I thought Gigi had a really fun take on the lip sync and her performance overall was really good! But it's hard to stack up to someone who's doing the full drag lipsync experience, stunts and reveals and everything. Widow is such a powerhouse performer, I'm really excited to see what else she can bring.

Anyway the first 12 minutes of the next episode are up, we get to see the rest of the queen's intros!

Fashion Photo Ruview this week.
They do the entrance looks, and the runway looks. And not the Fashion Show looks. Bizarre.

I have a feeling they're saving those for after the second group of queens does their spring/fall runway. Last time they did the fashion show mini challenge I'm pretty sure the Ruview was split into a few episodes.

I feel like Jan should have been top two instead of Sherry Pie idk. Every time Sherry is on screen I'm creeped out and it made the show less fun to watch

Yeah, I legitimately felt like Jan performed way better than Sherry. Ross is even like "Jan wants to win! Come on! Jan vs Jaida in the lip sync would have been amazing, Sherry gave such a lame performance it felt like she didn't want to win. I agree that I'm not enjoying the show as much whenever Sherry's on screen, especially since it seems like she's going to be SO prominent this season.

I can't believe the judges didn't like the fart joke. :mad: Joyless!! I think so far my top 4 has got to be Jaida/Jan/Rock/Gigi. I mean I just want to see as much of Rock as possible. She's loving hilarious and I really really love the runways she's pulling out already. That tulle? Incredible.

I wish Jaida had won the challenge, I liked her whole presentation a liiiittle more, but Gigi was great too so I can't complain. I can't believe Aiden wasn't in the bottom. I wish Crystal had gotten critique too, I kind of wanted to see what Michelle and them had to say about her new makeup!!

Because the outcomes of the challenges aren't purely based on how well you did in a challenge or on a runway. They are still producing a tv show, and keeping Aiden in provides them with a storyline.

I honestly thought that was gonna be a double sashay lmao. That magic trick saved Brita's rear end. I always think it's kind of disappointing when queens do broadway songs like they're actual broadway performers, like, you don't have to stand there and belt it out, you're not actually singing, you can dance and do something different.

I hope Gigi switches up silhouettes soon, I've been really enjoying her looks overall but things are starting to be a little too samey. They're still GOOD and amazingly well-executed, I just want more variety. I'd love to see her in a gown or something. Makeup is loving phenomenal though.

Snatch game is usually a pretty rough episode for me to watch, I can't stand watching people flub jokes and improv so badly, but overall I felt this one was pretty good! Gigi slayed, obviously, the physical comedy had me losing it. I hate to say it, but I did like Sherry's gimmick of scribbling answers illegibly then just saying they were a match. Tho questionable why she chose that gimmick.

Improv truly isn't this season's strong suit, though Jaida definitely did the best of the bunch.

I liked Jackie's lipsync! The start was a bit too cute for me but as the song goes she just keeps hitting the beats and it was great to watch.

I personally can't take Firework seriously so Jackie doing a kind of comedy campy lip sync was perfect for me. I haven't been totally on board with Jackie until that performance, now I want to see a lot more of her.

That beef was just as overly produced as the Alyssa/Coco pageant drama imho. I don't think either of them actually gave a gently caress, at least not at the point of filming.

Cracker for me was just really grating, idk. I had high hopes for her but kept waiting for her to actually be funny outside of the confessionals.

Also 'it's time for dinner' is dumb

I really want to like Cracker but it feels like a lot of her jokes are just yelling really loud.

Derrick idk about. I'm not super impressed by drag queens who just dress like a pop star and do that pop star's songs/dances, it doesn't really feel interesting or creative, and what I like about drag is the insane creativity. If Derrick can't do Britney for her talent show, what else is she gonna do?

Dida Ritz gave a lip sync performance that is still in my top 5, in SEASON 4. I'm really hoping they'll bring her as an Assassin.

I think Cracker was top this week just because she surprised the judges, I think it's pretty easy to assume she'll just do something funny and not a whole dance routine. I was way more gagged by Juju and Blair being safe; i feel like one of them should have been top. I did NOT realize Blair had a voice like that, and I was so happy to see Juju sing beautifully when we all know she flubbed the singing challenge in S2 badly.


Also, I did not expect Derrick to be leaving. My assumption was that the rest of the queens had chosen Mayhem (Juju straight up showing the lipstick she picked, love it), and that India had chosen Derrick. I really thought the producers were gonna rig it to keep Derrick around more and fuel more drama.... but now I'm thinking eliminated queens are going to come back for sure.

Derrick IS really entertaining and he DOES do Britney really well but also just... I was rolling my eyes really hard at her in Untucked (and deliberation scene) when she's going on about how she can't just do 'Derrick' without it being Britney... it feels like she doesn't really TRY hard to break out of Britney, like she doesn't really have the creativity to figure out what she can do outside of it? I don't know, I'm pretty stoned rn. I'm sure she does really good stuff outside of Britney!!

