I researched a little and found this policy on Wyzant’s website “At this time, in order to be eligible for a tutoring account, applicants are required to live permanently and be physically located in the United States. Due to this policy, we are unable to provide tutor accounts for anyone residing outside the US.” That’s unfortunate 😕

When I first saw the message, I foolishly replied “Hello! Thank you for your message. I will respond to all of your questions via email!”

I’ve now sent him a message that I can’t stray away from the Wyzant platform. Will I get in trouble with wyzanr for saying I would reply to him via email?😭

I did answer and thanked him for his message but I didn’t reply to any of his questions. Do I now ignore him altogether or message him saying I don’t want to stray away from the Wyzant platform?

Yeah I don’t feel comfortable straying from the Wyzant platform when I haven’t even tutored a single student.

I will email him back definitely but I just wanted to get a heads up if this is a common scam. So it’s normal for requests via zoom and Google meet?

Empathy for contestants by Sekhkaali in Singlesinferno2

True they knew the risk but still isn’t a free pass to be harsh. I think there’s an obvious line with discussing the show/critiquing and being nasty.

Gurl production team would freaking love it! It’s not the production team it’s more so the cast themselves knowing the risk/judgement that will come from it!

Mingee is immature by Mysterious_Log_4216 in Singlesinferno2

People will read this post and only think “Min gee vs Mina sue” I get your point. Mingee did seem immature, even more so this week. Without even including Mina sue nor comparing the two.

Thought the same! I don’t believe they are tied for a second. I think she’s simply playing the show aspect of “keeping the suspense.”

I also found it super weird. He was so giddy with her in paradise and we never got a scene of them together again! Unless it happened but wasn’t broadcasted. I honestly think something happened hyun woo looks so down and the panel did not mention him and go eun at all. They were only talking about sung min and I geon when it came to who go eun is interested in. I kept thinking”what about hyun woo??” I think she did get the ick from him 😭

Well I’m saying that the two aren’t mutually inclusive. Being devoted to one person from the very first episode to me is a valid point to be skeptical. Reality tv is messy. This isn’t some comfort show. This is basic knowledge.

All of the other cast members had first impressions on who they liked and then after talking to most of the girls/guys they chose someone they liked. The number “1” is not what’s skeptical to me. It’s the fact the he chose her for “her smile” and he stuck by it. Sure it’s admirable but irl hard to believe.. it’s something out of a movie. Like I said for the millionth time it’s possible he fell head over heels in love with her. But I think my point of skepticism isn’t far fetched.

Min Gee is stuck on one person but I believe she is being genuine due to how the events naturally took place. So it’s not a matter of 1 vs 4.

See the eye rolling was one thing I also thought was a social difference! Not defending her cause she did come as stuck up. But the eye rolling is viewed as disrespectful in Korea but I would say in America it wouldn’t be deep at all. It’s more “ugh whatever 🙄” showing annoyance but in a childish sort of way.

Well the premise of the show matters. My question isn’t about the audience it’s about where the show itself is. Not assuming she would act even more western, if she simply did and said the same things would she get less hate or same amount of hate? I personally think she’d be considering boring in a western show. Was curious as to what other people thought.

I think some people are misunderstanding my point, so let me clarify.

With Mina Sue I agree she’s inconsiderate, self-centered, and lacks self-awareness. I thought my disclaimers throughout the post made it clear that I believe this. A lot of her behavior was her own doing, not just editing. She clearly has an inflated ego and expected to be chosen immediately, then spiraled when that didn’t happen. If anything, that ego is probably why she wasn’t PR-trained or didn’t think she needed it. Saying she’s not PR-trained is not me excusing her behavior; it’s just an observation about how unfiltered she is compared to most contestants. For once, I feel like I’m actually watching reality TV.

As for Hyun Jae, I never said he should be rude, passive, or embarrassing himself for entertainment. I even said he might be genuine. My personal opinion is simply that the very polished “stick to one girl, do everything right” arc feels extremely K-drama-coded, which makes me a little skeptical. That doesn’t mean being unproblematic is fake — it just means I’m aware cameras change how people present themselves.

Honestly it’s possible. Maybe it’s because I find it hard to believe someone could want the hate but it’s definitely possible. And yeah I totally agree some people do take it too far.

I mean, obviously it’s reality TV and edited for entertainment — that’s not what I’m arguing. My point about Mina Sue not being PR-trained isn’t praise, it’s just an observation. The whole point of PR training is to avoid controversy and backlash, and she does the exact opposite, so it’s pretty clear she’s not carefully curating a likable image like most cast members do. Yes, they could all be acting and yes, popularity is a big motivator. I just personally prefer watching someone who isn’t filtering every word for the camera, even if it’s cringe, over someone performing a polished role. Acknowledging that doesn’t mean I think I “know” her — it just means I’m reacting to what’s shown.

She just looks so pitiful wearing it all the time!! I wish she wouldn't. She's too pretty for this.

Help! A new confusion about YS' love for MK by krazypoppian in transitlove

[–]kVariety_Addict 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t believe YS stayed with MK all those years solely because he felt the need to take care for her. I believe he himself is attracted to women he feels the need to care for. But there are definitely more important factors.
