Katya would be wonderful, but I have to wonder if she might be there in more of an advisory capacity, given her new YouTube show. I was actually pretty surprised she didn't feature in episode 101 of all things.

Shangela's return is just funnier as a silly threat than I fear it could be if she actually came back.

Because I can't stop with this post, what the gently caress are these lip-synchs? I'm sad to see Laila go, but fuuuck, this is two weeks in a row with these uninspiring wastes on LSFYL.

Like a few of you, the whole LSFYL I was thinking "Jesus just send em both packing". There are a handful of songs that every self-respecting queen should have a routine worked out for.

Oh, and Bettie is a real Conniving, Unbelievable, Nasty, Turd. Okay, I fell down on the T, but the real T is that I can't wait for her to fall hard on her giant loving face. If Chi-Chi or Thorgy could be the one to do it, so much the better.

No one speaking up about her being "a team player" was also pretty irritating, but those situations can really go either way, I guess.

I'm going to dissent and say that I thought it came off as a pre-planned reality show stunt.

I'm definitely not bitter because despite being obviously depicted as filler my favs both got sashay'd away before their time :qq:

Where are you watching that it finishes that early? We were still waiting for the announcement of the bottom two. (Not that I'm complaining, just curious.)

That was an excellent musical number, so much better than what Lucious puts together.

Naysha's flight deck marshall dancing and toga party seamstressing would be a total waste to bring back as she is right back out should either talent be part of the next main challenge.

Naomi did a gorgeous runway this week but I think if she lasts much longer she's going to get Stop Relying On That Body from Michelle, since she hasn't really stood out to me otherwise apart from her legs that don't quit.

Loving Chi Chi! She deserved that one.

Also loving Kim Chi. How she stomps out onto the runway like a linebacker, a full head taller than the other queens and gives a bashful laugh when she talks. What was it she said, probably misquoting - "I just want to feel like I'm a nymph from a cherry blossom tree who floated down to party with all the forest people." Girl, you are. You are.

Yeah, oh my god, that lip sync was terrible. Every time the camera panned to Michelle's face like :| I just cracked up because I figured she was going to read them to filth over it. Dax, WTF, "disco's not really my genre", come on! Have you never even been to a karaoke bar, how do you not know the words to this song? Also I do not want to ever see another queen rip her dress off unless she has Courtney Act's butterfly wedding nude bodysuit on underneath. That was not a good move.

At least that's better than bringing back a queen who was already on the show. Plus, you've got INSTANT villain heat from whomever shows up.

Sad that Dax was eliminated. I wanted to see more from her, I love a geeky queen. But she seemed to be like the Comic Con version of a pageant queen: all look and no play.

I loved Dax's nerd schtick, and wish she had more opportunities to show it off — but you really can't wait for the show to give you chances to show off your schtick. You gotta really shove it in there at all times (see Bob constantly cracking wise, Derrick immediately doing Britney repeatedly) and always be ready for a lip sync just in case (in the Queens' Commentary last week Violet revealed she always built tearaways and other gimmicks into her outfit just in case, if either of the queens had something like that up their sleeves/dresses that might have made the differen — haha just kidding, Ru had this planned all along so he could bring someone back and cause :frogsiren:drama:frogsiren:).

I want Shangela to come back after that. THAT song, and Layla strutting her hog body around. "No."

That Lipsync was poo poo. Grats to Michelle and Ru for making that decision.

I AM SO HAPPY KIM CHI MADE IT and I am also proud of her for voicing that she was a virgin I bet you her social media is going to blow the gently caress up since that.

Chi Chi did really well, I didn't like the runway look.

Bob should have had a fuller and larger afro. SHE ALL READAHH HAD HERSESAHHHHH

Robbie really turned it out this week. The performance was actually memorable and funny. That dress tho...Woof.

Bettie being salty as always.

