[This Nuts is Delicious]: Wait, people still watch this show?

[Tai Lung]: @This Nuts is Delicious Of course people still watch it! What are you even on about?! Anyway, I'm rooting for Nala! She's got this in the bag! #NalaStans

[Hawk Tuah]: Never even seen her before in my life, but man, she's drop-dead gorgeous! So uh… anyone got her StarGram? Asking for ehem… research purposes.

[Barney]: @Hawk Tuah Slide into my DMs, my fellow man of culture. I got you.

[Octopie]: @Barney Yo, you got Kitty's handle too? Asking for… uh… a friend.

[ScreamStar]: Sigh… another season, another army of irredeemable simps.

[TinyGirl]: Just watched the first episode! Looks pretty much the same as last season. Hoping it's not rigged this time.

[Leystan]: They all look good because it's the audition stage — everyone's trying to stand out. But aside from Nala, I didn't find most of them particularly impressive.

[Master Shifu]: Nala was seriously stunning! Loved her vibe. But I wasn't feeling Rocky — he looks like the kind of dude who definitely bullied people in high school.

[MuffinMan097]: Prince Jefferson totally stood out. And his surname?! Dude sounds like a character straight out of a medieval fantasy novel lol. Also, this reminds me I need to finish my novel.

[Lily]: Prince's name is literally Prince. He's handsome, and his original song? Perfection. I'm obsessed.

[Jones]: @Lily Nah, Nala was way better. The only reason Prince got so much screentime was because Kitty couldn't stop flirting with him!

[StarryEyes]: Ikr, Kitty asked Prince if he was engaged. ON. LIVE. TV. I'm still screaming Kyaahh!!!.

[Wheskers98]: This was supposed to be a singing competition. Kitty turned it into The Bachelor.

[DramaLlama]: I swear the producers didn't know what hit them. Even the judges looked shook or should I say having fun.

[FanGirlForever]: I'm not even mad. I'm invested. Are we shipping them? Is this happening? What's their ship name — #Kitce or #Printy?

[Charmee]: What the hell is #PRINTY!!!

[CouchCritic]: Meanwhile, Prince is just standing there like: "I'm just here to sing, ma'am."

[Doveman]: Well tbh, Prince really had a good voice and a lovable song.

[Meloowing098]: "I Guess I'm In Love" hit me straight in the feels. I was having a rough week, but that song? Instant comfort. I'm rooting for him all the way!

[FionaGreen]: @Meloowing098 Same! I've rewatched his audition like ten times just to hear that beautiful song again. Also, he seems like such a chill dude. Would totally hang out with him.

[Maryland]: Prince's voice, his gaze, his whole vibe — I'm MELTING.

[StudiousSnail]: Heard rumors there's gonna be a major overhaul of the themes after the prelims. If that's true, this season's gonna be wild.
