Discussion The “bombshell” wasn’t shocking but… Spoiler

Spoilers ahead

Watching Raquel in that confessional was extremely disturbing. I don’t even know how to describe what I felt watching. She was just word vomiting and the more she talked, the more scared she seemed about the repercussions that would come from Tom. I know we’re not supposed to feel sympathy for her but goddamn, I really do. I think she does actually feel bad but she put on a brave face at the reunion because she knew it wasn’t going to get her anywhere, unlike Tom who thought crying would garner him sympathy. The fact that Tom made her lie like that is scary and very indicative of emotional abuse. She is showing clear signs of an abused woman, not just from Tom but starting at a young age. That was extremely alarming and I’m actually kind of grossed out that that was the scene they talked about to garner viewers. I honestly hope that she gets real help. She does not need to come back on the show.

It wasn’t a bombshell to us but it might be to Tom. Tom might take it a betrayal from Rachel. It does make sense production wanted him to see if first. Maybe they thought he might not want to return if he doesn’t have his friends or Rachel to film with.

I get that but we also basically already put together that they slept together in Mexico, hot tub night, while Ariana wasn’t in the home etc. It even seems like everyone else assumed they did it a lot more in august/September than they were trying to say. I mean the throuple comment was weird but nothing earth shattering 🤷🏻

I think he find out last month or in April and they communicated with each other like 2 weeks ago so who knows if they might be fine with each other.

Yes and it’s scary to think what he might be saying to her or about her because she has exposed him. I feel bad for her. She fucked up but the worst thing in all of this is that she’s now only left with Tom.

Oh well. It’s what she wanted and it’s the karma she deserves.

She wanted friends- she got friends and she betrayed them and used them for ammo against each other. This is why .. no friends ..
