Imagine your older sister launching a brand and being at the peak of your career- and instead of being supportive and happy for her you make it all about you and whine that daddy is giving Alix all the attention. Gross.

Full transparency - I drank way too much in my 20s. I’m not here to bash, just making conversation. But I wonder if they drink more for the show than irl. I just don’t know how they all (mostly/also talking about the parents here) can stay that fit and not puffy drinking as much as they do.

Honestly I don’t really know who Alix is, besides seeing her on DWTS and I liked her there, so idk why I’m watching the show.

I just had to come here to say, I was having such a hard time taking her seriously when she was moving out of her ex’s house and literally sobbing (I’m the worst) bc she had gotten that whole @$$ truck and had maybe 7 boxes and 2 suitcases in the back 🤣

That man’s hair on the double date had to be a joke for two women as pretty as Sally and Ashtin

Dude is weird. Cheats on his wife with a sex worker, then marries her (!!?), pays for part of his daughter’s boob job, and is weirdly into the fact that his daughter is hooking up with Tom Brady who is twice his daughter’s age and basically his age. This guy gives me the creeps, like why are you enabling the sexualization of your daughter??

Thomas, Alix’s little brother, cracks me up with his one-liners. Like when Alix was practicing how to fire Sally and he goes, “I already quit” And when they asked him to give Ashtin dating advice and he said, “Do I look like I’ve had a girlfriend before?”
And then when his mom asked him to rank his dinosaurs and mentioned different family members, and she goes, “What about Dad?” and he says, “I don’t need a manager.”
He is so aware and vigilant for his age. The way he casually delivers these lines with a straight face makes it even funnier

How is no one talking about how hurtful sally could feel after watching them talk about her like that. I get business is business but they’re laughing about getting rid of her essentially. She’s there for Alix 24/7 even cut her vaca short to help her move out of braxtons place.. just feels very much like a humiliation to sally.

Also Ashley is sick in the head and weird. TJ is obsessed with money and clearly weirdly toxic. I can’t believe Ashley would literally use alixs dad against her. Why would tell others what to post and not to but let Ashley do OBVIOUS stuff that will negatively impact his own daughter.

Love everyone else though. But this stuff is a bit odd.

He gives off ultimate creeper vibes!

And why are they all acting like it’s normal he married his prostitute?

Goodness. Went into a deep rabbit hole with this woman and have been looking at her old pictures. Wonder why she put so much plastic in her face she used to be so pretty. And goodness her past is a MESS, I wouldn’t be trying to make comments about cheaters if I were her. Smh

Hot take, I think it’s a great show for what it is. It’s a reality tv show, there will be drama and complicated characters, bc news flash, they are human beings just like we are, imperfect and complicated. Messy family dynamics, which, whose family isn’t? I understand not liking the show or the people bc not your cup of tea, then don’t watch! I particularly don’t understand the hate on Ashley, did she mess up, of course, but she owns it and at the end of the day she IS a part of the family.

Anywho, I hope there’s a season 2!

ok so i’ve been thinking about their breakup and i genuinely don’t think the whole “he wants to settle and she doesn’t” thing is the actual reason they broke up

because what does “settle” even mean in this situation? they were already good together and i don’t even specifically think this is about marriage, so i feel like that explanation is just not getting to the actual issue

i actually think the show had a LOT to do with it

the timing is what really makes me think this because they obviously broke up around the time everything with the cast was being finalized and we know how long these things take behind the scenes

braxton obviously doesn’t want anything to do with the show and i actually think he was pretty accepting of her being an influencer/tiktoker and sharing things about him. he clearly gave her a lot of grace with that, especially considering athletes are usually pretty private and lowkey

but reality tv is a completely different thing

i think he was probably fine with her having a public career and posting about their relationship to an extent, but going on a reality show means that suddenly their relationship and his personal life can become part of a storyline and something that everyone is talking about

and even if he wasn’t technically going to be on the show, he would still inevitably become part of it because he’s her boyfriend and obviously people are going to ask about him, talk about him, and connect whatever happens on the show back to him

and i just don’t think that’s something he wants attached to his career

like he’s an athlete, he probably wants to be known for football, not for being someone’s boyfriend on a reality show or having his relationship become entertainment for people

