The Pork Chop queens take center stage in RuPaul’s Drag Race’s third, hopefully final premiere
TV Reviews Drag
When Drag Race decided to kick off season 13 with a lip-sync extravaganza, it was exciting and fun, subverting expectations and keeping the queens on their toes. When they decided to follow that up with a spotlight episode centering on the queens who won the opening lip-syncs—and Elliott—the energy dipped somewhat, but the queens’ personalities and fashion did a lot to keep things moving. With “Phenomenon,” the momentum stalls. While it’s an interesting counterpoint to “Condragulations,” with the two groups of queens serving in different areas, “Phenomenon” is the weakest of the three introductory episodes, only picking up at the end thanks to a strong maxi challenge performance. The actual start of the competition, complete with eliminations, cannot come soon enough.
The episode begins with the winning queens relaxing and recovering from the main stage. Symone is glowing, fresh from her win and the judges’ raves, while Kandy and Gottmik are relieved to have been safe. The group bonds, dubbing themselves the Winners’ Circle and cementing a firm us-versus-them narrative, before heading to de-drag. The next day, the Pork Chop queens dance into the workroom, thrilled to start their first traditional episode. They take a moment to soak in everyone’s out of drag looks and Denali calls it: The Pork Chop queens are the trade of the season.
Ru heads into the workroom in an embroidered white suit and introduces the mini challenge: They’ll be repeating the Lady and the Vamp dual runway from “Condragulations.” While it’s a bit repetitive, using the same categories allows the audience to compare apples to apples, and the Winners’ Circle cast a long shadow with their runways. The Pork Chop queens scramble to get started. They only have an hour to get into drag and that will be quite a challenge for Kahmora, who according to Denali is notorious in Chicago for taking his sweet time getting ready. Long after the other queens are dressed and ready to go, Kahmora is still beating her face and running around half dressed.
Denali kicks off the Lady 2021 category, looking cute in a blue forget-me-not dress with yellow hair. She’s going for dainty doll and while the look isn’t hugely memorable, it fits the category. Joey is up next, rocking her own hair. She’s in thigh-high boots, a faux fur vest with a leather belt, shades, and a gold shirt-slash-mini dress. This feels much more like Joey than her entrance look. Rosé ditches her signature pink and shows some versatility for her first runway, wearing a Moschino-inspired paper doll look with bold color blocking, stripes, and puffed shoulders. Tamisha is next with the winner of the category, a lovely raspberry jumpsuit with a lace coat. She looks fabulous. Utica goes a completely different way, in a colorful mini dress with plastic ball accents at her hem, neckline, ankles, wrists, and hair. It’s playful and fun, though a bit of that dread word, crafty, and not as elevated as one would hope for a non-unconventional materials runway. Still, it captures her personality and for a mini challenge, it works. Last, after a brief delay, is Kahmora, who looks beautiful in a white button-down day dress. She’s going for Kate Middleton realness and she nails it, from the pumps to the fascinator to the teacup and saucer.
The Vamp 2021 category is more hit and miss. Denali wears a sheer gray dress over a black corset, panties, and hoop skirt. It looks a bit under-baked, though her dramatic hair and makeup are a nice contrast with her day look. Joey’s in all black with big, dangling earrings, metal accents across her chest, and her hair now red. Rosé’s look shares some inspiration with Denali’s, a sheer black skirt over a black pannier and bright red bodysuit and boots. What makes it stand out, though, is her sheer, gathered top and dramatic hat, which pairs with the pannier to give a caged through-line to the entire look. It’s striking and one of the best looks of the category. Tamisha’s second look is more matronly than she may have wanted, but it’s certainly memorable. Inspired by Elvira, she’s in a black dress made of hair, with sparkling silver accents at the torso and neck. Kahmora’s night look contrasts well with her day look, but doesn’t match its effortlessness. Her orange wig is going for the wet look but seems to have dried out over the hours of filming. Kahmora looks strained on the runway, far less convincing than her confident first walk. Last is Utica, whose dramatic quasi-fantasy look takes the category. It’s completely different than her goofy day look, a heightened Edwardian ensemble complete with exaggerated collar and hair and a burgundy skirt and cape over black leg and arm straps.
