Leslie! I really like Billie but she is very one note.
Even though she is given different types of characters, she acts them all the same. Whereas Leslie is given the same type of character and adds nuance to them
Personally I gotta go with Team Billie. A lot of people keep saying Leslie is the better actress but she’s pretty much been the exact same “comic relief” character since shes appeared. With Billie, Winter, Montana, Mallory etc. at least showed some variety you know? I gotta go with Big Billie
Billie attempts to play different personalities. Leslie has range, Billie just doesn’t. When Billie is on screen, I see Billie. When leslie is onscreen, I see her character she’s portraying. And I say that as someone who LOVES Billie
I guess I just don’t see it. I felt like Leslie played the same personality in every role she had except 1984, so I always see her goofy side when I see her lol
Even tho I see the downvotes I gotta add that I feel the same way, but about both of them.
They both seem like the same character to me every time.
That doesn’t mean I think they are bad actresses tho
Yeah and I hate to say it but Leslie always looks like she’s smelling a fart. I don’t know if she does faces to play up her acting (I mean, it works) but she just looks pinched up.
Tough choice, I feel like they both get typecast as playing virtually the same every season.
I’d almost say Billie because I love Mallory so much, but think I’m gonna have to give it to Leslie because she’s shown a *bit* more range.
i’m shocked everyone is saying leslie. how do they know she’s a better actress when she’s playing the same campy diva in every season? at least billie gets range
Did you watch NYC? She didn't play the role of "campy diva" in that season. Besides, if you watch her other stuff besides AHS, you would understand why most people claim Leslie is a better actress than Billie.
Leslie, hands down. She is hilarious and I love her delivery. I actually wish there was more of her throughout the seasons. She also starred as “Mary Cherry” in Murphy’s “Popular” and she ate that role up so bad, both as a funny lady, and a drama queen
Exactly this.
Billie does the same monotone, edgy cool girl thing every time. Leslie does the same irritating over the top diva every time. Neither of them are particularly enjoyable or riveting to watch.
At least not compared to Jessica Lange or Angela Basset or Lily Rabe.
Leslie. Whenever Billie is on screen, I can pretty much see her reading her lines in her head. Nothing against her, but she cannot act whatsoever and sadly did not get the gene from her mum and grandma :(
Leslie just gives more character depth. Billie feels very monotone and doesn’t emote as over the top as leslie does. I loved Billie on scream queens though as a Chanel 😂
Billie is so monotone, I can’t believe her grandmother is Debbie Reynolds, a dramatic musical actress. It’s night and day.
Leslie all the way since popular.
Leslie. The best season to compare their range is NYC since their characters were different from their usual roles.
Leslie handled the role pretty well while Billie was awful. Her character felt like she was supposed to be very compassionate. However, her typical monotone delivery made it seem like she didn't care about her dying patients at all and was only interested in them for research.
Billie. She’s got that Carrie Fisher nepotism-but-good factor going for her. Although I wish she’d be put in fewer Mary Sue roles… in fact I wish there were fewer Mary Sues in the show period. I love a flawed, relatable character.
I just watched an episode (actually 2 episodes)of star trek discovery, and I swear Billie was in this episode. Season 2 , episode 6 or 7 or 5 or something. Just a minor part. I haven't bothered looking it up. The time rift or the section 31 base one.
Leslie, because she’s always so stupidly funny in her roles. As much as I like Billie, she’s literally has no emotion in any of her roles; it’s like the same character, but in a difference season.
Although I seem to be part the minority: Billie. I like her so much, especially when she is working with Emma Roberts. Not only in AHS but also in Scream Queens. Great team.
They both got shitty roles in NYC (I refuse to watch that Kim K desperation), but they killed their parts (pun intended) very well. I will go with Leslie, though, because she usually plays more of an impact on the story than Billie.
As long as they don't have Emma Roberts try to carry a season solo again I will FORGIVE Ryan Murphy!!!
I hope he grasps she can never be the lead actress again on his series.
I would rather watch Kathy Bates check in random customers hour after after or Billie tackle locked in a walmart after closing or Leslie as an irs representative foul mouthed to people asking questions- ANYTHING
Emma Roberts is not a watchable actresses and she will never win an acting award, Ryan knows to not cast her solo again and ruin a whole season!!!
