Ep 5 thoughts: I think it was my favourite episode of the season so far, barring the premieres. The queens as a collective seem to bounce off each other more and more, which is good to see. The challenge was okay but did go on for quite a bit. By the time Crystal and Heidi came on I was like 'omg there's more', but I do agree with Ru and thought most of them did well. The elimination definitely hurt a little. Nicky was super-genuine and lovely, and it was nice to have a European presence on the show. Her drag was gorgeous, too, so her runways will be missed. Definitely a loss to the season, but I do think this is a strong group of queens so eliminations are going to be tough.
Sherry was the best in the challenge and it really sucks because she's outright the best queen on the show, IMO. Her runways and challenge performances have been consistently good. There's something about both Jaida and Jan that rubs me up the wrong way — the former comes across arrogant, while the latter has real mean girl vibes. It sucks because I do like their drag, but there's something not clicking with those two for me...Even though I want it to. Gigi is probably my favourite at the moment, but I have heard that she was a bitch during Untucked so I will have to see what that's about. Otherwise, Crystal is fast becoming my fave cause she's adorable and lovable. Oh, Heidi is obviously amazing as well. She rounds up my top three. I like Widow and don't really have an opinion Jackie, even though it seems they're filling up Sherry content with Jackie content. That's the second episode where they made it seem like Jackie should have won an episode Sherry won.
In terms of the Aiden/Brita thing (if it is actually a thing), I'm definitely #teamaiden even though I'm not her biggest fan. Brita is a bit of a hell demon and definitely has an ego due to her New York reputation, and she is unfairly taking her poor track record out on Aiden particularly. I can take someone wearing the same wig on the runway a bunch of times over someone who is just sour and unlikable. However, I do understand Brita is much more than that outside the realm of Drag Race, so I am reigning in my dislike for her as much as I can (cause it does seem like the editors are amping up the villain edit a lot with her, too).
Lastly, Normani was a terrible guest judge. Sorry
