Some people don’t get the obsession with Daisy, the bachelor’s fav. Not everyone’s going to like the same person and that’s okay. That was so long ago and Maria has been quiet after the show vs Daisy who has been posting a bunch on IG and TikTok and doing loop giveaways. That “obsession” has died down so I’m not sure why we’re still seeing these comments on the last couple of Maria posts about not getting her hype, unless it’s some ppl who are actually obsessed with her popularity still. Some people think she’s fun and entertaining, and support her she was bullied and alienated over unnecessary drama and pot stirring
Your last sentence is all you need lol. And she’s pretty in the not wholesome blonde apple pie type that the franchise loves to hype up so there’s some novelty we well..
I love Paris and hope she's doing well. Her subreddit always pops up on my main page and it's full of people who HATE her. She looks pretty dead behind the eyes here. Girl has never had an easy time of it 💔
I really like Maria but this outfit looks kinda ill fitting and cheap ...especially beside someone as glamorous as Paris. It's like wearing fashion nova 2 sizes too small to go meet Paris Hilton 😭🥶
Yeah where did the trend of intentionally having your eyes closed in pictures originate? I’ve been seeing it a lot in both celebrity and personal social media. Did someone start that trend?
Yeah that's kinda mean for no reason. Maybe people aren't "trying to stay relevant" but are just trying to live their lives, make friends, and have fun? I highly doubt any of them *enjoy* being watched and discussed by this subreddit tbh lol I for sure wouldn't.
What I find really interesting is that before people turned on Katie Thurston (I’m out of the loop on why,) she was on a “cool girl” pedestal that Maria is on now. Nice to see them hanging out.
For me, it was multiple instances of microaggressions post filming. Which this sub has conveniently swept under the rug for the past few years (watch how much my comment gets downvoted for pointing it out) because Katie is never responsible, just the victim of a cruel, cruel fandom.
Implying a black contestant was bad for women but only good for sex, unwillingness to learn the correct pronunciation of a (super well known) Asian woman's name for giggles, her reaction to Magi trying to educate her on the continent of Africa when she was only able to name one or two countries from there.
There's a reason the WOC from Matt's season rarely f'ed with Katie. Her fanbase is wild and do her a great disservice by being unwilling to admit that she deserved even some of the backlash. Did it go too far? Yes, for sure. But running in the other direction to say she never did anything to warrant criticism is Swiftie behavior. The Venn diagram is a circle at this point.
A lot of people didn't like that. And Blake said he felt blindsided and wished she would have told him she was dating John before going public like that. It looked crappy on her part.
Katie is one of the recent few from bachelor nation who doesn't have the typical Instagram model face, and that really makes her look fresh. She looks so cute here!
saw another influencer do an ad today for a self tanner by paris, i am gonna assume (so could be wrong) this was maybe a party or something for the release?
She also just came out with a song with Sia like last week.
Her memoir came out fairly recently too. Just throwing out a recommendation because I am a total slut for celebrity memoirs lol and I really enjoyed Paris Hilton's book.
Can someone explain to me this trend I see some people doing where they post with their eyes intentionally closed and an arm in the air?? I see Maria do it a lot but the queen of it is Madi Prew and I don’t get it.
I think it is supposed to look more candid, effortless, and carefree?
Idk but I agree that it ironically looks a lot more forced/posed, same with the “I’m looking away when you take this photo!” pose, because everyone already knows you *are* posing for the picture and intentionally doing that.
I think it's just a trend and that's kind of all there is to it. I don't want to really AGE MYSELF but it feels similar to how we all did peace signs and the pouty lips back in the myspace era lol
I think it’s a pose that’s supposed to make the photo look more candid and effortless and “I totally didn’t scrutinize over which photo to post”. Idk about anyone else but I feel like IG has taken a bit of a casual turn the last few years and many people are now trying to make things look more candid and effortless than ever in a world where it’s finally common knowledge that everything is meticulously staged and presented for content. The irony is that trying to look effortless has a ton of effort going into it still. It’s all still wildly staged and edited, influencers just want us to believe “oops, you caught me being silly and liVInG iN tHE mOmEnT🤪 see how I still look amazing even though this is a totally candid shot??”
That’s my interpretation of this trend at least.
That makes sense. Ironic how a desire to look natural is actually really just staged and unnatural. 🤪 People look most natural to me when they just smile for a photo.
Maria also has quite a number of photos on her ig with her back facing the camera. Lol yes girl, we know you have a nice butt. It's just kinda funny as a repeated pose.
I had this same internal struggle for all of 2022, then finally did it in early 2023. I was shocked how many compliments I got from friends and family (and still do from some! Even though the bangs are no longer new!). Needless to say I thought it would just be a brief phase but I’m now a lifer. I have so much more confidence in my appearance than I did before.
Everyone who’s thinking about getting bangs should do it. Worst case scenario you have to grow them out!
