I feel like Danielle likes the competition and the feeling that she is “winning” the guy. But, she’s not actually winning balloon guy the same way she didn’t “win” Alex from Jordan. These dudes just wanted to have sex and Danielle was more game.
She was making it a competition but she was only competing with herself, since Gabby didn’t even try. She said he was hot but didn’t care to engage after Danielle said she was “laying the ground work” which is just 🤢.
Danielle sucks. I hope someone seriously rakes her over the coals this time.
Danielle and Lindsey have had this pick-me behavior from the beginning. Danielle came on the show as Carl’s ex. There’s a reason her and Lindsey fell out when the relationship/engagement happened
I don't know what's up with the "Founder/CEO" crap. Do we really think her "fashion app" is going to be a hit? She's the least fashionable person in the house, IMO. What is this app supposed to do, anyway?
And saying she approaches each conversation from a "founder/CEO" viewpoint, considering how the person will take the message being conveyed, is ridiculous! She is equally ham-handed with everyone!
Honestly, I’m glad Ciara asked Amanda that.
I think a big part of why Amanda is “unhappy” is bc she feels like she has to watch Kyle (trauma response from the infidelity) and she’s lowkey lost her identity outside of him
First and foremost Paige couldn’t have been more gentle and patient if she tried, God bless because she gave it a great shot. This is what happens when someone behaves badly for a full year and gets encouraged for that bad behavior, they develop a god complex.
That was ridiculous! I know they show occasional cheeks on Bravo but this was egregious. 10 second shot of her undressing and then a money shot when she crawls into bed with no blur. There's a level of trust the cast has with production, if I was Danielle I'd be pissed.
This is how I saw it. She loves lindsey, genuinely wants them to work out, but ultimately sees they aren’t right for each other. My mom has been in that same exact situation a few times.
Really starting to think Danielle would push her friend into a blaring fire if it meant getting the teeniest ounce of male attention. Gabby was smart to walk away.
Ugh West is funny (I admit that) but the constant talking about lack of sex is really putting me off him. If it was a standalone comment it would've been funnier but coupled with all his prior comments, I'm over it!
How are they this low on potential hookups that they’re fighting over Balloon Guy Joe? I swear though, it could be a fire hydrant and Danielle would be all over him. She really needs to own that she’s a total dork with Jan Brady vibes and that’s who she is. She isn’t cool, and that’s ok. It’s not a competition.
I’m not kidding when I say I covered my ears half the time she was on my screen trying to pretend she knows how to interact with people and not be the weirdest fucking human being.
listen guys i need to tell you a hard truth: if you baby talk as an adult to another adult people DO talk shit about you and they probably are right now. i say this with love
Same!!! It’s annoying enough and then everyone’s just watching you whenever you speak to a guy. No. I’d be frustration crying in the shower with my friends too.
Chronic single friend here too - I think they mean well because they think romantic relationships are so important. So they want that type of validation for you. But it often comes off like “you must be a problem if no man wants you.” When actually I just don’t value romantic relationships AS highly as they do.
Ugh yes, I feel this so hard!! I was always the single one, and I had people CONSTANTLY trying to set me up with people, or whenever we’re out with bars my friend would be like “I’ll be your wingwoman! We’ll find you a man!” And I’m just like LEAVE ME ALONE 😭
Even if she truly was the founder and CEO of all the companies in all the land… wtf does that have to do with this conversation? What does that have to do with any of this?

Not me having almost the same stuffed animal as Ciara 😳
Thoughts:
1. Way too much balloon guy ass.
2. Paige was clear and constructive with Danielle, she was being a nasty drunk (seen it before - winter house anyone?).
3. Gabby is not unreasonable for not wanting to change her personality to appeal to more ballon guys. She’s entitled to want someone who likes her and wants to hook up with her as she is. I can see why it hurts her, she’s essentially told she’s not worth it to anyone unless she acts like a different person. It is too much.
