awooo perched for the Cheryl show x

[UserSince2005]

tbh this is the best season in years

[Shaun]

I fear for our Vinegar if it's a sewing challenge, based on the past two runways </3

you'd imagine Vivi, Crystal and Blu will do well... hard to tell with the others :think:

[Saph]

I think vinegar needs to REALLY do well this ep to avoid lip syncing, and maybe Sum Ting/Cheryl too

[Saph]

ITS UP

vivienne and baga doing thelma and louise hdkjfgdkgkdkg

[Shaun]

The editing is a little more obvious/predictable this week </3

(ie tonnes of time spent on saying "wow look how much Sum Ting and Vinegar are struggling") :(

hopefully it's just the one of them vs. Cheryl

[Shaun]

Thoughts on their looks...

Divina - :clap1: amazing. Love it.
Baga - just...really underwhelming and minimalist. :shrug: no shape to it at all
Blu - I like the colours but the whole outfit is a bit... too much.
Sum Ting Wong - ok she's obviously lipsyncing :( did she even bloody use anything from the car? It looks nice though
Vivienne - love the makeup but I expected more from the look... the hair swallows it up and it just looks like a big splash :shrug: the neck looks stupid, too
Vinegar - better than i expected! :omgno: could she be safe?
Cheryl - kinda cute tbh!
Crystal - stun :clap1: ning :clap1:

[Shaun]

Erm... excuse me?

Baga is SAFE with THAT?

[Saph]

post ep thoughts


omg I love this so much more than the US one.

Vinegar SIS... it was almost TOO obvious she was gonna go :skull: what was that outfit.. and her lipsync was so messy, she did make me laugh though.

I love Baga and Viviennes friendship but I feel like they re building up to a fall out.

I liked Divinas outfit but I wasn't keen on the makeup, I think Crystal should've won the main challenge this week.

HOW was Baga safe?!? she got a free pass because her outfit was on level with Vinegars :skull:

Next week looks great! cant wait for snatch game

[Shaun]

FINALLY, a good lipsync :love:

[Amy Jade]

Glad to see a design task!

[Black Dagger]

I love Baga but that outfit was basic as ****. Gutted for Vinegar but all throughout the episode it was inevitable.

[RileyH]

Cheryl somehow escaping B2 AGAIN :love: Sum Ting Wong surviving too :love:

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

Does he have to explain what shantay means every week

[Twosugars]

Vivienne is getting a bit arrogant

[lewis111]

Yeah really gone off Vivienne this week far too over confident, Divina seems to be the voice of reason and I'm agreeing with what she's saying about Viv and Baga.
But based on the edit I'm still not sure whether we're meant to like Cheryl or Viv. It seems to be a protagonist antagonist storyline but I can't tell who's who

[MB.]

She hit the floor (she hit the floor)

the new Akashia :love:

[Cal.]

So we’re all agreed Divina De Campo is our winner? Yes?

[Tom4784]

I thought this episode was a bit difficult to get through tbh. I was bored.

Divina deserved to win but Crystal and Vivienne's looks were both pretty great (although Vivienne's isn't anything new).

I love Baga but she should have been in the bottom over Sum Ting Wong, I think. Her outfit had no shape to it at all and it was just.... I don't know what it was but it was ugly. Sum's wasn't great either but for someone who doesn't know how to sew it was pretty damn good.

I liked Vinegar's personality but she was not ready for this competition.

Cheryl is really starting to hamper my enjoyment of the show tbh, she obviously wants to be the Alyssa of the show but she doesn't have her charm. I'm hoping she goes home next week.

[Braden]

???

I love Baga but her outfit was easily the worst of the lot. I actually liked both Sum Ting and Vinegar's looks. Obviously not as good as the top three, but somewhat passable.

I'm SO looking forward to Snatch Game next week. I'm dead at Baga potentially doing Thatcher...was howling her dancing the may pole looking like Emily Thornberry this episode. Political queen :love:

[Shaun]

Some Snatch Game spoilers (just who they're impersonating lol, not who goes home / wins)...

