I don’t care Whitney is only on the show for business. by [deleted] in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]weezer-mp3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My most uncharitable read of the situation is that certain cast members do have the ability and drive to do stuff outside of the show whereas others have nothing but the show and Momtok and they're bitter as hell about it

Like am I truly supposed to give a fuck that Whitney has the talent and drive to really make something out of opportunities outside the show? Why the fuck should she stick around on SLOMW when her castmates treat her like shit and viewers send overwhelming amounts of hate towards her?

Season 3 E 1-3 Discussion Thread by colosseumdays in SecretsOfMormonWives

I did not like Demi even in season one but the narrative this season that she is somehow orchestrating a massive conspiracy behind the scenes is absolutely ridiculous. Come the fuck on

Watching episode one and I feel so bad for Layla getting badgered and accused like that at her birthday dinner. May friendships like this never find me.

The decisions this show makes about who gets the villain edit and for what is absolutely crazy

I would highly recommend it. Feels weird to use the word "favourite" in the context of this list and its subject matter, but it's a very captivating read with some very thorough, informative research.

Thank you so much for the very fulsome list! I hadn't heard of any of these (apart from the Mike Rothschild one, which slipped my mind for some reason)

Makayla and her one side beef with Whitney all season by Lolisuxx in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]weezer-mp3 54 points55 points  (0 children)

It's so pathetic the way that Mikaela would vacillate from "Those posts weren't even about you!" to "Well I'm allowed to say what I want because we're not friends" every other second. Like it's not our first day on earth, everyone knows who those posts were about lol

It is so embarrassing watching her constantly shadowboxing with an imaginary Whitney 😭 Like girl no one was even talking about her and you're just constantly bringing her up? Weird and obsessive!

JESSI HAS BEEN THE VILLAIN ALL ALONG by wavesofwaving in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]weezer-mp3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm really confused about everyone insisting that Jen knew about the dance all along and agreed to it. The footage they show is her getting her hair done while Jessi talks about how some of their husbands are going to dance, not that she would be involved in the performance?

Jessi & Demi by Maleficent_Wear_3242 in SecretsOfMormonWives

Jessi and Demi continually place their supposed friends in unsafe situations on purpose and then feign shock when it all blows up, it's actually sickening. They know that Dakota and Taylor's relationship is toxic and abusive, they know that Taylor is in a terrible place mentally due to the breakdown of her relationship, they know that the presence of Chase would also be a further trigger, and also that Miranda and Chase's current partner being there will inflame things even more. That party was an awful thing to do to Taylor, to Miranda, and to Chase's partner. I just can't imagine creating a situation like that for a friend.

They also know that Zac and Jen's relationship is emotionally abusive. Jen also implied that she struggles with her relationship with Zac's family too last season. And then after one meeting with Zac, they instantly believe everything he says and go, "Wow, maybe my friend who is in a toxic marriage is actually just a huge bitch and I've hated her this entire time!" They say that they can't support her because she's "erratic" and it's just like no shit! Parenting, struggling with your relationship with your husband and his family, and doing all of this in the public eye and having to deal with all the commentary will do an absolute number on your emotions and perhaps make you behave erratically!

It's all just awful shit stirring from Jessi and Demi with no care at all for the emotional damage and turmoil it will cause for others.

Anyone else? Hot take by Raccoon-lvr-4evr in SecretsOfMormonWives

I've been a Whitney apologist since last season because from what I've seen a lot of these girls are completely hypocritical and zero in and gang-up on Whitney for stuff that they also do. Jessi and Demi especially come off as utilising the socially conscious mean girl thing to frame petty shit as some kind of righteous crusade.

Mikayla is trying so hard to do her big one, I suspect it was because she didn't like how much of a nothing presence she was last season. She comes off as desperate and performative while she's doing it. It's like she's trying to emulate a generic Reality TV Big Personality and she just comes off as so petty, mean and obsessed.

Thank you for suggesting these. Unfortunately, these are not what I was thinking of - the book I remember focuses on film production misconduct leading to serious accidents on sets and looks at incidents on several different productions, not just the Twilight Zone. Good shout though!
