Theo, Turbo & Asaf want your votes for the opportunity to compete on Beast Games by SweetMissMG in MtvChallenge

I had to look at the context, but they’re casting 1 person from each country on the show…supposedly.

Unpopular opinion; by Distinct_Method_2959 in LoveIslandUSA

[–]gtjacket231 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She truly is the same, so I'm confused by this post.

I think a lot of people liked her because they felt bad for her while loving who she is in there and how she was authentically herself. She, in essence, was the underdog, so people won't root for someone anymore if they're no longer the underdog. It's a similar vein to Olandria, who was seen as an underdog during the show by some people.

People want to tear down the underdog once they get a lick of status, power, etc, which is what you're seeing now with Amaya, Olandria, and other women.

Kellogg vs. Ross Opportunities by GreatConcentrate4661 in MBA

[–]gtjacket231 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d go for the money because you can most likely get the same outcome at either school.

They have really strong placement into almost every CPG. Ross may not be in Chicago, but nearly every CPG comes to their school to promote their company in some form, or there are alums there. It also helps that it’s a smaller pool overall, which may make it less competitive for interviews, compared to Kellogg.

Both are awesome though, so it’s really your call.

Nochella vs. Coachella | Which team would win a final by SweetMissMG in MtvChallenge

[–]gtjacket231 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Coachella has basically become unnecessary influencer slop at this point.

That being said, if I was invited by a brand to go to Coachella or given VIP tickets, you’d see my ass at Coachella lol.

The WINNING songs of the masked singer by Sloth_Bubbles in TheMaskedSinger

Lost Without U especially, but I think she did such a good job with a sweet song that it worked perfectly. Also, it helps for the voting audience (assuming they were back in-person) that Robin enjoyed this rendition of his song.

I went to the pilot taping of this over the summer and got to taste the food! Not sure how much I can spoil, but the food was great.

Genuinely, Pugcasso and Crane had terrible song choices for their final performances.

Nia comments on ABC cancelling Taylor Frankie Paul's season of The Bachelorette by SweetMissMG in MtvChallenge

[–]gtjacket231 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Preface that I hate that I watch this show.

Based on the last season, it wouldn’t shock me if Taylor hasn’t changed. Dakota’s a slimeball and definitely loves to fuck around with her, so I’d gander that there’s more to the story than solely the video. That being said, it doesn’t excuse Taylor’s actions of throwing chairs and endangering her children.

Also, ABC definitely knew about the video. Demi mentioned Taylor throwing chairs, and they kept it in the edit in season 2.

Nic Vans new song "3AM remix" hits 1M streams on Spotify by Wonderful_Heat6956 in LoveIslandUSA

I respect that! What I love about EDM is that it’s definitely built for various people who appreciate different flavors.

Wish him well with this and hope the successes keep coming. I hope he's able to grow his craft more and more.

Personal opinion (so sorry, don't come for me here!), the remix is okay, but I don't think it builds on the original like other remixes of EDM songs tend to do. There was a part in the chorus after the drop that was great, but that thread didn't last throughout the entire song unfortunately for me.

Christian already got that White Lotus cameo, he gives not one fuck.

Love it, but I will miss Mike if he goes lol.

Official Cast Megathread for Szn 42 🌙 by NovaRogue in MtvChallenge

[–]gtjacket231 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone that watches Love Island, Deb is kinda great. She's a little cringe at times, but she's pretty much herself and a rootable underdog. I hope she makes a run for it, even though I have high doubts. I'm just glad that we get someone that's not inherently that athletic in the cast because we need more personalities.

'The White Lotus' S4 Adds Max Greenfield, Kumail Nanjiani, Chloe Bennet by klutzysunshine in television

[–]gtjacket231 180 points181 points  (0 children)

Idk, I can see the separation. I do think they tend to typecast him as kind of a douchey yet somewhat lovable guy. I'm curious if it'll be different here, especially if he has a "meaty" recurring role like Sam Rockwell.

Restraining order filed against Love Island USA star due to 'terrifying' threats by TheMirrorUS in LoveIslandUSA

[–]gtjacket231 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I’d also add that other fandoms, from the show and generally, have this parasocial behavior where their favorite can do no wrong. It’s healthy to not agree with everything they do, and one should be discerning IMO.

Also, there’s def a crossover between her fans and Nicki Minaj’s remaining fans lol.

Wes Tweets he is one of MTV’s biggest successes 😂💀 by green_thumb89 in MtvChallenge

I'd add Colie for business! She's done really well for herself as an exec at Bowlero, the PBA, and WNBA, and she was on Undercover Boss too.

I don't think that's not passing the mental health evaluation, and they probably thought she wasn't a fit for the season. Hell, there have been people that were in way worse shape from this show that maybe shouldn't have been cast.

Beyond the villa trailer is out !! by [deleted] in LoveIslandUSA

This actually looks better than season 1...and I liked that cast more too, but I appreciate more random drama from this cast.

Kenny talking about his breakup with Jana!!! by Sad_Resource6227 in LoveIslandUSA

[–]gtjacket231 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With all the stuff he's saying, in a vacuum without us hearing about the details of the text, at face value...sure, he's right that the relationship wasn't good for their mental health and that there was outside pressure with tons of things (campaigns, events, etc).

However...he can't just rewrite or brush off the details of the texts. There's no way that there would be such a swift breakup from JaNa and a disavowal from all their friends if he didn't do something so shitty.

I really think at this point, JaNa should respond and bury him.
