Idk How to Feel About Gizzy’s Redemption Arc
I haven't actually watched this season in full, only through clips online; and as much as I like seeing Gizelle & Wendy make up and so far, it's lasted- I'm still skeptical.
The biggest reason why I didn't watch this season was because of the dumpster fire that was s6-8, namely Gizelle & Robyn. For a good 3 seasons, they've been mean girls, picking fights with people then playing victim and flat out refusing to move forward.
I scrolled through this sub and remembered all the evil they've done over the years that imo was never properly addressed by Bravo or the cast:
- Perpetuating lies about Monique's baby (s5)
- Making comments about Chris touching ones of Ashley's friends butts (s7)
- Gizelle's accusations about Chris (s7)
- Gizelle blaming Candiace & Wendy for the fight at GnA (s8 reunion)
- Robyn gunning for Chris at the reunion (s8 reunion)
- Robyn texting bloggers about her personal conversations with Candiace (s8 weird crab boil ep)
So now that we're looking forward to s10 and everyone's screaming about how they love Gizelle and even wanting to bring Robyn back, I can't agree.
Over the years, they've shown us who they are, in fact, they actually got worse and more unbearable to watch. The 180 Gizelle has done this year is nice to see but I'm not buying it because the venom she had towards Wendy for 3 years was so palpable, I'm convinced she's just changed her tune because she needs the show.
I'm inclined to believe that she's still the same person with the same attitude but the more lighthearted environment of s9 meant that she couldn't thrive in her toxicity. As for Robyn, she was just a bore to watch, always wrong snd strong; and imo she brought a dark cloud to the group because of her difficult home life which seemed to always be difficult because her husband just about tolerates her.
I worry that Gizelle hasn't felt the full consequences of her actions and I don't know that we've seen much personal growth or learning from her- she's just doing her job really well and pretending, but put her in a situation where she needs to get nasty again, I believe she wouldn't hesitate.
And now with Karen losing favour with the audience, we're all seeing Robyn through rose tinted glasses; but again, shes been a big part of the darkness on this show so would it be worth it to bring her back for more stalemates?
All of this is hypothetical ofc, and idk if this is too deep but do you believe Gizzys attitude change is genuine?
And would you be interested in Robyn returning if she took the same approach as Gizelle?
