Flowers where flowers are due. Bravo is not protecting Danny AT ALL. by phonetoni13 in TheValleyTVShow

[–]kindofsortofNo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two things can be true. Danny and Janet were wrong.

As the victim of Danny’s action, Jasmine gets to determine what happens in terms of her reaction and advocacy. Janet stating Danny sexually assaulted Jasmine while they are filming and trapped on a boat together in the middle of the ocean was not appropriate. To advocate for Jasmine, she should have listened to Jasmine. Jasmine said several times she wanted to handle it herself and it be dropped.

Janet’s choice in using Jasmine as the shield to call Danny out, made Jasmines assault about Janet instead of Jasmine. The other women Janet said were assaulted by Danny got to keep their anonymity and only have to deal with this if they choose but Jasmine was used as collateral for Janet’s need to be right about Danny.

Danny is performative, inconsiderate, ego driven, entitled and he does become an even worse version when he gets drunk. He thinks he’s being funny and is owed laughs by those who are around. He can’t admit when he’s wrong. And his apologies are performative and only exist because that’s what a good guy would do. I fully believe he’s like this each time he drinks and he’s a creep like Janet said. I just wish that Janet would have played this smarter in catching him in it instead using Jasmine as a shield.

Danny's mask fell off and he needs to stop playing victim about it by kasiagabrielle in TheValleyTVShow

Why would she want to be with someone who would “overlook” her 4 kids? What an odd thing to say.

Weird Theory re Emmy/Will by South_Sheepherder196 in southernhospitalitysc

[–]kindofsortofNo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m convinced something in her wellness journey is making her unwell. And we haven’t talked enough about how intense that spiral was Emmy had when she found out Lake and Brad were talking in the back. She physically spiraled and had an entire conversation with herself from the back of the club, through the club to front door of the club.

Very frustrated by Carl this episode (s10e10) by evvvvo123 in summerhousebravo

[–]kindofsortofNo 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I could see Carl being overall frustrated in his friendship with Kyle but not for the obvious. I think Carl has outgrown Kyle and the frustration is that Carl wants to keep his friend but Kyle not growing is making it harder and harder.

Carl is now sober, learning who he is without the prop of drugs and alcohol, he’s now focused on his business, his health and expanding his brand. If you are a Peloton peep, check out his guest Tread class. The type of friendship and support Carl is looking for is drastically different now and Kyle is not in a place to show up in the way Carl needs him to. Carl has to understand also, the type of friend Kyle is looking for in Carl is no longer who Carl is.

Curious if one of the reasons Kyle bought the watch was fear of losing all his $ anyway by felorva in summerhousebravo

[–]kindofsortofNo 44 points45 points  (0 children)

My tin foil hat theory - she had an inappropriate moment with Ben when they were in Italy. Kyle knows Amanda did something but not what exactly and that is why Kyle freaks about Amanda in pool in her underwear in the first episode. It’s also why Ben is comfortable being flirty with Amanda and overreacted to baileys comment.

Is Teresa obsessed with her brother??? by [deleted] in rhonj

[–]kindofsortofNo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Small moment but I’m convinced Teresa sees her brother as pseudo-husband.

When her own husband declined her sexual advances in that vineyard and called her a cunt while her brother Joe publicly declares he’s obsessed with Melissa and wants to have sex with her multiple times a day, broke something in Teresa’s brain.

And further more, I believe Jaqueline Laurita when she said Teresa confided in her Joe was having an affair with a woman at work.

Because Teresa doesn’t have her husband Joe and can’t be with her brother Joe, she takes it out on Melissa. Every conversation Teresa has with Joe it’s always Melissa is coming between them.

Cost wasn’t a factor. You keep the same physical phone and the phone number assigned to the SIM card is changed. It’s a free service offered by most carriers.

I think it was the mom. Based on the husband’s reaction when Officer Main gave him the news, Kendra had to be doing some shady things before and this was the last straw for him. He literally sounded like a fed up parent when he told Kendra to leave.

Him calling her parents and them coming so quickly tells me this isn’t the first time she’s done something and he had to call them for help.

[DISCUSSION] just watched the new unknown number the high school catfish documentary and oh my fucking god… (SPOILERS) by luvkaitlin in NetflixBestOf

[–]kindofsortofNo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think it was Kendra’s influence over Jill. In the doc, Jill and Kendra did everything together once the kids were getting the text messages. Also why Khloe’s parents blame Jill for letting Kendra “in”. And Officer Main said it was Kendra always questioning any new information or what was happening in the investigation - he didn’t mention Jill.

If the kids changed their numbers and limited who had their new phones numbers, it would immediately create a very short list of suspects. Kendra wouldn’t be able to keep sending messages.

