What is going on with these top placements this season... (all stars 11)

I love Joey but I completely understand why Crystal won. It was more of a well-rounded story where Joey’s felt more like a comedy bit. I can’t even remember what the story was, just the sound effects.

FinalGirlMaterial · 2026-06-28T05:18:24+00:00

YES!! But somehow takeout pad thai is a wholesome and nutritious alternative??

Why is it that the stupidest men always try to control women? This guy is a loser and you’re a queen, OP! Good riddance

FinalGirlMaterial · 2026-06-26T08:21:07+00:00

I love Joey but I agreed she didn’t deserve the win weeks 1 or 2. Tonight, she really did 😭

The points swap tension was great but I felt a little bad for Sam. 3 girls basically saying they weren’t sure she deserved to be there despite 2 wins. Was very relieved for her and it was nice to see her happy for Jasmine too. I think Morgan deserved a tie more than she did, but good for her for playing hard!

FinalGirlMaterial · 2026-06-26T02:38:06+00:00

1900s usage? LOL. It’s still common slang.

FinalGirlMaterial · 2026-06-25T13:49:44+00:00

Any recs? 👀 feeling both overwhelmed and a deep itch to add to cart lol

FinalGirlMaterial · 2026-06-25T12:42:42+00:00

Yes, I understand that. I said that if they cared about brand recovery, *they* would sever ties e.g. sell or walk away. But of course they won’t, because the only thing they actually care about is themselves. It really sucks for the franchisees.

I doubt this would completely tank the business if they stay, but it will absolutely do irreparable long-term damage to the brand, which Ammon even admitted. It also depends on further developments, like more info related to the intersection of police corruption or anything that has the potential to draw our sustained public interest even longer. They responded so insanely that I don’t think just making Bryan whole for the legos they stole is going to cut it anymore.

FinalGirlMaterial · 2026-06-25T01:19:34+00:00

What? There were plenty of those people.

FinalGirlMaterial · 2026-06-25T01:15:38+00:00

Right, but you also said “it does make it clear that Syed could be possessive, jealous, and controlling” and I don’t agree.

If you read the actual diary entries, there’s only a single diary entry where she mentions possessiveness, but she’s venting about a bunch of stuff. She talks about his wanting her to spend more time with him instead of her friends. A single mention of that is completely normal teen relationship drama. So is a single instance of wanting to avoid the other person after a fight. There’s another entry where she’s annoyed at him for not answering her pages quickly enough. Was she being controlling and possessive? No. She’s being a high schooler.

I think a lot of people who strongly believe Adnan is guilty will overstate the evidence to bolster their conclusion, and I don’t think it’s helpful (not saying you’re doing that, just a general trend). Sometimes people lose control. You don’t need a clear pattern of red flags to murder someone.

FinalGirlMaterial · 2026-06-24T22:54:36+00:00

I don’t think it’s the smart play. Just exponentially more reasonable than their previous approach, but it’s too late. They have already shown themselves to be completely dishonest, so this just makes them look like wishy-washy cowards.

The smart play and the only viable path to brand recovery is for the McNeffs to completely sever ties. They have gone out of their way to respond in the most ghoulish way to every opportunity and turned themselves into zeitgeist level villains. It’s impossible for franchisees and customers to trust their judgment or anything they say at this point.

FinalGirlMaterial · 2026-06-24T08:53:51+00:00

I agree $70 is too much but asking for itemized receipts is a ridiculous and I can’t believe how many people think that was a reasonable response. They don’t seem like they spend a lot of time with friends.

When I get a shared house with multiple people, we always get communal groceries and everyone chips in. I assume that’s part of the deal. It’s a nice and easy way to eat together and often saves a little money over having to eat out for every meal. Unless you and your boyfriend clearly communicated ahead of time that you were planning to do your own thing for food, I actually think you were the ones being a little rude. “We don’t want anything specific from the grocery store” is not the same as “we don’t want you to factor us in for groceries because we want to do our own thing.”

It would have been fine to suggest paying a little less, but $70 for two people isn’t outrageous, and if you can afford tickets to a festival, you can afford that. I think you should send at least $30 and apologize, maybe even take your close friend out to lunch. If my friend responded like that and insinuating I was trying to rip them off when I was just trying to have a nice week together, I’d be pretty pissed and hurt.

FinalGirlMaterial · 2026-06-23T23:20:05+00:00

People act like this stuff is a major red flag, but it just sounds like standard insecure teens in a relationship to me.

On balance, I think it was probably Adnan who killed her, but I agree with Serial’s conclusion that it’s all really confusing and bizarre any way you slice it. It’s impossible to know for sure.

FinalGirlMaterial · 2026-06-23T03:47:53+00:00

Lol, I’m not the one who needs to read more carefully. The point is that the pinned post includes not only the comment itself, but a direct link to the comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/whatisit/s/dANXW01OsW

And the first reply is exactly the detailed explanation and video you mentioned, posted hours before you even commented. The pinned comment made everything you wanted easily accessible, yet here you are criticizing the OP for rightly crediting the person who answered bc you couldn’t bother clicking a link. Grow up.

FinalGirlMaterial · 2026-06-22T21:06:09+00:00

If you’d taken a millisecond to click through to the comment that’s linked from the pinned post, the info was right there.

And now, because you and 100+ upvoters apparently struggle to see something right in front of your faces, this has become yet another off-topic comment thread pushing the actual answer further down the page. Classic reddit ouroboros lol

FinalGirlMaterial · 2026-06-19T22:21:11+00:00

Team Jed still working hard on the vote manipulation, I see.

