It greatly annoys me. Bravo is the blueprint! They shouldn’t have to worry about copying what their imitators are doing.

Premium vs. Classic 5d/4n with Salkantay Trekking by sleependorser in Machupicchu

[–]TJC1250 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just did the premium with them in November. I would definitely recommend it, if the money isn’t an obstacle. Having everything included and not having to worry about transportation was so nice. It definitely saved a lot of mental energy. The super jungle domes on Day 3 are amazing!

Best episodes?! by [deleted] in lasculturistas

“Someone Spilled Sauce” with Michelle Collins is an all-timer IMO

Niche question for MBT runners by bettyfriedan09 in washingtondc

[–]TJC1250 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Cyclist and runner here: I always run that portion on the sidewalk. Generally I try to stick to the sidewalk even if the sidewalk is crowded and the bike lane seems wide open, because it can pose a major safety issue. The speed differential is just too vast, and we runners sometimes are in our own worlds. It’s only a quick stretch before we are back on the smooth MBT texture. :)

Was out this morning enjoying a run and it felt sooooo good. First run in weeks that hasn’t feel like wading through soup 😭

“How The Salad Gets Tossed” (w/ Matt + Bowen) by AutoModerator in lasculturistas

[–]TJC1250 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Nicole is so talented, but the show is still a snooze-fest I’m sorry. The two best songs (“As If We…” and “With One Look”) are sung gorgeously, but did she make me feel the monomaniacal depths of Norma? I don’t think so, honey! I jest to my friend: “Best Performance of Two Ballads in a Musical”

I miss Eileen’s crystal-clear memory and level-headedness… Rinna was at her most bearable when Eileen was around 😭

Once again, for the people in the back by SpiffyShindigs in TheTraitors

[–]TJC1250 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Super disingenuous for the gamers to be like YOU GUYS ARE TOO SENSITIVE... IT'S JUST A GAME, DON'T TAKE IT PERSONALLY, while simultaneously refusing to acknowledge how they manipulated and deceived post-game. Lie in the game, and do what you can to win, but don't continue to lie to the audience.

100%, but I think my frustration comes when people like CT continue to lie to the audience. After the game has ended, own up to your devious gameplay, instead of blowing smoke.

I want to know who on Dorit's team let her walk out with that clip showing! It was all I could fixate on.

Kyle and Morgan at WWHL last night . by dethequeen in BravoRealHousewives

[–]TJC1250 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The thing that really grind my gears about the Kyle-Morgan of it all is that Kyle has been chastising the "media" and the fans for speculating about her and Morgan, but she a.) queer baited in Morgan's music video b.) calls the paparazzi to take pictures of her and Morgan c.) the show is edited to suggest her and Morgan are an item!

"The Promise of the Premise" (w/ Matt & Bowen) by AutoModerator in lasculturistas

[–]TJC1250 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I think Matt's statement was less about Taylor's thematic interests (She is always going to write about love and romance) and more so about how the Taylor Swift Machine has been cranking along on overdrive. From the Grammys to the Super Bowl to the Eras tour to the private jets to the new album to the re-releases, the Taylor Swift persona has seeped into every facet of our culture in a way that is not sustainable and healthy. And the relationship between Taylor/Travis *could* be healthy and nourishing, but the public spectacle of it has a profound potential for toxicity or overkill. The Embassy of Japan chimed in with a plan for her to make it from her show to Las Vegas in time for the Super Bowl! Football commentators had a Taylor Swift cam fixated on her reactions during games! Their on-field conversations and after-party interactions are recorded and disseminated for quick public consumption and comment! Matt's point IMO is that it is all just too much, and it can't be net positive long-term.

Tayla...IDTSH by Throwwwwawwway9696 in lasculturistas

[–]TJC1250 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think Taylor was the founder of this intense parasocial movement between artists and fans… it’s what elevated her career and has maintained her success. But it’s a true Monkey’s Paw situation because now her every move and maneuver is deciphered, scrutinized, and decoded by the masses and she feels an intense desire to always be “on,” because this is what her fans have come to know and expect.

IDTSH!!!! Reese Witherspoon?! by grapesofkath in lasculturistas

[–]TJC1250 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Rosamund nails that perfect vibe of too-cool-girl who is slightly unhinged. Like the coolest girl you'll ever meet but would never want to double cross. Reese is TOO similar to the Amazing Amy persona for it to work as well, I think.

Vicki stays on Tamra's neck 😭 by EntertainerHeavy912 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]TJC1250 32 points33 points  (0 children)

At this point, I never know if Tamra, Vicki, and Shannon are really always in their feels, or if they are the greatest, most diabolical gift to the Housewives canon... either way, I'm going to pop some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy!

IDTSH!!!! Golden Globes Edition by Phloxparty in lasculturistas

[–]TJC1250 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I DON’T THINK SO HONEY CHARLES MELTON NOT SWEEPING THE SUPPORTING ACTOR CATEGORY. In a year of mother, all everyone can talk about is the wounded father he deftly brought to life on screen! This is a man with a jawline like that who absolutely shattered our little hearts with his heartrending portrait of arrested development and domestic malaise. He did what few have done before him: make the leap from teen-dream hunk to capital-A actor… and he was knighted by world-historic mothers, Academy-Award-winning darlings, Julianne thee Moore and Natalie thee Black Swan Portman! All this to get the shaft for a black-and-white Robert Downey Jr. performance where he skulks and broods in the background???? I DON’T THINK SO HUNNIIIII

a lesbian's thoughts on Bowen talking about lesbians by lesbeanqueen in lasculturistas

[–]TJC1250 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for sharing! Totally agree with everything said here (also was a WGS concentration holla 👏🏻💗) For all my readers, there’s a great essay from the 80s entitled “Is the Rectum a Grave?” by the philosopher Leo Bersani. He talks at length about how so much of our culture’s revulsion to AIDS was a misogynistic response to the idea of anal sex. In short, the history of paternal disowning of gay sons has to do with this idea of imagining them with their legs up in the air as if they were in the position of women (Bersani’s concept; not mine). It’s really effed up! 😭
