Murder in Small Town X. A murder mystery reality show, but unlike most murder mystery games that have a cozy manor-house-mystery vibe this one was all edgy 2000s slasher film aesthetics. The season finale aired on September 4th, 2001 and the winner died in 9/11

Lost. No not that one. This one was actually cool (this one and the one above are the only two I actually saw at the time). Contestants were taken to a unknown country and had to first figure out where they were, and then get from there to New York City to win. In the first episode they were abandoned in the middle of Mongolia. Anyway this show about people being flown to the middle of nowhere and safely & freely traveling around the world premiered on Tuesday, September 4th, 2001 and, uh, did not seem so feasible by episode two's premiere date

What the fuck I watched both of those. How did this silly post lead me to remembering what I was doing a week before 9/11

The Runner: This show was about one contestant as a fugitive, running across the country, evading capture from "agents" as he bypassed security in cities and at airports. Mysteriously dropped unaired from its planned late 2001 release date - who could say why!

Moment of Truth. People answer embarrassing questions on polygraph. Cancelled when one woman, with little prompting, admitted she stole money from her boss, wished she'd married her ex-boyfriend, and cheated on her husband, then was eliminated when the lie detector judged her saying "I'm a good person" a lie. Absolute icon

Are You Hot?: The Search for America's Sexiest People. Maybe the nadir of reality show creativity since literally the only premise was to put hot people on a stage and judge if they're hot enough, with nothing else being considered. Lorenzo Lamas, arbiter of human attractiveness, used a laser pointer to point to the "problem areas" of contestant's bodies

Man vs. Beast. Humans engage in athletic feats against animals. A professional eater competitively eats opposite a bear! Dwarves race a elephant! A sumo wrestler tug-of-wars a orangutan! The producer of this says he couldn't make his animals-fight-humans show today bc society is too "woke"

I do have to impress on anyone who wasn't around for it how batshit the reality boom of the 2000s could be. Especially on Fox.

Here are some 100% real 2000s reality shows:

Who's Your Daddy? A woman has to guess which of eight men is her biological father. One of them really is, and if she guesses right she wins $100,000. If one of the seven fake dads convinces her to guess them, he wins $100,000.

Black. White. A white family learns about racism by living a month in blackface, while a black family spends a month in whiteface. The black family was a real family, but the white family was just some actors hired to put on blackface to prove racism exists

Without Prejudice? Five strangers decide which of five strangers gets a cash prize based off clips and their answers to political questions. Cancelled when one of the choosers openly said he'd eliminate all black contestants

Welcome to the Neighborhood. Three conservative white families in a Austin subdivision decide which diverse family gets to move in. Unaired due to being literal housing discrimination

Seriously, Dude, I'm Gay. Two straight men try to pass themselves off as gay and whoever seems more gay gets $50,000. Unaired due to. Due to. Due to

Playing It Straight. A woman tries to find love among fourteen men, half of whom are straight and half of whom are gay, and she must eliminate two men she believes are gay each week. If she ended up picking a straight man in the end, they'd split a million dollars; if she picked a gay man, he'd win a million dollars

Boy Meets Boy. This was Playing It Straight but starring a gay man and he had to eliminate straight people

Who Wants to Marry a Multimillionaire? He wasn't a multimillionaire. He didn't even have a million dollars in liquid assets. He had a battery conviction Fox claims they didn't see. Because it was the 2000s, somehow this ended up with the woman he won being widely vilified and turned into a national punchline. How dare she complain about a massive corporation tricking her into marrying a lying abuser, good thing Matt Lauer's there to take her down a peg

The Swan. A "ugly" woman is given plastic surgery and wins a prize if she's the hottest at the end of the season. If she's not hot enough by the show's standards she's eliminated and called ugly on national TV

The Biggest Loser. Overweight people engage in competitive crash weight loss that often led to awful health complications. Studies showed basically everyone on the show regained any weight they lost once it was over and they didn't have abusive trainers demanding they take huge health risks to win a competitive weight loss competition. Like the others, this one was cancel-oh, it was a massive hit that ran for 18 seasons? Yikes!

Wife Swap and Trading Spouses. These were the same show and had a wife from one family go to another family that was different politically, racially, culturally, religiously etc. Most famous for the God Warrior

At the time people focused on the likes of Fear Factor but looking back it's wild how many of the worst shows toyed with politics. So many of these shows have a premise that's like "what if we exposed these conservatives to these people they hate?" or hyping themselves up as Important Experiments. Then they'd freak out when they got the kind of viral bigoted freakout they were trying to construct the whole time.

