First I must address Taylor’s dress. She’s like the fifth Bravoleb/Housewife to wear this, or something very similar and the same brand.
You’re telling me she had no idea Gina and Tamra wore it last season on OC, and worse yet, pretty sure Olivia also wore it. I think there’s one more too.
It’s from Revolve if anyone is interested. Only an XXS or S are available. I think it’s ugly.
Austen looks a little chubby and he’s trying to pull off a cumberbund.
Venita looks cute, but it looks uncomfortable.
Leva’s dress – okay love the color, but it’s not fitting her correctly, if you know what I mean.
Please tell me why she feels the need to grab her tit as she enters the stage. We see them Leva. And I would say if you can’t go down a step without your tit flopping out, your dress is probably ill-fitting and/or inappropriate. Andy’s probably looking at her like what the fuck.
So no one knew Madison was pregnant unil she walked on stage?
Don’t mean to mention breasts again in the first two minutes, but in true Madison fashion, she mentions her tits immediately. When Andy hugs her she says they hurt.
Is there ever a point when she won’t feel the need to talk about them constantly? It’s getting weird. Even at four months pregnant, I’m surprised she’s dressed so conservatively.
Austen seems bothered. He’s still in love with her.
I can’t believe Brett is still with her.
Whose dress was the most expensive you ask? That would be Madison’s Tom Ford at over $4,000. Venita’s go-go girl get-up is second at $2,700.
Leva’s is sold out at Revolve.
So much Venita and JT drama has been happening since filming wrapped.
He has a girlfriend, he doesn’t have a girlfriend. Like make up your mind. He looks uncomfortable and trying to look smug but failing.

Getting into it, Craig maintains there were no signs of Paige’s unhappiness when they were alone. We can’t speak to that, but she was rolling out the red flags during filming, which was most likely on purpose to have a ‘thing.’
Guess she was more worried about that, and viewers knowing than Craig knowing.
But you can see his confusion right? Can we at least give him that?
The break-up timeline is discussed. We already know he procrastinated announcing it, probably hoping she would change her mind.
“Go find myself” was her reasoning she gave. That’s code for she’s just not into you anymore.
Paige the Queen of Quips, couldn’t come up with anything better besides that stupid chiches`? That’s right up there with ‘it’s not you, it’s me.’
I’m guessing the ‘keep the ring, maybe we’ll get married at BravoCon’ was a typical Paige cunty remark. Of all things to say at that point.
Most viewers knew she was never going to marry this man.
Craig is supposedly seeing a girl named Natalie Buffet. She’s 27, and I don’t thinks she’s Jimmy Buffet’s daughter as I saw previously, or related. She’s gorgeous. She doesn’t look like an asshole but that seems to be what he’s attracted to.
He didn’t trust Austen to let him know what was happening since he wasn’t ready to announce it. He has to know he and Shep are secretly rejoicing. Which is so bitchy of them.
“The person since the breakup is not the person I was with for three years.”
Good point. I don’t know how we went from “he’s the best boyfriend I’ve ever had” when she made the initial announcement on her pod, to the way she’s acting now.
I don’t think he was publicly bad mouthing her, he just didn’t ‘defend her’ that she wasn’t cheating on him. Probably because she was. Or talking to him at least.
She’s lashing out to viewers in comments and saying all kinds of bitchy crap, a lot like she was on camera towards him. So not sure why Craig thinks she’s this totally different person now.
Why would Andy ask him why he didn’t ‘beg her.’ Why would he do that? Has Andy like ever even been IN an actual relationship. You don’t beg or guilt-trip someone like a pathetic loser that’s telling you they went out.
She was literally just trying to confuse him it seems to me.
‘I want to break up.’
‘But why aren’t you fighting for me?’
‘Let’s get married at BravoCon.’
Leva keeps playing with her tits. Does she want JT to look at them? He tries not to look as she claims she can’t get up or she’ll “fall right out of the dress.”
She’s an idiot. This read like a desperate cry for attention from JT.
I didn’t get what sense that even made. He doesn’t ‘think’ you had an affair with him. Pretty sure he would remember that.
He SAID, perhaps Brett was jealous and maybe HE thought something happened on the cast trip, because she was wearing his fucking clothes for whatever reason.
This should NOT be this complicated. Production really let her go with this talking point when it makes no sense whatsoever.
From JT’s point of view, even if you can’t stand him, he is kind of an acquired taste, you can see this was probably awkward.
Madison claims it’s lunacy that Brett was jealous, when in fact, it sounds like he was.
Was he acting insane, and ranting and raving? No because he’s an actual mature adult, which we rarely see on Bravo.
And of all guys to be jealous of, or annoyed with, on the cast, it’s JT?
He never said the call was aggressive, Venita. Shut up.
Leva gets involved, and at first I was yelling at the TV, however she made the point I’ve been making, so I allowed it. Haha. How JT just mentioned it was an awkward situation. Did he even say ‘affair?’
Madison looks like ‘yeah, I guess that is kind of what happened.’
And then Leva quickly does annoy me telling Craig “don’t gas light me” When he tries to interrupt and correct her.
Does ANYONE on Bravo even know what that term means? Clearly not.
Correcting or disagreeing isn’t gas lighting.
Being argumentative isn’t gas lighting.
Getting someone ‘fired up’ isn’t gas lighting.
Lying isn’t gas lighting.
Provoking isn’t gas lighting.
It’s literally a pattern of abusive behavior, usually in a RELATIONSHIP (not just someone you are having a disagreement with) where the ‘gas lighter’ tries to convince the victim they’re crazy by intentionally warping their perception and memory, thereby having control over the victim. The term is from an old movie from the 40’s about an abusive husband trying to drive his wife crazy by constantly manipulating her environment, starting with the lights. Hence the term gas lighting.
JT the parrot follows fucking suit and repeats to Craig “you’re gas lighting ME.”
No ding dongs, he’s just being plain old fashioned rude and defensive. We don’t always need to use buzz phrases.
I don’t really get why Craig is so fired up at Leva. I think because he knows he repeated the story with the ‘affair’ narrative and caused the whole ruckus.
Oh my God is he ‘gas lighting?’
I don’t know that Craig intentionally ‘lied’ but he chose different wording. This is not that deep.
Madison kind of walks all of this back and apologizes, I’m assuming because she knows it took on a life it didn’t need to take on.
JT accepts it and also apologizes, but maintains it made him uncomfortable and attempts to explain to her that if it was reversed, she would feel uncomfortable too.
He made the mistake of trying to communicate with her like she’s an adult with a brain.

