RHOBH - Let the Professionals Perform, Dammit!

I may need a Xanax after watching last night's RHOBH. I mean, the level of immaturity we're seeing this season is already blowing my mind. Just a quick couple of observations: People need to keep other people's names out of their mouths because it only reflects badly on them, more on this later. And don't always insist on being the center of attention, it's annoying. Yolanda threw a great dinner party at her luxurious home and although her husband was definitely a diva, I would gladly sit there and shut up if they ever invited me over, because it was essentially an ultra-exclusive concert. I'm in!

Let's get into the grades so I can read some of these ladies properly.

Yolanda: Your house is amazing. The fact that you designed it speaks to your excellent sense of style. I had asked Lisa to adopt me before, but you can adopt me, too and you two can share custody of me. Now that that's settled, let's talk about the party itself. You went to great lengths to prepare the house for your guests and it showed. I totally understand what kind of parties you throw (not that I've ever attended anything as fabulous, but I get it). You're giving your guests dinner and a show. They're just expected to enjoy it. Not to participate. I think your husband should have been a little more gentle with his delivery of that message. You have professional musicians performing, so anyone with half a brain would sit back and enjoy it and not insist on joining in. As far as David's "homemaker" comment, I think I understand what he was saying - maybe the majority of the women he knows and deals with don't spend the time to host things at their home and take care of most of the details, like we saw you do on this episode. I wasn't mad at that comment at all. I think you were a great hostess in spite of some of your guests' attitudes. Yolanda's grade for the week: A (because I think she's an elegant and sophisticated person who puts a lot of effort into whatever she's doing).

Kyle: I was so glad to see you get the hint when David stopped you from singing at the party. No tea, no shade, but it was best if you didn't. I liked that you hit it off with David and had such a great time at the party. You didn't let not being the center of attention bother you. That's what adults do, they surrender the spotlight when needed. Kyle's grade for the week: B (because she behaved herself at the party).

Kim: You impressed me this week. Of course, you're still quirky, but quirky is good. You had fun at the party and there were no cringey moments from you. I appreciate that. The whole prom scene was fun and sweet. But who was all that food for? LOL! Kim's grade for the week: A (because I see the actual Kim now, and she's pretty cool).

Adrienne: Can I just tell you my theory? Real quick? I think you and Paul were already having problems, so teaming up against Lisa was sort of a mask for those issues. I can't think of any other reason why you and Paul constantly bring her up and rattle of the list of what she's done to you. Actually, it's more Paul than you actually saying it, but you get my point. Paul was so pissed that Lisa ignored him at Yolanda's but then turns around and tells Kyle he's ignoring her? What the f*ck? It just seems like you and Paul are the ones who aren't letting this go. I get that some of Lisa's comments hurt you but you two have to grow up. This is getting ridiculous. The best thing for you would be to forget it and move on. But you both insist on staying mad. I'm glad you asked Lisa to meet up with you to work things out and I cannot wait to see what happens in next week's episode. Adrienne's grade for the week: C (because I think she's still too concerned with Lisa even though Paul is doing all the sh*t talking).

Lisa: I think you're right to keep your distance from Adrienne, because you already know that you will not be able to resume a friendship with her without an apology. Like I said before, I can't wait to see how you two handle each other in next week's episode. But you know, that comment about the meeting being as short as Adrienne is didn't go over well. You did walk away from Paul and Adrienne when they entered the party, but after that, you were polite enough. Maybe it would have been better to say hello, but I have a feeling no matter what you do, they will complain. At the party, you also had the good sense to not insist on singing. It was nice to see you laughing and joking with everyone. Lisa's grade for the week: B (because she was civil, which is all an adult needs to be with other adults).

Taylor: Um, I am embarrassed to say this, but I just heard your intro line and ... what the f*ck were you thinking saying that sh*t? You worked hard for that zip code? Ugh ... I can't with you. Let's just talk about the episode. First, you need to cool it with the booze. Like, now. Yolanda is totally right, drunk women are unattractive. You brought up Brandi - for God knows what reason because she wasn't there and no one was talking about her. It was unnecessary and juvenile. Then, you get all offended because David told you not to sing. No shade, but shade, yeah don't. Because, in all honesty, you were a guest to their party and they give parties differently than you do. Yes, David was rude about it. But you got overly offended. Your problem wasn't that he told you not to sing. Your problem was that he was taking the attention off of you and putting it on the professionals. You could not stand to not be the center of attention. And that's the real T. To make matters worse, you pouted and bitched during the remainder of the party. Here's a thought, there's the door. You don't like this party? See yourself out. I mean, how ungrateful can you be? Because you weren't allowed to sing? You're a mess. Taylor's grade for the week: F (for being such an attention-whore that she would rather sing instead of enjoy the exclusive concert right in front of her).

