The Millionaire Matchmaker host says the clock is ticking, and it's time for Travis Kelce to take his relationship with the pop star to the next level. In fact, Stanger is putting Kelce on a timeline with a stern warning that if he doesn't give Swift a ring by July, she's "coming" for him. It all went down on the red carpet for theMaterialists premiere in New York City on Saturday, when Stanger issued a bold comment to the Kansas City Chiefs' tight end. "If Travis Kelce doesn't give Taylor Swift a ring, I'm coming for you by July," Stanger jokingly threatened. "I'm coming for you! Like what is that?" After commenting on how "adorable" Kelce and Swift looked together at his cousin's wedding recently, she continued, "And you don't need a big ring and you can afford one buddy! Go, go, go! I'll take you to the jewelry store!" When it comes to Stanger's call out, not everyone is of the same mindset. One commenter wrote, "Let's trust these two grown adults to make their own decisions about getting engaged."

Opinion: The Cruel, Trashy Theatrics of Donald Trump's America
Is the Trump administration seriously considering a reality show that would pit immigrants against each other in a competition for U.S. citizenship? Yes. No. Maybe? The Daily Mail reported that a show was in the works, and Homeland Security spokeswoman subsequently Tricia McLaughlin told The Daily Beast that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was indeed considering it; she noted the show, which was dreamed up by the producer behind Duck Dynasty and the Millionaire Matchmaker, was in 'the very beginning stages.' But then she told USA Today that the reports were 'completely false.' In the kind of she said/she said inconsistency that on reality shows ends with someone crying, storming out or flipping a table, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem also contradicted McLaughlin's initial comments and said the claims were 'inaccurate and false.' The show seems to be at most an idea under discussion, and perhaps not even that. Regardless, its premise is positively Trumpian: a cruel spectacle of domination and debasement couched in the language of patriotism. A televised circus in which immigrants are forced to humiliate themselves in the hopes of a shot at becoming American—and in which most presumably go home not just broken-hearted but potentially deported—seems exactly in line with the kind of disdain with which this administration views immigrants and our system of immigration rules and laws. The show also sounds plausible because Trump is America's first reality TV president. He starred in The Apprentice; his catch phrase was 'you're fired.' The premise of that show was centered around Trump's ridiculous expectations in the challenges contestants were set up to fail at, and his horrible treatment of them in the gladiatorial boardrooms where they were eliminated. He was rude, condescending, and inconsistent—an awful boss to work for. The contestants were routinely degraded and demeaned. The American public ate it up. Huge swaths of the public, too, seem to have a taste for casual cruelty, on TV and in politics. Trump tapped into that, first on camera and now in the Oval Office, and he is certainly delivering. The public also has a taste for drama and chaos—the popularity of reality TV as a genre certainly attests to that. And perhaps the reality-tv-ization of American politics partly explains why Trump voters aren't totally isn't flipping out over market-crashing tariffs, devastating proposed Medicaid cuts and a bunch of boys barely out of puberty running wild cutting government services at the behest of the world's richest (and never elected to office) man: Americans so used to seeing dysfunction play out on television, we aren't as disgusted as we should be when we see it in Washington. We seemingly cannot get enough of people with under-developed inhibition, an enormous need for attention of any kind and a willingness to publicly debase themselves. That in turn describes many people in Trump's orbit—and, at least in terms of disinhibition and attention, the president himself. Like any good reality TV character, Trump is also acutely aware of how things look and how they rate. He seems to care more for style than substance. His meetings with foreign leaders have come across as dramatic and deliberately staged: giving Ukrainian president Vlodymyr Zelenskyy a condescending dressing-down despite Zelenskyy's frankly heroic behavior while his country is at war; ambushing South African president Cyril Ramaphosa with claims about 'white genocide' and Black South Africans murdering White farmers. He seems to have picked his cabinet members like a reality TV producer might select contestants: Who looks good on camera? Who looks like they fit the part? A stunning number of Trump administration employees came to Trump by way of television appearances on his favorite cable news network, Fox News: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is the least qualified person to serve in that role perhaps ever and has already been responsible for a series of debacles that at best embarrass the administration and at worst put the nation's national security at risk—but damn if that jawline doesn't work in studio lighting. Judge Jeanine Pirro is Trump's latest pick to be the interim US Attorney for Washington D.C.; Sean Duffy is in charge of the Department of Transportation. Dan Bongino is the deputy director of the FBI. The list goes on and on. Perhaps members of the administration are telling the truth when they say that they aren't considering the immigration reality show, and the members who say they were considering it were either wrong or lying or just confused. Or perhaps vice versa. Maybe this is a classic reality TV plotline where you have to lie, cheat, and steal to outplay your rivals; maybe it's just the kind of incompetence that characterized the first Trump administration. But whether or not DHS is cooperating with a green card reality show—and I truly hope they are not—this remains a bad, made-for-TV administration, one that encompasses all of brain rot, chaos, crassness, and vicious spectacle that reality TV has made normal after decades of beaming the nation's biggest immoral attention monsters into our living rooms. Trump is the president reality TV built. And the rest of us aren't just a prurient audience—we are, to put it in reality TV parlance, the biggest losers in all of it.

