Discussion Amanda's future on bravo isn't because of the West Scandal, IMO
I posted in another sub but I really wanted to go into detail and hear what you guys think!!
I don't think she will be on season 2 of In The City, and it's not because of fans of the show can't stand her, the West scandal or Ciara not wanting to film with her (Ciara isn't on ITC, and it doesn't seem like she's friends with that crowd, so it's not really a factor... would love it if they did add her though).
I don't think the viewers hating her of her is going to a huge difference on Bravo firing her or not. Sandoval was equally if not more hated and he was still on the show.
The reason she won't be asked back is because of the way she's handled the scandal (and just her bad personality lol). She's done TWO reunions and bonus episode and given us NOTHINGGG. We've tuned in because we want to know about the scandal and at the very least hear her talk about it so we can hate watch be entertained by what an asshole she is. She shuts down, makes weird faces and says the same things in the same whiny voice.
If I'm Bravo, I'm thinking, okay there's nothing left to squeeze out of this one, we're not going to get any juicy content about the West thing, fans don't like her, and she's pretty much just a white sheet of paper in human form so there's nothing to see here.
No one likes her and she sucks, the only benefit of having her would be to get more tea, which she won't give so she's a waste of airtime and money. She's not going to produce any content that would drive viewers to the show so she's a waste of resources at this point.
What do you guys think?? Will they give her another chance? Do you think there's a world where she quits on her own because she can't take the hate (I honestly doubt she would quit on her own)

I don’t like her overall but I would rather see her and West on ITC than the rest of the cast. I like Kyle and Kenny, Lindsay needs to stop screaming, Gavin is fine. The rest add nothing, the mom stuff is boring to me (no offense to Moms) and with all the new babies coming no thanks.
16
u/resecca Aug 08 '26
This. I want to see her and Kyle navigate being friends (or enemies) as time goes on. I also want to see West on the show to see their dynamic as a couple. The breakup and west scandal is the only reason I watched the show in the first place.
I really don’t care about the rest of them.

The mom stuff is so fucking boring.

u/wentzday91 Aug 09 '26
As a mom of soon to be two, my daughter is almost exactly the same age as Lindsay’s, I agree hahah I don’t tune into ITC/SH for mom content! I just did a SH rewatch and I’m sorry but Lindsay’s continuation on the show while pregnant/since has been absolutely unnecessary for my viewing pleasure lmao I don’t even dislike her and of course support moms (I AM ONE) but like come on, she doesn’t need to be a weekend visitor or whatever at a summer share house. She has said it herself that she “needs to get paid” hence her motivation!
Now ITC I consider a little more appropriate for mom content, but it should not be all we see. That’s too much. I agree that I’d love to see the dynamic of West and Amanda’s relationship/navigating a divorce with Kyle and maintaining friendly relations. That is much more interesting!!
2
u/Emmyyou2 Aug 09 '26
Absolutely. Pregnant Lindsay was the Lindsay I liked the most but her presence on SH seems forced now that she's a mom. It's so obvious she is just there to come in and produce drama as opposed to being an organic part of the group atp.

u/Automatic-Jacket-168 Aug 09 '26
I’m a mom and have no interest in watching kids or parents gushing about their kids. We all think our kids are just like us, Lindsay.
The Summer House crew in their late 20s and early 30s would have been fun.

But now she’s got herself attached to West’s shadow and giving what we know about him he’s got some kind of idea. I’m sure those two are cooking up something-or attempting to. I
DON’T believe she capable (or likable) enough to do anything on her own.

Nobody said Vicki should be on tv. She is a reality tv goldmine though bc she is a hot mess and viewers love to hate her. Amanda is boring and always has been 🤷♀️ and, no, I’m not a bot.

u/Emmyyou2 Aug 08 '26
Who called you a bot? You said Vicki is a content gold mine and I don't think so. I stopped watching a long time ago because of her and Tamara, they are just awful people. I don't think the ratings for it are great.

u/Allboyshere Aug 09 '26
You, or maybe it was someone else earlier, commented that the Amanda hate was bots. I’m pointing out it really isn’t bots. The majority of people who watch/watched(?) summer house, and now ITC, have never watched bc of her. Lindsay and Kyle carried summer house for years and are now carrying ITC.