Cynthia shouldn't have been safe. I felt she was bottom two material. :(

Thorgy is genuinely sweet and honest. I want to see her make top two at least. SPILL ALL THE NYC TEA

Naomi had rear end for days during the performance. Loved that look. Need to see more from her, else I will get bored quick.

Britney was serving High School musical for me, and the runway look was a bedazzled piece of poo poo, especially with that hair and those shoes. It was a mess.

Layla looked like hell. Dress needed to be yanked around her, instead of looking like a sparkly green sack of potatoes.

Dax looked like mother of the bride, and that hem line was a big NO NO. We're season 8, not Season 2.

Anyone else notice Michelle is thin?

Disasterrific.
I was feeling that episode so much. And some of those acapella arrangements of songs got to me more than the originals.

The ending ruined it a bit. I didn't like how the lipsync results were telegraphed before it even started. That's not cute. If the editors can make Katya teleport in Untucked, and Max show up immediately before "She Already Done Had Herses" in the episode after she was eliminated, why you gotta tell me the ending of the lipsync for your life before it begins?

I noticed that the bottom 2 had home-made dresses. So did Chi Chi, but at least she really brought it to the challenge.

Nothing wrong with home-made, but you've got to have it punched the gently caress up. A Simplicity pattern dress is not going to cut it. If you know you're going to be on Drag Race, advertise the gently caress on Craigslist and find a god damned costume seamstress, not a home sewing person.

Reddit HATES her.
As far as I can tell she's a basic queen with a following of teenage fans she likes to sic on other people's social media.
Back when Tyra had her suicide fiasco on twitter she started the hashtag #BlockedByTyra for example.
Her fans also nagged WoW about the Transformations video she filmed with JSJ which resulted in the shortest episode yet.

tl;dr: Pretty but basic and obnoxious.

Kim Chi needs to work on her confidence. She's like the one cute guy this season. But I get it, the inner fatty never truly dies, no matter how in shape you get.

I wasn't impressed by Thorgy last week, and in fact found her kind of annoying, but this was Thorgy's challenge. She absolutely killed it.

But Ru loves a ghetto queen. We've seen it time after time. If you do a ghetto queen even half-assed competently, Ru just gobbles it up. Don't get me wrong, Chichi did well, but Thorgy deserved the win.

She's an interesting follow in Instagram but yeah, she's not nearly as polished as a lot of other queens.

I've also been thinking it over a bit about the Acid Betty T. Do you think if she gets eliminated for the reasons being mentioned through the grapevine that Ru may also bring an earlier eliminated queen back? I'd really like to see how this all turns out.

This season is awesome!

If the person coming back isn't Shangela in a bigger, fancier box I will throw things.

I like Betty's looks; I appreciate a queen who embraces an avant-garde aesthetic. But her personality (and to be honest, the editing of the show, too) is just exceedingly mean and awful. I found Thorgy's comment of Betty not performing that much because people don't want to deal with her attitude and diva-ness to be pretty interesting and revealing. Betty's a good villain, up until a certain point in the season. The "I am just so loving rude to everyone" schtick wears thin pretty loving quickly.

Kind of hoping that the ex's Facebook spoiler turns out to be true.

Yeah, I love her looks - she was absolutely a favorite going into the show from having seen her Instagram. I'm still kind of hoping she gets to be Top 3, her looks make her Top 3 material imo, regardless of her attitude. I agree with you about Thorgy's comment, and I don't think Thorgy seems like the type to make that up. Maybe Betty will have a character arc where she learns to be less of a villain?

I definitely don't hope the FB thing is true, it's too awful.

I also don't want to see one of the queens I am rooting for go down in history for being an abusive rear end in a top hat. On the other hand, I would like to see Betty be sent home for Ru not putting up with that, and giving Betty the chance at being a winner. Winners don't beat people up.

Apparently there is a interview with Trixie going around where even she is aware that Betty is a douche.

Betty even said in MTQ that no one is rooting for her, and didn't seem bothered at all.
