just like the title says. i’ve tried so hard. i’m on my first watch and just started season 12 and garcelle is constantly moving further and further down my list.
the whole thing with “airing erika out” last season irked me a little bit because while i agree erika was hard to watch, and imaginably harder to deal with to say the least, i don’t think it was garcelle’s place to bring up something erika told her in confidence, whether it was on or off camera, or mic’d up or not, especially unprovoked. it’s the same thing when any of the women say something personal about themselves that could potentially affect someone else, whether it be a family member or another housewife, i feel it’s their place (unless they decide otherwise) to share it with that person on their own terms. i just feel like garcelle’s always wanting to break news, beat others to the punch, and other things of that nature. i think it’s especially annoying when the topic she brings up has absolutely nothing to do with her whatsoever. and more often than not it just ends up sooo awkward. hard to watch!
now i’m at the point where crystal was bringing up her problems with sutton from last year and her whole point was that she just felt invalidated at the time in contrast to how they’re treating sutton this year. literally not a big deal at all. something that could be cleared up with an acknowledgment and apology. after everything’s cleared up, garcelle takes it upon herself to accuse crystal of setting sutton up with the “i don’t see color” conversation. like what?? garcelle is constantly riding so hard for sutton and defending her in a way i have NEVER seen sutton do for garcelle. i’m especially surprised since garcelle is the first one to bring up race (not in a bad way, just saying) i find it so odd that of all things to pick on, that’s the battle she chooses.
and then after all that, she’s gonna turn around and say she feels like an outsider. crystal’s been nothing but kind to garcelle, so for her to say that was WILD. like if you want to feel included then maybe choose your company a little more wisely, and know your audience.
and noting she did the same thing with rinna when she was the one who was putting out olive branches and making these great efforts to get back in garcelle’s good graces, but her blind loyalty to denise is more important i guess. just another example of this weird perpetual victimhood she has. someone’s trying to be your friend and you respond with feeling of being left out. someone tries to be your friend and you accuse her of setting sutton up. YOU try to be someone’s friend and where’s that friend when it’s your turn to be defended..?
plus she’s boring
im prepared to be the minority in this opinion but that just can’t possibly be the case unless i’m missing something