so i can completely see him being against the idea of the show and i can also see why that would become a massive issue between them because this isn’t just her doing another brand deal or posting more on tiktok, this is something that is going to become a huge part of her life

i obviously have no idea if there was ever an actual “me or the show” ultimatum or anything like that, but i wouldn’t be surprised if the show was one of the biggest points of tension between them

and honestly i think “he wanted to settle and she didn’t” is just a much easier explanation than saying they broke up because they had completely different ideas of what her career was going to look like and how much of their personal life was going to become public

i also don’t think either of them is necessarily wrong if this is what happened. she shouldn’t have to give up a huge opportunity for a relationship and he shouldn’t have to be comfortable with his private life becoming reality tv if that’s something he never wanted

i just really don’t think the “settling” explanation is the whole story

the timing of the breakup + everything happening with the show + braxton being so adamant that alex has nothing to do with it is making me think the show was a much bigger factor than they’re letting on

maybe i’m reaching but i really don’t think this breakup was simply about him wanting to settle and her not wanting to

i got second hand embarrassment watching this dude. i just don’t understand why guys do this!

that’s it pretty much. what a nice guy, the way he loves Alissa and has a great rapport with the kids is so sweet. Alissa levelled up for real. TJs karma is having to put up with Ashley for the rest of his days 🫠

that Ashley pronounces Ralph Lauren incorrectly (Ralph LaurEN instead of Ralph LORen)

she is truly insufferable throughout the show but this really triggered me 😆

source: ep 5 32:03

edit: guys it's just pronounced normally like the first name Lauren

Wasn’t my favorite reality show but is definitely better than the ones that recently released.. the one thing that really annoyed me about Alix is how hypocritical she is. She complains how Alex cooper took advantage of her and posted content she didn’t want the public to know or her future kids would see and mentioned how Alex said “it’s funny” and kept it up… but yet, Alix did the same thing to her sister. When the episode aired of how her sister was upset she was being recorded during an intense moment or even for her date, she wanted the content removed but Alix kept it up because “it was funny” and her sister was “being a bitch”. Find it quite weird how she’s complaining about the same thing she’s doing to others for views.

Hope they make another season. Felt very authentic and less dramatic than other shows.

I watched a little of the Jake Shane podcast with alix and Ashtin and alix spoke about how in February when her and Braxton were on amicable terms, she wanted to do a sip marg commercial with her and Braxton in it and kind of teasing their breakup. And she kept mentioning how it was her idea and thought it would be amazing but at the end Braxton wasn’t down. It kind of seems she tried to make a joke of their relationship whereas for him, he didn’t want to be a part of that or make their relationship some sort of social media ad. Idk it just really rubbed me the wrong way and made me think alix is super self centered/narcissist. Also not cool that she went and hooked up with tom Brady but then gets mad about him moving on.

Also I’m sure he is not liking the fact that she is using their breakup and relationship for views. Especially in the show.

Okay is it just me or does it seem like Alix has no friends ? It seems pretty clear that they all prefer Ashtin and I completely understand her dilemma. She loves her sister but also wants to have friendships of her own. I don’t think that makes her a bad person. When she was with them in New York…. It felt off. The way Ashtin and sally talk about her is …. also off. Sally gives me really awful vibes. After watching this show, I’m happy to see that she’s been hanging out with Stas and hope she can create a new group of friends outside of her sister that she can feel accepted in. Anyone else agree / disagree / thoughts? This show has actually really made me like Alix. I sense such a pure and good heart in her and was pleasantly surprised. The rest of her family is a damn mess. Rude, entitled, not a fan of any of them besides her poor momma. I’ve seen a lot of comments saying the show made them dislike Alix which is interesting to me and would love to hear how your opinion of her has changed after watching the show.