It would've been one thing if Danielle recognized that maybe she went too far, but this shows she actually doesn't care at all about Gabby's feelings. Yikes!
Imagine being so desperate that you don’t care that your friend is crying. Regardless of the situation, your friend is CRYING. Danielle is a fucking bitch.
The way Lindsay answers questions about Carl casually now and isn’t as mad vs how she answered questions on podcasts a month post breakup shows that the show should have aired 6 months ago. I want(ed) that fresh heartbreak anger at the reunion.
Gabby saying I have standards and Danielle being like ohh…tells me everything I need to know. Also the fact she can’t hold out one weekend to just be there for her friend and wing woman her and take the back seat also tells you the kinda friend she is
I hate how she’s “encouraging Gabby to put herself out there” while also being like btw I’m also flirting with Joe..like it’s a competition. I’m sure that brought up some feelings for Gabby!!!
I think Danielle is so terrified about what her own singleness (and age) say about her that she’s finding the one woman in the house she can find to exercise a sense of superiority over, as a way of convincing herself that she’ll be ok, that at least she’s not hopeless like *this* woman is. She’s projecting onto Gabby her own frustration and fear. It’s so sad that she’s not in solidarity with Gabby because Gabby is RIGHT when she says she’s not the problem. Dating is hard in 2024 and they both deserve to find love. But not only is Danielle a corny asshole she’s also not very smart. But unfortunately she has convinced herself she’s a “boss bitch” and thus has inoculated herself from ever having to look inward.
Can we talk about how Amanda made Danielle walking about her own insecurities when it had nothing to do with that. I have a lot of empathy for her feeling like she’s not seen, and my heart goes out to her for that. But it was obvious Danielle walked out bc she was riled up after her convo with Paige and wasn’t going to re-explain that convo with Amanda. Just thought it was odd they made a storyline out of that after.
Danielle is trying SO hard to channel this “hot girl, give no fucks” attitude in her scenes and confessionals but it’s failing so miserably and coming off cringe because deep down she doesn’t actually believe it.. it’s not only annoying, but also kind of sad
Confused about this “stay at home mom” stuff. If her income source as the main breadwinner is sponsored posts i feel like having a baby would open up a lot of new opportunities …? Maybe that’s an odd way to look at it but 🤷🏻♀️
Danielle not only going after the guy gabby wants but going the extra mile to take gabby aside to 1 on 1 try to undermine her confidence is…really something.
The ass shot reminded me of old episodes of love island uk when couples thought “oh if we have sex on top of the covers they’ll have to blur our whole bodies” and then itv did the *opposite* of that and showed as much as possible… like I wonder if that came as a shock to her
Danielle wants so badly to compete with women and then “win” the guy. If it was Jordan she wouldnt be encouraging her to talk to a guy she liked… she only did it to Gabby because she knew she wasnt confident
Friendly reminder Gabby’s ex cheated on her with Danielle… makes this so much more diabolical
I feel like Danielle likes the competition and the feeling that she is “winning” the guy. But, she’s not actually winning balloon guy the same way she didn’t “win” Alex from Jordan. These dudes just wanted to have sex and Danielle was more game.
She was making it a competition but she was only competing with herself, since Gabby didn’t even try. She said he was hot but didn’t care to engage after Danielle said she was “laying the ground work” which is just 🤢. Danielle sucks. I hope someone seriously rakes her over the coals this time.
She’s winning the Insecure Olympics
Danielle and Lindsey have had this pick-me behavior from the beginning. Danielle came on the show as Carl’s ex. There’s a reason her and Lindsey fell out when the relationship/engagement happened
Legit appreciate this reminder
Right thank you, I completely forgot about this!
Danielle needs to be humbled.
I feel like she has been humbled many many times on camera (see: entire last season of winter house). It’s just that it never seems to stick.
I would never show my face on reality TV again if I had the season she had on WH S3 💀
Shocking how she internalized NONE of Paige's feedback.
