Not Here to Make Friends is back for another season of examining reality television through a critical, often anthropological, always feminist lens.

Through criticism, personal essay, and reporting, seven writers explore the limits of representation, the exploitative on-set labor practices, the racial and gendered caricatures built both in the audition process and in the development boardroom, the gamification of scandal, the nuanced role of religion, and the uncanny valley of image-making.

Includes contributions from Celeste Amidon, Mariah Barden Jones, Megan Beauchamp, Lillian Bernhardt, Olivia Crandall, Jason Credo, Tara Kenny, and Bethy Squires.
