Sunny Hostin said it best: "How mediocre must you be if you have to game a system that disproportionately advantages you anyway?"
Love her
Mediocre? How about sub par? The mediocre kids are getting average grades while working part time at Applebee's. If your family is that rich and gave you all those advantages, and they still need to bribe people to get you into college, you're officially a dud. A rich dud who will be fine no matter what.
I don't know if this was clear, but, yes, I have mad respect for people going to high school and working part time to help their families, regardless of what grades they make.
Sub-mediocre
@@MsSphinx91 It's not about getting into college for them, it's about getting into a prestigious college. The kids working at Applebee's aren't trying to get into Harvard.
"What happens when they show up and they're not black??"
"Light Fraud."
THE PUN!!!
i didnt even notice that!!
She’s a Punny Queen (in the tune of super queen)
IK I WAS LIKE SKDJFHKSDJ
@@coffeeonzeetele Lol right
Subtle!)
Katya wanted to be a therapist but little did she know she helped millions of us out of a bad day with her drag. Even the best therapist in the world couldn't reach this many people.
truth!
FACTS
For reaaal
Yuh
Gospel truth 🙏🙏
excuse me if you can afford $50 million dollars to get your kid into a college your kid doesn't need college
Unless you want him to get into politics and continue a career of fraud and corruption.
Or just buy them the BEST tutor, holy sh*t lol
I guess it’s just pride for them
Right. If your kid was stupid, just say that. It makes you wonder about the IVY League schools like NYU - all the Kennedy’s went there. 💀 They’re all IVY League alumni’s. It can’t just be because of their name. I wonder if they were major donators/funders too.
Give the kid the $50 mil to start a business and mentor him to make the right decisions you did to be in that position. A legacy college is such a stupid thing to waste $50 million on.
i’m imagining katya as a therapist..... both wholesome and terrifying
A therapist who does heroin lmao
@@capturesintime639 meth, Katya never did heroin
@@capturesintime639 Katya only did uppers. In her words “It’s not very gay to do heroin.”
I’ll love her to be my therapist lmao
But definitely mostly wholesome
Plot twist: Katya was Trixie’s therapist all along and the true lessons was the friends they made along the way
aww this is the world i want to live in
I’ve read that exact story on Wattpad
@@15.Emily.Z Oh my. lol
@@ReptilianTeaDrinker it was quite good
katya as a therapist: “Just be yourself and if no one likes that... change”
Also, be your own dentist.

I wish they'd do one episode where they'll finally trick Trixie into watching Contact
😂😂😂 this!!!
trixie's seen it
That would be very funny. Like they say it's something else, they hide the title screen and it slowly dawns on her as she starts remembering Katya's references
And Katya watches Jawbreaker
YES!!!!!!!
“Standardized testing is no indication of anything other than your ability to take a long test.”-Katya Zamolodchikova As a teacher of disadvantaged youth(and someone who got a TERRIBLE ACT score), I agree wholeheartedly.
Almost all the research indicates that ST measures study skills.
@@LS-tj2ho i studied for my GRE for two months and still got a bad score LOL i’m just dumb
As someone who has achieved academic success largely because of my ability to take long tests, I wholeheartedly agree.
@@LS-tj2ho of course because the SATs and ACT are the biggest tests a high school student will ever take. These tests unfortunately determine if you’ll get into college or not. It’s crazy because they don’t mean much. An average or below average student could cram for the SATs or ACT, get accepted into college yet don’t take schoolwork seriously.
@@Corn22 you are not dumb those test are just about making money
"What if she doesn't go to college?"
"Invent a cool pocket"
katya's best line ever. i fuckin transcended this plane of existence
I absolutely agree
Isn’t a cool pocket just a spring roll???
A cool pocket is a ice cream pocket duh what a cool idea
I rewound this part like 7 times, it was so gold ✨
@@ff7_fan298 trixe hates being outshined
Love Trixie getting so shocked and Katya just being like "that's how it is on this bitch of an Earth"
Katya's like "see? THIS is why I'm not as excited about life as you always are." 😆
Katya pulls out one of many files from her conspiracy cabinet, and says "told ya".
No, it's just in America not the whole Earth sweetie
@@elizabthharris6741Conspiracy has nothing to do with this, honey. Conspiracy lovers are stupid people and Katya isn't
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 it was a joke. And a meth joke at that. Since I have had my drug use issues, I get to make em