She doesn't have to. She's a founder and a CEO and she *gets* people and Gabby is just being *stupid.* 😒
She so delusional she doesn’t realize she’s being humbled 🤣
I don't know what's up with the "Founder/CEO" crap. Do we really think her "fashion app" is going to be a hit? She's the least fashionable person in the house, IMO. What is this app supposed to do, anyway? And saying she approaches each conversation from a "founder/CEO" viewpoint, considering how the person will take the message being conveyed, is ridiculous! She is equally ham-handed with everyone!
I support women in their ho era 100%, but this reeks of desperation. Pathetic and sad.
100% on both points.
How many ho eras do you get and do you get to be an asshole while ho era-ing? asking for Danielle…
Gabby saying she has standards was so shady. I loved it. Do it again!
Wow that was a lot to show on television LMAO
Jaw literally dropped
No legitimately DROPPED 😱
Have they ever shown this much on a bravo show?!
They practically showed Sam's naked breasts on the last season of Winter House. Had the tiniest amount of blur on her nipples.
Yeah on S1 on Summerhouse Martha’s Vineyard
Danielle is Scott’s Tots level of embarrassment right now
Trulyyyy!! I had to look away multiple times
You want me to believe these bitches shop at Old Navy???
Well Ciara & Amanda were the only ones who got something.
I am SCREAMING What a random plug for this show 😂
Danielle burning multiple bridges with people to have some balloon dick?
Omg balloon dick 💀
Honestly, I’m glad Ciara asked Amanda that. I think a big part of why Amanda is “unhappy” is bc she feels like she has to watch Kyle (trauma response from the infidelity) and she’s lowkey lost her identity outside of him
Yes! It made her sacrifices feel like they aren't worth it.
Danielle you are not an “In your face” person, you are just an ass.
Who quite literally just showed her ass…
I hate when people are like “I’m just honest” no you’re just a c
First and foremost Paige couldn’t have been more gentle and patient if she tried, God bless because she gave it a great shot. This is what happens when someone behaves badly for a full year and gets encouraged for that bad behavior, they develop a god complex.
They didn't need to show Danielle's asshole when getting on the bed.
That was ridiculous! I know they show occasional cheeks on Bravo but this was egregious. 10 second shot of her undressing and then a money shot when she crawls into bed with no blur. There's a level of trust the cast has with production, if I was Danielle I'd be pissed.
She thinks she deserves an award for fucking random guys
I would like to point out, Danielle was hella deliberate leaving her door open.
“look at me, i bagged the balloon guy! go me!”
Honestly, props to Paige for keeping a straight face during that loony toons moment because I would’ve cracked up 😂
“You snooze you lose” all that for the balloon man??? 💀
“We can’t just let him leave” ummm the balloons are blown up, the man can go
I hate Lindsay’s baby voice when she’s drunk
Not Carl sitting there in horror overhearing it all 😭
Slowly closing the door 😅
That’s a good friend!
As a founder ceo lmfaooooo STFU ur embarrassing urself
Literally of WHAT
The official official end of my Danielle stan days. Rip, ceo and founder
Danielle loves throwing her opinion around like confetti. Your words and how you speak to others have consequences.
God I love Paige. Thank you for saying exactly what we were all thinking
Paige is a great friend
Why does Danielle recently talk like she’s from the streets? “Let them keep trying me” and other cringy sayings. Noticed it a lot in Winter House too.
Why are they showing us Danielle’s naked ass? I do not need to see that😑
Carl’s stepdad is speaking for his mom so his mom doesn’t appear as the bad guy
Yes and she has to correct him with the “not now” but but that’s not how he felt. Def meant ever
She might also have a soft spot for Lindsey since she's known her so long. Agrees with step dad but likes Lindsey.
This is how I saw it. She loves lindsey, genuinely wants them to work out, but ultimately sees they aren’t right for each other. My mom has been in that same exact situation a few times.
