Shannon boils my blood tbh. She’s so bitter and then says “I’m not bitter” like, girl, you are. Main thing is that she constantly describes herself (and anyone else who was in the same situation but managed to take it less personally) as the “48 hours club” like it’s a joke, but it seems it’s just really her way of coping and having a dig at the show itself, besides the fact it’s a really unfunny joke.
she’s always seemed off with the show since her time in it, never seemed to support anyone in there and probably will never talk to any of them again.
And then calling the reunion a waste of time when her opinion is irrelevant. She had to be there, no point moaning about it after the fact. Just go and accept it and move on.
they really do think they’re doing something by shitting on the show because it hasn’t been a good season. that hardly makes things any better.
they all seemed to enjoy their time in there for the most part, so it seems weird to just change up and go on about the show being a waste of time etc just because the public didn’t exactly love the 1hr episodes that aired and they’d rather agree with the public on that. They just don’t seem to get that the public not enjoying the very edited and cut-down episodes, doesn’t diminish the enjoyment the cast themselves had.
Islanders clearly care a lot more about image and how things are perceived, than how they genuinely feel to them in their experience if that makes sense.
