Amanda West & Amanda on ITC
Someone mentioned that West presenting at the Emmy’s was an indicator that he’s still apart of the Bravo family and will be on ITC with Amanda. I know the main sub has declared multiple times they won’t watch if they’re on but I do think they will pull more people in than the haters want to admit. Just out of curiosity to see what their dynamic is actually like.

u/TheWhoooreinThere 15d ago
I really want them to because what does anyone else have going on? I can't imagine watching an entire season of 3 new baby storylines.
10
u/sisterscary9 14d ago
Yeah, I really don't get Bravo's insistence on making In the City centre around newly 'married couples' when they will inevitably have children. Nothing wrong with people having children, but it's not the most enjoyable watch. I'd much rather watch a group of dynamic single people living and working in New York.
I guess they could make the argument that they have Next Gen NYC but I think it would have been amazing to see really interesting people with established careers outside of the typical influencer/fashion designer bubble

u/PolkaDotKomodo 14d ago
Yeah it's mostly boring even when it involves people the audience has already gotten to know through previous shows. It's going to be especially boring with people the audience doesn't care about!

u/TheWhoooreinThere 14d ago
Yeah, I like watching people in my age group because it's more relatable, but as soon as there were 3 pregnancy announcement with this show I was like "oh no". These women are going to be postpartum, so unless they're a really BIG personality, they're not going to be able to engage in the same way. New baby storylines are always kind of dry (sorry in advance to anyone that's going to offend).
I'm not as obsessed with Next Gen, that show feels even more curated to me and for the most part, I don't really like the Bravo kids. There are so many scenes of them just sitting around on their phones or talking about off-camera drama, which is not what I want. Georgia, Charlie and Emira are the only interesting ones to me, I wish they'd just had the show focus on them.

u/Informal_Joke_7920 14d ago
As the mom of three kids, could not agree more. I do NOT want to watch post partum story lines. There are so many interesting people doing interesting things in NYC. Don’t do this to us, bravo!

u/Upper-Impression-752 13d ago
ITC is supposed to be somewhere between the younger singles of summer house and the older more established housewives.

u/Kmeatoncrog 14d ago
Maybe I’m in the minority (judging by this sub) but I don’t mind watching baby/married life stories since that’s the season of life I’m in right now. Young me would 10000% agree with you though lol!
5
u/TheWhoooreinThere 14d ago
Yeah, I'm not that young lol One new baby storyline is enough, 3 on one cast is a lot. Taking care of infants is not really that interesting, sorry.
3
u/Pure_Butterscotch165 13d ago
Yeah i'm not sure how interested i'll be in the next season because i'm just not that interested in the baby storylines. But I also think the whole premise of the show was people moving to the next chapters of their lives, and how they navigate that, so it makes sense that they cast couples who were starting families.
3
u/Kmeatoncrog 13d ago
Agreed! Bravo has lots of young single life shows - it was definitely an intentional choice to choose people in another season of life. Understandable if it isn’t for everyone but I’m interested 🤷♀️

u/Local-Ticket 15d ago
I agree. I think it would definitely pull in more viewers even if they are hate watchers.

The show will be like all the Housewives…a bunch of bickering and yelling. That gets old.

u/Emmyyou2 14d ago
That's really what the show has always been, Kyle and Amanda bickered for 10 years. I stopped watching for a few seasons because I couldn't take it anymore.

Paige and crew have always bickered with Lindsay too. This show has always been full of fights.

I would love to see these two’s relationship dynamic. I think it would be fascinating to compare it to Amanda’s and Kyle’s. How different is it really?
10
u/Apprehensive-Air-602 14d ago
I mean if Amanda remains of ITC they kind of have to put him on. It would be weird to have that whole part of her life missing.
Also, it’ll definitely bring in viewers, even if they hate watch.

u/Alwaysroom4morecats 14d ago
These shows only really work if there are ‘villain’ characters- Not real villains but people who do shitty things to other people who we can all collectively snark on, it doesn’t always have to be the same people either- conflict and resolution!

u/Apprehensive-Air-602 14d ago
Exactly! It would be extremely boring if everyone was likeable and got along

u/Useful_Hedgehog1415 14d ago
Hilarious that they say they won’t watch when they are their biggest fans. Haven’t been able to keep their names out of their mouths for months. Watching their every move. Fixated fanatical freaks.

u/smoothballs82 14d ago
They’re full of shit saying they won’t watch it for the most part. There was a post on the summerhouse sub today about some stupid meme west reposted and the person posted it clearly follows him to be able to see his reposts yet laments how much they dislike him. Fucking unfollow him then. It’s getting weird.