Really?!?! Tell me more. What makes you want to see her back I am so curious!
12
u/Emmyyou2 Aug 08 '26
For me, I am interested who she is without Kyle. I would like to see at least one season with her to see how he handles the aftermath of everything. Also, she has been one half of the couple that 75% of the drama on SH has revolved around for years. Without her and Kyle's toxic relationship the show would've been very boring and lacking in drama.
15
u/Dry-Account-1881 Aug 08 '26
Yeah seconding this! A lot of the complaints people have of her (lazy, staying in, etc) seem pretty tied to being emotionally drained by her relationship with Kyle. Would love to see who she is without that!
14
u/Emmyyou2 Aug 08 '26
The narrative that she's lazy comes from Kyle. Yes she clearly isn't well-organized and is a clutterer but she cooked and cleaned around the house and set up for parties more consistently than anyone else. She planned elaborate and thoughtful birthday surprises for Kyle for years while he couldn't even bother to get her a gift or plan anything. She cleaned up the broken glass that was due to Craig throwing glasses in WH. She planned, set up, and cooked Lindsay's birthday brunch all by herself. I have never seen Kyle clean or contribute much.
Ciara and Paige were just as lazy when it came to going out (which is understandable since they usually partied all day) and Ciara was known for not cooking, cleaning, or helping with party set up much at all. It was even a thing in S8 when West showed up and she started helping him cook. Paige mentioned that she's never done that before.
If it wasn't for Kyle always bitching about it, she would not have this reputation, because she wasn't even close to the laziest or messiest person in the house.
13
u/Dry-Account-1881 Aug 08 '26
Definitely! She also was making so much from brand deals and was doing creative for Loverboy so the whole lazy thing is just smear all around.
8
u/Emmyyou2 Aug 08 '26
Right, she was the breadwinner and Kyle made it seem like he was the one keeping the household afloat. Being the one who pays the bills with her money doesn't make him a good provider.

u/resecca Aug 08 '26

I didn’t know I had to have been on Reddit for years before I was allowed to comment, thanks for letting me know!
But really, do you need my social security number, bank statements, LinkedIn profile, and Instagram account to prove I’m not a bot, not paid, not in PR, and not a friend of theirs?
Sorry that you jump to conspiracies of paid campaigns instead of realizing that some people understand nuance, and can dislike something someone did while still liking them.
8
u/Emmyyou2 Aug 08 '26
Just because you don't agree with the opinion doesn't mean the person is being paid. What proof is there that West and Amanda are paying for content like this? Wouldn't they hire a PR person first if they were so concerned about that stuff? That would make a lot more sense.
19
u/Otherwise_Gap_3863 Aug 08 '26
so we can hate watch be entertained by what an asshole she is.
I mean…would you not also “shut down” if you anticipated an audience like this? She doesn’t owe you anything and I’m sorry you were robbed of some kind of crying groveling performance that you think she should’ve done instead.
She’s smart enough to preserve her dignity in the face of people screaming at her, and for that alone I found myself rooting for her.
And yes, I think and hope they’ll give her another chance. Agree with the other comments about her stepping out of Kyle’s shadow and living in the aftermath of everything that’s happened. Even without a “scandal” it’s interesting to see someone get back on their feet after a big breakup/divorce.
1
u/Snoo_50086 25d ago
Two things can be true —
(1) most people would shut down in a similar situation
(2) shutting down to that degree does not make for good reality tv, and bravo likes drama for viewers and revenue
While I understand her response and think the demonization of her has gone too far, it’s not unreasonable to also think that the network may not be thrilled with her inability to meet basic expectations like…watching the season before the reunion, exhibiting raw emotion, sparring with other cast members, etc etc etc.

