UK S2, Episode 4 - Morning Glory - (on iPlayer now!)
 

Ginny coming for Lawrence :skull:
Ellie coming for Ru :skull:

Just about died at Ellie calling RuPaul out :joker:

Hmm... bad writing screwed over Veronica and Sister. Why would goths be on morning TV? They're really not that visual or prominent on television. That said, they did a bad job and I've been bored of Sister since the cast was announced, and she should've gone in episode one. It's just... all of the other stereotypes made sense; Essex girls, a weird weather presenter, a mumsy agony aunt... it would've made more sense to have some kind of weird interview with someone like that girl who wanted to replace Big Ben's chimes, or some other This Morning nutjob, with 2 queens performing as - I don't know - psychics, or people suffering from a hyper sex drive, idfk.

Ginny should've been safe over Veronica... and Tia should've been high over Lawrence. Ellie was lucky to be safe, because she could easily have been picked for an invisible edit again... she didn't really offer anything on the TV show. As for Lawrence winning AGAIN... jesus christ the rigging :idc:

I really really enjoyed Ginny and A'Whora this episode, which is surprising considering how vocally I've opposed them as drag entertainers and personalities :laugh: Ginny's sisterhood and uplifting of the other queens over the past two episodes has been really heartwarming, and she strikes me as someone who'd be a good friend. A'Whora's insecurity... you could say it was forced, and crocodile tears, but I bought it :shrug: she strikes me as someone who's tried too hard to be a bitch to cover her own insecurities.

Veronica in Untucked was... messy. And lashing out for no real reason :unsure: and I did sympathise slightly with Sister when she came out with "you've thrown me off :oh:" during their improv, tbf

Runwaywise.. really enjoyed Lawrence's attention to detail with the mask of her face. Would've preferred a different wig with it though. Veronica looked... odd... and Tayce looked beautiful again. Tia and A'Whora were stunning, and should've picked up a joint-win tbh :shrug: as for the lipsync... well... there's not really anything to say :laugh:

Winner: Tia & A'Whora
High: Bimini & Tayce
Safe: Lawrence & Ellie
Low: Ginny
Bottom: Veronica & Sister

I think Lawrence should've been called out for dressing mature again when the whole point was that her and Ellie were ‘dragony nieces’. Ellie was **** and could've easily been in the bottom, but at least she got the look right.

The writing for the goths was on the same level of the acting challenges in S7: heinous. It felt so out of place and badly written. Bottom two should have been Veronica and Sister Sister. At least Ginny tried and somehow made it fun.

I think Lawrence had this win in the bag 10 seconds in, though A'whora gave a good fight. Ru possibly gave Lawrence the win because A'Whora's look was boring and Lawrence's was really good.
Tayce was beautiful but it wasn't fitting the theme. Bimini's felt cheap and not fully finished. Sister's was not showing enough (if that makes sense?). Veronica was pretty but her look was not worth saving her a bottom two placement.
Ellie is disappointing me tbh In the two non-design challenges she failed and I want to root for her but she's not making it easy for me. And Tia is a sweetheart :love:

Ginny was so genuine and nice. I wanted her to fight but I get that she did what felt best for her. I actually would like to see her show once I can finally fly to the UK again.

Also, is it me or RuPaul seemed annoyed and not in the mood this episode? It seems like every time a queen spoke (except Lawrence) she felt annoyed or off?

Btw, is Lawrence's boy hair natural? It's triggering me. It's so strange. :skull:

Yeah IA with you Remy I think A’whora’s outfit cost her the win, bc if it had been based on the challenge I think she’d have snatched it

I’m hoping Lawrence is getting the shocking Elim edit bc atm the favouritism is... far too much

Ellie was lucky to escape being in the bottom because... what did she really do? :conf2:

Glad Ginny has gone, I warmed to her in the last couple of episodes, but drag wise I don’t think she really had much else to offer

Did anybody else SCREAM when A’whora was wiping her tears and her hand was as pale as possible compared to her face, it looked like somebody else’s hand :skull::skull:

I had to rewind this. I couldn’t stop laughing.

It's annoying me that Lawrence seems to get by on the fact that he just has to breathe and they all piss themselves laughing at his accent.

That's not a talent.

We could have lost Sister Sister ffs.

Such an utter bore. Her trying to come for Veronica all night didn't sit right with me. Veronica at least tried to come with the jokes even if they didn't land.

And yeah I'm over Lawrence.

Lawrence winning AGAIN :umm2: he’s been Scottish in literally every single challenge they’ve done so far? What’s diverse about that? Considering Ru and Michelle seem to mention it so much. I’m so, so, soooo over him and I knew Lorraine Tax Evading Kelly would lap him up just because he’s Scottish.

