Rob Cesternino stuns in new cover art for RHAP where he has built the biggest community of reality TV fans in existence and will continue being an entertainment icon for YEARS to come despite Taylor Swift’s mother-in-law having a lapse in judgement in a Scottish castle. #TheTraitorsUS

Imagine if “The Mask” was horror, and instead of a mask it’s a wig that turns the wearer into a vigilante drag queen!

We’re trying to raise $14,000 to start production in January! If you are able to support/share, please do!

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

One thing that has become really clear since yesterday is that we live in at least two different realities. Talking to a friend who only knew Charlie as a Christian motivational speaker because that's all that ever came across her feed. Showed me videos I've never seen before of him saying perfectly reasonable and empowering things.

I showed her videos she'd never seen before of his racism, misogyny, homophobia, advocating for violence against specific groups of people. She was horrified by his remarks about Pelosi's husband's attacker being bailed out and celebrated for his violent act. She was horrified by a number of things that he said, but she had never seen or heard them before, the same as I had never seen or heard the generalized clips of him sounding like a perfectly nice loving man and father.

Neither of us had a whole picture of this man. I mentioned he was a known white supremacist and she thought I was joking.

She talked about him giving a speech about finding your purpose and doing good in the world and I thought she was joking.

I saw why this friend was mourning the loss of a person she thought was a good person.
My friend, bless her, saw why I feel the way I do about him. We understood each other better. In spite of a multi-billion dollar internet machine specifically focused on keeping us apart. Because we talked to each other with the desire to listen and to learn rather than the desire to change someone else's mind or to be "right".

None of those motivational things he said change my opinion about him because they don't erase the negativity, the subtle calls for violence, the belittling and denigrating of other races religions genders etc. His negative and blaming comments about homeless people, the poor, and victims of domestic violence. His comments about rounding up people who didn't think like him and putting them in camps where their behavior could be corrected. That time he said empathy was a made-up word he didnt believe in. That other time he said the Civil Rights Act was a mistake. The time he said most people are afraid when they get on a plane and see that there's a black pilot. His anti-vaccination rhetoric and his active campaigning against people being allowed to wear masks for their own health. His open support of fascism and white supremacy. To me, all of those are fully unchristian sentiments. Those are undeniable and just one of them would be a deal-breaker for me. All of them together are a picture of a man who was polarizing,

enraged a lot of people and rightly so, but even with all of that I would never wish upon him or especially his children the end that he got.
Oh, and my friend had never heard, and God help me I don't know how she escaped the news, but she had never heard of the Minnesota legislators who were shot in June. The husband and wife and dog who were killed, one after throwing themselves over their child to protect the child. The other couple who somehow survived.

Politically motivated attacks specifically because they were democrats. She learned about those shootings that happened months ago because I showed her Charlie Kirk's comments about them. The kidnapping plot against a female Midwestern Democratic governor. The assassination attempt against Pennsylvania's democratic governor. All things Charlie had plenty to say about while supporting the Second Amendment and bashing the Democratic party. She didn't know about any of it because we're all living in two different worlds and none of us have the whole story.

Great commentary from @taranarmstrong.bsky.social and @itsmelissaaa.bsky.social re: Rachel's "elimination" on tonight's Stockwatch

#BB27 #RHAP

Screenshot of text. It reads: "Melissa: This is completely different. This is just getting kicked out to get kicked out. This is not getting evicted; this is not the people rising up and deciding they had enough of Rachel or whatever. This is just...nothing, and it’s so disrespectful to Rachel. She came back. She came back after all this time to play a full season! You do not get that from alumni! We’ve been begging for that for years, like, to have everybody come back and do all this stuff and whatever, and every alumni is always like, ‘I’ll just come back for, like, two weeks’ – which I get, I get – but Rachel was willing to come back for the full season, away from her family and everything, and this is what she gets? You think any alumni are ever going to come back now? No! They’re never going to come back. If I was an alumni, there’s no chance you’d get me back, because of some stunt you guys could pull like this. That’s crazy! No! And now she has to sit in the jury house, her worst fear! This is just garbage!" The second quote reads: "Taran: Rachel could do any show. She has done other shows. Other shows pay more. They treat you better, and they take less time, and you win more money. Rachel wanted to do this show – I presume because she loves it. But this is not it; she didn’t leave via the mechanisms of this show."

Thank you to Rob Cesternino, Taran Armstrong, & the entire #RHAP team for the incredible day of content you have planned for us today. Live feed updates & The Slop, followed by a special show honoring Rachel, ending in the Stockwatch? Chef’s kiss. This is exactly what our weary hearts need

Mickey gives her thoughts on Rachel, saying, "I believe in equality. I think all people are created equal. And I don't think she lives or breathes that model, especially in the house."

Vince’s defense to everyone in any situation is basically “I’m pathetic!” And they all believe it… because that has become his perception. I don’t think he can ever win a jury vote.