RuPaul's All Star Drag Race & Untucked - Final FOUR!

I am LIVING over last night's Drag Race and Untucked!! OMG! Can we just talk about the lipsync for one second? Jujubee and Raven lost their sh*t before the song even started. It was so sad! I couldn't believe they didn't win the challenge. I loved all the gurls' looks, but I honestly thought Team Shad would lose and Shannel would go home. Good thing they don't pay me to make predictions.

Let's talk about the challenge a little bit. No grades this week because, really, these ladies are werking their asses off, and they're all 10s in my book. Now, the challenge was for each team to become a supervillain/superhero duo. But first, that mini challenge had me in stitches. That was hilarious. Kudos to whoever thought of that one. I was dying laughing. Back to the main challenge. The queens did a look for their characters in their version of day wear and in their characters' official comic book costume. They also had to perform choreography for a theme song "Good vs. Evil". Shannel was the villain for her team, and she really had fun with it on the runway. Her day wear look was this beautiful one sleeved gown and classic Shannel hair. The costume look was her S&M inspired look that we've seen before, complete with face mask. She rocked it out! Chad was the hero and both of her looks were great. She wore this beautiful red chiffon number with a long scarf which served as a sort of mini cape, while her costume look was a really cool bustier with a full cape, all in reds and yellows. Jujubee killed the day wear look, but her costume look was read for filth because of its simplicity. It was a white body suit with silver accents and bright red long hair with bangs. I thought she looked amazing! But, there was no cape, no belt, etc. I thought she looked like Scarlett Johansen in The Avengers, only more fierce. So, for me, her costume look was a winner. Raven blew me away with her costume look. It was this amazing black cloak with a blonde wig and clear plastic face mask that just took it to a whole other level. Her day look was this super cute summer dress with Mariah-esque hair and loads of body.

To me, they all rocked the challenge. But, one team had to win and it was Shad. I think the judges liked their version of comic book characters because they were so over the top. Raven and Jujubee had great looks, but maybe they were more subdued than what the judges were wanting. Although, Michelle Visage showed Rujubee a lot of love, and she was totally on point with what she said about them. They were totally Marvel-like. Santino, of course, had his two cents and that's no surprise. I honestly don't see Jujubee ever wearing that body suit to a club, though, for real. Wendi McLendon-Covey was awesome as a guest judge and her critiques were on point. Elvira was very adamant in her opinions and she was definitely going for Shad to win it.

Then the lipsync happened and I think we all held our breath. How in the world was this going to work out for anyone? I couldn't believe what was happening and as the lipsync ended, Raven hadn't moved from her mark the whole time and Jujubee was clearly distraught. Even Chad and Shannel were visibly upset. Not a dry eye at the judges' table. RuPaul, in her infinite wisdom, and perfect Catwoman-inspired regalness, uttered the words we all wanted to hear: "You both stay." That moment was one of the most perfect moments in Drag Race herstory.

F*ck it, it's a top four! Now, the question is, now that it's individual, who's your pick? For me it's a toss up between Raven and Chad.

On Untucked, Jujubee lost her shit due to stress and I was so relieved to see that it was just a brief outburst and not a full-on fight. Now, some of the viewers may be upset that Jujubee was commenting on Shannel's obvious kissing-up to Elvira. I say, let her kiss up. RuPaul makes the final decision in the end. And the Puerto Rican queens got a huge shout out! HOLLA!!! Chuletas, YAAASSSS, b*tch!!

I am so looking forward to the finale next Monday night. We'll have our All Stars Hall of FAM-AAAAHHHH!!!!!

RHOA - Introducing Porsha

Sunday's RHOA put me in two very different, very opposite moods. On one hand, I was in heaven while watching the New York scenes. In a couple of weeks, it'll be a year since I was there, and I miss it so much. I have never lived there, always just visited, but my heart has always belonged to New York. If you're interested in the backstory, let me know. On the other hand, some of these ladies make me want to take a sledgehammer to my poor old television. Why must some people always find a way to ruin everything?

