So, best lipsync assassin of each season?

S1: Akashia?, Bebe?
S2: Jujubee
S3: Alexis
S4: I think Dida had the single strongest lipsync, but Latrice beats her overall
S5: Alyssa beats out Coco for me
S6: Darienne, maybe the 2nd best all-time
S7: Kennedy
S8: ChiChi
S9: Peppermint, best all-time
S10: Kameron has the best record but the only one I thought was phenomenal was the first against Eureka, likewise Monet had a great first lipsync but a mediocre second one, Vixen maybe?, Asia?, Aquaria? really not sure on this one

Agreed with pretty much all; seasons 3, 6, and 10 are the only ones I'd say are contentious because they all had so many phenomenal lipsyncers. Like, 3 had Alexis, sure, but also Manilla and Delta loving killed it. Darienne was amazing in 6, but Adore killed it in every lipsync and Dela is a terrifying contestant, and that's not even getting into Trinity K motherfuckin' Bonet. Then 10, jesus christ. Kameron, Vixen, Asia, and Aquaria were all outstanding.

Hilariously, even though Kennedy was the 'assassin' of season 7, Pearl of all people won the most lipsyncs

Also Juju is probably second best of all time. She could beat Latrice at soul, she could beat Dela at camp, she literally never lost a lipsync.

Ongina for S1 and Juju for best all time imo.

e: also agreed with how contentious some seasons are w/r/t having a bunch of amazing lipsyncers, esp seasons 2-6. Jinkx probably would have killed every lipsync she did if she fell into the bottom more than once. S5 was just packed in general.

Like gently caress a regular season, just give me Ru Paul Assassins, with like five queens and nobody leaves and everyone's judged exclusively on lipsyncs

idk I just want everyone to recognize that everyone who's been on the show is a top tier performer/charismatic, and when we compare them, we should do so with the knowledge that we're looking at people with a lot of passion and an absurdly high level of skill: professional entertainers and people-charmers.

Support them and support your local queens!! with money or with big smiles and a real compliment at the end of the night!

Can I just say that Valentina’s move on confronting Manila was like a grade A masterpiece? Essentially challenging her to keep her in the competition and making her look horrible if she took the shot at her? The dramatics and social gaming was masterful and Valentina’s star is only shining brighter as the season goes on. Manila basically had no choice but to save her with how it was edited.

Totally agreed. Valentina putting the challenge on Manilla to meet her at the end was awesome television.

manila swears to show no mercy moving forwards. valentina shows an absolute lack of patience for manila's shenanigans. good setups for what's to come!

this challenge could go either way, crappy or terrific.

oh sweet latrice. for a big queen, you're so easily overshadowed. get in there, be intimidating, horse it up. naomi and manila is a very good combo - i'd be surprised if they don't win. valentina and trinity, bottom two forever. that said, i love seeing Valentina's flaws come out. she is the perfect talking head.

There is no way that Manila will pick Latrice, and there is no way that Monique will pick Monet.

This will probably be the first time this season that who goes home is entirely dependent on who wins the lipsync.

There's no way Monique wins this lipsync. She's pretty good, but against Manilla? No way.

I would've put Valentina actually. She struggled in the challenge, and while I got what she was going for on the runway, it didn't work.

I do love how extra she is being tonight though, especially when Latrice and Manila were having their moment, and Valentina was behind them moving back and forth trying to make sure she would still be on camera.

Are we watching this VH1 show that comes on at 9:30 that apparently stars Katya? I can't tell what it's about, despite a promo every commercial break (of which there have been a lot tonight)

Edit: Oh, it's just a talking head show with a bunch of people I don't know, and Katya.

Edit 2: She was not in this episode, and it wasn't worth to watch.

a few thoughts

- I thought the bottom two was right and if I had to add a third to the bottom it would have been Trinity tbh
- I did not understand Naomi's critiques at all, I thought it would be her and Monique, Naomi's comeback about the raggedy dog ("HER NAME IS PANINI") loving ruined me until I cried laughing
- was super turned off by Latrice saying poo poo like "I should stay because I am beloved", and loved Trinity's talking head where she was basically like "She did the worst this week, straight up, play fair, she goes home"
- loved Valentina's little rant about the judge followed by Monique immediately saying "girl I love you, but you're safe" and just walking away, lmao
- Monique did a lipsync with her wig staying on her loving head! that's the true-ah-ah sensation

next episode is gonna be wild

That sideways hair-toss is pure Tinta Turnter and as soon as she did that I thought, "oh poo poo, Monique might actually win this lipsync."

Pretty much this. Monet didn't deserve to go home tonight. I love Latrice but she's been muted for four episodes. Bring her back for Legends of Drag Season 1 whenever they go on and do that, but she wasn't shining here.

Anyway, improv is CLEARLY not Latrice's strong suit (did bad on snatch game season four, went home on an improv challenge, same this season) and tbh she was trying to coast on "i am loved by everyone and thats how all stars works"
Granted, I love her and I want her on my TV at all times, but she really did not need to stay here with these performances.

Also: Valentina's outfit was loving baller but it 100% didn't fit the theme and I'm disappointed only one judge called her out for it.

As a stan of both RPDR and Jersey Shore this is the crossover I didn't know I needed btw. Monet deserves to stay based on knowing what GTL is imo. Sorry Latrice ilu but you have been coasting all season, it was your time and I'm lowkey glad Manila lost that lip sync-- blasphemous as it may be!!

However, they were both really loving good in the lip sync. Monique was embodying Tina Turtner tho so

The challenge in general was fun all around, which is rare in improv challenges with teams. Latrice was the only one I thought was super weak. Monet lost the plot entirely, but she at least had some moments that made me laugh. Can't decide who I would put lower between Trinity and Valentina. I think Valentina was overall stronger, surprisingly, in the challenge itself. Trinity was still good, but not as energetic and on point as she usually is in stuff like this. But I liked her outfit more. I did like Valentina's outfit, too, and I think it fit the theme but I think she could have gone bigger. More exaggerated. They were both more consistent overall than Monet.

Also all the runways were lit. I'd put Manila or Trinity as my top toots of the week.

Also regarding next week's episode I am 100% here for the tweest, it's one of the only things that was a pretty sure spoiler months ago and is one of the only spoilers from months ago that I remember so A+

e: oh and I think Naomi killed it but def needed to give more against Manila. But she was 100000% safe
