It was so clunky that they had Norvina made that Jane Goodall reference in the mini challenge when she wouldn't have seen the Snatch Game.

Plane Jane using her immunity potion in a week where nobody goes home is horrible storytelling on the part of the producers.

Dawn has a lot of opinions for someone who has not won a challenge yet, I'll say that much.

The central premise of the show is that they are being followed by a camera crew so them freaking out over a student posting the video did not make sense to me since they were on camera regardless of the student filming them.

Mayhem Miller is so wild because she manages to do worse each time she comes back on Drag Race.

I could go for this theory IF Heather had just been like "Oh I hit my face on a door" or something. But she kept being intentionally vague in a way that would only invite more scrutiny onto herself and Jen so the protecting Jen thing sort of falls apart. It'd be very different if say Heather said, "This accident caused my black eye" and the woman kept needling her and implying that it was Jen and she lied in that moment to protect her. Instead, she used vagueness as a way to put herself front and center of a lot of the drama at the end of the season.

Can I just talk about how spiritually Angie K is to this show what Jerry was to Parks and Rec? Like they just both exist so the other characters can shit on them lol

Do we think Kyle's new attitude may come from the fact that she thinks this is finally her moment to shine on the show? Like there is no LVP, this is no Rinna, Erika Jayne's stock has plummeted, so she finally thinks she has attained full Queen Bee status?

I do wish there was more fourth wall breaking because all the hand wringing over Angie K showing up to the girls trip seemed ridiculous a bit because it's not a girls trip, it's a work function for the show and she's a cast member on the show. I was shocked that Heather would allow herself to get so drunk on camera after the black eye stuff last season. Even drunky mcdrunk Sonja Morgan would occasionally course correct and dial back the drinking every few seasons.

I think the funniest/best part of most of the fights is that, to varying degrees, every woman was correct. Like Angie is a friend hopper, Meredith does love to pull in some outside thing to excuse herself, Whitney didn't need to start that mess with Meredith on the boss, Mary's church is predatory, etc.

But did Shannon tell the police officer "That's my not car, you fucking bitch!"?

This is the season of the puffer coat. Every time someone says "referential" it just tickles me because it feels even shadier than saying copied I immediately thought of Mugler when Bishme's outfit came out. It looked straight out of a George Michael's Too Funky video.

In sketch form, Brittany's look rang a lot of "I've seen Harry Styles already wear this outfit before" alarm bells so calling it "referential" was a tactful bit of semantics. In some ways, the outfit is like the greatest hits of Harry Styles because the sheerness of the top is from his MET Gala look, the bow from his Gucci, etc.

The casts of the two shows getting tipsy together was delightful in the way that harkened back to the far more freewheeling early years of Project Runway. Wasn't there even a whole story point in the first season about the model Morgana getting too drunk and messing up her outfit before the runway?

The best talking head of the episode was Laurence talking about exactly how many puffer coats are they going to make this season of the show.

I will say Kara Saun hearing that the challenge is "Underwear as outerwear' and stating her inspiration is an infamous massacre of Black people felt like a parody of Project Runway backstories for outfits Like that IS an important story but saying that in the moment for THIS challenge instead of saying, I don't know, the Harlem Renaissance or something was so wild.

Korto talking about how things had gotten dark last episode as if it somehow happened independent of her made me laugh and made me think of this Spongebob meme

Is it just me but until they were on the runway, the fabric kept reading as pink and not red to my eyes lol

On a better show, Carrie going from someone in season one of Sex and the City watching one of her guy friend's sex videos to being someone who can't seemingly deal with any sex talk would be a conversation about aging and becoming more conservative and what that means and if that is good/bad and how she fits into the greater cultural moment. This is not that show.

Hester reminds me of that redheaded lady who quit the show a couple years ago.

I couldn't believe they loved Kara Saun's dress because if little ole me from Wisconsin can be like I've seen that exact dress before but done in black, I don't know why they were so enthralled by it. I would've eliminated Anna or Brittany. You sent down a dress that could be bought at any David's Bridal RIGHT NOW.

The only reason why either of them said that they were in love with the other was trying to make this whole at least for the moment not seem like it was all for nothing. Which it completely and totally was. For all of Raquel's perceived dimness, I think she is smarter than people give her credit for because she did All About Eve her way onto the show and managed to keep herself in the spotlight with this and she probably knew that dismantling Tom in interview was a way to sort the process for someone to be friendly to her in the cast. AS much as they don't like her, they are all opportunists who hate Tom more so I think she would have no problem being used as an axe to wield at him for her own self-preservation on the program.

I truly hate how Lala and James are using the Scandoval to retroactively act like their past behavior wasn't awful. Also I'm incredibly sympathetic to Ariana but I also remember what a Cool Girl asshole she was when she breezed into this show so her constant yelling about karma when this would be her own karma to a degree is wild.

Watching Raquel is like watching a malfunctioning Fembot try to approximate the human response they think should be giving but failing miserably.

I don't know, Bravo had no problem getting rid of Mariah from Married to Medicine and she had far more of a hand creating that show than LVP. And this point the central premise has basically evaporated.
