Unrelated but did you sew your top? Because I just bought that exact fabric to make a blouse also love ur top btw!
That guy shattered that woman's whole world when he made her consider that beauty wasn't scientific or objective
Maybe she meant biologically (very basic example: men with bigger backs are considered more attractive because of evolution), but even then it doesn't completely apply. What we find naturally beautiful still is very subjected to personal taste
@@PumaArg and very subjected to which decade year etc
@@PumaArg biologically that's still subjective... beauty is literally always subjective. there's no way around it because human brains are far too varied to have any massive ideologies that everyone will accept at any given point. people don't even all THINK the same way. For example, some people can actually visualize whatever they're thinking about, even if that thing is abstract. Other people literally can't see images in their head. They just... think. And that's hard for people who feel colors to understand. The only thing objective about human sexuality is that it's all subjective.
@@PumaArg no? beauty literally i something cultural, for YOU and YOUR culture men with bigger backs may seem more attractive, but i can assure you that other cultures find other traits a lot more attractive...
@@PumaArg it's funny you say this because the media characters that become internet boyfriends are almost always skinny. Timothy Chalamet, Benedict Cumberbatch, Dylan o Brian, Harry Styles, none of them have broad backs. The things considered more attractive to men are not what women statistically want. Kind like how more women prefer dad-bods to muscles.
watching early reality tv really makes you realize the microaggressions and baby racism towards minorities. Like of course a 6'3 black man is not going to touch or comfort a crying little white girl, a man, in general, would be hesitant to do that
That’s why it’s hard for me to watch shows like this cause every time without fail, some racist shit goes down.
Not to mention that they failed a black woman because she was uncomfortable being approached by a large white man who says "anything can happen in Vegas." JFC if that wasn't staged it probably traumatized her
I completely agree
Yeah, and when the other dude called him 'boy'? Yikes
There’s also the fact that beauty standards are notoriously Eurocentric.
Beauty is in the eye of Tyra Banks describes most of the shows that she hosts
Like CJ was completely right, even if there is a “science” to beauty it’s a socially influenced one based on what society considers beautiful. It’s really weird watching the all white hosts call the only black contestant argumentative too
I want to buy CJ a beer. Shutting down micro-aggressions, calling out producer riggery AND scoffing at beauty being calculable followed by voicing his disgust at the plastic surgery business? In the 2000s? What a guy. Hope he's doing well.
Ooof, that “boy” moment is fucked. He even put the cartoon southern accent on it. He also specifically knew that out of “boy” and “family” which CJ both complained about which one he needed to change first.
Good point! I'm from the South and know not to use that word to refer to Black men, but I like to give others the benefit of the doubt, but seeing you point this out tells me it probably wasnt a mistake.
The Southerny accent on "boy" was noticeable & caused a reflexive cringe on hearing it, but I would not have picked up on how quickly he changed his statement to just replace "boy" to be less pointedly offensive. That's a hell of an observation to pick up on to really lay out the racism that guy was leaning hard into.
Also crazy that the black guy was painted as the show's "chaotic" or even "villainous" role there - at least today would have the benefit of social media to immediately correct a producer-engineered narrative like that.
are we all going to just ignore the absolute cinematic mastery of that cameo or what
I just kinda wanna point out that there was a little racist moment regarding the "boy" comment, there's a history (dating back to Jim Crow) of southerners using that term against fully grown black men. Depending on the context, such as this one, it can be considered a racial epithet akin to the n-word or other ethnic slurs.
Yeah that definitely seemed really charged...
see, it felt weird to me but i did not know that historical context! good to know, thanks
I was 26 and had never heard of that usage when i called a Black coworker “boy” in the same way i called female coworkers “girl”. He knew i wasn’t being racist, explained why it wasn’t okay, and i learned.
So i don’t *assume* the one guy meant it in a racist way, but it’s definitely something to take notice of and see if his other behavior supports the racist meaning of the term.
Wow I didn’t know that. Thank you for making this comment to explain the historical context behind the “boy” comment.
