In the years since “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” premiered on E! back in October 2007, its impact on our culture has been undeniable.

Over the course of 19 seasons, the show has influenced everything from the reality TV landscape to the rise of Instagram to our popular lexicon. Yet as the series comes to an end (the 20th and final season begins Thursday), we’re only just beginning to understand how the show has changed the way we think about female bodies — for better and for worse.

Over the years, the Kardashians and Jenners have both embodied and encouraged a highly specific physical aesthetic, dubbed “Instagram face” by the New Yorker’s Jia Tolentino. If you spend any significant time on social media, you likely know the look — lips filled with filler, arched eyebrows and high, plump cheekbones. Every member of the Kardashian clan boasts these attributes, in addition to countless influencers and celebrities (Addison Rae, Amelia Hamlin, James Charles) who’ve followed in their wake. The Kardashian appearance also entails ambiguously ethnic, highly tanned skin (sometimes questionably so), typically long dark hair, large breasts, a teeny-tiny waist and a sizable butt. Altogether, the look is instantly recognizable, next to impossible to replicate naturally and very, very popular.

Because it’s not just famous folks who’ve used the Kardashians as their physical inspirations. We can’t know exactly how many people have altered their bodies to look like a Kardashian, using everything from controversial laxative “detox teas” and waist trainers to makeup and dieting, but TikTok’s “For You” page highlights teens and adults sporting a jarringly similar array of features.

Young people changing up their looks, even to emulate a favorite celebrity, isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Nor is it new; fans have been inspired by their favorite stars’ appearances for as long as Hollywood has existed, from Josephine Baker’s dark lips to Cara Delevingne’s bold eyebrows. But there’s something that feels more ubiquitous about the current trends — at least online. You can’t go on Instagram or TikTok without being inundated with images of the “ideal” look, alongside ads for surgeons and info on fillers.

These constant reminders promote unrealistic expectations that can undermine confidence, particularly for teens already insecure about their appearances. As Sarah Buglass, then a psychology researcher at Nottingham Trent University, told the New York Post in 2017, “Seeing such highly curated images validated online, by being ‘liked’ and commented on favorably by many others, gives an indication that the beauty ideals displayed are normal and socially desirable.”

In actuality, these looks, especially those exhibited by the Kardashian and Jenner women, are decidedly not normal; they’re what a handful of superstars who have unlimited access to glam squads and personal trainers have chosen to achieve. But with millions of Kylie Jenner’s followers buying her makeup in the hopes of replicating her lips and Kim Kardashian frequently spouting the supposed benefits of corsets and detoxes, the line between celebrity and fan, fiction and reality, can feel dangerously blurry.

Even for adults who’ve long been aware of the potentially destructive effects of false advertising, the desire to emulate the aesthetic of the Kardashians, or other stars like Cardi B and Amber Rose, is strong. From 2010 to 2016, there was a nearly 40 percent surge in the number of noninvasive procedures done on 20- to 29-year-olds, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. And while the Kardashians surely aren’t the only reason for the rise, we can assume they played a part. As Vice pointed out, some cosmetic surgeons even advertise a “Kylie Jenner package.” Whether that result is actually achieved isn’t guaranteed, but for plenty of people, the possibility is enough.

Adults with sound minds and money to spend are free to change up their appearances however they want, of course. But the psychological creep of “Instagram face” and other impossible body types can be brutal. This is especially true for anyone already suffering or recovering from an eating disorder, as many critics have pointed out. “She isn’t actively trying to harm you,” actress and activist (and outspoken Kardashian critic) Jameela Jamil wrote in response to a 2020 video of Kim Kardashian wearing a corset. “She’s doing to others what her idols did to her, in making her think a tiny waist is the key to femininity and sex appeal.”

Like us, the Kardashians and Jenners are allowed to look however they want and show off their bodies on social media. They are not obligated to promote body positivity or appear 'average'; if anything, their celebrity status and livelihoods require them do the opposite. Celebrity culture is unrelenting, and it thrives on constant, often mean-spirited media coverage. Take what happened when a makeup-less Kylie Jenner was caught by paparazzi last spring; the photos went viral, with critics poking fun at her more casual appearance. Three later, new “candid” photos showing Jenner in full glam appeared, rumored to be staged by the star herself.

The Kardashians didn’t create these sky-high beauty standards, but they did help popularize and perfect them. Beloved by some, hated by others, the family is nearly impossible to avoid. And while “KUWTK” may be ending, their influence certainly isn’t. From their upcoming Hulu projects to their ever-expanding beauty empires, the family will continue to stay in our lives — as will their long-lasting impact on how we view them, each other and ourselves.

Yes, the Kardashians were still in Thailand this week. On this episode, though, they get ~spiritual~ which is actually kind of rare for them, Southern Californian as they are.

But first, Khloé punches the shit out of some guy. She has decided not to go back home because “it was too much work” to change flights, or something. Plus, she doesn’t want to feel guilty for leaving her healthy and svelte family members in Thailand in favor of hanging out with Rob.

This, of course, is not the last time Khloé will talk about how she feels about Rob. She does a lot of talking about how she feels about Rob! It’s kind of her thing.

This boxing jaunt also sets the scene for the most boring plotline of the episode: Brody and Brandon try to set Khloé up with a guy, Kris pretends to be Khloé in order to arrange a coffee date, and then… nothing happens? Khloé learns a valuable lesson about how much her step-brothers think she needs to get laid? Idk.

Back at their perversely luxurious hotel, Brandon is playing the guitar while Bruce ad-libs a little ditty about their trip. It’s actually cute, and total typical-family-vacation-downtime behavior.

