le bordel chaud

I really hope there are Live Feeds. I started watching in real time during Season 8, so if there are no live feeds it will feel like when I went back and watched all the old seasons on YouTube. I missed out on all the context and richness that the live feeds provide. It will really suck.

I mean, I don't blame Andy for not doing anything about the "racist" houseguests. He was playing to win, not be a social justice warrior inside the Big Brother House. His thoughts weren't broadcast, so we have no idea what his real feelings were regarding some of the things he might have seen and heard. I also don't know if the producers asked him questions about it in the Diary Room, and even if they did, they could have used whatever he said against him re: the other Houseguests. It's a tough position to be in, and I don't fault him at all.

And without any unintentional comedy.

I just had to mention that it annoys me how Jason Cauchi pretends like he's deaf and has to ask Brittany what everybody is saying. I would tell the jackass to get his hearing checked, but it seems to be rather selective when he can and cannot hear something.

It's honestly shocking how much money one can make on Patreon. And it's not like Stassi has a whole team of employees she has to worry about paying (or at least I don't think she does). Many of her fans are standing by her. I think she'll be fine even if she doesn't get another TV show. What (sort of) concerns me is that Beau isn't the right guy for her and this relationship isn't one for the long haul. That makes me sad because now they're bringing a baby into it.

I was talking about All-Stars. I apologize for not being more clear.

Who was the correct exit last week? I think Mehhh-hem was the weakest, and she was in the bottom and eligible to be eliminated. Letting the queens vote for anyone is a horrible idea. It would be very easy to get an alliance together and conspire to vote out the strongest competitor who didn't win the week. Ru has always not had a fixed number of queens in the bottom. Sometimes it's two, sometimes it's three. I think one time it might have even been four (but don't quote me on that lol).

OMG please let this happen! I have rarely laughed as hard in my life as I did when I saw her interpretation of "No Scrubs". It was one of the funniest things I have ever had the good fortune to witness. I thank RuPaul daily for creating this show which allows such magical things to take place. What a time to be alive!

Season 7 is unfairly maligned in my opinion. It didn't help that it was following Season 6, which was nearly universally beloved with an exceptionally popular, talented, and funny victor. However, there is a lot to love about S7. It had an extremely strong cast who consistently turned out stunning looks. I mean the fourth girl eliminated later came back to win an All-Stars season--that's how stacked the cast was. There were far too many comedy and acting challenges for some reason, which didn't play to the strengths of most of the queens. There really should have been far more sewing and fashion challenges. It's like all the challenges had been planned and then they didn't cast accordingly. It was doomed to be unsuccessful from the get go. Even despite that, there are still plenty of amazing moments and it is a very entertaining season to me anyway. I definitely think overall it is better than S8 or S9. Violet is one of my favorite winners, if not my very favorite winner. From the very first episode when she did the incredible quick change on the runway, she never stopped serving glamour and excellence. I also enjoy her acerbic wit and personality. I think initially many people thought she was boring and/or a bitch and preferred Ginger. Thankfully the tide has turned and I think Violet is much more appreciated nowadays. It started with her iconic look at the Season 8 finale where she upstaged all three finalists and RuPaul herself. And she's shown herself to be a fashionista who can give great commentary on YouTube. I just love her to pieces.

I have hated Cracker since Season 10 and I really hope he is left exposed, broken, and humiliated. What he said about Ongina was just so unnecessary. She was already feeling bad enough as it is, he didn't need to rub salt in the wound. It was so poorly played on so many levels. First, the producers probably wouldn't even have let him do it. Second, even if he whited-out Ongina's name, it would have had zero effect on the elimination outcome. She would have just looked petty for petty's sake. I can't believe that Cracker is 35 years old and has yet to learn that you don't have to say every thought that comes into your head. Also, people hate bullies and the fandom loves Ongina. So he really fucked up that whole situation. He just plain sucks, period.

I heard they tried, but Sasha didn't wish to participate. Unfortunately. The gag factor would have been off the charts! This was the first time he's been brought back LOL.

