Another week, another missed episode. This time, I had COVID! And trust me, if I can get it, so can you - be careful out there!

On the bright side, I got to watch a sh*t ton of TV, so I'm touching on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, The Hardy Boys, and a lot more, and I go in-depth about the very intriguing first episode of HBO Max's The Staircase.

I forgot to record last week! So I'm spending this week playing catch up on everything I've watched, from The Masked Singer's utterly disgusting and absolutely infuriating reveal of Rudy Giuliani to the season premiere of HBO Max's The Flight Attendant. In between, I take detours about new episodes of Survivor, This Is Us, and the finale of RuPaul's Drag Race season 14. Speaking of Drag Race, the only news story I care about this week is the announcement of All Stars 7, which is an ALL WINNERS season!

This week: So You Think You Can Dance has an all-new panel of judges, and Dancing with the Stars is on the move to Disney+. I'm breaking down this very annoying season of The Real Housewives of Orange County and the first half of Hulu's Amy Schumer comedy Life & Beth. And my recommendation is a true crime docuseries on HBO that may end up being trash but intrigues me so far. *shrug*

I'm back! My vacation was not very restful, but thank you for asking! This week I'm suffering through the returns of Riverdale and The Masked Singer, both of which are well past their primes and need to be put out of their misery. Or at the very least, I need to stop watching them and put myself out of my own misery.

I was very tired as I recorded this week, so apologies in advance for the mush mouth and for constantly losing my train of thought. But you don't come here for perfection, do you? This week I'm recapping the season 19 premiere of Top Chef, and I have a lot to say about switching up the format, the judges (I'm looking at you, Tom Colicchio), and the tone, because it needs a shake-up. Then it's the first episode of Peacock's confusing Tiger King dramedy Joe vs. Carole starring Kate McKinnon in the longest SNL skit ever.

It has been a WEEK. Everything feels dire and terrible and heavy, and I don't know how to deal with it other than distracting myself with television. I hope you were able to find some solace and distraction this week as well, because it's rough out there. I'm doing a speed round this week of almost everything I watched, including NBC's new crime thriller (I think?) The Endgame; the new Epix horror mystery From; the finale of Worst Cooks in America; and this week's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad episodes of Drag Race UK vs. The World and RuPaul's Drag Race season fourteen.

It's hard to be entertained when everything is dying and the globe is on the verge of collapse between a pandemic, economic inflation, unpredictable weather patterns (it was 60 degrees in my neighborhood yesterday, and today we got over an inch of snow wtf), and the evacuation of officials in Ukraine in anticipation of an international incident, but the new season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey and the dramatic reimagining of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, tiled simply Bel-Air, are here to help... maybe.

Folks, I'm so sorry, but today's episode is not the most fun or light-hearted listening you're going to have this week. The news was another sh*tstorm, with The Masked Singer and The View at the center of it, leading me into a very complex and incomplete rambling on the different social and anthropological definitions of race. Then I'm recapping the premiere of RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs. The World, which was infuriating in its own right, and catching up on some other shows I'm watching: This Is Us, Archive 81, Harlem, and Abbott Elementary. Maybe save this episode for your lunchbreak instead of your morning commute, because it's a lot (again).