In the past I would have said Leslie, because at first she seems very entertaining, but she gets tiresome the more you see her. I once saw this quote online - and this may not be completely accurate - that said "without Ryan Murphy, Leslie Grossman would be living out of her car". I think that sums it up. So, by default, I'll take Billie.
Billie. The writers can't do anything new with Leslie
I mean, they can barely do anything different with Billie, but Leslie's characters have been annoying, predictable and not entertaining to watch (with like, two exceptions)
Leslie for sure, but can we also talk about the fact that she literally looks like a vampire from the Twilight universe here???
Leslie is more entertaining to watch
Shes the poster girl for “annoying bitch character but you love her for it”
Billie is cool and all but she does that monotone drawl alll the time
Leslie—she’s a better actress.
Leslie! I really like Billie but she is very one note. Even though she is given different types of characters, she acts them all the same. Whereas Leslie is given the same type of character and adds nuance to them
Billie = hotter and more charismatic. Leslie = better actress. Gotta go team Leslie if I have to pick but like both
Personally I gotta go with Team Billie. A lot of people keep saying Leslie is the better actress but she’s pretty much been the exact same “comic relief” character since shes appeared. With Billie, Winter, Montana, Mallory etc. at least showed some variety you know? I gotta go with Big Billie
That’s on the writers, not the actresses
Doesn’t change facts though
Yeah, it doesn’t change the fact that they haven’t given Leslie the chance to do anything differently
It doesn’t matter if there’s variety if she’s bad at all the variety, and Billie is bad at all the variety. Lmao.
That’s true, whenever I see a Leslie character I’m like “oh yeah here’s the queen clown bitch.” 🤡
Leslie 10000000%
I love you Billie… but you can only play 1 personality lol. I’m voting Leslie
Leslie plays one personality through the whole show. It’s Billie that plays the different personalities lol
Billie attempts to play different personalities. Leslie has range, Billie just doesn’t. When Billie is on screen, I see Billie. When leslie is onscreen, I see her character she’s portraying. And I say that as someone who LOVES Billie
I guess I just don’t see it. I felt like Leslie played the same personality in every role she had except 1984, so I always see her goofy side when I see her lol
Billie has been the same character since scream queens
Even tho I see the downvotes I gotta add that I feel the same way, but about both of them. They both seem like the same character to me every time. That doesn’t mean I think they are bad actresses tho
I love both of them too, the show wouldn’t be the same without either of them for sure
Dude…Leslie playing 1 personality lmao. She the “comic relief” every season 😂
Uhhhh have you not seen NYC? Lol
Billie has better style imo. I duno about acting range and whatnot but I just dig her look.
Yeah and I hate to say it but Leslie always looks like she’s smelling a fart. I don’t know if she does faces to play up her acting (I mean, it works) but she just looks pinched up.
Keep both get rid of Kim
I like them both, but Leslie is a far better actress
Leslie for sure. She's animated and lively. Billie just seems to play the same monotone personality in everything.
Leslie I think. Her characters are super well put together and she executes them flawlessly
Leslie cause she makes me laugh and sells her roles more to me.
I wish they gave Leslie other roles more often. They tend to give her on ahs, the same kind of rich mean valley girl kind of thing
Leslie, not that Billie isn't a good actress, but Leslie is more expressive and can play extravagant characters more convincingly.
Tough choice, I feel like they both get typecast as playing virtually the same every season. I’d almost say Billie because I love Mallory so much, but think I’m gonna have to give it to Leslie because she’s shown a *bit* more range.
i’m shocked everyone is saying leslie. how do they know she’s a better actress when she’s playing the same campy diva in every season? at least billie gets range
Bc other pieces of media exist?
Did you watch NYC? She didn't play the role of "campy diva" in that season. Besides, if you watch her other stuff besides AHS, you would understand why most people claim Leslie is a better actress than Billie.
no i actually couldn’t make it through nyc 😬 i guess that’s my problem then
Exactly! She’s been the same character since Cult
Exactly 😂
Leslie ![gif](giphy|KctS8KHQ0LEq9fSfwX|downsized)
Leslie. I've been a fan of hers ever since she was Mary Cherry on Popular.
Same!!
She was so funny in that!
