Amanda and Kyle are up.
It’s a little sad listening to them.
I know a couple doesn’t have to be exactly alike to get along, and opposites attract and you have to balance each other out, and whatever they say.
I think all men are a waste of space, and lying cheating pieces of shit, so I’m not really a good authority on all of that.
AnyWAY, Kyle and Amanda are just SO opposite. On the opposite end of what they want and what they think is important, and I don’t know how they have been together as long as they have. I think it boils down to they’re both really tolerant.
We did see from them what we haven’t in a few years: Them getting along. (I think like 2 -3 years ago they seemed to be okay)
They got in NOT ONE argument. Even the night Kyle got into in with Paige about Craig.
Could that have been due to Amanda being medicated? Maybe. I also noticed they didn’t discuss her participation or not participation in Loverboy at all.
Maybe he released her of her duties, and that’s why she was in a much better mood. We all know she doesn’t like to work. They never even really addressed it. I should have submitted that as a question, because I was wondering.
Then of course there’s the swim collab she did with South Moon Under, which wasn’t really her ‘designing’ swim wear, but at least she got to do something that interests her while making a few bucks.
She needed to fake design special bathing suit tops because there’s never been large bikini tops ever made before.
She makes a face when Andy refers to her as a swim suit designer. That whole intro actually made no sense. Whoever wrote that must’ve been drunk.
Apparently there was an unaired convo in June shortly before filming where they discussed the possibility of separating.
Sounds like it was over his going out constantly and coming home inebriated at 4am. I mean really Kyle, for reals, why can’t he let this go?
I think his explanation is accurate. He needs it for an outlet (Because Amanda is boring, and never wants to do anything.)
Even their work ethics are not just different, but the extreme opposite.
With these two, you have a workaholic with a partner that hates to work, hates it. Would rather lie on the couch netflixing all day, every day. Like how can that ‘work?’ No pun intended.
Kyle is really struggling it seems, to make Loverboy the success he wants it to be. No beer or beverage companies have come forward wanting to buy it, most likely because it’s not profitable. Kyle said last season it was losing money.
Does it suck? I’ve never had it, but not a really a fan of these anyway. It’s a cute name, cute packaging, so many flavors, so what’s the problem?
Not sure why they don’t do commercials and air them during Bravo shows?
Has no one thought of that? I’ve never seen any advertising ever, other than on Summer House.
Maybe a lot of people don’t buy it because they hate Kyle. Why don’t they try to reach potential customers that don’t watch Summer House, so therefore never heard of it, and also therefore don’t know how douchey Kyle Cook can be.
Why do I have to know everything? I thought Amanda’s dad was some big business guy? Why doesn’t he help him?
I’m not far from New York, and I have never seen it in my area. Just saying.
Amanda complains about his working constantly, and his weekend DJ-ing is making it impossible for them to connect or spend time together.
She can’t wait to sell it, she says. Kyle doesn’t seem happy about that.
She made a comment last season that she didn’t think she’d be having to work for Loverboy this long. She thought when you started a business, you sold it and became a millionaire and never worked again.
She didn’t say that exactly, but seemed miffed Loverboy was not sold, forcing her to have to spend her days ‘working.’ I mean, can you imagine? Spending your days working? Poor Amanda.
She’s such a spoiled brat. They kind of both are. Is he an only child too? I never hear him mentioning siblings.
Andy assumes he’s working so hard at it, to sell it. He seems annoyed at this discussion of selling his baby. Maybe because he’s embarrassed no one wants it?
Or he’s wondering if he sold it what would he do all day? He’d have to spend the day with Amanda.
Baby talk. Honestly if neither one of them are really feeling it, then why have one just to have one? Amanda was all about it, but I think she’s realizing with her mental health issues, maybe better to stick to fur babies?
I’m not saying she wouldn’t be a good mom, but she’s lazy. Sometimes I think she uses this depression thing as an excuse. I hate to say that. I don’t claim to be any type of expert in the field but I do know someone that has a minor physical ailment but she’s also lazy and uses this ‘sickness’ as an excuse.
I wonder if Kyle did release her from Loverboy beccause I kind of thought that’s why she was pushing so hard for a baby, so she wouldn’t have to work.
Amanda says Kyle’s not ready for a child. He’s 42. Dude if you’re not ready now you’re not going to be. So we’re back to Kyle ‘not being ready.’
In an episode she told him she didn’t feel ready because she can barely take care of herself. That’s just what your husband wants to hear.
“I’m ready to have kids with someone who’s ready to have kids with ME.”
What does that even mean? Is she deflecting?
Is she realizing he’s maybe apprehensive because of her mental health and depression issues?
Flash of Kyle meeting Gemma backstage. He kind of looks like he’s never seen a baby before. It was cute though.
Carl was asked if he thinks Kyle is ready to be a dad. Amanda chimes in “he’s great with the dogs.”
These two are so clueless. Did she seriously compare a baby to a dog?
Andy asks Amanda about her mental health and if she’s concerned what impact pregnancy would have on that. She is concerned, and so is he.
I can foresee her popping out a baby and not wanting to get out of bed for months. I’m sorry, but I think she’d be overwhelmed.
Kyle seems so defeated. I feel like he thinks, should this really be that complicated?
I don’t get why he gets so much grief for being a hard worker.
It’s kind of ridiculous. I get her annoyance at the DJ thing, but I also feel like he gets the impression she doesn’t want him around.