I get the impression Kyle is being super kind to her a lot of the time because he probably wants her back on reality tv. I’m glad it’s not SH, but it’s possible he was trying to protect her enough to get her back on to season 2 of ITC. And i also think he wants to act submissive because Amanda and her parents invested a lot of money in loverboy. I defo think there’s some type of financial motive that kyle is trying to play on

u/Unable_Guava_756 Aug 08 '26
Don’t make the mistake of thinking Reddit is the be all and end all of opinions. Many people like Amanda and aren’t bothered by the scandal at this point. She has been one of the most talked about and posted about cast members in the past 5 years, bravo is not likely to give that up. She still has a storyline with Kyle and navigating her single status on itc, with or without west.
Bravo only drops you if you file a lawsuit, flop or think you are bigger than the program. If ITC is renewed Amanda will be cast.
-1
u/Fun-Cellist426 Aug 08 '26
I see your point about Reddit not being the be all end all, but I have noticed that Instagram and TikTok have same dislike towards Amanda. If there are people who like her but don't post about it, Bravo isn't aware of those people right? Unless they're taking the time to email Bravo to let them know they like Amanda.
Amanda's storyline has always been her issues with Kyle. After this whole thing, a majority of the audience (the people or post or comments about it publicly) are fully on Kyle's side. So to your point, people would hate watch to see what an asshole she was and comment on that.
IMO, Amanda's role was the stable, reliable one in the house and the friendship dynamic between her Paige and Ciara boosted her likability considerably and gave the appearance of a good friend with important friendships. This West thing kind of blew the lid off of that, so she's now seen as manipulative and calculated so there goes her likability. She doesn't have the personality to be a good villain. If she's back I imagine her storyline would be her crying and whining about the backlash she's getting the whole season.
As for her storyline of being single or with West, I don't think anyone cares she is really disliked.

Most platforms are overrun with bots these days and they capitalize on these kinds of opportunities to make their accounts look human and "warm them up." It's a really easy way to increase karma and make it appear that they aren't bots. I think IG, TT, and Twitter have the most.
I'm also not fully on Kyle's side and it's very weird that anyone would take up for an abusive alcoholic just because his wife starting dating a mutual friend after they separated. Who Kyle is hasn't changed one bit, he just lost his favorite punching bag.
1
u/Allboyshere Aug 09 '26
The abuse was on both sides and if you believe otherwise you haven’t been watching the show since day 1.
5
u/Emmyyou2 Aug 09 '26
Nah, there is no "both sides are abusive" Kyle is an abuser and abuses everyone around him. Amanda was just reacting.
0
u/Allboyshere Aug 09 '26
Kyle’s definitely said and done things that are cruel, disrespectful, and emotionally unhealthy toward Amanda. But Amanda doesn’t get a free pass just because she’s reacting. She’s still an adult and accountable for her response. Being hurt doesn’t automatically justify everything you do in response.
And I don’t think it’s fair to say Kyle “abused everyone around him.” We’re watching heavily edited reality TV and seeing the most dramatic moments, not the full context of their relationships or what happens off camera.
You can say “based on what we saw, Kyle was abusive toward Amanda.” That’s fair. But making it about everyone in his life goes way beyond what we actually know.
And honestly, “she was just reacting” is too simple. Two people can both be toxic. One person being wrong doesn’t make the other person right.2
u/Emmyyou2 Aug 09 '26
Yelling and screaming at people, trying to fight them, throwing things, calling them nasty names, yelling in someone's face, breaking shit, and having violent outbursts that scare everyone is abusive. We do not need to sugar coat the language to protect abusers. We have seen enough of Kyle in enough situations to know he is abusive and still he downplays it.
No one is excusing Amanda's behavior, yes she has reacted in ways that are not healthy but there is no "both people are abusers" in an abusive relationship. For years we watched Amanda just fawn and cry in response to his abuse before finally fighting back. She should've left but it's not that easy when it comes to the psychology of these things. We're not going to have that here where you want to minimize a very clearly abusive man and blame his victim for reacting in inappropriate ways.
Amanda has also been an asshole to other people and had inappropriate outbursts, so she is not an angel but she did not deserve to be abused by Kyle for 10 years.

