katya is just such a fucking good person. It just radiates out of her. Beyond being a great entertainer, she really just deserves like everything in the world. I want it all for this bitch.

[@glitteringdystop1a]

You're right. She's radiant :) and after hearing a little more of her life story (which was more than a little depressing) I'm extra glad she's become so successful and has found some much-needed happiness. (She needs to win All Stars in my opinion as well)

[@onecesarsalad]

She should have won season 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@pinfold1000]

+ToonLink96 she got our hearts instead

[@saffronlealle6694]

James Baxter same!! I love Katya!!

[@quillber]

so true Katya is such a sweetie

[@abbie-louisemillward3574]

'It's like a cube' 'It has four sides' I mean sure Katya

[@MsTheSukilove]

She didn't go to school for math, you know...

[@thetragicomical]

It's obvious the art college taught her to think... outside of the box. B) +Abbie-Louse Millward

[@finnalvarez1964]

Abbie-Louise Millward listen, she went to community college, she knows what she's talking about. cubes have 4 sides now.

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

She's a gorgeous woman and a really cute guy and so bloody likeable! Great transformation!

I am so attracted to Katya and I can't. He is perfect.

[@sf.jellyfish7813]

THE crystal methyd?? Shook.

[@samthraxx.]

Same! So much same. 😍🤤

[@tatumrose612]

I honestly really like the feel of this episode. In some other episodes, the guests seemed kind of uncomfortable, but with Katya, they made a lot of eye contact when they spoke and little things like that. I love when people act like this, it's not awkward to watch or anything

[@eLOVES1911]

Highly agree.

[@blooodytwins]

katya is the sweetest angel on earth

[@ms.martiegallego8834]

Katya has such a likeable personality!! She is so smart ,also!!!!! I really think she's One of the best!!!!

[@lucia63676]

Katya is really lovely but mostly in other episodes when guests look uncomfortable is bcos James is so touchy and has no understanding whatsoever of personal space

[@ms.martiegallego8834]

I've noticed, he is kinda touchy feely!! LOL !!!

[@julianamaia939]

"A lot of people like to prime their skin before makeup, i like to just... pray" lmao

+May Dinh I am glad I'm not the only one who caught that. 4 sides will make a pyramid.

[@zzzmidi]

+SyronJAG wouldn't that make 5 sides instead

[@locknes7038]

+May Dinh +SyronJAG A pyramid can have 4 or 5 sides. You are both right.

[@Jay_R_]

I guess me and Katya are a match-made-in-Heaven (actually, in Hell, since all the cooler folks are all down there...) because I totally missed that. I was like, 'mhmm, yes baby, whatever you say is right. A Square has 4 sides. Yes it does.'

[@RK-ev6dw]

I was going to comment that LOL

[@jasmin7168]

I love that Katya is weaning a scrunchie, but isn't wearing hair ✌
