I was so happy to see the team collaboration work out so well. Most of the time, there are so many conflicts working with partners/teams and at times a person gets sent home for no fault of their own, which drives me mad. This time, the team embraced Yannik's theme and used it to spark creativity. They actually had fun during the challenge and it showed! (Except for the sewing machine mix up.)

I agree that Sienna caused workroom drama and extra stress to the other designers by changing sewing machines, but I am willing to give her a little grace because she was shown trying to make it work with the broken machine. She was also adjusting the tension and cut her finger. It was at that point, she made the decision to use a different machine. I think she was frustrated and didn't want to keep fighting with the machine she was assigned. I also think the pressure of the seven hours to complete a look played into her decision. She didn't have the time to futz around with that machine. I think if I were her, I would have asked if I could hop around to different machines while they weren't being used. If the machine isn't working, it's not fair to have to stick with it. I think she could have handled it better, but I understand her frustration.

They did say that the 7 figures was in UAE dirham, which is .27 to the American dollar. I don't know why these women are bickering about who is more successful. Financially, they all seem to be doing extremely well (helluva lot better than me, that's for sure), and they should stop with the petty comparisons. Who cares if Sergio didn't get to play in Real Madrid games, he was on the roster and got paid as part of their pro team. It's a lot of nitpicking over nothing.

Yes, the clothes the judges wore are from Moschino, Jeremy Scott's line. However, I'm surprised they all wore them at the same time. Isn't it a fashion faux pas to wear the same thing as someone else? They are not part of the runway show, so I don't get it. Speaking of not getting it: Yannik's blanket fashion.

I could not understand this fruitcake business? Nobody likes fruitcake. I had to Google it and it turns out that the fruit cake is more of a layered vanilla cake and custard topped with fresh fruit. The article describes Nina's love of cooking. Okay, now it makes more sense! https://itp.live/news/10349-lifestyle-influencer-nina-alis-new-delectable-business-fruit-cake-will-now-be-the-cherry-on-top-at-any-celebration

This makes so much sense. The root of most of the issues the coven has with the other housewives is jealousy. I remember Rinna going on about Denise not putting in the work. The extra money and popularity just added fuel to the fire. Now, Kathy, in their eyes, is doing the same. Trying to stay above it all and collecting the big paycheck and fan adoration. They have a desperate need to bring her down (along with Sutton and Garcelle).

Oh, I won't be in live chat next week- going to see Werq the World Live in Oakland, CA! Super excited for my first RuPaul drag show!

This is going to be the most awaited wedding in LAL history. It even rivals the blessed nuptials of Tia and Nicolle. C'mon, people, I'm not getting any younger!

Too bad Destinee's not there to be her makeup artist!

I can't believe I'm saying this, but Kathy and her boyfriend make Shawn and Sara look good!

Britt is jealous that Amanda got the d**k pics and she didn't. Mind explosion.

It stands for "Fiancé." Now that she is engaged, she wants everyone to know!

I love the content of LAL just like the rest of you, but I miss the hour long episodes, tbh. I would also love 90 Day to have shorter episodes. Tell-alls, however, can be 3 hour marathons! 😊

David!

Now we can really see the chest tattoo- any ideas on what it is?

That commercial is triggering me- it was a daily scene in my kindergarten class for 38 years! I loved my job, apart from that!

Move over, Shakespeare, Daonte's in town!

Branwin has truly stunted her emotional growth at 14: "Dude! I'm doing my homework!"

Ray: You gonna be a bridezilla? Me: Does he even need to ask???? Does he know her????

I feel we say that about every character on this show!! 😂

I'm wondering if Destinee thinks Shawn owes her LAL money? Maybe she has all these cockamamy reasons because she doesn't want to break the 4th wall. Nah...

Why am I not surprised at the state of Kathy's boyfriend?

We know its fakery if Marcelino is trying to ditch the producers. They are the ones with the paycheck!

I'm ready for the nuptials, sporting a fresh butterfly tattoo and tarantulashes. I'm hoping the dress code is casual, since I wore my white sweat pants...

These women must have watched the show and decided to come to the reunion with guns a-blazin'. I was a little taken aback by some of the alliances and newly formed enemies. Some of these issues have obviously come up post filming. I wonder if Ayan's popularity is rubbing some of the women the wrong way. Or, it could have been some of the interviews she's done. Can't wait for next week... and the Book of Lies!
