If they have the concept of hours and minutes, why were they counting time by fingers against the sun a few episodes ago?
I love how they used Charlize's character from Monster to describe Rita pre-surgery, hahaha.
This episode may have been the cutest thing I have seen on TV, and it completely sustains my opinion that the addition of Mayim Bialik to the main cast was the best decision TBBT producers ever made.
Mark Hamill was super funny, and it was great to see him on TV, but I laughed the most at Kripke singing at the end, John Ross Bowie is just so hilarious! He had about 20 seconds of screen time, and still he managed to be unforgettable!
"My cousin Susan didn't realize she could sing until her 40s!" I don't know I thought this was so funny, but I did, ahahaha.
When pop singers turn actors, it's often hard to see any character beyond their stage persona, but I'm so pleased by Lady Gaga's performance in the show. The Countess is definitely growing on me.
A lot of shade, a lot of drama, some very beautiful looks, and finding out Valentina is a sociopath - not an insult, just a fact.
I enjoyed seeing Hitchcock and Scully having more air time, and I specially enjoyed seeing them working with the rest of the cast separately, because the show often packs them as a single item. I understand their humor is known as being more crude, but I think it balances out with all the other different styles on the show.
Is anyone else watching on just for the sake of conclusion and cannot really wait for it to end...?
That lip sync was the best entertainment I've had in a year, and I completely disagree with Silky placing above Nina for Snatch Game. Nina] was so much better! She was funnier, better planned, and far more interesting to watch.
This was the best show I have not understood ever.
The only reason I watch this show is for Sheldon and Amy, and pure habit by now, but I am kind of glad they addressed Howard's behavior as being that of a jerk rather than just being "funny". And Raj with natural hair could totally be a Bollywood lead!
I am happy to see Beth Behrs as a guest star! She really needs a new show, I miss her terribly since 2 Broke Girls ended.
I love how they're taking Ofglen and giving her a plot explored separately from Offred's. Everything in The Handmaid's Tale is Offred's own account, and other characters barely exist when out of her sight, so this was a nice way to add further depth to the story. Will they use Nick in the same way, I wonder?
Ugh, I hate Jess. I really, really hate Jess. I don't think I've ever disliked a lead's romantic interest as much as I dislike Jess.
This was extremely upsetting.
I wonder if Mercedes left the show due to some new role? She is great, I hope to see her on screen again soon!
The bitches plotting to get Manila. YOU NEVER WILL!
Ouch, that butterfly thing was so uncomfortable to watch! I was quite sorry to see Asia out, since I think she was the queen with the best message, but that was really a failure... and sort of in disagreement with said message. The attempt was a bad mistake.
Still, I was ok with the results. I would have never guessed Aquaria would be such a lipsync slayer!
Also, can we talk about Kameron's first outfit, the princess gown? She looked straight out of a modern fairy tale anime, like Densetsu Pretear, or a CLAMP artbook. I think it was the most beautiful thing anyone wore tonight. Meanwhile, I felt like Eureka could have tried a little harder... a pencil skirt for a possible crowning seems a bit underdressed. And still talking fashion choices, l think we should all congratulate The Vixen for the first time she chose something actually beautiful to wear.
Well, this would have been a great episode for Ru to not send anyone home. I'm forever team Latrila, but Monet didn't deserve the chop either. I hate how people are seeing Manila, though. First they judge her for considering to choose with her brain, but then they judge her for choosing with her heart.
I really do like every contestant that is there right now, though. I think these people are absolutely fabulous, and all have chances to win, the season is absolutely impredictable to me.
I didn't think any of the performances were particularly great.. I just didn't think the stories were funny. The highlights of the episode for me were:
-Manila describing her character as Farrah Moan from Jersey;
-Naomi's look in the challenge;
-Latrice's hair in the challenge (LOOOOVED IT, it suited her so much!)
-Trinity and Valentina in the workroom: it's hilarious that the loyalty does not go both ways. I love Trinity, but she should know better than thinking Valentina does anything but look out for herself, everyone knows she's a highly functioning sociopath;
-Trinity's hair on the runway;
-Elton John's video message, ahaha.
Anyway. This season is going kill us all. I know it.
