Some people say it's because she's blonde and his type is brunettes but I think it's because they weren't that far apart in age , Big obviously had a thing for younger women ( Carrie was 10 years younger and Natasha was just 25),I could be wrong tho.

ETA : I didn't post this because I think it's unfathomable that he "chose Carrie over Sam" , I just thought it would be fun to see what the fandom deduced from this scene

For me, it's the "Sam Jones? Sam jones"

it gives me the ick as these kids are in college and Samantha is almost 40

It could've been avoided

We all loved Natasha in this scene and how she’s “sorry” that her husband cheated on her with Carrie. It was perfect, perfectly delivered by the actress, and so sarcastic. We all loved it.

But ummm… what did Carrie say after that?

She completely ignores the whole part about ruining someone’s life and gets up and says, “All this happened and now it’s a chain of karmic reactions that has now put Natasha on the singles market, like it was already not difficult enough for single girls… and now somewhere Big is single again.”

Sorry, WHAT??

I’ve watched this show probably 100 times and only now realised how insanely self-centred this was.

Everyone has already talked about what Carrie wore to look hot in this scene, but her monologue afterwards doesn’t get discussed nearly enough.

She literally shifts the entire conversation away from what Natasha just said and starts thinking about how difficult it is for single girls and how, oh no, Natasha is single now too, so there’s an even smaller pool of men.

Girl. 😭

Natasha was happily married until YOU came along and broke her marriage.

So maybe there was no need to complain about the dating pool getting smaller.

Before anything, I do like Samantha. I think she’s quite charismatic, hilarious, and witty. But like come onnnnn. You couldn’t just behave for ONE week??!!! Like why would you put yourself AND your friends in a situation that is likely to get you arrested(prison in a foreign land is quite literally one of the worst predicaments you can be in)??? It’s disrespectful to your host too like they literally covered the cost of everything and you couldn’t just behave like a normal person???!!! It isn’t hard to respect the laws of a land. The only saving grace was that they still flew first class back. There’s many scenarios that would warrant cutting Samantha off but this is definitely in top 2.

EDIT: This is not a pass whatsoever for the guy she was with. I’ve always been and will forever be for the girls and I hope his ass spent a couple days in jail. At the same time, this situation was truly appalling and could have ended so badly for all the girls 😭😭.

When Sam is role-playing with Smith, she's seen waiting for him in a bar WEARING THIS?!

A thong, pasties and cover-up? And she's out in the city, taking cabs and walking and all? Girl... I just couldn't suspend my belief for this one.

She looked absolutely gorgeous in this , but my god was she unhinged 😭 not only did she meet up with Big's ex wife behind his back to get more information about their divorce , she also decided to dress up like her by straightening her hair and changing her style.

My girl's insecurity ran so deep 💔, always putting herself in a competition with his ex wives.

I never understood why Charlotte stormed off after Samantha said this. It seemed a little dramatic and out of place given the topics they usually discuss. Any thoughts??