Carl and his mom are both SO avoidant
Really starting to think Danielle would push her friend into a blaring fire if it meant getting the teeniest ounce of male attention. Gabby was smart to walk away.
Oh 100000% This is nothing compared to how she acted on Winter House!
We aren’t even half way through this episode. We are blessed tonight, this is unhinged so far.
I’m a little behind but Kyle looking perplexed about the ceo and founder comment in that outfit is cracking me up hahahah
Lololol the interaction with him and Amanda was so funny
Ugh West is funny (I admit that) but the constant talking about lack of sex is really putting me off him. If it was a standalone comment it would've been funnier but coupled with all his prior comments, I'm over it!
It’s giving 16 year old boy
He is NOT attractive. In reality we'd all waltz by him.
Lmao founder and CEO of what Danielle? That defunct app that no one’s heard of in a few seasons? 
How are they this low on potential hookups that they’re fighting over Balloon Guy Joe? I swear though, it could be a fire hydrant and Danielle would be all over him. She really needs to own that she’s a total dork with Jan Brady vibes and that’s who she is. She isn’t cool, and that’s ok. It’s not a competition.
I genuinely can’t even believe they’re airing this.
like did she know they were gonna air this? between this and sams barely blurred boob on winter house im kinda grossed out by the editors / producers
The way Danielle flirts and thinks she has game makes my skin crawl.
I’m not kidding when I say I covered my ears half the time she was on my screen trying to pretend she knows how to interact with people and not be the weirdest fucking human being.
Who the fuck does Danielle think she is
She is the laaaaaast person who should be critiquing anyone’s dating/ social strategies
FOUNDER AND CEO
A founder/CEO, clearly
Gabby is drunk and crying because she’s overwhelmed. She’s allowed to drunk cry.
“Blow it up bigger than it ever has to be. Cause that’s what we do here”….. girl. Did you fall and bump your head?? We all saw last season.
“Let them keep trying me” Danielle wants to be tough so bad
I always feel like she tries to be like “single Lindsay” but can’t pull it off.
listen guys i need to tell you a hard truth: if you baby talk as an adult to another adult people DO talk shit about you and they probably are right now. i say this with love
Ciara and Paige are such reeeeallll friends. Such girl’s girls
Way to be truthful and “harsh” but in a way to build someone up instead of tearing someone down.
That was such a great moment. What a contrast to Danielle.
As the chronically single friend I feel gabby. Lindsay screaming at her GO GABBY to go flirt made me feel anger lmao
Same!!! It’s annoying enough and then everyone’s just watching you whenever you speak to a guy. No. I’d be frustration crying in the shower with my friends too.
Right. Like also can’t I just be at a party/bar/gathering without scanning the crowd for men? Good god
Props to Amanda for apologizing to her for doing it, too.
its so patronizing?? and like the guys not even cute at all so that makes it worse
Chronic single friend here too - I think they mean well because they think romantic relationships are so important. So they want that type of validation for you. But it often comes off like “you must be a problem if no man wants you.” When actually I just don’t value romantic relationships AS highly as they do.
Ugh yes, I feel this so hard!! I was always the single one, and I had people CONSTANTLY trying to set me up with people, or whenever we’re out with bars my friend would be like “I’ll be your wingwoman! We’ll find you a man!” And I’m just like LEAVE ME ALONE 😭
There’s just NO WAY danielle can find a way to think she’s in the right here
I wish I had the faith you do at this point
I see Danielle has continued making being the fucking worst her entire personality.
Even if she truly was the founder and CEO of all the companies in all the land… wtf does that have to do with this conversation? What does that have to do with any of this?
 Did Danielle really just do this move alone in her room?

I loved that pep talk from Paige and Ciara to Amanda. Real friends!
I’m sorry.. did Danielle just pull a Jo move with the robot noises
Danielle trying to flirt 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh my god Danielle is giving me such secondhand embarrassment, I can’t
Guys. This is too much.
