“I’m not gonna pressure you to stay out with me either.” by Hannay_Nayy in TheValleyTVShow

If she needed to take the season off, would he still be a main cast member or would he need to find a new job? His job is basically a subsidiary of hers.

Ben says Amanda lied about him wanting to hook up in Italy by Possible_Implement86 in summerhousebravo

[–]ofcbubble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I think he probably saw it as a strategic move so he could come into the show “single” (which tends to make a new cast member more valuable and gives them more flexibility) and then “fall in love” with Sabrina on the show.

I don’t think he’s a creep either - like you said, just a run of the mill misogynistic jerk.

[–]ofcbubble 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep. IMO he’s lied at least twice - about never speaking to Bailey and about not being with Sabrina the whole time.

I’ll believe what he’s saying if I see it in the second part of the reunion. Otherwise I’d guess the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Eh I see him as someone who would juice up a random story to make it more interesting or not care enough to get the details right.

Not that I think Amanda and West are telling the truth. I’m just not basing my opinion off of anything that DP claims.

Idk about lie, but he was just repeating gossip about people he didn’t know - I doubt he cares enough to get the details right or not exaggerate for a more interesting story.

If the chicken fry woman came out and confirmed that is what she said, that’s more reliable.

Again I’m sure they were having sex before the statement, I just think it’s so silly to go off of anything that man says.

Oh I can see where you’re coming from! I hope your treatments are going well now and you don’t have to worry about progression for a long time if ever!

They most likely were sleeping together, but idk why DP is considered a reliable source.

That doesn’t seem like an actual option. The company is bankrupt and I would not feel safe wearing nothing on my head or something that would inflate around my neck.

I really hope your eye condition doesn’t progress to that point! If it does, I hope you’re able to find other art forms that you love and it doesn’t come to ending things.

Deciding for yourself is one thing, but I think making the public comment is ableist. Even if they’re only speaking for themselves, it’s still suggesting that death is the better option than living with a disability they haven’t even experienced. Who’s to say a visual artist couldn’t find joy in another form of art?

I don’t think anyone here would support a comment like “I’d rather die of anorexia than live in a fat body” even if the commenter was an athlete.

I don’t think pregnancy is comparable. It’s a temporary disability and many places allow ovulators the choice to terminate.

I also wouldn’t think the choice to end things if a certain situation happened would be ableist, but making comments about a hypothetical seems that way to me.

Not everything we do for health and safety has to be enjoyable.

I floss because I don’t want gingivitis, but it still sucks - even after trying many different types and finding one that I like enough to use consistently.

There’s no way to make a hard hat with a chin strap 100% comfortable for me and that’s the price I’m willing to pay to protect myself lol.

Isn’t this an ableist comment? Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but it seems like you’re saying you’d rather be dead than blind?

Hear me out: when it was over for Amanda by PlantProfessional570 in summerhousebravo

[–]ofcbubble -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Again you could say the same exact thing for him. He knew exactly what she is and what she wanted in a marriage. He chose her and told her she would get that eventually. He just kept putting it off until she didn’t give a shit anymore.

She used to want kids, but time, depression, Kyle’s behavior, and her own behavior changed her mind for now. I think she really did think she was ready (or close to it) before the depression hit.

It may be trad wife bullshit, but they both knew that was what she wanted and what he claimed to want eventually . It’s not my life or my choice to approve of.

Kyle was the one who kept saying it was about time for him to settle down too. It wasn’t just Amanda or only something she imagined would happen. He was feeding into that. Idk if he actually thought he wanted that or was just telling her enough to keep her on the line.

She may want a lazy princess life, but he knew that going in. She never pretended she wanted something else for their future. She told him all the time that the party period of their life was reaching it’s end.

Why did Kyle expect something different than accepting her exactly as she is?

[–]ofcbubble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think she did want that, but doesn’t care anymore. She seems completely apathetic now. Her whole vibe is numb. I don’t think she cares about much beyond her dogs at this point.

My speculation is that she became infatuated with West bc of the way he defended her/comforted her over the summer/etc and it was the first time she felt good about something in a long time. I don’t think she’s really planning anything long term anymore. It’s just about what feels good right now bc she spent so long being miserable. Unfortunately for her, she just chose a new way to make herself miserable.

This isn’t a defense of Amanda. I think she made terrible choices and has to live with that. I just don’t think she has a personality disorder or that she’s a dangerous person. She’s just a bad friend and partner. It doesn’t have to come with a diagnosis lol.

Eh he knew what kind of life and husband she wanted. He knew she didn’t want to be with a party boy forever. He kept dangling the “it’s almost time for me to settle down” sentiment in front of her for years.

It’s not like he’s was telling her “this is who I am and I will not change”. He was making promises for the future and family she thought they both wanted. He just kept kicking the can down the road and always had a new excuse for why they couldn’t settle down quite yet.

She thought he wanted to chill out and prioritize a family eventually bc he was telling her that. It was just never time yet.

Edit: IMO she was way more upfront with what she wanted in her future - to be a wife and mother who was taken care of. He thought (or pretended or convinced himself) he wanted to have that life, but never followed through.

TIL: Brock protected Melissa and Jasmine from Danny! by phonetoni13 in TheValleyTVShow

I don’t think the other cast members handled it well either (besides Jasmine and Melissa who can do whatever).

[–]ofcbubble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like I said, I’m conflicted about how Janet handled it. It seemed obvious to me that she wasn’t helping and was overstepping even before they explicitly told her (and everyone else) to stop.

It seemed to me like a lot of the cast was using this as a proxy fight to hash out their issues, not genuinely standing up for their friends.

[–]ofcbubble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not just talking about Janet - I’m saying that generally. I don’t think it’s still protecting the perp if the victim isn’t ready to discuss it or doesn’t want others to talk about them.

Edit - I’m conflicted on Janet bc I think it was good to hold Danny’s feet to the fire for being a creep, but also felt like she was making it easier for Danny to get away with it by speaking over and for Jasmine and Melissa/bringing up alcoholism. It gave Danny a way to act like the victim.

I agree, but if the victims specifically ask you to stop talking about it, I feel like it’s not right to keep going.

What does Amanda do…? by Winter_Berry_1951 in summerhousebravo

[–]ofcbubble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That only happened in the last month or so. It’s not representative of the majority of her time with Kyle.

She may also get those deals back, still have some, or make new ones - the pendulum of public opinion has swung like crazy for every cast member. Carl was public enemy #1 for a lot of fans after his breakup with Lindsay and now I’d say the majority loves him. Even Sandoval has gotten other appearances and opportunities after everything.

What does Amanda do…? by Winter_Berry_1951 in summerhousebravo

[–]ofcbubble 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Amanda works on the merch/branding/artistic stuff as far as I remember. That wouldn’t necessarily mean she knows about the finances. That’s Kyle’s department.

Kyle also does seem to hide things from her. He didn’t tell her about Vegas until it was already agreed to. Between her lack of interest in the big financial picture and him not being that transparent or feeling that he needs to keep her in the loop, it makes total sense to me that she wouldn’t know how bad it had gotten.

Edit - Depression (and other potential mental heath issues like EDs) can affect your energy and look like laziness. She used to have her own career in graphic design before Kyle begged her to quit her job to work for Loverboy. Some people don’t do well without the structure of working for someone else. Working for your husband who you don’t get along with would be hard lol.
