This was so difficult to watch. Just hearing so many instances where bad stuff was blatantly going on and nothing stopped it. Or when it was discovered, it was downplayed. Those kids were used and spat out. They may act like they were genuinely taking care of the kids but in the end money ruled peoples decisions and they just turned their head and let it happen. So I was older when those shows came out so I didn't watch them. My daughter, however, discovered iCarly and binged it. I had to side eye some of those jokes and the obvious foot fetish that someone behind the scenes clearly had. Barf. The thing that bothers me the most about the letters of support are that they come at the sentencing. So everyone who wrote one knew he was found guilty, right? Very disturbing.

When this season started, I had high hopes for it. In the first season the mystical or otherworldly aspects were centered mostly around the character of Rust. In this season we have Navarro and her sister experiencing supernatural visions. Their mother had it too so maybe it was actually related to mental health issues. We never really find out which is fine. Rose sees a dead Tavis Cohle and alludes to also interacting with other dead people. I also know that TV and films often portray other cultures with some kind of mysticism so that could be a part of it. I didn't hate the show but it didn't feel that satisfying in the end. So at the end when we see Navarro standing next to Liz it was with the line like people never really leave us. I took that to mean that she will always be with Liz in spirit but not that she died. I know we see her walk into the ice but it just doesn't make sense to me to have her do what her sister did. She seemed to have left and moved on but her impact on Liz is still felt. Also, the case of Annie K. was wrapped up so she probably feels she can move on.

It kind of bothered me that all the focus is on Raven adopting some Nigerian culture but SK wouldn't participate in the rodeo activity. Not a big deal but it made me think. I felt bad for Raven but I think she should have known that this marriage isn't the right thing. She wanted to stay in Texas while he was in CA and have him pay half her rent. I do think her family situation might be driving her to want to get married because maybe she's lacking that closeness and warmth of family. Cole and Zanab are just not compatible. He's goofy and immature and she doesn't seem to like that. She then kind of backtracks and acts like it wasn't a big deal but in the moment, he feels the annoyance she has for him. He has to ask, do you even like me? I was hoping Nancy would say I don't. I think Bartise will say I do.

I didn't hate the movie but as the third film in the trilogy, it was disappointing. I wish they had only made two movies. Kills had a lot of good stuff in it but I wish they had left out the "Evil dies tonight" hospital mob, resulting in the death of that other escaped inmate. It didn't work for me and went on too long. Then, at the end, I would have liked to see Michael finally get killed like in Ends. It could be the people of the town doing it with Laurie showing up at the end to witness it and/or help. I don't know, something like that.

I was just going to say the same thing and then saw you posted this. It also seems like they want to forget Evelyn existed and she too was a big part of that shit show. How was she not listed as a GOAT though? When talking about Diem, I do like that the producers/interviewers asked CT if he wanted to say something about Diem "as a friend". To me that was a more respectful way to frame their relationship now that he's married. He got me choked up though. Gone too soon indeed. I think this part was in an earlier episode but the Johnny Bananas backpack will never get old for me. I wish there were more untold parts in this series. It seems like mostly stuff we already knew.

Julie was probably the most immoral thing at the drag queen show. Kidding. Look, people make mistakes. She's not a horrible person for drinking way too much and getting messy. She's not the first to do it and she doesn't have much experience. But, from the way she's been acting and the way it appears to go down next episode, she doesn't seem to act regretful or take responsibility. It may turn out different next week but for now she's just looking crazy. She doesn't seem sincere with her apologies to Danny and Melissa. It comes off more as, I just don't want you to be mad at me anymore. She seems more remorseful about Danny. I was a little surprised Melissa was going to allow her to take the "I don't know what happened but I'm sorry" route. I would have thought she would want her to admit she did it. Matt bugs me. He seems like he's just Mr. healing positive, hug it out guy. They will decide if a hug is appropriate, not you. I got choked up watching Danny's story and all the behind the scenes. The anxiety during the show and after had to have been massive. Just for being who you are. Why is our society like this? Ugh. New Orleans is the season where the cast is probably the closest to my age and even though that season isn't top in my mind, every time they show footage, it's like, oh yeah, I remember that.

I was really excited about this season but it just irritated me every week. Tami bothered me by calling out others for "not being real" or not talking about certain things but then she takes herself to a hotel while the rest of the group go on a trip together to "get real". I don't think Tami know's how to deal with or doesn't want to deal with people who aren't what her idea of them are. Does that make sense? She has a hard time accepting people for who they are. Of course I can only judge by this group because that's all I know of Tami. She did David wrong by calling her husband to come over and deal with him. David was being an ass yes but, the way to deal with that is to not give it more attention. David seemed to be in 3 modes during the time we saw him. Making it work and genuinely having a decent time, fighting, disengaged and talking to someone on the phone. I think the talk with the transgendered kids was important and great that it may help people. I wonder if any young people watch this. This show is only slightly interesting to me because I know these people from watching them the first time. Would anyone new care about this? I can see myself in Beth S. a little. I feel for her. She needs to speak up for herself and realize she shouldn't try so hard to be friends with Tami. Tami's not thaaaaat great.

