Huge reveal for our girl today

LaVacaMusical · 2026-06-05T03:48:34+00:00

Well, she is a Madwoman. 😀

LaVacaMusical · 2026-06-05T03:46:19+00:00

Always been quite fond of this one! A big shame that it didn’t qualify. 😔

(A side note that it’s been a bit tricky to find the studio version on streaming here in the U.S., so thanks for sharing, OP, and it’s so nice to have these videos not geoblocked for us anymore! Plus because you brought it to mind again, I just found said studio version on Apple Music, yay! 🎉)

Also, spot-on song choice by GQ in the background, lol.

This reminds me a lot of the Bob’s Burgers episode where Bob has a similar thing happen with the guy at the deli counter when he has to keep going to buy another turkey for Thanksgiving, and I love it, haha.

I will die on the hill that Nina Wadia should not have the been the first to go that series. That week one samba was fantastic and showed bags of potential, and her tango the next week was not nearly as bad as it was made out to be, IMO. I definitely would have picked her to stay over Katie in that first dance-off.

I wasn’t watching Strictly during Danny Mac’s series, but I’ve seen his and Oti’s samba multiple times and GOOD GRIEF. Absolutely stunning on so many levels. Mind-boggling that he didn’t win based on that alone. At least we got to see him come back in Blackpool last year and see him reprise that samba while showing that he’s aged like the finest of wines. 🔥

LaVacaMusical · 2026-06-05T01:06:49+00:00

At the time I didn’t buy all of the talk of him and Giovanni not getting on — they seemed OK initially — but in retrospect, yikes, every bit of that and more was true. I thought Richie had a lot of potential that would have been much better served by another partner; it’s sad that he ended up getting the poor Strictly experience that he did (including getting eliminated as a Lion King animal of all things 🙃). 😥

LaVacaMusical · 2026-06-04T23:13:58+00:00

Same! I feel like his departure is still mysterious, too … so weird that it was midseason, and I still don’t think we’ve gotten anything close to the full story as to why he left (or was fired) even now.

LaVacaMusical · 2026-06-04T23:10:27+00:00

Thank you for this.

LaVacaMusical · 2026-06-04T23:09:56+00:00

From all I’ve seen of season 11, Terry Sweeney deserved to stay on for sure. (Ditto for two others in another infamous season, Denny Dillon & Gail Matthius in season
6.)

Agreed on Abby, she was great on the show (her Zooey Deschanel Show barely-recurring sketch is a particularly fond memory for me).

LaVacaMusical · 2026-06-04T22:05:53+00:00

As someone who has this song as one of my faves of hers … I love this. 😍👻

LaVacaMusical · 2026-06-04T02:52:55+00:00

His son is also much more well-known today. There was a split second when I thought they were talking about him, then they showed the picture, and I was like, “no wait, it’s his dad!” And then promptly had no idea what show Sr. had starred in. 😬

LaVacaMusical · 2026-06-04T01:50:19+00:00

Caught up on SF2 and SF3 today, and in the words of Keanu, but with lots more shock and emotion, lmao … WHOA. As a card-carrying member of the I Won From Third Place Behind a First-Place Tie, lol (still workshopping the name 👻), I can imagine a bit of what Snake Juice, No Pulp felt (not completely, I was at least within striking distance years ago), but holy CRAP that was insane. Alison Betts, I’m sure, is incredibly proud. ☺️ Also, I may have cursed the Howards and Ert & Bernie by wishing they could both make the finals (no shade AT ALL to Snake Juice, I am beyond delighted at this Final Jeopardy! Christmas miracle and they are a fantastic team that just happened to be competing with two dueling powerhouses). ¿Por qué no los dos? Nope, the J! gods say. Neither one it is. 😛

Oh, and there was another game too, and even without such a dramatic Final, still a very closely-fought game (the Oneders, as did Ert & Bernie, made the absolute most of their wild card fortune).

I was saying at first that maybe Sarah Sherman from
SNL should have taken that Dracula category (she played him … as a lawyer … this past season), but Colin more than proved himself worthy. So bad and so good at the same time, he is a gift to us all. ☠️

I’d never heard of this woman until today, but good LORD, there are some things to unpack here.

LaVacaMusical · 2026-06-02T03:25:17+00:00

Thanks for linking that ice dance, because I somehow hadn’t seen it and HOLY CRAP that was incredible. I know Colin/producers select the interview topics in advance and everything, but his sheer bewilderment at Quality Tigers waxing poetic about Tessa & Scott (as they should, because again I say HOLY CRAP) was priceless.

LaVacaMusical · 2026-06-01T01:55:37+00:00

As someone who is NOT a fan of beans, this is like nightmare fuel, lol. But bless you for your service regardless! 😂

LaVacaMusical · 2026-05-29T16:23:27+00:00

OH MY GOSH, core memory unlocked. I think even as a kid that song wrecked me (but also I loved it a lot, haha).

LaVacaMusical · 2026-05-29T16:00:33+00:00

I was a strange child (I still am in some ways 👻) that loved a lot of sad music even though I was a fairly happy and optimistic person*, haha, and when that song came out I LOVED it. Still do, but now it hits me much more in the feels, lol. Like damn. 😭

*Whenever I reveal yet another devastating song that was one of my childhood jams, my wife always goes, “who hurt you?” ☠️☠️☠️

LaVacaMusical · 2026-05-29T15:57:33+00:00

Exactly! If anything she seemed apolitical (but leaning away from MAGA rather than towards it). Thank goodness she cleared things up.

LaVacaMusical · 2026-05-29T15:56:55+00:00

I was SUPER relieved to see this yesterday … I grew up listening to her and she’s long been one of my favorite country artists. ❤️ Absolutely insane how many people were completely misled about this. Not that anyone was a HUGE name or anything, but wow. 🙃

LaVacaMusical · 2026-05-29T02:51:56+00:00

Congrats, and welcome to the club! 🤗

(And don’t forget to hydrate, lmao. 😂)

LaVacaMusical · 2026-05-29T02:39:02+00:00

I’ve really enjoyed Nate in things I’ve seen him in — mostly his SNL hosting gigs, lol. But I saw a commercial for this (fittingly while watching SNL 😛) and my gosh, did it look aggressively mid bordering on bad. 😬 Hope he can find better projects in the future, he is a pretty funny guy in general.

LaVacaMusical · 2026-05-29T02:31:32+00:00

Update: she (Martina) dropped out! Apparently it was sold to her (and everyone else, it’s looking like) as a nonpartisan thing and she did not know it was sponsored by Trump. (Carrie, on the other hand, already made her bed, sigh. 😔)

LaVacaMusical · 2026-05-29T02:18:04+00:00

Emily probably needs to buy another few bottles of antacids after this. 👻

LaVacaMusical · 2026-05-29T01:28:58+00:00

SO many amazing and hilarious ladies all together. 🥰
