I’m loving Mikayla finding her turquoise power this season, I just want to give her a big hug! I hope her husband’s supportive because she’s been through so much. I’m curious too if with reality tv if producer shenanigans show up through aura colors? It would be interesting to see if the Chippendales dance and the NOLA trip pregnancy test game were thought up by the cast or producers— I could see it being either way with all that purple
I think Layla mentioned that the pregnany game was a producer suggestion. Super cruel on their part-- I hope the ladies push back on stuff like that in the future.
So hard to watch and also can’t stop watching LOL. The thirsty-ness makes this show go round. Taylor feels totally hot mess but she’s one who I would be friends with because I feel she would never be mean on purpose. Mikayla and Macey seems pretty grounded. Demi is ALOT. Sooo thirsty.
I’m so with you on this, I would be friends with Taylor lol! She’s def saying things to everyone’s face pretty much, just don’t trust her with a secret lol
Same. Taylor is honest and transparent, if messy. She seems to have pure intentions and a good heart, she’s just emotional and reactive. I can work with, and forgive that.
The manipulation and calculation and intentional mean girl shit from Demi, on the other hand, I can’t.
Layla is sweet, but she is so insecure and doesn’t know herself enough to be a trustworthy friend. I just want to hug her and take her to therapy and tell her she’s allowed to be who she is and to take up space. But until she gets there, being friends with her feels like it would be a little unstable, unsettling, and unfulfilling.
Mikayla and mayci are ride or dies and I would love to have a gossip dinner with them. I’m obsessed with Mikayla’s turquoise glow up. I just wouldn’t want to be the object of her ire lol.
Jessi makes me nervous. It makes sense to me she’s pursuing a friendship with Scheana from vpr. She’s got big ambitions, and I’m not sure her motives can be fully trusted. I like her much better than Demi, but she’s not telling us everything, and whatever she’s not telling us makes me feel on edge. Plus she’s capable of being really cliquey and exclusionary and mean (even if just to follow Demi’s lead).
Whitney is just lololololol. I feel like I’d be nice to her when I saw her but always feel bad that I never actually want to hang out with her when she asks. Also I don’t know how long I could go without saying YOU KNOW YOUR HUSBAND IS GAY, RIGHT?
I don’t have a clear read on miranda yet, but so far I kinda like her.
Oh and Jen… I just couldn’t. Watching someone in a bad situation who complains about constantly but refuses to change it and then brings you into her marriage drama because of her people pleasing? EXHAUSTING. I think Demi and Jessi were too hard on her, but I don’t blame them for losing patience with her.
Lol I know, right? Actually I'd love your aura take on him too, and on their dynamic. Of course, I can't know for sure that he's gay, though for some reason it seems clear that his issue wasn't just meeting people on Tinder, but that they were men...? Am I making that up? And it also just feels to me like they don't have a traditional heterosexual romantic chemistry. There's love there, and companionship, and commitment, but it feels more platonic and companionate to me, and my guess is that he has decided he doesn't want to be gay (or whatever else he is that isn't allowed that led him to Tinder - could be polyamorous, could be bi, could be kinky, could be simply not into Whitney), and so he and Whit have committed to a shared project of being in a hetero marriage together, come hell or high water. In fact, I get the feeling they might even both see it as her "helping" him, kinda conversion therapy style. And so he almost feels a debt to her, instead of being trapped by her. Like, that she knows who he really is but accepts him anyway and is helping him not be that...? (Of course, we'll see how long that lasts...)
I actually kind of like their bond. But in a Will and Grace kind of way.
Right? I mean, in general it isn’t always a great idea to speculate about someone’s sexuality. But I feel like we were given real clues? Or maybe it’s just vibes? Like, there were hints that his tinder thing wasn’t about women, right? That in fact “tinder” might’ve been code for “Grindr”?
I remember on one of your podcast episodes a while back, Scott asked you an interesting question. He asked you which aura color you would never want to be mad at you, and you replied turquoise! I was surprised since turquoise auras are so empathetic. This season I got to see it play out on my screen and find out what it's really like when a turquoise is angry at someone. Mikayla has no remorse for Whitney! It was a bit scary, but I am glad she is fully expressing myself. I wonder if she mirrored the pot-stirring producers and turned up her feistiness.
It totally did!!!! And they told her but I don’t think she knew what they meant 100% and I think that she procrastinates dealing with things in the moment bc she’s so programmed to be subservient
I totally agree with that. It seems like Jen will automatically say whatever will make the person in front of her happy and minimize conflict (part of her blue I’m guessing?), but then later will get a backbone (her purple) and almost have amnesia about how she was involved in the thing she’s now pissed about. It almost feels dissociative. Like she truly doesn’t remember being the person who appeased whoever it was in the moment, and transfers her own regret onto the people she has lied to and are then responding to her lies.
Honestly it’s kind of fascinating, if it weren’t also so annoying and self destructive.
Not going to lie… I typically love this kind of dumpster fire but I’ve been struggling to get through these episodes; like seriously can only watch like half an episode at a time…
Demi and Jessi are such mean girls and I just can’t with them… I mean when I’m taking Zac’s side on something that’s crazy 😜
Zac is not wrong in those girls not being real friends…. There is nothing wrong with couples having boundaries about what is and isn’t okay in a marriage (obviously their communication about it is the problem); some couples believe porn is cheating (and that isn’t controlling if it’s a conversation had; if one half of the couple doesn’t agree with the boundary then they probably aren’t right for each other…)… maybe this is just my therapist side talking lol but that scene infuriated me
The crab hands are the highlight of the season, and what makes a show like this so good. A woman in crab hands comforting her ex husband’s new girlfriend who is dressed like Hailey Bieber over that ex husband being a dick about the girl he fell in love with (who is dressed like Gretchen wieners on Halloween) back when you were still married and practicing soft swinging????
I really hope Zac wises up and sheds the green somehow. I know they’re in a lot of therapy outside of the show. I feel bad for Jen— really don’t like Jessi & Demi this season 😩
If we never see Miranda again, I will just thank her for the crab hand moment. The break from victim mode Whitney is nice but then on the flip, she scares me. Like a snake just waiting to strike and get what she wants. Jen, please leave the husband and the show. I have to mute or fast forward when Taylor is with her family. Like no wonder she looks for love and validation in all the wrong places 😢
Normally I STAN a fellow pink 💖 but omg it was so hard to watch Jen this season. Plus Zac with a whole new hairstyle and personality. The Chippendales dancing. No lol
I love every second of this show so much. Sometimes so uncomfortable but heck, my life is pretty low key and it does bring me joy watching all the relationship ins and outs. I have. Huge soft spot for Taylor and Mayci is my absolute favorite!
All of it makes total Aura sense! I’m curious what you’ll say about Layla and her 💙💛 aura. I was SO disappointed she didn’t stick up for Taylor. It seems she leads with her blue to “fit in”
It’s a terrible show and I love watching it!!! 😂😍
Hahahha well put
It is so bad 🥴