I think it's widely acknowledged as Shea's season to lose. She had the strongest run for a non-winner ever, and her loss was a shock for the ages (though not unfair).

Other strong contenders are Alexis (who made top 3 in arguably the hardest season) and Juju (who made top 3 twice on charisma and lip syncing ability alone). I don't really see anyone else winning the crown, but Blair might get a Naomi-style black horse run.

I think the consensus is it's going to be Shea or Alexis. I agree about Blair, I think she's been really discounted since her original run on the show wasn't really notable, but she's had a really strong performance every episode so far. Since Mariah's gone, I'm rooting for her.

I expected to see Blair in the bottom this week too, but it seemed as if they were splitting it up by teams? I'm glad she wasn't because I'm really pulling for her, but I'm also so sad to see Mayhem go, I had so much fun watching her this week even if her performance wasn't a stand out.

Not really sure what the point of Cracker's little inquisition of Blair was, but it was just awkward and out of left field. Like, just shut up Cracker and keep all your insecurities to yourself. Now I'm starting to sour on her and I thought she was overall pretty weak this week. Didn't like her maxi challenge performance. Didn't like the runway look. Didn't care for her lip sync. I'm completely baffled as to how she won anything.

I'm really bad for remembering what's happened in last week's episode by the time I watch the current one.... was there anything from Blair in the previous episode or is Cracker just trying to play bullshit mind games every other ep?

I think she did fine in the challenge, but I would have preferred it if Juju won because I like her more. Also I thought Juju looked flawless during the challenge and she looked gorgeous on the runway. Cracker's outfit could have been okay except for the horrible tiny pointy boobs. They looked so bad it threw off the whole thing.

Also I really thought Shea had it this week. Her and Alexis' skit was the funniest to me.

Those were the first words out of my mouth as we were watching the episode last night!

Very interesting that the only alleged co-conspirator (Mayhem) is conveniently not there to confirm or deny. Cracker and Blair claimed they weren't involved, but...

Also, unless I missed something in Untucked (haven't gotten to watch this week's yet): I think some folks are assuming that, by choosing India's lipstick, Shea is confirming that she believes Alexis over India. But I don't think that's necessarily true! After all, Shea doesn't know who is lying, but she DOES know for a fact that India has been in the bottom all those times, so I would think she would pick India even if this conspiracy hadn't been brought up. I'm thinking Shea has her eye on sending Alexis home next.

I think you have a good point!! Alexis is definitely Shea's biggest competitor, but India has been barely skating by the last few eps and that snatch game was pretty....bad. I gotta say if I was in this competition I'd be kicking out the worst performing queens too, it seems like such a pain in the rear end to sit through other people's bad performances. ...but I feel like if Alexis doesn't win next week and Shea does (which might happen, it's a ball!!) she's toast.


Also Shea's looks this season have been loving phenomenal, truly some of my favorite runways I've seen. Crown her.

Yeah, I'm not sure why stand up automatically equals insulting the judges, it wasn't really entertaining and got old super fast, Cracker doing something DIFFERENT made her stand out and she was really the only correct winner. Definitely didn't enjoy the runway, though, if she's wearing something that has a skintone on the neck and her face doesn't match, that's poo poo. She could have done a full face paint!!

I've been watching Legendary lately, and I would say the critiques on that show are about as harsh as the DRCAN judges, so it didn't really phase me. I can see why the judges are so harsh, they really want to push the queens away from their comfort zone and get the best performance possible out of them. I was really surprised how hard they went in on Jimbo and Team, though. I thought it was weird they went so hard on team Paper when I think team Metal had less effort put in. I think Priyanka had the best of her team, but Lemon's felt so..lazy and lacking personality.

I'm so bummed that Tynomi left- but Ilona having a full on break down and going on to win the lip sync? Amazing. I really thought she was going to give up. I alllmost expected the double shantay, but I can see why they don't want to do that season one.

Also? the idea of having team design challenges is cool. It was neat they not only had to present individual looks, but be part of a house. Team Plastic killed it so loving hard.

I've wanted to see Make Me Feel as a lip sync song for ages, and Juju and Shea did such a fantastic job with it. I do agree Juju could have won if she had kept up the energy, but Shea, drat.

I also cannot figure out how they are weighing runways this season. Last episode the runway didn't seem to matter much, if Priyanka was in danger after that phenomenal runway. (Otherwise it should have been BOA and Kiara in the btm 2), and this episode it only seemed to matter if the judges felt like it? Like if Priyanka or Lemon didn't win for the video because their looks were iffy, fine. But then Jimbo should have won the main challenge. Just ahhhh I can't figure out what they're loving doing! It must be an editing thing, there must be poo poo we're missing.
