Olivia says she loves quizzes with adorable straight A student energy. It’s a new day in the work room and Symone is feeling great! As she should be! Always! She’s feeling so good she tries to stir up some drama by asking who’s surprised to still be there, but no one takes the bait. Olivia refuses to drop her smile as she insists she has no hard feelings against the queens for saying she should go home.
