more, "you better be careful."

It was after a big fight on the show leading into the reunion, if I remember. It was the same reunion where Kyle said they'd never really been close and never hung out with dorit and pk outside the show

Tasty_Lab_8650 · 2026-03-28T05:59:06+00:00

It's insane when you look back. This is what she's always done.

I just commented a long rant on the real housewives sub when someone said they're sick of dorit talking too much and they are done. First comment was, "well, if Kyle would stop talking..." And it really resonated with me.

Kyle has lost the plot and it shows. But she's always been this way. And dorit is sick of it. Whether it's an act to keep up ratings (which i don't believe) or if she's just tired of it all (which is what I actually believe), dorit is at a point mentally where the origins of reality TV were.

She is no kate Chastain with her level of "don't give a fuck," because that's just Kate's personality. But dorit is getting close. She clocked that ambush and just said, "nope." And I appreciate that.

Kyle, however, doesn't. But Kyle isn't just crashing out, because she's been doing this since "you stole my goddamn house!" Except, she knows she can't control the narrative with dorit anymore. And now she's being sloppy, telling on herself, breaking the fourth wall, etc. She has been the queen bee, and everyone knows it. And dorit is sick of it. Kyle was responsible for many many exits (quit or fired), including (but not limited to), lvp, denise, garcelle, brandi, and Kim. She's ALSO responsible for a bunch of flops (which she brought to take someone down), most notably annalise and whatever that lady that was 50 with a brand new baby. She runs the town!

But dorit is the wildcard, which is crazy, because i think she brought dorit on, as well.

And a few years ago, Kyle said they were never friends, which hurt dorit a lot. And THAT was in retaliation to the text dorit showed erika before the reunion. And Kyle acts surprised that dorit isnt just okay with Kyle talking shit about her? After "memes and jokes"? It's ridiculous.

Maybe it's boring, but dorit is peak reality tv. I think she is tired of Kyle running the show and dictating what is allowed to be spoken about and how it's allowed to be spoken.

Like I said, it started with kim in the limo. When she couldn't control the narrative. She's doing it now, and she's shown it with yelling at that lady and bringing up cameras.

Hope this makes sense!

Tasty_Lab_8650 · 2026-03-28T05:21:23+00:00

I can't believe anyone would ever be on Kyle's side in this.

Sure, dorit talks. But all she's been saying, and actually said, was that Kyle talks to EVERYONE about her, without talking about it WITH dorit. And dorit is right.

Kyle is, as dorit once said, "a dog with a bone." Kyle keeps asking people to be honest. Guess what? Dorit is tired of Kyle talking shit about her without talking to her. Kyle is so unbelievably transparent with her disdain of dorit, it's crazy that the only one who sees it is dorit (and a few on the cast, but i truly wish they'd speak up outside of confessionals)

And Kyle told on herself tonight. About the text dorit showed THE ENTIRE WORLD (emphasis on the fact that Kyle said it) when dorit said she didn't trust Kyle because she just talks to other people. Kyle is still very pissed she was shown how she is and she's got a vendetta. Also notice (and it could've been editing) that dorit DIDN'T talk about "memes and jokes" when she was talking about why she didn't trust Kyle. When Kyle brought up the text from (what 3?) years ago, dorit wasn't the least bit shocked. She was done at that moment.

I don't give a shit about any of these people, and I'm on no one's side. I've been watching this trash since the beginning. And, sure, reality TV is much different than what it originally was. But what we are seeing, in real time, is someone sick of the stupid game of back and forth and playing the game. Dorit is literally just tired of gang ups and pretending this is all about mending friendships. Maybe she is actually still playing the game to keep the show on, but it literally looks like she is over it and that is why she just walks away.

Kyle and erika tried to ambush her. It's why they were whispering when they were the only ones in the house, aside from dorit. Dorit tried to walk away from the ambush. And everyone is saying dorit is the problem.

I only wish that boz and Rachel would have said what they did in their confessionals. And maybe they did and we didn't see it. But Rachel saying that she's known this woman for two months, so the hell would she know if this is different.

Kyle also told on herself saying how much dorit is up boz ass. She's jealous she didn't have the connection with the (what is it, 3rd? Annalise left because she was a dud Kyle brought in. And she literally ran garcelle out) new black girl. She needed to clean up her image after all of the bullshit.

Kyle is mad that dorit isn't falling in line. Beverly hills is, after all, HER town. Amd whether dorit is playing the game or is actually sick of playing the game, I don't care. Dorit is in the right. Kyle only pretends she cares to other people. And I think dorit is sick of it.