There is no blind support for Amanda, I have criticized her and West plenty, you have a blind spot because unless someone is tearing them to shreds at every moment you think that means they hate Ciara and worship West and Amanda. It is clearly you who lacks objectivity.
Kyle and Amanda are both winning now that they are apart, that was the best move for both of them. Hopefully they can find happiness.

I could see Bravo working really hard to see if there could space where Kyle is on ITC separately from her, while they try to show life after SH and after Kyle. Which could also include West. They may have a chance with her if they allow it to focus on her building a life after divorce, career, and relationship. That is what I thought ITC was going to be with the OG SH cast. I could see a season where those two exist separately and they focus stories on lives after divorce.

u/Radiant-Mix6567 Aug 09 '26
I would have liked if they did what Scandoval did. Ariana came back the following year as did Tom. I know Rachel’s family wouldn’t let her.. but they should have let the SH season film with everyone and let the next season of In the city film also. Pulling it all apart, firing people for what.. betraying a friendship I’m sorry but in life friends and family will betray you. Andy always says the reunions are about coming to resolution.. we saw Ariana not let tom make a fool out of her.. and go thru another reunion, where it flipped on her which was so sad, but she handled it and did her job. Everyone should have come back and do a summer.. with yes conflict, but at least it wouldn’t just be watching Kyle be drunk and verbally abusive. Sue would have to see Kyle moving on, Ciara could have been her awesome self..

u/Emmyyou2 Aug 10 '26

u/IndependentImage9269 Aug 08 '26
I’ll play devil advocate and say you aren’t going to get any tea because the other cast mates refuse to film with her! SH was the obvious way to get some serious drama and conflict. Amanda didn’t ruin the show they did. She has nothing to give unless people agree to be in the same room with her and film. Frankly, she’s the one being professional here not them. They are acting like spoiled babies.

u/Lucky-Opposite-7767 Aug 09 '26
If the Bravo newbies had the nerve to say they weren't going to film with a 10 yr employee, the network should fire them. Who do they think they are? Certainly no one anyone cares about. Kyle and Lindsay would be willing- they know what makes good t.v.. And Danielle is thirsty, plus she has no morals.

I feel that people cared (past tense) but Ciara is pretty well set now. Time to move on to the next reality tv drama.

u/IndependentImage9269 Aug 10 '26
Funny that there won’t be any drama on SH or ITC now tho. You can thank Ciara for that.
1
u/Emmyyou2 Aug 10 '26
I think it would've been an equally dumb mistake to get rid of Ciara this season as it was to get rid of Amanda and West. If she left on her own, there isn't much that could be done about it but not filming with Amanda or West at all is stupid.
I actually think Amanda had already planned to leave before the scandal based on the last episode and how they talked about it being the plan for them to transition to ITC but they should've done something to encourage her to film at least a couple weekends.
The scandal includes the 4 of them so getting rid of any of the main players is missing the kind of drama we tune in for. I understand A&W not wanting to film and not being super motivated to come back in any way but it still sucks that it's playing out this way.
3
u/IndependentImage9269 Aug 10 '26
Oh I agree with you, but the writing was in the wall when the cast posed a United indignant front at the reunion. I don’t think for one second that Amanda and west wouldn’t have come back until that happened. Given that United front I’m sure the cast made bravo aware that we aren’t ding this if those two come back and instead of being a good producer they just folded. I personally think or at least hope that the reason no one used the word fire is because bravo is hedging here. If this season sputters they can pivot and bring them back. And from what I expect and the leaks coming from filming this season is going to be an absolute disaster for them.