Producers are the real pot stirrers! And the editors lol

Yuck!

Omg the husband. The husband. 😳😳😳😳 and everything else you said too!
Lol I know, right? Actually I'd love your aura take on him too, and on their dynamic.

I actually kind of like their bond. But in a Will and Grace kind of way.
Omg he’s definitely gay.
Right? I mean, in general it isn’t always a great idea to speculate about someone’s sexuality. But I feel like we were given real clues? Or maybe it’s just vibes? Like, there were hints that his tinder thing wasn’t about women, right? That in fact “tinder” might’ve been code for “Grindr”?
Yes. I definitely felt that there was much more behind the “tinder”.
💯 all of this lol

Oh yes I forgot I said that but I stand behind it 💧😈
Jessis whole chip and dale “prank” was giving 💛💜 mean girl vibes. Trying to stir the pot / test to see how much he’s actually “changed”
It totally did!!!! And they told her but I don’t think she knew what they meant 100% and I think that she procrastinates dealing with things in the moment bc she’s so programmed to be subservient

I binged this season and I don’t think I’m mentally okay 😅
Hugs lol
😂

I have seen too much 😫
I haven’t watched the show but I love crab hands🤣🤣🤣 those could be for any occasion really.
The commitment to the crab hands won my heart
The crab hands are the highlight of the season, and what makes a show like this so good. A woman in crab hands comforting her ex husband’s new girlfriend who is dressed like Hailey Bieber over that ex husband being a dick about the girl he fell in love with (who is dressed like Gretchen wieners on Halloween) back when you were still married and practicing soft swinging????
INJECT IT INTO MY VEINSSSS
😭😭😭art
I really hope Zac wises up and sheds the green somehow. I know they’re in a lot of therapy outside of the show. I feel bad for Jen— really don’t like Jessi & Demi this season 😩
I feel terrible for Jen especially getting into the later episodes. Bottom line, I don’t think TV is for her
If we never see Miranda again, I will just thank her for the crab hand moment. The break from victim mode Whitney is nice but then on the flip, she scares me. Like a snake just waiting to strike and get what she wants. Jen, please leave the husband and the show. I have to mute or fast forward when Taylor is with her family. Like no wonder she looks for love and validation in all the wrong places 😢
Your fear of “not victim blue” Whitney made me scared too now 😂
Normally I STAN a fellow pink 💖 but omg it was so hard to watch Jen this season. Plus Zac with a whole new hairstyle and personality. The Chippendales dancing. No lol
I cannot imagine my friends husbands dancing on me. What a weird thing to ask someone to do 😂😂😂
Haha she got the Temu version of a chippendales dance! So awk!
😂
😂😂😂
I just started season one yesterday because of all the chatter with MMSF. Have deep regrets already, but will forge on with the dumpster fire. 😆🌀💚
We forge on together
Come what may. 🤣
I love this commentary. You hit the nail on the head with every point! And we need to have a soda party!
The soda looks so good
I love hearing your internal monologues on these!!🤣🌈 So relatable!
Xoxo
I love every second of this show so much. Sometimes so uncomfortable but heck, my life is pretty low key and it does bring me joy watching all the relationship ins and outs. I have. Huge soft spot for Taylor and Mayci is my absolute favorite!
I do love Mayci too!
All of it makes total Aura sense! I’m curious what you’ll say about Layla and her 💙💛 aura. I was SO disappointed she didn’t stick up for Taylor. It seems she leads with her blue to “fit in”
I was also SO proud of Mikayla this season 🩵 🫶🏽
Yes! She gets the whole "last person I talked to" opinion going on
