Felt a lil twinge of tokenzation

I’m sorry but I felt bad for Jahmani not only because of how unforgivably rude JJ was to him, knowing he likes her and leading him on while pursuing someone in a literal relationship ship (could be a whole other post). They brought him in for a sports competition, they hype him up as their brother but I felt like he was as excluded from “inclusivity” all around as Krista was for a bit with those two girls (self proclaimed gurls girls, unapparent to any viewer worldwide).
Bringing in one Black guest for one competition segment feels like a diversity checkbox rather than genuine inclusion and it just felt a bit off to me in general just based on on serving his experience there- I obviously can’t speak for him and can be wrong.
Even in marginalized communities this exists and I think it’s worth wondering about. The moral character of the cast, as entertaining as the show could be at times made me wonder if they all have such a high level of self orientation that they actually kinda suck. There’s degrees to that but still idkkkk 😅

A native language dilemma: Why is he fluent in Portuguese, that's amazing

OK. I do not like T[h]OHmas. I must acknowledge his fluency. There are a lot of boring issues existent or not within this relationship (I’ll be real and say they’re my easiest skip any episode) and I’m not a fan of his but it is kinda nice to see the US partner speak the native language of their partner idk I feel like we don’t see that often? If anything they don’t learn the language and don’t help the partner with English.

Marissa corrects Edward like he is a child, similar to how he sits in the back seat while an 11 year old [he seems so sweet but he's like a small child as far as appearances and ability to handle airbag impact lets say] is in the front.

Jihoon would have looooved Chat CPT, but I thank him for one of my favorite scenes with his translator who decided to say more or less fuck you bitch ill gamble again when he said something like im sorry or ill try my best.

But a lot of couples struggle to communicate even casually conversationally [this across all franchises] and I've always wondered what the plan is for that. The foreigners have learned English broken or not while many US partners are just like

English 👍🏽 good enough,

Your language, not interested

ThOmas is a self aggrandizing shithead who went out of his way to make her family feel uncomfortable even tho her concept of them staying there was ....? like girl what

BUT WOW OK he is fluent in Portuguese and I respect that how can you not

So the dilemma is that I admire that but he sucks

What other extreme language breakdowns does everyone remember, let's chat I'm looking to rewatch old seasons lol and ones with this to revisit and assess

What’s the plan Emmy?

So now she’s mad at Michol’s, a gay person of color, for not standing up to her in defaming and lets just call it slurring to save time, Brad, a person of color, and so now…she sees the opportunity to gain an ally ? [like what is going ??] in Molly? Which honestly it’s Lazy, Molly hates Michols. And for some reason went over to comfort you. Where are your actual friends for you to convince? Oh right

~ As a sidebar I was neutral negative on Molly last season, true neutral at the start of this season, but trending towards positive until this moment of idk what like Molly what are you doing girly lol ~

Emmy is terrifying….Emmy what is our endgame here? Is it for everyone to truly believe the made up shit about Brad and validate your feelings and for Michols to see how he too should have been a bigot? Like what’s up?

It was all worth it for this [not really but]

(Spoiler esque not really)

This has been one of the most exasperating, degrading storyline we have endured in a while. We opened the season with Brad explaining how Emmy betrayed him and here we are, watching episode ELEVEN and

But it has also promoted valuable discourse and it’s been incredible to see the cast, the fans, production [not you Leva] actually pick the right side. I’ve seen posts about how ‘brad’s actually a bad guy’ and honestly gtfo of here with that nonsense. Two things can be true at the same time. Sure maybe you’re right, who cares. What he’s had to experience throughout the season is absurd and empathy is the response.

HOWEVER omg this scene was incredible like to just watch everyone be completely done [they do come around after the commercial break lol and tell Michols to talk to her but let us just enjoy that moment anyway]

COMPLETELY done with her when she kicksoff her probably 3rd mental breakdown of the day to ensure the moment redirects to her and her feelings. Yay.

Let these photos live on in our hearts and in infamy 🫶🏽✊🏽

Hear me out. I can understand why in this moment Carl is questioning Kyle not investing financially, but I also kind of don’t understand the intensity and especially not putting the Loverboy soft drink on the menu when Kyle actually invested the most in Carl out of anyone by giving him a job when he was functionally unemployable, supporting him on his journey to being sober….and like made the non alcohol version of the drink (at least kinda I think?) in his honor?

Can we also remember when Carl asked Kyle to be the FLOWER BOY 😂 in his non wedding to Lindsay? After Carl OFFICIATED his wedding to 🐍🐍🐍 Voldemort?

Like cmonnnnn idk I think it’s too much of a reaction, I don’t think it’s fair
