Knew it was going to be a disaster the moment I saw Samantha Cusick's name ![Woozy face :woozy_face: 🥴](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/joypixels/emoji-assets@5.0/png/64/1f974.png)

I remember someone commenting “where’s the K9?”This reminded me of when Jim and Tanya blocked words dog & Martha, so people started commenting “where’s the hound?”. Just made me laugh remembering that![]()
That's not even remotely the same though. You're using equipment . She used their audience, their ideas, their fame. I don't know what you do for work but let's say you're in insurance. This would be like you setting up your own firm, taking the clients of your old firm with you, and copying every single document they had, just using a different font.But that doesn’t mean she owes everything to them.
I use my company’s computer. I once borrowed an outfit for an interview. It doesn’t mean all my work achievements are down to these people.
Plenty of YTers copied the idea to do a beauty channel. Sam was an OG but plenty have tried and failed.
This isn’t about defending Tanya, but that you can’t remove credit from a person based on how they got started IMO. Very few people have a totally original idea and I don’t think she’s been cagey about saying Sam gave her her big break.
Exactly. And to me, she'd have never been invited to be anyone by Dom without having met Sam through Jim. Without those connections, Tanya Burr would be back in Norfolk, having had a string of failed mediocre jobs and we would have never heard her name.Ok so it wasn't all Sam. It was Dom Smales - Who she got connected with because of Sam, Nic and Jim. Yes plenty have tried and failed but the root of it all is still her personal connection to the Chapmans. Others did not have that. She got lucky and was put into this money making machine by a guy who saw the potential to get rich off of these empty vessels of people. They did what they were told, they participated in a manufactured friend group, they 'wrote' books and slapped their names on products.
Agreed. It looked good on her this way IMOTanya has had a bob style hair cut before and it suited her, in her natural hair colour. She used to style it with a wave and it looked really nice. So she could get away with a good trim and going dark again.
I still can't fathom what she was thinking wearing that dress to fancy Fleur's wedding. Like. Can't make sense of it.The only wedding guest outfit I've ever worn and liked?Makes sense.

What irritates me is not that she won’t admit outright she was rubbish (I mean, who would?), but that she keeps repeating this line, which she started iterating when she was in the thick of it and wasn’t getting cast, about how difficult and how much of a hustle it is, as though that’s why she couldn’t make it. Don’t get me wrong, it absolutely is prohibitively difficult to make it as an actor, but we all know that is not, actually, the primary reason why she didn’t make it. It’s incredibly disingenuous for her to have ever presented herself as a struggling aspiring actor. Unless I missed something, she has never, ever acknowledged the incredible leg up she had over actual struggling aspiring actors having to ‘hustle’ out there—the money to buy parts, the connections, the ‘fame’ to get stunt-cast as a lead in the play. In fact, when she was getting panned in ‘Confidence’, she had the gall to make out that it was because of who she is (not classically trained), as though she was not, in fact, cast in the first place simply for who she is. She can ignore as much as she wants to how rubbish she was, but it irritates the flake out of me when she pretends to have been just another struggling actor, who couldn’t make it because of ‘how the industry is.’Let’s be fair, it doesn’t really say she gave anything up. I actually found this part to be really honest:

Being the same age as Tan, I feel a bit victimized by this commentI'm younger than Tanya. Elements of what she is wearing are in fashion - the shoes, the jacket - but to me she just seems like a millennial trying to be young and cool. I thought this about Zoe recently too. They're both trying to follow fashions, but not doing it very well. So now they both look like try-hard millennials.
It's the continued lack of honesty for me. Like there's zero shame in saying "I've had a baby and realized that I'd rather be with my son than in the labor market."Plenty of women do it and it's as valid an opinion as the opposite. But aside from a jokey admission that her IMDB page wasn't great, there's no recognition of "I was no good at it so I was never going to amount to much and I'd rather not waste time I could spend with my son in silly plays where I have flakes up me fanny." Or something like that. Instead she keeps lying about her career now inflating her producer role and talking about writing and producing a short film and having loads of meetings with charities. Like who would meet with her and why? Who outside of Tattle even knows what a Tanya Burr is?Mia Thompson who won the rising star BAFTA this year just had a baby and mentioned it in her acceptance speech
Barry Keoghan who was in Saltburn and nominated all over the shop also just had a baby
Having a baby is no excuse Tanya you are just a lazy bum
Agreed. Her smiley, warm persona suits her much better than her cool, smelling shit persona.I don't wanna sound like those catcalling creeps but she looks so much better when she smiles 🫣

This is the type of spiteful attitude I’ve got too when it comes to JimGuys am I okay? Because a part of me wants her to succeed just so Jim could be mad![]()
For most people yes!Is it normal for hair to be such a strong part of people's identity?
This is a genuine question; I'm Autistic and hair is a bunch of mostly-dead cells that occasionally become inconvenient and need to be clipped short again. Like fingernails. It seems genuinely bizarre to me that someone would think hair is "who they are" or somehow represents their identity. But does it? Is that how people actually think?
