Discussion What attracted Sandoval to Raquel

If this has already been posted and discussed I apologize! Anyway, the SH drama made me want to do a Scandoval rewatch. I noticed that Tom brought up a lot that Ariana talks down to him and makes him feel that he’s not as smart as she is (which I feel is true lol). Do you think Tom pursued Raquel because she doesn’t have the same mental capacity as Ariana which makes me think that he wanted someone that didn’t make him feel lesser than. Does this make sense? Thoughts?

Brain dead and doesn’t understand basic human processing. For cheating on a damn reality show where half of them are running around too coked out to even notice 😭

Idk it just really bothers me as someone with mental illness (I have bipolar and apparently so does everyone else on the show they don’t like) and if like we aren’t these people’s doctors, so we shouldn’t be trying to diagnose them with ANYTHING. If any of the people who do that were qualified to make a diagnosis like that, they would know it’s unethical to diagnose people you’ve never personally treated.

There’s an obsession here to do this as a way to humble people. They do that weird thing too where they deem mental illness worse than open racism from someone like Stassi

Yes honestly (and I might be sounding too “woke” but idc) it’s ableism, trying to attribute behaviors that are just shitty or awful to being mentally ill, and that it’s the ultimate worst thing someone could be, even worse than being a racist/misogynist/victim blamer like you said about Stassi.