Shep is up to explain why he thought he and Sienna were so in love.
My take was that she didn’t throw herself at him, and profess her love, so he immediately was into her. For some reason that’s what women usually do with him, and I don’t get it.
Taylor is so over him, literally. I love it. I don’t even think she’s pretending or ‘gas lighting.’ She just does not care. I think Shep is kind of flabbergasted at that.
He apologizes for commenting that Sierra was ‘like so much more awesomer than Taylor.’
He’s such a fucking embarrassing man-child. And that’s putting it nicely. At least he feels stupid about it.
Not the text. Do we need to discuss ‘the text?’
Shep gets all around accolades for being ‘vulnerable.’ Sienna won’t shut up on social media yammering about him. But she doesn’t care you know.
I guess Molly doesn’t think to take a page out of her playbook and act disinterested and aloof if she wants to get his attention.
She and Shep did hook up after that event on the finale. He probably just wanted to go to her house to play with the door knocker’s balls again.
It pains me to say this, but they really do look good together. They’re sitting so close and he has his arm sort of around her but not really. I don’t think he’s at all interested though. She’s too old and fat. Even though she’s ten years younger than him, and I don’t think she’s fat, but I’m sure Shep does because she’s not a 00.

The JT/Venita of it all is on deck.
It was not a manufactured romance for story line purposes they insist.
I don’t think you should tell viewers to ‘fuck off’ Venita, for having opinions.
Maybe don’t bite the hand that feeds you.
We do know that you all are pressured to have ‘story lines’ before filming starts, and if you don’t, well sometimes production makes suggestions. And if you don’t like the suggestions, you’re out. It’s a fact. We know this now. So it’s not far-fetched in the least bit.
“Why keep your girlfriend a secret?” Andy asks.
Then a whole diatribe of stutters and half-uttered words and noises. So that definitely seems sketchy. Maybe this was HIS story line, but not Venita’s.
He gets shit for accepting the dinner invite, eating, then telling her he has a girlfriend and he’s not interested in her.
He still can’t really explain himself.
Isn’t this ‘girlfriend’ like pissed off? Or was she in on it??
I have to say, he looks kind of pathetic sitting on the couch having to own all of this.
I’m glad we have Rodrigo present to give the occasional chuckle here and there. He got a better spot than Taylor, so that’s pretty sad. He’s basically a part-timer.
Remember how they were besties for the first two episodes? I told you that was a production order because Taylor wasn’t really friends with any of the girls. Give her the gay guy! You could tell he couldn’t stand her.
Back to this. The timeline of JT and Venita’s romance is in question.
Venita explains as of September, he was no longer with this mystery girl that I guess didn’t mind being cheated on playing out on a TV show.
They start dating and seeing each other and talking regularly.
Other girl gets pissed and starts sending Venita bitchy messages.
Ventia tells him to handle it. He refuses.
She ghosts him. He doesn’t try to reach her.
He said he did.
She gets up to get her phone going the wrong way but playing it off that she meant to do it.
Producers loser her. She took the scenic route.
She returns. Molly makes the ‘receipts – timeline – screenshots!’ joke.
I think there are three parts?? Was there really that much going on that we need three parts. No, there wasn’t.
