Amanda drops in on Lindsay. Two bottles of Rose in hand.
Of course she’s dressed like a slob, and couldn’t be bothered to spend ten minutes getting herself camera-ready.
Amanda has to be the only female Bravoleb that consistently films with little to NO makeup, nor her hair touched by an appliance.
Is she really THAT lazy?
Also nude leggings are the worst.
I think production did her dirty by zooming in on her shoes. What the hell is this?
Lindsay’s already been hitting the Rose.’ No judgment.
Her apartment is fucking massive. These brand deals are quite lucrative I see. This is like a dream NYC apartment.
When I first started watching, I forgot how rude Lindsay was to Amanda at the reunion. Amanda’s sitting here like nothing happened.
Lindsay’s not close with Ciara, although she’s pretending to be, and she’s definitely not close with Amanda. But here she is as a fierce defender of Ciara.
She is certainly NO relationship guru by any stretch. She’d do the same thing to a bitch she was ‘close friends’ with in a heartbeat over a guy. When Lindsay is pursing a dude, LOOK OUT. She’s nuts. She manages to not come off as pathetic, like Ciara, but she definitely goes in.
Why we have Amanda sitting here like a naughty school girl explaining herself to Lindsay like she’s the Principal, is laughable.
Lindsay pops out a baby to guy she was dating for ten minutes, and suddenly she’s Dumbledore.
So interesting how Amanda nor Worst have bothered to watch the episodes. Seems like they really don’t want to face their obvious lies they’re telling.
BUT I get it, most people that TELL LIES and do sketchy shit, would rather stick their head in the sand and not own it. You know if you keep TELLING YOURSELF, something didn’t happen, it’s almost as if it DIDN’T. Almost. Except people that you fucked with are STILL SUFFERING because of your dingdong behavior.
I’m sure it’s hard for Amanda to see Ciara telling her how great she is, and she can stand on her own two feet, and she should leave Kyle asap.
Be careful what you wish for…
Amanda quickly points out how it’s not that “anything was happening…” that she hasn’t watched, (presumably between her and Worst) it’s because she just can’t deal with ‘the internet’ right now.
Good job telling on yourself Amanda. Watching herself with Worst, knows it discredits their stupid timeline, is exactly why she’s not watching.
Liars always tell on themselves when they make a point to say they’re NOT doing something.
She whines how she’s has to ‘get off the internet.’ Watching the episodes isn’t the same as being on social media. Lindsay should’ve said that.
I can see why she wants to stay off of social media.
Everyone is making fun of her, and imitating and Worst like crazy. The Worst imitations are the best. Guys are like nailing his sketchy mannerisms and behaviors.
Mental health my ass, for not bothering to watch. It actually should be a requirement before they show up to the reunion.
She goes on and on about her anxiety…
Lindsay tells her to get her head out of the sand and suck it up.
Everyone thinking Lindsay’s entire personality has changed since having a baby, that just doesn’t happen. It’s not a thing.
It appears that way, because since she has a baby, she’s home more, and not getting out as much to find guys to be in dysfunctional relationships with and torment.
Amanda drones on with more word vomit excuses as to why she lied about Worst.
Lindsay scolds her that there is no excuse for ‘going for a guy that broke Ciara’s heart.’
Well “he pursued me” she claims. That’s not really a reason, but okay.
Lindsay tells her he’s saying the opposite. Apparently he ‘told Ciara’ this.
Why Ciara is giving him the time of day, and continuing to act like a jealous wife of 20 years, I do not know.
Let’s keep in mind the source though. Is Ciara lying? Probably not, but you can see why Worst would present it this way to Ciara.
He’s still trying to play nice with her.
Amanda opens up about what she probably felt weird about saying in front of him at the reunion, how he kept texting her asking her to do things with him in ‘’group texts’ (in Feb-March 2026, allegedly.)
There might be an element of truth to that, however she’s leaving out that they were secretly seeing each other and hooking up, so she may have just been bashful about being seen in public with him.
