online now

Totally forgot it was Thursday tbh. Will probs watch in bed tonight

post ep thoughts

I used to have that jolly roger t shirt

oh also I feel like Jade Thirwall was a bit underwhelming.. she seemed like she didnt wanna be there

compared to Geri who seemed to be having the time of her life at the panto

“I’m a singer, cheryl’s a choreographer, crystal’s ...... skinny”

Hggjhghh

Everyone's face when Cheryl was bleating on about girl groups whilst Crystal was sobbing. :skull:

Chez truly snapped this week :love:

The hell was Vivienne wearing when they were reading?

Manky socks and jelly shoes? Rancid.

Jade :flutter:

Frock Destroyers were amazing!

I disagree, Jade had a comment for everyone and her comments to Baga was a scream, knew exactly what she meant by it too.

This and the car boot sale challenge have been the best episodes so far

The judging for this one reminded me of if the magic show challenge in season 11 had been done right

...it was heartbreaking when they were talking about bullying at school..:sad:..

I mean neither versions of the song had great lyrics but obviously the Frock Destroyers deserved to win as it was "much better", but I would've liked to have seen a Blu or Divina win and not a threeway.

Kind of an iconic episode, with the different confessionnals, the Frock Destroyers, the bullying talk......and Cheryl Hole going on about herself while Crystal was sobbing. The judging was fine too.
And of course “I’m a singer, Cheryl’s a choreographer, crystal’s...skinny”

My fave episode so far, Baga really grew on me this episode and I'm pretty much a fan of everyone left bar Viv
The song itself was much better than the girl group challenges In the past. Frock Destroyers all looked amazing and had decent verses

Yeah this is true, if a group as a whole clearly does better it should be a group win! ugh God that really was the worst judging from any drag race episode

Watched it earlier.

I think Blu was a teeeeeeeny bit lucky to pick up a badge since she was pretty resoundingly outshone by Divina and Baga but I guess undeserved joint wins are the theme of Drag Race UK :love:

Loved the explanation of Section 28 and Divina's confessional was very moving; I feared she might get the cocky edit in the build up to the season but that seems pretty obviously going to two other queens :laugh:

I have seen the spoilers for who makes it to the final (I won't say how many queens lol) but not who wins, so I am intrigued to see how the rest of the season plays out.

Poor Cheryl getting another "low" placement by default even though she did better than Blu :( thought Divina should've been the overall winner based on her runway, too, it was excellent whereas Baga's was more "drunk aunt at a christening putting a bouquet in her hair".

Re: the lipsync, it was pretty neck and neck yeah. I wouldn't say Crystal won it, because her wig reveal was messy and lacklustre, whereas Viv brought an understated energy and kept focus throughout. But in the event of a tie, it obviously had to come down to form, because it wasn't a "double shantay" lipsync.

Oh and the quality of the challenge was excellent overall, very good episode. MNEK is a darling and must be thanked for his input :love:

Case in point:

...yeah MNEK seemed like a real sweetheart and a wonderful choice for the challenge...:lovedup:...

Hes so much better than Toderick

Crystals whole runway look just didnt do it for me this week, she looked like when the queens have to makeover a family member or something and the family member always looks rough and messy :skull:

the facekini looked really strange and the hat was like paper, those red shoes with the black corset thing during the song was a mess, and then to top it all off that ratty wig was atrocious and I have no idea why she did a reveal during the lipsync just to bring that out again..