Not so typical: visiting an orphanage to drop off some free stuff from your family’s Sears collection. But that is what the Kardashian-Jenners are doing, because they are charitable on TV.

It’s not surprising when the entire family turns the orphan visit into an epiphany most people have by the time they are seven.

“I’m really impressed with how happy these kids are with so little,” Kim says, before she and her family point and gawk at the muddy river the kids sometimes use for recreation.

It is surprising when the camera cuts away to a confessional of Kylie, who still has her old face in the rest of the episode. In the confessional, she’s already got her new lips and blue ombré hair! Busted. Let that be a lesson to you, children: don’t have work done until after you’ve totally wrapped shooting for the current season of your reality show.

Brandon starts playing the guitar and Leah starts singing in her odd reptilian voice. All the other Kardashian-Jenners sit on a bench between the two of them, awkwardly swaying. Kim sits in the audience with a horrified look on her face.

Kylie says out loud in the car, “It’s crazy because you don’t get to choose where you grow up. You don’t get to choose what race you are. I just feel like they don’t have a mother figure.” Oh, man.

Then, Kim has an emotional connection with an orphan named Pink (pronounced in Kim’s native Calabasas tongue as “Peenk”). She will later try to adopt Peenk. When some guy tells her Americans aren’t allowed to adopted Thai children, she and Kris compensate by giving the orphans goodie bags with even more Kardashian krap.

They also bestow upon them a small pool so that they don’t have to play in the mud river anymore. None of them complained about the mud river, though, despite how much it grossed out the Kardashians. It’s pretty insensitive. Some beds might have been a better option? But, hey, I haven’t given any foreign orphans free merch from my namesake collection, so I won’t judge.

Khloé drops Rob’s name in a confessional, further trying to solidify her rep as the nice sister.

“I just feel so blessed right now,” someone says aloud. I always thought people only typed that into Facebook.

What happens next? The boys go on a trip to see some boxing. It’s pretty boring. Khloé gets into some real talk about Lamar.

“Lamar stuff will weigh on me for the rest of my life,” she says. “The marriage didn’t work out because of m, because it’s not what I wanted… He got so sloppy and started messing with all those girls and all those girls wanna do is get their 10 seconds of fame.” Xbox 360 for mac.

Does that mean as long as the affairs were kept quiet, Khloé would have been okay with it? Meh. Either way, shitty situation.

In another room of the labyrinthine resort, Kim’s life is totally effing amazing. She’s on the computer. She’s wearing a coveted Yeezus tee. The carpet is smushy and cool. She is L-I-V-I-N. Then, Brody walks in. Or maybe it’s Brandon. I wrote both names in my notes.

“What’s with this carpet?” Brodyandon says. Then, they start talking about the orphans, etc. Kim drops a really fun tidbit about Kanye. He has to do 50 hours of community service for assaulting a paparazzo, she says. But this isn’t the first time he got in trouble for that. A few years ago, he had to go to jail when he grabbed a photog’s camera at an airport. He spent the night in jail and used his one phone call to order Mr. Chow’s. Oh, Kanye! That should be a new segment of this damnable show. Oh, Kanye!

Next, outside on the beach, Kris tells us what’s going on with Rob: he’s gained 75 pounds this year, he wants to be in private, Khloé feels responsible and is upset (did you know that?). Adding insult to injury is the fact that Kris enumerates his numerous problems while lying on a bed on the beach in her bathing suit and sunglasses. Also, she’s clutching an issue of golden child Kim’s Vogue to her chest.

But, as is usually the case when people are talking about Rob, the topic immediately turns to Khloé’s heroism

“It’s a testament to her because she’s a strong person and she’s been going through so much, but it’s important for her to play the card so to speak and say, ‘I want to take care of myself,'” Brodyandon says. There is not a single clause in that sentence that is not a cliché.

Then, everyone goes to a Buddhist temple. They’re all appropriating their own muddled-up ideas of Middle-Eastern/pan-Asian culture in their own ways: we see henna ink, flowy and modest clothes, fake bindis. Kendall sports a bright blue turban from Urban Outfitters.

Of Buddhism, Khloé the state-school freshman toying with the idea of an international studies major says, “I know it’s a peaceful religion. I don’t know what else.” She adds in a confessional that the vacation has been “very emotionally draining,” pretty much dashing any sympathy we ever had for her.

She “peacefully” storms off to kneel in a huff in front of a Buddhist monk. Kim then korners her and tells her not to stress about Rob. She tells Kim it’s unrealistic not to stress.

At this, my boyfriend who hates this show and is in the same room against his will slams his laptop shut and roars, “What has she ever done to show that she’s taking too much responsibility for Rob?” then storms away.

Then, some guy pretends to grab Kendall’s butt. She whispers to Brodyandon, “That guy just touched my butt.” The heroic brother slaps the guy’s glasses off his face. A Kardashian-Jenner bodyguard then storms the bar-goer (who’s probably a plant, let’s be serious), pushing him out of the shot. EVERYONE CHEERS FOR BRODYANDON. All he did was slap someone’s glasses off and then the bodyguard did the rest. His ass would have been grass if it wasn’t for that bodyguard. Ugh.

Oh, then they do that thing where you let a lantern float into the night sky in order to get rid of your tears or something. On the way down, Kris is heard muttering both “bitch” and “piece of shit.” They all announce what they’re “letting go” of, one by one, and pat themselves on the back.

“These lanterns are really cool hopefully everyone’s getting rid of their negative energy I know I did,” Kylie mutters. God, just let her go be a teen with her friends! Why is she on TV?
