Wow I'm actually upset this rumor mill is starting. Like FIRST OF ALL you don't have to be best friends with your coworkers. And secondly most of his work happens off camera / behind the scenes, I refuse to believe that there was *THAT* negative of impact on the cast. Esp with him and Karamo being close.

Also this news inspired me to watch an EP last night and the Lambda frat makeover was insane (and the kids were likable) - I wanted to screencap his before/afters to reply to that comment in the announcement post about Bobby's work having little impact to the audience.

tbf his facet seems the most involved. I’ve only seen the show a few times but this man is a one person HGTV and meanwhile the other tasks seem to be “what other foods does a tomato go with” and “there are more pants than gray sweats and shapeless jeans: the mini-series”. I’d be tired and resentful too lol.

But, again disclaimer, ONTD doesn’t read and this member saw 3 episodes max pre pandemic so drag me if I’m wrong. I have a minimal idea of what I’m talking about

(ps: it’s lovely to see you on this site and still commenting! Always look forward to your take!)

People don’t need to be besties at work and don’t need to become “family”. I really hope he didn’t lose his job just because he lost some kind popularity contest (I can’t really believe he wasn’t pulling his weight cos his contribution or at least the contribution attributed to him has always looked the most tbh).

I’m a workplace Bobby lol. I do an immaculate job and contribute a huge portion to my teams success. I clock out no later than 15 minutes max after my shift ends (I work with cancer patients so I prefer to wrap up what I’m working on for them) and my coworkers haven’t seen me off the clock in literal years lol. 8 hours enduring their minimal efforts is plenty for me!

I’m sure I’d vibe with them in other places / experiences but…. I have a really busy and rewarding life off the clock and I graciously let them annoy me plenty daily!!!! If you wanna annoy me past the 8th hour, pay me extra 🤷‍♂️

Bobby had to do a tonne of work on each project so I wouldn't be surprised if he was tired of it.

I didn’t even know there were 8 seasons of this show. After Karamo politely excused that Trump voter in season 1 or 2, I was out. But, Bobby was my favorite of the bunch for as long I watched it.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t get along with them - esp JVN and Antoni who are so loud with their personalities. So? Who gives a damn that they weren’t besties? I hope that he actually chose to leave.

Karamo was also cordial with Jake Tapper(?) on his season of Dancing with the stars and got all huffy when people came for him about it, he's a wierdo

Welp, here we go. I knew there would be drama, or at least made up drama.

The 'pulling their weight' has to be BS though because he redesigned a new building every episode, like? What does Karamo do (and I say this as a social worker).

Sorry for the accidental dislike before I fixed it!

I fully agree as a former social worker. Karamo has been so shady over the years....

lol no worries, I never see reactions because I am on the old layout on my computer!

And yep, super shady!
