[Smithy]

Ugh Gags impact?

I haven't read any tea about this episode so I'm intrigued :think:

[zrc]

I'll be glad when Lord Percy & Will I Am are gone. Ariel is pretty much a non entity at this point. We barely see Plastique, I'm sure she's lovely but needs to open her mouth a bit more.

Still loving Yvie, Shuga and Nina. Although Yvie is starting to come across in an unlikable way. Silky is getting the typical redemption edit. From loud, obnoxious to well less loud and obnoxious. No interest whatsoever in this Vanjie/Brooke showmance crap. A'keria... Is there.

Look forward to seeing the runways, because this is right up Oddly's street

[Shaun]

I'm really starting to tire of Yvie running her mouth every episode and trying to play "that one girl who says it how it is" or whatever trope she's coming for. Always starting something and then blaming the other one for how they respond.

I agree, I’m going off her

[TomC]

I’m suddenly LIVING for Rajah

I screamed at “now let me tell you this. Do NOT try me right now” and “I’m not gagging... well I’m gagging from the smell. Do you bathe?”

[Wizard.]

“I’m not from denver I’m from Dallas, and that’s the big D!” :joker:

Completely agree, but since she’s the favourite everyone else will get dragged for it

She’s lowkey iconic! Really hoping she lasts a bit longer

One boring bitch down. :clap1:

[Shaun]

My opinions:

Top 3: Brooke (winner), Scarlet & Plastique
Bottom 3: Ariel, Silky (safe) & Vanjie :shrug: did nothing for me this week.

Best 'Trick or Treater': A'Keria, Brooke or Plastique
Best 'Witch': Yvie or Nina
Best MILF (wtf are these categories???): Scarlet or Brooke.

Shuga's witch should have saved her from the B2 but I can understand why the ToTer look was read so harshly. Didn't mind her eleganza one. Ariel sucked at all 3 and I'm glad she's gone :hee:

Oh dear at the challenge so obviously set up in Yvie's favour not coming through, though :fan:

[RileyH]

Ariel :(

A'keria's Trick or Treater look was FANTASTIC :love: also where was the monster in Brooke's last look :suspect: Shuga shouldn't have been in the bottom

[TomC]

Ariel </3 I really grew to like her, and at least she had a unique style/face.

Brookelyn once again was stunning. I'm getting kinda sick of Vanjie and Plastique's leotards? Surprised the haven't been read for it yet... well maybe Plastique has, icr, but Vanjie deffo hasn't.

:bored: Yvie picking another fight in the next time preview

[TomC]

I also thought Yvie's first look was over-praised... it didn't really go w the 'trampy' theme.

[Captain.Remy]

Brooke Lynn is the only one so far who brought looks that can compete for the crown. She's deffo on par with Detox, Violet, Raja and Aquaria on a fashion standpoint.

The others were just fillers. I usually love the balls episodes, but this one felt...blank and anticlamatic. Again, only Brooke was amazing. S10 was much better, even including Monet's tragic looks.

Unpopular opinion I guess but Yvie is trying too hard to make the "odd" thing happen, and her personality is getting worse every episode.

[Jigs]

Scarlet Envy delivered on all 3 looks in my opinion. Also, I was really shocked to see Yvie in the top 3 this challenge as I felt a little underwhelmed by all three of her looks. My top 3 was Scarlet, Plastique and Nina.

1. Scarlet Envy
2. Plastique Tiara
3. Nina West
-
4. Brooke Lynn Hytes
5. Ra'Jah O'Hara
6. Vanessa Vanjie Mateo
7. Yvie Oddly
8. A'Keria C. Davenport
-
9. Silky Nutmeg Ganache
10. Shuga Cain
11. Ariel Versace

[lewis111]

Best Trick or Treaters - Brooke, A’Keria, Scarlet
Best Witch - Brooke, Yvie, Scarlet & Shuga
Best MILF - Plastique (I know we’ve seen it before but she looked the best regardless), Ra’Jah and A’Keria I guess??

