Omg EVERYTHING

[@graxx478]

What did we do to deserve him?

[@genevievemarie9427]

Greene_. I know, he's a bit too much. I thought Adam Rippon was outrageous but this guy gives him a run for his money!

Holly Bursey you can have his confidence if you choose a cliched over-the-top personality you feel most comfortable with and then commit to it REALLY hard. I pretend to be Batman when in public!

I feel so sad for people who dont like him/get him. He's pure joy.

[@discoskull]

@mikechrishill How sad for you. Feel better

[@discoskull]

@mikechrishill It doesn't affect you either way, so I'm not sure why you care enough to act so nasty towards people who are just being themselves. It's sad because you could be focusing your mental energy on improving your own life/ being your own self/ figuring out how to be happy, rather than shitting on others for doing so.

[@artaquino6388]

@mikechrishill he doesn't act like that to be funny tho??? You are just annoying and boring idiot

[@artaquino6388]

@mikechrishill oh my god you played as a psychologist trying to figure out why he acts like this? How stupid

[@margaretforsey7763]

Kimmel: you seem like you guys really like each other This is the first time I've ever seen a person interviewing a man, that works with other men, talk about whether or not they like each other. It's always been directed towards women.

[@andrewizquierdo5944]

I never saw the original series, always thought it wasnt my thing. but when me and my gf saw the reboot on netflix we decided to just put it on, and omg, this show is amazing. so much feels in this show! and all the guys are great. Johnathan quickly became our favorite haha. cant wait for another season (at least i hope theres another season)

[@xochitlr.2657]

Honestly i didnt like the original, the new cast are definitely more relatable and endearing in my opinion

[@agnesm_23]

Yes..i liked the other one but this was a modern upgrade. I even cried in a few episodes, was not expacting that..wish there is a new season..

my favourite thing about season two was how the fab five are actually friends now. Sure they were great together in season one but now they've been in each other's lives, and have shared stories, and have had time to actually hang out together. It's incredible to see the difference.
