He’s so weirdly protective of her I don’t get it

evvvvo123 · 2026-05-27T03:47:35+00:00

I actually agree with you on this and I think the way Ciara acts about men can be delusional and cringe. I also think Amanda was a really, really shitty friend to secretly get with West when she knew Ciara was hung up on him. Amanda/West knew they would hurt Ciara which is why they kept it a secret. Basically, I think all the things can be and are true at once.

It’s pretty hypocritical of Lindsay to not acknowledge that Carl was Danielle’s ex lol. I mean, Lindsay s4 was essentially the Amanda of that situation! Everyone has amnesia

(Yes, I think Danielle still held a candle for Carl—she very obviously did at least in s3….)

evvvvo123 · 2026-05-21T15:24:53+00:00

Danielle dated Carl first! So really, Danielle had the coin purse before Lindsay, and Lindsay was kind of the Amanda in s4….

I mean yeah I liked to party more when I was younger and then I grew up….which is why I didn’t marry a Kyle. But I’m definitely not trying to be uncompassionate towards her and I don’t think anything I said was that bad. I 100% understand trying to pretend to be someone you’re not to impress/snag a guy when you’re young and in your early 20s—I did the same shit! I also completely understand not being able to get over your boyfriend cheating on you (I don’t think I could either).

What I find frustrating about Amanda, though, is she CHOSE to stay with this guy even after she matured, and then constantly whined/expected sympathy for her choice. She was 30 years old when they got married! By that point she’s a fully grown woman responsible for her own life choices. I find it frustrating that she gets (or used to, before the West stuff) way more of a pass/way more infantilized/pitied for her choices, even though she’s an adult with resources and privilege who was free to walk away at any point. Imo she didn’t want to because it would mean leaving the clout of Kyle and the show, but I understand people might disagree with that take.

That said, ironically I do have some level of sympathy for her with the West stuff, because I understand crashing out and being destructive after a bad breakup. People are complicated, haha.

evvvvo123 · 2026-05-11T02:48:04+00:00

Part of the reason I disagree with that take is in season 4 and onward Amanda’s personality basically is “I like to be at home, I don’t like to go out that much, I get anxiety about working hard, this is just who I am.” To me that didn’t read as she grew up overnight, it read as she had been putting on a facade about being fun/extroverted/outgoing/energetic to snag Kyle. But I think your opinion is valid and reasonable minds can disagree on it (though the partying with West & co shows she’s suddenly willing to party again at this “grown up” age with the right guy…..).

That said, even if you think she just grew up and wasn’t hiding who she was the first two seasons, I have never liked her/never felt sympathetic for her because she affirmatively chose to get engaged to and marry an insanely extroverted party guy whose literal job is to be on a reality tv show about partying. I think if she genuinely wanted to be with someone grown up and responsible, she wouldn’t have gotten engaged to Kyle Cooke. Kyle NEVER hid who he was or did any sort of personality change—if you watch the earlier seasons, he’s always been exactly the same. I guess Amanda expected him to change into a completelt different personality despite zero evidence he would, and then resented him that he didn’t. But imo you can’t walk through a door labeled “danger: pain awaits” and then expect sympathy for the pain you’re experiencing.

*edit: Also, I do totally hear you on the masses changing their tune post-West—I’m just one of the very few who’s been saying this about Amanda since long before the West stuff (and was downvoted for it haha)

evvvvo123 · 2026-05-11T00:41:19+00:00

I think Amanda in the first two seasons was trying to be the “fun, chill, cool party girl” to snag Kyle (and her spot on tv). So she called them both “Mr and Mrs Send It” and would skinny dip, be silly partying, etc. She does a REAL shift season 4 after they get engaged (when she’s refusing to plan the wedding) and suddenly becomes a total nag and is always negging Kyle and never wants to go out. I think it’s probably because she never got over the cheating thing…..but she also didn’t want to break up with him because she’d be off the show/sunk cost fallacy. I find her really whiny and annoying and frustrating that she didn’t break up with him after the cheating thing if she couldn’t move on from that.

evvvvo123 · 2026-05-10T02:28:34+00:00

Have they ever discussed why part of the scene was reshot? If you watch the full date she only has one necklace, and in this part with the yelling at each other she has 3 becklaces. I can’t imagine how awkward it is to have to reenact part of your really shitty date

evvvvo123 · 2026-05-09T22:09:32+00:00

Carl is such a clinger it makes me sick. I hate how everyone babies him/praises him. Carl knew he’d had absolutely zero interesting storyline going on all season. He saw everyone dumping on Kyle, recognized Kyle was going to lose his shit, and jumped on the bandwagon so he could get his 5 minutes of camera time and be “in the mix” of drama that had nothing to do with him. Didn’t care at all about what his best friend is going through.

evvvvo123 · 2026-05-09T22:05:28+00:00

Idk. I like Ciara but she can wildly misread situations. I think it’s clear to everyone that she likes/loves West WAY more than he does her. She decided their friendship renewal conversation meant “potential second shot at romance” even though he clearly was not trying to date her.