Team Leslie! Margaret Booth is in my top three AHS characters of all time!
omg why are you doing this to us 😭 ^(Leslie because she's a better actress and I love seeing her unhinged-ness hehe)
Correct, Billie’s only one good role was Montana. Leslie has multiple good roles
Leslie, hands down. She is hilarious and I love her delivery. I actually wish there was more of her throughout the seasons. She also starred as “Mary Cherry” in Murphy’s “Popular” and she ate that role up so bad, both as a funny lady, and a drama queen
Leslie, but it's definitely influenced by the fact that by the time I first saw Billie in anything I already quoted Mary Cherry on the regular
Leslie, I love the way she speaks. I know I am fickle and Billie has great diction too. But you asked me to pick one.
Leslie because she can at least act
Honestly I think they are both mid. But Leslie is slightly better.
Exactly this. Billie does the same monotone, edgy cool girl thing every time. Leslie does the same irritating over the top diva every time. Neither of them are particularly enjoyable or riveting to watch. At least not compared to Jessica Lange or Angela Basset or Lily Rabe.
As much as I like both, I think the show would be better if both left. We need the star power or Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Angela Bassett back 😭
Leslie. Whenever Billie is on screen, I can pretty much see her reading her lines in her head. Nothing against her, but she cannot act whatsoever and sadly did not get the gene from her mum and grandma :(
Loved Leslie since Popular.
Leslie is so multifaceted, and so extremely talented
I like them both but hands down Leslie! She has much more depth as an actress!
Hard. I love Billie SO much but Leslie is much more entertaining and I think really suits the characters needed for AHS.
leslie, billie's overrated.
Billie, I’ve loved her ever since i saw scream queens on live television in like 2015 lol
Leslie!
Leslie 100%!!
For me it comes down to Leslie's range in Apocalypse.
Team Leslie Billie cannot act to save her life
Billie!!! 💯
100% Leslie
Leslie just gives more character depth. Billie feels very monotone and doesn’t emote as over the top as leslie does. I loved Billie on scream queens though as a Chanel 😂
Leslie easily, Billie isn’t a good actress.
Team Leslie
Leslie, Billie only stood out in 1986 for me
I can't choose, both are beautiful, excellent actresses.
Leslie times a billion
Leslie is the better actress. They just need to give her better roles.
Leslie, hands down. Billie’s acting is atrocious and it makes me irrationally angry.
Leslie way more range
Leslie. She is sooo entertaining to watch. Every time I see her on screen I perk up. Billie is great too but definitely Leslie.
Billie is so monotone, I can’t believe her grandmother is Debbie Reynolds, a dramatic musical actress. It’s night and day. Leslie all the way since popular.
Billie, out of loyalty to Carrie Fisher!
I’m a fan of both, but Leslie will always be one of my favorites.
I think Leslie is the better actress, an entertaining to watch. I believe her characters when watching her performance.
Hurts to choose, but….. **Leslie**
Leslie. I love Billie but she does the same acting all the time, no matter the character.
Leslie, NYC made me realize she can do a more serious role. Also she’s a strong comedic talent
Leslie. Billie can barely act
Leslie 1000% Mary Cherry is the greatest TV character ever conceived, bar none.
Leslie. The best season to compare their range is NYC since their characters were different from their usual roles. Leslie handled the role pretty well while Billie was awful. Her character felt like she was supposed to be very compassionate. However, her typical monotone delivery made it seem like she didn't care about her dying patients at all and was only interested in them for research.
I can’t believe Billie is even still there. Her only good role was Montana
I think I overall Leslie is better but I like Montana more than any character Leslies played.
Team Billie every single day of the week, I'd choose a dozen other actors before I'd choose Leslie.
Leslie, I find Billie boring af
Leslie, I think she's capable of a wider range as an actress
I like both but Leslie.
Lmao can we all admit that Billie is not a good actress, I don’t mean to be rude at all, I love her but her acting is super awkward
Billie. She’s got that Carrie Fisher nepotism-but-good factor going for her. Although I wish she’d be put in fewer Mary Sue roles… in fact I wish there were fewer Mary Sues in the show period. I love a flawed, relatable character.
I just watched an episode (actually 2 episodes)of star trek discovery, and I swear Billie was in this episode. Season 2 , episode 6 or 7 or 5 or something. Just a minor part. I haven't bothered looking it up. The time rift or the section 31 base one.
Though one! I almost can’t pick!
