Your comments on being “a different type of attractive” are so relatable like there’s a difference between having a positive body image and thinking (incorrectly) that I fit the love island look

True. And honestly if everyone was insta hot or whatever, then too many people would look the same. That would just be weird and kinda boring.

RIGHT! There's a certain vibe I give off but it is NOT conventionally attractive/love island/'influencer' hot and that?

[@Mary1337]

@I'm So Tired Thank you for the long message! I'm not hot. I'm not sexy. IF we use the chart "what those words usually mean to a lot of people". Of course I'm hot/sexy in my own ways though, it is subjective. I fall into the cute-category. I eventually grew out of it and I don't really ever think about it. "Eventually I'm going to grow old and my looks will go away." very wise of you.

[@Ruinwyn]

@I'm So Tired I'm so tired of people going "we're dressing sexy for ourselves, not for other people ". Cool, are just interested in masturbation then or is your kink just to have others frustratingly drooling at you. The word sexy has the "sex" in it for a reason. When you dress sexy you try to express what type of partner you are looking for. You display what you like about you, so that you attract someone who likes those same features. I don't dress sexy for myself. I dress sexy for my husband, and the fact that he appreciates it does make me feel good. I don't and never have changed myself for him. Rather, what I like to display he likes, and vice versa, hence we started dating. Also, assuming that when people say they can't wear something, it's because it makes them feel ashamed is pretty reductive. Acknowledging what your body is like, doesn't mean you are ashamed of it. Years ago I commented to someone how much I hated that all jeans had become skinny, because I can't wear them because of my big calves. They felt the need to tell me, that they don't think there is any clothes that anyone should feel that they can't wear. I gave them a look and told them the problem wasn't that I was ashamed. The problem was that there was no way I could fit into them. I can't think of more apt example of making the mold flexible doesn't actually mean there isn't a mold.

[@yennefer440]

Yeah I agree sounds like a scam.

[@jessicah4462]

Same. Screams scam to me. It’s kinda genius, imo. Appeal to the greed and narcissism of “influencers” to shill your scam for you and amplify it. Takes nothing to do zoom interviews to establish legitimacy, throw up a site/rules/pages. Everything is hidden on the monetary side, people supposedly in the contest know nothing about anything, no news coming out, new people added expanding the pool of marks. Way too many red flags, imo. They made it look legitimate just enough to protect themselves with whatever country they ran this out of, which is another huge red flag. Tbh, I would be completely sketched out by these people at this stage if they did contact me with any type of travel arrangements, could end up trafficked. They were doing interviews without contracts being signed… About 10 years ago we were going to be on a reality show. We were sent contracts and ndas for everyone to sign that we even mentioned in the process otherwise it ended the process. Every step of the way new paperwork and agreements. They cover their butts 7 ways from Sunday. It ended up not happening, which I’m kinda glad, but happy for the experience on how these things work. They were also very time sensitive about the contracts. If I mentioned someone in a call it was, “ok, sending you a nda and contract, get it signed in 3 business days or we end this relationship.” Like, daaaamn, ok, lol. Also, how would this work when this “production company” would have zero rights over any platforms content? There would have to be contracts stacked on contracts to show clips. No? Scam. Imagine the money they could raise from all these influencers followers buying votes…yikes.

Their comments about charisma, presence and body language make me think that their idea of what a successful influencer is is very narrow. I don't think they understand that the influencers with the highest follower counts are the ones marketing to children and that adults care a lot more about the content than the charisma of the person delivering it. Like, a lot of the content I watch is just people in front of a camera talking about a subject.

[@zeekthegeek4538]

Exactly, kids have the most free time and are easily influenced lol

[@Tvd97]

Completely agree. A majority of the creators I watch now basically sit in front of a camera and talk. When I primarily watched gaming content, it was more about who played well than anything else. Yeah, charisma probably still helps even then, but body language?? Does anyone talk about body language other than the "are they telling the truth" body language channels?

