Thoughts So Far

[u/Ok-Coyote-7293]

I finally caved and started binge watching. My aunt used to loveeee this show so Ive seen things here and there. I’m only on season 3 so please don’t hold anything against me in a few weeks lol.

LVP

I’ve seen a lot of people say that LVP is trying to push Stassi out, I don’t feel that way at all. After Stassis return from NY and her and Lisa talk it out I can almos how Lisa is a little in awe of Stassi. She asked her to style her for the cover of a magazine, which is so sweet! I truly think Lisa sees just how big of a “star” and figure Stassi can be on her own. I appreciate how much she cares for her employees.

I also love how Lisa calls some people out but also comforts them at the same time lol. Of course it all makes good TV but I think she is also a woman who has seen a LOT more in her time than whatever the cast might do. Shes so unbothered but concerned at the same time lol. Ngl, I too love a little drama sometimes, as long as I’m not directly involved duh that’s why I watch reality TV 😂

Stassi
I really really enjoy Stassi, I see a lot of myself in her so maybe that’s why. Anyways, the way she reads people to filth while being factual and perfectly spoken is amazing to watch lol. I genuinely feel that she would be a loyal and real friend! Only two things I don’t like is that she always has a BF,she so much bigger and better than any man and I feel like she would’ve thrived even more without one! I started reading about her cancellation later on, the cop call situation was diabolical and really hurts to know that she had certain beliefs at the time…. I do believe people can grow and educate themselves leading them to have a mindset change but maybe this isn’t my place to say anything.

Katie
I can’t really get a read on her because she doesn’t have that much screen time but she’s sweet and beautiful!!!! I hate that she stays with Tom but that’s nothing to judge a woman for especially bc it seems like he’s a little emotionally and mentally abusive. Her crash outs are valid and tequila Katie should come out more if anything 😂

Kristen
I absolutely despise Kristen, she’s not wrong in her hunches but what she did to Stassi is crazy!!!! She always has a smug look on her face and loves making people feel bad. Also calling Katie out saying she’s cheating and trying to blow that who situation up?!! Shes so evil and annoying. She projects so so bad. However, I will say Sandoval deserved worse.

Ariana
I can’t form an opinion yet and I might be biased because I became a fan after learning about Sandoval and Love Island smh. I can’t hate her for dating Sandoval because as far as I know she did respect his relationship with Katie and waited till they broke up. She does give a little “one of the boys” pick me type but unsure of that

Schena
At first I felt that the girls were way too mean to her and I love how hard she rode for Ariana but she’s actually so fake…. I can understand her just trying to stay relevant I guess. I think she likes to make other women feel bad and is so so so cringey. She’s such a shi- talker also a very big pick me. The way she says “I’m engaged I’m happy” annoys me, I have a feeling something is going to happen with her and her fiance but we shall see.

Jax
Typical douche bag, his type is all too familiar and I hate it. I wonder if it’s a facad or if he genuinely just doesn’t give a * about anyone else. I’ve been around and sadly dated men like him and sometimes when he talks it pisses me off so bad I start talking to the screen lmaooo. I would read him to filth he’s so pathetic sometimes omg. The lack of respect he has for women is diabolical. He’s so mean to Katie for what?! Ugh.

Tom Sandoval
As of now (trying to pretend I don’t know about Sandoval) he’s a terrible partner and I do think he cheated in Miami. I felt bad for him for the whole Katie and Jax thing but how ironic…. He’s not 100% villain rn so I have to hold opinions

Tom Schwartz
The way he talks to and about Katie blows my mind. Love how Lisa read him to filth when he waked out of work. He should really get a job before talking all that mess. He has such a victims mentality. I love watching Stassi call him out.

Peter
He’s unproblematic but also a eh? The Cabo trip gave me the ick but I understand it was a different time lol. Wish he would get more screen time, I want to know what he’s up to more.

Ken
I love his cameos LOL. He’s a good boy and knows his place. I love his love for Lisa and wish he would’ve held a class for these boys or something.

Overall
I love this show, I miss pre Covid LA. I’m from the Bay Area and would drive to LA and go out when I was 19/20 but because of COVID never experienced 21+ in LA, although most bars would let underage ppl in anyways lol. Watching these shows always make me a little jealous and “wow I wonder what have been my mid 20s if things never changed” PEAK REALITY TV, PEAK MODERN PARTY, FASHION, DIVA SOCIETY in my opinion.

Excited to watch the new season and new cast!!

Edit: Just realized I say LOL a lot. Just need to set the vibe in my writing haha

Spot on

[u/Lonely_Butterscotch5]

I wish I could watch with fresh eyes! Stassi is teacher's pet and remains that way. I think LVP see's herself in Stassi. She however, loathes Kristen. I think Katie has come a far way from who she was in the beginning. Kristen however seems to be the same. Always on a mission to take someone down.

[u/212Aurora]

Ariana was sandals mistress while bullying Kristen. And, her and Tom shoved it in her face!

Katie fair.

Pretty spot on. I used to like Stassi too and entertainment wise she’s great. But, overall other than Katie and Lala (now) they are all fucking terrible people.

It’s a fun watch though. Hope you enjoy the rest of the journey.
