Found a thread on Twitter with a bunch of people saying they thought it was famous actresses like J Law and Shailene Woodley and thought I'd share my special interest knowledge.

    Totally fair, I can see the appeal there. Studying people in weird or unusual situations can reveal a lot of fascinating things. Just what the actors/subjects feel they need to play up for the camera probably holds up a mirror that reveals a lot about society.

    Kind of makes me think of telenovelas and long-running dramas like Days of our Lives that people love/loved to follow for the drama of the characters day to day lives.

      It is a similar appeal to soaps in a way. My other major special interest is Pro Wrestling which is often called a "soap opera for men" lol

        I really enjoy all the storytelling, athleticism, and drama that goes in to pro wrestling. It's a really cool intersection of sport and theater.