I really hated Yvie’s first look, yes she sold it but it still looked so cheap - the favouritism she seems to be getting is becoming annoying
A’Keria and/or Scarlet really should’ve been top 3

I actually thought Silky done fine this episode (lowkey preferred her overall to Yvie)

[Liam-]

Ariel is no loss tbh, Yvie next please, I’m bored.

Brooke, Plastique and Nina, ugh :love:

[Tom4784]

It was far from the best Ball episode they've ever done which is a shame since the themes were pretty great.

Brooke served three really good looks but I honestly would have given Plastique the win since Brooke's last look wasn't monstrous at all. I'm not TOO mad about her winning though. I also really liked Scarlet's monster and witch looks a lot too. Not many of the other outfits stood out for me beyond that aside from Nina's which were fun but not quite there bar the monster outfit.

I'm happy with the bottom 2 and I love that Ariel's finally gone since she was tragic and wore the same thing week in and week out.

[Moniqua]

One boring bitch down. :clap1:

and 2 in your sig! :clap1:

[Smithy]

Agree on giving Plastique the win tbh, Brooklyns last outfit was a CHOICE and the mummy one was low key really lazy? The only thing that made it interesting is that she’d done it ballet style

[Smithy]

Glad Ariel went too, think she was my least fave and had contributed nothing so far to the season

[Daniel-X]

Scarlet should’ve won, it’s a joke she wasn’t even in the top :umm2:

[Daniel-X]

And Yvie (as much as I love her) could’ve easily been B3 over Silky tbh, her runways were not good.

A mess of an episode.

[Mokka]

Scarlet's looks I already forgot...and they were kind of sloppy
Brooklyn's last look that everyone is critiquing nailed the category of MILF Eleganza... she was literally a black widow... if that doesn't hit the mark .. I don't know what does.

Brooklyn was the only one turning out looks this episode... other than Yvie. I totally loved her last look and I don't know why the judges didn't get it.

This season in general, seems to have a lot of queens who think they just deserve to be there and deserve the crown. There are very few who have come to earn it.

[Mokka]

Ariel </3 I really grew to like her, and at least she had a unique style/face.

Brookelyn once again was stunning. I'm getting kinda sick of Vanjie and Plastique's leotards? Surprised the haven't been read for it yet... well maybe Plastique has, icr, but Vanjie deffo hasn't.

:bored: Yvie picking another fight in the next time preview

They have read Vanjie for the leotard look... they just keep letting her get away with it is all

[zrc]

Lord Percy was top 3 this week. Ru's "choices" have been all over the place this season though. I love Yvie but she absolutely wasn't in the top this week and her attitude is getting worse every episode. Its very off putting because as a freak I want her to do well, but she doesn't have much to back it up. It feels like she'd be a week one boot on Dragula but because she's a little bit different for Drag Race she'll go far just because of being different and not her actual skills.

Ariel was a mess and offered the same look every week, so surprised she lasted this long. Plastique is lovely to look at, but there's isn't much else there. Maybe it's the edit. Shuga Cain reminds me of Thorgy, if she was on Ritalin. Brooke's mummy look was just lazy, rest were fine.

Nina, Akeria, Rajah, Vanjie, Silky are just coasting along.

[Smithy]

The preview for next week seemed to show Michelle coming for Vanjie, presumably for the same silhouette/leotard

well praise the lord!

[Liam-]

Here’s hoping!

I’m so over Vanjie already

[Mokka]

Can't believe Elvira is 67.

Goals

[Saph]

Ariel going was no big deal.. its funny how she was arguably the most famous pre-show being an 'insta-queen'.. but it goes to show that doesn't make you a good overall drag queen.

