They're real people, creating real friendships

The last few cast additions for our favorite Bravo series have been lackluster, to say the least. (We’re thinking Real Housewives of Beverly Hill’s Annemarie Wiley and Summer House‘s own one-season wonder Chris Leoni.) Or, in recent years, we’ve seen a slew of narcissists join Bravo with the ulterior motive of getting famous and rich — quick! (We’re mainly looking at you, Real Housewives of Salt Lake City‘s Jen Shah.)
But West and Jesse? These are two whole humans, people with whom we could imagine playing recreational kickball by the East Side River. These are two guys with things beyond “reality TV storylines” going on in their lives. Jesse has shared his fears about his testicular cancer returning ahead of his five-year check-up. The man isn’t holding back. He’s let us in on his deepest anxieties while his new buddy West has stepped up to help him through it.
West, too, has shared his authentic life, talking about being laid off and wanting to be close to Ciara. These are just two imperfect guys who likely were not Bravo-fanatics before joining the series, which already makes them likable. (Yes, the bar is that low.)
They are the best! Love them both, this season has been really good and nice everyone,except Carl and Lindsey 🤭getting along! So refreshing!!!
Wes yes, Jesse no. Jesse was cringeworthy in the first half of the season and depressing in the second half.
You’re right and I love them both. I just don’t want Wes to disappoint us by hurting Ciara.
You are right about these two, they are a breath of fresh air but I’m so tired of Carl and Kyle. While I’ve never been overly fond of Lindsay, Carl has been setting her up to take the fall for the breakup and Kyle is just a selfish child
This season has been the best for sure.
I liked West from the start, and Jesse I like him a lot now.
Everyone is so concerned about West hurting Ciara, but what about her hurting him? She is gorgeous, but I feel like she just likes having him to play with, and she is leading him on.
She slept with disgusting Austin without there being anything like what has happened with West. Am I missing something?
