Twitter and #PepsixKendall

With the emergence of tweets surrounding the hashtag #PepsixKendall, it’s pretty clear that people aren’t so happy about Kendall Jenner’s new ad.

Abigail Takes Jeopardy

Search any hashtag on Twitter, and you’re sure to get what could be a full digital reality show on the topic. “Jeopardy” Is one of those game shows we watch to show off how smart we are to our family and friends. When it comes to live tweeting it though, discussing the way contestants present themselves is much more entertaining. You don’t even have to watch an episode to get to know the characters. Just check out #Jeopardy on Twitter for a blunt description of the contestants by viewers.

Go easy on her, John. She doesn’t look like someone I’d want to mess with.

Yes! Amy had the right attitude. Maybe holding the clicker that high made her feel like a confident hipster pilgrim.

This girl was watching the same episode, but she was being a little vague about who she thought was “that one annoying contestant.” I hope it’s not Abigail.

At least Asian Claire came right out and said it.

We can finally stop talking about Abigail now that Alex is ready to start the show!
