"As someone who has been insufferably nosy since I was a child, I love gobbling up everyone's drama besides my own. I'm the person who discreetly turns off my noise-canceling headphones on the bus to try to listen in on someone's dramatic breakup call on the L train tunnel between Brooklyn and Manhattan. When the kids are getting rowdy in Chipotle, I have one eye on my burrito bowl, and the other on the chisme."
"To that end, an episode like tonight should really be my bread and butter. Over the course of the hour-long runtime, all the girls bring their lingering tensions and disagreements to the table and air everything out. The problem is, for half of these conflicts, I don't even understand why there's an issue, and for the ones I do, I find it hard to believe the women care about them."
A person has been insufferably nosy since childhood and loves consuming other people's drama, often listening to breakup calls on trains and observing rowdy public scenes. That person expected a reality-TV episode to be ideal gossip material because the cast airs lingering tensions and disagreements during an hour-long runtime. Many of the conflicts lack context and seem trivial, leaving the observer unable to judge sides. The largest conflict centers on Stacey, whose secrecy about dating Chris Samuels fuels mistrust from Ashley and Gizelle. The observer finds the dating secrecy and Stacey's refusal to be a bridesmaid to be non-issues.
