Vegas, baby! Emily is working? If Emily is only just starting to consider your feelings, Kobe, you should be concerned I'm with Emily's dad on this one...spending money on a ring right now is stupid Ah Kobe is learning how expensive rings are Emily's sister seems sweet Kobe just had it all in cash? Finally Bilal's sister sees a flaw in Bilal's actions Can you put kids as a mandatory in a prenup? Oop Ari you said out loud that you aren't sure you'd get married if you didn't have Avi Ah yes, the ex Ari is definitely still in love with Oh right, Bini and Leandro fought Ugh, Ari Leandro giving Bini advice on Ari is weird Okay so Patrick's mom was into drugs Patrick doesn'tlook like his brothers Carlos is a cutie Oop Thaís, you revealed the secret Yve...I hate to say it...but aren't you too old to have kids? Oop Mohamed said Yve had too much freedom growing up Oop Mohamed said that Yve would be a bad influence on a child Oop Jibri's mom is con...

Ru design challenge! Monét's Dolly outfit continues to be amazing Jinkx, please block one of the two star queens Yvie...I'm so confused by your metaphor cause you were speeding past and then crashed so are you saying you're going to crash and burn? Colleen looks so cute Gotta love innuendo Gotta love some order drama Raja, you could easily be right "I believe in witchcraft, hot glue, and gumption" Betsey Johnson seems like she'll be a fun guest Jinkx has lost it Scheming time "the blocking block" "Trinity the Truck" Ru's look is interesting but I don't love it I think Yvie looks great The Vivienne looks beautiful Shea looks fantastic I can't believe Trinity made that look in so little time I don't really like Raja's look personally Jinkx looks adorable Jaida looks gorgeous (as always) Monét's look is super fun "Bed, Bath, and Beyond Thunderdome" I really thought Shea would be in the top I like Jaida's b...

Just some feelings, in brief. Nine of mortal men, Doomed to rule til death parts us, And leave us in darkness. I'm no mere vessel To fill or shatter at will I'm a whole being. SCOTUS time traveled Us all backwards some decades. How far will we go? Say it with me now Bodily autonomy should be our land's law. Raged heart, tearful eyes, Spill over into my mind, Demanding action. (Prompt by me) "U.S. Supreme Court Building" by Gary Todd

I decided to do some research because I was curious what the court was up to. I pulled a lot of direct quotes and I encourage you to read my sources. Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization : overturned the constitutional right to abortion established by Roe v. Wade in 1973 New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen : the court ruled that states with strict limits on carrying guns in public violate the Second Amendment Carson v. Makin : the court ruled that a Maine program that excludes religious schools from a state tuition program is a violation of the free exercise of religion Shurtleff v. Boston : the court ruled that the City of Boston had violated the First Amendment when it refused to let a private group raise a Christian flag in front of its City Hall Houston Community College System v. Wilson : the court ruled that elected bodies do not violate the First Amendment when they censure their members Ramirez v. Collier : the court ruled that Texas would violate a f...

Girl group time! Oh Jinkx predicted the top two Jinkx...how can you think The Vivienne is an ally? Aw I didn't know Raja was inspired by Dolly Does Dolly have a ton of tattoos? Yes Monét, they played to their strengths The Vivienne...you literally did the same thing Raja would like a scream and run I think Lol Monét So is this not Tove Lo's typical style? Wow that is not a lot of time Did Monét say "Pandemi Lovato"? Ha, Trinity Aw I like this moment between Trinity and Monét Jinkx is hilarious The Vivienne is giving some clarity I guess the Vivienne had some bad girl group challenges in her original season? Yvie...you said earlier that you'd be happy with a handout Aw I love Raja and Jinkx together Jinkx, you had to know that it was at least 50/50 you or Jaida (and that with Vivienne winning it'd more likely be you) Can't wait til next episode!

Looks like we have some fights a'brewin'. You wanted a 200 person wedding when you don't have a job, Emily? Rocky City admittedly isn't super impressive, but it seems fun Princess and Penguin is a fun name for a wedding outfit shop I like this first dress Emily is in, but I don't love it Emily is 29 with a kid...she should be more grown up already I like dress #2 better Emily's mom is right, marriage is about more than the ring Sigh...Emily...you shouldn't have spent the money on a ring when neither of you have a job and you have a child to support This poor shop attendant Emily's sister seems somewhat sane The Black Serbs didn't even finish their album...shocker Jibri is right to be suspicious Jibri...you and Miona should have a beach wedding later WOW JIBRI Okay, Jibri's dad (I don't know names), getting another K-1 visa is really difficult So is it that you can't  go to the wedding or that you won't  go? Patrick, why did you bring ...

