I agree Elisha was a really good host.

First off, Jimbo and Scarlet had the best runway looks. Priyanka and Scarlet did the best in the challenge so it was a deserving top.

The bottom 2 was corny, Kiara and Ilona should have been there. Kiara for both runway and challenge, and Ilona for the challenge (her runway was cool!) I don't get some of the critiques. And they are unnecessarily harsh sometimes? Idk, something's off about the judging for the 3rd week in a row.

I feel bad for Anastarzia, I wanted her to stay much longer but the lipsync was her downfall, she didn't push as strongly as Tynomi did (who delivered something clean and focused again!).

MB would you mind putting spoilers in the thread title my dear, I keep forgetting what day this airs and clicking by accident :laugh:

It's becoming better with each episode, Brooke and Stacey are getting better as judges but Jeremy still acts like he's reading off a teleprompter.

The challenge was pretty good and I'm really liking the cast, I'd say Priyanka and Jimbo are positioning themselves as my faves atm. I miss Kyne though </3

Starzy providing the most entertaining talking heads of the episode, doing her choreo rehearsal in a full-on overcoat, taking to the runway as Cousin Itt and still being sent home... that's not sitting right with me, luv!

I would, but I'm not able to edit the title after a year. I probably could ask a mod to do it though?

Yeah there's something really unpalatable about the judging decisions so far. Anastarzia is such a talented queen and I thought she'd make final 6 at least so it's shocking to see her leave so early.

I am finding Rita Baga to be one of the weakest girls in the competition alongside Ilona Verley. I cannot believe she won the challenge in week 1 and continues to skate by!

Its official. “Quebeccy with the good hair” convinced me.

Someone told me this was a much better episode than the first two so I jumped back in :ninja2: and it was!

The only thing is I feel like they wasted two good challenges on one episode? Both the newsreader and the girlgroup challenge should have their own episodes. But that's the only real issue I have with this week (bar Jeffrey who is beyond help).

I don't really understand the appeal with BOA and it's starting to feel like she's just being given false praise to get in the heads of the other girls and create conflict. Her performance was fine but not top three, and her runway was hideous. Ginger Minj's nude runway is not an ideal inspiration for a reboot!

Priyanka did the best in all 3 aspects of the show; she was charming as a newsreader, memorable as a performer and had a great take on the runway theme. As much as I like Jimbo, he really floundered in the performance and was visibly uncomfortable (despite being great at the newsreading and the runway). I'd have said the best 3 were Priyanka, Lemon and Scarlett/Rita. I like Kiara but I can't help but feel she should have lipsynced (even though I cannot defend either of Anastarzia or Kynomi's performances; Anastarzia literally stood still and swayed whilst smiling during some of the choreo :joker:) I thought Tynomi would be a competitor but she's just...not... and at this point it feels like it's Rita's or Priyanka's to lose.

I agree with dezzy the episodes seem to be getting better as the week goes on. I’m actually liking the guest judge kind of being the host every week since, maybe that’s because every guest judge so far has been quite good.

Anastarzia!!! NOOO she was so funny and I always enjoy the mother queens but tynomi did out do her in that lip sync I feel like starzy just gave up in the end. This whole thing around BOA is a bit conflicting she’s definitely not awful but I think the praise she’s getting isn’t what she deserves.

for some reason lemon really grated on me this week :/ she’s like a annoying, dislikable version of farrah moan (not an insult against farrah because I love ha)

That episode was a CHOICE.

The fashion line idea was cute, but 90% of the outfits were horrible.
Apart from Lemon who made something polished and decent, the others (even Priyanka, Jimbo and Rita Baga) were really not good whether on the execution part or the idea itself.

Jeffrey better stop coming at Jimbo :nono::nono: Sis was robbed twice already, give her some air.
I can't deal with his tone and him trying to imperonate RuPaul all the time.
Boa safe despite wearing...this. But whatever.

And of course Ilona gave us some usual Untucked moments "I'm in the bottom and you don't care about me". Thank God Jimbo put her in her place :laugh:

Priyanka solidifying herself as the confessionnal queen of the season and an overall front-runner. We love to see it.

And the guest host is so hot, he really looks like my future husband and 60% of my exes :joker:

Next week Brooke is hosting the Snatch Game which I have nothing to say about because it just shows how stupid this is.

I actually thought this episode was the best of the season? in terms of drama as well. I was entertained throughout. I love design challenges this one was fun to watch because a good majority of the outfits were ****ing awful :joker:

In terms of outfits, Rita Baga was easily the best, Priyanka, Jimbo also were okay, I found Priyanka's one cute but I felt like it needed a little more work, Jimbo's make up let her down a lot as well. Boa was by FAR the worst another gimmick and a tinfoil diaper? BOOT GIRL!

untucked was hilarious Ilona and her ****ing meltdown, Jimbo rightfully attacking her, Tynomi attacking the judges for the entire episode brilliant :joker:. I can't at Ilona doing a cock destroyer next week for snatch game before the UK girls got a chance I hope it's good. Also I don't have a problem with Brooke hosting it, yes she bombed in her snatch game but it doesn't mean she'll be the same as a host. Jeffery really annoyed me this week :skull:

I don't like jimbo.