Still buzzing from the runway, the queens return to the workroom and chat as they de-drag. Going through the stress of their Porkchop Loading Dock experience seems to have connected them, and Tamisha and Rosé remark on how close they already feel with the other queens. While he’s obviously there to do his best, Tamisha is most excited for this social element of the Drag Race experience. To him, this is just another pageant, and he’s done at least 200—and won at least 95—over his 30 year career. Someone asks Tamisha his age and the other queens are floored to hear that he’s 49. The next oldest queen in the room is 31 and the rest are in their 20s. After a round of compliments to Tamisha on his skin, and a fresh round of gasps at the revelation that Tamisha has three biological children, the queens pick their jaws off the ground and welcome Ru back into the workroom.
It’s time for the maxi challenge. The queens will be writing original verses to add to a new RuMix, “Phenomenon” from the RuPaul’s Drag Race: Live soundtrack. They’ll also be choreographing themselves. Unlike the Winners’ Circle, the Pork Chop queens have multiple choreographers among their number—Denali, Joey, and Rosé each have strong concepts—and they’re all eager to show what they can do. Tamisha is also an experienced dancer and choreographer, but he’s still recovering from his cancer fight, so he lets the kids take this one. Utica has at least some dance experience, though mostly modern dance, but Kahmora is not a dancer at all, and is anxious about keeping up with the rest of the group.
When the choreography rehearsal starts, Denali, Joey, and Rosé jump in with both feet, talking a mile a minute. They chatter back and forth, each wanting to be in charge, while Tamisha gets irritated at their dithering and Kahmora increasingly seems like a deer in headlights. It’s only when Tamisha puts his Mother voice on and takes lead that Kahmora is able to pick up what he needs to do. At the end of rehearsal, Tamisha is worried and based on what we’ve seen so far, he’s right to be. The next day, the queens head into the workroom to get ready for their performance. The dancers are feeling cocky, to which Tamisha raises an experienced eyebrow. Kahmora is still worried about letting himself and the rest of the queens down and Tamisha does his best to reassure him, reminding him to breathe. Kahmora shares that while he loves drag, he doesn’t have a big support network at home. He’s confident his boyfriend of eight years wouldn’t want him doing drag full time, so he only works a couple shows a month and keeps his drag compartmentalized from their life together.
Watching the other queens react to this is telling—the audience immediately wants better for Kahmora, and these queens do too. Tamisha and the others encourage him not to focus on proving something to his boyfriend and not to worry about letting them or anyone else down, but to do his best for himself. Spurred by Tamisha’s supportive words for Kahmora, the topic moves to Tamisha’s drag family and the other queens are gagged to realize he’s the drag mother of the late Tandi Iman Dupree, whose entrance while performing Bonnie Tyler’s “I Need A Hero” at 2001 Miss Gay Black America pageant is iconic. Tandi died years before Drag Race premiered and it’s wonderful to see her legacy celebrated on the show.
On the main stage, RuPaul once again looks fantastic, in a bright orange dress and blonde wig. Michelle looks gorgeous in her favorite color, green, though that may be lighting—it looks blue in the promo shot. Ross is in another terrific suit, and guest judge extraordinaire Nicole Byer is back. Ru calls her one of the family, and she needs to be careful with that language; this viewer would be happy to see Byer become a staple on the judging panel. “Phenomenon” starts and though the introduction is underwhelming, the performance kicks into gear once Denali jumps in with her verse. Denali immediately demands attention, with solid vocals and lyrics and impressive dance moves. Joey keeps the energy going with a strong start and good physicality. Her lyrics peter out a bit, but she does well overall. Kahmora isn’t as successful. Her opening delivery of, “The house of Hall” is great, but she quickly starts stretching for time. She may look impeccable, but she’ll need to have more to say if she wants to stay in this competition. Rosé lives up to her reputation vocally and is a confident performer, but whether it’s her or the editing, her timing seems just a bit off. Tamisha is less comfortable than the other queens, defaulting too frequently to a fixed, pageant smile. Her verse is pretty good, though, with enough specificity to help her stand out. Utica is up last and while her lyrics don’t always make sense, they’re certainly entertaining (“Gonna wiggle to the top, wig-wiggle to the top”). The Winners’ Circle had better verses, but the overall performance of “Phenomenon” is definitely stronger. These queens are more interactive and engaged and there’s no question which group has the dancers.
