Chapter 3: What are the details about Madison's appearance on the show?
wasn't it?
None of the sisters wanted to fulfill that.
To fill the role. The mom thought she was going to. I don't understand why Mary had to marry the husband.
I don't know.
It seems like it gave her a beautiful life though. 100% and she's still happily married to Robert Sr. today.
Also, I just want to say I think the Potomac cast is the hottest collective group of housewives.
Period.
I think they're all hot but Potomac is hot. They have the most I woulds.
Yeah. That statement.

Chapter 4: How does Joe's behavior affect the dynamics in the show?
Record everything.
So if I were to ever go missing, I feel like you have all the answers that you need.
If you go missing, I will too because I do the same exact thing.
So, OK, here's here's the textbook definition of Internet cookies. Internet cookies are small text files that websites store on your device to remember information about you and your browsing activity, enabling personalized experiences, i.e. the government's tracking you and saved login details, shopping cart items, site preferences and targeted content.
So it's basically how like when you're on Instagram and you're like, how do they get these fucking targeted activities? It's because they're tracking you.
Yeah. Yeah. I don't mind that actually. Cause sometimes I'm like, yeah, I do want this.
Yeah. Sometimes I'm like, Oh my God, thank you. I literally was just thinking about this.
No one texts to Leah or my wife anymore.
It's like you don't mind it until Jeff Bezos shows up at your house being like, hey, I saw that you looked up halitosis causes. Are you okay? Yeah.

Chapter 5: What insights did Madison gain about herself as a dater?
Do you ladies like boxers on men?
Yeah. The shorts. Boxers?
Not the boxer briefs. I think I prefer them. Wasn't Joe wearing boxers? Is he a boxer guy? I don't feel like there's a lot of...
bunching.
They're like shorts.
I do like boxers. I love boxers. I like a boy butt. I've said it a number of times.

Chapter 6: What are the ladies' preferences regarding boxers on men?
Boxers don't accentuate the butt a little bit.
The boxer briefs are like the tight Calvin Klein ones. Maybe the shorts ones. I think it's the compression ones. The plaid shorts. He was wearing boxer shorts.
Is that what he wore normally? In that scene where he was calling you woman. I think they were like I thought that was crazy though. When he was like woman, like, okay.
Yeah. I think he was actually still wearing his swim trunks.
Yeah.
Okay. He must have been really hammered then.
Are you surprised or not by Edmund's personality?
I, you know, it's funny because when we were in the pods, like being in the lounge, we would hear Edmund literally like yelling Calabria, like from the other side. So I feel like I kind of had like a taste of the Edmund, you know, like what he was very eccentric. Yeah. I think I was a little bit surprised, you know, just at the pool party.
Like there was a few moments that I was kind of like, oh, you're having very emotional reactions or, you know, you're very intense. I think that's a good way to describe Edmond is very intense.

Chapter 7: How did Joe's behavior affect his relationship with Madison?
But did you, back to the ending of episode six, I think a lot of people are divided by Edmund's reaction. Obviously, when we're talking about sex and things like that, it's a heightened topic. And I think people are just more keen on reading reactions and what people are saying. But from your perspective... putting yourself in Calibra's shoes. How did you see how Edmund handled that situation?
How did you read his tears? Some people found it manipulative. Other, you know, me, not so much, but I'm curious about your perspective.
Well, I first want to say I think KB handled that situation with such grace. I personally would have been very angry if somebody was pressuring me to have sex. As far as Edmund's reaction, you know, I think something that's important to know is, you know, he grew up in foster care. He speaks openly about that. And I think that when you have an upbringing like that,
it lends itself to developmental differences.
Chapter 8: What are the key takeaways from the Real Housewives discussions?
And I think that he had to kind of learn through foster care, I get attention when I act out. I get love when I act a certain way. Of course, these are just my thoughts. I haven't spoken to Edmund directly. So I think that what you're seeing is he's having an emotional reaction to something and maybe doesn't know exactly where to place that and how to appropriately communicate it. Wow.
When you're in the pods, because we saw, I think it was Sparkle Megan, was it Ryan? Is that the guy she didn't pick? Mike. Mike. They asked each other what they're wearing in one scene. And if I'm in the pods, I would ask that every time because I just feel like someone's style, how they dress themselves, how they carry themselves matters to me. Did you ask questions like that?
And what was some of the common questions that you asked the people you dated to try to like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I'm sure you're thinking of a lot of questions. Like, I can't ask this. I don't want to seem superficial. But how do I ask questions that give me insight into who they are?
Well, you know, I really, I wanted insight into the character. I wasn't so much focused on like, what are you wearing? What are you thinking? But we absolutely, Joe and I had many, many times like, oh, like, what are you wearing today? You know, and we'd kind of like giggle and laugh about it because he's like explaining his outfit. I'm like, that just sounds like such a man outfit.
Like, I can't even... I can't even comprehend what that looks like. So we did talk a lot about what we were wearing. We asked those questions. Questions that I asked personally, I asked a lot of times, do you know your attachment style? That was something that I was very interested in because I am a little bit more of a disorganized attachment. So I do not do well with avoidant attachment.
So I would definitely kind of ask questions like that. I don't know actually what his is. Honestly, I don't think he had done the testing. So he wasn't sure what his was. Through my experience, I would actually say he might be more disorganized like me where it's kind of a mix of avoidant anxious.
I know Joe's getting a lot of heat and deservedly so. That being said, just for the sake of grace, what are some of the qualities that maybe people didn't get to see from Joe that you did that explained why you fell for this man?
Yeah. In the pods, he was so adamant about choosing me. I mean, he was so sure of me. And I think that's a really great quality is that he was so loyal. He was so gung-ho, committed. I mean, literally, I was the one being like, no, I think you should still see out your other connections because I'm still seeing my other connections out.
I literally went to proposal day with somebody else because I was still trying to see, is this for... I wanted to be sure.
