Maybe it's cuz I'm relatively young (19) and the season was filmed a while ago, but I couldn't stand the:
"It's the [INSERT] for me" "Litty as a titty"
It just aged awkwardly haha and I cringed a lot. Not their fault! But still.
EDIT: tiktok slang is more appropriately called AAVE since it originates from Black communities. Whether that makes the contestants' use of it "better" or worse is up to you, though I would definitely say it makes it a lot worse. Thanks to those that pointed it out!
EDIT 2: There seems to be a mini debate in the thread about the difference between AAVE and Tiktok slang - mainly that there is no difference and non-Black communities on Tiktok have appropiated these terms from Black Americans.
This is 100% true. I just called it tiktok slang due to an oversight on my end. I am Black myself, so I was just being negligent and "tiktok slang" seemed, at the time, to be an easier (lazier) way to reference AAVE because tiktok has played a role in popularizing it and thus, "tiktok slang" has become an unfortunate umbrella term for AAVE. For the record, "AAVE" is the more accurate thing to say instead of tiktok slang, and I should've used it for accuracy and, in part, to bring attention to Tiktok's appropiation and lack of recognition.
Sorry if this explanation was long, but I felt it was important. And sorry if I offended anyone.
