So, I had somewhat the opposite of this. My recurrent stress dream for the past- 20 or so years is that it is Christmas Eve only I’ve just realized it. The only open store is the little convenience store in my small town and I am going up and down the aisles searching for Christmas presents for my spouse and children.

I don’t know if this is something anyone else is having - I keep dreaming about people who I used to be close with. The reasons I don’t talk to most of these people anymore are usually undramatic (e.g. old work friends that drifted after we left the job). In all of the dreams, these people are either angry with me, or…

I had the weirdest dream, last night. I’d taken apart something in the home with a screwdriver. Can’t remember what it was, a phone a television, but it was something that got good use. Anyway, I tried to put it back together and the screws wouldn’t fit and the thing started crumbling in my hands. I was SO frustrated…

My anxiety dreams almost always involve public and unwanted nudity and/or trying desperately to take a shower and being unable to reach a bathroom to do so. When I have one it’s so familiar it’s actually less stressful than whatever’s stressing me out.

Jeff Goldblum really believes he is that charismatic, right? And that he is naturally funny, right?

Yes, Jackie’s Canadian bit was actually funny enough. I think it was Widows time to leave, but Gigi should have lip synced even though I know she’s a strong contender to win.

It’s really interesting to see that, as the field narrows and demands more, how the cracks are showing a bit with Gigi. Her drag is good but her lack of experience in life outside of the fortunate environment she has - something highlighted very recently - is showing the weak spots. For a long time she seemed like a…

I thought this was hilarious, but also Jeff Goldblum’s Islamaphobia is noooot a good look. Gigi should have lipsynced. Raven was a perfect Tim Gunn: hilarious and good actionable advice. Rachel Bloom was amazing. She gave heartfelt advice about how to separate criticism about your art from yourself that comes from…

This is the second heartbreaking elimination after Rock for me. I really thought Ru should have saved them both but I guess the season didn’t allow for that.

Yes

I’m shocked that a company who’s name was a joke about how Asians can’t pronounce the letter ‘L’ would have racist employees, shocked I say.

The thing is, pie could’ve totally worked for this challenge if she’d added a gobbledegook of wellness buzzwords —gluten-free being the most obvious choice— but she just choked and forgot to add the funny. Not crying over it in any case, given who we’re talking about. 

“Jackie and Gigi together were so fantastic at passive-aggressive compliments they could be Southern grandmothers (a compliment I do not give lightly) and, once this season is over, should really consider a podcast dedicated solely to sweetly insulting other people.”

Farewell to the Lea Michelle of drag. I don’t think a thirstier tryhard than Jan has ever graced this competition.

Can we talk about how TERRIBLE Bob Harper was on this episode?

If you’ve never seen his one man show, it’s a great ride: funny, moving, and absolutely captivating. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (free on Amazon Prime)

After all these years, I still portmanteau the names of two attractive movie stars who hit at the same time, have both been leading men to Julia Roberts, and are undoubtedly interchangeable to every casting director in town. But I still call them both Dylan McDermott Mulroney.

Team Erika

Their exchange when Conan compares himself to Anne Frank, Sona calls him out, and he peevishly admits being wrong was my favorite part of the movie.