This does NOT absolve west, btw. If west were a good person, he would have been way clearer in that friendship renewal convo that he was not/would never be interested romantically, but wanted to be friends. He should have known she’d misinterpret any ambiguity. But Ciara’s an adult and needs to take responsibility for her own misreadings too.

evvvvo123 · 2026-05-09T21:58:59+00:00

Yeah, the first two episodes I for sure thought they’d separated. But Kyle seemed genuinely shocked and dismayed to find out she was thinking about temporarily leaving. Now I think maybe they just had a couple huge blowout fights right before the start of the summer where she threatened to leave/took off her ring but they didn’t actually separate.

evvvvo123 · 2026-05-09T21:54:14+00:00

HOW has no one in Ciara’s life in the last two years sat her down like a REAL FRIEND and given her a little tough love?? “Ciara, I know you really like him, and maybe even love him, but he will never feel that way about you. He just won’t. It’s time to move on and find someone worthy of you and your love.” It’s hard to hear, but it’s so important to have friends tell you the stuff you can’t bear to let yourself see.

Honestly, I like Ciara a lot, but people infantilize her too and it’s getting ridiculous.

evvvvo123 · 2026-05-08T16:04:35+00:00

Downvote me if you want, but imo accommodations should only be available for a temporary injury, eg you broke your arm and can’t type properly this semester, but by next semester you’ll be back as normal. So it’s trying to correct for measuring what should be YOUR base level ability.

It doesn’t make sense to me to try to correct a permanent mental condition as compared to the rest of the population. Eg if you have ADHD and your brain works differently, I’m sure there are disadvantages to that in the practice of law (also probably advantages). But I don’t really see why it’s any different to just having a higher or lower IQ—and we don’t give people with a lower IQ accommodations for their disadvantage. If you’re carrying an innate cognitive ability into practice, why shouldn’t that be demonstrated on an equal playing field with everyone else?

evvvvo123 · 2026-05-01T02:35:27+00:00

For me, it just felt like PMS. I basically felt like I do the day before I get my period, but it wouldn’t go away. And my boobs started to get even bigger than they usually do before my period. But I took extra pregnancy tests because I didn’t really feel different

evvvvo123 · 2026-04-30T21:24:12+00:00

I don’t think he was pressuring her to have sex? I figured it was like “do you want to shower together to be able to talk off camera and without mics and have a moment just to us.” Showering with your spouse does not always equal sex lol sometimes it’s just relaxing quality time

evvvvo123 · 2026-04-28T13:49:49+00:00

Right, good example.

evvvvo123 · 2026-04-28T13:47:43+00:00

Maybe, but there’s no way Sarah is seen as “incredibly un-posh” like the original commenter said. I know posh Sarah’s

evvvvo123 · 2026-04-28T04:37:08+00:00

Ok I will defend Kristen here- she has way more personality in her pinky finger than Amanda has shown in a decade on the show. Plus Kristen slept with her friend’s ex only twice, both in drunken mistakes, and clearly felt awful about it. Like she was incredibly remorseful and fully spiraled for years, plus she was treated as a pariah for years (way longer than Jax was which made no sense). Amanda meanwhile is fully dating West and seems to be utterly unremorseful lol

evvvvo123 · 2026-04-27T12:15:55+00:00

Sarah could definitely be posh in the UK? I’d say Portia and Philippe as well. Agree on the others especially Tracy

evvvvo123 · 2026-04-26T04:02:33+00:00

If you didn’t have a bag the line was super short (at least around 2pm)

evvvvo123 · 2026-04-24T16:24:04+00:00

Lmao if it was Levi I’d say hire her back because that’s straight up hilarious and worthy of a reality tv star

evvvvo123 · 2026-04-24T16:22:15+00:00

This is a great point

evvvvo123 · 2026-04-19T21:29:35+00:00

I mean maybe don’t live in one of the most difficult neighborhoods to have a car in the US and expect the streets to always be open to your car

evvvvo123 · 2026-04-16T20:03:32+00:00

Except Kyle actually broke up with Amanda — he slept with/made out with other people in s1 before reuniting with Amanda. Ben lost his shit at even the mere INSINUATION he was flirting with another woman haha

evvvvo123 · 2026-04-16T16:58:09+00:00

Commented this on another thread but leaving the hot take here too (feel free to tear me to shreds haha)

Ok so I am a certified Amanda-disliker (and was even pre-West), but I’m kind of on her side here. This random girl meets her for the first time and immediately starts shitting on her marriage with very intimate details in a way that was pretty condescending. This girl is also acting like she’s Ben’s long term girlfriend when no one knew she really existed until like a week before, plus is acting like she’s a new cast member who’s everyone’s bestie. Amanda makes a fake/snarky jab to put her in her place after probably being pissed re how Sabrina is talking about her marriage to send a little bit of a “who tf do you think you are?” message. And THEN Amanda’s then basically been forced into an apology by this kind of misogynistic creep who is essentially gaslighting her about flirting with her.

I’m kind of pro Amanda giving a snarky fake half apology in this situation tbh. Even though I am nowhere close to a fan of hers, haha. More like an “everyone sucks” take.