@@alisaurus4224 based on the way he put on that accent and then changed that word but still said family im pretty sure it was intentional
love the acknowledgment of identity and safety when it comes to doing "good" deeds. As a single woman, I'd be pretty scared being approached by a tall, guy way stronger than me who is talking in a weird way and invading my personal space. I also think the show doesn't really differentiate between "niceness" and "goodness." A lot of the smaller tasks like taking a photo for a stranger are "nice" and "polite," but don't automatically make you a good person. They tell me nothing about someone's kindness or moral fiber, because moral fiber doesn't make for solid tv.
yes!! And just generally how outgoing and social someone is. Like no I don't want to make small talk with a creepy stranger how does that make me a bad person
@@emilykate0835 exactly!
exactly. before julia explained the bit about the "sweaty old man" i was already feeling anxious for the woman who had to be "nice" to him to get a pass
Very well put!
True Beauty: people are only truly beautiful if they're also beautiful inside
Also True Beauty: PhySIcAL ATtraCtIVnEsS iS sCIenTifIc
The people who refused to hug the man were even very polite about it. If a stranger, much bigger than me, tried to touch me I would PUSH THEM
the whole "sweaty man thing" is so weird, if I see a random old person try to talk to me-- IM GONNA BE SCARED 😭😭😭
julia, you’re glowing in this vid🤩
@TUM um what? 😂😂
That's what I thought in literally the first couple seconds of the video! She looks absolutely beautiful 🙌
"those are not her jeans, I mean I usually buy a 25 but this time specifically I brought a 27" girl what?
This is her way of 'denying' they were the other contestant's jeans while still pointing out she's skinnier than her lol
never watched this show but we stan CJ his comment in episode one should’ve like instantaneously made him the winner lmao
Jenny Nicholson, Sarah Z, and Julia Cudney are the holy trinity of UA-camrs resurrecting lost internet pop culture and I am HERE for it!
You should check out izzzyzzz she also makes internet culture videos!
and mila tequila! she does 2000s pop/internet culture! :-)
excatly! i can watch 2 hour long videos from them on any subject and i know i'll be entertained
Also strange aeons, shanspeare, khadija mbowe, anordinarydream, tee noir, starpuppy, unicorn of war and lots more!!
@@princessmanitari4993 I haven't watched most of those people, will have to check them out. Love this pop culture history/anthropology genre!
YOU REALLY ORDERED A CAMEO FOR THIS VIDEO I CAN'T-
I would LOVE to see the judges and host let that sweaty random guy give them hugs after hearing him say, "Anything happens in Vegas... 👀"
That test was WAY out of line imo. No woman (or man lbr) would feel comfortable in that scenario.
Also why would you approach a crying little girl on the street, who you don't know and who doesn't know you??? It's called "stranger danger" for a reason. Call the authorities or something. I mean if the kid was hurt in some way sure, approach them to help, but otherwise you might just end up scaring them more cuz you're a stranger.
let’s talk about the elephant in the room that this show is extremely biased on a racial basis. both outer beauty wise and inner beauty wise. their moral dilemmas are social interactions and minorities obviously have to be more wary of certain interactions.
The Cameo video was Incredible
20 seconds in and I just had to say I switched from watching on my tv to my phone so I can comment how good you look
Them thangs thangin. Respectfully ofc☺️
wait that makes it an even more flattering compliment thanks
as someone who hates interacting with strangers, I would have been eliminated from this show so fast
as soon as that girl said “if she’s gonna fight that hard for a pair of jeans she can have them” I was 100% sure they were not her jeans
I am autistic and I would, by their metrics, fail a lot of the "moral dilemmas" by nature of. Not knowing how to talk to people or read social cues.
Omg I’m also autistic! I would NEVER be able to hug a stranger or confront an irresponsible pregnant lady
Also autistic and even my non autistic partner wouldn't hug a stranger
those hair streaks are really pretty they suit you a lot
That cameo, _how_
Teach us your secrets Julia, teach us
i literally just asked him to say "all julias are truly beautiful" and the rest was all him haha
@@juliacudney i'm a melina julia so yay!
JULIA YOU DID NOT GET HIM ON CAMEO, I SIMPLY CANNOT
You can tell she used ALL of her good place vocabulary for this
Oh gosh, reality TV from early 2000s to early 2010s... weird, crazy, and yet better then the crappy reality TV on today - with exceptions of teen mom and crap like that lol 😂
Julia I would LOVE to hear you talk about Survivor. Not sure if you're a fan or just mentioned it for this video but it truly is amazing reality tv.
Omg that show introduced me to reality shows
i had no idea what show you were talking about until you showed the jeans freakout moment and then i had a brainblast moment of me watching this show when i was a kid and my mother disapproving of me omg
i specifically remember a scene in the second season where i think craig?or billy? (he was in the finale line up with two others) was allowing girls to do body shots off of his belly button??)