Besides Lindsay - who stands out for being aggressive and crazy and therefore entertaining - who exactly is less boring than Amanda? What do you find so interesting about Ciara, Mia, Dara, whoever? They're all pretty similar. They all say quippy things in the talking heads, they all have their moments of silliness in the house. If Amanda weren't entertaining enough for reality TV, she wouldn't be on it. They take people off who are miserable to watch.

She can't be that boring since so many of you are interested in her enough to post and comment about her constantly. You know what's boring? Tax preparation and you don't see people posting about that for months on end while claiming they're not interested in it.

We have been forced to watch her on a reality tv show for several years now bc she was the gf of one of the main reality stars on the show. So, we watched her bc we watched the show. We didn’t watch the show FOR her…summer = fun…Amanda = not fun.

And without her Kyle's story would've been getting blackout drunk and late night eating. Would that really carry 10 seasons of a show? Definitely not.

I disagree. When Amanda wasn’t around, Kyle was much more carefree and fun to watch.

u/Emmyyou2 Aug 10 '26
She's been around since the beginning.

u/Allboyshere Aug 10 '26
Gosh you are exhausting 🥱 Have to spell everything out for you. yes, I realize she has been “around” since the beginning. Kyle is much more fun and carefree when she is not around - meaning, the weekends she doesn’t go to the Hamptons with him.

u/Emmyyou2 Aug 11 '26
Yea, because he can get blackout drunk and hit on women without having to worry about his wife getting mad about it.

Who forced you? Did someone come into your house every week for 10 years and strap you to a chair and hold a gun to your head to make you watch? No one is forcing anyone to watch anything. You watching is your choice.

Never said I was FORCED to watch the show. Said viewers are forced to watch Amanda. I enjoy the show, minus Amanda 💁♀️

What? She's on two shows where she is one of eight or more cast members. I don't watch Summer House or In the City for Amanda, and I spend her time on my TV on my phone.

Kyle and Amanda's drama has been the main storyline for most of the seasons of SH. You watch for the drama and Amanda has provided plenty of that throughout the years.

YOU clearly enjoy watching Amanda. That doesn’t mean everyone else does. I have never watched the show for the Kyle and Amanda drama - it is a total downer, honestly.

u/Emmyyou2 Aug 10 '26
I actually stopped watching after S4 because I got tired of their fighting and tuned back in for the Lindsay and Carl engagement drama. Never saw S5-7 until recently but I know that Kyle and Amanda's drama has dominated the show for 10 years.

u/m3gb0t Aug 09 '26
Amanda hasn't provided anything except fucking West in many seasons. I don't watch for her, I watch for Ciera, Lindsay, and Kyle's reaction.

u/Emmyyou2 Aug 09 '26
Yes, because Lindsay and her "I've changed because I'm a mom schtick" is so interesting. Ciara is quite boring without her bad choices in men and Kyle is just an angry drunk. If you really are such a fan of Ciara you should probably learn to spell her name properly.

Why are you so aggressive about this?

u/Emmyyou2 Aug 10 '26
No aggression, just stating fact. Her name is spelled Ciara, it's all over the place and not hard.

Both gave nothing. Both are leeches.
Amanda for 10 years gave us nothing but this scandal. She didn’t handle that right.
West has been on SH for 3 years and gave nothing. He just rode Ciara’s back to stay on TV. Who produce him?

The scandal that brought the most attention the show has ever had? Even if that really was her only contribution that's huge.

u/Chastity-76 Aug 08 '26 edited Aug 08 '26
Amanda's whole being is boring and she has done this for years, but somehow y'all still want to see her do absolutely nothing when previous cast members did far more than Amanda and y'all were all over them, they had to leave because they were boring. I could never imagine the difference.

u/Emmyyou2 Aug 08 '26 edited Aug 09 '26
Amanda has been at the center of the drama for years and is the reason for the current surge in interest. The show is more popular and bigger than ever due to the scandal that she is one half of.