Let's get to the grades, kids!

Nene: It is so cute to watch Greg try to win you back!! He wants those keys, dammit!! I don't know why, but it doesn't gross me out to see him woo you. I'm not sure why, and I'm not going to apologize for it. Watching you in New York was awesome - not because of you though, no offense. Just New York in general. You know you will probably never take the subway, but Cynthia is right, when you're in New York it's just something you have to experience. At least once! You were being a little snooty in the subway at first but then you met some fans, and I'll be honest. I thought you were going to be short with them. But you weren't! You were friendly and kind and really sweet to them. I guess us Twitter people aren't so bad after all? I'm so happy for all your success, and I think the success has changed you - but for the better. You're in a good place and it shows. You aren't bitter or mean or jealous and I am happy about that. Nene's grade for the week: B (for being happy and busy with her career).

Kim: I've been done with you, but you're still on the show so I have to address you. I am sorry you have to move out of your place and back into the townhouse. Maybe you shouldn't have spent money on landscaping for a house that wasn't yours yet. I'm very glad Kroy taught you how to use the fire extinguisher, he's a good man. Kim's grade for the week: F (because it's nothing but complain, complain, complain with her).

Kandi: We didn't see much of you this week, but I'm so excited to see how your house will look when you're all moved in. Your family members seem so nice and fun to be around. Kandi's grade for the week: N/A.

Phaedra: I would advise you to make Kenya sign all kinds of contracts before you commit to working with her production company. I don't trust her and neither should you. Phaedra's grade for the week: C (because she is not seeing the crazy in Kenya yet and she needs to).

Cynthia: I love love LOVE your enthusiasm about New York. You were a great tour guide and the perfect person to take Nene to see the real New York. And that hot dog looked delicious! I'm so glad you were there with Nene. Cynthia's grade for the week: A (because she was so positive and bubbly this week).

Porsha: Welcome to the madness! I hope you're ready! You did come off as a ditzy girl, but in my book, you redeemed yourself by the end of the episode. You seem like a nice girl who enjoys life and maybe isn't too deep, but is a genuinely good person. I'm not mad at that. You have a great backstory, a lovely family, and you seem really happy with your life. I don't think you're malicious or mean at all. And that's why I know it was an honest mistake when you called Kenya Miss America. You weren't being shady. Your charity event was very nice, from what I saw, but then again, I don't know anything about charity galas. So, I may not be the best critic on that. What I do know is behavior. And you handled Kenya so well. I was standing up applauding you. You didn't need more than one episode to figure out that she's a mess, so you put your foot down right then and there. And that "search engine" line? I was LIVING!!! I like you! Porsha's grade for the week: A (because despite her ditziness, she spotted Kenya's crazy and shut that sh*t DOWN!).

Kenya: You need to get off this show. This show isn't going to be any good for you. What you need is to continue therapy and get yourself together. I am so sorry your mother is suffering from mental illness, and I'm especially sorry that you suffered any kind of pain because of that. But you have to recognize that you are not mentally stable. You said you were hell on wheels before, but what do you think you are now? You fly off the handle for a simple mistake like Porsha saying you were Miss America? It was an honest mistake, and yes, she looked dumb for not saying the right title. You don't have to make it worse by being rude about it. When Porsha's husband came to the charity event with her gift and cake, your face told the story. You're jealous. You're bitter. You're not well. You created a whole scenario in your mind to be angry about and then you acted on it. You left the event and called Porsha names. I cannot condone you being on this show. Unless you go to therapy and show us that you're working on becoming emotionally stable. Kenya's grade for the week: F (because I will not condone her being on this show in her mental state).

RHOM - Speak Your Mind, Accept the Response

Ok, so with RHOM back on Thursdays (this is getting confusing), it has taken me a minute to post this blog, so my apologies right up front. This episode was pretty funny, if you find confrontation funny, which (duh) I do. We got to see Thomas' house, which incidentally, we've seen before on RHOA and Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List. So that was interesting! Elaine confronted Marysol, Thomas confronted Joanna, Ana, and Elsa, and Ana and Lea both confronted Marysol. Am I forgetting anyone? Probably. The point is this group is falling apart. And I can only hope the ladies can figure out who is really on their side and who isn't in time for the reunion. This season is flying by, and we'll be watching them go at it with Andy in no time. I gotta shout out Mama Elsa. Her shade towards Thomas' party was hilarious - after she was booted out, of course. It cracks me up that people can supposedly be friends for 30 years and then throw each other out of their homes because of some petty bullsh*t. Is that how friendship works in Miami?