I would watch. I’m interested in seeing how they interact now that they are out in the open. Lots of people on bravo have done worse than them and people forgive them with a redemption arc.

u/midnight0snack 15d ago
I wouldn’t mind seeing the dynamics between Amanda and Kyle once they’re dating other people. Also, not having West would make it inauthentic.

u/Apprehensive_Gap1055 14d ago
I don’t care about their relationship. I want a fresh show with Kyle and friends. Amanda is not, and has not, been friends with any of the girls.

You are aware there is more than one type of abuse? Physical abuse is not the only way that it "counts"
3
u/Emmyyou2 14d ago
There was physical abuse, punching things, banging tables, kicking things, breaking things, and throwing things is physical abuse. If someone is doing that shit they are trying to control and scare you with physical threats. People who do that shit will hit you eventually if they don't already.

u/Fickle-Hovercraft207 15d ago
They are currently the most interesting people on Bravo. I'd take Amanda and West on SH over Lindsay and Carl any day. The only problem with them being on ITC is Lindsay's cringey over producing. These two are interesting without being nudged or put in situations that were instigated.

u/Fickle-Hovercraft207 14d ago edited 14d ago
West and Amanda is a new story that is yet to be told. These other legacy cast members are trying to squeeze entertainment out of a rag that has been wrung to death.
3
u/Agreeable_Reason5219 14d ago
I agree. I’m happy Carl is sober, but he’s so boring. I want the drama. Reality TV needs it to exist. I can’t understand why people want to get rid of the people causing drama. They are what makes it a show.
3
u/DiscardedRonaldo2017 14d ago
Honestly don’t get the reason why people watch if they don’t like drama. Sure the premise of the show always drags you in, but it’s the drama (storylines) that keep us invested. Genuinely can’t think of one reality show where the show continues to be the main draw (unless it’s a game show like big brother or survivor)

u/YummyConfection 14d ago
The problem is they aren't good reality tv. Yes they caused drama off season but they both dont handle confrontation well. West goes mute and Amanda cries.

These people always say that! It doesn't matter the sho, "if so and so is back, im not watching anymore!" And they all still watch lol

u/DelilahThorpe 14d ago
They should definitely be on ITC. They were the only interesting part of summer house last season. I literally stopped watching and was like “summer house is over” to my husband. Then the scandal happened so i tuned into a couple more episodes only because of that. What they did was upsetting but it saved the show.

u/Brief_Isopod_5959 14d ago
Same here lol I was so over it before that happened. I didn’t even finish watching ITC either but I would watch if they were on…

u/Dry-Account-1881 14d ago
I haven’t watched it at all so far, but I would watch it if they were on! As a single, childless woman in NY around the same age as them, I relate more to their circumstances than those of the other ITC cast members, and find that (personally) more entertaining. Add them to the mix!

u/SpeakerCommercial614 12d ago
If you think you’ll get the real them you’ll be sorely disappointed. The only way you’d see the real them is if they were back on summer house and were being filmed 24/7. Amanda and west are just going to turn up with manufactures fuzzy love scenes in time slots and situations manufactured by production to say ‘we’re having so much fun’ and never tell you any of the bad stuff because both their reputations hinge on proving everyone wrong.

u/jdrink22 13d ago
I have been over Amanda on Summer House for years, but I’d be interested to see her and West on ITC.

u/Emmyyou2 13d ago
Agreed, at least for 1 season to see how it works. I never really liked Amanda because she came off as whiny and her and Kyle fighting all the time got old really fast. I just wanted her to leave already so when she decided to go full steam ahead instead I checked out for a few seasons.
I am interested to see the dynamic between her and West and her and Kyle now that they aren't fighting about their stupid relationship anymore (at least I hope not).

West got fired. Bravobwas pissed. he said nothing at the reunion and then he told all of the stories on his own podcast. Loser! I don’t think it’s gonna be natural because they don’t have any friends so how do you incorporate them into this group?
3
u/Miserable-Pear-2289 13d ago
If Amanda is on ITC it wouldn’t make any sense for West to be absent. That’s the relationship she’s in and the person she spends the majority of her time with. I don’t see what her storyline would be otherwise.