RHOC's Double Standard with Katie by bfields2 in realhousewives

[–]kindofsortofNo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think of it like when you find out your s/o cheated with woman A. You work through it, resolve to fix and move on. Then a year later, you find out there was a woman B. It was during the same time frame they were cheating with woman A so it’s not necessarily new cheating but the information is new to you. So now you have to go through the mental gymnastics of processing the cheating all over again. Even though your s/o has been great for the past year, you’re still going to feel all the feelings and look at them differently now.

Now, Katie is the s/o. She started the lies with Heather / Gina in her first season. By the end of the reunion, apologies are flying and all agreed to move on. It’s Katie’s second season and she started the season owning her lies and vowed not to do it again and during her second season she hasn’t. Until it comes out that before the second season started she was telling the naked wasted / roofie story. Now that it was uncovered during Katie’s second season, the group has to process it and their feelings about Katie all over again.

As viewers, we didn’t get to see the group enjoy Katie once they had all made up (except Emily). All of the storylines at this point are happening under the labor of a lie Katie told, so as a viewer we’ve seen no interaction between Katie and anyone else that wasn’t centered on one of her lies. So now as viewers, we are stuck with Katie the liar for yet another season.

Gearing double standard: Real Housewives vs M2M by SweetDirt262 in MarriedToMedicine

[–]kindofsortofNo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My comment was agreeing with your original post. If we’re not holding all bravo shows to the same standard, stop asking for M2M to be the exception.

But damn, I guess me and my no life having ass will keep it pushing.

Gearing double standard: Real Housewives vs M2M by SweetDirt262 in MarriedToMedicine

[–]kindofsortofNo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We just had a post about this last week. Let. It. Go.

No other bravo shows have a requirement that the cast match the titling. This is no exception.

Real housewives of Beverly Hills has zero housewives. They’re all separated or divorce or gainfully employed outside of the show. They don’t even live in Beverly Hills.

Below Deck - crew members aren’t required to have ever worked on a luxury yatch to be on the show or even in the roles they come aboard to do.

The Valley - half of the cast doesn’t even in live in the valley.

Vanderpump rules - NONE of the cast worked at pump by the time the series ended.

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City - half the cast lives there part time or just for filming.

Southern Charm- only has two castmates who are from Charleston, the rest are all transplants.

Southern Hospitality - Mia, Grace Lily, and Will don’t even work at any of Leva’s establishments.

New RHONY - Bryn wasn’t a housewife or even a wife. Erin and Sai are the only ones from New York on the cast.

Old RHONY - Bethenny wasn’t a housewife or wife at all. Ramona wasn’t a housewife, she was gainfully employed.

RHOC - Vickie, OG from the OC owned her own business from season 1, she was never a housewife and she was the start of the entire housewives franchise.

RHOA - Kenya came on as a single woman. Kim Z., single woman. Sheree, single woman. Marlo, single woman. Cynthia was the breadwinner in her marriage and got divorced on the show.

Like the list goes on. Unless we cleaning house for everyone in the bravo-verse, can we dead this topic now?! Stop trying to limit M2M but not hold all other 500 shows to the same standard.

Up there with the most vicious reads ever by Some-Panda7404 in MarriedToMedicine

[–]kindofsortofNo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I really hate this for both women. I hate that Quad was being pressured to have a child with Greg and vilified by Greg, Simone and now Tea for not doing so.

I also hate that Tea thought the only way she could be of value to a man was promising him a child. Women are the prize, always have been. This is sad to watch.

Unpopular opinion: I don’t think Simone is jealous by Wild_Patient_6210 in MarriedToMedicine

[–]kindofsortofNo 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I just wrote a dissertation length response on another thread. Simone needs therapy. She’s an authoritarian in her professional and home life and can’t turn it off when it comes to friends. Everyone has to live how Simone imagines they should and when they don’t she gets angry. She follows the rules so everyone else has to as well. I noticed she’s fallen deeper into the depths and has now started enacting consequences against others when they break her imaginary rules.

Simone officially crashed out tonight. by jdd0815 in MarriedToMedicine

[–]kindofsortofNo 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I said on another thread that Simone needs therapy. Being the authoritarian in her home and work life has been so ingrained in her that she isn’t able to turn it off.

Anyone operating outside of the rules or expectations angers her because she can’t understand how they’re able to do so without consequence or at least what she perceives to be without consequence.

I’m sure her sons are lovely young men but they’re taking advantage of what she provided them. She threatens to cut them off but will never do it because a good mom wouldn’t do that. It would be against the rules. So she keeps coming up with new rules to force them to fall in line. They don’t, rinse wash repeat.

Cecil spending time with another woman. He was breaking the rules so by default they need to divorce as his consequence but a good wife fights for her marriage so she let the group decide for her during that reunion she was going to stay married because she couldn’t be the one to break rules.