Here come the grades:

Ana: I can understand why people will say that you were disrespectful to Thomas - because he asked you to be quiet and you weren't. And I actually get it, it's his home. But I think you were right on the money when you said people kiss Thomas' ass because he's rich. He said some pretty disgusting things, and everyone kind of just went along with it. You decided not to, you said so, and you left. I see nothing wrong with what you did, it just happened to occur after you had already had dinner and drinks! Hey, timing is everything, right? But seriously, you stood up for yourself and left willingly. No one had to throw you out. As far as Marysol, you're 100% right. Unfortunately, she is either not willing or not able to have your back the way you had hers. And that's a tough lesson to learn, but at least you learned it now. I am curious to know what you meant by Marysol's "dirty work". Could it be talking sh*t about people, or something more damaging? By the way, I don't really mind that you called your ex to pick you up. I think at this point, you were still very attached to him, so it's not a surprise to me that you would call him in that moment. Ana's grade for the week: B+ (because even though she got flack for it, she stuck to her convictions).

Marysol: This week was not great for you, let's be honest. You spent a lot of it talking sh*t about people and then being confronted for talking sh*t about people. I think you do speak your mind when asked, or when you're in a group where gossiping is happening. We all do it. People talk and you participate. It's not a crime. But, you have to back up what you say and own it. That's where you run into trouble. I have no doubt that you told Lisa Pilner something negative about Elaine and she ran and told her about it. That's what usually happens! So, when Elaine confronted you, all you had to do was say, "Yes, I said it. I was stating my opinion." And leave it at that. You can't run away from it anymore, Marysol. Do I think you were trying to get Elaine fired? No, but it made you look somewhat guilty when you wouldn't even admit that you were bad-mouthing him. I mean, we saw you do it. So, just own it. Believe me, it's the best thing you could ever do for yourself. Now, we have to talk about Ana. You did sort of sit there and let her get yelled at by Thomas - and you sat there and let him yell at your mom, too - but that doesn't necessarily mean you're a bad friend. It just means you didn't want to get involved. I get it. However, it hurt Ana's feelings and you have to take responsibility for that. Marysol's grade for the week: D (because she needs to own what she says and learn to reciprocate when friends defend her constantly).

Karent: You are a bit of a brown-noser, but maybe that's just your way of being friendly. In any case, it's annoying. You were all over Thomas, which got old real fast. But what I really want to talk to you about is when you had to (again) blab to Joanna about the joke Adriana made about flirting with Romain. Why do you feel you need to tell Joanna that? Adriana was not serious! It was a joke! And what did you accomplish with telling Joanna? Nothing. Sometimes, you have to discern what is important, and what isn't. And that joke Adriana made was not important. It wasn't important or relevant until you brought it up to Joanna. So, you essentially caused tension for no reason. There are certain times where you really need to just shut the f*ck up and keep it moving. Karent's grade for the week: D (for coming across as a tattle-tale kiss-ass, it's not a good look).

Joanna: I just want to know where you get all these figure skating outfits from, and why on Earth do you wear them to parties? Just saying. Save 'em for the ice, hunty. All kidding aside, you were very sweet to invite ALL of the ladies on vacation with you. That was a nice gesture. I just hope you don't drink on the trip (of course you're going to drink on the trip). I think you were actually right to be offended by what Thomas said about Romain leaving the dinner party. And really, Thomas is a sh*tty host for asking you if Romain was cheating on you. That is so out of line. So, for once, I really agreed with you getting angry about that. After almost blowing up at him, you decided to be the bigger person and not leave the party after all. I think you may have been intimidated by Thomas. He straight up yelled at you. If I were you, I would have just left. Thomas needs to realize that not everyone is going to think his "jokes" are funny. And yes, you were in his home, but that doesn't mean you have to take his inappropriate comments. You should have left with Ana like you were going to in the first place. And you are absolutely right, Karent was laughing at everything Thomas was saying. So, keep that in mind next time you want to jump in and defend her. Joanna's grade for the week: C (because she controlled her anger but I wish she would have left the party with Ana for solidarity's sake).