So was Bravo's. I think that's where Stassi and her new PR firm got it from.😃

I think it sucks more to be Faith. But at least she finally got the attention she had so desperately been craving. For years. It's a shame that it only took innocent black people getting murdered for anyone to care what she had to say. Also, pretty sure elder neglect and abuse is a crime. Also, knowingly recording someone without their permission in an all parties consent state is either a crime or seriously frowned upon.

Stassi being a racist doesn't change the fact that Faith is a famewhore who failed at getting brought on as a full-time cast member of VPR despite her intense desperation to do so by whatever means she felt necessary. If it meant not only repeatedly fucking someone else's man but gleefully recording it all whilst neglecting an elderly woman she was being paid to take care of, Faith had it on lock. If it meant fucking her boss' son as part of some delusional fantasy that Lisa would take her in with open arms, well Faith had that covered too. Maybe she should join the circus, cause those are some world-class juggling skills. When you're so trashy that even VPR don't want you, well... their loss is MTV's gain, I guess. But it sounds like Faith still wants to come back to VPR. Funny that.

I never said what Stassi and Kristen did was OK. In fact, it was the OPPOSITE of OK because black people can lose their lives because of bullshit calls to police! What they did was all sorts of fucked up. My number one problem with Bravo's response is that it's disingenuous, transparent, insincere, fake, etc., etc., etc. They are fucking hypocrites and it's not OK. Most of these people kind of suck. I just don't think it's cool that until a few days ago Bravo didn't care that some of them sucked, made excuses for their (at times) reprehensible behavior, and gave them free pass after free pass for it. To then turn around and completely change their tune due to public outrage and what is en vogue right now is not impressive to me. It's disgusting. Either be a network who has a moral compass, or don't. But don't pretend like you have one when the reality is it couldn't be further from who they are and what their actions have shown in the past. They can't pull the wool over my eyes that easily. So no, I don't like Faith. I don't have to like Faith. I can dislike Faith and still think it was completely wrong what those girls did to her. I also think it was wrong for Faith to have sex with Jax and Max in a shameless attempt to get a bigger part on this show. Human brains are great at compartmentalizing things.

It goes without saying that Jax is a vile sociopathic asshole of the worst order. I didn't mean to leave him blameless in the incident that happened with Faith. He's not. And if Stassi and Kristen got fired, he should be given his walking papers as well. He's literally the worst. Also, as I commented on Reddit, Tom Schwartz acts like emotionally abusing one's spouse is an Olympic sport and he's going for the gold. I did say that Bravo needs to practically clean house here. I know it's not a good look to think horrible things about the only black cast member, but I'm not going to not say what I think about her just because she's black and we're going through a tough time right now. Assholes come in every shade of the rainbow.

This is all so fucking disgusting. It outrages me that everything has been taken away from her. Even if she deserved it (and Lord knows she has said and done lots of problematic things in the past), the timing shows that the pretense is off the charts. It's like I did something bad at my job that was worth being terminated over. But my employer decides to give me another chance for whatever reason. I'm good at other parts of my job, they think I can get help or get better, etc. And I do get better. I've shown no bad behavior and completely cleaned up my act. Suddenly two years after the fact, COVID has left my company hurting and in a horrible way. They have to cut costs and they get rid of me citing the incident that happened two years ago. I'm sorry but none of this is right and leaves a horrible taste in my mouth. Especially because technically I don't think she called the police on Faith because she is racist. I think she was feeding into Brittany's delusions about her and Jax's relationship and trying to punish Faith. She would have done the same thing or something similar had Faith been white, Asian, or purple. Of course, the consequences of the police getting involved when it comes to black people can be devastating. But in this case, they didn't get involved because they knew Faith was an innocent party. Also, Faith is no heroine. She is morally corrupt and had no issues sleeping with multiple men (including one who was taken) in order to have a storyline on this show and acquire maximum TV Time. She did this while she was responsible for the care of a helpless elderly woman. I mean, you do you but gross. And also, she failed. Bravo didn't want her and she did all that sexin' for nothing. But she's having her time in the sun now. Nikolai's plea cracks me up, because Stassi must have told him what Faith cares about. Money and fame. I have no respect for her either. The comments Stassi made on her podcast about Me Too and sexual assault were far more offensive than anything regarding Faith. This was two and a half years ago, and I would have totally understood if she got fired from Bravo and her podcast then. But she didn't. All of this social justice warrioring and virtue signaling is disgusting and doing more damage than good. It only distracts from the real problems that need to be dealt with. Now I hope Stassi will be OK. But it's clear as day to me that she's being made into a scapegoat and taking the fall because of a change in the climate regarding issues of race. Bravo doesn't give a fuck about black people or gay people. Nor should they necessarily--their job should be producing entertaining content for us to enjoy. So this whole firing seems completely disingenuous and transparent. If they had any kind of backbone, they would have fired Stassi in November of 2017 and Brett and Max would have been toast the second those tweets were uncovered. Actually, they would have someone competent to vet potential talent so they would have never been hired in the first place or would have had their social media scrubbed spotless before ever filming a scene. Bravo dropped the ball and this isn't, "Better late than never." This is sticking your head out the window and feeling which way the wind is blowing. They have no character or convictions. I find their actions far worse than anything Kristen or Stassi did. Ultimately, they're the ones that should be held responsible for everything they gave their employees prior passes on. Bravo should fire themselves and just go off the air. That's the only way I'd believe they were actually sincere about any of this.