the irony: rich people's kids don't need to go to university, AT ALL!
right?? from what I've seen many want to go for the "experience", the clout, or bc of friends.
but the truth is they will be just fine 😂😂😂 their future is secure
It really is all about the name of the school you can put on your resume at the end of the day.
@@meganpetitto but how many resumes will they ever make 🤷🏻♀️ none!
It’s to make contacts, keep the rich and powerful Rich and Powerful and not let others into the club
This could have all been avoided if she had just invented the Cool Pocket
I think my kink is trixie and katya violently hating anyone involved in a documentary. Like same
Wassap ☝️
“This is disgusting and everything that’s wrong with the world and it makes me want to blow my brains out but Netflix is paying me to make jokes about it so guess I’ll try. 😬”
- Katyas facial expression throughout this video
I love it!
Yes peak attraction to Katya in this progrum review 🙋🏾♀️
“Sephora discontinued my palette...and now it’s just a lip gloss collab” WHAT PRIVILEGE
Katya, in a rare serious mode: 85% of their liquid assets could go towards impoverished-
Trixie, unhinged: OR it goes toward MY liquid *ass*
God bless them
Liquid ass is a real thing you can buy online, and the reviews are hilarious.
“i blame capitalism” ( 1:51 )
we all do, comrade katya
💯
😂
Agree
i’m so glad people are waking up to the bull shit we are fed here in america!
Faith 🍒 is communism any better lol.
Seeing how involved the kids had to be in the process is the reason why I couldn't make myself feel sorry for Olivia Jade... she knew what was going on.
THANK YOU. Everyone was like "oh she didnt know what her parents were doing" and im like "bitch she posed for the fake photos! Shes KNOWS shes doesnt have the gradea, she KNOWS she doesnt do any sort of high level sport or other typical scholarship activity, she knew the whole time her parents were buying her way in. Maybe not the exact method of fraud, but she knew she didnt earn her place.
and meanwhile, she did not Want to go to School.
and that isn't her fault
her parents are at fault
@@bluecollarlit They literally educated her to be entitled and fake instead of pursuing what she liked to do... That kind of confidence in their child O.O...
Like maybe they should’ve spent those resources actually learning a skill and tutors to get her into the school they wanted her to be in. Of course she’s spoiled and entitled and doesn’t wanna go to school, she wants to be an “influencer”.
Hell yea she knew!! I completely agree!
The fact that the kids who’s parents are doing this don’t even need or want to go to college. They go just for the “college experience” 🙄
Basically glorified day care for their adult kids who don't have any life skills to go out on their own
They go because a senator, or CEO without college, doesn't exist.
These people are running our fricken country man!
Yikes!
They go for the network and connections. Rich people stay rich by staying to themselves.
It’s more about the ‘name’ than anything. To say “oh my kid went here”
"standardized testing is no indication of anything other than your ability to take long tests."
so true, katya. so true.
No matter how much I studied, I just would get so bored and tired of taking a standardized test. The only one I ever did amazing on was in writing, but that was because I just get to write about stuff on my own.
It's mildly jarring to see Katya so world weary. Trixie: "They change the TESTS?!" Katya: "ABSOLUTELY. "
As someone with ADHD, YES!
It’s also been shown to more strongly predict parental income than college performance. Shocking NO ONE
So cringe Brian so cringe. Yeah sure so lets dismiss everyone who got high SAT scores thanks only to their intelligence and perseverance as ''making money''. In our country for example, these tests have significantly decreased the level of corruption/personal factors/prejudice for enrolling students. Maybe cause we don't have these absurdly rich people who can corrupt even this...
Trixie: God, she's so beautiful--
Katya: I DON'T GIVE A SH*T!!!
period!
2 years late but Katya is so correct for this😌
Is Katya absolutely insane? Yes. Is she ridiculously knowledgeable about systemic injustice? Also yes. I love her.
Yeah, but she's ridiculously not knowledgeable about injustice of russian multiple invasions. Also, don't throw words like insane around, sweetie
12:44 It was so bad that Olivia Jade made instagram stories where she'd say things like, "I mean, I'm not going to, like, GO TO CLASS, I am mostly here for the social network and parties." And apparently no one saw that (like the school she attended) as a red-flag at all.
Someone probably did, but the money made it into the school's bank accounts, so it was all good. Until the scam hit the news, of course.
"I'll never trust a man with a salt and pepper bowl cut."

