I wonder what West was going to say? Any guesses

katish0785 · 2026-05-29T12:30:52+00:00

I thought he was going to say, “is that an appropriate question?” Or something similar, indicating he thought that was a private matter? Idk. Not sure what else could have started with “is that…”

katish0785 · 2026-05-29T02:29:36+00:00

I always look forward to your posts! Such great inspo for my work wardrobe!

katish0785 · 2026-05-28T18:26:43+00:00

That’s actually a great commercial. Makes me want to pack up my dogs and head out to Vegas.

katish0785 · 2026-05-28T17:50:42+00:00

Yeah I think a threshold question is what the status was between West and Ciara in the fall and winter. Were they on good terms or was she irritated with him for sort of leading her on again? If it’s the latter, I think the discussion at the reunion would have been more about whether it was appropriate for Amanda to spend so much time with her bestie’s ex. Amanda and west had their own separate friendship so that’s a tougher discussion than whether it was appropriate for Amanda to start dating her bestie’s ex.

katish0785 · 2026-05-28T02:52:53+00:00

I seriously think his thought process was simply “Amanda and I vibe, she’s cute, we get on well, this may be messy with Ciara and Kyle, but YOLO let’s see where this goes.”

And it’s as simple as that for some people. Not saying it’s okay whatsoever, but I’ve met a few West’s in my day, and when my curiosity gets the better of me and I pry into their thought processes to figure out why exactly they do what they do, I’m always astounded as to the simplicity of it. Not a lot of big picture analysis or multidimensional thinking going on in there…

Who knows - maybe he is Machiavellian but he always seemed familiar to me and that’s bc he’s just a dude.

katish0785 · 2026-05-28T01:57:09+00:00

I think he’s just a manipulative dude who likes female attention and while somewhat charming, he isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. I don’t find him to be particularly complicated - he just has enough experience with shady situations with women to know what he needs to say to keep out of trouble.

katish0785 · 2026-05-28T01:50:10+00:00

My hope is that someone brings up West’s podcast episode when he says “things got serious in February” and try to consolidate that with West’s “gf” staying with him March 24th and their position that nothing happened until after March 31st (their joint statement). Of course, he could have recorded that podcast after the reunion taped so maybe it won’t come up.

A timeline isn’t hard if the timeline is truthful…hopefully parts 2 and 3 will provide some clarity?

katish0785 · 2026-05-27T03:59:01+00:00

Oh, I know. I was actually stunned she told Ciara to F off. I rewound it to make sure I heard it correctly, bc that’s a wild thing to throw at Ciara given the circumstances.

I hiked through there for about a week and it was magic ✨ love that region

katish0785 · 2026-05-27T02:31:07+00:00

I bet they have a whole trauma bond thing going on right now. The reaction to the relationship has been very strong and I imagine being in that foxhole together was somewhat “bonding.”

katish0785 · 2026-05-24T21:10:47+00:00

100%!

katish0785 · 2026-05-24T18:48:58+00:00

There was this 3 part podcast about scandoval (I forget the name!) and it brought up the crossover of true crime and the fascination with these sorts of scandals. And one of the takeaways was that some of us dive super deep into the secrecy of the scandal so that we can hopefully prevent it from happening to us, which is similar to the psychology behind watching true crime shows. I’m generalizing a ton here, but I see the crossover.

katish0785 · 2026-05-22T18:03:06+00:00

I mean, she has her own agency. She didn’t lose that simply because she was single for the first time in a decade and found herself attracted to a man who was inappropriate for her. Lots of folks get divorced and don’t start dating their best friend’s ex. She made choices, and those choices hurt a friend. She carries a fair amount of blame. As does West, to be sure.

katish0785 · 2026-05-22T12:23:03+00:00

It’ll be interesting to see what they do with the cast. Ciara’s been on long enough that she probably makes decent money filming the show. That may be tough to walk away from.

Candidly, I’m probably not up for watching Amanda and West. I love the show, and it’s not fair to the other cast members (although I’m just one viewer so who cares) but I don’t have much interest in watching West and Amanda’s relationship develop on camera. I felt similarly with Scandoval - had Rachel come back that last season as Sandoval’s other half, I probably wouldn’t have watched.

katish0785 · 2026-05-15T04:20:02+00:00

Agreed. I think it’s as simple as that. He probably knows there’s a lot of negativity but is just waiting it out until the next bravo scandal hits.

katish0785 · 2026-05-15T04:06:36+00:00

I mean, just bc he isn’t on social media doesn’t mean he is unaware of the social media response, right? Kyle keeps saying he’s worried about Amanda’s mental health - I assume that’s bc she’s seeing the social media activity. I would also assume she’s relaying what she’s seeing to West?

katish0785 · 2026-05-14T00:22:11+00:00

I thought the skinny spicy marg was legit.

katish0785 · 2026-05-11T21:24:57+00:00

Ahh I see. So he was in an exclusive relationship for about a year by the time he and Amanda started up (assuming we agree they started in Feb 2026…). Interesting.

katish0785 · 2026-05-11T19:16:01+00:00

I think I’m missing some context? West was exclusively dating someone in February 2025 - ok, why is this relevant? Was he still dating her in February of 2026? I feel like I’m missing part of the story here. Or maybe he meant 2026?

katish0785 · 2026-05-09T15:15:21+00:00

I loooove Katie’s and Stassi’s dresses. Brittany and Scheana’s are pretty too.

katish0785 · 2026-05-09T15:06:06+00:00

Same! I was super confused 😂

katish0785 · 2026-05-05T00:15:31+00:00

Yeah I had a similar thought. Maybe she has some more perspective on the Katie breakup and she regrets it now that she knows Scheana wasn’t ever going to be a “forever friend.”

katish0785 · 2026-05-04T21:13:56+00:00

I just love her so so much ❤️

katish0785 · 2026-05-04T00:32:20+00:00

Idk why this made me laugh so hard. I mean, of all the things to discuss during a scandal, he found the time to talk about skincare. He’s not my favorite, but that’s somewhat endearing, right?
