"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

wasn't she also the one who had her jaw wired shut to lose weight?

Art Crawl!!!

No way - did everything that happened in season 2 center around Tami?

Because books.

As soon as Stephen slapped Irene on the Seattle season, it was all downhill from there.

So true. I loved the first season in NYC so much. It was fascinating!

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Yep, that's the girl. She was trying to become a pop star (or probably more likely an R&B star) and thus the jaw wiring shut so that she could look the part more. Sadly, she couldn't really sing at all which was the larger problem, but she mostly focused on the aesthetics and on yelling at people in the dance studio in her best BoomKat (LaurieAnne Gibson for those not up on the Diddy shows) before BoomKat was cool way.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

She also instigated the first roommate eviction when she got David kicked out of the house for pulling her out of the bed when she was "naked" (but not really because she totally had on panties and a wifebeater which practically qualifies as overdressed on today's Real World) and then claiming that his having done so was akin to her being raped live on national TV.

Oh, I do remember that. But I still don't think I really saw that season.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I like RuPaul, and I like Pandora Boxx, Jujube, and Ongina. I like Raven and Raja, too, but admit that they can be bitches.

Speaking of LaurieAnne Gibson, here's an incredible quote:

Laurieann Gibson, Lady Gaga's choreographer — who was Diddy's drill sergeant on Making The Band and is getting her own show — says of Gaga: "I actually developed Lady Gaga from the beginning. A lot of what happens on stage has been birthed out of my gift. Would Lady Gaga survive the industry in four years after being dropped from two deals? I'm sorry, no! Laurieann Gibson delivered her."

Okay, it's from a tabloid. [link]

Oh man! I can't believe they actually made them eat the cheese, when all the other teams had arrived.

Sad to see them go.

Me, too, on who went.

And the cheese made me a little less eager to get back to Artisanal for fondue anytime soon, I tell you.