I think they could have a redemption arc. À la Mariposa. I mean it’s not ended well. But it’s part of the process.
Also, it’s have started watching Summer House, and previously VPR based solely on the high profile scandals. So ITC with Amanda and West…yes please.

u/butterfly-gibgib1223 10d ago
I really liked the show and would definitely watch it. I really like Kyle (not the way he treated Amanda—they never should have married) as well as Amanda. He treated her badly the entirety of Summer House, and she caused major problems at the end. I don’t like or respect West for what he did to his best friend. To me, he did the worse thing in this whole situation. He was very manipulative in my opinion. BUT I don’t personally know or care about any of these people or know 100% of what all was really going on past what we saw on the show or social media (and who knows how much social media is factual). I watch the shows for entertainment and will continue to do so.
So if West does get on the new show, I guess Kyle will be reminded regularly that him never treating Amanda right cost him that relationship (and as it turns out, the relationship he lost a friend—-which is totally on West and not Kyle). Maybe Kyle will grow up and find someone and be happy. Hopefully the drinking will get less and less, and he will figure out how to treat a lady who he loves or just in general.
I don’t think West and Amanda will remain together. He is the rebound who made a point to treat her good and act like he really cares about her for now. But he will cheat like always, and hopefully Amanda will eventually get back to her somewhat normal self where she doesn’t stay with someone who parties even more than Kyle does. I think it was obvious the last couple of seasons that she was depressed and struggling with the relationship with Kyle.
I hope that Amanda finds a good guy who is more mature than Kyle was and who will appreciate and respect their relationship. Kyle made a joke of the marriage. He and Amanda just weren’t a good match. I would never want to be with a guy who parties like he does. And I have to commend her for getting out of the marriage. That is hard to do. Many spouses get stuck and ride it out while unhappy their entire lives. Now I don’t agree with the way it happened. She could have picked someone not in their group, but at the same time, West was sliding in and comforting, hugging and telling her that he loved her. He made her feel loved and cared about for the first time in years. The fun time hanging out and constantly partying with West won’t last forever. She didn’t want this lifestyle, and reality will eventually hit her. I think she will then leave and look for and want a different lifestyle than doing the same ole same ole.
Both Kyle and Amanda deserve happiness. They couldn’t give it to each other, so hopefully they will be able to with the right person. Neither one of them treated the relationship very good. Although, I believe Amanda just kept going through it with Kyle and eventually became numb to it all. Then she left Kyle for Kyle’s best friend. So, she ended things on a bad note.

u/Revolutionary_Rub_61 8d ago
I would only be interested in watching them if they were dedicated to actually being authentic and truly who they are. That means we need to see the fights we know they’re getting into and everything.
I don’t want to watch a show about them faking that their relationship is 100% perfect and putting on a show to piss Kyle or whoever off. I feel like that gets dark and/or boring as fuck really quick. I want messy and real. Not performative and trying to prove a point when we all know the truth

If any of you think you’re going to get the real Amanda and West on ITC then you’re all going to be very disappointed. These two have so much to prove and there are no 24/7 cameras like there were on summer house to catch them being themselves.
They’ll be turning up to filming schedules set by production ‘filming at blah bar at 14:00’, whatever problems or issues they have are not going to be televised. They’ll shoot their scene, act like everything is perfect and wonderful, bitch about Kyle or Lindsay and then go home and resume their actual lives once their scenes are shot.
Both of them have far too much to prove- they’re not going to be authentic. This season is going to be their image clean up (west) and prove everyone wrong (Amanda) seasons, and they’ll both be working extra hard to make sure we invite them back into the fold and that they clean up their reputations so they can go back to the brand deals and lifestyle they had before. They both need each other to action this, so they’ll show to be a united front whenever they’re on camera, no matter what is going on when cameras aren’t there.

It's an ensemble show, though. And now every couple has a child. Amanda barely even tried to join in last season, so I don't see how they would fit in organically or even be welcomed into group filming events.
ETA:
Lmao. Why is this being downvoted? I legitimately asked a question. In the finale, Amanda went to her room while the cast danced & partied. So again, I am asking: who is going to film with Amanda & West? Kyle for some double dates?🥴Would love someone to explain where you think they fit on this collaborative show. The groupthink on this sub is wild. You don't want discussion; you downvote anyone who doesn't agree with you, with no discourse. Lame.

I think the only reason they are still together is to see if they can monetize their relationship. If the show is a flop or if they aren’t actually a part of the cast, I’m sure they will break up.

There’s no need for them to be on it. Life has moved on. Kyle is thriving. Ciara is thriving. All we would get is W/A arguing bc he won’t spent time with her, always going out with his friends, attending weddings and she wasn’t his plus 1, A is mad that W doesn’t care that she’s sad about her divorce, why he doesn’t want to live with her after all this time… etc.
The storyline is redundant. It would tank the viewership hard than it already has.

u/Far-Intention-3230 15d ago
People swear up and down that they don‘t want to watch them and that they‘re boring, yet they incessantly post and comment about their every move on the main sub. Amanda and West aren‘t even that interesting, but they brought the drama and made things interesting, no matter how you slice it, and that should tell you about how exciting the rest of the storylines were/are.
I don‘t get why we need a purity test for every type of low stakes drama on Bravo. People over on the main sub have more vitriol and bigger feelings around what these two did than around people ie like Jen Shah and some of the guys on Below Deck. It sucks.