Amanda is a lot. But also Kyle is needy.
I don’t know about taking anti-depressants while pregnant as she assures us is fine. That’s scary.
They’re funny how they don’t think they can have a baby while Kyle is working hard. That’s kind of how that ‘works.’ You have to continue to ‘work’ when you have children because they need to you know, eat and wear clothing and have a place to live.
The infamous Kyle and Craig spat is on deck, and you know Paige can’t wait to throw him under the bus.
I just want to point out how you don’t see him bashing her, and we saw in front of our eyes she was no fucking picnic. She was constantly acting aloof and putting him down and ridiculing him. He’s the dumb ass that put up with it, but still. It’s a valid point he would have.
We girls would have lost our minds if a guy was talking to his girlfriend the way she spoke to him. And I know he HAS to feel she lied and lead him on. But is he saying that publicly? No he is not. But maybe he will now. I encourage him to do so. He’s probably taking the high road. I’m bad at that.
I like for people to know what disgusting piles of useless steaming dog shit they truly are.
Makes sense their house is the color of shit.
Back to this. The spritz spat? To me, so stupid, as most of Bravo arguments are, but this one really took the cake.
I don’t really get why Craig had to sort of ask Kyle’s permission to take on a stupid spritz endorsement. Or partnership, whatever he did. Who cares.
Why didn’t Kyle think to ask him to endorse Loverboy? Maybe it would have helped him. Just look what it did for Paige DeSorbo.
I don’t get why we have to bring up Craig getting kicked out of Kyle and Amanda’s wedding in 2021. Didn’t we all know this? And Paige never really said it never happened? She was pissed that Danielle blabbed about it. We knew it happened.
It was par for the course of how he was acting at that time. I remember reading he didn’t want to use the porta potties and was bitching he wanted to go into the house and threw a hissy. We know Craig is a prima donna and it makes perfect sense.
Next? Drunk at a wedding reception? Oh my God, never heard of such a thing. There’s always one at a wedding that’s drunk.
And do we not expect this shit from our Bravolebs?
I am disappointed he refused to apologize to Amanda and her parents though. Not ‘Team Craig’ on that.
Just don’t think it’s necessary for Paige to be throwing him under the bus like this. She divulges additional embarrassing deets such as yelling and kicking tables. Where the hell were the Bravo cameras? Or even someone with a phone. It sounded epic.
And I guess where Paige loses me by being so cunty about it, is that shortly after this he did recognize he had a problem and made changes.
She’s all on her high horse to say the least, however she used and slept with a guy for a full two years (I believe she was into him the first year) because she saw he was boosting her popularity, which in the end made her a lot more money.
So she’s a user, a liar and a whore.
And Craig was drunk at a wedding.
Enough said.
Kind of like a man-whore that I know that uses this ugly broad he pretends to love for the house she has, and a certain lifestyle she affords him.
Also treated her chubby weirdo child better than he treated his own children. But just keep doing what you’re doing. Stay in denial. It’s where narcissists live.
Back to this. Paige this is old news. It was four fucking years ago and no one even cares. It’s not like the wedding was ruined. This sounds like it was towards the end of the reception. I’m not excusing him, he shouldn’t have gotten sloppy blacked out drunk at his girlfriend’s fake friend’s wedding. I can’t imagine any viewers watching this were gasping and clutching their pearls.
She doubles down on how she had to lie and defend his drunken behavior, not really acknowledging that he did stop drinking heavily like that for the past two plus years, and was not getting intoxicated and embarrassing.
Andy could have pointed that out.
She breaks down the break-up timeline, and who cares. It honestly does seem to align with what Craig said. He was a little dramatic about her mailing his stuff to him.
I didn’t even want to get into this, but I have to. Why was it Craig’s job, after being used for two years, lied to, then abruptly dumped, to ‘defend her?’
She was talking to that dude. The only reason she’s not still with him is he wasn’t putting up with her dumb snarky ‘sarcastic’ ass. Or maybe she is still with him.
“You’re dead to me.”
“I’ll never speak his name again.”
Why is she trying to sound like some kind of fucking thug? She’s reminding me of BlaBla on VPR. Not a compliment.
That crying in bed scene with Ciara was fucking bullshit. I had a shot of her in my recap peeking through her hands making sure the guys were getting it.
I think the only reason she may have been upset is that she felt guilty for using him and lying to him when she knew she wasn’t marrying him nor moving to Charleston. She knew time was up and she had to dump him.
She thought he stupid ‘breadwinner’ excuse was so clever. Nice try.
She knew she was going to have dumped him by the time the season aired, or she wouldn’t have said all of that. Please.
She’s lying.
So we’re wrapping up. Andy addresses Lindsay and her return this summer.
She says “I’ll be out there. I don’t know if I’ll be living at the house every weekend…”
She continues to ramble dropping hints she’s down. Baby or not.
She’s clearly waiting for her marching orders. She’d be more than happy to dump the baby with baby Daddy or a nanny so she can get her weekend party on. The question is, does Bravo think that’s appropriate?
Some breast milk jokes for the final toast.
Carl has since announced his leaving the show. As well as Paige and Lexi. Some are saying Lexi’s exit was not a choice. I wonder if Carl’s wasn’t either.
I would think they have their cast in place for this summer, as they start filming July 4th.
I’m sure we’re still stuck with Bert and Ernie again.