Homeland Security considering reality TV show for immigrants bidding for US citizenship
A sensational new idea to judge potential US immigrants via a reality TV show is reportedly being weighed up by the US Department of Homeland Security. Immigration has been a hot topic in the United States since the return of Donald Trump to the Oval Office as the 46th president last January. Having promised to 'stop the invasion of illegals' into domestic territory, Trump's administration have since placed an emphasis on a border crackdown, with the White House reporting that illegal border encounters are 'down by 95 percent'.

In short, yes. According to DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLauglin, the proposed reality show is 'in the very beginning stages of that vetting process and has not received approval or denial by staff'. According to McLaughlin, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem has not reviewed the proposal. The Trump administration placed an emphasis on anti-immigration policies in the immediate aftermath of January's swearing-in. Pic: Getty Images The proposal was pitched by Rob Worsoff, a Canada-born writer and producer who previously produced 'Duck Dynasty' and 'Millionaire Matchmaker'. Worsoff recently told the Wall Street Journal that while he was yet to have had direct contact with Noem, he had received 'positive feedback from the federal agency' and added preliminary discussions with networks were taking place. As per a pitch deck obtained by the Daily Mail, the show format would feature feature a 'heritage challenge,' an 'elimination challenge,' a 'town hall meeting' and a 'final vote.' Access to the United States will be made more difficult for some due to stricter immigration policies adopted by the Trump administration.

Along the way would be further All-American tasks for contestants to complete, like mining for gold in San Francisco, logrolling in Wisconsin, and assembling the chassis for a Model T Ford in Detroit. The show would reach its crescendo with the 'winner' being sworn in as an American citizen on the steps of the U.S. Capitol in Washington.

McLaughlin added that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem has not reviewed the proposal. The reality competition series was pitched by Rob Worsoff, a Canadian-born writer and producer who was behind A&E's Duck Dynasty and Bravo's Millionaire Matchmaker . Worsoff, who could not be reached for comment Friday, told the Wall Street Journal that he has not had direct contact with Noem but has had positive feedback from the federal agency and is in preliminary discussions with networks. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'This isn't The Hunger Games for immigrants,' Worsoff told the newspaper, referring to the dystopian fictional novel by Suzanne Collins, in which contestants fight to the death for survival. 'This is not, 'Hey, if you lose, we are shipping you out on a boat out of the country.'' Instead, according to a pitch deck obtained by the Daily Mail , each episode of the proposed show would feature a 'heritage challenge,' an 'elimination challenge,' a 'town hall meeting' and a 'final vote.' Twelve immigrant contestants would arrive on a boat at Ellis Island and travel around the United States in a train called 'The American' – also the proposed name of the show – to learn about the nation's history. Along the way, contestants would compete in supposedly quintessentially American challenges like mining for gold in San Francisco, logrolling in Wisconsin, and assembling the chassis for a Model T Ford in Detroit, according to the Daily Mail . The final episode would feature one 'winner' being sworn in as an American citizen on the steps of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, according to the pitch. The proposal also listed actors Sofia Vergara, Ryan Reynolds or Mila Kunis as potential hosts for the show, as they are naturalized citizens of the United States. Reynolds was never consulted about the show, according to a person with knowledge of the situation who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss his projects.