“Check out my new single- ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT” 💀💀💀💀
Its not a queens who like to watch episode if Trixie doesnt say something about an everlasting gobstopper.
Thank you for that lol
And we love her for it 😂
For some reason 😂
trixie and katya just ripping apart the school system should be shown in every grade 10 careers class
Totally!
"sephora discontinued my palette and now its just a lipgloss collab" i was screaming.
Omg sameeee!!! 😂😂😂
I got into one of the top universities in the world as part of a quota of kids from low income backgrounds and I felt completely undeserving of being there for the first few years. Even though my subject was my dream to learn about, I felt that my peers were more deserving than I was. That I was not equipped to handle this world financially or intellectually. Now I know that many privileges kids scheme their way into university, I have to look back and think I was probably more deserving than I gave myself credit for.
I feel you! i got a full ride almost to my college and I worked so damn hard for them. I then had a guy in college ask how I got them and I joked "cause I'm black and a woman" and he fucking believed me for 3 days. He was very sarcastic 90% of the time and he paid for all his college bills outta pocket even though we were both AP students. Acted like I didn't deserve it but dude that's not my mf problem I literally had to get scholarships in order to be able to go to that school and not be in devastating debt.
@@lexamona96 Scholarships are often awarded based on merit and can be difficult to get. You are certainly just as deserving if not more than any student paying out of pocket. It took me a little while to stop focusing on how I got there and focus on being there. You just prove them wrong by succeding at university.
@@lexamona96
Hurt my heart that both of you feel this way…and hope you continue your journey of being badasses. This country is set-up for most to fail. Your hardwork got
you into those schools, and your smarts kept ya in. You both earned those spots and deserved the same opportunity. We have to break the cycles somehow, and help isn’t something to be ashamed of but a tool to make that change happen.
@@Mel-dg3etFirst of all, getting stipend or scholarships is NOT "getting help", it's working for your chance and earning it. Secondly, if you think USA is so bad, please come and try live in Ukraine, what with all the war... Or Iran or North Korea where people are persecuted or Nigeria or some other corrupted African countries where people don't stand a chance, and maybe you'll realize that it's not so bad in your country afterall. Or not.

"if he [Singer] would only apply that level of hustle to dismantling the current system that allows for this kind of fraudulent tomfoolery" comrade Katya I love you
Honestly I actually Katya would be a great therapist. She has this way of talking about things, her perspectives are genuinely refreshing and if you watch any of her lives or old periscopes you will know what I mean. She is incredibly well spoken, intelligent and observant.
I can't stop analyzing Katya's wig. It's like an upside down broom or one of those puppies with the ponytail
THE SECOND ONE
This comment is homophobia
It’s like a shih zsu
Puppies with the ponytail 😭😅😅😅

"...whose father created Hot Pockets..."
Anyone else get Mean Girls flashbacks after hearing that part?
"I don't think my father, the inventor of Toaster Strudel, would be too pleased to hear about this."
Put it in the book, honey
Little does Katya know, every single times she posts a picture of herself with her fake heads and feet, it’s free therapy for me.

“We have to put one white person in jail this year and then they get out in 3 days” KATYA WENT OFF AND DROPPED THE TRUTH 😭😂
I scrolled to be sure at least one person acknowledged this and all is right with the world
As an autistic person, them abusing accommodation for people like me is disgusting. Pretending to be disabled to get into a school? God, when are we getting rid of rich people, I'm so sick of them.
Trixie saying FIRKUS is everything
“You don’t even have a printer”... that is so Katya lol
Katya being so unsurprised by everything happening is such a mood
I love how Katya looks absolutely unimpressed about the entire documentary
"I'll never trust a man with a salt-and-pepper bowl cut." --Trixie Mattel, 2021
"undergrad is a scam wherever you go" ~ thus spoken Katya. gosh so true; i finished undergrad valedictorian and i am still unemployed!
Undergrad is just an expensive piece of paper, but after graduation, it's about who you and your parents know, so the rich just get their own kids jobs, while the rest of us write a bunch of cover letters that'll never get read because we don't have such references in our network.
I think my school was a rarity in that the BFA program I attended really did prepare you for real work situations instead of preparing me for grad school. Going to a school that didn't have a grad program really helped. Sorry you can't get a gig--hope that turns around for you before too long.

Wholly co-signing this!!!

