I’m so glad you made this video. I first watched VPR in 2019, watched in over 6 weeks while on the treadmill. And James Kennedy had me INFURIATED. I was viscerally filled with anger watching him on the screen. Then his mother came on the show. Wow, did that change my perspective on James. Her examples of her good mothering were clothing her kids in Burberry and a how much they spent on schools and vacations. Shows the values James was raised with. And she would have the same emotional outbursts James is known for. Except she was a woman in her 5th decade and James was 23. No wonder he never learned any emotional regulation. As for his 3 type, I was thinking during this season about James and his DJ career. People don’t take it very seriously, but James had been working on his DJing longer than anyone else on the show has been pursuing any of their passions or projects. The show started with the cast working at Sur while they pursued their dreams and James is the only one to make that happen.
I got a lot of empathy for James watching these clips of him :( he was growing on me before, but this video made me even more empathetic towards him. He’s the definition of “hurt-people hurt people”
I really like your analysis of the VPR crew. As far as James goes, he's not the number 1 guy. Too volatile. I feel like Kristen really broke James' heart. I think a lot of his behavior on the show is just an f u to her. As far as his outbursts, being an adult raised by an alcoholic messes you up. People don't understand the deep psychological abuse and neglect that a kid goes through when 1 or both of their parents is always intoxicated. They're never present for you so you will do ANYTHING to get their attention. I feel for James because of this but he really needs to work on himself vs keeping up appearances.
I don’t think Kristen made that much of an impact on him. He dated her to get on the show, she dated him to move on from Sandoval. They both entered with the wrong intentions so it’s unsurprising it ended badly. I do agree that his parents did a number on him. As someone with an alcoholic parent, James screams of a kid trying to get his parents attention. And James’s poor emotional regulation comes straight from his parents. You don’t need to regulate your emotions yourself - that’s what’s the booze is for!
I've always had a soft spot for James! He can be such an asshole sometimes but he's hilarious. I've always thought that his body-shaming/putting-others-down routine is just an outer manifestation of the relationship he has with himself. He does seem like a delicate guy deep inside. I wish him and Allie the best :)
Omg! That’s so sweet I just looked it up on IMDB. You are the one that applied your years of study and practice, watched all the clips, and brought it all together. Great video as always ❤
Can someone's type change over time? When I've tried taking the quiz to find out my type, it was hard to answer many of the questions based on my entire life because I was so different when I was younger. I ended up as a 5, but that's based on how I've been for the last 15-ish years.
In the Enneagram world we believe that someone is born with their type and carrie’s it their whole life (with varying levels of health!! However, there are three types that make up your Tritype/Trifix. So maybe the other numbers are a part of your Tritype and that’s what you’re picking up on?
Do you feel like DJ James Kennedy has become the #1 guy in the group? And do you feel like he has grown on you throughout the seasons?!
I think he's the most entertaining by far lol
I love your videos !
Thank you so much 🥲🥲🥲

That is sooo true!!! His parents did some damage for SURE.
