Who's Got Game: Great News "Squad Feud"

Great News is blowing up in the best way possible!!!

After a Q&A of the mighty women in the workforce that led to them feuding with one another t, they seized each other's squad, even Tatakeway Portia's social media followers. But when it came to Portia, pulling a parody of Taylor Swift's Bad Blood and posting a music video titled "Wash Dish, Bish."


Not to mention, the relationship between Katie and Greg grows as they switch positions after Katie begs Greg to do a story she wants. After a few bumps in the road, Katie seems to get the hang of it, and Diana gives her the Executive Producer position. The feud between them was sometimes hilarious, mostly when Carol, who knows about Katie and Greg's kiss, tried to get them back into that mood. But in the end, Katie takes her old job back from Diana.

"Squad Feud" might be my favorite episode of the second season so far, with the wit and intelligent writing. And not to mention the performances from the cast, mainly from Nicole Richie, who shines with her character feuding with Fey's character. I couldn't get enough of the music video of Portia and the crew. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Great News on Thursdays at 9:30/8:30 on NBC.

New News: Great News "Boardroom Bitch" Season Premiere

In the season premiere of Great News, a new boss takes over The Breakdown with some changes.

After pulling off a fake new stunt, The Breakdown gets a new boss, Diana St. Tropez, who makes a splashing first appearance as the station's janitor. With Diana making some changes, Katie, a massive fan of hers, asked if she could be her mentor but declined. But Katie gets one piece of advice from her to freeze her eggs to put her career first over family.

Meanwhile, Diana makes some changes to the format of The Breakdown, taking the format of cable news with shouting about topics that become ratings winners. Chuck, who doesn't like the new format, tries his best to one up on the panel but fails until Portia gives him a helping hand and gets Chuck to speak his mind on why change is bad.

Carol learns of what Katie is doing and takes matters into her own hands with Diana. After several intelligent and hilarious moments with one another, Diana decides to take the challenge of mentoring Katie, like running a marathon on a full bladder. But later, Carol and Katie understand, and Carol learns from Katie, and she and Greg kiss.

"Boardroom Bitch" is an excellent episode that brought many laughs and memorable scenes from the cast and that includes Tina Fey as Diana. I think that Diana St. Tropez might be one of the best bosses that I've seen since Michael Scott. The writing of this episode was excellent and had some good character growth. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.