Lisa: Like I said before, I get the whole "it's his house, Thomas can say whatever he wants" theory. But, everyone has a right to their feelings and opinions, and if you don't take offense to what Thomas says, great. If someone else does, they have the right to say so and leave. That's exactly what Ana did and what Joanna almost did. I don't really care why you or your husband didn't get offended, because that's not my business. You getting on top of the table was a pretty creative way of diffusing the tension, so I'll give you credit for that. Lisa's grade for the week: B- (because she found a way to keep the party going, good for her).

Adriana: According to you, Thomas is misunderstood. You really weren't a big part of the drama (for once), so I applaud you for respecting your host and not getting involved in the fights. I can't wait to see the boat when it's finished. Adriana's grade for the week: A (because I want her to stay positive and not fight with anyone).

Lea: I love that you and Elsa get along. I think that's awesome. You and Marysol, on the other hand, well, that may be a little bit more difficult. I think you probably should have refrained from talking about the whole Elaine thing at Thomas' dinner. After the fights erupted and Thomas blew his stack, you admitted that Thomas overreacted. You definitely have no problem speaking your mind, and I appreciate that. You told Marysol exactly what you thought without any hesitation. I just wish she would listen and have a decent conversation with you about the issues between the two of you. And maybe don't defend James/Elaine so much - sounds like he's not the most reliable source of information. Lea's grade for the week: A (because she says what she means and means what she says).

RHOBH - It's Not Always About YOU

Monday's episode of RHOBH was actually very tame, and I don't mean that in a bad way, by any means. Tame is good sometimes! There was plenty of talking behind people's backs which will definitely affect future episodes. Paul and Mauricio walked at a domestic violence event as a favor to Taylor, which was super fun to watch. Portia's birthday party was a success, and Kyle did a great job putting it together. Of course, there was static between some of the ladies, but they had the decency to not let it get out of control. But I gotta admit, I can't wait to see what happens when Adrienne and Lisa meet up next week.

But the shade of the week goes to Bravo for telling us (via caption) who Dana was ("Taylor's friend") when she showed up to Portia's party! LOL! I got my life from that! If they did the same for Camille, let me know, because I probably missed it from laughing so hard.

It's report card time!

Yolanda: Your daughter is gorgeous! I mean, wow. I think you are a little bit of a stage mom, even though you try to control it. But you are gonna get backlash for the "Chinese eyes" comments. I know you were describing the shape of the eye makeup, but it was not the best choice of words. You will learn that the hard way. It was nice of you to send Portia a birthday gift, by the way. Yolanda's grade for the week: C (because she has to learn to not use some of those phrases anymore).

Taylor: Every time I want to like you, you make me mad. You really didn't have to sit there at Portia's party and tell Adrienne and Kim about Brandi's joke at the Villa Blanca party about sleeping with everyone in Beverly Hills. I'll give you a pass for not saying hi to Brandi when you clearly saw her sitting there, but come on. As soon as she leaves, you're talking sh*t. I don't care if you like her or not. A kid's birthday party wasn't the place for you to talk about some third-hand-gossip. And correct me if I'm wrong, but was your speech slurred at Portia's party? Mmmm hmmm. Taylor's grade for the week: D (for being stank for absolutely no reason).

Kyle: You did an awesome job with Portia's party and I have to commend you for not participating in the sh*t talking. You were totally right to try to get Brandi to stay and enjoy the party. I can see why you would want the ladies to be able to be civil and take steps toward resolving their issues. Especially, because the party was a neutral place. But, you can't force people, either. I was happy to see you and Kim getting along! I think when you sit back and relax and let people do their own thing, you're free to give your opinion without looking pushy. Kyle's grade for the week: B (because she was a great hostess, and she stopped pushing the ladies to make up just in time to not look controlling).

Brandi: It was nice of you to go to Portia's party. I think Kyle really appreciated that. And I think it was a smart move to try to stick it out even though Taylor made you feel uncomfortable. I wish you would have ignored it and had a good time instead of leaving early, though. I know why you left, don't get me wrong. And I really appreciate the fact that you didn't start any nonsense at the party. Brandi's grade for the week: B (because she did her best to be friendly, and when she got annoyed, she took herself out of the situation instead of letting it get worse).

Kim: You showed up to Portia's party, which was really nice. But I would have gotten so annoyed with all the boyfriend questions. You handled it nicely. And you do look really good. I'm proud of you. Kim's grade for the week: A (because I definitely see improvement!).