I can’t even fathom Ciara’s head exploding when she saw that Amanda was at Worst’s apartment in January.
It’s funny how Lindsay spits out the exact date, because I am sure Ciara drilled it into her head and said it 847 times. (January 17th – the new ‘October 3rd…)
I know Amanda loves this narrative that she’s made up in her head, that she keeps repeating, how one day they looked into each other’s eyes and said “omg wait what! Is there something here??”
Guarantee you that type of statement never happened.
I laughed OUT LOUD when Lindsay tells her she should have said “I am not doing that to Ciara.”
Should we recap the season of Lindsay taunting Ciara about Austen coming for her birthday and how he was going to sleep in HER room, when she knew Ciara liked him? Fighting over Austen is worse than fighting over Worst.
Granted Lindsay and Ciara weren’t ‘besties’ but for her to say with a straight face is extremely hypocritical.
Does Amanda get points for admitting to being selfish? I thinks so. When someone actually OWNS their behavior, that’s a good thing. That’s hard for some people. One person in particular coming to mind. Like it’s not that hard to just say you did something wrong, and apologize. I don’t get sticking with a lie that has caused so much damage, after like six years and living with yourself. It must suck to be both ugly on the outside AND on the inside.
Now after I give her ‘points’ I gotta take ‘em away because she looks up into the sky, and lies how she “doesn’t remember the reunion.”
Her excuses are SO stupid.
Worst is your person? Another party boy who cheats?
Difference between Kyle and Worst, is that Worst cheats with absolute malice and loves the deceit and lies. He and thinks it’s fucking cute.
Kyle, not saying it’s okay, gets blacked out drunk, and made out with random chicks. Not the same as having full-blown relationships with various women that don’t know about each other.
If ever there was a woman coming out of a long relationship that needed to be single for a while, it’s Amanda Batula. The fact that she rushed right directly into a relationship with this toxic dishonest douche lord, is so not what she should be doing.
You can tell Amanda is half-listening to Lindsay and not really absorbing anything she’s saying.
The expression on her face is almost like at the reunion – blank.
Why is she gingerly dabbing at her eyes like that when she’s wearing no makeup? The extra drama I guess.
While Lindsay IS making sense, the sanctimonious self-righteous BS coming from her is getting to be a little much.
Does she forget there’s ten fucking years worth of footage that discredits almost everything that she is saying?
She’s quite the manipulator in her own right. I would say what she did to Carl was pretty manipulative.
I feel like she reeled him in on false pretenses that she was in love with him, and you know, capable of acting fucking NORMAL in a relationship at this stage in her life. But as we know, with personality disorders, NOTHING can make you see the light and course correct. No therapy, no meds, no life lessons, no awareness of the extreme turmoil you’re causing, no nothing.
Just a blank dumb ass look on your face.
Back to this, Lindsay tries to explain to her that just because he makes her all tingly or whatever, that doesn’t mean he’s the guy for her. She denies that she had any type of THAT kind of attraction to him. It was just all about ‘the conversation.’ What a fucking big huge pile of SHIT, Amanda.
These two are NOT having intense convos. Amanda goes on some weird tangent about having kids with this juvenile POS. She can’t be serious.
Lindsay brings up Meija and how he was just hooking up with her in March, when Amanda thought they were together.
I wonder if these bitches were getting constant yeast infections like I used to from all of the constant double/triple dipping? Or are my lady parts just really sensitive?
Amanda seems out of it, as usual. She keeps repeating “no yeah” and acting as if she is disgusted with him, and is going to leave there and dump his ass.
It’s safe to say she didn’t do that, and had no intentions of doing that.
As Amanda is crying saying how she feels stupid, Lindsay tells her she SHOULD feel stupid.
They end with Lindsay making a Rose on Titanic reference, and telling her that he’s gotta go.

Worst shows up at Kyle’s for a discussion that was somehow excruciating, yet entertaining to sit through.
Right off the bat, Reese seems really really familiar with Worst.
One might say, since this was filmed in May, Worst and Amanda have been together he would have been around her, HOWEVER, didn’t Amanda take Ryder and Kyle kept Reese? Yes.