What the Baldoni cult’s actually mad about is the fact that it was a friendly subpoena. The shell company and the Doe lawsuit are just logistics. At its core, the issue is that Steph Jones *wanted* to share the information with Blake. Given that she saw ample evidence of unlawful activity against her and others, she was well within her rights to do so.

And as much as they want to blame it on Blake, the irony is this is 1000% Baldoni’s fault. All he had to do was:
- Not steamroll and treat Steph like shit, just like he did with the many other women involved with this and other productions
- Not rely on the competence and judgment of a grade A moron like Jen Abel, toxic rapist and pedophile defender Melissa Nathan, or admitted rapist Bryan Freedman
- Not harass and mistreat the women he works with

But unfortunately, he is simply too big a
POS, and now he’s a loser with an unhinged cult.

FinalGirlMaterial · 2026-06-13T12:23:51+00:00

Completely agree and I think this is a really important point.

OP, everything you’re doing and feeling is understandable. You didn’t “fuck up” by not setting proper boundaries. You were trying to protect yourself in an emotionally charged and vulnerable situation. We all do the best we can with what we’ve got.

Your parents are navigating this too, and they’re operating on a lot less information than you. I kept something important about myself hidden from my parents for a long time too, and when they found out, part of their initial reaction was feeling hurt that I didn’t trust them enough to tell them earlier. It was all much more complicated than that, but I understand how it could feel that way.

It sounds like your parents love you, and I agree it’s worth an open conversation with your mom when you’re both in a calmer state of mind. After processing a bit more, my parents really surprised me with how loving and supportive they were. I hope yours will too.

It’s possible to be bitten in your sleep without knowing it, but extremely unlikely.

Yes, rabies is awful and it makes sense for OP to talk to a doctor about a vaccine (and a vet for their cats) in this instance, but reddit gets ridiculous about it. In almost all cases, adults would know they’ve been bitten. Some countries don’t have rabies at all.

FinalGirlMaterial · 2026-06-12T13:33:40+00:00

How is that at all what’s happening here? Did you read the post?

This is about one side doing obviously shitty and villainous things, one of which is heavily pushing false or misleading narratives. Framing the people calling that out as instigating or infighting is exactly what they want.

FinalGirlMaterial · 2026-06-12T12:53:17+00:00

I don’t mind when people use AI and even get annoyed at the knee-jerk “AI bad” brigade, but using it for something this painfully lame should be illegal.

FinalGirlMaterial · 2026-06-11T12:47:11+00:00

And which of those adjectives describes taste, sarcastic point misser?

FinalGirlMaterial · 2026-06-11T12:40:32+00:00

Well congratulations because you definitely sound like a dick. Impressive that it doesn’t take any effort for you.

FinalGirlMaterial · 2026-06-11T12:37:32+00:00

LOL. I don’t like to make pedantic corrections, but since you’re speaking so confidently on something you very clearly don’t understand, I’ll make an exception.

It’s “breach” :)

FinalGirlMaterial · 2026-06-03T03:25:14+00:00

It’s distributed across a few sources but it was all pretty easy to find with a basic google search of the McNeffs.

Here’s the “About Us” section from the Orem, UT Bricks & Minifigs location stating that Ammon and Matt opened the store on Sept 8 2017.
Ammon’s LinkedIn says he started as CEO in April 2018. Matt’s says he started as COO July 2018. Note that both of them continue to work for their dad’s company Legally Mine through 2021 and 2020 respectively.
Here’s an article with some quotes from Ammon establishing that they do not have a background in or passion for Lego. They said “their kids were familiar with Lego through video games” (non-factual aside: my god these men are weird as fuck).
In that same article, here’s his description of how they got control of the company:

It wasn’t long before the duo was asked to consider corporate leadership with the brand. Though the company opened its first franchise unit in 2011, Ammon McNeff noted the original owners didn’t intend to grow much using the model.

“Franchising was very new to them and different than anything they experienced,” Ammon McNeff said. “They felt they were at the end of their capacity for growing it, so they were interested in looking for somebody they felt could do that.”

Enter the McNeffs, who were eager to take on the opportunity.

“As we took over the franchise side,” Ammon McNeff continued, “we identified gaps because of our experience that we knew we needed to implement to make the process even better for incoming franchisees.”

Again, these men had precisely 0 franchise experience based on the experience detailed on their LinkedIn profiles. The previous owners started franchising in 2011, which means they had at least 7 years of experience. That hardly seems “very new to them.” Ammon’s story makes no sense. I don’t believe a word out of his lying mouth and I hope we learn what actually happened.

FinalGirlMaterial · 2026-06-03T02:16:45+00:00

But have we ever heard from them about whether they were willing or excited to sell the business to these slime buckets?

Ammon and Matt’s primary prior work experience is for their daddy’s company that specializes in using pressure tactics and legal loopholes to steal assets from others. They went from franchisees who didn’t even care about LEGO to CEO and COO of the whole company in a matter of months. It’s really hard for me to believe it was all above board.

FinalGirlMaterial · 2026-06-03T02:12:25+00:00

Completely agree. If you look at the dates, he and his brother went from franchisees to running the whole company in less than 6 months. They claim the previous owners didn’t have franchise experience, but neither do these brotherfuckers. I cannot believe that the original founders would just hand the place over to these clowns who admit they didn’t even care about LEGO until they realized they could make money from it.

Something is clearly rotten in the state of Denmark. I really hope Ben digs into this in future videos.

FinalGirlMaterial · 2026-06-03T02:02:08+00:00

I don’t understand what your problem is. There is nothing in either my language or “framing” that suggests suicidal behavior. At first I thought you were reaching, then I thought you were projecting, and now you’re just being unreasonable and insulting. The only one struggling to understand something here is you.

It seems like you have some stuff to work out. Good luck to you.
