Honey Balenciaga was in the latest Lady Gaga music video: Here's a behind-the-scenes video where Honey is featured/interviewed a couple times:

The earlier seasons definitely did not show enough of the pods. But this season had wayyy too much of the pods. Or at least way too much of the same people in the pods. I don't need to see fake affirmations from the same 5 - 7 people over and over again. There has to be a happy medium between the 2 - 3 episode arc in the earlier seasons and the 6 episode slog that this season was. Maybe what they could do is keep the 5 - 6 pod episodes but show us more people. Every season always has more people in the pods who end up becoming background characters. It would be cool if the show acknowledged some of those participants' journeys. Even if it's just a 10 second talking head saying "I talked to everyone, didn't like anyone, bye!" Also, the crowds in the women's and men's quarters really thinned out towards the end. I guess if someone no longer has any connections, they drop off. It would be fun if the show had a counter showing the remaining number of women and men left. It sounds like Taylor's Instagram was private before the show (thus her receiving a follower request). I'm guessing she probably knew all or most of her followers. She mentioned that she had mutual friends with the follower request in question. So this wasn't some obviously rando request that you hit ignore immediately. She may have spent a good amount of time on his profile trying to figure if she had actually met him or not. Sounds like she granted the request (maybe due to the mutual friends?). So I think it's possible that she would remember his profile. On a side note: Taylor looks so much like Ashley Mitchell from The Challenge . I wonder if they're related. But what if a season does neither? Can we call it boring then? Personally, I would rather have drama over love connections (this is reality TV after all). But if one or two genuine love connections happens along the way, that is nice too. Overall, not the strongest start to a LIB season so far (as mentioned several times before). I think the lack of diversity in the participants they chose to focus on has hurt this season. I can tell the women apart but all of the white men with the short brown hair look identical to me. I seriously cannot tell them apart. It didn't help that so many had similar back stories too (struggled in school, kinda religious, etc). Fingers-crossed for more drama in the second half!

Yasss! Love that Boston Rob Dan Gheesling'ed himself. Note to future Traitors contestants coming from the Big Brother / Survivor world: the Traitors is a completely different game and your strategies from BB and Survivor don't work here. And that rule is multiplied by 10 if there are other "gamer" type contestants who are faithfuls. With this show, you need to "murder" randomly and vote with the group at banishment. Or in other words, be more like Cirie. Side note: the fashion in this episode was fabulous. I don't how they do it but Alan's outfits get better with each season. Whoever is in charge of wardrobe deserves a raise. Double side note: Alan is just overall a perfect host for this show. I love him so much.

TITLE*: Mo CATEGORY*: Comedy NETWORK: Netflix RELEASE DATE: Season 1 released back in 2022. Season 2 released on January 30, 2025. SYNOPSIS: Trailer:

Except Derrick gave this exact argument to that Effron guy after the round table. I know that guy loves Boston Rob but hopefully he wants to win in the end too? If Boston Rob really wants to throw the scent off himself, he should murder someone who's obviously faithful or someone super random.

This has got to be the messiest group of Traitors yet. There are way too many "gamers" in the turret this season. Danielle is strategizing so much that she is over-strategizing. Boston Rob hasn't learned the last season's lesson from Dan Gheesling that as traitor, you can't openly target people who are on to you (unlike in Big Brother and Survivor). But I guess there are enough dum dum faithfuls who believe Boston Rob that he might skirt by. If this season ends up like season 2 of Traitors Australia, I will be sorely disappointed (although that season did have the one of the best endings out of almost all the Traitors seasons).

If this was a series finale, that determination must have been made after the fact. They were clearly trying to set up several storylines to be explored further, particularly for Bela and Kimberly. Hell, they literally set up a love triangle for Kimberly in this episode. What would be the point of introducing Noah, a completely brand new character, if this was intended to be a series finale? Also, I think Mindy Kaling can manage multiple projects at once. So I don't think her show with Kate Hudson is necessarily indicative of this show ending. Overall while I still like this show, I feel that the tone and characterizations have shifted slightly this season, particularly for Kimberly. Season 1 Kimberly was earnest, naive, a little bit over her head with school work and a really great friend. I loved Season 1 Kimberly. She was such a great, nuanced character. This season's Kimberly just feels a bit off. I'm not sure if Kimberly the academic overachiever who's concerned about how sexting may impact her future career prospects is a natural evolution from the season 1 Kimberly who tried cheating on a test just so she could pass a class and was caught literally trying to have sex on her professor's desk.

