KYNE
what a monster
I agree that the "guest host" thing didn't really work at all, especially when this week's guest host was more charismatic and personable than all of the actual judges combined. I thought the delivery of their critiques was unnecessarily harsh and tactless, particularly Jeffrey's, so much so that they managed to give a queen a full-blown panic attack on episode one ("everybody say love" indeed). And speaking of the judging, I'm feeling
entertained...
amused... the judges were
interesting, their judgement was
interesting...
Spoiler:
Rita being given the win when
that was her reveal was an odd decision, as was BOA Chipz being in the top for gluing stuff onto a corset
. I think my three tops would have been Jimbo, Kiara and... honestly maybe Ilona? My bottoms would have been Juice Boxx and
Rita so I'm clearly not cut out to be a judge on this show lmao.
Speaking of Juice, it was obvious that she would be going during her red-eyed teary confessional about her sobriety, proving the Drag Race rule that a queen who gets personal content during the getting-ready-in-front-of-the-mirror segment is almost definitely going home (it was either going to be her, BOA, Lemon or Ilona, since we barely heard anything about the other queens). Otherwise, she gave me fairly strong season 2 Sonique vibes, so I can't imagine she would have lasted much longer anyway. Although I
did think that she was winning the lip sync for at least the first half, mainly because I was in disbelief that Lemon went to the most prestigious dance school in the world and was dancing like Pearl.
