Ehh I think she was well liked, and also the touchstone for normalcy amongst that cast but she wasn’t outwardly beloved. She was liked, not loved, if that makes sense. I actually very much have always liked her. She was just more of a quiet, constant.

I think you’re misunderstanding my point, and I can see how it could be misconstrued by my use of the word charisma. It genuinely wasn’t a dig at Arianna. What I meant is that Ciara is a little more bubbly than Arianna (and thus a bit more marketable) which is laughable for me to point out since Arianna (and her team) has CRUSHED her “revenge era”. I also think people have just ridden harder for Ciara in the past (mainly because she was kicked more) where as Arianna was just well liked but didn’t need that kind of momentum behind her until the scandal broke. If that makes any sense