And I get it some dogs are extremely friendly with everyone, but the extent of her ‘friendliness’ with Worst?? This dog was loving on him like crazy. Worst had been frequenting this apartment when Kyle was out DJing half the night, clearly.
Kyle right away asks him if he’s been there before.
“No first time.” Sure Worst the compulsive fucking liar. Whatever you say. The way she ran and greeted him? Stop. A dog is not going to do that with a stranger.
You can even see the ‘oh shit this is going to be a problem’ look on his face when she runs up to him.
I think he slipped when he said “I know better.” What do you mean you know better? Seems like you’ve been around this dog a lot.
Worst even has this poor dog under his fucking spell.
He tries to ignore her jumping all over him.
As the discussion starts it’s clear that Worst is unprepared, as usual.
I think there’s a lot to be said about Kyle and Amanda’s marriage, how Kyle is taking on more of a fatherly role than that of a the jealous husband.
I think we already knew this, but it really brings to the surface how Kyle took care of Amanda in more of a fatherly way than a husband. Yes I think men should do things to be helpful, and ‘take care’ of their ladies to a point, but Amanda is very childish and did nothing for herself.
Kyle mentioned that a lot as an issue. She never really denied it, nor attempted to improve. Just like he never attempted to improve on his excessive drinking and staying out all night.
I can’t imagine Worst wants stuck with this type of girlfriend or wife, also being energetic and ‘social.’
The convo is starting off with a lot of awkward mumbo jumbo.
Worst is as bad as Amanda claiming he’s totally NOT doing exactly what he IS doing, agreeing to talk to Kyle post-reunion for the audience, when he’s had more time to plan and scheme, after he’s “soaked it all in.”
Even the dog looks over at Kyle like ‘surely you’re not buying this BS!’
Kyle keeps giving him these looks like he’s so onto him.
Compulsive LIARS are hysterical, that’s for sure. You’d think they’d be better at it. That was a pretty specific claim as to what you’re TOTALLY NOT doing, Worst
Kyle takes his dog back, who quickly darts back to Worst.
Kyle seems more worried about this friendship, than this guy stealing his wife. Let’s be real, Amanda wouldn’t have been ballsy enough to leave him if she didn’t have another dude at the ready to do everything for her.
Apparently Amanda was ready to ‘hop on a plane to do a podcast’ that Kyle talked her out of since she hasn’t watched the season, nor had seen the reunion at that point, since it hadn’t aired yet.
Worst hasn’t watched it either. Isn’t that convenient? Worst claims “he will.” Yeah Worst, sure you will.
If they haven’t watched it by this point, at the end of May, they’re not fucking watching it.
Kyle points out the weirdness of how Worst was fucking with Ciara by saying a bunch of shit he didn’t mean and hugging on her.
Yeah I couldn’t figure out why he was doing that after that ‘make-up’ talk at the dock. It didn’t seem necessary.
Kyle addresses his being a too touchy-feely with Amanda as well. He keeps saying “no-yeah” which I noticed Amanda always does.
Worst goes on to say he and Ciara did kiss twice after the filming ended, and then defends that he really wasn’t getting any warped enjoyment out of leading her on (sure Worst.) He brags how they met for a Giants game, and afterwards she wanted to go to his place and he refused to give her his address.
This was such a funny little blurb to me because it totally corroborates my ‘stalker’ theory. I realize that he did eventually give it to her, obviously, but in the early days of fall, he was reluctant because he knows how she gets.
What I also found interesting about this story is that Ciara STILL didn’t get the fucking hint that he does not want to be around her and does not like her, when he outright refused to give his address.
I’m curious about how her riding the bus home gave her an excuse to beg to go to his place? The bus doesn’t go to her building?? Like Girl, if a guy’s NOT inviting you over after an event, you don’t fucking invite yourself. Who DOES that?? What IS this disorder??
Can’t make this shit up.
He brags how he “tried to do the right thing a handful of times.”
