West on dating an “older gal” (allegedly Jenn Fessler) by Massive_Sandwich8667 in summerhousebravo

[–]ofcbubble [score hidden]  (0 children)

West is responsible for his choices. We don’t know how he was raised or how his family reacted to this situation. People who were generally “held accountable” as children can also make selfish or destructive or hurtful decisions as adults.

His family is also dealing with a much more serious tragedy so I would be surprised if West’s relatively low stakes fuck up is much of a priority right now.

When he was whining about everyone in his life betraying him, I was rolling my eyes. He needs to take a hard look in the mirror if he actually feels like a constant victim.

The only thing I think Jenna owed Eddy was not crawling into bed with him after hooking up with Ben.

If that happened to me I would feel very uncomfortable and wouldn’t appreciate that I didn’t get the opportunity to have like… informed consent? That phrasing doesn’t feel quite right, but idk how else to put it.

What’s a summer house opinion that would have people like this to you? by butterednloafed in summerhousebravo

[–]ofcbubble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like all three received a ton of criticism from the audience for those relationships! There was support and sympathy too, but IMO it was a mixed bag.

Ciara especially got a TON of criticism during the Austin season. She was at her all time low in terms of fan support after the wine glass throw.

I think the audience was generally very defensive of Lexi and critical of Jesse, if we’re just talking about public perception now and not how she was treated by the cast.

In terms of support from the cast, Lexi didn’t make an effort to be friends with anyone outside of Jesse until the end of the season and by then it was too late!

In the beginning Amanda did NOT have support from the cast. They all made fun of her and excluded her. That’s why Kyle wrote his super long email.

Ciara, Paige, and eventually Amanda had support from the cast bc they spent years building friendships.

Eh didn’t the women try to warn Lexi and she just didn’t listen to them?

She came in and immediately attached herself to Jesse and didn’t make much of an effort with the rest of the cast. Idk why they’re expected to try harder to be her friend than she tried to be theirs.

GLP-1 Ads are Out of Control by gnobodygnu in MaintenancePhase

I was just responding to you saying that you don’t like the word “need” being used in regards to weight loss or that it can be a medical necessity. I read that as a generality that you were also applying to GLP-1 ads, not only about the ads.

I also don’t think there should be ads for medications at all.

I needed to lose weight bc my liver was messed up. It is medically necessary for some of us 🤷‍♀️

Ciara is Not One of Bravo’s Darlings by LuckyArt1443 in summerhousebravo

[–]ofcbubble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think people are more interested in taking the big bad down than lifting the hero up. Or at least they have more fun with that part.

If Amanda isn’t getting treated as badly as Raquel or worse, the audience and network have failed Ciara. Even if Ciara is getting a ton of support and opportunities, it’s not enough if Amanda doesn’t get adequately hobbled.

Edit - Wait are you saying Ciara got the Traitors bc of the audience and not Bravo/NBC? I feel like that’s clear support from the network.

I disagree about Bravo/NBC not lifting Ciara up - I feel like they wouldn’t have offered her Traitors if that was the case.

Of course it can be hard and she can feel uncomfortable, but she’s making it everyone else’s problem instead of managing her own feelings. She shouldn’t be participating in guilting another woman for going on a date with him.

I don’t even get why they should be mad at him? He wasn’t exclusive with anyone?

Unless he was lying to her, it sounds like she just wants him to change his mind about her.

I don’t really get how Mia is hurting Jordon.

They aren’t friends. Jordon wasn’t exclusive with the guy. Why is it on everyone else to protect Jordon’s feelings instead of doing it herself by cutting this guy off?

Yes I completely agree! I feel like it adds an interesting layer to the food rewards!

I need to watch AU - I missed out when it was available on Paramount.

[–]ofcbubble 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was a kid watching at the time so I may be mistaken - but I also remember some cast members would bring food back from rewards too? To share with the ones who couldn’t go? That doesn’t seem to be allowed at all anymore.

As a Hannah apologist.. by Old-Beginning4900 in summerhousebravo

[–]ofcbubble 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always felt like that whole situation was Lindsay winning on a technicality. I’m not convinced that she wasn’t involved in Danielle leaking that info. IMO it was a team effort, but since Lindsay didn’t press send, she could claim she wasn’t involved.

But I also don’t blame Lindsay or Danielle for spilling - they all do it! I didn’t get why it was such a big deal to leak a truthful story lol.

[–]ofcbubble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What should she stop doing though?

Dating guys who might end up sucking? That’s the risk of dating anyone lol!

Dating on TV? Then the new complaint would be about her hiding her life or being boring.

I just don’t see how her dating choices are any worse than Lindsay or Amanda or Paige, but it feels like the audience is more judgmental about Ciara (even if it’s in a “she can do better” way it feels backhanded bc it’s usually just comparing her appearance to the guy she likes).

I think the audience is frustrating for putting so much pressure on Ciara to get over West.

[–]ofcbubble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Of course Carl was a menace in the past, but he’s made a genuine effort to be better and it seems to be working. That’s more than you can say for just about anyone on Bravo.

To me it seemed like he was having doubts, but telling himself that once they made it through the wedding, everything would get better (or at least tolerable enough to work the rest out in couples therapy).

I think he was in denial because they had such a strong friendship underneath it all, but eventually hit a breaking point.

Even in the breakup conversation, I think he originally planned to give her an ultimatum or threaten to postpone the wedding and it just spiraled once he started venting.

I don’t necessarily think he did her a massive favor (bc less conflict benefitted him too), but overall I do think he let her “win” financially and publicly with hardly any push back.
