To be honest, I doubt half the queens there could do a good I Will Survive and am super bummed about how staged that whole shocking elimination was.

My top 3 prediction is Bob, Derrick and Naomi. Kim Chi's gonna leave fifth because you can tell they're giving her the kind of Katya "I lack confidence in myself" edit which will lead to a realization but then a fall to the bottom two where she'll be beaten by a good dancer. Then she'll win Miss Congeniality.

I totally can see that happening to Kim Chi but I just don't see Derrick or Naomi in the top 3 at this point. Derrick has already demonstrated that she can't design or construct a garment, she faded into the background in the dance competition, and she's not doing anything to push the boundaries or be really memorable. Can she sing, act, or make me laugh? Naomi is gorgeous but had a really weak look last week, I don't know if she has other hidden talents we have yet to see but she isn't coming off as a big personality either and I think given the other queens, she'll need to be to get the spotlight.

Yeah I expect Derrick and Naomi will get read by the judges (especially Michelle) for resting on Britney/body in the next couple episodes.

Apparently Derrick can sing. I was listening to Jonny McGovern's podcast The Gayest of All Time (formerly Gay Pimpin') today, and the gang all went to the premiere party. They were saying that each the queens got to do a number, and Derrick shocked everyone by coming out and singing live.

They also said that Acid Betty's track kept on skipping, so she finally just shouted "gently caress it!" and stomped off stage without doing her number.

Last week's commentary in general, and this bit in particular, really made me appreciate Violet more. In some ways, one episode of her chatting with Raja gave me a better sense of what she's about than all of season 7 did.

I'm surprised how much I'm liking Cynthia and Chi Chi already, I totally didn't expect much out of them but they're both really charming! Cynthia especially, I think if she doesn't make top 3 she'll be a great candidate for Miss Congeniality. I'm also loving how insightful Bob is in during her talking head bits, and the way she's totally running the show in Untucked.

I'm not shocked that Layla left, she was giving me serious Hot Topic teen goth vibes and that just doesn't stand out anymore. Seeing her cry when she left was so heart wrenching, though :( I would have liked to see more of what Dax could give, but she wasn't really...bringing it at all, especially during the lip synch. I think Robbie and Naomi may not be long for RPDR, since they're already fading into the background and I'm not sure what more Naomi can do other than be gorgeous (but she is SO beautiful).

Did anyone else notice that Naomi wore the same shoes from her intro on the runway this ep?

This season is weird for me so far: I love Kim Chi almost based on looks alone (okay she's also a TOTAL sweetheart and that's coming through in Untucked) and Thorgy Thor for completely the opposite reasons. Either way, it's a MASSIVE improvement on last season. I love an unrepentent bitch, so I'm excited for Acid Betty. I've also enjoyed the show a whole lot more now that I've started ignoring Reddit and Twitter.

Yeah I liked Layla and would have liked to see her grow a bit in response to the competition. However, this season is so jammed with talent that there's just not room for someone who's not already pretty drat near the top of their game.

Agree with you 100%!

I liked Thorgy in the short "Meet the Queens" video, there was a acerbic spunkiness to her, and she's one of the best in the talking head segments. Bob reigns supreme, though.

Robbie's talking head moments are what's keeping her in this for me. She's not a wow on the runway, I'm waiting for her to change up her look somewhat. The wigs need some loving WORK.

At this point, my top three are:

Bob
Kim Chi
Chi Chi

The three of them represent different facets of drag: with Bob being the comedy queen, Kim Chi being the makeup goddess (plus the sweetness!), and Chi Chi being gorgeous and with the plucky Southern poor back story. I'd honestly be happy with any one of them winning, at this point (I'm sure that the rest of the season will change my feelings). But, I want Bob to take the prize.

Very surprised about Kim Chi's confession. I thought she and Trixie woulda hosed kai-kai'd by now. That said, she may be the sweetest queen to ever grace the RPDR runway. Even moreso than Joslyn. The way she pep-talked both bottom girls felt completely genuine, like she's that supportive all the time.

Sad to see Dax leaving so early -- both of them really, but Layla was totally right about shining in a room full of stars. This season is jam-packed with talent and personality, that failing to make a huge impression right away is a death sentence.

As kind and sweet as Kim Chi is, her inability to walk a runway should see her gone pretty soon after the fodder is swept out and rightly so. She's missing the single most basic element of a runway-centric show.

I hope we get a cute workroom scene of one of the other girls teaching her how to stomp the runway. :3: If I'm not mistaken from the promos she gets at least as far as the makeover challenge, so she's here to stay at least for a little while.

I'm waiting for the exact moment when Bob breaks down, takes Cynthia aside and explains to her that relying on a single catchphrase (if not catchphrases in general) is lazy comedy writing.

'cucu' will last through the show and well into its post-show use in drag song parody. "Lets have a cucu" & "This boy has a cucu" will shoot straight to the top of the bottom of the charts.

She's totally adorable, but I see her leaving before final 4. The looks are what's going to get her kicked off. She's pretty and adorable and funny, but she's aesthetically (thus far) all pageant.

That just raises the speculation to even higher levels. COME ON, SHANGELA! It'd be loving hilarious.

I guess since this is a thing, my list with brief comments just going on performances so far:

Yes, GAWD tier Almost certainly top-3

Bob the Drag Queen. Hilarious, real (not bitchy), can put together a solid look. Current hostess of Untucked.
Kim Chi. I think this second episode was her 'Nam. She made it through two dance/choreography challenges and got read for her runway walk, but wasn't in the bottom two. If she practices her runway stomp she'll be fine, if not she deserves to go home before top three.
Acid Betty. Unless she's a perpetrator of domestic abuse or snaps on the judges or other queens. I guess Reddit rumor is she's out fifth episode, but setting aside speculation on drama her looks are loving phenomenal and her performances have been solid.

Ohkurrrrrrr tier Top 3 contenders, in rough order.

Chi Chi DeVayne. Ru loves a ghetto queen. Chi Chi seems like a strong underdog favorite, charming personality and impressive dance moves, her weakness will probably be turning out "couture" on the runway due to being a thrift store queen.
Thorgy Thor. Sincere and largely a sweetheart. Funny, but not really a comedian like Bob so far. I feel like she's solidly in the middle of the pack and I'm waiting to be impressed.
Derrick Berry. Disappointed in her runways and not a standout in challenges. Bring more than Britney ASAP or bye.
Cynthia Lee Fontaine. The cucu line was way too heavy in the first episode but I think she only used it once in the second? Hilarious, sweetheart, but haven't been impressed by her runways or performances. Might pull something out but I feel like she's a long shot for top 3.

Bye Felecia tier Step up or sashay away.

Naomi Smalls. Stop relying on that body. Comes across as kind of bitchy, her runway is all about showing off THEM LEGS but she's competing against the looks of Acid Betty, Kim Chi, and others this season. Show me something other than bodyodyody or get out.
Robbie Turner. Confessional queen. Her first runway was total garbage and could've easily had her lip synching if not for her ok photoshoot, second runway was ok. Performances unremarkable Show me a talent.