This show is so irritating. People are not saying what they should be, unless it's just the editing, which is possible. Other people had an issue with David smoking/vaping at the table where they were eating. I saw Tami smoking away from the group. Did anyone point out that difference to him? Beth A. said she didn't want to make a big deal about it, but I don't think Beth S.'s request was at all out of line or making it a big deal. I think it's common sense and common courtesy to not blow smoke or vape or whatever, at a table where people are eating and David's reaction is once again showing what kind of person he is. All of them should have said, "Hey, don't take it out on Beth, she's just voicing what a few of us also think." Ugh. Beth being upset that Jon didn't officiate her wedding but is doing Irene's vow renewal was somewhat understandable but not cool to insinuate that she's more deserving because she's only been married once compared to Irene's multiple. Right in front of Irene? Really. Beth definitely doesn't come off looking good sometimes but I really don't think she deserves what David is doing. And I also agree, he can't complain about being called a different name and then act like a child calling Beth Karen. Just stop.

I totally agree. It's hard to watch but I can't look away. I'm not a big reality TV person but I grew up on the early seasons of the Real World and must see this through lol. David unfortunately hasn't changed much. I was hoping he could take responsibility and also acknowledge how he was hurt by the blanket incident. He chose to double down and watch it again while laughing. When they saw the behind the scenes of him with the producers and the hurt he went through, they game him a lot more respect than he did with them. It's like with Becky last season. Just say, I was wrong and did/said things I regret and I'm deeply sorry. End of story. I was liking Tami and then she said the thing to Jon about getting P. It's so tacky. She had to know that would upset him. I thought she had a good relationship with him. It just didn't look good. I liked watching them go bowling and having a good time for a while. It seems like they can all hang out and have a decent time as long as no one says or does something inappropriate. David so far has brought the inappropriate and it looks like there's more on the way.

I think it's funny that Arissa was all zen and spiritual and then at the end turned into "fuck you all". I don't understand the anger though. It was obvious that this was new to everyone and they were all put on the spot. Beth threw out her name and the majority honored that. Suck it up and go in. I agree that the music is enjoyable. It's like they know their viewers are probably older because the cast is older and may want to recognize some tunes lol.

We have Paramount + for a while and I got a little too excited that I could watch the old Challenge seasons. I watched them when they originally aired until it started being more people that I didn't recognize than I did. I forgot how toxic most of them are. The men are just awful sometimes. The way Wes talks to Casey on Fresh Meat, ugh. I'm on the Duel right now and I don't like how Beth was disqualified for ripping the flag. To me it looked like she was trying to get it off and it ripped and then she unclipped the carabiner right after. Could be editing but it just looked wrong. I forgot how crazy Jo's early exit was from the Gauntlet II. Yikes. I feel like some of these dudes over the years may have been on steroids by the way they're acting. I feel like I remember reading that it was a known thing or speculation or something. It's been many years so it's a bit blurred. I can't wait to get to all the other memorable moments on other seasons. Johnny Bananas backpack certainly can't come soon enough. Big Easy almost dying at the final challenge. It will be upsetting to see Tonya on that infamous season. I agree with others on here that it went to far in some cases and production could have made it a more safe environment. I might post more feelings after I watch more.

I totally agree. With 30 Helens. See what I did there? Seriously I agree. I too was surprised to see the lack of pages of comments here. It was ok to see Chris win but not super satisfying. In another season watching a Rick Devins win would be kind of annoying since most of it seemed to be idol play. But he was actually visible in the game, playing. I think they should stop hiding idols earlier in the game. Once a certain tribal hits, if an idol is played, that’s it.

Consider me enlightened regarding Casey. I felt at first that it came out of nowhere because I didn't pick up on what others did. Of course it's completely normal for feelings to develop out of the blue and it's great that gay relationships are being represented. I exaggerated and I don't really feel like there are soooo many shows where this happens. Now I'm questioning why I even thought that? I'm learning.

Wooot! Time for a re-watch!

I just finished season two last night. I came on here after the first episode but noticed there was only this one post for the whole season. I avoid spoilers so here I am after finishing the last episode. I know she did wrong but I feel Elsa was treated extra badly by her family. Even the kids said hateful things and as a parent I can't see myself being OK with being talked to that way. Maybe she feels she deserves it. Maybe she does deserve it and I'm not understanding because I've never been in that situation. Also, she seems different this season, like more spacey. Casey and Sam are awesome as siblings. She obviously would do anything for Sam and I love how she encourages him with his art. The "tighter or looser" line when he was freaking out was so sweet. I love that Paige stood up for Sam. They must be outcasts of a sort if Sam isn't fully embraced by the other kids. I don't know, we only see Sam's perspective and he does pretty well as far as having a few friends and even being in a relationship for a while. Are most of the students mean and cruel while only a few are truly accepting or is it the work of one insecure, horrible person wrote that crap? I think I'm thinking too much about it. Regarding Casey and Izzie. I was happy when Izzie started being less mean girl and more genuine. I kept thinking there was going to be a twist and she was going to be playing Casey somehow after she opened up to her. I'm glad that didn't happen. I liked that it didn't take too long for Izzie to come back to Casey and say screw whatshisface. I rolled my eyes when they went to kiss though. I feel like a lot of close relationships between two girls on TV and movies either go that route or tease it and I just don't need this one to. Why the extra drama?
