It probably should've been a two-hour season opener. This episode was still mostly setting the stage for the rest of the season so I'm hopeful that it settles back into a groove next week.

Just Google "Justine" and read the Wikipedia page. It's the first result.

It's a joint production with Sky. Showtime is on the hook for less of the production costs so they're probably looking for more prestige than ratings.

Victor just needs to embrace his homosexuality.

This was one of the few times any of Dorian's stories has really worked.

Piper has still had less to work with than Green but you are correct that she's been a powerhouse for a while now. Her tabletop speech seemed like the first time she's been able to have a real scenery chewing, force of nature performance that Green gets on the regular. But yes, long may she slay.

Lily can stay but they could tone down the revolution story. It's too cartoonish to continue at this pitch for much longer.

Sigh. Why can't we have both? (yeah, yeah, scheduling, whatever)

YASSS! ALL OF THIS. So ready for Lily to go all Lemonade on their asses. I'm guessing her escape causes Jekyll to be injected with the serum and become Hyde.

Yeah, this was is definitely truer to life and more interesting that her being an overt racist. I think she's going to fall more in the realm of unconscious stratification racism in which there are the "good blacks" and the lesser, faceless, rudely stereotypical black population of drug dealers and welfare queens or…

I'm pretty sure the dueling shows are done already. And both shows were filming simultaneously, so it seems like each was just going to have fewer camera angles to work from.

I'm thinking Hot Rachel might be The Bachelorette for season 3…

Meh…do reality stars ACTUALLY talk like human beings on the shows though?

Contractual obligation. Blowing the Suitor's cousin and not hiding it would be an easy out.

I read it the same way but I think it came from a place of jealousy. It can be two things!

I was thinking of a YouTube studio until Rachel mentioned the subject of one of his videos. Definitely Vice.

Quinn's writing has been as good this season but Constance sells the shit out of it anyway. Bless her.

Right? He's easy on the eyes but the character is just awful.

I really wanted Quinn to hit him. Hard.

I really think (and hope) this is the last season of The Bachelor.
