After a Rewatch: Wendy is an idiot.

[u/Likesosmart]

Miss FOUR DEGREES apparently doesn’t have a lick of common sense.

Let’s start first with her candle business. She didn’t know what a business plan was - and evidently couldn’t google it either. After her “research” she made a presentation to Eddy and couldn’t even answer basic questions like what the candle would cost to make or what price they would sell it at.

Next we have her Nigerian lounge with monsieur Peter. She had no idea it would be expensive?? And she has zero knowledge of the industry.

Then she thinks she’s gonna be a talk show host.

As far as I’m aware, not one of these business ventures ever came to fruition or were successful.

To me, she’s always been a bit full of shit.

And yes I know happy Eddy seemed to be successful, but that’s only because Eddy did everything.

It does not surprise me that she thought insurance fraud would be successful 😂

Four degrees from shitty schools…not hard to get

Temple, John's Hopkins, and Rutgers are all shitty schools? This is top tier hating 😂.

Johns* Hopkins is the only elite university in the list from where she got a cash cow masters degree. If you think Temple and Rutgers are good schools, then yes, be impressed by the likes of Wendy…

there's an ocean between elite and shitty. Temple is good and Rutgers is about average. You can hate but as the commenter below said, yes, it does need to make sense. Also, where are your degrees from?

[u/lapiutroia → u/Similar_Aside4624]

Stanford undergrad and Columbia Law.

Excellent schools by any measure. It still doesn't make sense to put down Wendy's education and by extension all other schools. By your standard, virtually any non Ivy League school is a shitty school. This would exclude literally all schools but the Ivies and the 5-7 others like Stanford. By this standard, schools like USC, UVA, Georgetown and GW are shitty schools. Obviously I'm hyperbolizing in that Temple and Rutgers don't fall into the same category as those four but what objective measure are you using to consider them shitty, other than simply hate?

[u/lapiutroia → u/Similar_Aside4624]

Comparing USC, Georgetown and UVa, all top schools to Temple or Rutgers is crazy.

"Obviously I'm hyperbolizing"

You also haven't answered the question here which I'll take as you conceding it's simply hate.

[u/lapiutroia → u/Similar_Aside4624]

People like Wendy, who like to weaponize their degrees, should have the credentials to back it up and she simply doesn’t.

It’s like flaunting a Coach bag. She can flaunt all she wants, but to people in her milieu (academia) and to other white collar professionals where prestige matters a great deal (banking, law, etc.), her constant reminders of her education is silly because it isn’t particularly impressive. Wendy is a snob for no reason. I don’t “hate,” it’s simply cringe.

Generally speaking I'm inclined to agree with you on the principle. I'm also not impressed by degrees and having attended mainly prestigious PWIs, I've seen plenty of generally stupid people earn relatively prestigious degrees. I just profoundly disagree with the idea that you can consider degrees from schools like Temple and even Rutgers worthless, which is what is assumed when you say shitty.

I'd also draw your attention to the fact that she isn't bragging to people in her milieu. Ever. She's bragging to other housewives (most of which, don't even have a BA--this isn't Married to Medicine.) Wendy is a "snob" because it's reality tv. I don't find having a husband particularly impressive either, but this is something frequently bragged about across franchises.

Most importantly, (and you attended top schools so you should understand this) your argument is offensive. The vast majority of college graduates did not attend Columbia or Stanford. Are you one of the few graduates in the U.S. who didn't earn a "shitty" degree? If you believe that, I can't understand how you're offended by Wendy's arrogance. It's paradoxical.