Does anyone remember Beauty and the Geek? That’s the early 2000s low budget reality show that raised me 😩
I remember it. I still cant get over that pair where the guy was really nice, but the girl was clearly not stupid, but very smart and manipulative
@@Ottolineification Nate and Cece? Im like 99% sure they were actors. still tv gold
omg yes! that show was extremely fake tho lol, I know someone who auditioned but refused when they told him to shave his beard to look geeky lmao
Lmao omg why did I watch that so much... My mum hated it when I would put on American trash TV, she did not get the allure at all 😆
I adored that show! My brother once said he wanted to apply purely to do a geeky nude calendar...
I didn’t even know this show existed before now but I am angry on CJ’s behalf
Cleanest sponsorship transition I’ve ever seen.
Anne Shirley approves of those sleeves☕
Marilla Cuthbert on the other hand thinks it’s a waste of fabric.
Matthew on the other hand will buy you a puffed sleeved dress.😊
Incredible cameo
Also what a slam-dunk way to sign off
kinda feels like this video was made SPECIFICALLY with me in mind... obscure and often forgotten reality shows are my jam!!
Please do the new gossip girl when it comes out
Being unaware of my surroundings is basically how I self-actualize.
Not to mention some lady in a lift is literally not my business like i have a place to be and she does too why do i have to be staring at her
The way I thought "I don't know how to end videos" was the preamble for a conclusion. Well played, Julia. Well played.
Gosh, 2000s and 2010s reality show were on a whole other level, as much as they were abusive to its casts, they were infamously iconic
babe wake up new julia just dropped
ua-cam.com/video/L2a_aaicE1M/v-deo.html
I am absolutely living for this Wuthering Heights look you’re sporting
Yeahhh that “boy” comment made me flinch. Why is nobody discussing how blatantly racist and unfair CJ’s experience was. Like there’s so much to unpack.
Nice shout out to Unreal. Pretty solid show. Plus looking up The Bachelor's history, UnReal itself is pretty damning
Oh my gosh…. Daisy is so cute 🥺💕♥️♥️♥️ I bet she gives the best cuddles. Sorry sbxhsjf I love dogs. Love this video, the whole “lost reality shows” topic is one I really enjoy! Jenny Nicholson also has hilarious stuff on a ghost hunting show as well as a reality show about “cave people” and “future people”.
How good would a Jenny and Julia collab be 😍😍
@@Kyrridwen420 omg soooooo good. Love them both :D
Ok that boy comment was extremely racially charged…like wtf
EXACTLY!! What the hell?!?
im sorry but the editing on this video was honestly amazing, actually laughed out loud multiple times
i was about to comment why did they renew the show for a second season if the catch is that contestants dont know that it's about inner beauty too then i realized all reality shows are fake anyway
These shows have always made me so paranoid. I'm already pretty shy so people approaching me out of nowhere, or the idea of confronting people makes me pretty uncomfortable. Once on holiday a lady asked me to take a photo of her, but when I had trouble with her camera and asked her to show me how she just yanked it away and stormed off. The early 00s seemed to constantly drill into us that there was one right way to react and one wrong way, which would make you a bad person but in reality there's so many different aspects to consider that you really can't judge people on these fake scenarios
I feel like i'm the only one that remembers Bridalplasty 😂. Awesome video Julia! 💓
Plot twist: the real moral dilemma was actually the show itself. Which only the most perceptive people could see through. You cracked the code.
Not gonna lie when I saw true beauty I thought of the Korean manhwa turned k-drama
I've been reading it since it first came out so it is very much so ingrained in my brain
You just keep giving us content, thank you🙏🏾

24:11 Being aware of your surroundings could also be interpreted as being nosy. Sometimes it’s better ethically to mind your own business and let other people make their own choices.
This entire show is just combination of “Are You Hot?” and “The Surreal Life.”
I saw 2 episodes of this show years ago and thought I hallucinated it! They were on one after the other and were the one before CJ was eliminated and his elimination. I thought it was utterly ridiculous but felt really bad for CJ!
Oh my gracious THANK YOU!! I have been waiting for a UA-camr to talk about this show, I used to think I was the only one who watched, I’m so glad you remembered this!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Girl… your hair, your shirt!!!! You are serving looks like always 🥵
I used to love What Would You Do! I was obsessed with it in middle school haha.
Same and I don’t know why!!! That show did things to my anxiety..
