The only people I really want to see dance to Freakazoid are: drunk people at weddings, and people with serious breakdance/ pop & lock skills (preferably wearing track suits, bucket hats, and zany zappers). So, I guess this song got the drag performance it deserved. I can't say I didn't laugh. Glad to see Thom Filicia. He was the most impressive of the original Queer Eye guys. His rooms were great and fit the straight guy's taste. Jimbo was the only one going for the raunchiness of a real roast. Like Jimbo, you felt it could go really wrong at any moment, which is part of the appeal of the format. Jessica's set was cute and funny. The others were sort of middle of the road. I'm glad to see the end of the tear-any of Alexis Michelle. Seeing her go.. [sniff] was the hard... hardest thing [dabs eyes].. I've ever had to do. And I AM joking, bitch!

Seriously? They’re wrapping this up in one episode? Now, I have to go back to the Blenheim Vale episodes. I can’t remember jack about it.

What the hell?

Though Jason has the eating and germ issues, I thought Will was the most high maintenance. He seemed to have a kidding-but-maybe-not-kidding way of wanting things to go a specific way. He’s much more aggressive. Sean was more go with the flow. I thought it was funny when Matt Damon looked at Jason and said “You’ve never had to audition. You’ve been famous since you were eight. I used to look at you on tv and think [high pitched voice] “I can do what he does.” It’s true, back in the days of three channels and little to no cable tv, all of them probably grew up watching Jason on Silver Spoons, It’s Your Move, etc. I know I did.

She may not be able to help this. Full cheeks and a tiny mouth make for a permanent pout.

I'm thrilled this show is back. Torturing uptight bakers with one more minute detail to obsess over, like checking for every clue, is hilarious. I do think the clues are harder this season, I think some of the desserts are harder this season, and I think some of the bakers aren't as knowledgeable as last season. Maybe if the show weren't so cheap, and actually had a winning team each episode that actually won money, they'd attract a stronger, more competitive group of players to choose from.

Oh, what a scene that must have been: The poor production member who had to tell RuPaul that yet another queen was quitting and one more was crying and possibly on the edge. Ru probably threw down her lobster salad, turned to a shoeless minion for a wet wipe, stormed off, commandeered some unwitting p.a.'s golf cart, drove enraged to the set ready to tear the girls a new one. Michelle might have run after her imploring "Be sweet, Ru. They're fragile." Ru responded "Ain't nobody got time for fragile". Then as Ru passed an electric vehicle, she thought about the oil derricks on her land and how soon they'd stop churning up her bank account, and reminded herself, "I need these queens, not as much as they need me... but still a need is a need", and she walked through the workroom with a determination to build the girls up and keep their spirits... and her profits... high. And she got her "Amen". Yes she did. *************** "Ugh, i just wanna be a drag queen that has fun, honey, and lives my best life, Lord." - LaLa Ri I want that for LaLa, too. The look on her face when she won: genuine shock, then pure joy, actually lit up the screen. She's taken over from Chi Chi DeVayne as the total sweetheart who deserves universal love and support. I hope she gets booked on all the tours and makes all the money.

Endeavor: "I was mostly following in Hardy's footsteps." Strange: "Oh were you? 'There's another fine mess, eh?'". The looks on both Morse and Thursday's faces when they realized Strange was thinking of Laurel and Hardy was fantastic.

I don't think either of them felt deeply for each other. Morse never seemed to have the passion for her that he had for, say, the woman who died in his arms in Season 7. I think he saw Joan as a safe choice. Someone he could turn to sometime, down the road, maybe. I think Joan saw that Morse wasn't deeply interested in her and that his "Marry me" was more a cry for help than a profession of love. They both were interested in each other but never on the same page at the same time. Although Strange is a better choice for a husband (he isn't terribly complicated and doesn't have a drinking problem), Joan seems much smarter than he is, and that could lead to the same level of boredom that her father showed when he was sitting at the table eating lunch with him. Strange is the opposite of the man who beat her (which is probably a large part of his appeal) but she should hold out for a good man who also can hold his liquor and her interest.

I think she’s doing the straight girl desperately trying to fit in and be sassy around the gay guys thing. The stress of the challenges should distract her from that path. Kara looks great and clearly has fans among the group. I admire her for withstanding Wendy Pepper. I forgot Mychael died and thought it would be nice to see him and Laura together again. They upped each other’s fashion game. I completely forgot who some of these people were. I’m glad they flashed back to their original seasons. I wouldn’t have remembered that other contestant from season one without her Sonic the hedgehog do. She looks way too conventional compared to everyone else and that might have something to do with why she was overlooked. Cast members are usually discouraged from talking to production while they’re on camera.

Thanks. Every week, I would have come to the All Stars forum wondering why no one was watching. 🤣

Was this Meet The Contestants episode the only one they’re showing this week? Because, nothing happened.