There were also a bunch of horrible reality shows, thankfully this time mostly unpopular, in the 2010s that based themselves around economic themes as a response to the market crash, but that's a story for another time

Arista aw it was a doggy note

Adella what's sim and bowie got to do with it

Aquata well I mean you did hopscotch so an obstacle course is in the realm of possibilities

Attina yeah i dunno if the whole collar thing was simba's idea or paul's, could be either tbh

Aquata did hopscotch? play hopscotch? Aquata I don't know how the hell you say that

Adella wait what do you mean can we

Aquata DATE TWO Aquata OBSTACLE COURSE

Alana have you seen a mermaid breastfeed Alana because I DO NOT REMEMBER

Arista OH right! as I was saying on the Bachelorette they had like vaccumming races and like changing diaper races and stuff

Attina I /really/ hope it's not an obstacle course. hey aqua think you can go in my place? There is no way i'm getting through an obstacle course.

Adella i assume we were breastfed?

Attina we were della.

Alana nice good to know

Adella see atty remembers

Alana i hear some people are into adult lactation

Aquata Yeah, I'll just sneak in when it's time to run it. He definitely won't notice the change in appearance

Adella yikes

Alana wear a wig aqua

Aquata I'm not wearing a fucking wig.

Attina yes! exactly.

Aquata let alone running in one

Attina aw c'mon! true love could be at stake!!

Arista does anyone ever think that like... its super unnatural for us to drink milk because you're like breastfeeding from a cow like baby cows need that

Aquata just dye your hair

Adella wow true love Adella this escalated quickly

Alana tell me more ris

Adella no ris

Alana have you thought about becoming vegan

Attina dye /my/ hair no thank you. i love my hair.

Andrina i geniunely cannot concentrate on this conversation Andrina the fuck are we talking about cows

Arista I mean I have. I'm already a vegetarian

Attina ALSO it's not true love /yet/ but it /could/ be that's why i said /could/

Alana you mean it wasnt at first sight

Adella bummer

Alana *gasp*

Aquata I'm sorry but I'm still not wearing a wig

Alana ris if u switch to soy or almond milk then baby cows can have more cow milk!

Arista wait is it bad that I didn't like love Van at first sight, is that a thing guys

Adella almond milk is yummy

Attina ugh. fine. i'll just have to keep my fingers crossed for no obstacle course.

Alana i dont date anyone unless i fall in love wtih them on first sight

Aquata No it is not a bad thing.

Alana hence why i have not dated anyone

Adella lana's just being a jerk ris

Attina and it's not bad arista, sometimes love takes a while.

Andrina i only date cows

Arista okay, cause like I could definitely I'm just like not ready yet

Aquata just make sure that if it's a race it's in a pool because then I can wear a cap. Problem solved

Attina oh! well we'll be at the lake so, but i mean i could take paul in a race if we were just swimming pfft he's /human/

Arista I dunno, swim caps aren't cute. Like no offense Aquata but its like weird looking

Alana i think she looks rather fetching in her swim cap

Adella you could find a cute one i'm sure

Aquata They make fun ones Ris

Alana it brings out her cheekbones and face structure when her hair's not a mess

Attina though i mean wait what if he /does/ ask to go in the water that's like--i should pretend i can't swim or something right i just that freaks me out we shouldn't do that oh god i didn't actually think about this at all he wants to go down to the /lake/

Aquata thanks lana

Alana i read "he wants to go down" Alana and i was like "bow chicka chicka"

Aquata Do you want me to be on standby for the lake just in case?

Attina ugh i dunno is that weird? if you're just like...hanging around? though he hasn't met you yet so maybe that's a good thing he wouldn't know

Arista Maybe you guys should have like walkie talkies.... or text each other... but walkie talkies are more fun

Alana lurk in a bush Alana we also have phones Alana modern day walkie talkies

Attina walkie talkies /are/ fun but bulky but i can't be on my phone that's rude!

Aquata then just like send me a signal or something

Arista I dunno you could always say its a "sister emergency" he should understand what he's getting into with all of us

Andrina just do ur hair super nice and then if he's like dur dur dur lets go in the lake be all "but my HAIR"

Adella keep a pigeon nearby

Andrina then flash him some tit, you're good to go

Adella tie a lil message to its leg

Andrina ok fair point Andrina new plan: sisters, dig. attina, charm. wear a busty dress.

Adella to the lake

Andrina she's got a sundress that shows off some cleavage that's appropriate

Attina what if he makes me do another ridiculous task

Adella then you'll show him more than some cleavage

Arista why is everyone showing paul boobs in their plan

Attina it's not in /my/ plan

Arista good boobs are for later

Attina i'm glad arista gets it. i'm in the same boat, sister.

