i love that Pete does not clock Tan’s passive sarcasm that Tan SUPER does not want to talk about balls & Pete happily continues engaging Tan on the subject

For the first time I am not feeling the outfits that Tan has picked.
― Yerac, Monday, 25 March 2019 18:06 (five years ago) link
It's like Pete's body is rejecting all those clothing choices.
They seem less prescriptive this season, or is it that they know they are dealing with people who have much bigger problems and need to be handled more carefully?
Camo lady likes camo, Tan gets her camo. Camp manager guy doesn't wash, so they get him clothes that don't smell when he sweats. I fully expected them to tell that man he needed to get his act together and wash more often.

Jezebel just did a write up today that near the end kind of touched on this^^^. I don't really agree with the entire piece, some of it feels muddled on my two quick reads. And I prefer the episodes that aren't focused on the heteronormative men.

I'm glad someone brought up in the comments that Karamo is a licensed therapist and social worker and hates his culture expert title on the show.
― Yerac, Monday, 25 March 2019 18:23 (five years ago) link
at least Tan didn't try to make anyone wear that bizarre belted sweatshirt look he had going in a few episodes. it looked like he was wearing a seatbelt?
they should change Karamo's title for sure. i also think it would be helpful if they hooked these people up with more long term therapy options (finding someone can be the biggest hurdle) but i assume there is a HIPAA reason for that

I was maybe a wee bit harsh on Antoni upthread - compared to me he’s a flamboyant, expressive, extrovert!
Good points in the thread and in the comments on that article about the role Karamo plays, and how “culture” is such a reductive label for it. I don’t think I’d properly realised his work/education background but it totally makes sense.

The opening with Karamo getting pulled over was very misjudged.

i need a tears transfusion after the first ep and then the second ep and then the little skater girl i love the way they are using karamo this season, going deep with some stuff, it’s good.
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 21 July 2019 06:27 (four years ago) link
yeah, karamo setting up the meeting between wesley and the guy who shot him was incredible
In an email to Men's Health, Karamo said that up until five minutes before walking into the restaurant for their face-to-face meeting, Wesley and Maurice were both about to walk away. "I was navigating both of their fears and telling them to trust me," Karamo wrote. "The conversation they had lasted almost two-and-a-half hours. But in the end they were able to shed light on the violence epidemic that is facing so many communities, while also finding healing and closure."

The 2nd and 3rd episodes goddamn. Wesley is so amazing.
Lucy and her dad broke my heart. Also Michelle Kwannn. <3 <3
― Roz, Sunday, 21 July 2019 08:31 (four years ago) link
It was Wanda who really broke my heart. For her to develop a tough, no-frills life and let nothing in, presumably in order to protect herself and her girls, and then to find out that they are actually scared of her and that she didn't do as good a job as she thought she did... that was hard to watch. She genuinely did not seem to understand what was happening. I hope she and her daughters get some further help.
― trishyb, Sunday, 21 July 2019 10:23 (four years ago) link
I loved Wanda but she seemed to need something much deeper than they could give her in a week - I got the feeling that her stepping back from her job was more lip service than anything? And she was so hurt by that talk with her daughters ... like maybe Karamo should be deployed to stay an extra month with her lol idk

I know people rag on Antoni but i like him a lot. To be fair his remit doesn't really enable him to do much because changing diets and health takes years, not a week.
Although I still remember the peanut salsa that was supposed to be eaten with your hands.
In other news, I saw a French Tuck in the wild! First time and probably last time.
― Funky Isolations (jed_), Sunday, 21 July 2019 23:41 (four years ago) link
Antoni got pretty real w Wanda which was the first I’ve really see him challenge a guest, which was interesting tho maybe ill-advised
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 22 July 2019 00:42 (four years ago) link
Yeah, he was NOT comfortable around her.
It was weird to see dairy farmer guy at the end. It was obviously a very clever makeover for the team to do: as they said, small farms like that need to attract new business, and that means learning how to deal with townies.

This is weird bc I've been doing them (along with literally everyone else) since the late 80s when I was in jr high and high school and we all wore oversized men's tshirts. I still do it! I think they just put "French" on it to sound fancy.

Kenny's new dog was so well behaved. It broke my heart.
The Antoni and Wanda scene was so uncomfortable and confusing.
― Yerac, Monday, 22 July 2019 13:52 (four years ago) link
the whole wanda episode left a bit of a bad taste - the usual method for creating a good episode just seemed to go wrong in all kinds of unexpected ways and i ended up feeling kinda worried for the relationship between her and her daughters, she just seemed so shocked that her perception of them being three inseparable buddies was just not how they saw it at all

thought Wesley's shooter could've at least said something like "I felt justified at the time doing what I did, but man seeing that you're still in a wheelchair from something I did in heat of the moment gives me pause". That Wesley still got closure from that encounter...props to him.
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Tuesday, 23 July 2019 00:52 (four years ago) link
From the Karamo article, Wesley and the guy were there for 3 hours talking.
― Yerac, Tuesday, 23 July 2019 01:39 (four years ago) link
the way that shooting went down still seems v bizarre to meit’s cool Wesley forgave him but i’d be like, “ok and all with your explanation but you fuckin SHOT me, dude. a LOT of times. over nothing? what the hell!?”
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 23 July 2019 01:57 (four years ago) link
exactly! Def seems like being the victim of the shooting changed him a lot more (for the better) than being the shooter changed the other guy.
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Tuesday, 23 July 2019 02:39 (four years ago) link
maybe that's the defense you build up to deal with what you did to someone. "I didn't want to do it but he left me no choice" or whatever his rationale was.
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Tuesday, 23 July 2019 02:40 (four years ago) link
WOW. Okay. I got a very strong "anger" read off Wanda during that confrontation with her daughters. I could FEEL the defensive shutters slamming closed. Also, Antoni is my fave and I love him but he was not ready for that kitchen scene with her. He wasn't just pushing her--he was in his own feelings.
And then her almost violent renunciation of the drill team at the end, which hadn't been discussed with her assistant directors? That's not a transition plan. That's just plain rude and selfish--and I think still coming from anger.
All in all, a strange episode.

otmthe thing Wanda said after the meeting w her daughters to Karamo, that she was surprised that her daughters “required” love was very telling.her subtext being “i gave them everything but obviously THAT wasn’t enough” super defensive

should there still be a bracket wherein they admit that the life makeover didn't work this time? because it can't all be "yes queen" success.
