I'm Kiana and I leveled up my business with Shopify. Once I figured out that Shopify was a thing, I never turn back. I can create a site with my eyes closed. Shopify thinks ahead of us, you know, and it thinks about the customer more than anything. Every day I'm thinking about some other new business, but Shopify is doing it to me because it's so easy to use. It's like I can't stop I'm addicted Start your free trial at shhopify d. com What's going on everybody? This is a little preview that we like to share with you every now and then of what you're going to find in Valfil's pllot. This is an episode of Pop Extra. On this particular episode where we obviously get into the weeds of the summer House Reunion. There's so much to unpack, so many layers. I think honestly the biggest difference between this scandal and Scanibal, But I think Scannival will always be bigger probably just because it was first, but I think this is so layered because it's continuing to go ongo. Anyways, we get into the weeds. We also watched the crash at Streaming now Netflix, that terrible, terrible tragedy of a seventeen year old girl who was sentenced in the murder of her friends. Anyways, it's one of those documentaries of, do you think she did it? Did she not do it? It's fascinating as much as it is tragic, and we get into that and discuss that as well. All the things that you guys are certainly passionate about. So check it out. This is a preview. Hope you enjoy And it is evident with Sierra is that like that that affinity that she had for West went far beyond whatever storyline. and he's pretending almost as if like this was just a storyline for both of them, and it clearly wasn't a storyline for her Yeah Well, actually, I saw this thing on the reds that and let's see Hubbard like replied to it. someomeone had basically like posted Wes noticed a few weekends into the summer that Amanda was looking like the victim of a horrible marriage. He realizes she may come out of this season with the fame and opportunity akin to Ariana Maddox He then decides to lean into looking like a supportive friend and hero for Amanda so he can weasel his way into capitalizing on her after season success. newew network of opportunities unlocked. You cannot convince me otherwise. And then Lindsey replied to this on threads with and Bingo was his nameo that little wom. and trying to think of if I don't know that he would have chose to be with her forest storyline Oh, it's not even I that is what it's like I've seen people being like, don't give West that much credit because everyone's like West is stupid but I'm like I think he's careless. I don't think he's stupid. He's breckless. Yeah. Yeah. and I think he probably maybe it was subconscious, but I don't think he mapped it out in his bedroom, but I also you know. I think he knows how this shit works and I think he He can I think he was aware of the idea that he might benefit from that friendship clloseness with Amanda But the only thing that doesn't make sense is they couldn't have been that dumb to like think that this would go anyway other than it did. I agree then it's going. That's I don't think it was like a intotential storyler I think it was their lives and them This is what I also thought about during re able to recap of Lake Not to defend Amanda, but like She's going into her own form of survival because of the divorce and everything that she's clearly not thinking with herre at. you know Like all of the common sense is well for She' for sure in survival mode, but I also think there have been plenty of women in survival mode who I mean how many how many times have we watched people go through these awful divorces on TV. on Bravo and they don't with They're best friends X Yeah, but it doesn't explain the west of it all Why he Well, that's yeah, that's what I was saying to Amanda I can kind of see, but West iss kind of like, oh well, he's just a fuck boy. and like Unless it was the blind leading the blind Who is the first blind to lead the blind? I think it's blindly in the blind where like if you take it West at face value that he was the one who like pursued her and said like, oh, is there something here? And then once Amanda was like, yes I could see Amanda tellelling West. how this is going to play out And like this will be okay peopleople love me or something I don't know if it was like that like on the nose But I think it was it could have been them trying to convince themselves that like this was going to land in a way that it never was going to I don't know But again, that doesn't what doesn't make sense that they were clearly lying to their friends and castmates. That's the part that's crazy But if if they thought it would benefit them, then it doesn't make sense that they would have to lie about it. And also he was making Al Sierra as he was also doing that. Part of me wonders if Wes L forgot everything he did with Sierra last summer and didn't anticipate like The whole season storyline would be a would they won't they get back together? which also again, doesn't make sense There's way he's doing all of his confessionals like that being like, I just don't know to talk to her. but And then also Kyle said like you've spent and Kyle said youve spent more time with my wife than I have. So that means it's pre. That summer evenilming. That's mess. Yeah. I mean the fact that like, You have in the city Kyle being like, that in that pickup. I mean, obviously it's a later pickup, but I think Kyle clocked that there was something going on after watching Summer House backack So when he said there's been maybe since June twenty twenty five Do you think Amanda and Wes have watched back the season two and also been like They got us You know Like we're always thinking of like Kyle watching it back and being hurt but like Kyle and Amanda. sorry, Amanda and West Like are they surprised how much they got caught putting this sock in like on the likeike and if Amanda Has any sense of self left? I think she's watching that and she's sick to her stomach G embarrassment. It's like Reret that they didn't do it more secretive. Both. I think she's just like fuck probably You know? And the fact that she called it a revelation Or maybe maybe in her brain, she was like, I didn't even see it. whichich is a joke. but no, but there was that again the finale where she's hugging by the door and see how the look something walks out and head I don't know how else you interpret that. They knew from the start they were doing something, not from the start, but they knew at some point that they were doing something kind of risky, which is why Amanda was lying to Sara in the text messages Yeah, the whole like, oh my god, the internetets doing their thing and like that was the biggest moment to me that I was like, that's crazy. Like she was actually cospling the supportive friend and saying everything, knowing she was not doing that. Yeah. Yeah. it's also just And it's such bullshit when people are in these situations and are like Oh I didn't even realize like blah blahah, It's like if you it's the whole location thing. It's like You know you're doing something wrong you are actively aware that you, if you weren't feeling like you were doing something wrong then why Are you acting like that? Like she knows, she's not stupid. She's an adult You know what I mean He knows that she's attracted to West Do you remember the love is being weird? No Do you remember the loveove is Bind season where there was the girl that tracked the guy on his like loocation and saw that he left the house and like went back to a bar or something. I don't know ye, yeah yeah. Like even that, like that was him just not realizing she could track his Apple Watch or whatever. And this is like Amanda intentionally turning off her location and like she's going somewhere she doesn't want to be tracked and thinking that her friends aren't gonna notice her turning off her location. You know, like that's different than like just being naive
