I think Denali should have been in the top instead of Kandy, but Kandy brought me one of my absolute favorite Untucked moments of the season.

her flat-out wanting to buy a boat with her prize money was also very endearing. "gently caress drag! i want a boat!"

Extremely so, yes. Especially because it's my understanding that $100k isn't a lot in 'boat money'.


I'm 20% into the reunion, the scripting is real and bad, but if anyone does something funnier than Joey Jay I'll be shocked. Her segment was worth watching.

I guess I'm projecting on Kandy because I picture her wanting a luxury boat experience. That's not fair.

In any case, my 2nd favorite moment from the reunion thus far is Tina Burner calling her makeover a hate crime. I love a self-aware queen.
And seconding the call for the Golden Boot to be a returning feature! Unless it means a queen needs to serve Lala Bag Realness every season.

I can’t believe I sat thru this insanely scripted hour. The paparazzi with the queens walking in was beyond terrible. Can we just go back to reigniting drama? Shits more entertaining than this.

Denali was stunning as usual. Not sure if she’d win it all but ugh - I love em.

I recognized the voice of who was acting as the paparazzi. Was that Aquaria? Raven?

I dunno, even if it was super scripted, seeing Joey Jay and Denali's lip sync performances (Denali twice) kinda made it worth it to me.

one thing that I’ve really appreciated about this season, despite its flaws, is how well it’s showcased all of the participants. In most seasons the queens who go home second-sixth get short shrift, including during the reunion. The extra eps at the beginning/the reunion music videos did well to endear the early-home queens to the television audience.

Loved Tamisha and Denali’s music videos (that loving backflip), hated Tina’s

I tapped out after Tamisha's segment. Did they even have all the girls on one Zoom call in the end? Valentina this is a lip sync reunion what part of that do you not understand?

Nope they just had like, skits between selected queens and a lipsync battle for charity. Which was made me laugh because it was set up to be the winner gets $10k to the charity of their choice and then when the winner was declared, the loser still got $5k for the charity of their choice and all I could think of was "of course WOW is cheap enough that they want an excuse to give only $15k to trans and black charities instead of $20k on their biggest and most trans and BLM pandering season of all time"

It gave the early outs an opportunity to showcase something but yeah, we’ve had proper scrappy reunions (for the most part) since season one. Bring them back Ru you coward.

I liked the opportunity for the queens to show off more of their talents with the videos. I enjoyed Kahmora's, Joey's, and Denali's the most. Honorable mention to Olivia's for the cinematography. Just when I thought Denali couldn't endear me further, she goes and picks a Blackpink song to skate-lipsync to. Everything involving Lala was hysterical, and just solidifies my opinion that the season became so much less entertaining when she left.

Where. Was. The. Drama, though?

This is very tinfoil hat, but I think any drama would be between Tamisha and Kandy and they want to avoid that in case the producers crown her.

Tamisha has already said on social media that she's good with Kandy now so you can stop rolling up that tinfoil now

Eh, it seems Kandy made a (since deleted) Twitter post during the reunion saying like "Guess she needed a storyline" and Tamisha has responded, so it may not be tinfoil hat stuff.

People were accusing Kandy of referring to Tamisha's cancer, but I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and assume she's referring to their fight.
