The bitches plotting to get Manila. YOU NEVER WILL!
Some may say it's a cheap stunt and blah, but I bought EVERTYTHING AND LOVED IT.
Must specify my adoration for Farrah's outfit though. She was living the pop star fantasy to the fullest, and was great at it!
It's a weird experience to enjoy a show that can make you feel so uncomfortable.
GINA! I am so happy.
What a fun premiere! And very interesting queens too. I can't wait to learn who's the 14th! I understand people have some notions because of some very plausible clues, but considering Ru's taste for shade in his show, I'm thinking it will be someone far naughtier than congenial... Anyway, whoever it might be, great first episode.
Gaga as a guest was great and it was really nice seeing not only her positive energy and message, but also her passion for fashion and the respect she has for it as art.
The queens overall seemed very strong and polished, on a much higher level than other now iconic former competitors were on their first episodes. Tricks that many queens only learned during the show (thanks to Michelle Visage's tough love) seem to already have been mastered by many, so I'm looking forward to see how will they take their drag even further!
As for favorites, for some reason I find myself cheering for Jaymes and I'm hoping she'll come to herself soon! I also really like Charlie, as both a person and an artist, and Peppermint just has this funky yummy flavor to her that drew me in immediately. I will not guess the top 3 yet, but I really hope these three have lots of screen time! :)
Kelsey and Liza are friendship goals <3
This episode featuring the impact of gender roles in education was just brilliant. I'm impressed Disney has brought this up at all, considering how very fond of gender stereotypes their shows tend to be. I just loved this little feminist note on the show. Very sweet.

Seriously? Most people from outside the U.S. are familiar with American holidays, be it Columbus Day or Martin Luther day, or the biggest of all, Thanksgiving. But even though I have studied in an American university and have tons of American friends, I had never before heard of Juneteenth. The underrepresentation of the holiday seems pretty obvious. I think it must be very bold for the show to reivindicate it, and they did it beautifully. If there is one flaw to it, it is that they set an incredibly high bar for the rest of the season, the episode was amazing! And definitely very educational. Also, I loved Aloe Blacc's participation as a guest, he is a fantastic musician!
I did not think much of the first episode, but after this, I am hooked. I enjoy the pace and the length too, it's a new format for this genre.
Oh, my god. I nearly quit this show in the middle of the awful past season, but this episode was SO GOOD it basically made up for all the annoyance that came before.
Esse vídeo todo é fantástico, mas a polícia me fez rir alto!
This episode had so many things I had never thought about!
Aw, seriously. What an adorable episode. Brick watching Grandpa Big Mike was extremely adorable, and Sue making new friends thanks to Axel was great too. I really like the episodes that focus on their relationship, they're my favorite siblings on TV!
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.
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 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?
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.
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.
There are no words for how much I love this show, and this episode.
"Why are the hot ones always gay or nazis?" Hahahah.
The writing on this show is usually great, but this episode was particularly excellent. And without the questionable style choices from the previous episode, it delivered real quality! I love how they are going beyond the limitations of the "sitcom" label. Blackish is a true jewel in the ABC repertoire, and wow, does it shine!
My favorite episode of them all so far! Tammé is a great character, and the moment with her son was lovely, simple and heartwarming.
RuPaul! With a spiritual presence of Laganja and Alaska, ahaha. Love it!
Diana is my spirit animal.
From now on, I identify as age-queer.
I love how they used Charlize's character from Monster to describe Rita pre-surgery, hahaha.
I laughed way too much while watching this, best episode in the season so far!
I don't think I've ever given the Kardashians more than a passing glance as their pictures tend to pop up a lot, but less so when you aren't in social media like me. This Kardashian musical is awesome though, and I would actually pay a ticket to watch it live! This RPDR episode was particularly enjoyable not just for the great entertainment of the performance, but also because there was a lot less bickering than usual. Everyone was actually pleasant and civil towards each other (at least in the episode, who knows what we'll see on Untucked).
You know, I totally get Nina. Sulking is fine, and some of us do it, and we can't help it. I know it's a horrible attitude and bums everyone out and all, but... I sure can't help it, and apparently neither can Nina. The difference between me and her though, is that she at least tries to deliver despite personal objections, so I give her mad props for that alone. I really hope she'll recover from this low, because she's totally awesome in everything she WANTS to do.
I also totally get Farrah Moan - I also completely lack coordination and stage presence, but then again, I didn't make that into my line of work. I want to like her because she's so cute, but cute isn't enough.
That elimination thought - NOT EXPECTED. But I'm looking forward to next season, because as many personality flaws this queen had, SHE DELIVERED!
I just love Kelsey SO MUCH!
I am totally into this.
