"This season has been less about who is right or wrong in any argument and more about the tactics they use to fight each other. Just like Guerdy was totally right in her fight with Julia, especially after she threw water at her, but the tactics she used to publish Julia's texts made her behavior unseemly to the women."
"They send Stephanie a text saying they won't be flying with her, but they say that they need a break from the craziness. That's the problem with this tactic. First of all, they're lying. Second, this is so passive-aggressive that it's begging for a conflict. It's setting it up so that when Stephanie finds out that she will have to confront them, it makes her look like the bad guy when they're the ones who are misbehaving."
Season emphasis shifts from who is right to how participants fight, spotlighting tactics over facts. Guerdy's physical confrontation with Julia was justified, but publicizing Julia's texts rendered Guerdy's conduct unseemly to other women. Stephanie, Marysol, and Alexia clash over Stephanie's attempts to control interactions and leverage money as influence. Marysol and Alexia declined a plane trip without honest explanation, claiming a need for rest while fearing abandonment in Marbella. That passive-aggressive deception sets a trap, ensuring Stephanie appears to overreact and making the deceivers seem rude, meddlesome, and dishonest when confrontation forces the lie into view.
