Hi! I’m excited to hear your take on Drama Queens. I liked their first episode, but I noticed they also did one thing that annoys me a lot with 90210mg: they don’t mention the name of the episode, or the episode number (ex: S2E8) in neither the title nor the episode description. So if for instance you’re just jumping in today on 90210mg, you wouldn’t know exactly which episode this podcast episode covered without actually listening to the episode. Maybe just a small detail to be annoyed with, definitely First World problems, but it drives me nutttts! It would literally take one second to add it either to the podcast episode title and/or the episode description. 🤷🏼‍♀️

On "9021OMG" on iHeart's website, each installment usually has the episode title and number listed in parentheses. For example, for today it says "Valentine's Day (S2 E8, "Wildfire)." But they don't always say it during the podcast when introducing the episode, so it would be easy for someone to be lost.

All of my criticisms about the podcast are first-world problems, but if they're putting out a product, it's fair to evaluate it critically.

Also, I think I do agree that, regardless of her mental health issues/what she did in the later episode with actual fire, Emily is a "bad girl", mostly because of what she did in episode U4EA, which I’m pretty sure she would have done regardless of the mental health issues we later find out about. Hard to know since it’s a fictional character and all, but that’s the impression I got. I don’t think she’s "crazy" as the show portrayed her/as a lot of the characters often referred to her after she’s gone, but I do think it’s fair to call her a bad girl 🙃

I was thinking more about "U4EA" since I posted and I think you make a fair point -- I think it's likely she would've drugged Brandon regardless of her mental state and, yes, that definitely qualifies as a "bad girl" thing to do.
