Imagine telling someone their biological mum doesn't resemble them 😭

Today is a good day to save.


Lexi finally realizing "Oh, Suzie is me if I didn't get hooked on drugs" was pretty sweet. I did love the gag of Lexi saying "Suzie has techniques I don't!" And cut to Suzie duct taping a plastic bag on her mom's head.

My wife, MIL and myself are guessing Suzie's mom has some sort of health condition going on

Family resemblance, much like the monologues really is a chance for the judges to apply any judging parameters they want

I did gasp when Suzie's mum came out onto the runway. also the fact she needed a blanket seemed to be a tell there's something more there. very sad

The make over challenge is always the safety valve for production. Queens can arbitrarily do well or bad because family resemblance is too much/not enough. The judging always sucks but the challenge itself is always fun so *shrug*

The last couple episodes made me really like Lexi and I hate that for me.

I find Lexi super annoying but she's incredibly relatable to me at almost every given moment so that says more about me than her tbh

I'm not a massive Lexi fan tbh, and I don't think that was at all helped with the free ride she got through snatch game (not that it was her fault she got a free ride, but I still hated how it all went down - her snatch game was horrible). I am known for being rotted and hateful though, so perhaps it's no surprise

Hopefully she can come back for an all-stars in future and be less focussed on what everyone else is doing (Susie) and more focussed on herself and her drag

Honestly! Her narrative this season is weird but so focused on Susie, who is...fine? Lexi can be funny, and human, and likeable. But she's so focused on beating Suzie...?!


Naysha, I think, said Suzie is fine but she's not featuring her and I think that's fair? I don't dislike Suzie but something is...off.

Lexi supposedly brought a big binder full of information about the other queens. Girl is not playing around. I wouldn't put it past her to self-produce a storyline in order to make it further, lol. Honestly that's legend behavior, like Alexis Mateo making up a military boyfriend.

Beautiful Cinnamon Roll Too Good For This World, Too Pure



Finally saw the episode and near cried at all the love shown. Proper pronouns and supportive dads to drag queens really made my heart squeeze with joy.

I am also happy and sad about Salchicha. Happy, because she was fierce, but sad because I won't get to see another queen on the Ru stage with that name and it is SO BRILLIANT. To those who didn't get the joke, Salchicha is sausage, but Chiches are boobs and the way they were saying it was really giving both vibes.

The dual Suzie and Lexie Mom experience is a whole lot to process.

Kids trying their best with parents who have their own issues.

I also can’t imagine how it must feel to be their mothers, believe you’re supporting your child in the best way you know how, and then be surrounded by parents who are doing suuuuch a better job than you.

Gosh you articulated this so well

When Suzie's mum was talking to Sam's mum, and when asked if she attended any drag shows Suzie's mum said something like "I've attended all Suzie's musicals" you could sense the disconnect, or discomfort, or something.

Suzie made such a valiant effort being so upbeat all the time, but it felt challenging. Her mum did a great job and it turned out beautifully, but that was such a stark contrast

Man when I watched this episode I thought "ha ha, Suzie's relationship with her mom is just like my relationship with my mom". Now reading the commentary I'm like "wait is that not everyone's experience??"

I watch this show for the petty drama and the lewks, not to discover deep truths about myself, what the heck!

God, I felt just as emotional. It really shows how much things have changed (while being still so precarious!) that every single queen had one of their parents show up. That was definitely not the case 17 years ago. It's really beautiful (and one of the rare times you can see Rupaul being genuinely moved).

Glad they had the double shantay. I started this season not especially feeling any of them, except maybe Lexi. But now I have a lot of affection for all the remaining queens.

I was wondering the whole time if the OG Suzie had some sort of chronic illness or if she was on tranquilizers. She definitely had a weird affect. Very happy to see it come all together on stage though, they were very cute together.

Speaking of the Vegas show, one of my favorite moments from the first Vegas finale was the performance of "Losing Is the New Winning," which opened with Jaida Essence Hall, who won her season.

To those who aren't watching The Amazing Race, the Drag Race Live dancer who was on the makeover episode last year, he and his husband just won the most recent leg of the race. He's so pretty. The second place team was the best friend gaymers.

drat I hope so, she's been my favourite for a hot minute now, and I think she's far and away the best queen in the top 4

I'm a bit nervous given the editing and feedback she received this week though :whitewater:

5) I hear you.
I was confused by that whole maxi challenge. What was even happening? I think they tried to cram too much in with the Latrice interviews, and we missed out on choreography struggles and direction for the Vegas promo thing (I've never been to Vegas, so I'm not even sure I understood what the videos were for).

-Sam- was a bottom over -Lexi-? They couldn't give us a Lexi Vs Suzie lip sync? Did the producers take PTO this week?

Anyway, Onya Nurve is Onya way to the crown, bitch.
