Every returning queen has been eliminated either the episode they come back or the one immediately after, right? (I mean in the same season, Shangela doesn't count.)

She's not even top 4, maybe not even top 5 given that she's been saddled with the Ultimate Drag Race Curse of Michelle Wanting Something More You.

Pretty much. I don't find her runways particularly interesting, she doesn't seem to excel in any of the challenges, and she generally doesn't stand out much to me at all. I can definitely see why she's successful doing Britney in Vegas, but I can't see why she's here on Drag Race. That said, she could probably pull out a surprise and make it into top 4-3 territory, but who knows.

Not surprised to see Naysha go, either. She also felt very EH to me. Also she took off her shoes for the lipsync, I swear that must be an automatic eliminate. I'm pleased that Chi Chi kept her heels on and still outperformed her, I knew she could kill it in a lipsync.

I kind of wish it had been a different Blondie song, but Call Me is so iconic, I'm not surprised.

I loved how Naysha started out doing the flips, and then Chi Chi was like "gently caress that." And she loving brought it.


Though I do believe acrobatics is the new "ripping your wig and dress off."

You got to my post before I could edit it, so I will agree with you and add that in the post-runway workroom chat at the start of the episode, Derrick interprets "soul" as twerking and melisma. Her take on soul is so superficial and misguided, that tells me she won't stretch herself because she doesn't even understand in what way she needs to stretch herself.

Because snatch game. This is like the 3rd week he should've lipsynced but you can't have a professional impersonator on his caliber not make it to snatch game.
He would've gone home on every single one of those too.

I totally agree, I think by the end of this season it's going to be a no-no unless it really fits the song.

YES, I almost forgot about that, but you're totally right. I'm kind of tired of Acid Betty eye rolls, but I was totally with her in that scene. It was a really obnoxious showing from Derrick and I don't think anyone was having it.

Watching the preview for the next episode, is Derrick really going to attempt Shocantelle Brown? Seems like a great way to shoot himself in the foot.

I never thought Bob would get irritated that easily. Refreshing to see that Bob can bring a great look. "How's your head?"

Betty was real meh. I didn't like her shoes. Kind-of faded for me.

Thorgy was great. I really hope she wins another challenge soon! Loved how chatty she was with the opposing team. Such a doll.

Chi Chi BROUGHT THE HOUSE DOWN VERSACE BOOTS. You look over at Naysha doing flips, and Chi Chi is doing it with form, and finesse. So glad she pulled it out, and showed them she wanted to stay.

Poor Derrick. Please put everything you have into next week. I'm afraid you're going Bye Bye Bye.

Naysha is gone :woop:

As for the winning team: Kim Chi's abstract look was absolutely amaze-balls, and I am very surprised no one gave her props for it. drat that was so well executed! I also liked that Kim Chi showed some character in the Maxi challenge, and got into it with the other girls.

Robbie came up for me a few notches. Make sure everything works before you go out on that stage.

Naomi was also good. I felt like this episode made her look like she could stay a few more episodes.

I'm pretty sure Chris Stein's line about the shoes was the best guest-judge comment ever.

Also, Bob and Thorgy at each other's throats feels like watching my parents fight. :ohdear: It is obviously enhanced by the editing in an attempt to create a "rivalry" storyline BUT STILL.

How many times must I remind you to WASH YOUR HANDS?

Betty was super sweet in Untucked this time. Maybe she realized she came in too hot last week or she couldn't keep up the act after ChiChi's moment. She clearly thought she was at risk of lip syncing, too, so kudos for helping out anyway. Her reaction to Thorgy learning the lip sync was pretty funny, too.

Also omigawd Naysha at the end of Untucked. :3: It's only episode 4 and I don't want anyone else to go home, this is going to be painful.


If this had the "bloop!" it would be perfect.

Derrick is just so dull in comparison to everyone else. When you're up against personalities like Bob and Thorgy, or looks like Acid and Kim Chi, you can't just be the pretty queen who is meh. That does not fly this season.

I also feel this way about Naomi. I'm still waiting for her to give a memorable performance or runway look other than "bra + panties + scarf/shawl/skirt."

Unless Naomi turns it out for Snatch Game, she's not long for this competition.

I thought that Naysha writing the note and leaving the outfits for Chi Chi was one of the sweetest things that I've ever seen on Untucked. This whole season, Untucked is showing that the manufactured drama and bitchiness of the show is simply that: manufactured.

I know! If this had been a runway focused challenged, they for sure would have been in the top two. I don't think we've ever seen makeup like theirs on the show before.

Also, Chichi just absolutely slayed on that runway. She has that same messy charisma that Adore has. There is raw talent, and if she had the resources and the confidence, she could go far.

I loved that Naysha left Chichi some outfits.

And Naysha also has such gorgeous handwriting. Mine is like chicken scratches.

I get this funky high on the yellow sun.

The lack of the judges never calling Naomi out on relying solely on her legs has infuriated my wife and I every week when watching. It's just HEY I HAVE LONG LEGS every single time combined with--as someone noted--"bra + panties + X" outfits.

I'm guessing this has to do with editing. They'll step up her criticism as it gets closer to her elimination. She's been safe every week, right?

Aw, Naysha :3:

I have to wonder if it's not just a coincidence that we're seeing such :3: moments on Untucked this season. Granted, this season's queens do seem to gel a lot better, but given that (allegedly) the huge fan backlash against Ginger based on Untucked cost her the crown, it wouldn't surprise me if we're purposely being shown a more positive spin on things this time around. Either way, chill Untucked makes for way better TV.

And holy crap, Thorgy's MJ in that preview. :pray: Please, please let there be no unprepared queens this season. For the love of god.

loving great episode, though I wish we got to see more of the runway looks. What the hell was Kim Chi wearing? poo poo was bonkers and her reaction during judging was great.

Also that was some good cosplay! Acid Betty really nailed Rikuo from Darkstalkers and Chi Chi's Poison was spot on.

At this point I have no idea why you would show up to season 8 of RPDR without

1) having basic sewing and garment construction skills
2) a funny, memorable, and well-rehearsed Snatch Game impersonation
3) being able to put on a got drat SHOW of some kind