[@lizb7271]

@@Tvd97 One of the let's players I regularly watch, SkadiLP, once started a video by talking for 15 minutes about the origins of hieroglyphs and their relationship to later writing systems. I find body language to ultimately boil down to 'this is why neuroatypical people are bad and untrustworthy' and 'despite everything he just said being demonstrably false, I think he's competent and trustworthy because he maintained eye contact and has a firm handshake'. Body language on the whole doesn't actually tell us very much.

it's why i think Big Brother and Survivor got so huge. the drama of course is the most interesting part to many, but it's usually a diverse set of people from different backgrounds, ages, and experiences stuck in one house for the summer. it's interesting to stick so many different personality types together, it's fun to watch that unfold. there's a cast member for everyone, and in the years that i was still watching BB i never looked at a cast and went 'okay i would never get along with any of these people' the way i do some other reality shows. casting the same types of people is a detriment imo, and i think a lot of people are going to have a hard time relating to some people on this show if they have done so.

[@despicablepenguin]

Ok maybe it's because you haven't watched BB recently but BB is not diverse, especially with how they cast now. They literally took all the interesting things off of BB to standardize it. BB has always had very attractive people for the most part (like same attractiveness, Hollywood attractiveness) which was fine because they had interesting people. I especially liked when they chose older people, especially older people from different backgrounds that were like the craziest people but now everyone in their recent casts are so boring. I have no idea why but they're usually 20 something's who have no personality whatsoever and are very Hollywood/influencer attractive (yk tv attractive. At least for the most part) which kind of leads into the boring part. If all their faces blend together when I look at the cast, even when I've watched the season, I say it's a bad cast. I did drop BB at 20? I think because everyone just felt samesys which defeated the point of Big Brother but I have picked it up again on the most recent season, 24 and so far the only interesting person is Taylor because she's a Ms Columbia USA/paegent queen and the nicest human being you'll ever meet, which tbh is a detriment to her game and then Paloma since she was the ultimate villain although she left because of mental health reasons (and she wasn't very nice on the show. When you say you would be friends with these people, I'm the opposite. I wouldn't be friends with a lot of these people, especially Paloma and turns out a lot of those people bullied cast members on the show and it wasn't shown in the show).

[@yeahyeahd]

@@despicablepenguin yeah i totally meant more of the early days than what it's become now. it's very much felt like a slap to the face to long time fans to see how they've done casting in more recent years. i did watch a few episodes and half seasons after BB16, but i think that was the last full season i sat through. like it wasn't perfect and there were definitely some problematic shit going on, but god.. the early days of it was so good. it felt unique to the other reality shows. now it's like a shell of it's former self.

What blush are you wearing? It’s stunning!😍 ETA: thank you for once again finding these things and investigating it. I hope those who won are able to use the experience to their advantage.

[@mistypuffs]

You sure do get involved in some unusual scenarios. Most people call shenanigans, but Amanda thinks ‘content either way’ ^^ Absolutely fascinating - ty

[@RedDotPink]

Unrelated but I just found you before college starts up for me again! I gotta say! You’re helping my out with getting through the weeks. Love the content 😌😌😌

[@AKA253]

I do really think the show would be cool to have a “girl next door” type on there.

[@ravenpotter3]

Ok imagine with the $100,000 you could make your own influencer show… and it would be a swell time!

[@oliviasmith9033]

why are they bringing abraham lincoln into this 😭

[@jtlovescodelyoko]

Maybe their fans of Clone High?

[@ianesgrecia8568]

I really love her dry humor. The sunflower bit made me laugh Also the 'you can TRY to sue me'

[@chrisblake4198]

My private headcanon is a story of how this shitshow of a production would be, and how Amanda was the only person with her act together, then in the final week she and 20 other contestants end up stranded in Bavaria and she gets them all home safely even though I'm pretty sure she doesn't know German.

[@chrisblake4198]

If I wrote fanfic this would be epic.

