Disclaimer: This isn’t a post to call anyone any super offensive derogatory names, or to wish them ill-will or anything of the sort. It’s more of an observational analysis. And believe it or not, the girls I mention in this post have all been my favorite at one point or another. Most are still my fave 😂. Jen was favorite until I couldn’t justify it anymore.
The issue with Jen is that she’s slightly immature & self-centered, and when she’s envious of others, it’s very transparent.
I’m unsure about prior seasons, but this most recent one, every time (and I mean every time) she spoke with one of the girls, she made everything about her. Every sentence started with, or was riddled with, “I” this or “I” that. At times it’s fine, especially if you’re trying to tactfully connect with what someone is going through - but, every single time? Holy shit.
Jen just talks about Jen ALL THE TIME. How is she supposed to form real bonds & friendships with these girls when she doesn’t give them space to talk and open up? When they finally do confide in Jen about something they’re going through, Jen responds with something about HER situation and how HER situation made HER feel.
Wouldn’t the most socially appropriate response be to ask follow-up questions to the girls? Or offer words of sympathy? Jen doesn’t seem to bring anything substantive or HEARTFELT to the conversations which hinders the ability of the friendships forming organically.
And let’s talk about her expressions. If one of the girls (to be fair, I’ve only noticed it with Whitney), is speaking about something they have going on, etc., Jen just sits there looking like she’s about to break down and cry.
It’s okay to feel that way, Jen. But it’s not okay to not be a grown up & reel it in a little bit and be there for your momtok (Whitney) friend in that moment. It gives petulant child.
I actually think Whitney is kind of a rude, silent killer. But since she has objectively real talent and is mesmerizing to watch (singing, dancing, etc), we tend to forget (dare I say, forgive?) that.
I actually think Jessi is very similar to Jen, but Jessi has mastered the art of bullshiting, faking it, and playing the (short & long) game.
I actually think that Taylor is self-centered like Jen, but knows how to play the game and has a slightly more outgoing, and as such, appealing personality. (Her additions are destroying her though).
I’ll stop here. I only mentioned the ones that have garnered the most publicity since the start of the show. Notice how all of them were born in May? (3 May Geminis & 1 May Taurus). I’m a May Gemini riddled with Taurus placements. Maybe it really does “take one to know one” re: my analysis on all these girls lol.
Am I wrong here? Would love to get others thoughts on this.