After the performance, Category is: We’re Here, We’re Sheer, Get Used To It. Denali comes out first in a pale lavender petal-inspired dress. More movement in the top would have been nice, but she looks good. Joey keeps her trademark hair for the runway—her fourth wig-less look of the episode—and pairs it with a sheer black, fringed layer over a black leotard. It’s another fun look for her that captures her energy well. Kahmora goes full nude illusion for her runway, a beautiful stoned bodysuit with a gauzy sheer layer accented with feathers and paired with a giant blonde wig and enormous earrings. She looks gorgeous and is living every moment she’s on the stage. Rosé’s look is more of a swing. She comes out in a blue and purple dress with plastic accents and giant, gauzy, ruffled sleeves. She loves the contrast between the flowy fabric and static plastic, but the sleeves feel like an afterthought. Her light pink hair is cute, though, giving the whole look a more playful feel. Tamisha is an immediate standout in a sheer, gold, glittering pageant gown with a front bustle. It’s entirely expected, but when you look that good, that doesn’t really matter. She renders the panel speechless, no mean feat. Last is Utica, in a black and white leotard with a black sheer top layer and accent scarves. Her Stevie Nicks inspiration is clear, but her paint is more surprising, a combination of Star Trek Trill spots and paint specks. As the judges later remark, her look is simpler than some of the others, but it’s very Utica.
As in “Condragulations,” the judges are generous with the queens, giving warnings to some of them, but couching them as such, rather than as critiques. They love Denali, praising her runway and commanding performance. Joey gets complimented on her runway look and performance, but the judges ask after her wig and the message is clear: If Joey doesn’t change up her hair, they’ll get bored. Kahmora has by far the toughest go of it. The judges love her fashion, but warn that she’s giving flat, personality-free performances. Ross and Nicole argue over whether Rosé’s runway look is crafty—it doesn’t have to be a bad thing, Ross insists—but regardless, Michelle notes her command of the stage. After keeping mum for most of the critiques, Ru speaks up when they get to Tamisha. She’s head over heels for Tamisha’s dress. Michelle loved her mini challenge looks as well, but dings her for holding back in her energy during the performance. As for Utica, she’s very much herself and the judges commend her for that. They encourage her to stay true to herself and her drag.
The judges deliberate, then call the queens back to the stage and once again, the top two queens are announced, leaving the rest safe. This time, it’s Denali and Rosé in the top. They’ll be lip-syncing for a $5000 tip to Britney Spears’ “If You Seek Amy.” Denali serves up Britney, while Rosé goes a bit broader. She includes a few trademark twirls, while Denali pulls out some duckwalking and voguing. They drop down into dramatic splits together late in the lip-sync, and Denali stays in character to the end, while Rosé returns to a more comedic interpretation. Both do well, but Ru gives Denali the win, opting for character over comedy. It’s another happy non-elimination ending, but as Ru warns, the last for quite a while. Starting next episode, eliminations are back. With this performance and lip-sync under their belt, the Pork Chop queens have declared themselves. When the groups merge next episode and the season proper kicks off, it’ll be fun to track how much of the Team Looks vs. Team Performance—with a few notable exceptions—dynamic remains. If the best of each group manage to match their counterparts, it’ll be a strong season. If not, at least these queens can lip-sync.
Stray observations
- LaLa Ri seems to be the main Winners’ Circle queen focused on not being complacent. The episode hits this note a bit hard, but it’s a valid point: It will be easy for them to get cocky.
- I am absolutely loving Tamisha. I hope he is able to keep up with the others. This is a physically demanding competition for anyone, let alone someone less than a year out from chemo. His motherly energy in the workroom, not to mention pitch perfect reaction shots, are definite highlights of this episode.
- Can Nicole Byer please stay, or at least become recurring? She’s always terrific on the judges’ panel.
- Since I somehow haven’t mentioned it yet, I love the change to, “Racers, start your engines and may the best Drag Queen win.”
- In case this isn’t enough drag for you, Drag Race U.K. season two just premiered and will be running concurrently with season 13. I won’t be covering it at The A.V. Club, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed it’ll live up to the show’s incredibly charming first season.

Drag Race UK premiere was hilarious and they’ve got a very good bunch of contestants. Highly recommend.
Agreed, the premiere was a lot of fun and seems like a great group of queens.
…with a questionable elimination. Do not excite me with talent and then yank it away like that! And none of the runway looks were as fun as last seasons’ QE2 tributes.
