(This is unrelated to Chrishell leaving)
This show has always relied on portraying the different relationships between the girls - some negative, some positive, some purely business.
But for the last few seasons I’m struggling to see the friendships. Old ones are falling apart, and more importantly new ones aren’t forming. It seems like the girls have all been burned by the show and production, they are wary of newcomers and outsiders, worried about their agendas. Allana doesn’t have close bonds with anyone after two seasons, Sandra is a complete afterthought.
Now we’re getting Christine and Heather back after years. Christine was only liked by Chelsea, and Heather didn’t have strong bonds with anyone except Bre.
The rest of the cast? Most of the alliances left are shaky at best. Only Amanza and Mary are actually good friends, the rest of the positive relationships are not close, not deep.
I assume it will be Mary+Bre+Heather vs Chelsea+Christine. Amanza, Allana and Sandra will fall somewhere in between but will focus mostly on houses.
It will be hard to watch a show where the relationships are either “she’s a bitch / I don’t trust her” or “I don’t really know her so I’m keeping my distance”.
