It's totally on brand

George Michael was an icon - neither Offord nor any of Reform are fit to shine his shoes

I wish Yt Americans would stop talking about Scotland, Ireland and using England / Britain interchangeably altogether, to be honest.

Every single one or them is living on indigenous people's stolen land.

I don't think she can understand why the rest are up in arms. She clearly has completely different memories of it. It's the definition of "recollections may vary"

Demote Meredith to friend (of Mary) unless they can get Seth on screen to bring some actual realness.

Whitney stepped up more but we need more fun with her and Heather and there's space for a new snowflake, too.

Bronwyn, Angie and Mary are the three queens. They're the future of the show.

See how the reunion pans out but I think we're at an impasse in Salt Lake City.

#RHoSLC needs a shake-up and it's gonna have to be Lisa on the exit ramp - she brings no value.

Upgrade Britani to full-time - she's put in a stellar shift as a friend. Time she got her due.