The “bought a hat” is about him being the good little spouse who just twiddled his thumbs, was idle all day and went shopping to give himself something to do rather than acting like the former diplomat / power player who can’t help stirring up trouble.

Yes. I was thinking about Relativity when Braxton was complaining about being stuck on Earth for 30 years and I forgot that in Time's End, Braxton's ship landed earlier than Voyager, so he was there for decades before Voyager got there. I still blame them for taunting me with Lieutenant Ducane as the FBI agent, though.

Oooh... the Voyager erasure... They just like to pluck Seven of Nine out of that series, and leave the rest behind. They were in LA in the 2020s and yet: No Sarah Silverman reprising her role as the helpful scientist from "Future's End". No crazy ass Captain Braxton, even though he was trapped on Earth for 30 years and should still be there. But, just to rub salt in my wound, Yes... they bring back the actor who played Lieutenant Ducane (who worked on the timeship with Captain Braxton in "Relativity") just to play some random FBI agent who has nothing to do with anything. For so long, I was hoping he'd reveal himself as Ducane. Honestly, they could have just had him standing on the street offering assistance to a mumbling disheveled Braxton with Seven doing a double take, and made a lot of people's day. But no... these mutha$^*k3#s tried it.

So true. It's hard to convey frustration and desire between characters who are already married to each other. The actors have to have the right kind of chemistry to pull this off.

I love Jimbo and want her to win, but I still would have put her in the bottom two. LaLa surprised the hell out of me. I did not see that performance coming. Kandy was okay, but she had the best musical number. Anyone (except maybe Kahanna) who had that role would have been in the top. I don't understand why Alexis didn't fight for either the "wire hanger" number or the "bring me the axe" one (actually, I do understand, she is realllly conflict averse). However, it doesn't take a degree in musical theater to know that those songs would most likely have props that would help steal the show. I think she was the best actor, but there was no way she was going to win with a short country/western number. And she needs a win, or else she's going to land in the bottom for no good reason, and never rise out of it. I also thought she had the best Grace Jones outfit, but nowadays the runways can only hurt a queen, not help her. Kandy definitely sent Jaymes home because she was possible competition and Kahanna isn't. Kandy has been trying to pick off the competition from the get go. She helped run off Heidi last week and if Jimbo gets in her sights, there will be no pact. I know she's a Ru fave, but I see a potential villain edit on the horizon.

This ending made me so happy. What a great way to end the show. I was so worried that they wasted all of last season showing Midge treading water that I thought they wouldn’t have enough time in ten episodes to do Midge’s career (and the series) justice, but they pulled it off.

That tap dance should win an Emmy.

I'm just getting to these episodes now, and considering this show has forgotten that Guinan already met Jean Luc (and Mark Twain) before, I'm pre-bummed that Sarah Silverman won't make an appearance and ask about Lt. Paris.

Connor’s future children’s birthday parties: CONNOR: The idea is that Kendall will pop by on the first floor, Roman hangs out on the second, and you stay up here on the third. And I think that’s just the cleanest. SHIV: Uh, okay. You think Kendall’s gonna pop by? CONNOR: Spoke with his nurse... [Crosses fingers] He’s hoping.

How the hell did Heidi, La La and Kahanna survive that? Not only was it bad, it didn’t even make sense as a TV show. Every week two dumb queens try to steal magical tucking panties? Darienne: “Track record, smack freckles, Jaymes is a bitch who keeps voting for me.” Jaymes: “I don’t wanna go home.” Alexis: “I think it’s in my best interest to avoid taking responsibility for anything I may or may not have said or done. Here… or ever.”

French intelligence might know this because the hit is going to happen on their soil. British intelligence is working with them.

I’m assuming the Tory MP Grove wanted to meet with Hal to tip him off (and no one else) that the Lenkov arrest mission is really an assassination, and that he knows why: because Trowbridge ordered the hit on his own military and Lenkov might give him up. And perhaps MP Grove has proof. That’s why his car would be bombed, so he couldn’t tell Hal what he knows, or at least he wouldn’t live long enough to provide evidence. It’s possible they were willing to kill Hal along with him. Ironically, I think Kate may have sealed Grove’s (and anyone else’s near that bomb) fate by calling Roylin, of all people, and tipping her off that Hal and Grove were going to meet. If Trowbridge is behind the attack then so is Roylin, she pulls his strings.

I thought that was more Kendall’s mother coming out of him. She is old British money. I also thought that was supposed to be one of the big differences between Connor and the other three is that they not only had different mothers but different kinds of mothers. I thought Connor’s mother was also from a more humble background like Logan and then once he made a name for himself, and she was put away, he could prove he had made it by marrying a woman from a previously untouchable class, like Caroline (a pattern Caroline is repeating with her current husband). I also assumed that was part the of the appeal for Logan to buy Nan Pierce’s company. It has that kind of prestige that comes from an old money publishing family like the Hearsts.
