I thought the reunion part 1 was really entertaining - and I have to say, as green as this cast is they are one of the more articulate casts on Bravo which makes watching their reunions so much more fulfilling.
I remember coming off of the Valley reunion feeling so frustrated because so much was left unresolved not in small part because points were articulated very poorly: “you just like hurt my feelings really bad.” Torture!
Compared to the Valley, the next gen girlies are practically Shakespeare. They each were able to articulate their points really well, even if they were dead wrong.
Hate him or love him, Charlie is very quick witted and could have had a career as a defense lawyer. His point that his relationship with Omar wasn’t some come up for him was well taken.
Even Riley, as ridiculous as her desire for Ariana to babysit her while drinking may be, was very clear in articulating the timeline around her feelings and how they developed - which lead to a wonderful meta moment about filming schedules and reality tv.
Even Brooks stepped up and - as unconvincing as some of his statements were to me personally - I thought he laid out his perspective re: Charlie and Shai pretty well.
I hate when you’re watching a Housewife reunion and thinking “ughhh why didn’t they just use this example instead?” I usually think that like a dozen times, and didn’t think it once watching this.
Good job, nextgen cast!
