In 2010, Lady Gaga wore a dress made out of meat to the VMAs because she was protesting the military, we think? If that seems far fetched to you, it kind of does to us too. We invite Stefani into the counseling chair in this throwback episode for some head shrinking and style suggestions.

Emily speaks for JLo, Bethany defends JenGarn and kids, and Kaci talks addiction in defense of Ben- but not that nasty back tattoo (sorry Ben).