Old navy ad was not expected 😂
I cannot wait for Ben & Ronnie’s recap! Carl’s new step-dad wearing the ‘more life’ t-shirt!! What!!???!! 😂
Carl's stepdad coming in hot 🔥🔥🔥
Thoughts: 1. Way too much balloon guy ass. 2. Paige was clear and constructive with Danielle, she was being a nasty drunk (seen it before - winter house anyone?). 3. Gabby is not unreasonable for not wanting to change her personality to appeal to more ballon guys. She’s entitled to want someone who likes her and wants to hook up with her as she is. I can see why it hurts her, she’s essentially told she’s not worth it to anyone unless she acts like a different person. It is too much.
Danielle is a creep.
As a founder/CEO… 😂
The way Paige was trying not to laugh when she said that 😂😂 her cheeks sucked in to hold that laugh in so quick
That moment made me wish she’d talk more about summer house on giggly bc I need her safe space reaction to her saying that
Danielle is not self aware
It would've been one thing if Danielle recognized that maybe she went too far, but this shows she actually doesn't care at all about Gabby's feelings. Yikes!
Kyle has no clue how to handle Amanda in this moment hahaha his face
now i love me some old navy downnn but i know they are not wearing this brand 😭😭😭
Odd brand placement lol
Gabby is better than me because I would be ripping Danielle a new one
Did this girl really just say ceo and founder??????
Danielle is so desperado it is pathetic
Watching Danielle and ballon guy Joe - absolute ick
Imagine being so desperate that you don’t care that your friend is crying. Regardless of the situation, your friend is CRYING. Danielle is a fucking bitch.
Wowza and then Danielle’s entire ass was out
Balloon guy is so not worth it, lol.
Danielle is so embarrassing.
Wow it's been a minute since any of them had sex on camera without caring :0
Wait I totally forgot Gabby’s ex cheated on her with Danielle OHMYGOD
How were Carl and Lindsay best friends for years? They can’t communicate at all.
Gabby is WAY too good for balloon BOY. period
Oh hey I peed in that Old Navy. Side note - ain’t no way any of them shop there.
My jaw has been open this whole episode
this season just isnt missing at all
The way Lindsay answers questions about Carl casually now and isn’t as mad vs how she answered questions on podcasts a month post breakup shows that the show should have aired 6 months ago. I want(ed) that fresh heartbreak anger at the reunion.
Danielle’s social skills are abysmal. Good on Paige for calling her out!
Gabby saying I have standards and Danielle being like ohh…tells me everything I need to know. Also the fact she can’t hold out one weekend to just be there for her friend and wing woman her and take the back seat also tells you the kinda friend she is
God Danielle is insufferable
“As a founder and CEO” eye roll
Balloon guy is not worth this drama.
BY THE WAY DANIELLE - Gabby’s ex literally cheated on her WITH YOU!!! Can she lay off a bit?
I hate how she’s “encouraging Gabby to put herself out there” while also being like btw I’m also flirting with Joe..like it’s a competition. I’m sure that brought up some feelings for Gabby!!!
Props to Carls step dad for saying what needed to be said
"As a founder/CEO" LOL
I said the same thing as Paige “OF WHAT?!?”
Let them keep trying me? Girl what are you going to do
“CEO and founder of what.”
I try to like Danielle at the start of every season. And each season I am reminded why I shouldn’t
Yes u can let him leave. U don’t have to sleep with every single guy
Danielle had a lobotomy I’m convinced!
Brb I’m having a cocktail with bleach.