A’Whora should’ve won this week, she really stole the challenge for me and the entire show. The runway was stunning and we broke through to some vulnerability, which definitely wasn’t a sob story. It felt so real and I’m glad we’ve seen the facade dropped. She’s still a great shady villain though :laugh: my favourite for sure.

Ginny has irritated me since the cast announcement and her walking off just seemed a bit attention seeking tbh? Idk. She’s just very forced to me and she’s nowhere near as funny as she thinks she is.

The sooner Sister Sister goes the better.

Rankings:

1. A’Whora
2. Tayce
3. Bimini
4. Tia
5. Veronica
6. Ellie (she’s nice but I find her cringe and try-hard)
7. Lawrence
8. Sister Sister

1. Asttina
2. Cherry
3. Joe
4. Ginny

It's like Kate Bush!

Everyone: Yah!

You remember?

Everyone: YAH!

:facepalm: :joker:

I wasn't really feeling this episode much, tbh. I don't like her, but A'Whora should have probably won and I was really hoping Sister would have gone because she's a personality black hole. I found Ginny annoying for the most part but I liked her just peace-ing out.

Next week's episode will be interesting.

Also Shaun told me a while back that

Just to point out, Dezzy's spoiler concerns the aftermath of the break between filming... I can't say what it's about without giving it away, but don't click it if you don't want a major spoiler regarding one of the queens' placements.

I also think the runway theme was bizarre... were they all given set "combinations" of monsters? Because it was quite lucky none of them duplicated, and I just found it jarring and an unnecessary obstacle to the potential of just delivering a great monster look. I understand they might be sensitive around treading on Dragula's toes, but... Dragula didn't invent horror drag :oh: as a result we just got a bunch of mash-ups that left me feeling "....oh I wish Bimini had just gone full Satan, I wish Veronica went full Medusa..." etc.

I was really impressed with Lawrence, Tia and A'Whora's though. Don't think the latter "missed the theme" at all, she was part witch, part zombie, and the brains reveal I thought was "gruesome" enough to dispel any concerns she was resting on pretty :shrug:

A'Whora was wearing some cute black lingerie and jewels, with an exposed brain. I wasn't gagging. It wasn't "monster" enough hence I think they gave Lawrence the win for wearing such a great outfit.

I loved the episode

I'm glad Ginny left when she did, she probably would've gone home anyway had she lipsynced. Screamed @ her writing FANCY A SLICE on the mirror :skull: an icon!

God someone really rattled Veronicas cage this week didnt they :umm2:

1. Bimini
2. Ginny
3. Lawrence
4. Tia
5. Sister
6. Awhora
7. Ellie
8. Tayce
9. Veronica

The covid special I think airs on the Friday next week after Ep 5

...Tia and Awhora making the werkroom great again and bringing peace to the house...:lovedup:...their horror looks were both fabulous, as was Lawrence’...

...I’m glad that Ginny left the way she obviously wanted to :love: ...it kind of felt as though she’d found it quite difficult emotionally but had made some beautiful friends so she was ready to go...?...and she’ll take those friendships with her...I’m not sure that drag race/the competitiveness fitted her vibe so much but I’m so glad that we got to know her and that she’d opened so much of her heart to other queens and to us ...:lovedup:...

I want to know what rupaul said to the girls in the bottom 3. It was all chopped off and went straight to “Veronica you are safe”.
I said to my boyfriend when watching that he must of said something about the coronavirus which isn’t appropriate to show now.
But then Ginny ran off so maybe ru said something really harsh that they don’t want to show?
Either way it was iconic. Loved the cackle.

Just bumping this to ask what people’s thoughts are on Bimini?

The reason I ask is that she seems to be really popular on social media/forums/etc. But outside that moment she had with Ginny I find her incredibly boring and overrated. Will be interesting to hear other people’s thoughts, as I think some people are just following the crowd and putting her on a pedestal.

She's white, blonde and skinny and so that is why they stan.

Good point :joker:

I'm enjoying her a lot because she's so eccentric, she's been performing really well since the first episode (I really liked her "blue box" look in Episode 3 the most, I think she should have won), and she did a great job presenting in this episode. She also did great in the Rats musical, and should've placed highly in it (can't remember if she did, or not)

She doesn't really get involved in the catty insults, seems to be more intelligent than she lets on (making her Belgian Buns all about Brexit rather than going down the usual sticky finger, soggy bottom, cream filling route everyone else did) and just seems like a good egg.

Not sure why Katya is stanning her so much but she's definitely one of the better queens left.
