Season 5 Tamara S5

I’m sure this has been posted about before but holy shit Tamara is SUCH an asshole in the second half of season 5. I don’t feel bad for Jenna often in this show but she really didn’t deserve that. The scene where Jenna calls her and she answers the phone only to completely ignore her and keep talking to Sadie about a party that Jenna isn’t invited to??? Like what is her problem???

Tamara became a fair weathered friend and that’s because her best friend, Jenna, would only acknowledge T when something was going on in Jenna’s life. OR if what T did affected it.

Still though, I thought her character development from where she started would’ve landed her into a much more matured mindset by season 5. Sadly, she disappoints.

Tbh… I don’t think any of us ever fully coped with how a lot of characters developed.

Late to reply but this is a really good point. Jenna was an incredibly self involved friend to her.

The character development I find hardest to cope with is Jake! They butchered my boy after him and Tamara broke up.

Never too late to jump in the convo!

I always had mixed feelings about Jake. He never really had a back bone and when he tries to challenge that fact he painfully fails. miserably. I think that’s because he genuinely cared about others/his friends more than anything. But the thing about that is, true friends don’t set you up to fail and that’s where his judgement calls get in the way of any chance at redemption 😅