Doing the right thing? Worst, that would be, being honest with her and telling her it’s not really a good idea for you all to be going on dates together.
Even though they weren’t ‘dates’ to Worst, he needed to comprehend they were to her, and with her level of obsession with him, it wasn’t a good idea that they hang out, or even talk regularly.
This girl clearly fooled him into that ‘besties’ label, as a way to hang out with him and pretend like he’s her boyfriend.
That was also a Scheana Shay tactic on VPR before she married Block. The two of them should be doing ads together, not Ciara and Ariana.
Now THAT’S funny.
Sounds like when he started to see how determined she was to get into his pants, he really tried to pump the brakes, but by then it was too late.
Kyle brings up Meija being a ‘secret girlfriend’ which she totally was.
From her and Ciara’s talk, sounds like Meija was kind of into to it. She didn’t know about Ciara and Amanda. She thought she was a secret because of the show. Which is sad.
He definitely doesn’t pick very smart women, and I kind of think that’s by design.
“She was operating like we had an exclusive relationship.”
Maybe that’s because that is what you were telling her?
Kyle reprimands him for not owning up to that at the reunion. He definitely did need to do that. ‘Wanted your cake and eat it too’ is so the perfect description.
It’s totally the hallmark of dudes that cheat on their wives and girlfriends. Especially wives.
The problem with Worst (well one of many) is that he has no confrontational nor even decent communication skills whatsoever.
As they discuss Meija, he wants a pat on the back for telling her he didn’t want to ‘meet the parents’ for the holidays, and how that was easier than breaking up with her. He thought erhaps she should have interpreted him not wanting to meet her family as a break-up.
Okay Worst. I mean it’s not a good sign, but it’s also not a break-up conversation either. Jesus Christ. Am I hearing this correctly? This dude is fucking demonic.
And bull to the shit that you were trying to “do the right thing.” You knew full goddamned well you were doing the absolute WRONG thing.
Kyle worries for Amanda because of his habitual lying.
Worst continues to still fight off and ignore Reese, a dog who he’s never seen in his life!
He gets that “it looks bad.” Good job Worst. Way to have a smidgen of self-awareness and a conscience.
He gets on a soapbox seemingly reassuring Kyle that he knows his history is bad, but the Amanda thing is different because it came from a friendship, and it’s not ‘performative.’ So that’s basically admitting Ciara was just for the purpose of the show??
Kyle asks if he thinks he can actually handle being faithful to someone. Kyle wasn’t exactly faithful either, but we know the story. We’ll let that slide.
Worst claims that he thinks he can but he does not sound or look at all confident.
Kyle: “Do you love her?”
Worst: “I care about her a shit ton.”
An entire shit ton, people. So romantic. Words every woman wants to hear.
Kyle: “How long have you had feelings for her?”
Worst: “February” while gritting his teeth.
Ahhh the ‘timeline.’ The very very infamous, and very very erroneous timeline.
February of what year Worst?
He claims he’s cared about her for a ‘very long time.’ Or is it a shit ton of time??
This man does NOT have a way with words, like AT ALL. Thought dudes like him were smooth??
Kyle instructs him to apologize to Meija. He’ll get right on that. After he watches the season.

Meija and Ciara have a sit-down that came across pretty weird and creepy, due to Ciara’s really off-putting and obsessive vibes. To be fair, Meija seemed a little odd too.
As Meija arrives, Ciara is cutting flowers and as she’s operating those scissors, she looks a little bit frightening.
She offers Meija a ‘little mimosa.’ Don’t call me weird for noticing this, but I noticed Ciara’s drink was A LOT lighter than Meija’s.
Ciara’s acting all mopey and says she “has good days and bad days.”
Girl. this was not your boyfriend. I know you were pretending that he was, but he wasn’t.
What I hate the most is how all of this adds to his ego.
Ciara has that scary obsessive look in her eye as they sit down.
Ciara ‘apologizes’ for the footage of them kissing. You can tell that she’s NOT really sorry. It’s one of those weird apologies where she just wanted to mention it.