The queen hath returned
And to drag Tyra Banks no less
you seriously need at least a million followers. all your videos are consistently great.
i believe i see we were liars on your bookshelf and if i'm correct it makes me very happy bc it is my FAVOURITE book
Billy once was my waiter at a place called Zany Graze in Lewiston, Idaho where he is from.
The jeans thing is so weird. It makes me wonder if the people running the show had somebody steal or move a contestant's jeans any time they needed more conflict.
How could they gaslight CJ into saying perception of beauty is SCIENTIFIC there is nothing that could be more wrong! Even if they want to apply metrics to physical beauty their entire show is trying to say that isn’t the whole picture. He’s absolutely correct and they’re trying to say beauty isn’t up to opinion because then they wouldn’t have a show
I loved this show, I have been looking for episodes forever. this and Solitary, which is crazy
I wanted to watch this but I wasn’t allowed because Vanessa Lachey was in it and my older sisters hated her for “what she did to Jessica Simpson” which is funny to think about now but thank you for making this, I can live vicariously about watching it through your hilarity ❤️
AAAAAHHHHH MY GIRL GOT A SHOUT OUT FROM A DILF
can’t handle the fact that they used the same dramatic sound effects as kitchen nightmares xx
Julia looks like the Bridgerton princess we actually deserved
Vanessa Lachey= John Quinos of the model world
Memory unlocked! I remember watching this
All Julias are beautiful eh? Hehehe fantastic
12:10 AAAA I was halfway through writing a comment highly recommending unREAL !! It's so good. Quinn and Rachel are in love.
bruh....this has unlocked a core memory, i cant believe i remember the protein shake guy
I remember this show omg
I grew up watching wwyd because my grandma LOVES shows like that and it did kinda mess me up lol
a new Julia video in less than a month? We're blessed today 🥰
oh man i totally watched this with my parents, i never knew they did a season 2!
The sweaty man interaction made me have to get up out of my chair. I was so uncomfortable nooooo
The ONLY moment I remember from this show is the pregnant lady one, and that challenge has haunted me for YEARS. Every so often, I just consider that moment and what the "right" thing to do would be!!
My mother constantly said it's wrong to question a parents decision what to do with their kids b/c it's none of your business, but she also raised me in an extremely abusive household so I sometimes think 'of course she'd say that, that doesn't make it moral'. But on the other hand there is some truth to it. I don't know why that woman would be smoking. What if she's a recovering drug addict and the only way she could pry herself away from drugs was smoking?
And even if an assumption that's she's just selfishly hurting her child for her own enjoyment was true, how would me confronting her change that??? Like genuinely? Me calling this woman out as being a bad person for smoking while pregnant is NOT going to change her worldview? There's no way she doesn't already know smoking is bad for her child, so even taking the charitable route of asking if she's aware what she's doing in the most polite way imaginable would be insulting???
It HAUNTS me.
NOT ALL MORAL DILEMMAS WERE CREATED EQUAL
rgjyfuihldskjghufwaks i'm going to say this in response to everything
Me and my social anxiety would have failed these tests
I’m feel vindicated knowing I didn’t hallucinate this show
I did watch this show, but I had completely forgotten it existed until this video. So, thanks? I guess
I miss the soup so much…I used to watch it every Friday with my dad
unReal is the reason i don't watch reality tv lmao, i was scarred
Sending a message that a person should be polite to other person even though he/she is not comfortable with it, or has a bad feeling about it is VERY dangerous. If I was approached by that man with a sentence "everything can happen in Vegas" - like what??
Everytime I click on one of your videos I realize all over again how obsessed with your angelic, soft, soothing voice I am 😍😍😍 It's definitely a gift from God himself.
“I’m freaking out” 😂 👖
oh...dont worry Carson Kressley after this show was canceled Ru would give you a call
Oh no, woman doesn't want to hug creepy man! Scandalous! 😱
That boy comment was awful
Why are acting like not doing something for a stranger is making you a bad person. I’m glad I didn’t watch this show it makes me angry just watching the clips haha
11:07 IS THAT THE SAME SOUND CLIP OF SOME KID BUTCHERING THE RECORDER AS THE PIGEON DOCUMENTARY AND KITCHEN NIGHTMARES?? Jaiden is onto something
All your videos make me so happy! Thank you for making them
25:00 As someone who gets anxiety from being hugged, this stranger is invading their personal space and being inappropriate.
"Where Were They Then?" is an analytical framework that we need to be using way more often.