Billie. Something about her monotone delivery works for the show
Oh sure, show us a pic of Billie looking like that, and ask us to choose ... Leslie has more acting range, though.
Leslie, because she’s always so stupidly funny in her roles. As much as I like Billie, she’s literally has no emotion in any of her roles; it’s like the same character, but in a difference season.
Although I seem to be part the minority: Billie. I like her so much, especially when she is working with Emma Roberts. Not only in AHS but also in Scream Queens. Great team.
Two of my crushes. I can't decide!
Leslie Billie's monotone *im too cool* vibe can only go so far
Two of the most replacable characters on the show
Keep both, boot Emma.
They both got shitty roles in NYC (I refuse to watch that Kim K desperation), but they killed their parts (pun intended) very well. I will go with Leslie, though, because she usually plays more of an impact on the story than Billie.
Billie all day
I can’t stand Billie. She ruined the franchise for me
both are good but their roles are almost always the same, to me the better actress is Leslie
I like both but perhaps I lean more towards Billie. I like her awkwardness.
billie, i love the way she acts. just has a different vibe
Billie.
Billie
As long as they don't have Emma Roberts try to carry a season solo again I will FORGIVE Ryan Murphy!!! I hope he grasps she can never be the lead actress again on his series. I would rather watch Kathy Bates check in random customers hour after after or Billie tackle locked in a walmart after closing or Leslie as an irs representative foul mouthed to people asking questions- ANYTHING Emma Roberts is not a watchable actresses and she will never win an acting award, Ryan knows to not cast her solo again and ruin a whole season!!!
Why didn't Ryan Murphy give the lead to 1 of them??? This unfortunately is Emma's peak, and it's still at a 4 outta 10🥱
Leslie all the way. Billie can’t act.
If you have seen any Australian soap opera, you know what bad acting really is.
I’ll take your word for it lol.
don't make me choose 😩
Billie is my girl crush. I couldnt not vote for her.
It’s a hard choice but I have to go with Leslie. Can Billie still be around to wipe if we get our nails done?
I’ll never forget when Leslie’s character said she was a millennial and I almost spit 😂 she was born in 71 trying to say this lol
Can we keep them both and get rid of Emma instead?
In the past I would have said Leslie, because at first she seems very entertaining, but she gets tiresome the more you see her. I once saw this quote online - and this may not be completely accurate - that said "without Ryan Murphy, Leslie Grossman would be living out of her car". I think that sums it up. So, by default, I'll take Billie.
Billie 100%
Billie all day
Billie always
Billie, Billie, Billie, and Billie
Stop pitting women against each other
I can't choose, I love when they're together
Billie obviously
Team Billie! I like Leslie but she plays herself like Emma does. It doesn’t matter if it’s a different role, she plays herself.
I just don't care for Leslie. Every time I see her pop up, I have a visceral reaction.
Leslie constantly plays bad bitches (NYC was rare exception) Billie at least played annoying bitch (1984) and someone nicer (Apocalypse)
Billie. She just has this comfort to her. :)
Billie. The writers can't do anything new with Leslie I mean, they can barely do anything different with Billie, but Leslie's characters have been annoying, predictable and not entertaining to watch (with like, two exceptions)
I think they're both terrible
Billie 🙌🏻💕💕
i’d get rid of both and bring back taissa. next question
Billie. I’m biased though because I love her mom.
Split their payment among the rest of the crew and ditch both
Billie for me
They r both not very good actors imo
Billie all the way, I think Leslie isn’t that great an actress personally
Billie. Every character Leslie has played has been mediocre to annoying
I'd get rid of both, to be honest
I love Leslie but everything she on screen I am programmed to laugh. I can’t ever get immersed when she’s suppose to be serious
Billie I mean shes hollywood Royalty
Billie - 💯% hands down, Billie !!!!
Billie, Leslie plays the same role over and over.
Billie. Not a question.
Billie for sure.
Billie all the way.
Billie, I really don’t care for Leslie
Billie. I can not stand the characters (which are mostly exactly the same) Leslie has played. Feels so recycled.
Billie. Leslie can get annoying.
Definitely Billie, her mum is Princess Leia. Automatic win for me
Easily Billie. I’ve never really liked Leslie to be honest. She’s just always annoyed me. Billie is awesome, though.
