The ads alone! That hair is insane, and I was a teenager in the late 80s/early 90s.

I just completed a supply chain management course for grad school, and I gasped when I saw this part. This is what happens when you expand without doing any kind of strategic assessment or forecasting of your supply chain. This is what happens when you use Google Sheets to manage sales and inventory rather than proper supply chain and sales management tools. Oh and hiring your uneducated children to run major departments. See people deserve to fail.

So I just finished this trainwreck. I have many thoughts. I was flipping out when Mark was poo pooing actual supply chain and CRM software and trying to do things like maintain inventory and A/R and A/P on the free version of Google Sheets. Then they brought in their children to manage an exponentially expanding business? No wonder they had supplies sitting outside in boxes. There was no way to them to calculate and project their inventory needs! How do you get a bonus check for $300,000 ($150K if you plan for taxes) and save some of it??? That just blows my mind. Even Louis Vuitton doesn't cost that much - at least the showy stuff these women purchase. The part where Mark thought he was the second coming of John Smith was priceless. The part where Mark spoke for DeAnne about feminism. Agreed the documentary didn't touch on the 99 percent of people not making money. I highly recommend the podcast The Dream which covers the other 99 percent. It's not an ongoing one. It tells the story and it's finished. https://www.stitcher.com/show/the-dream The lack of constructive business advice other than "work hard" was mindboggling. Stop spending money on conventions and bring in actual people that can help these women build their businesses and protect themselves! 100 new patterns a day? Holy shit! I don't blame Kelly Clarkson. A lot of celebrities do conventions. It's not like the seedy underbelly of LuLaRoe was out for everyone to see and it's not like Kelly is going to know the inner turmoil. She probably got the PR speech on them "empowering women" and that's about it. I'm sure they threw her in some right before she went on stage.

I totally think this as well. Kylie is talented but there is no way Ru would pass up 2 opportunities: 1 - to endear herself to the trans community and 2 - have an earlier season girl win to prove she isn’t “ignoring” the older casts or an older queen. (Not that she’s old but old in the eyes of RPDR) And Raja needs to stop trying with “Ohh my gaawd.” Fetch isn’t going to happen.

Think this would’ve made more sense with Wolfe. The last we saw Gregor, he was practically in suicide mission mode. I don’t see him as getting back to the Republic and becoming a trainer no less.

I'm surprised Crosshair didn't think that the clones on Ryloth hadn't heard "Execute Order 66." Although, it would be an interesting twist to learn that they did hear it and some retained a bit of free will.

All I can think of when I see this is when in either the last show or the show before that Michelle started saying how Rose reminded her of Bianca and Ru cut her off before she could even finish her name. I wonder what that was all about? I found that extremely strange since Bianca has to be one of the most successful queens that was ever in the show.

Y'all I can't even bother to watch anymore. I just come here to read your comments and I wait for Trixie's recap. Kandy's just ruined the show for me this season. It's not even fun to watch. I'll watch the finale. I think. I'm in the "please Gob anyone but Kandy" camp at this point.

On this week's Pit Stop, Nikki Doll basically said the same thing. Every week the queens shade her.

Agreed. This was the first of one of these challenges where it wasn't difficult to watch, and you get someone that is completely against getting the makeover. At least with a fellow drag queen, you might still be disappointed, but it's not like you're hurting someone from the outside.

Kandy made Untucked all about her. Again. She is absolutely exhausting. It’s really shitty Denali went home for Olivia’s misread of the challenge, but damn Olivia’s face was rough.

Kandy did not do Patrick Starr at all and she also whiffed a huge throw RuPaul gave her. Patrick Starr has a makeup line called “One Size” and she missed it. It’s a blessing to her that not a lot of people follow YouTube makeup people and RuPaul seems to love her. And now I’m going to hide in a corner for knowing this factoid. Oh Utica. It’s not cultural appropriation if the person has the hair. Interesting that Elliott commented on her hogging the stage. Hmm.

I don't think I'm watching the same show as the judges. In what universe did Kandy almost win for that lackluster performance and that trash outfit? I don't know if I want to keep watching, to be honest.

That's how I feel about Kandy being Safe while Joey was in the bottom. There was no way Kandy would win against La La Ri. However as much as I enjoy the humorous lipsyncs, right now it seems like the easy path to a win, and that's not good either. I love Tamisha's exhaustion towards Kandy. I totally recognize it. As a fellow 50 year old, dealing with a flaky 20something on my grad school team, I feel this so hard. I don't know if I can take Kandy sucking the oxygen out of the room for Untucked. Can someone summarize it?

So mad right now. Why on earth was Kandy safe while Joey Jay was in the bottom? At least Joey's looked like she tried to deconstruct the bags. Kandy hotglued actual backpacks to her waist. As much as I loathe Santino, he would have destroyed her. And the producers tricked me. I really thought they were going to send Kandy home because she was in interview room all the damn time, and they didn't feature Joey much at all. I was so pissed that I didn't watch untucked. Looks like I'll have to watch Queen Tamisha.

Yep. India’s shenanigans directly resulted in everyone voting her out the next week. Alexis was screwed. You could tell the others were pissed and even embarrassed for falling for it. Derek was living for it because he was vindicated. India can take her tittles and sashay away from my screen. Part of the reason I’m so annoyed by this is that from the start, Shae has acted like she’s entitled to the crown. She made such a huge deal out of getting votes. India saw that and fed it. It really made the season tough to watch. I will always have a soft spot for Ongina. Her dress was gorgeous. I was pulling for JuJu like everyone else, it seems.

The phrase you’re looking for, India, is “lie of omission.”

Queens need to just stay away from YouTube stars.

India is shady as hell. She was pulling this garbage last week too. I wish she got picked the first week instead of Derek. She filled in the blanks that it wasn’t as shady as she made it sound when she was talking with Michelle.

Funny, I thought Cracker was the weakest. Her performance was flat to me. Telling how Mayhem as so kind about India and India ... not so much. It’s time for her to go. I have a soft spot for Mayhem. I’ve never met her, but we have mutual friends and I’ve heard nothing but good things about her.

I'm surprised Michelle hasn't dragged Sherry Pie for her unchanging makeup - those spider lashes, oy! She got on Crystal's case in the second episode if I remember correctly. I'd say she's done it and it was cut, but Sherry keeps showing up with those damn lashes. I'm guessing Sherry was very much being set up for a win, so she wasn't called out. I love me some Heidi, but that was a terrible misstep. Watching her and the judges tap dance around her partner's size was painful to watch.

The first thing that jumped into my head when the Armorer said Baby Yoda was too weak to train as a Mandalorian was Yoda saying to Luke, “Judge me by my size, do you?”

Another thing I caught on the second viewing was the WTF faces of Cara and Greef during the Armourer/Mandalorian ritualistic exchange. Reminded me of when I took my husband to a Catholic wedding and mass. 🤣

Oh damn, Cara is from Alderaan. That one piece of information conveys so much. She said eons not centuries. An eon is an undetermined long time which could be either decades or centuries. And the darksaber! I screamed when I saw it. And now I have to pretend I haven’t watched it when my husband comes home.

I watched it again and the scene right before he Force Chokes Cara, he looks absolutely terrified. His eyes get big as saucers and it's like he's in tears. It was very interesting. I think the montage of the droid is supposed to be a metaphor for Baby Yoda. It's going to be all about how he's raised. With Baby Yoda being so strong in The Force, he has to get guidance from someone who is also strong in the Force, or at the very least know what it is. He can't stay with Mando, and that breaks my bitter heart. Wow, Mando was losing his shit when he couldn't get a hold of Kuiil. Poor Kuiil.