Camille: I was so happy to see you on this week's show! I think you were a very positive presence at Portia's party and you got along with everyone. But you were a little heavy on the questions with Kim. Kick back! Anyway, I hope we see you again on the show soon. Camille's grade for the week: B (because she is fun overall).

Lisa: I LOVED your outfit at Portia's party!!! Those green sunglasses were everything! And the llama scene was hilarious. You are so lucky that llama didn't tinkle in Kyle's house. I believe you did have a meeting to go to, and even if you didn't, it's no one's business. I just happen to think that you were telling the truth. But we don't know and really, it doesn't matter. You showed up for Portia and that's all that matters. Lisa's grade for the week: A (because she was delightful this week).

Adrienne: I need for you to tell Paul to get off of Lisa's jock! Well, you can't anymore, but I'll say it. Paul, get off Lisa's jock! Seriously. Paul was asking about Lisa more than anyone else. Am I the only one that sees a problem with this? Anyway, Adrienne, I really think you need to stop taking everything Lisa does or doesn't do so personally. Lisa doesn't want to speak to you because she's over you. It's not that serious. And the fact that Kyle doesn't want to get involved doesn't mean she's protecting Lisa. It means she doesn't want to get involved. Period. And Lisa wasn't at the party because she wasn't at the party. It's not always about you. It's not high school of Lisa to not be there, it's high school of you to think that she's not there because of you. Self-obsessed much? It is not always about you. You need to stop. Adrienne's grade for the week: D (because she is doing way too much with this Lisa thing).

RHOM - So Familiar

Ok, so I just watched Sunday night's episode of RHOM, so it's fresh in my mind. Wow. This episode was a lot to take in, but I am officially hooked. Nice job, ladies. So, before I forget anything (who am I kidding? I always forget something), let's give out some grades.

Joanna: Listen to Romain!!! Stop drinking!! That was the best advice you could have ever received, and I hope you took it to heart. Although, by the looks of Alexia's dinner and your appearance on Watch What Happens Live, not so much. What a shame. Back to the episode, I think it was good for you and Adriana to shake hands and apologize, but it would have been much better if you both would have been sincere about it. You still feel you did nothing wrong, but by your own admission, you don't remember what you did/said. Again, no more alcohol for you. You kept saying you don't fight but if you did, you would hit Adriana. Just saying that is enough to start another fight! If you could just listen to other people without getting so upset, you may be able to understand where they're coming from. Marysol was talking to Karent, and once again, you had to insert yourself. Karent can defend herself. You really need to stop butting in to conversations that have nothing to do with you. Not surprisingly, I'm still not a big fan of yours. Joanna's grade for Sunday: D (I'll give her credit for showing up to Alexia's and apologizing, but her heart wasn't in it).

Adriana: It was nice to see you show up for Lea and Leroy, and I loved the hat, by the way. I'm glad you and Lea are so close. It's a sweet friendship. What's not so sweet is how you behaved at Alexia's. I like you a lot (I keep saying that because I want you to know that this is coming from a good place), but damn. You need to quit with the sh*t talking. Now, I love shade and reading and all that, but when your friend Alexia puts together a summit dinner to resolve the issues between you ladies, making snide remarks is not what you should be doing. It doesn't matter that Joanna came in a cocktail dress or whatever. You need to keep those thoughts to yourself at that point. Then, you both apologized (and neither of you meant it), but that didn't stop you from leaving in a huff. I gotta call you out on that. Why couldn't you have just cooled off for a moment and stayed for Alexia's sake? I feel that you will never forgive Joanna and no matter what happens, you will continue to bash her. And I can't condone that. I don't even like the girl, but you have to let it go and quit talking sh*t about her. You're keeping that bad blood flowing and it's only going to hurt you in the long run. Adriana's grade for Sunday: D (because she was too busy talking sh*t to really resolve anything).

Lea: I'm so sorry about Leroy. I respect your decision to not bring any additional dogs into the house. I think the pain of losing Leroy was enough to where you never want to feel that again. I don't blame you at all. I think you were great at Alexia's dinner. You were trying to get them to talk like adults but they had already gone too far off track. Lea's grade for Sunday: A (because she showed up to Alexia's dinner and tried to help the ladies communicate).

