Man. Now, granted, this is a longer season than what the girls have had before, but still, you can't deny the Barbie. I love Angel. I do. And the way they tried to clown her for all her rebounds, they called it me bounds, because a lot of the time she's getting her own rebound. But like if it was that easy, then every fucking body would do it. But she turned around and started selling me bounds merch. Like, you can't stop that, Diva.