I found the first Drag Race UK pleasant enough but kind of underwhelming. It seems like the UK queens, while likeable people, just aren’t larger than life characters the way North American queens are
I’d say wait til you meet Ginny Lemon, but there’s actually a few queens this season that seem a bit… extra.
There’s a difference between that pack of screaming twenty year-olds on Canada’s Drag Race and people who are loud, but fun and have loads personality, like this bunch. Lawrence Chaney for the win! Of only the talking heads, unless she ups her drag and loses the self-deprecating bit.
After the half-way point, it also seemed like S1 turned into a family reunion of everyone’s craziest aunts. It was still pretty good entertainment, but the drag was also a bit scary. It’ll be interesting to see how this group turns out.
I think that’s just a cultural difference you kind of have to accept. US drag is very informed by pageants where, even if they’re not part of the pageant scene, queens are encouraged to be extra. But British drag is rooted in cabaret. Even over-the-top queens like Leigh Bowery would do performances.
I enjoyed the UK premier much more than I have any of the first three episodes of this U.S. season so far!
DRUK has better performers this go around. I felt the first season had too many female impersonators as oppposed to drag queens. I’m loving Lawrence though.
Might be because of differences in the actual songs themselves, but I thought the verses in this group were noticeably stronger; some of them last week were rushed (Tina) and/or almost unintelligible (Kandy). The performance was also more cohesive despite hinting at there being too many choreographers in the group. In any case, I’m glad we are finally past these non-elimination episodes.Denali and Rose at the top seemed fair given their main challenge performances, but Denali demolished that lip sync in my mind. Not every song needs a comedic take, so I was good with that outcome. Joey was fun enough in the song, although as much as I hate to agree with Michelle and Ross, using that same natural hair style with a simple color change made her looks seem rather similar when they put them up on screen. Enjoyed Utica’s vamp and main runway looks even if her verse was a bit nonsensical. Will be interesting to see how far “being kooky” and fashionable takes her.
Tamisha looked stunning on the runway, and I was a bit miffed they took that time to talk about Tandi instead when it was already brought up in the workroom. Not to say that performance doesn’t deserve the praise, but I’m hoping Tamisha’s storyline isn’t just “she’s so motherly” at the expense of her actual talent (although I’m glad she is also just happy to be there considering all she went through to get here). As for Kahmora, I don’t know if this is fair to say, but for taking that much longer to get ready, I was expecting a bit more? The outfits are nice, but there doesn’t seem to be much else there, unfortunately. Also a thousands times yes to adding Nicole Byer as a full-time judge! She’s an absolute delight.
but I’m hoping Tamisha’s storyline isn’t just “she’s so motherly” at the expense of her actual talent Too late! You know exactly that this is going to be her storyline. The only person who is allowed to be old and multifaceted on this show is Ru.
That white dress Kashmir’s wore in the fashion show was TO DIE FOR. Absolutely gorgeous. But yes, I was expecting more considering how long it took her to get ready.
I noticed with interest that none of the panel brought up the delay, an issue which is normally inexcusable. Does this mean that Kahmora is out next week ? Is it supposed to be ominous foreshadowing of a mid-season temporal implosion, in which she is teleported (wearing her Betty Ford bouffants), back to 1971? Or IS IT because she’s going to win it all with breakout challenge performances??? Nah, even I don’t believe the last one.
I was really surprised they didn’t bring up the delay, but I think they were going easy on the girls since there was no elimination. We’ll see if it becomes a problem in later episodes. I really hope Kahmora pulls out a surprise performance because I’m really starting to like her. Her Bob Mackie dress probably cost more than Kandy and Denali’s entire wardrobes, but she didn’t act like she was better than the other girls because of it. And I loved her response to the judges when they mentioned the competition. “Where?”
I agree. I’m getting impatient for an episode where someone gets eliminated. I love Nicole Byer too.
