Does anyone watch The Family Stallone?? I am watching it on Hulu.
I don’t know what to say. I feel like they aren’t as close as they want to make it seem. Maybe it just because it’s new and the cameras but the relationships seem so forced.
Is this before or after Sylvester Stallone and his wife almost divorced? Or during?
I strongly suspect Ryan bc she has a very similar edit as last season's Mole. None of her confessionals are talking about strategy or who she suspects-- she basically just describes the scene or tells us what happened. I forget exactly what happened that made me start to suspect her, but I picked up on her in the first episode.

Hopefully I'm wrong bc I'd rather be surprised.
I think everyone will be surprised if it’s not her!
We finished DCC and while I liked Netflix's style, it still seems like such a problematic organization. I know they want both women who are talented and look good in that uniform, but I kind of wished they had talked more about how they have evolved to not be total bullies to these women.
And I would have liked to see more about other squad members. Focusing on Reece was odd. She and her fiance appeared to be the poster children for I have college degree, but no other goals. Unless there was some sort of southern Christian thing they were trying to push w/o saying it out loud.
I'm glad Victoria moved to NYC and left the org. She needs to spread her wings and get out of town. She did the Be There in Five podcast and I really am not a fan of Kate Kennedy, I may still listen to it.

My takeaway was that the organization hasn't evolved at all and they ARE total bullies to these women, plus only pay them a fraction of what they ought to be making. I thought that was the point of the documentary?

Yes, but netflix wasn't as overt as CMT was. So it seemed like they were attempting a bit of a shift in the portrayal.

Ah okay. I never watched the CMT version, although I've now seen a few clips courtesy of tiktok. What's wild to me is if they come off as even bigger bullies in the CMT version, they obviously don't just don't care. I think I heard that they have producer credits on that show whereas no input on what went into the Netflix doc.
I watched a few seasons of the DCC CMT show and the blatant body-shaming and critical comments about the women's bodies happened a lot more frequently IIRC. It seems they have either toned it down somewhat or those comments were not aired or filmed.
The pay discussion was infuriating. "They do this because they are passionate about it." Yeah, sure, you could say that about the football players, yet they make millions.
I also didn't like some of the discussion around the woman (I think her name was Sophy but don't remember 100%) who was inappropriately touched by the camera guy. Kelly said something after it was determined they couldn't bring charges against him to the effect of, "What she thinks happened" and "It's disappointing but we just need to move on." Ick. She doesn't "think" it happened. It DID happen. Why can't we just believe a woman when she says something happened?
H and I have really been enjoying season 2 of The Mole. We are all caught up. After the most recent episode, I have suspicions of Deanna. I felt she has kind of "flown under the radar" and acted at times like "Oh I'm so scared, I can't do this stuff." Then when she picked up the phone in the last episode and pretended she couldn't hear him and let the line go silent for a few seconds, wasting time.....just suspicious to me.
Also.....
SPOILER BELOW if you don't want to know some stuff I researched about one of the players
She has not been totally truthful about who she is not only to the contestants but to us. She said she is getting started with websleuthing. I thought she looked familiar so Googled. She isn't just getting started. She is somewhat well-known as she helped bring down the "Don't Fuck with Cats" guy and was in that documentary and I think I've seen her in something else when they interviewed her about being a Websleuth. She also has a podcast. Here is a link: www.esquire.com/entertainment/tv/a30344778/dont-fuck-with-cats-baudi-moovan-john-green/
IIRC in season 1, there was a somewhat popular streamer who was a player and not the Mole, so it's possible they brought her on as just a player, but it also gives me even more pause about her on top of her actions that seem suspicious.

Kelli is 100% controlling the narrative on the Netflix one too. There is soo much that is not being shown.

We just got through the rest of the DCC season. Oh my god, the gaslighting of Victoria. Hang that uniform on the no rack and find a purpose. I hope she can be happy. She didn’t deserve any of what they threw at her in their last conversation. How about you give her a path forward to her goals instead of shitting all over her.
Reece’s baby voice is too much for me. Big Dugger vibes from that one.
Kelcey seems like a really cool person.
Anna Kate and Caroline are such a strange duo. Big sis is clearly over it and being sidelined by injury. I feel bad for her, but damn, girl. Chill. Your little sister is like, the least favorite rookie.
Anyway, I’m still squarely in the “I don’t get it” camp. Like sororities and IPAs. I just don’t get it.
Will watch the Mole later. I read some compelling arguments for the Mole to be someone other than Ryan and think I was swayed. Looking forward to the finale.
Did you guys watch Claim to Fame?
Naomi's clue made her obvious. I also accidentally read a spoiler on Gracie Lou. No clue on anyone else.
My son took one look at Shane (chicken on a chain) and thought DJ Khalid but the 2 truths and a lie didn't match up.
Apparently Dedrick said his last name? I missed that part entirely but they were talking about it on Rob has a Podcast. Could be a big spoiler IF he shares the last name with his famous person.
Very happy with the finale! I was actually relieved it wasn't Ryan-- I wonder if she didn't give great interviews, or if they intentionally edited her like last season's Mole as a red herring. I had read a very compelling argument for Sean on reddit before the finale, but honestly I could have made an argument for most of them being the Mole right up to the end. I really liked this season! In retrospect, his biggest strength was aggressively throwing suspicion on others-- like when Ryan misspoke on the call about a "statue", Sean was the one who harped on that detail relentlessly. Same with the laser beam/statues when he was yelling at Muna and Hannah about the ropes.
When they revealed him as an undercover cop, I thought he was definitely NOT the mole because it would be too obvious. Glad I was wrong. Well played!
jinkies, I watched Claim to Fame! I'm proud of myself because as soon as someone said "The Breakfast Club?" when the wall opened up, they cut to Naomi and I guessed her relative right away. That pretty much never happens to me because I am SO BAD at celebrity who's who.
Re: Dedrick. My DH, upon seeing him for the first time, is like, "He totally looks like a [last name]." And then yes, he said that last name at the very end of the episode, the morning after the faceoff when they're all in the kitchen/dining room. And it 100% tracks with his 2 truths and a lie, which were - uncle, singer, Best Rock Song multiple times.
The one girl is a dead ringer for Miranda Lambert but her relative is her father, who is a singer, but her lie was that he's won a Tony.
I wasn't sure what a Peabody award is - I thought it had something to do with writing. So my guess for Bianca was Toni Morrison.

Just finished The Mole. H and I had been suspicious that that person was the Mole early on but then as the season continued, they went farther down our list and others became the front runner for me. Definitely a fun show!
I’m also a Claim to Fame fan. Agree with everyone else that I figured out Naomi. H got Miguel spoiled for him online - I would have never guessed his person.

I hate how Love Island has a recap at the beginning of their show. In their own words, it’s on “everyday but hump day,” so why would we need a recap of what happened last night??
I'm getting caught up on Love Island and I'm LOVING the reading of tweets! Man, that was so fun to watch. And Kendall gives me the ick, too. I really don't like that guy. I'm really not rooting for any of these people, lol.

I hope that Kordell and Serena win.
I love Kordell, he is such a sweet guy. I just don't think Serena is into him! Like, at all. She only wants him when someone else wants him.

In the words of Maura, “she’s a slow burn!”
Haha, so am I! I related to her so much when she said that, but she keeps going back and forth on him. Then she said she's not intellectually stimulated by him. OUCH! I really like Serena, but I feel bad for Kordell because he keeps getting hurt.
