LESLIE KNOPE = ELEVEN. Waffles, man. It’s all about the waffles.
Here are some very mild spoilers about a battle scene that is going to take place on Game of Thrones next season. Super mild. Like, I don’t even know if they count as spoilers.
Wow, did Doran Martell just accuse HBO of being the ones who leaked those episodes of Game of Thrones last season? “…last season, I believe that the first few episodes were stolen and downloaded online, and everybody got to see them before the show actually aired, and everybody was furious at HBO and whatnot. I don’t know if you remember. I am almost positive that those four episodes were leaked by HBO themselves. So there is an enormous amount of spin going on. I can’t tell you that for sure; that’s just my opinion, but it’s games; everybody’s playing these games.” Yep, I guess he did.
And Phi Phi O’Hara is not pulling any punches about RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars. “…this is going to sound really harsh — but I felt like we’re not people to [RuPaul]. We’re just game pieces for her show and she didn’t care enough to know who we were. So when I saw that she unfollowed me, which is cool, whatever, but then put that little snarky cosplay Jessica Rabbit comment, I’ve completely lost all my respect for RuPaul.” Don’t hold back, Phi Phi. Tell us how you really feel, Phi Phi.
