I think they left the Candiace thing in because ultimately, it worked in her favor. Production probably cut certain things out not to embarrass the women. Also, Candiace said she felt bad for Mia after Nicki went in. There had to have been some major things left out due to editing because both Candiace and Karen said Nicki tore into Gizelle. She definitely had her favorites and was biased. Nicki does have entertainment value in certain forums although I don't find her to be a good/moral person at all. Probably like a lot of other people, I was able to compartmentalize and put to the side her nasty ways to enjoy what she brought to the table. Overall, I found Nicki entertaining and it definitely was a moment to have her host the 4th part, but it was problematic in a lot of ways too. I don’t think she’s ugly but her beauty definitely declined. I didn’t realize how much of Gizelle’s beauty has declined since the earlier seasons. That’s not how it works and we saw that last season. Giselle does this to everyone yet she thinks her family should be untouched. I understand why Wendy went off on anyone who brought that rumor onto the show. That situation was based on miscommunication. However, I understand how Wendy thought Robyn was playing dumb. I will say, I do believe Robyn didn’t know what rumor Ashley hit Wendy with on their trip. Wendy did a great job at holding them accountable this season. The GEB I don’t see the obsession with wanting to be so involved with them. I can’t imagine Askala would be back as well- she was non-existent. I hope her mom is well and she stays sober! It’s nice to see some growth and to see a friendship isn’t completely over and they could possibly work it out. Unpopular opinion possibly- I liked how Candi came to Ashley’s defense when Nikki came at her. I liked Karen and Giselle talking through their issues then came together hugging it out. I hope she continues to have Chris’ back against her mom. I’m glad Nikki called Candi out about sticking up for Chris when it comes to her mother’s bs. This reason he was a mess and then getting upset over the questions Candi was asked. Was he trying to playing the part of what he’s been being accused of- no job & broke? He seemed off and drunk from the jump! From all of the other reunions, he was always respectful and somewhat put together. I don’t understand what was up with Chris.