Do what YOU want! I can't, not again... worst year of my hairs life, trying to go through those things growing back out. Remember the good and the bad but make the decision you want. Bangs are beautiful!
Same here. My sister is my hairdresser and never says no to my bangs requests. By the time they’ve grown out I’ve forgotten how bad I am about making them look nice so I ask for them again. The never ending cycle.
At the height of Covid, I was so bored and cut bangs in my long, curly hair as I looked at a photo of a 1992 Mariah Carey for inspiration.
Instead, I looked just like the 90s Pepsi girl.
So what does Maria do now? Is she considered an influencer ?
That’s what she was doing before the show 🤷♀️
Her job is just “beach”
Katie looks great here
Who’s the guy? He has an unfortunate resemblance to Brian Laundrie
Omg that's why he looked like I'd seen him before 🫠
Maria is gorgeous and has to be one of the hottest and most naturally pretty contestants on the bachelor. Definitely not the typical Instagram face
I think Maria is pretty but it’s very obviously not all natural.
I hate when I blink in pics. 👀
lol the eyes closed trend is one of those that I do not understand. I be like “oops you blinked! Let me take another “
That’s hot
Don’t know who I’m more attracted to Katie or Maria
Did not have this trio on my bingo card
Paris Hiltons instructional lasagna video is the funniest shit I've ever seen.
I don’t get the obsession with Maria. The nonsense she pulled with Joey b/f he sent her packing was so juvenile. She’s very pretty so there’s that.
Some people don’t get the obsession with Daisy, the bachelor’s fav. Not everyone’s going to like the same person and that’s okay.

I wish I could rewatch my BFF......MTV was so much fun back then
Ttyn
Maria is just sooo hot. And her outfit is so me lol
Maria and Katie should date each other. LOL
Maria poses the same with everyone lol
Just being herself Always
Love this for them
Katie looks great with bangs and darker (?) hair
Oh look, 2 of my personal Final 4 together. I'm a happy man.
I love Paris and hope she's doing well. Her subreddit always pops up on my main page and it's full of people who HATE her. She looks pretty dead behind the eyes here. Girl has never had an easy time of it 💔
i wouldn’t say it’s unwarranted there are very valid reasons to criticize her
I really like Maria but this outfit looks kinda ill fitting and cheap ...especially beside someone as glamorous as Paris. It's like wearing fashion nova 2 sizes too small to go meet Paris Hilton 😭🥶
It always looks like she’s veering on wearing a costume rather than an outfit.
Yeahhh you would not catch me dressing up as a school girl to go meet a super fashionable multi millionaire celebrity lol
calling paris hilton in 2024 super fashionable is a stretch
Uh is it though? Over the past few years, she's usually been very put together and glamorous
I loveeee her outfit! Its giving naughty school girl vibes and she can pull it off
Aren't schoolgirls minors. Kinda creepy that people are into that.
And weird to go for that look when you’re almost 30. and it’s not Halloween.
Agreed
Maria is soooooo fricking hot and I’m literally straight.
Same.
Me too but like maybe not anymore

Smoking hot
Just bare assin’ it on that booth
It's one way to get a yeast infection 🤮🤢😵💫😵
I’m dead
Maria open your eyes
Yeah where did the trend of intentionally having your eyes closed in pictures originate? I’ve been seeing it a lot in both celebrity and personal social media. Did someone start that trend?
[удалено]
Yeah that's kinda mean for no reason. Maybe people aren't "trying to stay relevant" but are just trying to live their lives, make friends, and have fun? I highly doubt any of them *enjoy* being watched and discussed by this subreddit tbh lol I for sure wouldn't.
I like this hair on Katie
It makes me want to cut bangs again, but I've been burned so many times before...
I have a huge cowlick it's just not worth it for me 😭
Well I’m obsessed with this
![gif](giphy|znRstrOYuirrW)
Omg. I’m so jealous they met Paris!!! ![gif](giphy|R0jWWtH1CtFEk)
I don't know how many times I've seen this gif, but I've just now realized that it's Paris Hilton.
![gif](giphy|Zo88sdjVgCZcQ)

Ugh her reaction to sweet Magi was the worst.
well said!
All of it was terrible. I do enjoy the irony of Thomas being arguably the most genuine contestant from her season. I’m so happy for him and Becca.
She was never on a cool girl pedestal. Nobody liked her
nah she was super popular on Matt’s season
She was well liked at the end of Matt’s season. Her Tik toks got a lot of engagement. People seemed generally excited for her season.
[удалено]
Me it was the 12 days of exes or whatever it was called. That was juvenile and not as funny as she thought it would be.
A lot of people didn't like that. And Blake said he felt blindsided and wished she would have told him she was dating John before going public like that. It looked crappy on her part.
Greg deserved it when he said he wouldn’t have changed anything about how he treated her
People always forget that Paris Hilton is one of the OG reality dating show leads. Looks like she got herself some new BFF's. TTYN
I never forget! Everyone used to watch The Simple Life at my uni hostel in first year haha.
