he bet on the wrong horse. he really believed the good will towards amanda would outweigh the public’s perception and care for cierra

He thought Amanda's star was about to skyrocket with her split from Kyle & new show. Now he's stuck

it’s bcs his dislike for Ciara is deeper than his desire to be liked

Dara's eloquent, calm read was a masterclass in communication, power and effectiveness. Her thoughtful words were so much more impactful than any of the screaming.

truly baffled at how amanda and west plan to come back from all this. particularly after their reunion performance bc it's really something and the lack of forethought for their careers is mind boggling

He either A: thought Amanda was gonna be the next Ariana and the audience would like them together or B: he never intended to go public and thought he could pull off a fling with Amanda and discard her later secretly

I lowkey think he thought everyone would hate Kyle and love Amanda so much after this season that he could step in to support Amanda and craft this fairytale story of being the good guy who helped the scorned ex wife and expected fans to eat it up as the final piece of his redemption arc. But now that it backfired so hard he knows it will be worse to leave her…

Him coaching Amanda in the back was sick.

I think he actually enjoys being the villain, he loves the attention. He saw the notoriety Sandoval got and knew it would leave to other opportunities (I.e. Traitors, House of Villains, etc). It’s not about Amanda at all, it’s the West show!

And he proved Dara’s point at the end with his conversation with Amanda. Basically telling her how to come off better on screen

"West is the best guy in the world until you fall in love with him" was prophetic!!!!!!

I think that both West & Amanda thought Kyle was hated more than Ciara was liked. They didn’t think it would blow up in their faces this much.

Ciara is right, it doesn’t even seem like West & Amanda like each other. This whole thing is too bizarre

he didn't want to go public with the Ananda situation. it was just supposed to be a sneaky link

I really wish Andy and the cast asked West why he believes his relationship with Amanda is different and what changed he’s going to make now that he’s in a relationship.

Dara ate that up with and left no crumbs! They’re lucky she got into the mix tbh

I wasn’t sure how i felt about Dara, the whole Ben thing felt disingenuous, but this got me on board for sure she’s so smart and well spoken it’s admirable

B🩷 :
It all lined up. Amanda became the best victim because of the way Kyle was treating her this season. And she was ready to set up Kyle this season and make him the perfect villain and we saw that. And then they broke up so it was perfect timing for him to weasel his 3 year crush on Batula. He also thought the audience would choose Amanda over Ciara and that’s why he thought that he would come out of this unscathed not knowing that people would care more about the betrayal of Amanda to Ciara Amanda moving on from Kyle with him her “knight in shining armour”

I think West wanted to keep his thing with Amanda a secret and didn’t think it would get to the point that it did…and now he kind of has to stick to the situation he’s currently in

Ugh crazy to realize his arc was SO contrived and insincere the whole time. He just did whatever he thought would win the audience back. He almost had us there for a sec 😒

meghancisar :
The only thing I honestly can think of is that he really thought people would root for him and Amanda because Kyle was such a bad partner, but he couldn’t recognize that the audience would turn on the two of them
