I suspect that I could get some hate for this but I'm still going to go out on a limb and share my take.

As much as I'd never want to agree with Ryan, it seems like he's stepped up with her children and has had some good parenting insights.

Jen strikes me as a truly lazy parent. She wants to be friends with her children rather than parent them and allows them free rein. I'm pretty confident that's how it's always been. It's not over compensating or guilt for divorcing their father.

Point of interest for me was the talk she had with Grayson in episode 3. Am I alone in my thinking that he was completely manipulating her during that exchange??? I felt that he was playing into her insecurities to minimize her response to his speeding ticket situation. No actual tears were shed and he recovered in an instant.

Monk has been on my watch list for years and I finally started it this evening. I really enjoyed the first two episodes.

I have a stupid, but very sincere question: How long is it going to take for me to stop seeing 'Buffalo Bill' and start seeing the Captain???

In the midst of my 2nd rewatch of the series. I have been breezing through and enjoying every second of it! I just hit the point where Daphne's family become frequent guests (Gert staying with Niles). They were fine for an episode or two, but now they are sucking the joy out of the show for me! I do not recall having such a strong disdain the first time I binged the series. Remind me of some high points that will occur during this portion of the show...help me push through!!!

Starting things off with Lindsey's In The City talking head was absolutely genius. Being provided with the opportunity to watch that unfold in real time was a gift. It was endearing to see the care & support they were showing one another and their shared concern for Ciara. We were watching some serious trauma bonding. Lindsay noting that their statement didn't reflect what actually happened and Kyle referencing blinds going back to June 2025...whoa. 👀

To me, Amanda & West presented as smug, dismissive and avoidant. The eye rolling, the snide looks, the lack of eye contact; it was all demonstrative of how immature and out of touch they actually are.

Ciara, with her sexy as hell Jessica Rabbit hair, calling West fraudulent saying nobody knows him because he's fake for the cameras was glorius.

Mia calling Amanda one of West's "side bitches" while Amanda continually looks to West to interject & defend her, while he stays silent, is delicious.

Ciara was so well armed tonight: "We might as well discuss the details before I put them in the ground and cover them with dirt." That was another level of destruction! 💣

Bailey calling out Ben for "reprimanding women" and several cast agreeing that they believed he had a girlfriend the entire time needs more time. I'd really like to see that be flushed out a bit more. 🕵️‍♀️

KJ sharing his mental health challenges/journey and BPD diagnosis was brave. It was amazing to see them supporting KJ. ❤️

Amanda was visibly uncomfortable when West discussed Ciara. She looked especially uneasy when Ciara corrected West, stating that they had spent 2 nights together. Looked as though it was the first time she had heard that little piece of information. 🤔

Glad that Kyle called West out on his breadcrumbling behavior! 👏

When Lindsay finally got *activated* and called West a clout chaser, saying he'd dump Amanda when he got what he wanted was truth telling at it's finest. 🤌

Ciara OWNING Amanda & West by saying they "may actually work" because Amanda will allow him to be the star he wants to be and won't check him because she's weak was an epic takedown. Kyle saying "that was harsh"...ugh. Stop protecting her, Kyle! She's not your responsibility anymore.

I know that was only part one of a three parter, but I'm gonna go ahead and say right now that this is the greatest Bravo reunion of all time! There was just such great content.

I have started and stopped watching S12E2 seven times and am still not done. Generally, I enjoy watching most of the 90 Day series that I watch, even if I am annoyed by some of the cast. I am really struggling with this season and it's only episode 2.

Catie enjoys drinking & cheating and is just a shitty person. She's made it pretty clear that she has no intention of changing. I don't know that I need to see more of her. TBH, she sorta makes my skin crawl.

The bathtub redneck (Shea) and Anabelle are just cringy. I found him to be grotesque from the start. Now that I've seen her, I sorta get why they're together. I'm no prude, but that woman is way too crude for me. How can you be that big age and grabbing at Fat Bastard's junk (repeatedly)...especially on TV. Just gross.

And the redneck girl (Mallorie) is bringing her seemingly kind and decent boyfriend to hillbilly hell. She commented on how her people support the deportations/ICE, etc. Sounds like he'll be welcomed with open arms. Ugh. How could you allow somebody that you love to walk blindly into that type of enviroment?!

Marissa & Debby are both fools.

Let's not forget the star of the show, Ashia. I know 90 Day loves crazy, but this is another level of insanity. I can't do the speaking in tongues nonsense.

I've surrendered myself to accepting that most of the 90 Day universe has become scripted and that we get to see all sorts, but this season feels different to me.

I am contemplating taking a break for S12. Anybody else feeling similarly?
