I don't think I've seen anyone say it was unfair.

People are just devastated that she hosed up so badly. I think most people thought she was a for sure shoe in for top 3.

Nina left her a letter, which i guess she hasn't done for any of the girls who've left so far.

I think Ru was super pissed. We all thought she'd go to final three, even Ru and the when she did so spectacularly bad on the lip sinc, Ru's hand was forced and she was pissed. I mean come on, taken side by side Valentina is heads and tails better than Nina. Nina should have gone home. But there's no way Ru could have sent her home after Valentina did so awful. If be pissed too. I was hoping it might be a no elimination decision but she couldn't even justify that it was so bad.

I don't know about people having meltdowns, that seems crazy, but I know I'm bummed for sure. But I know she will be the first queen to walk into that work room on All Stars 3. Who else do you think will be on All Stars 3?

Man, that was hard to watch, but I was never really on the Valentina train. I was confused at first, thinking "did she grow a beard overnight?" never once thinking a queen would just not bother to learn the song when it's clear she was in the bottom.

I was expecting the same thing and I would have been completely fine with it. Not only to leave it on for the lip sync but to to fight Ru to leave it on.

EDIT: Ru's send-off line to Valentina was a stone cold knife in the chest. Brutal.

The last time she said that to a queen was Willam at the season 4 reunion. If Val plays her cards right, she'll be more popular than ever after such an iconic elimination-- especially because she failed in a sympathetiv way.

Heard the T weeks back, sad I got sick last night, I was going to go to a viewing party here in Van to see the gay frenzy. I hear at plenty of bars people who knew what was happening straight up gay gasped when she stepped onto the runway in a mask.

Still tired of Rupaul's Group Therapy Race but this episode was great, it brought the drama with Alexis and Pepper and had a good challenge with both well done skits and fun to watch trainwrecks.

Would not be at all surprised if the producers were banking on Val sending Nina home-- her inner saboteur being defeated storyline ain't going anywhere.

e: as much as I wanted to see Val go further, she gave us the most iconic moment we've had on the show this side of season six.

Yeah. I'm sure Phi Phi has done a lot to attempt to fix her problems. She has a lot of darkness and anger in her. And for the most part she has hidden those away.

But when under pressure, her true nature lashes out. She doesn't go to a place of zen. The beast comes out, because she is the beast.

I'm fine with that. Trinity would be the first pageant queen to win since, Tyra? Bebe? Were either of them a pageant queen?

She has totally blown away all of my expectations. Any early cattiness and bitchiness I thought I caught a hint at turned out to be almost entirely one sided from Eureka. And she has proven to be a force to be reckoned with in the acting challenges.

Trinity has grown on me and her pulling out that sick runway look way outside her comfort zone this week sealed the deal trinity will take the crown it is known

If shea steals it I won't be mad, she's been consistently amazing this season and Sasha has been turning out the back half of the season but at this point unless Nina really nails every challenge or alexis pulls up out of her runway slump it's a clear pick for top 3 imo

peppermint is the rogue element this season. i can see her unseating maybe sasha or trinity. shea is probably the one to beat, although i personally think she's been delivering "safe" every week

Trinity/Shea/Peppermint have all completely earned my total love. Sasha is fantastic but just needs that something extra somehow? I think it's just that I really like super-energetic queens and Sasha's a little more laid back.

I genuinely love Nina for and because of all her flaws but I think it's universal at this point that she needs therapy + time/money to reach that next level of polish where Trin/Shea/Pep/Sasha are.

We're not going to talk about Valentina because holy loving poo poo I'm just so loving bitter and etc. etc. :sigh: :smith: :cry:

In my head, I've already classified Eureka as a season 10 girl and nearly forgot she was on this season. But now that I've reminded myself, I can't help but wonder how far she would've made it. She did pretty well in all her challenges and seemed self-aware enough to know when to change her attitude. It's super early, but I think she could win next season and finally break the size barrier.

I don't know. She did have that one sided rivalry with Trinity, simply because Trinity always beat her in pageant competitions.

Man that lipsync was hard to watch... Val deserved to go after that. I would absolutely pay money to see her perform, though, and can't wait to see what she pulls off for the reunion. Nina's makeup is very good and always interesting but I want her to give something totally off the charts like the peach head again, her club kid look disappointed me simply because I expected her to shock me and go really all out and I think she played it safe and didn't have too much going on below the neck.

I've been loving Sasha from the start but I wouldn't mind a Trinity or Shae win at all. Trinity I underestimated pre season but she is hilarious and awesome.

Didn't Nina already do a skull face? Albeit less intense and without the prosthetics, but her look for the lingerie challenge also incorporated that imagery. Don't get me wrong it looked great but stop relying on that skeleton, girl!

I'm kind of meh about Nina now. I loved her at the start, but am starting to get bored with her looks/personality.

In contrast, I hated Valentina at the start and am really disappointed she left so soon. She was one of my favorites this season.

JFC, that might have been even more pathetic than Charlie Hides' lip sync...

Charlie went in knowing he was going to bow out at his first lip sync because that's not his thing.

Valentina was so goddamn overconfident that she didn't even bother learning the song.

I liked Val at the beginning, but week after week of her being Ru's Special Little Girl kinda soured me on her, and I drifted over to Sasha (over-read gay men with shaved heads have to stick together :v:). This kinda confirms the opinion I was keeping to myself to avoid drama. Being given a free ride on the back of a good early showing did her no favors. There were weeks she probably should have been lip syncing before now, but she wasn't, and she hit this week feeling like she could coast to the finale. Hell, she even argued with Ru. You do NOT argue with Ru.

Pretty much this. The season has improved so much with less girls. Still have Group Therapy Race, but at least the girls have been around eachother long enough to give us tiny snippets of other werkroom interaction.

Honestly, the worst part of this season is how little Ru visits the werkroom before a challenge. It's the weirdest feeling thing about this year, and goes hand in hand with mini challenges being gone.
