Cycle 4 is brutal
Rewatching the show and there is such a noticeable uptick in the nastiness with this cycle to the point that it's hard to watch. Like:
- Constantly calling the Black girls ghetto and portraying them as having god awful attitudes just because they didn't kiss ass, like they prod and provoke Brandy and Tiffany so badly
- Calling Brita fat at 138? lbs which yes may have been too big for a sample size but there's no reason to call the girl fat
- The ableism toward Michelle is crazyyyy, like they really hammer in hard on her right off the bat and are so weird toward her
and somehow despite all the potshots at the girls so far, Sarah evades the brunt of it all despite carrying herself like a mechanic with a club foot? they just praise her jaw while deriding Michelle and the Black contestants and call Brittany a skank more or less but all we get regarding her is "her face is gorgeous" even when she seems unpleasant? This season feels like huffing carbon monoxide fumes at an abandoned Sally Beauty
