In this week's session, Brianna and Paije finish their discussion on Taylor's most overrated and underrated songs.

After a lengthy news segment recapping the troubling news from Vienna and Taylor's shows in London (minus the final night), Brianna and Paije go through Taylor's first 6 studio albums and share which songs they feel might not be appreciated enough and which songs might be a little too appreciated. Brianna also spends an embarrassing amount of time clowning for a Rep TV announcement that never came. She'll be officially turning in her rainbow wig and red nose on the next episode, so stay tuned!

Happy Pride! This week's session is dedicated to all the girls, gays, and theys! In this episode, Brianna and Janine get surprisingly heated as they rate all of Taylor's albums on the Kinsey Scale, a visual model used to determine how homo or heterosexual someone/something is at any given moment. They discuss everything from the songs to the aesthetics to the use of pronouns in an attempt to answer the age old question: How gay is this?

In this week's session, the girls are going back into the asylum to revisit Taylor's latest album.
