As a general rule I always side with the workers. That being said, whoever is in charge of of choosing wigs/hairstyles for Brook Lynn Hytes needs to lose their job IMMEDIATELY. Kimoura Amour made a common mistake on RPDR: She confused being sassy with being clever. Also I never understand the confusion the queens have whenever a roast is mentioned. Do they not realize it's the same thing as throwing shade? They always get excited when "The library is open" but seem to turn the anxiety-meter to 11 whenever a roast comes up.

I like Christian as a judge. I'm always amused when people say the contestants shouldn't listen to him. HE WON THE SHOW! If you think he takes his role seriously (and I do) then you'd be foolish to not listen to him. Hell, Tim Gunn would look at the ugliest design ever and, with his hand on his chin say "I'm ambivalent". Thanks for the insight. Mean Mr. Mustache can bounce from my TV ASAFP. A good week in re: the models: No Mimi.

I'll pass on the Mimi-centric separate thread. The only worse model trend than the absolute fawning over Mimi this season and last (notice how the non-Mimi, plus sized model who led them through the door for one of the fittings was NOT given the slo-mo, zoom-in that Mimi is always given) was the plus-sized model from a few season back who the producers thought was so gifted that they would interview her about what she thought of the fashions. Hell, they even had some of the contestants bowing before her and asking her input on their designs. I just love how we are supposed to laud PR for some body positivity blah blah blah when really all they've done is add some hot models that weigh more. To me the ratio between attractive: less-attractive models is WAY higher in the plus sized bunch. Employ some models with flabby guts, small breasts, and flat behinds. Elaine is no Heidi, but Heidi on her current show is no Heidi so I don't know. I was hoping we were leaving all the sermons behind once the "I'm designing for my people" episode ended but it seems PR has some life lessons in store for us.

LOL FFS

Good double offing by Ru. It was a very lackluster performance and when you're performing the song of one of your guest judges in that manner it could almost seem disrespectful. Kendall Gender reminds me of Evie Oddly.

I don't understand all the rah-rah surrounding Victoria. First, because it is unclear to me what sort of tangible barriers she is breaking through in order to perform in drag. I certainly don't have any sorta horse in the drag game so cannot even begin to speak of the culture but from the standpoint of a viewer of a competitive reality show it seems as if part of the process of the competition is to take something masculine (ymmv) and turn it into something feminine (ymmv). If the whole group ends at the same place but one contestant doesn't have to do makeup, nor pad, nor tuck I am not sure how that, for me as a viewer, rings fair. Second, I am of the opinion that there are two types of people in the world. Those, on one hand, who will proactively give you excuses as to why they are going to fall short in their upcoming endeavor and, on the other hand, there is everybody else. 1st thing out of Victoria's mouth to the choreographer was about how her knee was hurting and she was hoping to have an easy go of things. Also, did I hear correctly that she says she couldn't go forward in her dancing career because of fatphobia? I certainly wouldn't think the dance industry (or whatever you call it) is all that friendly to the non-lithe (ahem) but I've seen dancers of all shapes and sizes. Given what I know of her this sounds like mere excuses. Scarlet Harlot did a great job in both challenges and deserved the win.

I wasn't aware that American Gladiators was back on TV but I look forward to watching Margarita's model compete.
