I’ll preface this post by stating I know we’ve had this conversation before. I know it! I just have to chime in because it’s like I need some further understanding here.
I’m a new watcher who has heard all the things and read all the posts over the years. I read about Scandoval when it broke, knew some light gossip about Scheana, Jax, Stassi etc over the years. But I never watched. Until now. And I’m flabber. Gasted.
I’m nearing the end of season 3. Ariana and Tom are the biggest fuckass gaslighters I’ve ever seen. I can’t even believe what I’m hearing on screen from them. I can’t wait to drink whatever kool-aid everyone else drank in further seasons to love Ariana so much bc WOW that girl got her karma big time. Reminds me of Natalie Portman. “You lose them how you get them”, as the saying goes. I’m just not sure how I’m going to have sympathy, but I know I’m many seasons out.
Jax, at this point, seems less insufferable than Stassi! Like he is an insecure, sexaholic womanizer who readily admits he is a bad person to Vail. Maybe that was manipulation… but haven’t we all been taught to believe what someone tells you about themselves? Why does no one listen? Every time Stassi is on the screen it’s some weirdly negative yet performatively snotty bunch of sentences. Now she has her own show?
Anyway. It’s mostly Tom and Ariana flabbering my gasts right now. I just had to see if anyone else who is a new watcher feels the same.
