This show is such a mess that I had to create an account to vent! In alphabetical order:
DAVINA comes across as a snob to me. She would make me very uncomfortable if I had to be around her in a work or social setting, as I feel like she is very judgmental and quick to mock someone for any "uncool" behavior (with uncool being completely defined by her and not applying to her ever). I saw Sean try to joke around with her several times during the season and get squashed by her snobiness. She also shut him down fast and hard when he did try to explain himself--I can't blame him for putting in no effort when she was just going to steam roll him at every turn. I give her credit that she didn't try to hide or tone down her personality for the sake of appearances. I also think she is a very intelligent woman, which makes her immature behavior on social media all the more confusing--isn't she concerned about how that will affect her clients' perceptions of her? Generally a dislikable character.
JACLYN was not very likeable in the beginning. She called it herself--she's rough around the edges. Ordering food for Ryan drove me nuts. But, she grew on me. She comes across as a genuinely nice person with great self-awareness, and she has a rockin bod!! Definitely my favorite character.
JESSICA is cray-cray. That still frame unthread of Ryan and her on the couch says it all. He desperately wants to get away from her, while she sits confidently with a smug smirk on her face. In my state, OPs are given to anyone for very little reason, and are thus largely abused as retaliation weapons. She got mad at him for cheating on her and saying umpteen million rude things to her. She loses control of herself and smashes his dead grandfather's watch (I don't care that she bought a new one, you can't replace sentimental value), plans this big scene where she throws a bill at him, and that's just what they decided to show. I think she she probably did start the fake IG calling Ryan a drug dealer, and I don't think she truly feels threatened by him. I think she feels hurt, and that is the real basis of the OP. I also think she has destroyed any chances of having an acting career, as she comes across as volatile and emotionally unstable, and I don't know what production company would want to run the risk of her rage after watching this drama unfold. Too bad, as she is very pretty, and interesting in the same way as that one person we all have on Facebook that you keep around just to see what crazy things they are up to now.
RYAN DOUCHE is a pretty fitting name. I've known guys like him. They are arrogant, mentally stuck at about 21, do not respect women, and run their mouths constantly. I feel like he is all talk, no action, but what kind of an idiot can't keep his mouth in check when he is on national TV and being followed by thousands of people on social media? I don't feel like he ever gave a good rebuttal to Jessica's claim that he stole the money, and I think that is because he stole the money. When she calls him out on stuff, he stammers for a minute as he tries to think of a lie to defend himself, can't think fast enough, so resorts to anger and insults instead. He is his own worst enemy.
RYAN RUN-HOME-TO-MOM actually didn't bother me much. I think he did not enjoy sex with Jaclyn, as it all seemed to go downhill at that point. Classic case of he's just not that into her. Poor Jaclyn. According to her, he did flat out tell her as much over the phone, so while he seemed to pretend to be into it on camera, I think he was more honest with her behind the scenes.
SEAN didn't come across as authentic. I think he had an idea of how he was going to run the show when it started, as he seemed very confident, forward, and even overboard with the hotel staff. However, I think he was derailed by the likes of Davina. She was not going to allow him to play out his fantasy character, so he quit playing altogether. I also wonder if perhaps he is bi, due to the LGBT bowling team, and being married to a woman meant no more men, and that thought freaked him out, and perhaps even made him question his sexuality further? I know it is reaching, but he went from very sexual, talking about sex sounds at the couples massage, to don't touch me, which I find strange. As far as the DUI--you are too old for that sort of thing, Sean. Call a cab.
Anyway, just my take on how everything has been presented by the show and the media. This took forever to type out with one finger, so my apologies for typos and Possibly repeating other opinions!