Vivienne - Donald Trump
Baga - Margaret Thatcher
Divina - changes last minute to Julia Childs
Cheryl - Gemma Collins
Sum Ting Wong - David Attenborough :unsure:

no word on who Blu and Crystal choose

[Saph]

I can already tell Cheryls Gemma Collins will be painfully cringy

also Sum Ting as David Attenborough :skull: I cant see this going down well

I really wish The Vivienne would've done Kim, she would've killed it

[sleleen]

Blu- Mary Berry?

[Samm]

Viv doing donald trump is a CHOICE

[Black Dagger]

Crystal is Blanche Devereux

[Daniel-X]

Another great episode, my enjoyment is going uo as the weeks go on and it’s now starting to feel a good competitor to its US sister. Something it didn’t really show at first.

The judging was off again though this week, seriously off. Divina deserves the win hands down but I think Blu deserved top three over Viv, Viv’s was not actually that nice. I’d argue a case for Cheryl’s even being better. Baga’s was ATROCIOUS, there was no shaping and it just looked... ugly. Should’ve been bottom with Vinegar and Sum Ting should’ve been low but safe - it wasn’t actually bad just too minimalist.

Baga and Viv are becoming unbearable with their overconfidence and clearly Baga thinks she can get through on personality alone. The producers clearly think Baga is hilarious though with her talking heads so I can’t see her going anytime soon.

Divina :love: everything about her is just LOVELY. Backing her all the way to win. Cheryl is becoming more of a panto villain too and I’m glad we’re getting a few more layers, she’s a scream to watch so I hope she doesn’t go anytime soon even tho she clearly has no chance of winning.

Snatch Game predictions (contains spoiler info)

Viv/Baga double win? It is "spoiled" that Divina, Vivienne and Baga go into the Top 3 with three wins a piece so we definitely need to see some shared wins for that to be true. I remember hearing in next week's promo that it was one of the best Snatch Game characters ever which "brought two worlds together". Now, knowing that Vivienne impersonates Trump and Baga does Thatcher, I'm thinking that quote could be referring to them.

I don't expect Crystal or Sum Ting Wong to do well at all. Divina will probably be 'low' considering she changes her character last-minute and I also heard she does have one bad week that might even land ha in the bottom. If Vivienne and Baga are in the top three again next week, I think the queen accompanying them there will be Cheryl. She deserves redemption and I do think she can pull a GC impersonation off. That means Blu safe? don't know, don't particularly care~

[Denver]

Sum Ting Wong is by fair my fave

[Shaun]

just a warning for anyone clicking Jigs' spoiler that it pretty much spoils the rest of the season :skull:

[Braden]

Thank you, Shaun!

[Marsh.]

So, I'm guessing Snatch Game changes were made to ensure Ru knew who they were impersonating. :joker: Divina's choice alone is so random.

[Shaun]

This friendship :love: the ending took me out. If only they included more of this and less of the judges' crap jokes.

[Denver]

We demand they get their own TV show

[Tana Mongeau]

This season has been really underwhelming for me. I want to be into it, but a lot of it kinda feels meh to me. I'm hoping Snatch Game will amp things up and get the season really going!

Probably because the format is the same, you're probably bored of it.

[Tana Mongeau]

Probably because the format is the same, you're probably bored of it.

Not at all, I enjoy the Drag Race format and regularly re-watch previous seasons and enjoy them just as much (if not more than) the previous watch. The queens this season just haven't really been interesting me much at all. There have been a couple great runway looks, but I couldn't really say much else that has been memorable to me.

It seems like the Snatch Game is going to be very good from the previews, so I do hope that it's a good turning point for the season that can really kick it into full gear.

This friendship :love: the ending took me out. If only they included more of this and less of the judges' crap jokes.

tv/B3xjiFUgCyy

....:lovedup:...this is a huge part of this U.K. season for me...because it feels more like the earlier drag races, when the friendships were focused on more...when we really felt the closeness of the queen community...I feel that has been lost a little and the heart is less there...I love the glamour of it all as well but I so adore seeing their friendships evolve...