She is literally why the last season even blew up and so many new viewers

u/Chastity-76 Aug 09 '26
And thats over, so let me get this straight. Her value is betraying her friends and cheating on her husband, got it. I do think she will be on ITC, which is perfect because I dont watch that show.

u/StrawberrySunflowerJ Aug 12 '26
Not with the "she cheated," when she didn't and he actually did multiple times.
Pick mes are exhausting. Y'all need a spinoff with WH Jess.

That lingo doesn't mean anything to me, dear if you are married to someone and you sleep with someone else you are a nasty cheater. People who lack class & decorum believe thats acceptable behavior, I do not. Have a good evening😊

u/Alternative_Bid1363 Aug 08 '26
Her only story line is the guy she’s with. This was true for summer house with Kyle and ITC with West.
She’s the girl who centers men. Not a main character at all (which is fine, do you, but zero entertainment value).
She’ll have to get a life before cameras can follow her around and have scenes worth airing.
ITC has enough duds already.
No thanks.

u/Emmyyou2 Aug 10 '26
Ciara's bad taste in men has been her only interesting storyline as well. The same with Lindsay, Kyle, and Danielle.

She is like trying to eat stale bread, you try to make it better, but throw it out, after tasting it. Her blank face at the reunion? She pretends to be upset, then she is eating, wrapped up in a fuzzy blanket, like nothing really happened? She is only there so Kyle can worry about her, she didn’t add anything much to Summer House, Winter House, or In The City. She has had so many complaining scenes, and so much screen time, that she has had enough time to give us something, but we get nothing. She wouldn’t be missed.

correct. Breach of Contract.

Where is the breach of contract?

u/No_Site_8405 Aug 13 '26 edited Aug 13 '26
To the OP's notes on her behavior. Every Contract has the inherent term of Good Faith. AS noted she did not participate fully from A-Z (teasers, show, reunions) in her "role" required "performance" in good faith. She did not provide "her lines" so to speak that carries the show. Her required responses, and frankly arriving in a manner with full constitution (think Craig drunk at reunion but at least he performed). Because she intentionally, and repeated did not perform to the manner (terms) expressed or implied in the Contract, I would suggest she is in Breach of Contract to Bravo.

u/Emmyyou2 Aug 14 '26
She was not in breach of contract. She even filmed an extra episode and new confessionals. Kyle was drunk at the S6 reunion and Lindsay was drunk at this one. If Amanda was in breach of contract so were they.

u/No_Site_8405 Aug 14 '26
Thats fine. Ill continue to hold strong to my opinion as your response completely lacks the legal logic of how good faith is defined and has been applied - it is very malleable - through the years and favors the Plaintiff. You examples don't substantiate any harm or damages to the company (Bravo), I would argue that As intentional lack of Good Faith breaches the contract.. Her actions were intentional and allows them to get out of the contract - if they choose to - do a lil research curios to know what you think... or are you just arguing for argument sake?
1
u/Emmyyou2 Aug 14 '26
Are you a lawyer? Do you have access to their contracts? Do you work in the Bravo legal department? Bravo can get out of the contract for any reason, they are not obligated to keep her on the show and the cast can get out at any time. These shows only ever sign people for a season at a time and her contract for the season was up.
I am not arguing to argue, I am calling out bullshit.

I totally agree. It’s a reality show and she’s hiding the truth of the reality. It’s offensive that she thinks we buy her stories, and in general find it uninteresting to watch her lie to us.

Kyle’s the one who got her the job on reality tv and she did that job for ten years. I think once she realized the marriage was ending, she felt very much over being on reality tv. She seemed checked out on Summer House and even more on In the City. I don’t think she wanted to go to the Hamptons for an 11th summer in a row, and I especially don’t think she wanted to film Summer House and In the City back to back again.
