She didn't get a raw deal. She shot herself in the foot. Aja got Amy Winehouse. Amy isn't known for any signature dance moves or really even a diva and she made it work. Thorgy got her diva and immediately said "oh man, i'm going to fail. There's no way I can make this work." And so she didn't make it work.

i definitely think she got a raw deal in the song element; her parts were incredibly dull and she was given no zingers to deliver at all.

but she should have pulled it out for her costume and gone to town on the personality. sneeze coke at the judges. do witchy hexx stuff. go to town on theatrics.

god drat i thought thorgy was boring beforehand and sure still do. if she had gotten the julie andrews rap she still would have been in the bottom. if she gave a dang about being the best in the comp she'd cut those dreads off but instead we get a litany of excuses and complaints. thorgy was never gonna make it more than four episodes into this comp and as predicted, here we are!

How the gently caress do you not rock being Stevie Nicks? She's pretty distinctive and could have pushed it to have a comedic witchcraft angle.

Maybe I just want to be Stevie Nicks and I'm jealous..

So hang on...they knew in advance which Diva to plan for so they could bring the right outfit, correct? If this is the case, then how the gently caress do you bitch about who you got when you had PLENTY OF TIME to figure out how to loving slay it?

Ugh...glad she's gone.

In unrelated newws my 72 year old Fairly Conservative, Midwest born and raised mother has started watching. She is confused if she should call them he or she, but she is enjoying the show at least. Comment from the first episode: "Those guys were doing things with their body (dead drops) that I didn't think men could do!"

They knew the outfits, but not the challenge. Though they would have had to be pretty stupid to not realize Diva themed outfits would end up being for a HERstory-type challenge.

I like the idea of the coke powder gag. That would have been hilarious. I mean, for the most part, Thorgie had the look. Soften up the makeup and shorten the wig a bit, but it was fine. Who cares about the lyrics of the song? They don't make your performance.

Edit: For content, spoilered in case anyone hasn't seen the preview: I love the idea of another improv challenge outside of the snatch game. Based on the theme and the Bitchelor looks that they showed, I bet BenDeLaCreme is going to slay on this one too. Bebe and Milk will probably struggle though.

Theory: I think this is the acting challenge not the improv, one of the judges says something to Trixie about having her lines stepped on, and the guests are from the cast of UnReal, which starts up in a few weeks too.

I have to say, I wasn't feeling Ben during the casting announcements but there was a moment during the Julie Andrews verse where I just saw the look on her face and that look said, "loving professional."

Weird question but did the cuts feel stranger this episode? I didn't look up who directed the ep but I don't recall ever seeing a shot of the back of Ru facing the judges until last night.

I guarantee you Milk just watched the episode and still thinks she should be in the top 2. Kick rocks.

EDIT: Chi Chi being fully aware of not being up to task is saddddddddd, but I thought going in for the nipple was the move that saved her. Ballsy move.

BeBe getting slotted as safe this week only through Ru-charity for wanting to keep her around longer so she can crawl out of the S1 tour income gap. More acting challenges please to speed her way out the door.

Milk's narcissism should be distilled, atomized and applied as a clear coat to luxury goods.

And that Lorde song is poo poo.

It's only an avatar if the Cubs get swept.
There’s the Aja I remember from last year!

I’m curious if Ben is trying to win the lip synch or not. If she keeps at the top, but isn’t the one directly booting queens, in a weird way it kind of takes the heat off of her. However, it’s also creating a huge target because she’s now 3/3 (4/4 if you include the library).

Shhh... don't wake up the sleeping lion :3:

The milk has been spilt. All is well in the world.

I didn't think BeBe's was as bad as people think, her schtick was creative, it clicked immediately and was entertaining enough in her introduction scene. But it's hard to make "shy virgin girl" stand out when your partner is a shameless hungry cougar.

Trixie totally would have been in the top 2 if it weren't for Milk, if only because the producers would've wanted to mix things up a little.

Dear Prudence

Hooooooly smokes I can't believe how loving delusional Milk is. "I thought Trixie and I had a great back and forth." Wow wow wow. I am so loving glad she got tossed into the bottom. For her to say she's shocked is ridiculous. She's not living on this planet. And when she came out on the runway my first thought was "I thought Thorgie got sent home last episode." Tell me she didn't look dead on as Thorgie. Even had the wide open mouth smile.

Chi-chi made me so sad. Believe you're worth it, gurl. You are fierce! She has so much talent but it's like she doesn't know how to let her creativity take over.

I was so mad for Trixie. Only thing that stopped her from getting top was loud mouth Milk, who looked like absolute trash. But Trixie looked great and I laughed at the jokes she dis land. Especially her calling him Jason. I mean Jared.

Aja's runway look was super good so I wasn't worried about her going home. Her interpretation of needy was way off base, but I mean, she committed to her character so big ups for that I guess. Haha!

Kennedy was so hilarious as the party girl. When she took out the vodka bottle I laughed so hard I had a choking fit. And then the wig. Oh my god. I didn't realize she could be so funny. Like Ross Matthews said, why don't I know she's a comedy queen?

I'm glad Kennedy made the decision she did. And we all knew that's who she would choose.

I loved Michelle Visage's look on the panel. I did for a good rockabilly look and she glamed it up so good.

All their jokes during Shangela's walk had me dying. G-M-Oh no she didn't!

Ah in any case this was a good episode and I'm happy with the results.

Cool, now everyone who's left is either my favorite from their season or close to favorite. Gonna be hard to pick who I want to win most, but so far BenDeLa's been running circles around everyone. Sure, she's sort of been handed perfect roles, but she's definitely earned her wins. Ben, Shangela, and Trixie would probably be my top 3.

Random stuff:
  • I really hope the BeBe conspiracy theory is true.
  • Aja's made so much progress, especially considering how little time she had after her season. Maybe not yet enough to win, but incredibly impressive.
  • My heart breaks for Chi Chi. I hope she can overcome her inner saboteur, because she's so full of potential.
  • I want to know if the main impetus for the Rudemption runway was that Kennedy was on, but either way she (and Shangela) gave me life.
  • Milk turned into Laganja, holy hell.
