It feels great, a bit odd to start with, not in a bad way, it’s just that this time last year I didn’t think it would ever happen.

The reality of Big Brother: it will stay toxic until we stop watching

It's been another summer of light, silly Big Brother fun: costumes, sloppy competitions, grotesque sexism, blatant misogyny, atrocious editing that makes heroes into villains and vice versa, unpunished rule violations, and a young cast with little life experience that laughs about animal abuse and brags about not knowing the game they're currently playing. Of particular horror this summer has been the treatment of women by some male cast members, and by the television show itself. Read this story »

The mystery of Mary Carillo and her wonderful Olympic features

Before the Rio Olympics began, an NBC executive insisted that the Olympics' primarily female audience is "less interested in the result and more interested in the journey." While that is grossly patronizing and sexist, it has not seemed to manifest too much during NBC's prime-time network coverage of the summer games. Those three hours have mostly been filled with competition—with some bios and background, sure, but mostly competition. In fact, it's been so competition-heavy that I've been genuinely, achingly missing one of the best parts of the Olympics: Mary Carillo's feature stories. Read this story »
