I’m out on #TheTraitorsUS now obvs, but if they eliminate a certain bootlicker who sucks all the oxygen out of every room he’s in, I may dip back in later on.

Speaking of things I’ve waited months to stream that were not what I was hoping for: “People We Meet on Vacation”.

Regardless of how it shook out, there’s one thing about #TheTraitorsUS that will still make it a highlight of 2026: the look on @robcesternino.bsky.social’s face in this scene. He’s cheesing so hard, so excited to be there, and the smile does not leave his face the entire time. Love it for him.

“Jess, how is it going to be for you to watch the rest of this season of #TheTraitorsUS?”

Mood. #TheTraitorsUS

Well, goodnight, folks. #TheTraitorsUS

Mama Kelce has a strong glasses game. And you all know I love a strong glasses game. #TheTraitorsUS

SO HELP ME I WILL CANCEL PEACOCK #TheTraitorsUS

Someone call Merriam-Webster, it’s January 8th and already we have a strong contender for word of the year in “kitchuation.” #TheTraitorsUS

Alan is really giving Prue Leith with this graveyard-challenge look. #TheTraitors

So do we call Other Rob “the Rob that doesn’t suck” or “the Rob that sucks even more”? #TheTraitorsUS

GET ME A GIF OF ROB SAYING “so fucking hard” RIGHT NOW #TheTraitorsUS

Anderson Cooper walked so Alan Cumming could run. #TheTraitorsUS #MolePatrol

I don’t know whose smile is bigger, @robcesternino.bsky.social on #TheTraitorsUS or me because Rob is back on my television for the first time in two decades.

My kid just handed his father an empty glass and asked for a “milky refillky” and I’m pretty sure that’s the best thing I’m gonna hear all day.

Staying in a house with a wood stove and my spouse has spent the past half hour hauling in firewood, and I quite dearly want to call him the junior deputy firewood bitch, but that is definitely a reference he will not get. #Survivor

My new headcanon is that #Survivor started stranding people in their street clothes because Jeff didn’t like it when people were twinning with him. (Don’t @ me, I know that didn’t start until Season 7.)

Rewatching #Survivor Borneo for podcast purposes and I really need to talk about the five-minute sequence in episode five that is Richard Hatch messing with a sea krait. He straight-up yeets it into the ocean by its tail to watch it swim. Obvs this hits differently in 2025.

Clearly Spelling Bee doesn’t watch #AmazingRace.

What do you do if you get “hey” and there’s an odd number of gelt in the pot? Nobody at this party, including the three Jewish people, knows for sure. #dreidel

It’s true we blew straight past our dinner plans recording this. We had no idea how long we were going to go but we were having such a good time it didn’t even matter. Hope y’all enjoy!

Super cathartic to get to say all the things. Thanks for this deep dive @amikebloomtype.bsky.social and @jessliese.bsky.social (we had no idea we talked for this long but I hope you take a listen 🥰) #tar38 #RHAP #gay youtu.be/jGFpc3Tezd4?...

If I never hear the words “started from the bottom” again I’ll be totally fine. Drake should send #Survivor a bill.

The muddy skid marks on the slide during the f5 immunity challenge is the grossest thing I’ve seen on #Survivor since the pizza pile.

Every time an ai chatbot gets something publicly wrong in an embarrassing way I like to think that’s some relic from something of mine it harvested.

Last night on the podcast @amikebloomtype.bsky.social said that Phil would be a great host for a kids show and I said “I think that did happen in the 90s.” I give you: 23-year-old Phil as a kids tv presenter in the most 90s thing that ever 90sed: youtu.be/ukneB8i1VU0?...

Look, I know how I’D change #AmazingRace. They know how to reach me, so it’s on them that they haven’t called. 🤣

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (I mean they seem like nice guys but ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.) #AmazingRace #TAR38

Well, that seems like an appropriate finish line for one team dominating the entire season with very little suspense. #AmazingRace

In the below post I almost said “if they end up in the Bronx I’m going to be extremely weirded out”

If they’d gotten Will Shortz to judge this task, it MIGHT have saved it for me. #AmazingRace

Waiting for one of these crossword answers to be “caltoru” #AmazingRace

Now feels like a good time to share my NYTimes crossword stats. #AmazingRace

I rarely watch #AmazingRace finales by myself at home. So I can’t tell you what the chance is that I would have fallen asleep during any other finale…but I’ve already nodded off twice during this one.

I don’t buy it for a second. Everyone who’s watched even one #AmazingRace finale knows that if you don’t literally see two teams in the same shot, it isn’t close.

They went from the neighborhood where my last job was to the neighborhood of the job I had before that. If I were running this #AmazingRace I would definitely get taken down by hubris.

Cookie Monster and Oscar don’t have legs. I’d rather see Big Bird and Snuffleupagus running #AmazingRace.

Okay this fabric task explains a lot about my forthcoming Friday night plans. #AmazingRace

Watching Cookie Monster cuddle Phil, I’m not sure which one of them I’m jealous of. #AmazingRace

Spandex House is right around the corner from two different bars where I went to TARCon back in the day. #AmazingRace

I’m waiting for someone to completely big-time Cookie Monster. “I’m sorry…you are?” #AmazingRace

Getting real tired of total nothing-burger #AmazingRace tasks that give teams no chance to catch up, like “adrenaline task that requires spectacle but no skill” and “take a taxi to this place and get a thing to take to another place.”

Look I know you’re all using #tar38 for your hashtag but I’ve been using #AmazingRace for 14 years and I’m the closest thing you have to an Amazing Race influencer so I’ll be over here when you all come back around. (This is facetious, don’t @ me.)

Honestly wouldn’t have been half as invested in #AmazingRace this season without Paige and Izzy.

I need to see Phil housing the cookie again. I watched it on Instagram avout 90 times. #AmazingRace

If they didn’t get Zohran to run a task in NYC, I guess Cookie Monster is a decent backup. #AmazingRace

Someone in the YouTube comments got mad because I took the lord’s name in vain on a podcast, to which I say, I’m glad this person has never interacted with me off the podcast because my everyday speech is, shall we say, often creatively embellished with colorful metaphors. #rhap

Phil: “if you think you can cancan kick it on the #AmazingRace…” Me: (throws the remote at the tv)

As someone who wasted about a month of my life on this puzzle (which was missing a piece), I felt personally attacked by this week’s #AmazingRace

I, too, have a life partner who would fall down a YouTube rabbit hole about Da Vinci bridges, as evidenced by the fact that he watched Phil intro the task and proclaimed it the coolest thing he’s ever seen on #AmazingRace.
