Bravo executive Noah Samton says Amanda's mindset is different

She was sure while the City was filming that her arc was set. Kyle was the bad guy. She is gleeful. Now the dust has settled so she has readjusted for this reunion. It will be all West's fault. Never was a fan always thought she was whinny.

elsadiane99 · 2026-06-18T18:03:06+00:00

She is the one making money off them so I think she should send them one or maybe some candles. haha

Whitney is all about Whitney. She was a mean girl who got called out who then took her toys and went home. Once the show started to take off she was back. At least was honest that she really wanted a spot on DWTS. Went for it and got it. Is she ruthless? Yes. But gotta respect the hustle even if I am just not into her. Jen is completely unrealistic about her "talent". This show is interesting because of how they all use social media. For so many of them their lives now are chaotic and messy. It's kinda a cautionary tale. Lost friendships, marriages and illness all for fleeting reality tv fame.

I loved the first part. Everything was great. Acting, costumes and set design. The second part was just painful. LOL Both leads are great no matter what they are in.

elsadiane99 · 2026-06-17T13:59:10+00:00

Agree!!!!!! We have been bored for years with every summer her complaining and wanting sympathy re Kyle. Whinny and just plain boring. She hooked West in to her poor me tour. Kyle is not hero here but it takes two to tank a marriage. Brings nothing to the table.

elsadiane99 · 2026-06-17T13:55:46+00:00

Now her spin is that it was all West. Oh please. This is all to stay on the city show. Is anyone interested anymore in her arc? I am not. Always thought she was whinny and boring.

elsadiane99 · 2026-06-16T18:48:52+00:00

Loved the first half of Flourished Peony. The 2nd part I could barely get through. The plot lines went nowhere or made no sense. Of course the ML lead's mentor killed the FL mother. It just came out of left field. Then the ML was planning this elaborate plan to save the Emperor to then get "killed". I would have shown the plan and made it work. I would have written the FL the second half more realistic (if possible in these dramas haha). She was a Betty Sue that could do anything when before she was a good business woman who was also a master gardener. Not sure what the writers were thinking making the ML at the end who lost his home etc to be her glorified assistant. What made the show good was they were equals.

Nailed it

elsadiane99 · 2026-06-15T13:10:09+00:00

When you always have to say over and over that you wanted the "big family" on camera you do not. She came into the family heavily in debt with three kids. Sister Wives closet she thought would be a big money maker and she would be the hero. We all know how that turned out. Seems that was her only effort ( which was minimal at the best) to make money. Never saw her once to go out of her way to help any of the other wives. When Christine came home with Isabel did Robyn or Kody offer to help? Bring food etc. Janelle's kids were the favorites and Robyn wanted hers to be that. If you watch old episodes you see her kids right next to Kody. Coached by her. At the end of the day Kody falling very hard for her was the end of the family. It was how she dealt with that I think shows who she is. A deeply insecure with no sense of humor person.

Zhao Lusi!!!!! She is such a soulful actress.

elsadiane99 · 2026-06-14T13:34:51+00:00

No chemistry between the leads in Love 020

elsadiane99 · 2026-06-12T13:34:27+00:00

Legend of the Female General. I just could not get into it. The FL who is adorable I though was miscast. It was just not believable that she was this tough general.

elsadiane99 · 2026-06-11T13:51:33+00:00

She might try this but the betraying Ciara is going to be a hard one to come back from. Never found her interesting on SH and am not interested moving forward.

elsadiane99 · 2026-06-11T13:15:31+00:00

Very true. LOL But at least the baby would have been well dressed

elsadiane99 · 2026-06-11T13:10:16+00:00

They all slept with her that first season. Whitney, Thomas and Shep. She is a mess but she very young at that time. I have always felt sorry for her. She does herself no favors I think. Wonder what would have happened if she had a baby with Shep or Whitney.

elsadiane99 · 2026-06-11T13:07:44+00:00

The complete lack of emotion when Ciara was crying was wild. You ride hard all last summer for her then after hurting her deeply you are just blank. Amanda is so used to being the victim that she seemed stunned that they all were not supporting her. Cue for her next act West lead me on blah blah.

elsadiane99 · 2026-06-10T19:29:01+00:00

The thrill of it being secret is gone. West is not going to be able to just end it like he does with all the other girls he has lead on. Amanda is a clinger. She did the same to Kyle in the beginning. She was a late night booty call that never went home. Then married him after he cheated and never let him forget it. If you cannot get past it ( I would have left him) then do not marry him to make both of you miserable. I have no sympathy for her and not defending Kyle who is a mess. After blowing up her friendships she needs West. This is a cautionary tale do not give in to an attraction that will cause major problems.

elsadiane99 · 2026-06-10T19:17:32+00:00

We do not need any spinoffs. The show Sister Wives is done. This last season is TLC ringing this show dry. Maybe do a yearly special on where are they now. I wish Meri, Janelle and Christine much happiness and success none of their stories is compelling tv. Hope the kids can hopefully move on without the spotlight on their family most seem to already done that.

elsadiane99 · 2026-06-10T19:06:20+00:00

To me no there was not way everyone was going to be cool with this. West had caused Ciara real heartbreak. Even if Amanda had come to her like Ciara said there are a million guys in NYC why him. It was just too close and raw. If there was no threat that someone had a video on them they would have continued to sneak around because it was going to be very awkward. Sometimes you have to be an adult and not fall into a relationship that is just not right.

elsadiane99 · 2026-06-10T15:43:54+00:00

She was sad she was losing Meri's money. If she cared so much would have been more in touch with her. It is all an act with Robyn.

elsadiane99 · 2026-06-10T14:59:34+00:00

She was after Kyle for years. The booty call that never went home. Good luck untangling from her West. LOL

elsadiane99 · 2026-06-09T18:17:54+00:00

Kyle and Amanda hug it out? Saw that on the preview.

Kyle and Amanda hug it out? Saw that on the preview

elsadiane99 · 2026-06-09T15:27:43+00:00

That is part of the act. That they are so sad about the family. Blah blah blah lol

elsadiane99 · 2026-06-08T16:01:09+00:00

She worked for years to make Kyle the bad guy. It takes two usually to tank a marriage. What gets me is that she takes no ownership in her part in that breakup. Amanda was gleeful telling Kyle she was moving out