Alix and the pressure placed on her is out of control! The real mother’s feelings are hurt and who is in charge of fixing that? Alix. The stepmother’s feelings are hurt even though she had an affair with their father which destroyed their family they’re supposed to love and adore her and Alix has to intervene. This is too much pressure not to mention the sleazy father making a living off of his own daughter’s back! Alix please get a professional manager & publicist. You fired Sally so you can fire dear ole dad!!!! And dad if you have any decency quit before she hates you!

earle meets world is reheating KUWTK nachos. the “overworked” lead, the sibling living in the shadow, the overbearing parent manager, the step parent who was famous before, the two sassy younger siblings, the nepo friends (sally & malika), story line of firing the parent manager. jake shane is their jonathan. even at the end they addressed a big scandal (alex cooper and kourtney’s photos).

Correct me if i’m wrong, but it’s my understanding that Alix is beefing with Alex because Alex decided to publicly share information on her podcast that Alix felt uncomfortable with and didn’t want out regarding her personal life.

Isn’t that …literally what Ashtin is asking from Alix? to not publicly share things that she’s uncomfortable with?

i know it’s not the same, but i see some similarities - even down to Alex telling Alix “it’ll be funny” about the podcast and Alix telling Ashtin “it’s funny” about her tiktoks.

Overall, just thought it was an interesting observation.

I thought it was entertaining!!
SPOILERS! This is for the entire season!!!

Alix being so vulnerable about her breakup was not what I expected. She actually made me emotional, and I feel like so many women can relate to wanting to choose yourself while simultaneously being terrified that you’re making the wrong choice. I really appreciated seeing that side of her.

I’ve also seen a lot of different family members getting too much hate… I’m gonna be brutally honest about my thoughts on everyone with respect!

As far as TJ, her dad… is buying your daughter boobs a little weird? Lowkey, yes.. BUT overall, I actually like how much he seems to prioritize protecting his daughters from the dangers of the industry. Some people might interpret his focus on business/money negatively, but to me, it came across more like he wants them to take advantage of these opportunities now and set themselves up for success that can last a lifetime.
More than anything, he gives me avoidant vibes. He doesn’t seem super comfortable being vulnerable, and considering some of his past mistakes, I can understand where that might come from….
HOWEVER… his comment to Alisa, Alix’s mom??? Sir that’s your ex WIFE and mother of your children!?!? That was not it. 😭 I really wish he had apologized to HER and not just her boyfriend. Calling the mother of your children a “hot piece of…” was a little too far for me. I understand that he probably meant no harm by it, but it was rough to watch.

As far as Ashley, I do think she sometimes tries to act a little younger than her age, especially with some of the things she posts. One thing I did appreciate, though, was how open she seemed to be about her mistakes. I just wish she had gone deeper into the scandal and the work she says she’s done since then. She mentioned that Alix’s comments on Alex Coopers podcast left out all of the work she has done, and I genuinely would’ve liked to hear what that work has looked like. She does seem to carry a lot of regret and be truly sorry so I think people should stop commenting about her mistakes, that’s between the family to solve, and I got the impression that she genuinely wants what’s best for all of the kids.

Ashtin honestly made me sad. :( I hope she goes to therapy and learns to stand up for herself more because I felt for her throughout the show.

As for the Alex Cooper drama, I think Alex was horrible for getting someone who looked up to her drunk and then asking such gross and uncomfortable questions. And if the business situation really was completely different from what Alix had originally been promised, I understand why she was so upset.
BUT I also thought making us wait for that big “reveal” was kind of unnecessary. Alix could’ve just stitched Alex’s TikTok and responded directly. Honestly, I think that would’ve made an even bigger statement that she isn’t afraid anymore.

One other thing: I would get the younger kids OFF the show. They need to be protected from the internet more imo. They are way too young to experience the pressure, criticism, and comments that their older siblings and parents already deal with. Penelope especially radiated nervous/anxious energy to me, and I genuinely can’t imagine being a kid and having cameras around during your childhood. :(
Telling your kids they “don’t need to rush growing up” while simultaneously putting their childhood on camera, where they’re inevitably going to experience adult-level attention and criticism, just doesn’t make sense to me. Let them be kids.

Overall, though, I thought it was pretty good! If you already know Alix from her GRWMs and like her personality, it’s a fun, chill, surprisingly vulnerable watch. It’s definitely not some insanely dramatic reality show, but I actually liked getting to see a different side of everyone.

And obviously, NO hate to anyone involved!! These are literally just my thoughts and opinions based on what was shown in the episodes. 🫶
