Madding crowd

This was obviously set up for MIB, Jorgeous and Lydia to have the much better parts in the boring Starbooty. Lydia is OK and I don’t dislike her but also don’t think she’s a huge star like Ru seems to think. Nicole is not even trying but I could see Tina’s frustration because she knew she wasn’t part of the anointed trio. Can’t stand Mistress and she wasn’t great in the musical or runway. I liked Tina’s look but none of the others. Looking forward to next week but already wondering who will pushed as the star of the group.

Once again we’re told Gordon found filth and chicken rotting in a bag of blood but he was fine with his spy eating the food. Then he doesn’t mention throwing out the bad food or cleaning. I also think the boxes of catfish sitting in the guys car were fake. I did like the 101 year old lady who still liked cooking.

I hate this format; I want to see all the queens at once. Too much Lydia now and I like her but she’s not so amazing that she needs to be the star of every episode. Can’t stand Mistress at all. I guess I like Tina the best of this group and I can’t help but think NPB was told to tone herself down so Mistress, Lydia and Jorgeous could shine.

This show seems fake to me. In both episodes Gordon found rats, spoiled food, off the charts bacteria levels and general filth. Yet he let his spies eat the food, never discussed the filth and rats and we saw nothing about teaching basic hygiene. Since the entire show is about mending relationships, I’m convinced the parts where Gordon sneaks in at night are totally fake. I would never go in this restaurant no matter how much Gordon changed if the owners truly let it get that bad.

I think they re-did the houses to remove some of the bedrooms to make enormous bathrooms, closets and other niche spaces. I don’t remember any of the basements having a bedroom but I think the brother’s house had a hidden small bedroom on the first floor. One house had a Murphy bed that could be pulled down in an office but none of these seemed like bedrooms you would use for kids. They didn’t mention any other bedrooms besides two in the judging or house tours. I assume they would have to turn something into additional bedrooms.

Where would the kids sleep in any of these houses? They had a second bedroom in some but what if you have 3 or more kids? The one house has a bunkhouse but that would only work for little kids; teenagers would want privacy and space. The bonus rooms wouldn’t work because they lacked doors and closets. All of the houses had pluses and minuses to me so I was ok with the winners. For a real world house though, I would cut down on football field sized bathrooms and quirky speakeasy/cold plunge/wine rooms and add bedrooms.

Susanne is Swiss actually, but European women just age well in general. I wonder if she can keep up with long nights at clubs though.

Ru’s dress looked strange like she was in a back brace or something. I liked Tina better than last time but not a huge fan of any of these queens. Nicole doesn’t have a chance with those basic wigs. Mistress Isabelle leans into being mean way too much. Lydia is ok but her ugly outfit was nothing special. Hard to believe Suzanne Bartsch is 74!

This show is not good. Martha seems sedated and Jose seems like he doesn’t know what he is doing here. Just watching chefs try to sabotage each other isn’t fun.

Yea, I’m used to backyards on this show having grills and swimming pools. I guess they only do pools in areas that are warm most of the time. I thought the backyards seemed so spread out it would be hard to walk from one area to another easily. I didn’t have a problem with the kid friendly yard-people in Utah tend to have a lot of kids and it seems more of a family area than single people or young couples starting out. I don’t get the obsession with cold plunges. I doubt if many people use them and it surprised me that the twins talked about a hot tub not being used all year, do they think outdoor showers and cold plunges are used during Utah winters? All of the homes seemed overly niche to me so I didn’t care who won.

I was happy to see the endings the living characters got and Joe being in jail. Not a fan of Kate who used her families millions to evil intent until she decided to change into a different woman. Also didn’t like Brontë. When she said Joe erased her I thought what was there to erase? She stalked Joe for years over a woman she barely knew. She was just as obsessed with Beck as Joe. Kudos to all the actors, especially Penn; no one else could have played Joe. As a writer myself, I loved seeing Beck’s book restored and the general emphasis the show had on reading and writing.

I think I was getting a little tired of everything at this point; the cage, people only a little less evil than Joe like Kate, and Brontë who always looks a bit deranged. I was happy to see Marienne and Nadia being free.

I’m not a fan of Aja either and she seemed entitled like she deserved to move on more than the others. This was a fun episode and Irene and Bosco did a great job with the makeovers. I’m still salty with Michelle in insisting people don’t look like they’re from the same drag family if they have different hair color .

There is no way Sam killed that guy, I’m sure it was the girl’s father. Of course this will lead to Sam saying she can never forgive Nolan and hopefully she’s out. I’m tired of Nolan being made out to be the bad guy here when he’s the one who would face sanctions when the defense attorney questioned the doorman and found out Maroun coached him, which she would. I wanted to find out more about the killer: does he randomly kill someone every 12 years and then acts perfect between kills? Surely they could have found other women he hurt and could get his DNA in a less controversial way. Also it’s not Nolan’s fault that the police aren’t doing a good job of looking into a suspects life.

The woman who had all the injuries and was told she couldn’t work for 12 weeks looked surprisingly healthy when she was dishing out food. That ship and its owners would be sued for letting a nurse practitioner operate on someone’s heart. And why does the ship look empty so often? Cruise lines don’t make money on empty voyages. And the pregnant woman looked too old to be giving birth. I can’t see this coming back but if it does I would like it if it wasn’t the Avery show- I don’t get why she is the main focus over the doctor and captain.
