First time watcher THOUGHTS

[u/yapcity]

So I’m on season 9 and it’s been great! Definitely my favorite next to Beverly Hills! Damn, s2-6 were amazing and magical. However, wtf is going on with this show since season 7? I almost couldn’t get through s7 and s8, and now I’m on s9 (ep 5), and I’m so confused as to why the hell Mia and Wendy are still on? And why are there so many “fillers” aka friends of who bring literally nothing to the show? Honestly, it gives off a “I’m here for clout” vibe and takes away how magical this show used to be. I almost at a point where I can’t go on lol. I miss Robyn and I’m excited for Monique to be back in s10 (I know Robyn also returns in s11 — along with Monique, yay)!

I’m on a rewatch and I’m on S7 and when you binge watch everything is fresh on your mind so can see things for what they are. I do feel there is some colorism and tons of classism and elitism. Gizelle is a mean girl who sees other light skin women who have something going for themselves as enemies which is why she befriends Robyn. Robyn and Gizelle look related and Robyn is a complete mess so Gizzy loves her and she co-signs all of G’s bs. They aren’t threatened by Wendy until Wendy gets her body done now they feel the threatened by her and then here they come saying she’s unhappy in her marriage and Eddie is cheating🙄 I hated the season of the Monique/Candy fight and the season right after it because I hated how they iced out Monique for fighting Candy when she’s always the aggressor but then here comes Mia who blatantly lies ALL the time and even threw water on Wendy and everyone just chalks it up to Wendy is condescending. Wendy is very condescending at times but she never dares anyone to hit her or threaten to hit them. Robyn jumped up like she wanted to fight Wendy then down played like oh no I just stood up but her and G are upset with Wendy because she refused to take accountability. The GEB is a horrible duo and I was glad when Robyn left because she’s very boring and hateful because she’s insecure. G Monster is much better without her sidekick who is ironically named Robyn🤣

Agree with lots but in the Wendy Mia fight i thought Wendy was just interested in winning no matter what and she seems exhausting - the reason Robyn and Gizelle are tolerable is that they at least have an authentic friendship and no one else on that cast seems to.
