That's also a borderline personality.

These are some of the stupidest haunted house inhabitants! LOTS of disbelief needs to be suspended. I was thinking of the comparison to Murder House as well and agree that MH did haunted house character motivation MUCH better.

Not a bad episode, with solid startles and spooks along the way. The stuff with Flora was legit creepy, and Angela Bassett is bringing it as usual.
Emily's review seems a bit harsh about the characters' motivations to continue residing in the house considering almost every single haunted house story has that as a

I must've said "I hate Phi Phi" 50 times tonight, though she was serving up serious Cheri Oteri as Collette Reardon realness in Showsquirrels.

Good points. Just realized that the interview format also leads us to believe the characters survive whatever ends up happening… unless there's a twist there.

Do we think that the entire season will be Roanoke Nightmare, or just this one ep, or maybe just a few eps? It doesn't seem like the interview format can sustain an entire season.

Great point about Ginger standing out during her season but falling into the background on All Stars. It was her time to go.

The song is basically at one level the entire time without any significant build, leaving the queens at that one level. Alyssa's was the better performance for being more controlled, with Detox just doing that turn in place several times. But overall it was very underwhelming, and I think the song choice was a big

Less Todrick, more Ross!!

totally agree about katya's bjork.. i think it was more aligned with alyssa's joan than alaska's mae

That's fair! I'm no big Roxxxy fannn either. Phi Phi's manipulation was about as subtle as Alyssa's Joan.

WHAT AN EP!

ME TOO!!!!!!!!!

Alyssa also looks like a tiny dog getting a bath in her boy drag

*really doing something = being hottest by process of elimination. Detox looks something frightful in the talking heads

It's cool… we don't need to recognize any of the characters in the accompanying graphic.

I'm reading the Good Lord Bird by James McBride - excellent read. Fast, funny, very thought provoking and relevant for the extremely racially divisive times we still live in.

Ru was giving us fruit roll-up realness last night!! Living for her look

In addition to this season bringing the best top 4, it has also brought a fantastic judge's panel. I could've listened to them go on even more, and I'm glad the episode made room for us to hear what they had to say about each queen's overall strengths and weaknesses.