Ilona was definitely annoying but jimbo sabotaged them, agreeing to the sparkle idea and then decides he's doing something different, so selfish.

Ok so I understand the paper looks were a bit of a shambles if you're looking through a fashion lens but I definitely don't agree that they were the worst team judging by the skill/effort/vision that it took to construct all three of those looks. As much as I enjoy Lemon, her Brillo pad dress was lacking imagination and Priyanka's - while being the best out of that group - also left me wanting a bit more. At this point, BOA is the cockroach that won't die when it comes to her narrowly escaping the bottom two. Her look was half baked and I would have had Lemon send her home in a lipsync this week, honestly.

Ilona rubbed me the wrong way this episode too. Commanding all the attention of the room for herself when it was pretty much an unspoken consensus that the group just basically wanted to mourn Tynomi sjkfsjsfkj. I also thought her high school story about having the popular girlies as besties and trying to "out-fag" another gay student who came out after Ilona just reeked of privilege. Especially following Starzy's story a couple of episodes, Ilona came off very conceited to me this week.

Rita's growing on me despite getting off to a weak start in the competition IMO. I'm also hot and cold with both Kiara and Scarlett each episode. Scarlett works best away from Ilona who tends to try marketing them as a double-act, whereas Kiara works best away from Rita who tends to outshine her.

I can't stand Jeffrey, Stacey's carrying the judging panel while Jeffrey is weighing it down with his bad impersonations of Ru and desperate need to be the Simon Cowell of Drag Race.

The challenge was an interesting twist on the design/ball challenge but the actual looks were mostly poor.

OH MY GOD SHUT UP ILONA.

Hmm Twitter seemed outraged at most of the judging decisions this week and I can't say I'm that flabbergasted? Like, I can fathom why they thought Tynomi and Ilona looked like pinatas...

But that said, I think they did a better job and had more cohesive looks than the metal girls. I know metal was the hardest material to work with, and I had brief nightmares of Baga Chipz' scourer dress that MIRACULOUSLY was 'safe' and not 'worthy of the death penalty being brought back', but I did not think any of them looked good. And it didn't help that they all had cheap Kardashian wigs on, and Priyanka's makeup looked awful. Lemon's was perhaps the least interesting of the bunch, but BOA should definitely have lipsynced. I would've ranked them thusly:

Winner: Scarlett
High: Kiara & Rita
Safe: Jimbo, Tynomi & Lemon
Low: Priyanka
B2: Boa & Ilona

I think the plastics looked very professionally executed, and could've easily been a real fashion collection, and any of them deserved the win. For a club kid approach I thought Rita's face - which should be the focus in a club kid look - was a little too lost in her chest plastic so would've opted for Scarlett instead.

And yeah at this point I would happily contribute towards a gofundme to have Jeffrey assassinated in a hate crime. Obnoxious little prick.

I agree with most of the above tbh, in particular that Scarlett ought to have pipped Rita to the win and Team Metal (or at least Lemon) should have been called out on their Party City wigs

Speaking of Rita, she's grown on me massively since the beginning, and I think "it's a new day in the workroom and I'm feeling subtitled!" was my favourite moment of the episode (right next to her taking off her hat you balding bitch) :love:

I’m appalled by the judging this last episode. How dare they decide the girls who literally just wrapped themselves in spray painted plastic should win. Never mind putting the paper girls in the bottom who were the only ones to actually construct something out of the materials rather than just attach it to their bodies.

Lmfao, Tynomi Banks just liked my tweet about Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman being an awful judge :joker:

Jeffrey be dutty dutty and needs to wash his panty panty!

:lovedup:

Jimbo and most of the other franchise Drag Race girls are not being particularly diplomatic about hating him either. Hopefully this is the beginning of the end of him.

Jeffrey is what happens when the entire world is hyping you up because you're cute. It's supposed to be constructive criticism, the goal is to help the queens do better. But he's not helpful, he's simply mean.

In reference to Jimbo, this mf Jeffrey didn't know what Rococo is. Because indeed back then they painted their face and chest, but not their arms. He doesn't even have technical knowledge to be part of this panel.
tbh Stacey is the best one of them all. She makes solid points.

I think Jimbo held back to not be seen as someone who claps back at the judges. But seriously, someone should have told Jeffrey this is part of the Rococo art (maybe Brooke if she had the knowledge?)
