hahah, so on point.  I actually loved him on PR years ago, even though his work was mostly terrible, but he irks me big-time on this show.  but then he has the occasional amazing one-liner (calling Lineysha a "sex-shooter" killed me dead) and I am glad he's still around.

I know!  when they said they had a special guest I was all "aaaaa maybe it's Jessica Wild!  but probably not."  but it was!  I love her.  and she looked gorgeous as always.

oh!  I just remembered the brief fantasy I had last night where Alyssa
appeared on Dallas as a Sue Ellen Ewing doppelganger.  I know this is
just the sort of thing that happens when you come home sick after work and chase your Nyquil with a non-Absolut cocktail and catch up on your Drag Race and your stories, but I

my top three from day one still stands:  Jinkx, Detox, and Alaska in no particular order.  while Detox hasn't been as impressive as I'd hoped, she still beats the hell out of Coco, and Roxxxy?  when she made her first entrance into the workroom I was all SHANNEL NO. 6 but I have since taken that back and I am sorry,

yeah, I just wonder if that's the endgame for the show, or if they'll have the stones to do it relatively early and then continue with Carl running shit.

I love Alyssa, totally and completely; she's maybe the first queen on this show to demonstrate that being delusional can be a great thing.  Coco, on that note, can EAT IT

all season I've been hoping this inevitable LSFYL would end in a miracle—how satisfying would it have been if Alyssa had won?  the slow-motion NOOOOOOOO that came out of me made my cat run in terror.

hard to tell where they're going with him after that finale, but I'll predict that 1) he'll pop up shortly before the midpoint of season 4 and 2) Carl will be the one who gets him in the end.  (in that vein, I like the couple of suggestions I've heard that the show will eventually bring us to Carl vs. Rick.)

hahahah, I admit I had trouble with the first couple of episodes and didn't get back to it for a long time, but on that one (actually the last episode I watched) I was sold.  I hope his relationship with his daughter gets played out more, it makes Tommy more of a real person.

thanks for this!  I'm kind of surprised I've never made an Archer-specific cocktail—I swear we come up with something new for Drag Race every week. (heretically, not with Absolut.)

also Michelle has grown on me quite a bit, which is nice because she'll probably win.  at first I was all "Portland, next" but then I became impressed by how much thought she puts into her pieces, like she's putting together a puzzle or a difficult equation.  her process intrigues me.

oh God, her flaring nostrils and her stupid voice and ugghhhh I am beyond done with that one. this was a time I really wanted them to mess with the format, just to put her in the bottom two with Richard where she belonged and see her blow a gasket.  I honestly think that possibility occurred to her and was making her

aw, I liked Cat Man's ideas, and was hoping to see where he'd go, but then he made the grave mistake of making something beautiful while also not giving a fuck whether it flattered the model.  I think aside from the cat thing he was pretty next-level.

oh, Richard.  in my house you were known as the secret offspring of Ice-T and Spartacus, and then you came out in that collar that suggested you had just been neutered, FASHIONABLY.  we will miss you a little bit, but only just.