Alexia: When I watch you on the show, it's weird because I feel like I know you. I've been around Caribbean women all my life so I know every nuance, every gesture, every facial expression. And you were fed the f*ck up with Joanna. And I would have been, too. I think you had great intentions with this dinner, but unfortunately, when people get heated, there's no telling what can happen. It would have been great if there was some real communication happening. But you can't force people to listen to each other. Alexia's grade for Sunday: C (she had a great idea, but when it didn't go so well, she let her frustration get the better of her).

Marysol: I was so happy when you brought up the article, and I thought you were going to have a real conversation with Karent. Apparently not! I wish you could have let her finish speaking, and maybe then you both would have gotten some closure and this issue could have been put to bed. And, I have to read you for talking sh*t with Adriana. Not cool! For Alexia's sake, you both should have just kept it cute and put it on mute (shout out to Trina Braxton). Marysol's grade for Sunday: D (because she messed up at Alexia's dinner).

Lisa: I am so sorry to hear about your miscarriages. I can't even imagine how painful that must be - not only in the moment when you're going through it, but the aftermath as well. And I'm sure you telling your story is going to be a comfort to a lot of women out there. Now, we gotta talk about Daisy. How did you not know about her other procedures? LOL! That moment was priceless. Maybe ask her a few more questions before you agree to give her surgery as a gift next time. But hey, you're a generous boss! I like it! I also liked how you kept your comments to a minimum at Alexia's dinner. You didn't add fuel to the fire but you did try to help at times. I think you could see the situation was out of control and you were better off keeping your mouth shut. Lisa's grade for Sunday: A (she opened up and we got to know her a lot better).

Ana: When you were crying at the office, I really felt for you. It didn't really seem like a big deal to move out of the office, but once I started thinking about it, it made more and more sense. That office was your security blanket and now it's being taken away. But you are gonna be fine. And I'm sure by now, you're glad you let that security blanket go. Your contribution to Alexia's party was definitely explosive, and I'm sure that's exactly what you were going for. I can't say I disagree with what you said about Karent - she is in the middle of all the drama - but it was kind of like throwing a grenade and walking away. Ana's grade for Sunday: C (I get where she's coming from, but she threw Karent under the bus when it wasn't really needed).

Karent: I'm starting to wonder if you're just a real optimist that can't handle confrontation, and that's why you seem so fake to everyone. I mean, you went to Alexia's with good intentions, and when Marysol confronted you, you were about to respond when Joanna decided to step in again. Tell her to stop it! Tell her you can speak for yourself! Why don't you put her in her place? I know you get along with her, but it's ok to tell her to back off. I really like your friendship with Lisa. You two seem to understand each other. I did cringe a little when you started talking about yourself when she was pouring her heart out to you. That's exactly what she didn't want! Oh, and the scene with your mom rubbed me the wrong way. You don't tell your mom she can't have ice cream because she needs to lose weight. No, no, no. That don't fly with me. Karent's grade for Sunday: C (she's still annoying but at least we can see that she may not have bad intentions).

RuPaul's All Star Drag Race and Untucked - Beat My Mug the House DOWN!!!

Oh my Gah - we are down to the final two teams. Now, I've been hearing that Ru will bring one queen back (as is her custom) and that the competition will become individual. I can only hope that both of those are true. Although the whole team thing has been fun to watch, it's made for a lightning-fast season (which may have been Ru's intention). I know the fifth season of Drag Race starts in January, and I can't wait, but I would have loved a true full season of All Star greatness. However, I am extremely grateful for the All Star season, so please don't think I'm trying to be rude or whiny about it. I mean, we've been lucky enough to see all of our favorites plus some amazing guest judges. So, we all win.

This week, the final three teams had to do some reading as cheerleaders. This mini-challenge fell flat for me. But hey, that's just me, I just happen to love the traditional reading mini-challenges, that's all. But this one was fun - it was a lot more awkward than any other reading challenge because they had almost no time to become cheerleaders. Some of their looks were a KI!!!

