If I had a quid for every time a bigoted right-wing British politician who actively ruined thousands of lives during a difficult time had his actions forgiven by the British public because he went on I’m A Celebrity: Get Me Out of Here! and ate monkey testicles or some shit, I’d have £2. Which isn’t a lot but it’s fucking depressing that it’s happened twice

The fact that we never got more footage of these two spices and don't know if they ended up together was a miss from Love is Blind producers.

María should have dropped Tom in the pods. Tom does not want to be a man within a marriage. He wants help to pay for his mortgage. He’ll want to raise his daughters to be pickmes and his sons to abandon their masculinity. He does not see the value in femininity.

MY GUILTY PLEASURE🏝️

Here's my big confession. I'm a big love island watcher. This is has been my biggest guilty pleasure since I watched LI UK season 5 because all I've ever heard about is how reality tv is garbage, they don't rate it, it's a waste of time etc. I'm a very private person anyway, but I've felt embarrased about this for a while. So silly I know. Sometimes we just make these things a big deal, when really it's not.

But then it's actually quite nice sharing your guilty pleasures with someone and you can maybe even find out that they enjoy it and are passion about it as you are.

So yeah, I love watching it. Just the UK one though. But back then I watched the whole season 1 of the Australian version and season 2 of the US one because I heard they were really good, but after that I couldn't get into any other seasons. With UK LI I know I'm going to be seated no matter what.

And season 11 is starting tonight! I'm super pumped!!! So happy love island day to those who celebrate!

You can let me know your guilty pleasures or if you're watching LI too. It's a friendly space.🤍

just watched the libuk reunion!! thoughtsss:

love that demi chose herself, she has great role models so i hope she can have a similar loving relationship in the future

ollie and sharlotte was not in my bingo card for this reunion??? lol

not steven and sabrina underestimating the pressures of a long distance relationship??? what a shame, but it also seems like steven was the big issue..

bobby and jasmine!!!!!!!!! AHHHHH!!! just love them together, they are simply a perfect match

oh goodness maria really ate that man tom up, and as she should!

watching back the first date, how could nicole have been swayed by sam after such an amazing time with benaiah?? but at least they got their second chance at love!!

sam LYING about nicole wanting to get intimate?? what a fucking freakkkk, hate his stupid asss

and finalllly, happy that freddie and catherine are no longer together, that was definitely for the best

And once again obssesed with The Traitors. No other reality tv show will ever captivate me as much. I've watched pretty much every iteration out there except Canada...but I'm gonna save it for after S2 of UK and US are done. I cannot recommend it enough. It's so different from most reality tv.

[estellamiraiauthor]

So, I really enjoyed The Traitors (UK) and was excited to learn there are US and Australia versions too… but the US one is frustrating me for two reasons: First, putting in a bunch of people who had already been on Real Housewives and similar reality shows really skews the demographics of the group. The UK cast seemed to really be from all over, but the US one is definitely skewed towards LA and the surrounding area? It also means a lot of these people are already independently wealthy and don’t really need $250,000, when a large part of the appeal of the UK show was coming to feel like ALL the contestants deserved the money and not being sure who to root for. The UK show also just felt more diverse overall in terms of disability, ethnicity, etc.

It also feels extremely frustrating that they’re reusing the exact same puzzles they used in the UK version… definitely not expecting the same people to watch both shows? It makes the missions super boring, because none of it is a surprise to me!

Is the Australia one better???

I can’t believe tumblr wasn’t all over bbuk 2023 the whole love triangle thing screams tumblr: Jordan liking Matty but Henry being smitten with Jordan, Matty not being interested but still always trying to talk to Jordan but Jordan setting boundaries cause he doesn’t wanna perpetuate the love triangle plot line.

Jordan proceeding to ignore both Matty and Henry after hearing them talk about him leading to Henry crying in the diary room.

Jordan and Henry making up again and being good friends then plot twist Jordan gets fake evicted (whilst he’s fake evicted Henry gave him his necklace which he still hasn’t taken off) then saved and put back in the house, Jordan and Henry reunite and spend the next days snogging all over the place whilst maintaining the narrative that it’s platonic.

Then Jordan wins, they all leave the house and and do a bunch of press and interviews with Jordan and henry maintaining their relationship.

And then Jordan posted m/m romance fiction on his instagram story for funsies. That’s not relevant to the triangle it’s just funny 😭

That’s not even all of it, I wanna study Jordan’s brain in a lab, the whole thing screams ao3 reality tv au and I love it