I’m finding the Porkchop queens far more likeable in general than the winner queens and I’m sure that will be leaned into by the editors and the queens themselves as the winning queens get more and more hubristic and entitled. It’s a surprise that the Porkchop group generally seemed to have better performance chops though the winning group generally has “bigger” (i.e. more annoying) personalities and seemed to be a bit more fashion-y. To me as a whole the Porckchop groups would be about even with the other were it not for the presence of Kahmora and Utica, who I think are quite a bit weaker than rest of this season’s queens. If we ever start eliminating people to me it’s virtually certain that the first to go will be Kahmora. Utica is likeable as a person and they seem to be setting up a narrative for her but her “lewks” just aren’t there, thought she has improved in general since the first episode. Kate I don’t even understand what you’re doing with what geneder you refer to the queens as at this point. Sometimes it seems to change in the same sentence
I’m really enjoying Utica! Okay, her drag’s not perfect — although I did love the Edwardian Vamp look — but she’s still a lot of fun to watch. Still, though, Ru’s introduction would have been a lot more effective if she had said “Rochester…Brooklyn Park…Utica. Minnesota!” Missed opportunity, girl.
Moorhead…Climax…Utica!
I thought everyone else got absolutely BTFO by Utica in every category. I was *shocked* to see the winners’ lipsync not be Utica vs. Utica, and even more shocked to see Rosé and Denali..? I’m assuming the judging for winner does not take into account anything other than the main challenge this season?
Okay, Utica’s mom, I mean Miko, you really like her!
I love Utica, and she is my favourite of the bunch. And I say that knowing that av club is not a safe space anymore where you can say your preferences without being insulted for it.
I also love Utica, especially her eye makeup. She looks like Neko Case to me.
Uh, I don’t know about what others might say, but what I wrote was a tease. I did not throw aspersions in your direction. No vilification or attempt to denigrate your point of view. I like Utica, I just thought your praise of her was pretty funny, “Utica vs. Utica”! Come on, that is definitely in Mom territory. lol
Utica in drag looks like Dee from It’s Always Sunny (especially in that look up top) and I am here for it.
I thought that tonight’s episode was actually a grade above last week’s…but that’s entirely due to Nicole Byer’s appearance at panel. Both Ru and the producers must love her as well: she got more airtime and more of her commentary was showcased than anyone else. Deservedly.
Fun fact: when the then-rumored cast list was floating around, basically everyone assumed as a matter of course that Kahmora was virtually unbeatable. I don’t know how far she goes, but she looks pretty beatable to me.
Yeah, besides looks I don’t really know what she brings? She can’t dance, or sing, and doesn’t seem to have a knack for acting or comedy. I also don’t get the impression that she designs or makes any of her outfits.
I do wonder that if you’re a somewhat seasoned queen who only does a few shows per month, those shows are probably great just by virtue of not having the same burnout or repetition that a full timer may have. Plus if she really does usually use 5 – 6 hours to get ready, she probably looks extremely refined. Maybe that’s where that pre-air vibe came from.
I’d like her looks more if she toned down her hair, as that volume just completely overwhelms her gorgeous face. It’s not a coincidence that her lady look, where she reined it in, was her best of the night.
It’s amazing how eyebrows can change a face. Kahmora out of drag without eyebrows is kinda meh. Kahmora out of drag with eyebrows is cute AF. I couldn’t believe it was the same person.
Forget Joey’s hair; how many times are the judges going to let JJ get away with a body suit being the default base of a drag look? They’ve roasted other queens for it, but every look JJ had tonight started with one.Would it have killed to have seen the announcement to the Chops that they weren’t going home? It felt like we missed a key stone being laid in their foundation.Rose may even be as good as she thinks she is, but that Moe Howard haircut he uses when out of drag has GOT to go.Totally #TeamTamisha if for no other reason than some of these #PunkChops (Denali) need to be toned down.
How much are you willing to bet Kahmora can’t sew, either?
Rose may even be as good as she thinks she is, but that Moe Howard haircut he uses when out of drag has GOT to go.Good god, I had exactly the same thought last night. Rose is kind of hot, both in and out of drag, but that werkroom look with the awful hair, when she was prancing around in that schmatte, was just the worst. In the words of one Violet Chachki: total boner killer.
Forget Joey’s hair; how many times are the judges going to let JJ get away with a body suit being the default base of a drag look? They’ve roasted other queens for it, but every look JJ had tonight started with one.
I missed Joey’s critique, but in the deliberations, Ross and Michelle both agreed that Joey’s looks were just variations of the same basic outfit.
I thought this was a marked improvement over last week, which coupled less thrilling queens with a lot of contrived drama and buckled under weight of this whole convoluted way to split the girls into two groups.These queens were a whole lot more interesting and entertaining as a whole. Their performance was leaps and bounds better, and their looks a lot more telling about their points of view, and their energy just generally… better. And Nicole Byer is a national treasure. She is the embodiment of joy.