Im actually sick of hearing them say "vaaaaanjie" now :bored:

I really dont like Scarlett, shes so smug and thinks shes so good.. and I agree about Yvie starting fights for the sake of being the 'voice of the people', its annoying

[Black Dagger]

****ing good riddance Ariel.

[Shaun]

I'd agree that Scarlet was robbed of top 3. Her Monster in particular should've sealed it, far better than Yvie's. I'm just bemused that a challenge so obviously set up in her favour (ala the RuPocalypse being set up in Sharon Needles' favour) just ended so... flatly. Not a great ball in general, really, and otherwise the episode just seemed to feature the showmance (which is just...sad...)

Did laugh at Silky/Nina's kiss though. Just otherwise finding this cast a bit dry outside of my 5 favourites.

and 2 in your sig! :clap1:

...? none of them are gone, sis.

[Tom4784]

The fact that none of them thought to do the gay icon HERSELF, Bayonetta, for the witch runway.

[Shaun]

also this episode made me want S3 of Dragula immediately

[Daniel-X]

I’m really not looking forward to the rest of this seasons challenges tbh if the first five are anything to go off. Ep 2 was the only decent challenge we’ve had so far. The rest have been pretty bad, but then again they’re probably running out of ideas doing three ****ing series a year.

[lewis111]

I was gonna say, I feel like having watched Dragula it made me really disappointed in this episode as we’ve seen looks like that but so much better, and slightly uninterested in Yvie overall cause I’ve seen queeens do what she tries to better
When Ru said “No one is doing what Yvie is doing” I was just like... well there’s a whole show surrounding that style of drag

[zrc]

Yvie is a week one extermination on Dragula.

Yvie is finale material on Drag Race.

On one she'd be seen as a basic filler bitch, the other a unique act who stands out to the rest. I wouldn't be surprised she shaded Dragula because they turned her down, so she went auditioning for RPDR instead. Will say though, from what I've seen she's a fierce lipsyncer, can't see any of this seasons Queen's beating her either if she lands in the bottom.

Nobody would have gotten that sis

[Tom4784]

Nobody would have gotten that sis

Only the basic gays would have missed the reference.

[Smithy]

Only the basic gays would have missed the reference.

Michelle and Ru still find the hows your head joke funny as if they’re gonna know who bayonetta is

[zrc]

I bet they use Wikipedia before Snatch Game so they know who the hell they're meant to be half the time.

Glad she went she was a dickhead. Thought she was the best lipsyncer though, even with the trip... is it 100% decided on the lipsync or?

Always wondered what it would be like, if for a season there was more fan interaction. Granted it would be filmed each week instead of in a block. But if say before the next episode airs the public vote for their favourites online/via an app, bottom two have to lipsync and then Ru/Producers/whomever really chooses gets send the worst packing.

[brat.]

thank gawd ariel went, ah was certain it was shuga with the whole storyline at the start of her giving up her job, plastique served LEWKS

[brat.]

also rajah makes me scream but she's so... basic

[Moniqua]

but she's so... basic

bitch WHAT

how

ah don't understand................:conf:

[Amy Jade]

This episode was pretty much set up for Yvie and I thought all of her looks were underwhelming and Brooke was nice and all but not even close to best of the week.

Scarlet or Plastique were clear winners imo. Happy with who went home though.

[reece(:]

Was I the only one that liked Ariels syringe look?

[Shaun]

it was a good concept but it missed the point of the theme (to be as slutty as possible lol). It would've been good for the third runway of the night, if she'd gone further with the monster side of it though.

[lewis111]

Y’all seen Ariel’s twitter? She seems completely unable to take any form of criticism at all! Why tf go on the show then?
Don’t always agree with Jakeyonce but he’s been making some very good points on the matter

[Donovan.]

I like Eevy but her need to tell everyone everything about themselves would for sure get tiring.

Have they been doing that awkward af alllll--right instead of ok(rolling r's) all season. don't sue me Cardi pls I really was hoping she only copyrighted it in writing. This is worse than the she-mail censorship. I feel robbed of my culture.

Was I the only one that liked Ariels syringe look?

I only liked the syringe shoulders part of the dress. But when I saw it I def half gasped.
