As the end of Downton Abbey approaches, it’s appropriate that we’re also seeing the end of the political career of one of its biggest fans, Aaron Schock.
Once a rising star in the Republican Party, the former Men’s Health model was under investigation for his spending habits, facing serious charges that would land him in prison.
Instead he smartly chose to resign, and find more interesting places from which to Instagram.

Regarding your chat about RPDR, I feel as if part of the problem for this season is that it was so over-hyped during the long, drawn out wait for the season to begin. The promos that were aired made it sound as if we were going to see something on a heretofore unheard of level of fabulousness, and that made it pretty much impossible for the actual show to live up to that level of expectation. It might have seemed like a clever way to promote the show at the time, but in retrospect, I think it would have been smarter to promise less and over-deliver, rather than making such over-the-top claims, and then having the audience say “ho-hum”. Not that I won’t be watching, but I am feeling somewhat let down by Season 7 so far. I have been engaged by the personalities of several of the queens, but on the performance level, I am still waiting to be blown away.
Looking at the reaction to the season thus far, I think Rupaul is learning that sometimes it pays to be not quite so clever. For example, bringing in 2 rotating judges was not a good move (I personally cannot stand hearing Ross Matthews talk–being a superfan does not always mean you should be on the panel). Front loading with team challenges also is showing to have earned negative audience reaction…and finally, it is slowly becoming apparent that Rupaul is starting to come across as bored & thin-skinned on the broadcasts. Ru has been spreading himself thin with his outside ventures, and we as viewers are seeing that onscreen. It did not help matters any that at the time of the taping last Summer, the World of Wonder/RPDR group were in negotiations for Drag Race UK.