As a french person who live in France where public college is about 300€ (~450/500$) per year, the amount of money discussed in this video blew my mind ! 🤯
Only 2,000 USD for collage 🤯
@@unethicaldrinkingwater for public ones, yeah ! And every public school from kindergarden to highschool is free. Education is a fundamental right so it should not be controlled by the money you have.
per year? PER YEAR? 500 dollars per semester at a public school here Dx
"Her name is FBI affidavit" I laughed so hard
I love that trixie said audition and not tryout for the sailing team😂
A true theater Queen💗
Trixie's impression of Wendy sent me to the moon, and I have not been back since. 😂😂 it's perfect!
Dula peep concert 🤣🤣
When Trixie said 'Hi Poor!' I felt that in my core
Katya : watching rich people and caring only if they lose. My spirit animal
"I don't think my father, the inventer of toaster strudel, would be very happy about this"- just took on a new dimension of hilarity
Katya "So did you get my stupid kid in college yet?!". 😂
Trixie saying "Everlasting Gobstopper" always gets me.
I love Katy educating trixie about the oppressive 👏class 👏system, honey .
“Money is more dangerous than a gun” the realest quote ever
Isn’t lovely when trixie allows Katya to talk without interruption 💕 perfection
It is a treat!
ladies and gentleman please welcome to the stage, FBI Affidavit
Can we just stop and look at how Katya seems so serious and fed up with this whole situation? Every time Trixie was like "WHT THE HELL???" Katya would just sigh and agree, like "Yeah, that's how it goes, I've seen a bunch of these already"
I always enjoy when Katya basically has a "duh" sort of reaction to Trixie's incredible naivety.

"Invent a COOL pocket." Wow, that sent me.
This episode should be called "Trixie and Katya shocked by capitalism" 😂
Techically only Trixie was shocked
“WERE GONNA BE TALKING TO YOU ABOUT LESBIANISM” IM DEAD BAHAHAHAH ☠️☠️
Coxswain is a position in crew (the thing where a bunch of ppl row in sync in that long boat). I think the coxswain is the one that yells so that everyone keeps in time. Usually the coxswain is a pretty small light person.
so disgusting how dude said the daughter had to be "stupid" and get shit wrong to fake a learning disability..really shows what these people think of neurodivergent folks 😐
The only thing that keeps me going is catching Trixie’s hyper-specific Maria Bamford references
Waitwaitwait I LOVE Maria and I didn't catch the reference this time around! What was it?
I’m also really excited to see her finally wear a wig 😂
@@lewis6180 same question! Love Bamford!
She’s a kaleidoscope of can-do! From “Weakness is the Brand”
The rich could’ve bought their children a career instead of paying for them to get into college. 💀😂 Honestly, when the whole scandal with Lori and her daughter went down, I wasn’t surprised. If you’re rich, what else are you gonna do with your money? You’re not gonna use it innocently entirely.
Imagine using all that energy to actually make sure your kids are learning and becoming great global citizens
3:24 idk why but katya's mildly shocked expression and that half-hearted glare when trixie slapped her is so funny
Omg thanks for that 😂 Just checked it lol
Katya has essentially been my therapist since season 7 of RPDR so...
Watch her...Katya's consumption of the set snacks escalates the more outraged she becomes. Deep down, she is a genuine Social Justice Warrior.
Ok but being for real, It makes me furious that I dedicated my life to getting into college based upon my grit and hard work, and these people just use their money to take up spots they really don’t need because why: THEY’RE ALREADY RICH
"Bob, I'd like to schedule a hit."
Katya pulling a paper out of her wig 😭😭😭😭😭
8:59 i love when they ACTUALLY get mad at something LOL you can tell katya was being 100% genuine
I’d like to think that Katya would hire Bob the Drag Queen as a Hitman
the amount of times i’ve heard trixie talk about going to theatre school and then ‘as if that wasn’t gay enough’ going to beauty school right after is too many
i feel like katya being your therapist would send you into an eternal madness
Trixie's super Midwest pronunciation of "progrum" is adorable
The points made in this 👏🏾 taking SAT classes for literally years was just practice for HOW to take a test well. It’s really sick
So my 1st choice school (a state school in the middle of nowhere) put my admission on hold until I get a better ACT score and raise my GPA a little. I took the ACT 3 times, worked my but off to get my GPA up, and did so many extra curricular activities and got in. What’s sad is I later talked to some slacker in one of my college classes who told me that he had lower scores and GPA than me and got accepted easily, which made me wonder why my school made me put all that work in if it didn’t even matter. Anyway I now have a bachelors degree and over $20,000 in debt.
Katya as a licensed therapist, and fully dressed in drag... would cure my crippling depression.
I’d also like to assume she’d have you pay with a bag full of loose teeth.
this series is just the gift that keeps on giving
I agree with Katya, they should liquidate their assets, but then use them to create scholarships for kids who actually earned it.
Also wouldn’t Lori Laughlin’s daughters story be super easy to refute? She documents like every second of her life, pretty sure she would have footage of countless rowing practices if it ever happened
LMAOOOOO the way they looked at each other at 12:03
i seriously love how much katya mentions parents and single parents (esp moms) it makes me feel so seen 🥰
The “Row, Row, Row your boat” line is the best line Tricia has ever said