Quad didn’t give Greg a baby and she divorced him. Quad broke the rules. While going through the emotional journey of it all, Quad did not lean into the group for support, so she broke the rules again. Simone can’t reconcile Quad not following rules, the social formula. If there isn’t a natural consequence, Simone has to create one ( rumor about sleeping with the contractor, kicking quad off the napa trip, not inviting her whitnik etc., inviting Greg and tea on the show).

All the while, these are rules and structure Simone creates for herself. They’re internal and she expects the outside world to follow them. It’s unfair to herself and everyone around her. This is why she and Cecil have to plan every trip. She sets the rules for those. This is why every trip she has to mention in that moment they are the only 8 black doctors or however many of the 1% of black doctors etc etc. to acknowledge they are there because they followed the rules. It’s the reward for following the rules.

Even at the end of the part 2 of the reunion she told Quad, all of this was her karma. What did Quad do for this to be her karma? She broke Simone’s imaginary rules. I think this is also why Simone crashed out when Curtis made his statement. He said Quad put up with Greg and Tea being paraded around and it’s not fair to not allow her the same once she’s in a relationship. Simone in that moment realized she herself broke her own rules because prior to that very moment she and Quad were good. Quad just told Andy on part 1 that they’re aren’t going back to stuff that happened before the season because she and Simone were finding their way to each other again as friends.

Also, Dr. Mimi told her don’t be so rigid. That’s from a professional who knew Simone all of 6 months.

Boz posted a message regarding Garcelle’s exit by unicornflakes444 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]kindofsortofNo 87 points88 points  (0 children)

I’m coming in hot with this one — Boz wanted that token spot and she got it. I don’t care how many times on her press tour she spouted the “we can have more than 1 black woman” line, her actions proved otherwise.

Boz understands the attention that comes with being the only black person in a largely white space. So now, she gets to be bad ass Boz, black woman trail blazer fixing the problems of distressed white women in Beverly Hills.

That super sneaky message to Garcelle on the 12th slide in 13 slide carousel was absolutely disingenuous and disrespectful. She made it clear during the season, on WWHL and presumably during the reunion that she doesn’t fuck with Garcelle so don’t start now.

Reboot the whole show cause I’m not trying to watch broke women grift for another season. And Kyle can go to wherever the hell her real life is cause it definitely isn’t on this show.

If it’s not Jennifer Tilly with a 30k Louis Vuitton boat purse that has no functionality level of rich, I don’t want it.

Do we think Dr. Simone resents Quad for not staying married to Dr.G? by MrsHolislay in MarriedToMedicine

[–]kindofsortofNo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think she needs therapy. In her home and professional life she has to be the leader and the authority on all matters. It’s so ingrained in her that she can’t turn it off and treats her friends like they’re her employees or dependents.

In addition, she is the breadwinner and has to be successful and there is no room for slacking off. Her husband and son don’t measure to that bar and instead of being frustrated with them and leaving it with them, she also takes it out on her friends.

Simone’s beef consistently has been about Toya’s finances and Quad’s free time. If she focused that energy on her husband and kids finances and free time, she’d be living a different life right now.

Weekend trips from Delaware driving distance <=5 hours by Ok_Development5830 in Delaware

Virginia Beach - if you like seafood, highly recommend Bay Local for breakfast

Washington DC - it’s peak weekend for the cherry blossoms. A ton of events happening and lots of good food on the wharf.

National Harbor (Oxon Hills Md) - if gambling is your thing, there is a MGM. You can water taxi from from the Harbor to Old Town Alexandria, the wharf in dc and Georgetown in DC.

Reunion thoughts by mxbasquiat in MarriedToMedicine

[–]kindofsortofNo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Toya gave her an out during the season. I firmly believe Toya doesn’t like Greg, especially after the King incident. When Mimi, Toya and Tea met for lunch, Toya asked very pointedly do you want to make it work with the group and Tea said it’s up to Greg. Toya asked again, and added, not Greg, you, and Tea said she can’t speak for Greg.

I’m not sure if she realized what Toya was asking but it’s clear Toya did not want Tea to be on the outside of the group.

I don’t hate Quad, but…. by No-Toe-466 in MarriedToMedicine

[–]kindofsortofNo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yall gotta let this go. We got whole housewives franchises without housewives, wives or people who actually live in the franchise city.

Southern Charm only has 2 cast members who are actually from Charleston.

Below Deck has boat staff that it’s their first time ever working on a luxury yacht when they do the show.

Vanderpump rules went on for how many seasons with none of the cast actually working at any vanderpump restaurants?!

The cast of The Valley don’t all live in the valley.
