Lindsey & Kyle really are like siblings lol. They may squabble, but they have love for each other at the end of the day.

This is the best look Amanda could pop out with? Hell, Raquel had to battle a whole room of people, and even she was dressed better than that! That sloppy half-bun, girl, don't piss me off, lmao.

I know a lot of ppl probs don't trust Jesse crying and/or giving him the side-eye, but Idk, his crying tugged at my heartstrings! I...don't get the vibe that he was aware and keeping it on the DL like Schwartz did for Sandoval. I think he had suspicions, but hell, ATP, we know they all did. I have a soft spot for Jesse, okay, shoot me lol

"And no one in the world has ever been in a situation like this before" - what....exactly was that supposed to do, Amanda?? What point did you think you were proving there? Like, yes, there are definitely shitty people in the world, so your point is that you're just another apple in the bunch? ALSO ALSO ALSO, if the best you can get is the guy who had a situationship with your close friend, that sounds like a skill issue. Like, sorry, babes, no, I'm not that insecure that the best guy I can get on my arm is my friend's sloppy seconds. GET YOUR WEIGHT UP

"He's with you to spite me" - OH CIARA YOU SERVEDDDDD

Your girl is crying, saying she needs a break, and you're just sitting there, solemn? Two other women are having to tell you to go after your girl? And we're supposed to believe this is a serious relationship???? I have to laugh.

3 people have shown emotion, and, just like always, West is sitting there looking like a busted can of biscuits, with not a single emotion visible on his face.

Jesse told you he feels like he's losing a BROTHER, and nothing?????? He even said he doesn't find you redeemable and CRICKETS.

Not even speaking up to defend his paramour. And Amanda, this is who you decided to end friendships over?????????

I actually have mixed feelings regarding this lol.

It actually irked me a lot that Ciara kept giving him the time of day after he did her wrong the first time around, lol. I am someone who thinks that Dr. Maya Angelou was on to something when she said that when someone shows you who they are, believe them.

Obvs, we're not privy to what West was saying to Ciara behind closed doors, but I've always felt that for West it was more about fixing how the public viewed him. So basically, all that Dara said about him in the reunion is how I've felt about him since the beginning lol.

That being said, I can understand that Ciara was really trying to not be so guarded and closed off. And I have to believe that whatever West was saying to her when the cameras weren't rolling, or whatever he was doing that we never saw, was more sincere & genuine than what we saw on screen.

Once you get caught up & watch it, you might see it differently, but there's just nothing I've seen of West on my screen that made me go, "yes, this man deserves a second chance with Ciara." And I stand by that to this day lol.

So I can recognize that Ciara thought she saw something genuine in West & was hopeful about giving him this second chance, but I can also say without a doubt that West would never have had the chance to play in my face twice lmao.

Amanda's betrayal hits harder (to me) simply bc she was supposed to be Ciara's best friend. I don't expect (much) loyalty from guys I've dated, or even from a guy I'm in a situationship with. But damn, if you can't trust a best friend, why the hell are you best friends with them?

So I did see that the busted can of biscuits won't be returning next season, and I'm totally fine with that. I rejoice in that honestly. My only worry is that if he's gone and Amanda does come back, Kyle & Lindsay are going to use West's absence as another opportunity to rewrite history and make us all believe that West manipulated Amanda and that she's more a victim than a villain.

But a part of the reason Amanda is acting this way with Ciara is that she knows that Ciara ain't really going to try anything.

Cause see, people like Amanda, they act this way bc they haven't come across the right one yet. Not someone like Lindsey who just says they're going to get activated. She's talking out the side of her neck and raising her voice because no one has shown her what happens when you come across the right one.

And I understand why Ciara is carrying herself a certain way because she has too much to lose. But please understand, Amanda would never get like that with a Porsha Williams or a Monique Samuels. Cause Amanda ain't really about it like that.

I've never even been a big fan of Ciara on the show. My first thought when Paige announced her departure was wait, but Ciara is more likeable when Paige is around.

And not only that, but I used to ride for Amanda because I thought she was too good for Kyle. I wanted better for her.

And when I tell you I've been getting whacked left & right (in social media & in my groupchats) because I knew from the beginning that West was trash, but I couldn't see through Amanda.

Andy assuring people that every question was asked means nothing when you remember that he's bad at pushing back when someone tries to pussyfoot around the question that he's asking. He's also quick to be like, "Well, I want to move on".

Another thing is, 9 times out of 10, he doesn't even really ask the important questions.

As much as it pains me to say, because now she's a bird that's gone off the deep end, Nicki Minaj's segment hosting the RHOP reunion truly was lightning in a bottle because she was actually asking the questions that fans had her on mind. You could tell she was actually listening to what people were saying on social media that season. She was not just allowing them to skirt around answers.

And if Andy were smart, he would have learned from that and tailored how he conducted these reunions. But it's 2026, and he hasn't improved a damn thing.

the "men", being Noah and West: *two characters that I hc as enby the most*

me: oh right...but I still sort of ship her with Hunter, so...