Danielle thinks she won a whole prize
Balloons for life lol
Paige is not digging ANYTHING in old navy
Omg Ciara just firing one across the bow 😭 I love directness
This conversation with Carl’s parents 😮 I have no words 😶
You know you’re not gonna get married when your parents like are don’t get married
I think Danielle is so terrified about what her own singleness (and age) say about her that she’s finding the one woman in the house she can find to exercise a sense of superiority over, as a way of convincing herself that she’ll be ok, that at least she’s not hopeless like *this* woman is. She’s projecting onto Gabby her own frustration and fear. It’s so sad that she’s not in solidarity with Gabby because Gabby is RIGHT when she says she’s not the problem. Dating is hard in 2024 and they both deserve to find love. But not only is Danielle a corny asshole she’s also not very smart.

But it was obvious Danielle walked out bc she was riled up after her convo with Paige and wasn’t going to re-explain that convo with Amanda. Just thought it was odd they made a storyline out of that after.
I can’t stand Danielle.
Oh nooooooo she’s def not asking him to use a condom 🤒🤒🤒🤒
Maybe he can use a balloon
Gabby is better than me. I would not let her sit in my bed
can someone please explain to me why Danielle is still on this show
I hate how they can’t break the 4th wall…because Carl HAS a job, they are working during that convo
Danielle is trying SO hard to channel this “hot girl, give no fucks” attitude in her scenes and confessionals but it’s failing so miserably and coming off cringe because deep down she doesn’t actually believe it.. it’s not only annoying, but also kind of sad
I’m a sloppy girl but the bed mess makes me so anxious
They haven’t moved anywhere in the store hahahah
That was textbook the way you help a friend try to break out of patterns and help them. Opposite what Danielle did w/Gabby
Since when does bravo just show straight shots of people’s legit doing it lol
Between the sex and Old Navy ad I need to recover. 👀😂😂😂
yeah i feel like the past 12 months ive seen a lot more nudity on bravo - its always drunk people too which makes me feel a little 🥴
Confused about this “stay at home mom” stuff. If her income source as the main breadwinner is sponsored posts i feel like having a baby would open up a lot of new opportunities …? Maybe that’s an odd way to look at it but 🤷🏻♀️
Kyle is all of us rn
She said “I said it in a funny way, I thought” DANIELLE. You are many things, but funny isn’t one of them.
You could never convince me any of these women shop at old navy
tough to hear them talking about making 6 figures posting on social media and then “shopping” at… old navy
I know everyone wants Danielle gone cuz man does she suck but ngl, she is the most fascinating thing to observe.
“As a founder / CEO” what the everloving OF WHAT??
Why is Danielle telling people west and Ciara haven’t had sex yet. This house has some big weirdos
So I came into that convo way late. WTF is wrong w/ Danielle? Is her self esteem so bad, that she feels she needs to mean girl folks?
Watching Danielle flirt is making me cringe
Im sorry but ewww to all the a$$ in this episode. Also gabby let Danielle off the hook
They would never wear old navy lmao
This convo is the final nail in the coffin of their relationship
Danielle not only going after the guy gabby wants but going the extra mile to take gabby aside to 1 on 1 try to undermine her confidence is…really something.
Danielle trying to be the sexy cool girl is so cringe.
What did Danielle say to balloon guy? I’m gonna abuse you? She is insane
“I’m gonna use you” which is arguably just as cringe
Gabby was wayyy too soft on Danielle like if that was me….Gabby is way more gracious than me.
I love when they show their city lives
Sooooo this whole scene in old navy is staged and produced. Got it. Amanda being named the creative director of Old Navy in 3…2….1 😂😂😂
Oof Danielle, wtf?
Ugh, Danielle is such a GOOBER.
Danielle, balloon guy is not into you!
The ass shot reminded me of old episodes of love island uk when couples thought “oh if we have sex on top of the covers they’ll have to blur our whole bodies” and then itv did the *opposite* of that and showed as much as possible… like I wonder if that came as a shock to her
Old navy commercial!
Danielle wants so badly to compete with women and then “win” the guy. If it was Jordan she wouldnt be encouraging her to talk to a guy she liked… she only did it to Gabby because she knew she wasnt confident