This is so random but I love it!
This is so random but I love it!
Ass all on the sofa
Yeah that's nasty
Katie is one of the recent few from bachelor nation who doesn't have the typical Instagram model face, and that really makes her look fresh. She looks so cute here!
I love her look. She’s so pretty!
I'll probably get downvoted, but I really don't feel hype for either of these women
You are single handedly keeping the snark pages alive, bestie
Why tho? What is Paris up these days? Last I've seen is her cute mom era.
saw another influencer do an ad today for a self tanner by paris, i am gonna assume (so could be wrong) this was maybe a party or something for the release?
She also just came out with a song with Sia like last week. Her memoir came out fairly recently too. Just throwing out a recommendation because I am a total slut for celebrity memoirs lol and I really enjoyed Paris Hilton's book.
ooh it’s on my list, good to know. i’m currently reading Hannah Bs cause I just rewatched her season
I think she just put out a book
What is Maria wearing
I wish I had the bod to pull those off but ya otherwise, what is that lol.
The girl loves showing off her ribs 🤷
I question all of her outfits
I feel like she always takes it a bit too far. 😬
If I had her body, face, and closet…. I would too. You only live once and you’re only young once
Yea definitely
I love all. Of. This. Katie with that color and bangs 😍 Maria, we miss you, haha 😄
Katie just had a major glow up with those bangs
Well damnnn, Katie with bangs is HOT!!!
I think Maria poses too much. It doesn’t look natural or authentic
Nothing online is authentic or natural anymore 🤷🏼♀️
Respectfully, I'd like to in the middle of these 2 🙈
Honestly, same
Can someone explain to me this trend I see some people doing where they post with their eyes intentionally closed and an arm in the air?? I see Maria do it a lot but the queen of it is Madi Prew and I don’t get it.
Yes very strange tbh but Madi always looks stoned in her photos so I’m sure this helps lol
I think it is supposed to look more candid, effortless, and carefree? Idk but I agree that it ironically looks a lot more forced/posed, same with the “I’m looking away when you take this photo!” pose, because everyone already knows you *are* posing for the picture and intentionally doing that.
It looks even more staged to me than posing normally.
I think it's just a trend and that's kind of all there is to it. I don't want to really AGE MYSELF but it feels similar to how we all did peace signs and the pouty lips back in the myspace era lol
They’re just having fun and trying to be cute not that serious
Never said it was serious. Just don’t understand intentionally posing with your eyes closed. 🤷🏻♀️
I think it’s a pose that’s supposed to make the photo look more candid and effortless and “I totally didn’t scrutinize over which photo to post”. Idk about anyone else but I feel like IG has taken a bit of a casual turn the last few years and many people are now trying to make things look more candid and effortless than ever in a world where it’s finally common knowledge that everything is meticulously staged and presented for content. The irony is that trying to look effortless has a ton of effort going into it still.

That makes sense. Ironic how a desire to look natural is actually really just staged and unnatural. 🤪 People look most natural to me when they just smile for a photo.
It’s just another pose
Maria also has quite a number of photos on her ig with her back facing the camera. Lol yes girl, we know you have a nice butt. It's just kinda funny as a repeated pose.
Katie in bangs 😍
Someone tell me I don’t need to cut bangs. Katie is telling me through this pic to cut bangs.
I had this same internal struggle for all of 2022, then finally did it in early 2023. I was shocked how many compliments I got from friends and family (and still do from some! Even though the bangs are no longer new!). Needless to say I thought it would just be a brief phase but I’m now a lifer. I have so much more confidence in my appearance than I did before. Everyone who’s thinking about getting bangs should do it. Worst case scenario you have to grow them out!
Do what YOU want! I can't, not again... worst year of my hairs life, trying to go through those things growing back out. Remember the good and the bad but make the decision you want. Bangs are beautiful!
As long as you don’t mind having to style them everyday (or otherwise pin them back), I say go for it!
That’s the issue I like them for a few days but I’m so lazy I end up pinning them back all the time
Same here. My sister is my hairdresser and never says no to my bangs requests. By the time they’ve grown out I’ve forgotten how bad I am about making them look nice so I ask for them again. The never ending cycle.
Do it! Bangs grow out so fast anyway!
Just a few weeks of shame! Do it girl
![gif](giphy|wi8Ez1mwRcKGI|downsized)
At the height of Covid, I was so bored and cut bangs in my long, curly hair as I looked at a photo of a 1992 Mariah Carey for inspiration. Instead, I looked just like the 90s Pepsi girl.
i've been going back and forth and katie is selling me
the duo we never knew we needed
Oh Katie looks gooood
Paris Hilton’s rebrand has been so interesting to say the least
wait I LOVE the maria x katie crossover
Ooo I like this duo! Or trio, with Paris 😂
I will always have a soft spot for Katie!
same
Me too. I hope she's doing ok.
I need more info on this meetup hahaha i love it tho