The main challenge gave me so much life, I almost couldn't take it. Guests Kelly Osbourne (Ozzy and Sharon's daughter), Jillian Hervey (Vanessa Williams' daughter), and Kady Z (Pia Zadora's daughter - 80's icon realness!) joined the queens for a girl group challenge. A la Season One!!! One of my most favoritest episodes ever. When Akashia tore it up on the lipsynch after getting read by Michelle Williams (Destiny's Child) and Tammie Brown went home. Ah ... memories ... Anyway, the queens picked their RuPaul song, and that song was assigned to one of the guests. So, Yarlexis chose "Covergirl", which was Kelly's song. Shad chose "Glamazon", and they got Jillian. Rujubee picked their season's "Jealous of My Boogie", which was assigned to Kady. The ladies got to work, choreographing, rehearsing, getting on each others' nerves, and getting on each others' nerves even more. But, to be fair, they've been working hard, and they've got to be exhausted by now. In a major, MAJOR drag faux pas, Kady informs Rujubee that she doesn't want her makeup to be so extreme for the show. Um, say what now? You're on RUPAUL'S ALL STAR DRAG RACE!!! IN A GIRL GROUP CHALLENGE!!! YOU DO AS YOU'RE TOLD!!! If Raven wanted to give you full beat, why in the world would you not take it???!!!!! That pissed me off to no end. Seriously, Kady, when you're at Drag Race, you get in full drag. No questions asked. If I'm ever lucky enough to perform with drag queens, they betta beat my mug for the Gods!

Show time!! Each team performed their songs for the judges (including Mary Wilson of the Supremes and Rosie Perez, my girl!!) and a live audience. Ru was channeling a blonde Miss Ross in all her "Upside Down" glory and I was living for Michelle Visage's 60's half-up-do and girls at full attention. Magnificent. Oh and Santino was there, too.They all performed for their lives! I loved each performance so much. The one that made me the most hype was Yarlexis, partly because of Kelly's enthusiasm, but Jillian was spectacular as well. She is a dancer and so so gorgeous. She gave us everything in that performance. I hate to say it, but Kady lacked in the performance piece. I mean, the least she could have done was give an amazing performance to make up for the fact that she looked completely out of place with Rujubee. Mary Wilson and Rosie Perez were awesome guest judges and had a lot of praise and constructive criticism for the girls. And I could listen to Rosie talk all day. Just saying.

Unfortunately, the bottom two were Yarlexis and Rujubee, with Shad winning again. I was so devastated. They all worked so hard and did a great job. But it's down to the wire and a team has to go. Raven did the lipsync with Alexis and it was an even battle at first. Raven pulled out all the stops and got down to her skivvies, while Alexis was relying on her dance moves. Yara decided she needed to step in, so she hit the button and tried to outperform Raven, but in the end, Raven took the win, and Team Yarlexis was sent home.

I love Yara and Alexis so much and I love that we got to see them perform for another season. They are cherished. RuPaul's goodbye speech to them was heartfelt and genuine - I love when we can feel Ru's love for the girls. She brought all of them back for a reason. And even though there will be only one winner of All Stars, all of the queens are already superstars.

Now, let's grade the teams!

Team Yarlexis: You two were brilliant, and even though it didn't go your way, you handled it the right way. I loved when Yara put her picture up next to RuPaul's! classic! You two are already legends. And you made a friend for life with Kelly. I'm not really sure why you didn't win the lipsync, but I understand why Yara pushed the button. It was your last chance to try and win it, so you had to take that leap. We don't ever get to see the whole lipsync, so we just have to trust that Ru had her reasons. Team Yarlexis' grade for the week: A (for always giving 110% percent).

Team Rujubee: You definitely got the shaft this week. Your guest was not cooperating, but you both tried your hardest to make it work. Raven, you gave us signature Raven in that lipsync and made us all remember why you are the baddest bitch of them all. You turned it all the way up. Jujubee, in the performance you were absolutely glowing. I am still rooting for you to be the last team standing, but if it becomes an individual race, I will be truly torn about which one of you should win. Jujubee's partner made an appearance on Untucked, and it was so touching. Make sure to post those wedding pics, gurrr!!!!! Team Rujubee's grade for the week: A (they worked it out in spite of a dud guest).

Team Shad: The wins just keep coming for y'all! Your experience and professionalism are really shining through. I am so happy for both of you. The performance was on point and like the judges said, you let Jillian shine in the performance and it made the whole thing really take off. When you were talking about your past issues with each other, it made me really connect with both of you, and we saw how bonded you two really are. And that's beautiful. I can't wait to see what happens, and who wins this thing. But you two have truly made your mark on this show, and you should be extremely proud. Team Shad's grade for the week: A (because they are dominating these main challenges, WERK!).