[@homestar546]

Went and added a free vote, and then saw that you could pay for votes. That's the point where I felt something was off about the entire thing. That being said, my wife felt called out by your description of "approachable attractive"

[@Robotsneakers]

> They have Charisma like you'd expect out of JFK, Abraham Lincoln and Meryl Streep 2 out of those 3 have been assassinated, maybe do not word shit like that lmao, producers are wild

[@gobarber2]

Did this show ever come out or did I just miss it??😭💀 It’s giving ✨scam✨

[@micahguillemette3344]

I looked them up and their web page is all about applying and the facebook page hasnt posted since june 2022 about choosing more contestants. Was most likely some kind of scam or got cancelled.

[@sundaymorningbeef]

Me: “I’m not Instagram hot, I am ‘oh she’s definitely making through a famine’ hot.”

[@yanina7977]

It takes me literally 15 minutes to drive to said german castle from my home so I'm surprised it was considered

I'm so bummed we didn't get to see the pure chaos you would've brought to the show

The second everyone saw Tana's name they should have completely understood that this would fail/be some kind of scam. Even though she's only a judge, I think it's the Tana curse

[@kevin10001]

It feels like a scam cause I can’t find any information about it past June and there website is still saying people can register on the site like they are still looking for cast members instead of pulling from the contestants they already have and in my opinion that sounds very sketchy

[@coldrose813]

Wait… the show would be filming in Toronto but they’re partnering with BC Cancer Foundation? aka a fully different province than where Toronto is? Not even a Canada-wide organization? Lol what

[@zoyasexycool]

the bc cancer foundation is a huge charity to be fair, i’ve seen people in the usa fundraising for it multiple times and filming in toronto might be easier than in Vancouver for example

[@coldrose813]

@@zoyasexycool Wow really? I'm from BC so I have no frame of reference for the org outside of the province.

[@tiomela]

@@zoyasexycool filming in Vancouver is easy. And there's a ton of tax breaks for productions. All of this is sus.

You’re beautiful! That’s the type of hott you are! But I completely get it, and you have a really positive healthy outlook on the subject, and your honesty is appreciated by me and I’m sure a ton of other people. I’ve dealt with a ton of insecurities as I’m sure most of us have, trying to be more like you :) just positive about it and self loving

I'd say "University student librarian hot". Like the only reason you would go to the library everyday after class even though you rented all of your textbooks hot.

[@nuclearseahorse]

Guess I don't feel bad for not voting now, I couldn't figure out how to vote for free :/

[@sundaymorningbeef]

Why did they choose the BC Cancer charity if they’re filming in Canada? Why not the Ontario Cancer charity or the Canadian Cancer Society?

[@GamesFromSpace]

I saw "the worst influencer", thought that was the title of the show, and it made complete sense Tana would be hosting that.

[@Deckenmoenchin]

Tana mongoose as a judge? How will they guarantee that she shows up 😂

[@Iforgotaboutrain]

Good on you for sharing the links to charities that were claimed to be benefactors. 2 great charities - JED Foundation and the BC Cancer Foundation. BC Cancer supports the province's Cervical Cancer testing and now support Lung Cancer screening. They also have a fun event called Workout to Conquer Cancer every year. So yeah. Hope Influence Me actually delivers.

[@bellz9113]

It's too bad they have been lumped in with this. They BC cancer foundation is rock solid. My dad passed of complications from kidney cancer in 2021 & we donated to BC Cancer Foundation in his memory ❤️

[@Iforgotaboutrain]

@@bellz9113 My heart hurts for your loss... I hope you can still remember all of the good things while he was with you. I truly hope that there is a good contribution that is actually donated to these foundation, like they claim to say. Even if the show doesn't move forward.

"They have charisma like JFK, Abraham Lincoln and Meryl Streep" on offesne to anybody involed with this show but that legit sounds like something a parody of this type of reality show would have as a joke.

All I could hear was "I mean, I'm hot! But like approachable hot. Like, the-hottest-girl-in-your-improv-class hot.”
