Just watched the episode now... obviously not as strong as the premiere but pit a shticky performance, that's out of the comfort zones of most of the participants, against a high-tempo performance and it's always going to pale somewhat.

Some of the runways were beautiful... for the tulle I loved Sherry's and Rock's the most. Rock also had the best of the spring looks (but all of these were good), but I gay-gasped at Jaida's fall runway. Only ones I disliked were Sherry's (the headband made her look like Abraham Lincoln) and Aiden's (I liked the style of it, but the poncho needed to cover the leotard).

Performance-wise they were all decent bar Dahlia... who really just doesn't do anything for me. This "Haus of" nonsense would sound a lot more impressive if your head got further than 7th place in a season :shrug: (and that's including the one with only 10 competitors). I think Jan deserved a top spot over Jaida, though, for a unique take on the runway and a more memorable performance.

Obviously the Sherry situation is delicate but I'm mostly saddened that we're going to witness someone perform excellently and then ultimately amount to nothing. I love her style of drag a lot, and it's undervalued among DR fans, but to have it now be associated with her infamy is just heartbreaking (and I still care about her as a queen/person; she's done something awful but shouldn't be demonised).

Jan was the most endearing, I thought - gave me some Cheryl Hole vibes (except I hated Cheryl at the start of UK S1 :joker:)... I like Rock a lot too but that story about being triggered by being choreography leader because...something something mum's drug addiction? It was sad but it was out of completely nowhere and I just found it a little bit attention-seeking (especially when paired with her ridiculous intro and running around the room). Aiden is too shy, I think, to get a favourable oddball edit, but she's interesting (no runways were amazing enough though)... and then there's Jaida, who is...okay? The choreo argument was a little dumb and cyclical but there's a strong performer in there somewhere.

Also: all of them (bar Sherry, soz) were cute (-ish in the case of Aiden) out of drag.

Oh and for once I agreed with Michelle and wanted Ross to shut up about the silhouette of Rock's dress. There was clearly a defined shape, it was just exaggerated (and looked great, imo)

...Sherry is such a huge warmth of personality and such an obvious talented queen...it was really difficult watching her and conditioning myself to not become attached to her, you know....to try to feel a bit more distanced...


...I really worry for her as well, it’s like she’s now playing out a different life and opportunities that she’ll never have....she must already be quite emotionally fragile, so the impact of that as well...it’s all really, really messy, isn’t it...:sad:...

...I agree about Rock btw, Shaun...I love her and I was totally absorbed in her story ...but then she was ...over it hun!!!...:laugh:...(...is how it felt a little, a bit contrived maybe...)...I still love her though...:lovedup:...her style is excellently unique...

I thought this too :skull: it was only day 2 fgs

It's difficult to watch with Sherry Pie tbh. I'd be okay with them potentially taking a week off or so to re-edit the episodes to lessen her presence as much as possible. Obviously you can't edit her out of this episode but they could get rid of her talking head bits and take her out of the spotlight as much as possible.

It's really annoying too because she is quite likable and I felt bad for feeling like that. If she wasn't such a heinous person, she would have been quite a fan favourite, I think. What a waste of talent.

As for the rest of the episode, it was okay, it didn't have the energy of the last episode because of circumstances but I do think Rock's probably my fave out of all the queens atm, the whole addiction thing felt a bit forced but aside from that she was pretty great.

I'd say my faves atm are Rock, Heidi, Brita and Gigi. I think Jaida's close to being up there, as is Widow and Jan and I quite like Jackie too.

these two are a scream together :love:

I was howling at the “...but is it fashion?” :joker:

and Peppermint forgetting the word ‘pageant’, lmao.

It's a shame that Sherry was quite likeable in this episode. She'd be one of my top queens with Jan, Gigi, Aiden and Jaida.

...Jaida Essence Hall, she’s going for the three name queen...honey, Pep Per Minttt....This is my family name, this is my husband’s name, my married name, my maiden name, my Christian name...my Jewish name...:laugh:...



...they’re just pure joy together...:lovedup:...

...Fossay...

So she's edited out of this and Pit Stop, but not Extra Lap Recap. OK :suspect:

What's Extra Lap Recap?
