Is Amanda using West and not the other way around

After night two of this way to drawn out reunion I came to the conclusion that everyone in the cast has it backwards.

West is already on Summer House. He didn’t need Amanda to get on the show, get screen time, or become known to viewers. The idea that he’s dating Amanda to somehow gain get clout feels backwards.

Amanda mentioned last night that she was done with Kyle on Jan 1. This is around the time that filming for In the City would’ve wrapped and been in post production. She obviously realized her place on that show was in jeopardy and since bravo is moving the og cast off summer house she needed a way to stick around.

Enter West, supportive friend, but also willing rube. Her dating West is a performance to keep her on summer house.

*also she kinda broke the 4th wall and they left it in when she said she decided to divorce Kyle and immediately called bravo production so they could draft the statement. Show you that these cast members don’t do anything without the bosses approval or input.
