AS4 Episode 4
 

For discussion x

This was a really good episode! idk why but I thought Monique had fourth boot written all over her, so I'm pleasantly surprised she did well. On the other hand, it was definitely Latrice's time to go. There's only so many times you can put the blame on other people just because you're not succeeding in a challenge. Her entire stint on AS4 was quite lukewarm, tbh.

But yeah, Judge Jersey (or whatever it was called) was quite fun, the lip-sync was great, and the elimination was justified. Next week's challenge looks fantastic, so I'm looking forward to it. I'm already loving a lot of the funeral looks and how campy and glamorous they are.

Another strong episode, the season is clearly going to overall be better than AS3

Can’t really argue with the bottom 2
I actually preferred Naomi’s preformance to Manila’s (for the second week in a row)
I’m just accepting all these Naomi robberies as the universe balancing itself out for her being top 3 week 1 when she was one of the worst

Episode fell a bit flat for me without the Gia drama, so hopefully it was just a blip and next week's is better. Latrice kind of flopped and I hope it hasn't ruined her legacy. Will be interesting now the rules have changed back to normal too.

Trinity came off really bitter and catty this ep, think she was insecure because she did a bad job herself this week so tried to make Latrice look 10x worse than she was.

And I actually thought Naomi should've been in the bottom with Latrice instead of Monet. I'm not sure why she keeps getting a free pass every week.

Hoping for a Manila, Monique or Valentina win at this point.

Agree with everyone else tbh, a pretty good episode (although the challenge felt like a bit of a rehash of Bossy Rossy) and defintely agree it was Latrice’s time to go. I didn’t like her/Manillas logic that just because they’re seasoned queens that they should stay and I’m glad Monique sent her home.

Next weeks ep looks really good and I’m excited to see what the rule change is gonna be

ALSO ****ing screaming at Valentina going off when they got backstage about the judge not getting her look, she’s such a mess

I LOVED Trinity this episode idk why (she did flop in the challenge tho and I would argue that she was worse than Monet). I don't really know how Manila ended up top 2 but I'm not mad at it because I'm really liking her this season which I'm surprised by. I think Valentina should've been top 2 tbh but I'm glad Monique got ha win. Also, the scenes with Latrila were adorable :love: :(

:joker:

I could not believe that was a Valentina look. The makeup was beautiful, but the concept and construct of the garment were so bizarre and unlike what Valentina usually has to offer.

It was a good episode despite the mediocre challenge.

I love Latrice but it was her time to go, she's a good example of someone being an excellent queen but not a great Drag Racer.

really went off Latrice found her arrogant in this episode, she hasn't really shined this season. Monique or Trinity for the win!! (valentina is making me scream)

:joker:

Isn't it obvious by now... RuPaul loves the skinny leggy queens and a big girl will never win. Drag race is less about drag and more about approved high fashion... and Ru saves who she would like to **** (Valentina and Naomi) which is why there will be a rule change next week.

Also, I was warming to Trinity last week but this episode turned me off her again.

Latrice :sad:


Monet should've went, OMG her character in that Jersey Justice was a big disaster, i know Latrice was boring but Monet wasn't even in her character, like Visage said just Monet with a blonde wig


the lip sync i thought this was written for Monique all over, that look she looked perfectly like Tina Turner :clap2: Manila did the best she could


Trinity well i liked her selflessness in the challenge to come over better as a duo with Valentina, but she could've given more and wowed us, maybe she should do that next week

Trinity was right about Latrice, nice she has 25 years of experience but she is up against modern drag queens when she's more oldschool, so that is more difficult and also Latrice hasn't been in the top at all this entire series


Monet just is in my personal bottom for weeks now, hope she goes next week cause she is the weakest out of those remaining now

Latrice in AS4 reminds me of Nadia in Ultimate Big Brother... Completely different from the first time we saw them.

Whilst Nadia had turned into a catty, two faced bitch Latrice seemed to not wanna be there, phoned it in and thinks being a legend will keep you in a competition.

I love Royale don't get me wrong, but this isn't 2011 anymore and needs to bring more than just being the token fat one. There were times when I thought she was coming across quite bad like telling everyone how beloved she is. Its not a nice look.

Monique/Valentina/Manila/Trinity seems the most likely final four at the min and I am soooo here for it :love: (well, not T’Tuck but that’s by the by!).

A bit gutted for Latrice but she just want #BrownCowStunning this season

Trinity is such an OTT scream

Valentina dragging Erica Ash :skull:

Monique truly milking that cow get it :laugh2:


so many times she went for that cow outfit it gets a bit too boring :bored:

Thoughts on the episode:

- It was the correct bottom two, but I would've sent Monet home. She should've been B2 last week over Valentina, and would've had the worse track record. Latrice should've been top 2 in the first week (with Gia), which would've erased her "lukewarm" presence others have bemoaned. Monet's Kim K dress was botched and really... not that funny or iconic or interesting to look at.
- Everyone was decent in the challenge but I was really impressed by Naomi's performance, she did good. Manila and Monique were obviously great but I would've been pissed off to be in a team with Monique. She isn't diplomatic with sharing lines at all, and that voice... oy vey.
- Trinity was a little bit of a let-down, and her and Valentina only really saved themselves with the fighting scenes. I thought the criticisms Latrice and Monet got were a little bit... "Thorgy Thor being told off for not having much to work with in AS3".
- The deliberations were emotional but I don't know why Latrila got such scrutiny for "she just wants to save her friend :oh:" when Monique was literally doing the same for Monet... I can see why Latrice's attitude might've rubbed up some the wrong way (saying she was the most beloved queen, etc.) but...ugh I love Monet but she just doesn't wow me at all like Latrice does. She is just... Bob's boring sister.
- I am 300% over Valentina's hogging of the cameras. Aside from her brilliant Into You lipsync, I am actively rooting for her to sashay away.

Best runways: Manila and Trinity
Worst runways: Monet and Valentina (THAT. WAS. UGLY. AND. NOTHING. TO. DO. WITH. CURVES & SWERVES. It was a fashion editorial runway theme and a ****ing ugly one at that.)

I couldn't agree more with this last bit... but also just about everything else Shaun said

Of course, Latrice should've been top two for waving flags around. So talented.

I mean she was beaten out of the top 3 by someone who took a skirt off and someone who walked around the stage for 90 seconds

I am not impressed with Monique and Monet in the Episode 5 preview. They must go next.