I'm sorry but I have no respect for Bravo. They're just doing what's en vogue and on trend. Stassi has been known to be problematic for years and they don't have a problem until now?? Those tweets from Max and Brett surfaced months ago. Again, NOW you're going to fire them? It's just so fucking transparent and infuriating. If these were fireable offenses, then they all should have been fired when they were made aware of said offenses, which was a long ass time ago. This is such bullshit. And Jax Taylor, probably the vilest sociopath ever seen on Bravo, gets to keep his job? That seems right. NOT. If they TRULY want to stand up for what's right, they need to practically clean the entire house or just cancel the shit altogether. I can't see inside Stassi's heart, but I have seen a true improvement in her behavior in the past couple years since this incident happened. Her apology on Instagram was classy and seemed sincere to me. Could she realize it makes sense to keep her true thoughts to herself because the world tends to frown on those with controversial opinions when it comes to race and sexual assault? Absolutely. But I think it's also possible that she truly has grown as a person over this time and come to realize her past actions were truly wrong and she is appropriately mortified about them. I'd be lying if I didn't say if I was Bravo I would give her the benefit of the doubt. Shit, they already have all this time...

^ That's the Season 4 cast..

I'm sorry but it took far more than a dead sibling to turn Darcey into the hot mess that she is.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Crystal debarge her way into the finale. Ru seems to have a crush on her.. Surely Gigi's march to the crown can't be this easy? Is anyone who wasn't later disqualified going to put up any kind of fight? I might be kind of corny but I kind of liked Brita's lip synch and felt like it was menopause-inspired, possibly. Actually on second thought, I just sort of tolerated it but I still thought she was better than Heidi. With 8 (?) queens left, many of them are evenly matched so it could be fun the next couple weeks to see who winds up sashaying.

I definitely think it could have been a competitive battle between Asia and Aquaria, but Ru had been high on Aquaria all season with calling her the future of drag, her winning Snatch Game, etc.

Honestly, Aiden was so bad that she deserved to get called out by Patricia Quinn. That was an incredibly lazy and embarrassing effort. She really should be ashamed of herself, but I thought her entire run on the show was incredibly lackluster. I'm not even sure why she was cast tbh. She was clearly out of her league IMO. I wasn't impressed by anything she did on the show. I'm surprised she made it as far as she did and queens with actual talent like Rock M. were eliminated before her. Gigi was just amazing. As the kids would say, "We have no choice but to stan." With Sherry being disqualified and almost entirely erased from the edit, I don't see anyone standing in Gigi's way until the finale. At that point, she could be taken out by a lip sync assassin a la Sasha winning in S9. But I think for the most part, Ru carefully crafts what they show in the final lip syncs to make any win (and winner) seem justified. There were reports Aquaria fucked up her final lip syncs but that was never shown and she won anyway. At the time, Sasha winning was incredibly shocking but completely earned due to the format change. In hindsight, Shea really did dominate that season and her winning would have felt the most fulfilling IMO. But every winner since has seemed predictable due to the show's edit. I expect that trend to continue and Gigi to come away with the crown.

Did Haleigh and Fessy break up, or no?