Liv and Tim echoing Will & Grace's closing line from last week's episode, "Why are the hot ones always gay or nazi?", hahaha.
I don't care if Derrick tries so hard and blah, honestly - she was a major bitch, and a very low one too. When she comes for people, she come to hurt, she's seriously mean. GOOD RIDDANCE, BITCH! Go be bitter elsewhere.
This was extremely uninteresting, and it has nothing to do with Manila's absence (though that certainly helps). The challenge itself was not that great, the script was not funny at all. The bad acting actually barely affected the results. To make matters worse, I did not like any outfit on the runway either... what a yawn.
"You smell like books and you are wise. You really are the whole package."
I actually enjoyed most of the storylines this time, and I love that Neil Gaiman participated in this! Penny's struggle with being heard and credited took a long time coming, but I loved that they finally mentioned it. I am not sure I liked where the Amy story went, but that was it. It was an actually good episode, the better one for a while.
I actually saw this one coming. This was the most Dela thing Dela has ever done.
Aw, Chi Chi. I felt my insides freezing when I noticed her name plate, I cannot imagine what she felt when the mistake was pointed out to her.
I was so relieved they chose the same person. I was TERRIFIED there.
I hoped Ra'Jah would redeem herself, she didn't. And it is shocking how mean they all were to Scarlet. I mean, surely, she was cocky, but never harmed anyone or said anything behind their back, or stirred things up! Also sad how I think Brooke Lynn was the one to speak positively about Yvie, because it felt like no one else would?
This was the shadiest cast of all, I think. Because these were not spur of the moment feuds that resulted in loud, dramatic bursts, but they were really hurtful towards one another and carried this hurt all the way back home. I don't think these girls will be friends or get to share careers in the way other drag race girls are known to do.
Silky makes Untucked incredibly annoying to watch. She is always salty about something, and when the video came out she was positively jealous. How can a person so full of horrible feelings make anyone laugh?
As a fan of the book, I was only disappointed at how they had erased the killer's background, and consequently, the real reasons behind the murder, which were so much more complex than simply defending Celeste out of instinct. I enjoy the added touch of how the group comes to be close friends after, and that wonderful feeling of sisterhood, a great story of women coming together to fight oppression and win! This was something that did not happen in the novel, but it worked well with the TV series.
Well. Wasn't that upsetting? Sincerely, if the other lipsyncing queen had gone home, it would also have been an unfair waste. I think Eliminated queen got too cocky after being constantly showered in compliments and behaved a little arrogantly by not learning the song, but to be fair, I don't think either of them really did so badly as the one who barely escaped. Miss Lucky getting spared by her team's overall performance right after trying to throw them under the bus was ridiculous. She should have gone home after bombing AGAIN and appearing with another BASIC look.
Now, bitterness discussed, can we talk about Trinity? She's been consistently surprising me. She isn't afraid of taking risks, of taking characters, of trying anything that is put in front of her. That one is a force to be reckoned with simply due to her sheer nerve. I feel that she doesn't even blink when taking on a challenge, she just tackles it! She is really growing on me.
Edit: after watching Untucked, the Eliminated's situation turned even more bitter to me. She was extremely aware that lipsyncing was a real possibility, and yet didn't prepare herself. Which is specially bad after getting read on her challenge because she hadn't prepare herself for that either. Girl, you got some explaining to do there. Was arrogance going over your head? You're pretty alright, but since [i]when[/i] has beauty ever been enough in this competition?! You need something to back it up.
First episode I didn’t want to slap Acid Betty, so yay. I was really happy to see Kim Chi, Naomi and Robbie all working together, that would definitely be my dream team - and I'm so happy they won! On the other hand, it upsets me with how they keep criticizing Chi Chi. I mean, I get it, her runway is kinda basic, but her performance trumps over everything, she’s killer on the stage, it doesn’t matter what she’s doing. At least she’s only basic in her wardrobe and not in life, like some other girls...
Also, at this point in the show, 8 years in, can we all just agree to KEEP THE DAMNED WIGS ON OUR HEADS DURING THE LIPSYNC? Yes? Thanks.
Vanjie seems to get prettier and prettier by the day!
And I believe Alexis side of the story. She has been upfront about her votes even when it was uncomfortable. Why lie now?
