Friends often ask if I watched the newest show. As extremely empathetic, it's hard for me to invest in new characters, so often the answer is no. And that is why I absolutely should not have started to watch the ANTM doc because I know all of those girls and all of them are me. But here we go.

That viral moment from Super Bowl LX (February 8, 2026) was indeed real. After a couple sent Bad Bunny an invitation to their wedding, the superstar "pulled a reverse Uno" and invited them to tie the knot live on stage during his halftime performance at Levi's Stadium.

What was meant to silence these ranchers brought them national attention, from rallies at the Colorado Capitol to a feature in Jordan Peele’s High Horse. Now they’re working with lawmakers to push for legislation and are thinking of running for office.
