I just started watching Gossip Girl and honestly... I'm pretty much hooked. I had forgotten how slut-shamey TV was back in the early 2000's-2010's though.

Those were the good ole days where people would get entertainment from slut-shamey shows

Same-same with Veronica Mars .
Nikita (2010) Straightforward action show . Oddly lacking in mystery for a spy show .

Yeah, I'm still bummed out there wasn't more Dark Angel
The Traitors on @Cohen recc. Slow to start, but it's really sucked me in! I am on ep 4 now and the dynamics have gotten interesting. The host is campy and dramatic haha, a far cry from his Underbelly character!
 
Nooooo Michelle Trachtenberg* showed up on Gossip Girl. I knew it would happen but didn't think it'd be till season 3-4. She's only been in three eps so far and I had to Google it to see how many eps total she is in, I've started the count down (3 of 27, only 24 to go)


*I don't think she makes a good 'bad girl', I sw her on Criminal Minds and it was just terrible. She is much better in other type roles.

Nah, babe, that's just me... my banner is but a distraction so you don't notice me sniffin' your Jimmy Choos
Michelle Trachtenberg also showed up in one episode of Sleepy Hollow.
She had multiple episodes of Weeds, after the show went downhill... she didn't help to elevate it.

Yeah, the first 2 or 3 were slow.. with so many contestants. But as people keep getting murdered, it starts to pick up! We binged the whole season this weekend!
 
The Great Soul Food Cook-Off

The food looked tasty in the thumbnail, lol. I wanted to watch a reality show where I didn’t have to think.

And this one guy is killing me with his wardrobe choices 💀 Chris really out here wearing sewn up bell bottom jeans and fire hydrant red shoes. With a plaid tie too 💀💀💀

Everyone else is wearing normal clothing and he’s looking like an actor in a 90s/early 00s high school film. Like he just walked off the set of Spider-Man 2002 😭🤣
 
Ugh, finished the first episode and I’m really not impressed. Probably not gonna keep going.

Some of the contestants are really shallow and judgmental about other dishes. It’s just ugly to watch and it’s so fake when they want to act all happy when people win. Like Tirzah said Dorian needed to go home, but when Dorian got the biggest thumbs up from the judges, Tirzah wants to be like “oh man I knew you were amazing!” TIRZAH, make up your mind! 🙌 Two-faced jerkwad.

The bigger problem though is the fact that they literally sent a guy home for being “too traditional” with his soul food. Like…isn’t the point of soul food that it is comforting and nostalgic? Why are we sending people home because it isn’t something you’d get at a 5 star Italian joint. Feels like there is a major identity crisis with the show not knowing what it wants to even be about. Soul food is all over this thing but they got these renowned next gen chefs and are actually putting people in the bottom for not being on the bleeding edge of the soul food frontier. 💀 If ever there was a competition for random home cooks to participate in, it should’ve been this one. I can totally see them telling people to go home because they didn’t do some asinine thing like use liquid nitrogen on their collard greens lmao

Reminds me of why I loved the barbecue show on Netflix. Great BBQ Showdown or something. Do something new, do something traditional, but the point was just doing something excellent. The last two contestants were this really traditional southern woman and this young black guy who added an awesome Jamaican spin to his BBQ. I felt like you saw people be able to experiment with their own style and it made for an engaging competition.

Here, the winning dishes look like instagram fodder instead of actual soul food. If you aren’t like everyone else, you’re outta here! What a disappointment.

My fave masterchefAU quote when the food looks shit "well, the flavours are there"

It sounds like Neo Soul instead of traditional Soul. It should be traditional Soul mixed with French influences.
Quantum Leap Season 4
It starts off with one of the best episodes of the show.

Orphan Black Series 1 (rewatch)
