See, I'd believe that if I hadn't heard about Thorgy's after-show at a bar when she said she'd had another outfit prepared, but the producers encouraged her to stick with the kimono. I'd also believe that if I hadn't seen Chi Chi Devayne pull out a fairly good Madonna in the workroom. And Madonna has plenty of casual looks that are iconic to looks towards. The song they covered in this episode, Music, had Madonna in a cowboy hat and blue jeans, Madonna in Lucky Star, or hell, pull a Valentina and do a very good nude illusion for the Sex artwork. It's not rocket science.

I can understand two Material Girls. That's a pretty iconic look and a well-known video. I don't understand two random-rear end red carpet looks. How?? Also I'm still annoyed that no one's done Like a Virgin. That's such a good one!!

Man, after seeing Trinity's and Shea's level of detail, had I been Nina or Peppermint, I would have switched, ESPECIALLY after seeing how expensive both of the other girls' looks turned out. Shea and Trinity were completely right sticking to what they had.

Hmm. Worth to remember that Thorgy had a backup all ready to go on the Night of 1000 Kimonos and production told her to wear the kimono anyway for maximum drama.

shadow puppet of a posted:Forgive me thread for not giving up on this, but... In my opinion the lack of creativity is before you get to the show. If you know there's a Madonna themed challenge, then don't choose the obvious thing (like the kimono). I agree with you that once you're in the workroom you have a hard decision to make. As Tati would say: Choices. It's already been pointed out that they were told to bring back ups and that the producers have been known to interfere so I suppose some of that has to be forgiven for manufactured drama.

Valentina rocked, as usual, though I feel like once she ran out of "I don't win!  " jokes, she had nothing. Sasha, however, finally won me over. Her Dietrich was amazing, and her runway look was, in my opinion, the best Madonna out of both seasons. Between her and Alexis, I feel like Sasha should have won, and Alexis only got it because she made Ru laugh with a passable Liza.Also, unpopular opinion, I was cracking up at Sasha's Judith Butler. But I have years of cultural critical theory under my belt, so v  v.

I really didn't get all the praise for Sasha's Marlene Dietrich. It seemed really bland, though the standard for Snatch Game is "doesn't crash horribly." I felt it was only Farrah's Gigi, Peppermint as Nene, and CLF as Sofia Vergara that were true failures. Everyone else was at least decent though I'd say there weren't as many standouts as past seasons.

A lot of people go WAY over the top in their performance, and that's what we expect. I think Ben probably had a more palatable level of dryness to her Dame Maggie Smith, and I can see why that was a more popular character, I absolutely lost it at her cold, Teutonic flirting.

There are some extra clips on Logo that do more in depth with the duplicates. Basically no one wanted to be the one to change, because they thought it'd turn into a "who wore it better" and they would be the better of the two.

Not that either of them were good. What's the worst overall Snatch Game? I lean towards season 3; the top players weren't great and the bottoms were bland so it didn't even have a train wreck element for entertainment.

Valentina bronzed and contoured her whole body which definitely helped to make it look a lot less cheap. And of course her hair + makeup are as on point as ever e: Bina posted:Can we please have a gif of Peppermint MC Hammering the stage? Not quite what you asked but  e2: vv

You know, I thought that too! But then I remembered Carmen Carrera and Violet Chachki gave great "nude illusion" too. They just have amazing bodies that apparently can tuck like nobody's business.

It also had Willam and her cut out (which got moved to untucked cause drama is way more important) and Sharon's Michelle Visage (which was entertaining mostly because of her interactions with Ru). I feel like the worst snatch game ever was season 8's. Even Bob pulling double the weight couldn't save that train wreck

After it aired Peppermint tweeted "Please let me very clear. I am against gun violence in every way possible! I had to pull out all the stops tonight and I love my girl ❤🏁" which is just so endearing to me. If she doesn't make top 3 she'll have my Miss Congeniality vote for sure. Peppermint was also recently interviewed in HuffPo.

I can't wait for Raja to boot the gently caress out of Aja's bootleg Who's That Girl look - if not for the cheap dress, then for the wig, which was way off. Oh Aja. This Madonna challenge should never be done again.

It was weird and goofy, but it was different enough that I think it would have taken the wind out of the sails of any more straight-faced performance. Like, imagine trying to serve sex pot next to that routine.

Peppermint was just constantly putting out energy energy energy and made it work, instead of just throwing in the robot during a dance break for the gently caress of it like past queens (who were usually then justly eliminated).

Every challenge, every runway, they've either excelled or led the middle of the pack. they're perfect, they're beautiful, they look like models 😍 Has anyone been keeping up with the bonus clips on the logotv site? There have been really good ones every single episode. This week we had a cut drama scene where Nina accused Aja of stealing her makeup... it was good and made me like them both even more!

Shea has this great ability to tell it like it is without sounding like she's lecturing someone. There's a really fine line and she's got it. I loving loved her telling Nina that she's done telling her to be confident in herself and that next time she's gonna whoop her rear end. Also, thinking on it, there are likely to be some fierce LSFYLs in the remainder of the show. I thought Peppermint, Aja, Trinity, and Farrah all had really strong performances. I don't know that I'd put Farrah in the same league as the other 3, but she put on a good performance without any desperation splits or crawling on the floor. Being able to jump and drop into a split is impressive, but timing your motions to the song are sooooo important. That was the standout in the last battle. Peppermint was on time and Cynthia felt like her dance was independent from the music.

I guess I'd say Farrah's lip sync didn't seem desperate in a bad way or in a good way. Watching it again just now, I like it better than I did the first time, but something seems off. Maybe it's concentration I'm seeing on her face, or maybe she's just not that expressive, but whatever it is, it made the overall performance feel kind of low-energy.
