Is thisshoweven any good anymore?

It continues to have a constitution that I just cant figure out.

First, we get a scene where Austen calls and invites Whitney and Patricia to the Friendsgiving.

Also, she is lit-rally allergic to Kathryns eye makeup.

(What is going on with COVID protocols here?

Madison clearly isnt invited to Friendsgiving because Austen hates her, but Venita isnt invited either.

We need one of thoseStaples Easy buttonsbut one that says Yikes!

and goes off repeatedly for the entire hourSouthern Charmisbop-ba-doo-ing across your television screens.

It looks kind of like a babushka, but all the women are joking that they look like Pilgrims.

Craig says its cultural appropriation and theyre all going to get canceled.

That is not the conversation Naomie is trying to have.

Instead shes like, Why are you beingweeeeeiiiiirrrrrdddddd?

which is a whole different vat of turkey-frying oil.

What year is this?

Theyre not going to braid each others hair and talk about Yung Gravy at the VMAs.

Thats all either of them needs from this.

But that would mean theyre both a part of this cast.

What even is this show?