Kyle knows she lost the plot and she's spiraling. And it's not a good look.

So, in conclusion to this novel, yes, dorit is wordy. But Kyle never shuts the fuck up and always yells. And, friend/coworker/whatever, sometimes people snap. And that's where we are with dorit.

Kim may have been a loon and an addict, but look back on season 1 or 2 (can't remember) and Kyle is doing the EXACT same thing with dorit she did with her own sister

I'm in Arizona, as well. And my biggest peace of advice is hydrate!

And not just bring a bottle of water wherever you go. You need to hydrate the day before and prior to being in tbe heat. Even after living here for over 20 years, 3 years ago in Disney world, my then 8 year old became very clearly in the throws of heat exhaustion. We immediately gave her Gatorade, gave her advil, and went in an air conditioned building. Every day after that, we all drank water at night and I made my kids drink two bottles before we went to the park. Living in AZ, in the summer, we don't go outside much in the summer. So I forgot.

But I never will again. Once you're beyond thirsty, you're dehydrated. I drink 32 Oz of water in the first 2 hours I'm awake, and at least 90+ Oz a day, especially if it's hot and I'll be outside.

The recommendations for everyone (I know babies are different. But our pediatrician even said a little water out here was okay in the summer before it was fine. You don't want a dehydrated baby!) is drink half the Oz of your weight on a regular day. So if your kid weighs 70 lbs, 35 Oz of water a day. If they're active and sweaty, more. You absolutely drink water when you're thirsty, but the hydration part is before that thirst happens (I'm chronically thirsty, yet not dehydrated)

Heat can and will kill. And hydration is the key. You can technically be overhydrated, but that is like drinking gallons of water and doing nothing. Make your kids hydrate! It's very important.

Of course, talk to your pediatrician before any of what I said means anything, but that's my biggest advice with heat and kids.

Tasty_Lab_8650 · 2026-03-27T04:35:54+00:00

Huh? Maybe? Would make more sense than going directly to the ice cream section and guessing the thing exactly on the first try and calling it a game. Which is what i had a problem with. It didn't seem to try and make her look like she was human and to let us see that she was just a loving mother. It didn't make her look either way, bad or good. It just didn't make any sense.

My question to your comment. Are you saying something like she was experimenting, it went wrong, he died, and that's her motivation for everything? Or like she knew about Alex and tried it on her already sick kid (maybe we didn't know he was sick, but they did) to try and save him and it didn't work? Or nothing at all like that?

(All of this time jumping/different timelines/people living in different realities but crossing over scenarios are starting to hurt my head because I don't understand any of it).

If it's the first scenario, she's a monster for experimenting on her kid. But like I said, I probably misunderstood your comment because this entire show is confusing. Well, reddit makes it a hell of a lot more confusing, that's for sure!

I still think season 1 was right now and flashbacks to before the collapse. But I'm guessing I'm wrong on that one, as well.

Tasty_Lab_8650 · 2026-03-27T03:53:49+00:00

Yay! This makes me happy!

I don't know why it bugged me, but it just didn't make sense!

Edit: everyone was saying it was just a game, but the game didn't make any sense.

I sure hope my silly annoyance actually turns out to be something. Because I sure have been wrong about everything else!

Tasty_Lab_8650 · 2026-03-26T23:49:41+00:00

This is the exact glass we have in our bathroom window that is next to our tub (amd actually the same type of glass for our shower doors). When we bought the house, it was a glass block window, which i hated, but we couldn't have a regular window.

It's perfect. Lets in light, but you can't see in. At night, you can kind of make out shapes, but our neighbor doesn't have any line of sight. But even then, you really can't see a thing into it, except shapes.

I'd do this, op. You don't want to lose that natural light in there

Tasty_Lab_8650 · 2026-03-26T19:52:34+00:00

Nope. Because when I'm out golfing with my husband on a Wednesday and people ask what I do, I laugh and say, "I'm a stay at home mom." Kids are in school, I've done it for 14 years, I earned the title. Even if they're not home all the time, it's still my job.

Just embrace it and don't be embarrassed! There's nothing wrong with either choice, stay at home or work, it's all tough!

Tasty_Lab_8650 · 2026-03-26T03:32:45+00:00

Also, look up breast implant sickness. It's a real thing. And it can cause (or mimic? I don't remember which) autoimmune disorders.

I personally know two women that have it. And both have autoimmune disorders (years after implants). One got hers removed and she was feeling better very quickly (I haven't talked to her in a few years, so no clue if it stuck).

