RuPaul's Drag Race Recap: How Do You Solve a Problem Like Laganja Estranja?

RuPaul's Drag Race: Episode 7: "Glamazon by Colorevolution

&

Episode 8: "Drag Queens of Comedy"

These two episodes made a nice two-hour block of drag queen fun and also acted as the end of Laganja Estranja's arc on the show.  Oh Laganja.  When the season I started and she won the first challenge I saw lots of potential in Laganja.  I really thought she had the chops to make it to the top four.  I definitely saw her outlasting Trinity, Joslyn and Darienne.  Unfortunately, Laganja crumbled under the pressure.  I think she thought that she would just breeze in and this wouldn't be a challenge at all.  I get the feeling that she's had lots of things handed to her and she doesn't know how to deal with not excelling.  It also really rankled her to see her "friend" Adore doing better than her, even though she clearly thinks that she is better than Adore.  So, she retreated into her grating, annoying drag persona never to return.

The Real Housewives of Orange County Ninth Season Premiere Recap: Knee Deep

The Real Housewives of Orange County, Episode 1: "Hawaii Five Uh Oh"

The First Ladies of Bravo have returned with the ninth(!) season premiere.  Holy crap.  Who would've thought that this show would have lasted nine years, over 100 episodes, countless women and six spin off cities and it shows no signs of stopping.  The cast has gone through a bit of a shake up.  That's how things stay fresh.  Bye Alexis, Gretchen and Lydia.  You'll go where other faded reality TV stars go, to couples counseling shows on VH1.  I think we can all agree that we'll see Gretchen and Slade on one at some point.  When old Housewives are put out to pasture leave for greener pastures, new Housewives step into fill that void and this season is no different.  Two new ladies will join Heather, Vicki, and Tamra in the form of Shannon Beador and Lizzie Rovsek.  We only met Shannon tonight, and she is... something.  Let's take a peek behind the orange curtain and check in with the busty blondes (and brunettes) of the OC.

The Real Housewives of New York City Recap: What Does an Image Consultant Do?

The Real Housewives of New York City, Episode 4: "Holla in the Hamptons"

LuAnn is back!  LuAnn we... missed you?  Noticed you were gone?  Were impressed by the amount of personal growth you've been through since last season?  Are one of those true?  You decide.  No matter how you feel, LuAnn is back, not as a full time cast mate, but a Friend of the Housewives.  LuAnn claims that she decided to take some time off by choice.  Translation: She held out for more money, was denied, backed off and since filming had already begun, she was demoted.  Nice try, Lu.  

Speaking of Friends of the Housewives, every season on every Housewives franchise, there is a woman who is not a member of the cast, who decides that she really wants her fifteen minutes of fame.  There are the Kims in New Jersey, Marlo in Atlanta, Faye Resnick in Beverly Hills, just to name a few, and this season in New York we have Aviva's "image consultant," Amanda Sanders.  Oh Amanda.  First off, what is your job exactly?  Is it to make Aviva more likeable?  If it is, she needs to be fired immediately.  If that is what an image consultant does, then she needs to find a new job, because Amanda is one of the most immediately unlikable people I've ever come across on a Housewives franchise and that is saying something.  She seems to have targeted Sonja, because she spends the majority of the episode belittling her and trying to steal her man, before she sets her sights on Heather.

RuPaul's Drag Race Recap: '90's Rap Battle

Rupaul's Drag Race, Episode 6: "Oh No She Betta Don't"

It was a good old fashioned rap battle as the remaining queens split into teams to rap on Ru's newest track, "Oh No She Betta Don't."  First though, the library was open and the reading challenge further differentiated the strong queens from the not so strong queens and there were a few new rivalries that sort of seemed to spring up out of nowhere.  

The Real Housewives of New York City Recap: Word on the Street

The Real Housewives of New York City, Episode 3: "Model Behavior"

I have never felt more for a Real Housewife than I did for Kristen during that stupid mud run thing.  I am definitely not the kind of person who would ever do that unless I had lots of help from my friends and to watch Kristen be left in the dust by her husband and Heather sucked.  I would be really pissed and then to have them both totally shut her down just made me really angry.  I would have flipped my shit.  They coerced Kristen into doing this under false pretenses and then totally abandoned her.  What fucktards.  I was not happy.  I am on your side, Kristen!  You should have pushed them down into the mud and scraped their faces with the barbed wire.  Ugh.  Ok, now that that is out of my system we can take a look at the rest of the episode.

RuPaul's Drag Race Recap: "The Tightest Snatch… Game in History."

RuPaul's Drag Race, Episode 5: "Snatch Game"

It's time for the Snatch Game, y'all!!!  This is every Drag Race fan's favorite challenge.  In season two, RuPaul gave us the game show with drag queens impersonating celebrities that we didn't even know we wanted.  We did want it though.  We wanted it real bad.  Over the past five seasons, we have seen the queens give some stellar performances, but I think that Ru was right when she deemed this years, the tightest Snatch Game in herstory.

Get Over It… The Series Finale of How I Met Your Mother

People Hated the Finale of How I Met Your Mother.  Those People are Wrong.

Beloved sitcom, How I Met Your Mother, ended it's legen-- wait for it-- dary, nine year run Monday night with a series finale that was… divisive, and that's putting it mildly.  As soon as the show ended, people fucking lost their shit, you guys.  Seriously, it was like series creators, Craig Thomas and Carter Bays, decided to air 45 minutes of people mercilessly slaughtering puppies.  It was ridiculous.  So much hate and vitriol spewed by people.  So many cries of how this finale ruined the show for people who I assume, loved it before.  I don't get it.  I think this finale was almost perfect and really encapsulated the spirit of the show and why it worked so well for so many years.  Read on as I explain to you why you are wrong about how awful the series finale of HIMYM was.
