Episode 206: The Joseph McRae Show (Season 22 Episode 10)
Hernease and Nayland are back in The Workroom for a dynamic duo deep dive of this rapidly fired finale. The title is both a spoiler and us leaning in to what this season has always been. So join us as talk about Aaron’s moment with Joseph McRae, how we wished we could see more of Aaron, how Jude is just a boy under the stairs, Queen Liris in that Anna dress, where did Day 3 go and what must’ve the model casting been like?
This is part 1 of our discussion and Patricia will be back in The Workroom next week for our wrap up episode to share their shrewd fashion thoughts on the final episodes of the season.
Don’t forget to send us YOUR take of the season overall! It’ll be fun to wrap this season with a bow of your thoughts on this season.
