Who are these people and who dresses them. What a freak show. Queen Latifiah looked great and is a talent, and maybe two or three others ok. The rest ugh!!

I have no idea who half these people are. And one doesn't even have a name, so I guess TV Insider doesn't know who she is, either.
Also, one of the "non-blondes" actually is... blonde.
