Trump’s gigantic narcissistic ego shields him from any need for external libations.

Yeah, there have been a decent number of non-winners that have had real careers. A lot of it is due to increased exposure from the show so this all feels a bit disingenuous. I understand that Tyra herself didn’t shepherd their careers but the show definitely helped them!

a girl i knew in high school (same small class) was on antm last year, got eliminated first, and is now famous on social media/doing campaigns for nike/in music videos

The American version of Top Model is purely for entertainment purposes. Tyra has said she wanted to make a good show. I don’t think she cared about the girls becoming successful. The international versions of this show actually produces top models. I think the American version has never had a winner who went on to…

That would be an annoying tri-fecta. A New York vegan crossfitter. Even better if he was educated at Hah-vahd.

It’s like how people from New York have to work how they’re from New York into every conversation. Or vegans or crossfitters. Guh. Shut the fuck up. We don’t care.

This.

At this point, I think that Top Chef is the only reality competition show that reliably provides a massive career boost to winners and close runners up? That said, they kind of cheat in that their contestant base is reall well accomplished before even going on the show (many have already been nominated for Beard…

No...I think they saw some she had personally posted, BUT that is one of the bigger differences between her and some of the other girls. She already had an online presence. If I remember correctly, that’s how ANTM found her to begin with. So what she got from the show might be quite different from what someone who…

So a photographer saw her picture because of the show and launched her career yet the show had nothing to do with launching her career? Cool Winnie.

He should try drinking with people. The conversations are much more interesting.

Trump has never drank alcohol. Pills and cocaine on the other hand.

“I like to drink with cigars.”

At least Rudy may have the excuse of drinking. It blows my mind every time I remember Trump is a teetotaler, since he acts so drunk in his everyday life.

And like Donald Trump himself, Rudy Giulianni used to sound a lot more coherent years ago before the onset of dementia.

Yes THANK YOU. I lost all respect for Swift with this situation. Kanye told her about the “I made her famous” line and she approved it, then she made that awful Grammy speech all about how he is trying to take “credit for her accomplishments” She’s so gross and clearly has no morals. I’m not sure how anyone is…

So fine. Rudy was completely sober when he completely came apart in multiple interviews over multiple days.

The issue isn’t that he’s with a white woman, which keeps being highlighted like that’s why sisters are mad while the fact that he has said some ridiculous shit keeps being glossed over for some reason.

Excellent article, as usual. Of course a person is still Black, and still having a Black experience no matter who they like to spend time with.
