Was hoping my silence would help with views, will continue to be of service instead 💟
Good episode, I'm having a revelation!
love to see it!
🌪 🏫
♿💙
is this supposed to be episode 65? the episode before this says 64? what about 65-68?
Great Episode, as always!!! ♥
@@Paul-zw7or thank you 🥰
💜👑
Great episode! 2 queens 💜👑
@@emorces thank you!!
It's so inspiring seeing two amazing Asian women win television! 🎉
@@BearCobb thank you so much. I loved watching Alex win!
Wow, she's stunning... 💜☺ Her story is very relatable. I find my Catholic extended family to be more accepting than my Protestant nuclear family. I don't know how to deal with my parents, because they depend on me as they're getting older, and I still have some dependency on them due to my autism. I already haven't been going to church for almost 4 years and that is causing them so much grief and anxiety.
I remember watching Will and Grace and there being a joke about how lesbians were angry and off-putting. I knew that my father's negative comments about Ellen DeGeneres when she first came out were wrong, and I always felt like an ally when I gained awareness, but when, even the gay community (e.g., a television show, because I was coming from an isolated, religious setting) seemed to be negative about such things, then it just seemed that liking women wasn't ideal. Also taking into consideration the fact that I liked boys, too, I just assumed that I didn't fit into that box, so I didn't have to worry about it. I didn't know Bi was a thing or an option, and it took me decades to accept it.
This was such a great interview.. I've been following Kathleen's teaching for a few weeks now and it was nice to come across this interview. You also asked really great questions. I enjoyed it very much
@@Purvisvarietyoflife thank you so much! It was a joy to speak to her and I learned a ton from her too
As a big Dear Shandy fan, thank you for this! You did such a fantastic job of highlighting their personalities and asking thoughtful questions 😊
@@jamie00000qqr really appreciate this! I know they’re so beloved and it was an honour to chat with them
Alex should not have won, she didn't deserve it. horrible woman Nigel was the most honourable traitor and should have won.
WHOAH. One of the most iconic winners ever.
Trash. Absolute trash

Oh fuck off with your feelings crap.
Who cares?

Just saw his episode on dr Phil 10 years ago. Then his relapse. It’s awesome to see him back from the brink of death. I’m so happy to see he’s in recovery and healing. This DV is now a fan. Just awesome!
🤩 🥇
Survivor really needs to find a way to cast Todd again. Seeing him and Earl on the show again would be a dream come true
Our society needs to be flushed down the toilet.
Thank you for having me ❤❤❤

I'm bisexual and have been all my life. I've never dressed a certain way or had a haircut in a certain way to indicate my bisexuality. In fact, I find this "dress code" to be BS. What difference does it make how you dress and cut your hair? It's very judgmental to have to look a certain way to be accepted into the Queer community. I'm snubbed by lesbians because I'm "straight looking" and that's completely BS.

Erika, this episode with Willow was deeply moving and so important for "later in life" queer folks! Her journey and your thoughtful questions really highlight the challenges and triumphs of coming out on reality TV. I've sent you a DM on Instagram - can't wait to connect and hear more. Keep up the amazing work! 🌈
My favorite ❤️
So glad to hear from Willow! She has such a unique journey and perspective.
Agree, it was quite the journey and she's shown so much resilience 💖
Let hope we bring #BBCAN Winner guest at somepoint like Sarah Hanlon or the latest winner (Bayleigh).
..? 🤷♀
It's so funny this was released, because I actually just finished rewatching bbcan3! So happy to hear from her 9 years later to see the lovely person she's grown to become her true self. Great podcast per usual Erika 💜
What a coincidence! It's a joy to see how well Willow is doing now. Thank you for tuning in ❤
Loved this interview! Looking forward to more!
🎤🤡
Glad he's healthy. Now he needs Jesus 🙏
Wonderful interview. All you have to do is help ONE person with your message and its worth it. GOOD TO SEE WOMEN SUPPORTING OTHER WOMEN: Mani
