I'm not looking forward to seeing her come back in season ten either. I already don't love it when queens are brought back later in their own seasons and Cynthia has proven that bringing someone back because their time on the show was cut short, while noble, tends not to make for the most engaging television or cast

I don't even want to imagine what type of disaster would've come out of the unholy alchemy of Kardashians + Lucian Piane.

Yeah, this one was tough to watch, especially with the other girls yelling at Charlie from the sidelines. Trinity did a great job, but it's kind of marred by Charlie standing there and doing almost nothing throughout the song, especially if she had a cracked rib and the producers didn't think that was worth telling

Trinity's lipsync was amazing. She's full of herself, but at least she can back it the hell up. Even if Charlie had been good at lip syncing, Trinity probably still would've easily sent her home. She connected with the song and brought 110% to it. Like she said, now the other queens will know that when she lipsyncs,

I think Adore took off her shoes and won in her lipsync against Joslyn. It might not work very often, but anything would've been better than the dead fish performance that Charlie gave.

I don't think there's ever been a lipsync where anyone so completely demolished her competition. Trinity's sense of fun and energy made Charlie's potted plant-like lipsync even more uncomfortable to watch. There've been a few lipsyncs where both people were lackluster, but none where one person was amazing and the

I really disliked her too by the end of her run. She was so willing to throw other queens under the bus and bad-mouth them and she didn't even have the courtesy to make it funny. I also remember her being off-puttingly bossy during challenges. You're definitely not alone in disliking her.

I enjoyed watching Kimora too. I know she was bitchy and didn't have the talent to back up her high self-opinion, but she was memorable and entertaining on a level that few other queens this season are.

We've been so spoiled by amazingly funny and likable queens like Jujubee and Katya

Frank had a great monologue, but Fiona has been the emotional lynchpin of the show for seasons now. If we're paying people based on their amazing emotional moments, then Emmy Rossum absolutely deserves her raise.

That's what I thought too. This is the first season since the fourth that I haven't dropped when I lost interest and then went back to binge later.

I still enjoy Shameless for Fiona and the general depressing-ness of having one high school graduate in a family of six, but Debbie's storylines have been really hard to watch since season four. I also despise Frank and his general useless screen-time-sucking presence. The relationship between Carl and Dominique's

It's good you got something out of it even if it wasn't quite as much as you would've liked. I completely agree that Priscilla Faia was the standout. She was so warm, charming and likable that I can easily believe that both of them would've fallen for her within a few minutes of meeting her. Yeah lol. Those neighbors

Hopefully it'll pave the way for more sympathetic depictions of people in non-traditional relationships on slightly more mainstream networks. The neighbors were so ridiculously and soapishly nosy. The whole plot to catch Jack and Emma in bed with their niece is actually really hilarious in retrospect even though it

I'm sorry you didn't like You Me Her. I admit that its social message might've made it more appealing to me than it would've been otherwise. In most pop culture, non-monogamy is presented as this kooky and degenerate practice that the morally upstanding lead has to veto in order to prove their superiority to the other

I just started watching Downton Abbey a few days ago. It's a much more fun soap than I'd remembered. For some reason, I thought it was really dry and stuffy when I first watched it, but it isn't at all.

Upvoted for your spooky premonition about Quantico's ratings freefall, but as a fan of both shows, I hope you're wrong.

It annoys me so much when people act like the oppression that affects them personally is the only form that matters.

Sometimes, but when you use something that happened in a book as proof that it happened in real life your argument doesn't hold much water. Orwell wrote speculative dystopian fiction based on his reactions to and interpretations of what he thought was changing at the time. His subjective conjecture about a possible

The Crucible was fiction. Using it as an example of something you're trying to argue is real doesn't help your case.
