Muguruza is in a shambles.

Ben’s father Bryan was, and still is, a dish:

We’ll see if it holds, but Raducanu is currently running away with the match against Vika. Edit: Two bagels back to back: one for Serena, one for Vika.

Does LSV still write for the show?

Regarding the ever-expanding franchise:

Lee would look much better without this hideous sheer shirt:

I literally forgot Heather Tom was still on this show.

She and JMW are the two best actresses on the show. (Rena is actually better at elevating shoddy material.) Yet Quinn had become useless. How could they let her sit on the sidelines during all the Brooke/Sheila drama? B&B is very unsubtle and by-the-numbers, which is probably one of its strengths, viewer wise. RS deserves a project she can sink her teeth into, but this ain’t it. Neither is present-day GH IMO.

From what I saw, Raducanu was more solid than she’s been since that fairy-tale USO run (she could have easily gotten rattled by the occasion yet remained poised), but Serena was definitely way subpar and lacked match fitness.

Serena was… not happy with herself to get bageled by Raducanu.

That is a very lovely tribute indeed.

That was the last episode I watched too. Actually the last episode of any soap I’ve watched. I dunno. Just sad.

I was actually coming to post this. Very tragic. “Found dead in his U.S. apartment.” Even stateside, I remember how big that season of Pop Idol was, with Will Young winning.

This is so shameful and embarrassing (but not that surprising) from Y&R. Glad I no longer watch.

Totally fine with it being contrived. I just thought the finale was a low-energy, repetitive snoozefest, which is a shame because the rest of the season was fun enough due to the high talent level. (The RPDR finales are never good, but this disappointed me because these are the Avengers of Drag Race.) Give us a real showcase for everyone’s talents, not just the vogue queens. And if they are going to do a lip-sync smackdown, at least vary the styles of the songs a bit more.

Slight Pheila vibes.

One big problem is that all the lip syncs, aside from “Push It,” were dancey pop-diva numbers that favor the glamour queens. Very same-y. There was nothing quirky and eccentric like the Yma Sumac song that Jinkx killed it with up against Detox: Re: overexposure: I definitely get the sense that RuPaul is cashing in while he still can, while drag is hot. The old girl still looks great in drag, but he’s not getting any younger. Too bad that he may damage his legacy.

This is just such a beautiful song, in that geeky David Byrne kind of way.
