Ok so I feel insane but.. (Rosie Kelsey fight)
Apologies for the length!! I have so many feelings!!
I feel so crazy because every single post I’ve seen is like boom mic drop Rosie. But……. I just don’t see it. I wouldn’t say I’m “team” anyone but from that very first picnic situation I was like mmmmm there’s something about Rosie that does not sit right with me. You cannot convince me she wasn’t bringing up “polygamy” completely out of innocent curiosity and not with some intent to poke and prod and portray Kelsey’s situation in a bad light. I don’t think she’s intentionally malicious, or a bad person. I chalk it up to immaturity more than anything but also she is kind of old enough to not be quite so immature. IMO. And truly I say this from a place of relatability more than anything else!! Like, I know what it’s like to desperately want everyone to like me. She had a quote towards the beginning of the season where she was like even though I know it’s impossible to be liked by everyone I’m still going to try. And I was like wowwwww same girl. But I think this puts her on the defensive of a lot of the time, which can be off putting to people or come across fake.. or at times be a tactic where one tries to show how others are “less likable” than you, because then others will see why they should like you more. (And it seems to be working!!)
To be clear— I do not think Kelsey is a sweet perfect angel or anything, but I do feel like she gets some unnecessary judgement for her sort of role as sugar baby or whatever. Tbh seems to me like a very plausible situation for a young attractive woman to fall into and then feel confused about getting out of. Idk.
I read so many posts before watching the episode and I felt like ok this is going to be what makes me team Rosie!! But then Kelsey’s “house police” entrance actually made me laugh! I felt like she was poking fun at herself way more than she was at Rosie. So I was confused and then Rosie was sooooo defensive it just sort of solidified my feelings about her and the hole she kinda digs herself.
Am I literally the only person on the planet with these thoughts/feelings?
