Reality tv discourse mirrors political discourse in the volatile way people communicate with each other and the inability to find common ground is a symptom of how unwell our society is right now and a reflection of the precedence our current administration sets.

This documentary just felt...odd? I'm not saying that some valid concerns weren't presented, but most of the information we knew already from RHOSLC...and no nuance was provided at all for some very serious topics like incest, coercion, financial abuse and positions of power. What did you think? Let me know in the comments! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxylW_bumQo

The scene with Kusimaya and the village of people going silent around her felt eerily similar to when Koumba had the casino-themed party in Vegas with 100's of people from the hive and they each play their part of curating the illusion of a vibrant party and return to silence as soon as Koumba has left the suite and feels satiated from his party. Weird!

Thank you to the producers of Owning Manhattan who recognized that the audience wants to see the listings, the work conflict, the sales pitches and tense boardroom meetings NOT racist drama on Selling Sunset and Selling OC.

Trigger Warning: Sexual Abuse, Intimate Partner Violence, DVAs I finished this emotionally and spiritually draining documentary - two quotes kept ringing in my head: "That's how I got famous - from a tragedy". Of course this tragedy, where nine young people lost their lives, was just the start of the tragedies and fires that would follow Sean Combs, because he was responsible for each and every one of them. I believe there are a number of other individuals who are also responsible - or at the bare minimum complicit - for turning a blind eye, prioritizing their career, or relying on someone else to say something when they saw the harm that was being done. I'm not sure if 51 months is enough of a reckoning, to me personally, but as someone who believes in Hell....51 months is a small stone in the pond of eternity. One quick clarification for nuance: Not all men who experience childhood trauma become abusive. I wanted to highlight a statistical pattern shaped by socialization and power structures. Women experience childhood abuse at the same or higher rates but tend to internalize it differently. Pain often becomes self-blame or anxiety, instead of outward expressions of violence. Social consequences reinforce this because women/girls, especially BIack and brown children, who externalize aggression are punished early and severely by schools, adults, and the justice system.

Where was Andy? Or Keisha Knight Pullman from the Married at First Sight Aftershow? What got Stassi on the short list for hosting when she has no prior reference for how she mediates..? Additionally, I can't believe Hulu got away with no Trigger Warning's this entire season, when A LOT of it was heavy! Lastly, don't you think the next season should be filmed after the reunion so we get to see how everyone's dynamic is immediately following their "day of reckoning" if you will? 

Maybe it's impossible to recreate the magic of a show that thrived because they cast "nobody's" with big dreams, bad budgeting, benders, big breakups and barely any aspirations outside of making it to the bar to blow off steam from whatever chaos happened that week. Or maybe they could have done it if they cast her real full-time staff? What do you think?

DWTS celebrated 20 years of Carrie Ann's misogynoir by rewarding a perfect store to not 1, not 2, not 3, but FOUR white contestants. I can only chalk up Jordan Chiles not joining the perfect score club to racism. Ending with a brief recap on S2 of Squid Game the Challenge and all of the new info we got from KB's episode with AD AND Olandria's cover of Harper's Bazaar.

Maybe Rhonda and Josh should get together to b*tch about their partners - does that count as community?

Love is Blind has slowly turned into Love is BLAND, Love is BORING, Love is BLURRY, Love is BUSTED or any other negative adjectives that start with 'B' you can think of. Producers chase success and high ratings while failing to realize that real love stories and real representation is what would get them there.This episode, we take matters into our own hands by listening to the stories that we care about, and would have loved to see.

Meaghann needed a picture of her mom outside the wedding chapel with an order to NOT let her in because wtf was that type of "support"....?The experts better not PMO with their match between Brittany & Will...Pat and Rhonda will NOT make up for it, although I am enjoying them.I love the shift to Peacock and appreciate the shorter episodes, multiple episode drops, and getting right to the meat of it.

SPOILERS for the LIB "wedding" episode and potential spoilers for the Reunion! Trigger warning SA during Love Cabin segment. Everybody say it with me "season nine..waste of time" and if you say that about 1,000 more times it may properly convey how I feel after watching this finale at 5:30AM. The "experts" questions have been answered: love is not blind. Let's pack up the pods and this experiment.

I've watched ALL the Love is Blind S9 interviews and taken my notes so I can bring you all of the main points, in under an hour! Stay tuned for snippets from Jordan's interview on 'What's the Reality', Joe's GF on 'Reality Receipts' and Kait and Madison's interviews with the 'Love to See It' girls. My thoughts after all four interviews is this: Love is Blind would be way better if the show was released 6 months after completion, instead of a year and a half later, reunion shows are almost pointless at this point unless they are filmed weeks before they air, AND the honeymoon episodes should be AFTER the wedding's so we get to see an update on how the couple is settling into married life and if it's working.

And THIS is why I think the honeymoon's should be for the couples who say yes on wedding day only....this was a mess we could have had in Denver. Until they restructure the show, and cast people who are open in their dating preferences...the show is going to 'flop' on love and deliver on drama almost every time.
