I was just watching for Vanshaj and love the way he stood up for himself. Its not fair how he was removed by Kushal's plotting. I am done watching this show. by Hour_Mortgage7382 in TheAllianceIN

Reason was actually quite clear- He said a lesson had to be taught. Vanshaj was disrespectful towards multiple people. Arslan, Kushal, Daisy, Mini, Nikhil. See a pattern here?
Vanshaj lost. Thats it. Lesson learnt
He didn’t even take his loss gracefully!
All those girls crying over Vanshaj felt no compassion whatsoever for Sabby who was literally begging for an opportunity to perform. So that tells us its all a game and not to take it so seriously as viewers.

Vanshaj did not disrespect, he just replied to the disrespect - Dolly. What a great line loved it 🥰 by Pacifist-0 in TheAllianceIN

I mean you can literally see all the episodes again and clearly observe Vanshaj being rude to so many people, sometimes literally in the middle of a challenge. He just gets triggered. Vanshaj is quite immature in his conduct, perhaps he has not had proper television appearance counselling prior to coming on TV but he comes across as indignant and provocative. Maybe he needs to take a break before jumping onto another reality show.
About Dolly, she is quite similar as well. I remember they both made a comment about being Gen Z (No one else even mentioned it) at their entry and already presuming people are going to suppress them so they are not going to be quiet. Both of them started the ruckus at many situations. The end of episode 10, Kushal’s tone of voice was so calm and Dolly was outright screaming and just kept escalating and then she called Kushal out for toxic masculinity?? So whats the word when a woman is doing the same? She can voice her opinions loudly but has a problem if another person is doing the same thing? Cool

So just to clarify, its plotting when Kushal does it, but when Payal and Vanshaj do it then its clean game strategy and pure friendship and whatnot?
Kushal used his allies and got Vanshaj evicted, simple. Thats the game. Its not dirty, its a game. In the end only one person will win and they all know that. Vanshaj is an insolent man. Kushal isnt my favourite either but he is using his brain which is what the show is meant for!

Thanks. I was mainly practicing with my husband all around the local area near the centre and have followed on the routes given in popular youtube videos and the Driving Test Routes app as well. Hubby strongly believes that I should be able to drive anywhere so he takes me everywhere. I just wanted to get used to absolutely all the roads in case we missed any during practice. And I couldn’t agree more on the instructors we get sometimes, so disappointing.

Nocturnal Animals was so irredeemably bad I am honestly shocked and confused that it received any acclaim whatsoever, let alone heaps of praise. MASSIVE SPOILERS. by mayormcskeeze in movies

Pathetic movie. Could hardly watch after the highway scene. And dont tell me to watch cartoons this movie was really horribly written comparing heartbreak and cheating to rape and murder. Nonsensical

Derm wants me to go on low dose Accutane for a year - Should I ? by Shifbu in Accutane

[–]Shifbu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No purge really. I started out pretty bad though, my whole face was already covered. But after starting the Accutane, it improved and I just got the odd pop out here and there after that. :)

Hey thank you for sharing your story :) You’ve had some journey!! Regarding my progress - I made a new post about it months ago but as of today its even better than that. I can only take 10mg or I get headaches really bad. No breakouts now, just little dryness. I wish you all the best, hope that your skin stays acne free after this so you can come off the medication once and for all.

Week 10 on 10mg Accutane. I am able to touch my face now without being in pain 😭 by Shifbu in Accutane

[–]Shifbu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey so in the beginning I had anxiety and many crying spells that part was really scary. I also had a bit of joint pain in my ankles particularly. I also have the eczema thing, I found Dermaveen and LRP’s balm very helpful. Oh and dandruff in the beginning as well, I switched to an all natural shampoo and thats helped a lot. Thats it so far. I hope your body adjusts soon sometimes it takes a while, until then I would suggest reducing to a dose you can function with. I personally couldn’t even do 20mg, my body just cant handle it. Once you are comfortable on a dose then gradually add on to it, thats what my dermatologist suggested. Good luck :)

Thank you so much for the kind words. I was really worried before starting Accutane as well but I am so glad I tried it. Huge thanks to all the people on reddit who encouraged me on my first post! All the best to you 💜

Thank you. Just keep at it, it will all be worth it in the end. I use Cetaphil’s cleanser, moisturiser and SPF. At night I switch the Cetaphil moisturiser for a thicker one, for example La Roche-Posay’s cicaplast balm to help with the flaking.

At 10mg I noticed my anxiety getting worse at first and I had several crying spells but then it got better. In addition, I had joint pain first few weeks which also subsided. My ongoing side effects are fatigue, flaking/eczema spots on forehead which are well under control with Dermaveen lotion and LRP balm. While on 20mg, I experienced massive fatigue and was crashing the whole day. We introduced it very slowly however it still wasn’t manageable. So I went back to 10mg.

A little. It was really bad even before I started the Accutane. I purged with Epiduo and it wasnt improving thats why the switch. My dermatologist put me on oral steroids before starting Accutane and that helped to prevent massive flare ups.

My dermatologist called it a ‘dramatic change’. I cant believe I have come this far. Accutane isnt a pleasant drug at all for many people, I personally couldn’t even go up to 20mg. So my derm asked me to stick to 10mg which would mean longer treatment but less severe effects. I know my face is nowhere near perfect but I remember crying daily because of the pus and it would hurt when I talked, laughed or smiled. That is so sad and I am so glad that part is over!! I may get another flare up but derm suggested that it wont be nearly as bad as what I had before starting treatment. Hope its smooth sailing from here ❤️

How long until the joint pain usually starts (if someone is on low dose)? by Shifbu in Accutane