Adella i didn't say i liked that plan!

Attina oh, true. ahha. lOOK everyone else just keeps telling me to show my boobs and shit, so it's just my assumption

Arista third date material probably. I dunno I feel like Attina is a beyond third date kinda person. I mean I showed Van my boobs like before we were actually dating /officially/ but everyone has their own pace

Attina lord

Adella no need to be snippy

Andrina um i'm the picture of grace Andrina but anyway: Andrina you survived hopscotch in a dress and he invited you to a SECOND date clearly stumpy legs don't matter

Adella i don't think you have stumpy legs anyway! Adella if they were as long as mine you'd just be /lanky/ and klutzy like me

Alana oh my god Alana I am drowning in your pity party

Arista snap out of it Atty you're being self-decapitating again

Alana look we are all hot and we all have our quirks and the key is being proud of them and owning them and boys eat that shit up Alana boys and girls and whatever

Arista ^^^

Adella thank u for the inclusion

Attina okay but /cleaning/

Arista but he DIDNT CARE because he LIKES YOU

Adella yeah but that's... Adella very adult of you?

Alana yah and andrina takes pics of strangers and she's gotten laid loads

 Taggy thing! Tagged by my tumblr content twin @kyle-ze​ <3

Rules: list ten songs you’re currently vibing then tag [as many people as you like lol bc I’m not tagging ten people sorry] so here we go!

Despacito (bet you didn’t see that coming, huh?). Look, this song is a gateway drug to reaggaetón. I would know because I made an entire reggaetón playlist based off this song (and boy the only way I as much as tolerated reggaetón -unless it was Daddy Yankee ofc- was at parties) and it’s a musical masterpiece. Honorable mention to the Salsa Version (which doesn’t have Daddy Yankee on it, shame. But it’s just as great and I appreciate it having a salsa singer in it and while I thought this song couldn’t get any better- the Salsa version proved me wrong)

A Boy Band Made up of Four Joshes may I interest you with some Crazy Ex-Girlfriend? seriously, every song in CXG is the perfect combo of truth and comedy and I haven’t caught up since early season 2 but I rediscovered this song and can’t stop listening to it. Honorable mention to You Stupid Bitch because it’s self deprecating humor at its finest in Celine Dion’s style (and Rachel Bloom’s voice is a whole other thing)

Todo Cambió by Becky G - is the original version with CNCO? because that’s the one I heard first (yes, it’s on my reggaetón playlist) and I LOVED IT. btw, MAYORES, not sure what would be more awkward, having my mom listen to this song with me or watching game of thrones with her in the room but man that song’s hot. (also, that reggaetón + cumbia is  👌)

Evil by Dove Cameron (Kyle already put Chillin’ Like a Villain on his list and I didn’t want to repeat it). Did you know I love Dove Cameron’s voice? because I do. (I also have a playlist called “VK *apple emoji*” for my descendants related songs which not only includes those two but obviously What’s my Name and It’s Going Down)

3am by HONNE I’m pretty sure this song’s about sex... but it has such a feel good vibe it’s so dance-y and chill   🤷‍♀️

Vente Pa’ Ca (Salsa version) by Ricky Martin feat. Maluma. I do like the original (it’s the Despacito effect, what can I do) but I LOVE SALSA. Have I ever told you how much I love Salsa? Because I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

Lookin’ like That by Jordan Fisher. Jordan Fisher’s voice is proof that God is real, I have nothing else to add here.

Woman by Kesha (I could “honorable mention” every new song Kesha has put out since her epic comeback but this list is already getting too long). It’s just so much fun mouthing (when in public- otherwise I shout) with all my heart: “I’M A MOTHERFUCKING WOMAN”. In all honesty, Praying gets me so emotional I can’t really allow myself to tear up at every random time I’m listening to it and that’s the only reason I don’t listen to it that much.

Who’s Loving You? by Auryn feat. Anastacia. Fun fact, one of the members from this Spanish boyband was my celebrity crush when I was about twelve and saw him at a singing contest, when I googled him years later I found this amazing band. This song is so fun to sing and sort of bang your heat against the air to. I don’t know, I just like it.

Sleepwalker by Logan Henderson. If you go back in my tumblr to my early days, you can see all my cringey Big Time Rush posts. And wouldn’t want it any other way. (have I told you Logan Henderson follows me on twitter? because that’s basically my biggest accomplishment so far) This is a great song, it’s very angsty and has a great beat and it’s so different from the pop thing I was used to hearing from him and his voice just sounds soooo good.