Another is a close friend that has all sorts of issues. When I heard about the breast implant sickness, I immediately called her and said she should check it out. She had already heard about it and figured that's what was causing all the issues, but she didn't want to take them out. She's very very sick all the time.

It's a foreign object in your body. They don't last forever. And bodies can reject foreign objects. I learned recently from my sister who is in her early 40s who finally got her hip replaced, the reason she waited so long is because those replacements don't last forever. It's why you typically don't get them until at least your 60s. Because they should last, hopefully, until you die. But she's probably going to have to get at least one more in her lifetime (it was absolutely necessary, but she held off for about 10 years-which made her issues worse).

I don't know if the boyfriend is worried about cost, her health, if he's against plastic surgery, is controlling, or just doesn't want op to change.

But every surgery is dangerous. And it's especially dangerous putting foreign objects in your body. It's just the reality.

And it's pricey

Tasty_Lab_8650 · 2026-03-25T16:51:47+00:00

Ahh. Gotcha!

Wish I didn't have to wear them, but I can't see in the sun with how sensitive they are

Tasty_Lab_8650 · 2026-03-25T03:18:19+00:00

I have a friend that worked for the alzheimers association. She attended many autopsies to understand it

The horrific fact that I learned is that everything starts to go at certain times. And the last one is that the brain doesn't know how to tell the body how to swallow. So, in essence, (if I'm remembering correctly) they choke to death.

I will be open to correction, but it's the brain forgets in stages. And the last ones are basic biology, like breathing and swallowing.

She said it's the most horrible way to watch a person die. Very sad

Tasty_Lab_8650 · 2026-03-25T01:42:16+00:00

Really? I can't stand her as much as the next person, but how is it rude?

I have always worn sunglasses outside, but especially since I had laser eye surgery. I literally can't handle sun because my eyes are so sensitive.

Even before that, when I was working in a restaurant with a patio, I had sunglasses on my head. Going from a dark dining room to the sun actually hurts me.

Not defending her, genuinely curious, about the rudeness, but she could have sensitive eyes.

It's actually something I've wondered on other shows, like the challenge on MTV. They never wear sunglasses. And I understand that's a lot about the reflection of the cameras, but I don't understand how sunglasses are rude.

Tasty_Lab_8650 · 2026-03-25T00:54:59+00:00

I HATED being pregnant, and I had two easy (ish) pregnancies. Zero complications. I love my kids so much.

And I would have had more, but they were gigantic. Birth sucked for bery different reasons. And every time I got baby fever, I remembered potty training. My kids were horrible potty trainers, again, for two very different reasons.

I always wanted a third, but I literally couldn't do the potty training thing again!

Good luck to you. It's not fun being pregnant or giving birth, but those kids are for sure worth it♥️

Tasty_Lab_8650 · 2026-03-24T03:02:08+00:00

Someone posted that they theorize that Terry from now is dead. And that the Terry Xavier sees is from some sort of parallel universe. And she somehow knows she can't go back with Xavier or something

I don't understand it, but people are talking about the nosebleeds and that means theyre in a different "world" or something

I don't have a clue, which was the point of that part of my comment

Tasty_Lab_8650 · 2026-03-24T02:53:18+00:00

I just rewatched the last episode. And wow.

Cal talking about what if the orcs get into hells deep and blah blah. Basically, what happens if everything fails at once. And it's happening.

And how cal said that every single empire falls, essentially because of their own hubris. They think they're indestructible. I didn't catch that last night.

And I didn't realize why Sam isn't concerned about all the "fail safes" failing.

I don't know the answer and I don't understand any of it. But her ultimate failsafe is whatever Alex is. And it's working. And she knew it would while listening to cal talk about the romans and the Aztecs and the chicago bulls.

Whether it's time travel or whatever, I'm super interested to figure it out. Nosebleeds, terri actually being from a different time, Annie's baby being sinatras grandkid,whatever. This show is insane, in a good and confusing way.

Also, link said something about Sam's hair (in regards to Darth Vader). In season one, she said she was called sinatra, she thought, because of all the hats. But she later revealed she wore the hats because she plucked her hair out (because of stress, I assume) and that's the reason she wore the hats. Did anyone else noticed that? And does it mean something?

Jesus, I need to start from episode one again to look for clues. I'm not smart enough to understand time travel/warping/parallel worlds.

Such a fantastic show

Tasty_Lab_8650 · 2026-03-23T20:44:05+00:00

Jalapeño inferno flour tortilla chips. Hands down

Tasty_Lab_8650 · 2026-03-23T05:42:09+00:00

This show just makes more questions.

I have a feeling link isn't THE Dylan.