Meh... as someone who's watched both shows, this episode didn't work for me. The tone of both shows was off. Most of the characterizations of the It's Always Sunny group were way off even when adjusting for tone - especially Mac. The Mac portrayed here is nothing like the Mac portrayed on It's Always Sunny. It's almost as if Rob McElhenney decided to play himself instead of the character Mac. I think Frank was the character closest to his actual character in the It's Always Sunny universe and maybe Dee next. I guess it makes sense for Frank. Danny Devito is a good actor and It's Always Sunny didn't get really good until after he joined. I did think the teaching Charlie how to read storyline was cute. Oh I doubt those were really the eggs from a protected bird. If I were a betting person, I would put money on some sort of Frank and Mac scheme there. Which leads me to... I'm curious how the second part of this episode will play (i.e from the gang's eyes). I want to know what the gang was actually up to while they were there (because as noted many times over, they are not so sweet or innocent). Also, it'll be interesting to see how raunchy they'll let some of the Abbott characters get.

I feel like this documentary was not very comprehensive and kinda angry? There were so many areas they could have explored with this subject and they just kept it to a couple of wild stories and a couple of the producers. I feel like they could have easily done a couple more episodes and gave us more of Jerry's background and Richard Dominick's background. Hell, they didn't even mention Jerry's popular bodyguard Steve Wilkos who went on to host his own talk show (which apparently is still going according to Wikipedia). The only compelling part of this documentary for me was the son telling his story of his mother's horrible tragedy. So I disagree with the final statement that as a Netflix viewer of this documentary, I would only be interested in the horse and the murder. There was so much more I wanted to learn about how this show operated and what it was like to be on the show from both staff and guest perspectives.

This is incredibly sad. She was so young 😢

Not to mention that the song that Kingo and his dancers danced to was lifted directly from the Bollywood song "Malhari" from the 2015 film Bajirao Mastani. Like literally:

Trixie and her partner David Silver have broken up. It sounds like they're still in the motel business together but not sure what will happen with the house. https://ew.com/trixie-mattel-reveals-david-silver-breakup-8767655

This show was a fun easy watch. And the cliffhanger ending was a really good twist. I would definitely watch a second season. Also, did we ever find out how the first guy she slept with (Brandon?) died? Did I miss it? If not, that might be another part of the mystery to unravel. I think my only pet peeve about this show is that it's supposed to take place in Seattle but it was so obvious that they weren't actually in Seattle. Checking out the IMDB, it looks like Vancouver was used as the filming location - which isn't unusual for shows that "take place" in Seattle. But the Fremont Troll scene was such as obvious green screen that it was distracting. Side note: does the actor who plays Richie regularly do Toyota commercials? When they showed him on the Toyota lot, I thought it was a commercial break and had to do a double take.

I think the format of this show just doesn't work. I get the general concept of having the couples break up, date around to see if they connect better with other people and then have them come back together to make a final decision. But the structure of having such a limited dating pool of people who are in the same circumstance as you really doesn't lend itself for the "exploration" phase that I'm guessing Nick & Vanessa had during their break up period. It creates weird dynamics in the "trial marriages" where any level of physical affection is akin to cheating and the participants start "coaching" each other. I'm willing to bet Nick & Vanessa did more than just hold hands with other people during their separation period. I think a better setup would be to focus on 3 - 4 couples, have them break up and date from a larger group of singles, pick one person to date seriously for a couple of weeks and have them return to their original partners for a couple of weeks. You would still get all of that jealous footage the show loves with a higher likelihood of several love triangles. At this point, I'm not invested in any of the current couples or care what happens next.

New season dropped on Netflix. So far there are 5 episodes posted with the next batch available on December 11th.