Girl group time! Oh Jinkx, c'mon Yeah, seriously the Vivienne I like Raja and Jinkx conspiring Can Jinkx and Raja give stars to each other? Of course Yvie gets one of the extra stars Huh I wasn't really expecting Jaida We're midway through? Man, I don't know all of these people Ru is listing...I've never been hip, have I? Oh Ru is just letting them be a free for all?  Well that was an orderly free for all Ah some drama for group selections Thanks for the fun fact, Trinity MSTR is a better group name than The Other Girls "Will you be singing or rapping?" "Yes" The Other Girls seems really incoherent Jinkx was a LARPer! Strippers are professionals, Trinity Jinkx and Yvie's entrance was funny "We took lemons and made lemon juice" Jaida and Jinkx having their stars kiss was adorable I like Ru's look but don't love it Tove Lo's look is insane and I love it (though I admittedly am not cool enough to know who she is) MSTR is fu...

Commencement speeches! Jinkx, it's not really making up for when you were blocked as you'll still be down one star Lingerie burqa is an awkward statement Yvie, every challenge is a strong challenge for you all Monét trying to act like she wasn't strategizing I always love hearing the conversations about the queens' pasts That's such a tough thing to pick between authenticity and safety Lol to Yvie's wig Oh Nikki Glaser gave more useful feedback that we didn't see (I think) So is Monét hiding her alliance plan or going back on it? Was Pelosi in 5 inch heels? Yes, vote in the midterms! And they all change Yvie's new wig does look incredible Well, The Vivienne, you said you'd double block Jinkx so yeah she was coming for you Can't wait til next episode!

I didn't watch live this time. You're leaving Shaeeda alone with your daughter? Do you have to wash your chicken? Yeah Shaeeda is a bit awkward Bilal should really be the bridge for what to call Shaeeda Poor Space Ca$h and Brandi (and the producer) Omg all Jibri was doing was texting Miona that his phone was going to be off "Creative nomad" Wow Emily doesn't even want Kobe touching her and the music is meant to make me think that was cute I think y'all should have a small wedding and then have a bigger party when you have money Emily's dad knows what's coming Well, Emily's dad (I don't know your name), Kobe can't work Yeah, Emily's dad, they are literally on a time frame This isn't the beginning of the relationship, Emily's mom (I also don't know your name), they've been together like two years Lol Thaís thought it was a cat Oop Patrick cheated Patrick...you're not helping your case Patrick...are you saying that you ...

Commencement speeches! Oop Vivienne, you might've been too honest So there is a plunger plus Oooh two stars Why are Jaida and Jinkx playing music? The alliance makes plans Vivienne, it's called strategy not pettiness I don't know who Nikki Glaser is other than from her annoying ads for her new show Is this meant to be a sincere or a comedic challenge (this is not the first time on this show that I've wondered this)? Hrm I'm not a huge fan of Ru's look because the rouching just makes me want to iron it (not that I know how) Nikki Glaser roasted Ann Coulter? Did the queens make their robes? No audience makes this a bit more awkward Monét is doing well and I love her hair Shea is just so beautiful Shea made me laugh out loud Trinity was fun I am not finding Raja as funny as Ru is (okay the combusting thing was funny) I'm glad Jaida brought back "look over there!" Yvie making fun of herself is great Jinkx did well Due to personal reasons, I'm a lit...

Fairytale justice! I like them all being nice They all did get good critiques but honestly I wasn't that impressed? Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman is so beautiful Chad Michaels is pretty great It was clearly porridge Aw Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman is so sweet I'd pick Jinkx I think Jaida was just hitting on Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman Wait why do they make them walk?

I didn't watch live this time. Bilal, treat the woman of your dreams better and she will come with you to Jumah Let's not refer to Bilal as daddy Shaeeda has been clear, Bilal I hope Kobe and Emily can move somewhere else Oooh I like Emily's purple dress I feel like there's too much manure (though I'm far from a horse expert) Emily...Kobe is doing fine It's almost like two months isn't a significant amount of time Jibri and Miona are matching again Gas is going to be cheaper where you are now, so you should fill up before getting to Chicago Wait wait wait...A COMA??? Oh Yve has a cartouche  Mohamed...you have to be okay with Yve not being a Muslim Okay Yve, if you're going to a mosque, it's respectful to wear the scarf Yve...how are you surprised?

Fairytale justice! Trinity, you're just showing that Shea's strategy was right I love that they're keeping this charade going Also you, Jaida...(as Trinity points out) This is a fun premise I'm glad we're not watching much prep time Well that's a lot of stuffed animals I like Michelle's 'WITCH' necklace Jaida's nose is so well blended (Monét's isn't) This is going on too long Does Shea know what fanny means in the UK? I might've missed it, but why is Yvie in both skits? This is also going on too long Monét and Raja having their own language is cute Huh they have made a pattern Jaida's look is fantastic I like Jinkx's look Monét's look is great Yvie's look is so unique I love Trinity's look The Vivienne's look is polished, but not my favorite I love Raja's mace, but not a fan of the flowy parts of her look I don't really like Shea's look either Oh wow I didn't realize how insane Yvie's shoes ...