She thinks because she forced himself on her, that means he loves her.
She seems rather pleased with herself, actually.
Everyone on the planet except Ciara, who has probably watched that ‘kiss’ 800 times, can see that Worst was not into it at all, and seemed anxious to pull away. I’m sure Meija is thinking this as well.
Meija reassures her that it’s not her fault. I mean, okay. No she legit didn’t know about Meija (nor Amanda) but most girls don’t throw themselves at guys, so there’s that. THAT is the problem.
Ciara has many questions for Meija, that are nosy questions and not really things she needs the answer to, for any reason. She wasn’t the ‘other woman’ at all.
Ciara you were ‘best friends’ remember??
I guess you could say it’s for the viewers, but at this point I think we’ve had enough of Worst Wilson and his stupid lies and antics.
“Were you staying at his place over the summer?”
“Was he recapping what was going on at the house?”
“Was he leaving out details?” (about me?)
“Have you been in contact?”
“Why haven’t you blocked him?”
The jealousy is seething out of her.
The fact that even knowing about Amanda, and she still thinks this is about her is mind-blowing to me.
They flash on unaired scenes from two years ago, summer 2024, where Worst was with Meija even that far back. Jesse was onto Worst, and was ribbing him about her, because he knew Worst didn’t want to say anything.
See how Jesse loved to do this to him? That’s why that night Ciara followed them into their room he kept making stupid jokes about him and Ciara hooking up. I could tell he was doing that to torment Worst and make him uncomfortable.
Ciara was standing there grinning from ear to ear in that scene, completely clueless that she was the brunt of the joke, as Worst played along when he was just wanting her to get the fuck out so he could sleep. That’s literally one of the top five most pathetic scenes on all of Bravo shows.
Ciara is so pissed that he talked to Meija for six hours. I feel like Meija was low-key rubbing her face in it, not unlike Ciara low-key rubbing Meija’s face in ‘the kiss.’ You can see this little alliance probably isn’t going to last long.
They’re trying to act all chummy but they’re really in an intense competition.
Ciara demands to know if they’re ‘talking or texting.’ Meija tells her they’re talking instead of texting, because of Amanda. Assuming she means so there’s no record.
Ciara saying she applauds her for not blocking him, really means “why the fuck aren’t you blocking him?? He’s MINE!!”
Clearly she’s not blocking him because she still wants him to contact her. Duh. Which Ciara knows, who I’m sure also doesn’t have him blocked.
This is hilarious.
Ciara’s SO pissed that they’re still talking. She asks if she thinks it’s weird when Worst has this “new girlfriend.” In finger quotes. But SHE definitely WAS his girlfriend, right?
She’s so fucking mad.
Seems like since Worst was still talking to her, Meija didn’t expect him to take Amanda to Italy for that wedding. Did she really think he was going alone?
Yes he does choose these girls that are challenged in the brains department.
Ciara questions as to his happiness with Amanda if he’s still calling Meija.
She starts again on her fave thing to say “your best friend’s ex…”
I don’t even know that Worst considers her an ‘ex’ because he never considered her a girlfriend. I wish someone close to her would tell her that already and tell her to stop this “MY EX!!” foolishness.
They agree that ‘secret sex’ is fun.
Ciara rolls all over the couch like she’s in heat chiming in how she thought they were on the way to ‘secretly’ hooking up. Girl. Stop.
They wrap up with Ciara claiming she’s moving on, and Meija promising to sever ties with him after, since taking Amanda to Italy was the final straw.
Yeah I don’t see it. But sure.
Ciara jokes about making all of this fun, light and airy. Okay, sure Ciara. If there is one thing you’re not, it’s fun, light and airy.
Not sure why she didn’t do a ‘Summer should be fun! Amanda NOT fun’ joke.
It was like, right there!
They agree that they’re both petty.
Ciara ‘petty’ doesn’t begin to describe your personality.
These two are going to be SCARY together if Meija is cast this season.
Poor Amanda doesn’t have a chance in that house without any back-up.
