2018 Power Rankings, 5/2

Today’s theme for Power Rankings is quite obvious, and I figured I’d keep it light in what is a hectic week of May. I was just down in Orlando getting some BOBA Mimosas, which really hyped the group chat up this morning, so I’m feeling slightly sassy. I’m just keeping it fun out here. Here’s…
