I'm doing it one, to feel good about myself, but two, for The Bachelorette. Normally, if you know me, I'm not in dresses. So I just kind of want to feel good in them. The touch-up procedure took place five days before filming the Season 3 reunion, demonstrating Taylor's deliberate preparation for her new role as the show's lead.

It's so incredible that everyone's getting these opportunities and going out and living their dreams, but my health has held me back from saying 'yes' to a lot of opportunities. It's definitely discouraging and frustrating, and it kind of holds me back in other places in my life, like my marriage with Jace.

Given that she first stepped in front of the reality TV cameras at 16, Kelly Osbourne has been used to public scrutiny for a long time. She was a UK size 10 when she first appeared alongside her family in MTV's The Osbournes, and the attention immediately focused on the teenage girl's weight.

I never really thought the way that I would show up and play Traitors would be linked to one of the most darkest and most horrible moments of my life. If you didn't follow my story and what I went through and you watched me as the Bachelor in 2019 and then all of a sudden you're tuning in in 2026 - I had an incredibly difficult couple of years. I've grown and I've changed and I've put so much work into myself and into my family.

It is frustrating to constantly be reduced to my sexuality, because there's so much more to me than my sexuality. In fact, me being bisexual is probably the most boring thing about me. It is completely my entire storyline and so many assumptions have been made in my portrayal.

It's very intense. I know when we made the show, the first year, when it took off. We're supposed to make 12 episodes or something. We wound up making 50 episodes the first year. We worked every single day except Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is really tense. You are living in, like, a motor home together and getting ready on location. And everybody, you know, you get a little edgy.

Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat is a documentary-style comedy that captures a corporate offsite event at a family-owned hot sauce company from the perspective of Anthony, a recently hired temporary worker.

A washed-up reality star and her live-in entourage of misfits scramble to rehab her image and reboot her career. When her estranged daughter unexpectedly moves into their crumbling Manhattan townhouse, the TV has-been is confronted with the one role she's spent her entire life avoiding: motherhood.

Veteran reality producer Joel Relampagos is working on a new show inspired by Heated Rivalry, claiming he's got five closeted hockey players from around the world "ready to come out" on a series that will see them living together & training to compete in the national championships.

Oh man, if you're watching the MTV version, it looks like it's pretty tough out there. But there is no amount of time in Laguna Beach that could have trained me for the Castle.

"I'm just happy as could be. I honestly think I'll make a good Traitor,"

Ron King, who co-founded the 75-acre Oscar's Place ranch in Hopland in 2021 with Phil Selway, now leads a team of more than 20 full-time employees who take in donkeys surrendered by owners or headed to auctions to be butchered for their hides. So far, the nonprofit has saved more than 400 donkeys, rehoming them to vetted adopters or letting the animals live out their lives on the ranch and another recently acquired property in Potter Valley.

"Cake Eater" chronicles Radke's journey through sobriety, grief and public scrutiny, as well as his search for joy "in a world that equates fun with alcohol." The memoir also offers an unfiltered look behind the scenes of reality television and how pursuing authenticity reshaped his life. "It was not easy to go back and dig in and talk about stuff that's painful and tragic and difficult," Radke told press earlier this month.

They're still reeling from the failure of their business with Whitney blaming Justin for taking them down the MLM rabbit hole. She resents him and is mad at herself for trusting him. Part of the reason this show is a success is that the women at its center understand that the secret formula is brutal honesty. Whereas lesser Housewives try to present the best version of themselves and hide the embarrassing skeletons in their closets,

At first blush, a form like reality TV and a show like The Bachelor might seem like an odd subject for a show about breaking the rules. How is it even possible to cheat on a show where the mechanics of competition are simply trying to get the lead to like you? The more cynical-minded might ask, Isn't this all scripted by producers anyway?

Something I've yet to reveal on Jezebel dot com is that-much to my own surprise-I'm a massive The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives fan. I have no issue with reality television, but outside of Real Housewives of New York City and MTV's Are You the One (the best reality dating show of all time, to be clear), nothing has ever really hooked me.

My absolute favorite is a newly sober disaster who's trying to be better but keeps getting in their own way. My second favorite is "unwilling or unable to play by the rules." This is Whitney. She's constantly saying the things you're not supposed to say. She treats group shoots like she's auditioning for a Tennessee Williams production. Her kayfabe is all over the place. It's magnetic!

Openness/Intellect is the Big Five trait most tightly bound to intelligence, and the strongest links to intelligence are facets like "intellectual engagement" and "unconventionality"; big brains like big questions, unusual ideas, abstract debate, and exploring how systems work (Anglim et al., 2022). We find it fascinating to learn new things and enjoy chasing knowledge so that we can level up our understanding of the world around us (Smillie et al., 2021).

The first season of The Celebrity Traitors was buoyed by the casting of gay comedian Alan Carr, who cemented his reputation as a national treasure in episode one after being selected as a Traitor. He was joined as a Traitor by queer musician Cat Burns and TV host Jonathan Ross. While initially being deemed as the least likely Traitor to succeed due to his propensity for sweating and inability to stifle laughter, Carr proved his detractors wrong by winning the show in the shocking finale.

really fun and gets on with everyone

This season of The Golden Bachelor is shaping up to be the most anodyne viewing of the fall. It's just a soothing, hourlong watch that washes over you like the waves are washing over Cindy and Mel on the beach. Is anything interesting happening? No. Are there shapes and colors on the screen that are paired with sounds and music? Yes.

All long-running competition reality television shows fall into the same trap. The longer the show is on the air, the more qualified the contestants. Potential competitors watch every episode of the show that exists, they study how the game is built in order to compete not with heart or passion or instinct, but with strategy. The problem with this is that now competitors on reality television shows are masters from the beginning.

She's absolutely stunning but I'm not sure if she does have a masculine side, so am I gonna fancy her? In this moment, I don't feel like I do. Sh*t,