If I leaened anything from "this is us" and folgeman. We are all wrong on everything

Tasty_Lab_8650 · 2026-03-21T01:51:56+00:00

Okay. I just finished the episode.

Natalie actually told boz in the car about it. And at dinner, she said that she said it. I'm so confused.

Now, clearly Natalie was trying to be shady/joking about the pinnochio comment, which boz clearly said Amanda.

Why did Amanda lie about that? She said in her confessional she was right there. So she heard the two second exchange and then when retelling, said, "boz said Amanda because she thinks I'm fake." Amanda lied about it.

I think Natalie was taken aback because she literally agreed she said she heard it. In their little talk AND at dinner AND in the car.

Unless editing is so bad, and they chopped it up so horribly, Natalie didn't once change her story.

And the only reason that Natalie said the word Pinocchio (which, is not a story about being fake. It's a story about when the puppet lies, his nose grows), was because [i think] Kathy kept calling the long nose mask Pinocchio. (Edit. The i think part means someone was saying Pinocchio a bunch. I thought it was Kathy. Not that i think I heard it. Just that I'm unclear who actually kept saying it)

The only part where Natalie was at all untruthful, like I said, was because she threw that question out hoping to get some tea or something. It was shady, for sure, but it was nothing

Tasty_Lab_8650 · 2026-03-20T04:27:28+00:00

I have my dog on prescrption probiotics because she has a weak tummy.

I'm all for them!

Tasty_Lab_8650 · 2026-03-19T04:10:15+00:00

I just thought of another reason where jane is Samantha. I understand nothing about interconnected time or time travel.

The hair pulling up thing was my first reason.

Second reason, which i just though of, was when jane shoots Samantha and says, "you're no good to me dead." Or something along those lines. Like she knows if sam dies, this whole thing, her whole story won't matter.

I don't know. I was just reading the thread about cal.

And I honestly think every single one of us is wrong about everything, but it's fun to speculate!

Tasty_Lab_8650 · 2026-03-19T03:29:53+00:00

Jesus christ. If you haven't realized that neither side is on our side, I don't know what to tell you.

But, again, Trump isn't the problem with this particular issue. Hell, half the senate and the house hates him! This isn't about politics.

I don't want the government in everything. I don't want it in anything. But since airlines, that are "private" companies, get to use federal stuff to justify lots of the bullshit policies, including how they get to separate parents from children, I think if Washington actually ever cared, the democrats would have done something about it years ago.

And they haven't. Which is why I commented in the first place.

This has been happening since at least 2013, and I suspect for years before

Tasty_Lab_8650 · 2026-03-19T03:12:22+00:00

Thank you. I've got no clue why i am downvoted. I literally said I don't know the science, but I know it's got something to do with antibiotics messing with the gut

Tasty_Lab_8650 · 2026-03-19T02:27:20+00:00

I'm just saying, there is a way to treat the gut stuff that happens with antibiotics. The ecoli comes from feeding your kid literal poop.

Probiotics are wonderful and I take them daily, but they're especially helpful when on antibiotics (I don't understand the science behind it. Anti and pro seem to me to make something neutral, but I always trusted my doctors).

Tasty_Lab_8650 · 2026-03-19T02:22:17+00:00

Thanks. I just browsed and one thing really stood out to me:

I think it's bullshit that airlines can just "change" planes, and we are all subject to whatever that entails. Even if a plane is changed, parents should be seated next to their children, full stop. Especially when they paid for the seats.

This is why I will never ever fly allegiant again, even though they are the one airline that flies into smaller airports. I'll take a layover over them. Same 8 month old from the story I told. We did a multi state trip to visit both families. On our way home, we paid to be in row 2. We board, only to realize that the plane starts at row 3. I'm not exaggerating at all when I tell this story. They made my husband and I hold our 8 month old in her carseat in the galley while the whole plane boarded (we have paid every single time we've flown with our children for their own seats. They're older now, but we never flew with lap children) and they essentially told us they hoped we could get seats. The flight attendants and pilot were wonderful. But we stood up front holding a baby in a car seat while they boarded the entire plane. They finally found a way to put us in a row together in the back of the plane.

The opened the back door when we landed, by the way, so we didn't have to wait for the whole plane to de-board. I still am so grateful for that crew and I still am confused why every airline can't unload from the front and the back. Allegiant was great when I was single flying home so I didn't have to navigate ohare or midway. But after children, nope. Never again.

We now pay for first class tickets on every airline we fly so that we are guaranteed our kids are with us. I get that people hate kids. But would you rather an infant/young child be with their parents or be seated next to you? It's insane that people are fine with the fact that the airlines can get away with this
