She's got plot armor because she won Season 1 and therefore has to make it top 4-5.

Imo she's been very middle of the pack and resting on CAMEROOON all season.

Anyone else thinking production put Trixie up to hanging that note? It seemed like a very un-Trixie thing to do, and her reactions this episode seemed weighty with the unsaid.

I don't know anything about this site, but they're selling the same set. It's probably kicking around on AliExpress if you're not particular about when it shows up.

- Morgan calling out Ben at the start for being a hypocrite annoyed me. The group had agreed to a set of rules (or at least said they did) and Morgan went out of her way to say NOPE I'M DOING WHATEVER I WANT and then was surprised to get sent home? I don't think it was hypocritical, I think it was the smart move.


It was both absolutely the smart move to get rid of Morgan and absolutely hypocritical of Ben to do so.

Ben says the criteria for the elimination is whoever did the worst, and then sends home someone who didn’t do the worst. Ben may justify it by saying it was in the spirit of making the competition as a whole better and more fair, but she ignored her own criteria and sent home someone for saying they would ignore Ben’s criteria.

I think Morgan just wanted Ben to admit that.

It was very hilarious. Bob and Trixie's chemistry is different than Trixie and Katya, but Bob has incredible one-liners the entire episode.

It was a bit sedate compared to how Trixie and Katya play off of each other but it was really solid and fun all the way through. I really hope Bob comes back off and on; even though the chemistry is different, it's a platform that Bob's voice fits really well.

Thank you so much!! :glomp: I couldn't find it anywhere.

Everyone on Reddit is arguing about (do I still need to use spoiler tags for this ep?) if Ru knew Ben was going to use the white out or not. Honestly, she seemed pretty shook to me, either that or she's a better actress than I thought

Is Bob going to be on the Trixie and Katya show for a while? I heard Katya is taking time away from the show, and drag, and whatnot to focus on mental health stuff.

e: my thought is Ru knew, Ru runs the drat show, but I believe that the other judges didn't. I watched Whatcha Packin with Michelle and Ben and Michelle was convincingly surprised.

Not BenDeLaChrist losing All Stars but defeating the system. I'm glad she chose to go out on the record-breaking note that she did.

The winner of this season is going to be such an afterthought. Fans aren't liking Bebe becoming a frontrunner and Trixie/Shangela/Kennedy are disappointing.

100%

Plus the girls came to no consensus this year. Pretty much everyone but Ben and maybe Trixie seemed to think playing it by the judge's decisions like AS2 was a bad idea and boring.

Five episodes total from what I read, until the end of this season.

Also last night was wild. I was sort of baffled that Ben even made it into the top two again with that lame Baby Jane goth shtick. I thought Trixie killed it.

Willam played the game like an expert, and while I wish she made it to the end and it was a Sharon v Willam knock down drag out finale I have mad respect for her a. not putting up with the producer's poo poo b. using it to her advantage.

If she went out normally she wouldn't be half as famous as she is now.

the real villain of the season is whoever is responsible for ru's wig lines.

seriously the amount of blur around her head this season is some s1 filter poo poo. if it's still delta doing hair, god drat she better work so this sort of nonsense isnt needed

i can see why willam and ben would rub folks the wrong way, but big drastic drama like this is why i enjoy reality tv comps and especially rpdr. its bombastic, scripted poo poo - the WWF of drag!

Disagree, Ben was like a surgeon cutting off a gangrenous finger to save the rest of the limb and let it thrive, sure it sucks for the finger, but left alone that thing would have spoiled everything else going forward and a little presumed injustice felt by the part of the finger is perfectly fine if the intent to treat the other ones fairly going forward after chopping it off.

But who cares about anything in Ru-land anymore now that we have a rich, shiny, catty, nasty drag coffinseller to cheer for?

I mean the analogy only fully works if winning Drag Race matters that much, and ultimately it doesn't really. Dela dropped out in the most sensational way possible and intentional or not, that's gonna help her career just as much as winning the Race would.

I think Bebe threw that Lip Sync, especially since Ru has been so vocal about "Don't remove your wig....unless you have another wig underneath it." after season five. Also, Aja released a new music video which is probably one of the best drag queen music videos ever https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=safM-tI6os0

I felt really bad for Aja. He got a lot of criticism for his looks after his first season, to the point that he got extensive plastic surgery.

Granted, the plastic surgery was very good, subtle enough that I didn't notice until he pointed it out, while simultaneously looking better.

I hate that he went through that though.