That main stage performance was miles ahead of last week’s. The first group was a sloppy mess compared to the Pork Chop Chicks.
The full video should have been posted in the articleWish the tech folks would digitally enhance thisAnd I double dare a team on Dancing with the Stars to recreate the routine.
I’m really enjoying Denali so far as a performer and as a person on the show. She (and Rose) both remind me of Jan without the anxiety, and I really liked Jan! I’m not sold on Utica yet. She was a little too off-brand Thorgy Thor for me. I think it’s a choice, but it comes off as lacking in refinement and I think by this season, we’ve seen too many out of the box queens who are also refined in what they do.I do wonder if we’ll see a lot of small group and team challenges like this where they are split over two episodes because of Covid. I still imagine some of the choice to have them do this particular challenge as two groups of 6/7 rather than 1 group of 13 was generated by social distancing.
Denali looks a lot like Tatiana in drag. For me it’s Joey Jay who reminds me of Jan. In fact, almost all of the queens seem like copies of queens past. Maybe that’s the side effect of a show being on so long. Some of the girls start to blend together.
I agree Joey Jay reminds me of Jan’s aesthetic. Rose and Denali remind me more of her in talking heads.
Denali looks a lot like Tatiana in dragShe’s not half as gorgeous, though. Let’s all remember Alyssa’s words as Tatianna stepped into the AS2 Werkroom: “…she is BEAT!”. Denali’s got some growing to do.
Hell to the yes for keeping Nicole Byer, but then again I just generally approve of Nicole Byer always being in everything. (Oh, and I also want Canada’s Drag Race to keep Mary Walsh, but I don’t think that’s happening either.)
I found Denali’s runway underwhelming; it was okay, but really nothing special. But there’s no denying that she brought it in the main challenge. Tamisha’s runway was much more pageant-oriented than I usually go for, but undeniably gorgeous. Overall, I don’t think anybody this week out-runwayed Symone and GottMik’s lamé looks last week — but conversely, I’m struggling to remember any part of last week’s song and dance challenge at all, and this week’s girls definitely brought more to that.As for UK, I have to admit that it very clearly seems like Lawrence Chaney’s race to lose. But then again, I’ve never exactly been known for my ability to predict the ultimate winner of most Drag Race seasons, so…who knows?
Tamisha better have a role in Drag Race if she doesn’t win this competition. She’s amazing.
I don’t normally watched Untucked but I happened to for this episode and it was absolutely endearing. They were all really supportive of one another, there was no shadiness or cattiness. They talked about how it was actually good they were the ‘Pork Chop’ queens because now they’ll have a little more humility, having experienced being in the bottom. Also there was some more insight on how they voted Elliott vs. Utica. It’s because Utica picked up Kahmora’s nail when it fell off!
I thought this episode was way better than the others. I had a hard time with the winner group and their attitudes. The humility with the Porkchops really allowed for their real, not made for tv personalities to shine through. I love Tamisha and her gown was stunning.
Sometimes I am really tired even to give my opinion on things. But I agree on this being the better of the THREE premieres, I have a crush on Utica, and btw someone sent me naked pics of Joey Jay and Rose which I immediately deleted as it is an attack to their privacy but yeah we can confirm that they are hhhhhhhhhhhot.DRUK is fantastic. I cried a bit with Glenn Cl… Joe Black being eliminated (well, no, I cried at the Alan Turing suit, because as cute as it was, it had nothing in common with Turing, but hey) and Scottish 1 is a blast to watch. He reminds me of some people I met in my life, which are huge, live thinking that they are too much and do not realise how much a delight they make everyone’s life. Just keep on commenting, people. I love to read you all.
I admit, I was not expecting to like Tamisha as much as I do. She’s very warm and motherly, and I hope she sticks around for a while.Word to everyone who mentioned Rose’s haircut out of drag:I also like Utica, but then again, I tend to dig queens who are quirky but loveable goofballs.The rest of PorkChop Queens are still kind of underwhelming to me at this point, but I do hope Kahmora ends up with a better, more supportive boyfriend; because having to separate such a big part of his life is some serious bullshit.Lastly, it’s too bad there’s no UK recap;
I adore Lawrence Chancy and Ginny Lemon, while the queens of color like Asttina Mandella and Tayce are giving me life with their Black Girl Magic vibes…
