This relationship still seems weird to me. Can‘t really explain why.

Why does everybody here hate them being together? They are grown ass adults. Yes, he has cheated, yes she is younger. But they are both ADULTS. She's 47 and he is 60, people act like he is robbing the cradle, she's almost 50! This isn't a huge age gap, I just don't get the hate. Get a life!

I hate them being together because I have been a fan of Brooke since her first season on Top Chef and I just thought she had higher standards than to date Bobby. I understand that in person he might be charming, but he gives me the ick and nothing about his personal life indicates my vibes are off.

And? What’s your point? They asked a question and I answered it. If you didn’t also have parasocial relationships you wouldn’t be here either. 😅

My point is that's a very parasocial reason to hate someone else's relationship lmao

I don’t have real life friends to judge. I need to live vicariously through the people on my TV. 😂
