i can't help but feel they edited this together attempting to make Tamisha the villain, when the opposite could not be more true

Always love the design challenges, particularly the balls so I’m excited

Kandy needs to go ASAP.

i'm picturing a season now where a queen wins literally every single challenge and still ends up losing the final in a lipsync twist

...LaLa Ri......I’m so glad she won that, she was definitely the best for me and she’s becoming one of my favourites...

Lala Ri should have been sent home without lipsyncing just for wearing the worst look on the runway ever. And I mean EVER. At least Joey's was more tight.
Or Ru should have stopped that lipsync when Lala's outfit was degrading every second and was looking like a hot mess.

Kandy is ruining this season for me. It's Silky all over again, and the way she went crazy on Untucked is unbearable. Disappointed in Tina and Gottmik being her followers and approving Kandy like little dogs. She's rude and overall a mean person.

Gottmik's last look bored me tbh. Utica should have won the whole challenge. Her last look was insane! Gottmik's second look was incredible, but overall I feel like Utica did more.

It's one of the best balls in RPDR herstory but it also gave the worst look too It's a solid cast overall, and most of the safe queens could have been in the top (except Symone and Tina).

...I haven’t watched the episode yet...but I’m thinking by what you’ve said, Remy...that because I don’t watch Untucked, I’m not really seeing the full thing or getting to know the girls and their characters fully etc......

I've only seen their looks on Twitter but I'm mystified how Denali didn't even make the top 3? She was the winner for me, and I don't even like her that much

Denali should have been there instead of Rosé.

It was a pretty meh ball episode overall I thought. The like "rich business woman" category is so overdone now and the idea of bags didn't really excite me that much.

100% agree with people saying Denali should've been top 3 (and maybe even won imo) 3 very successful looks!
Gottmik's first 2 looks were great but I really don't get her last look? Like it was kinda just straps... I'm almost certain if say Kandy or Tina came out in that they would be read to filth.

Utica's last look should've secured her the win even if her first 2 weren't quite as great as Gottmik's

I like how Gottmik has redeemed herself from last week, my winner this episode would have been Utica. Incredible!

Impressed by Denali, Symone, Olivia and Rose

That last Lala Ri dress was.. a choice (although her bald headed look was one of my favourites)

Lip sync was fun and a decent song! Hopefully Lala comes out swinging next week

BLM part was cute also

...yeah, for me also...especially with females, it’s often so much about the hair and weave etc and obviously that’s embodied hugely in drag...(...literally huge hair...)...so La La doing it for the ladies in looking so incredibly amazing in being hair free, such a Queen.....

They've uploaded all looks to YouTube, and the lipsync again

I just saw the untracked clip. Really don’t like Kandy Muse but sending her mum death threats is scary.

I can't be doing with Kandy. She's awful and I can forgive a ****ty personality alittle if there is amazing drag but she's not shown much above basic for me.

I thought Utica and Rose were the best this week, yeah Rose's moneybags was a little basic but the reference was really good, I think it just needed a bit more exaggerating to make it a wow

Just watched the episode. At this point I need Kandy gone or S13 is very quickly going to go down the S11 route... she attracts terrible allies (I thought Tina was supposed to be smart!?) and I can sense that all of those that go against her (Joey, Elliott, Tamisha) will be eliminated relatively early on. Every talking head makes my blood boil. She's incoherent at best, and ****ing grating and a narcissistic, bullying **** at worst.

I stand by what I said about the Ball... Denali was robbed, hardcore, especially when a top 3 slot was given arbitrarily to Rose who had... two "okay" looks Symone would've been my choice for bottom three over Tamisha as well: I don't know how her "Money Bags" look was ANYTHING to do with the challenge in any conceivable world, her main look was extremely underwhelming, and I don't remember the first one but I do remember thinking "this... sucks". And you know I stan the girl! Nicole Byers saying Tamisha "just looked like a businesswoman" when the category was literally that... do you not know what 'realness' means, woman? Silly bitch. I otherwise enjoy her regular presence

Enjoyed the BLM discussion a lot, and not just because it was the one segment where Kandy was mostly silent. Lala's tears were hard to watch, and just really goes to show what it's like to live as a black person in America right now (constant fear, walking on eggshells, unsure how best to act to avoid harassment/death). I also really enjoyed the Ball scene; it was a great dose of fun (Lala whipping her wig around, Joey underwhelming, Tamisha MCing )

I do fear though that I am rapidly losing queens I like.

My rankings on the episode:

Winner: Utica (the "campy presentation" comment from Ru was ridiculous considering it's....drag.)
High: Denali & Gottmik (I didn't care for her final look tbh)
Safe (in order): Elliott, Olivia, Rose, Kandy, Tamisha & Tina
Low: Symone
Bottom Two: Joey & Lala

Great lipsync again though; Joey gave a good fight but pretty much handed the win to Lala the second she threw that money in the air to almost no reaction I screamed when Lala picked up tips though, and she was otherwise excellent and really proved why she won against Denali in the first episode.

...I just watched the lipsync again...By the end, all that was left of LaLa’s look was her fabulous personality...she really was magnificent in the most messy way.....

As much as I love Lala, she got off all too easy for what she served it. It was by far the most hideous design challenge 'garment' ever presented on the runway and it looked like it would have taken 20 minutes to do. She deserved to be in the bottom 2, and I'm glad she was because she slaughtered that lipsync and made it look effortless

Kandy Muse... I like an entertaining bitch, but she is not entertaining, she is obnoxious at best. She's got a hideous personality, a questionable taste level and she lowers every segment she appears in. It really bothers me how most of the 'big girls' they cast now in the US series are Silky/Eureka-esque characters who are just aggravating to watch. I also think her look should have been a bottom 3 look over Tamisha's tbh. Tamisha's looks were very safe and her third look wasn't great but you couldn't tell it was made from bags by looking at it, and the craftmanship was excellent. She should have been safe as **** while Kandy should have been in the bottom since she cut up some backpacks and roughly sewed them back together. It looked like something I'd have cobbled together and I haven't touched a sewing machine since I was 13 (and I was **** at it back then).

The Bottom was mostly correct apart from that though, the bottom 2 should have been Joey and Lala and the right person went home. Joey knew he was a filler queen going in and that prediction was entirely correct.

I'm not mad at Gottmik winning but Utica had the better constructed look. Gott's was good, don't get me wrong, but it felt all too simple, it was pieces of fabric on strings, well constructed but very simple considering that Utica came out with a stupidly well constructed winter ball gown looking thing. Gott's look was good, Uttica's was great.

I understand why people are saying Lala's was the worst creation of all time, but I think time might be clouding some, uh, memorable looks.

Spoiler:






bearing in mind she actually got fabrics instead of bags

God that feather look, ugh, don't remind me.

I think Lala comfortably tops the table of **** when it comes to worst design challenge look though. Don't get me wrong, those three design looks from Selena, Mystique and Soju were bad but at least they didn't take a corset and attach 20 plastic bags to it and call it a day.

Those 3 looks were bad but at least they bothered were somehow someway thought out. Lala really has the worst one ever, she just glued some plastic bags over a corset.

......she was the best and the worst...maybe the worst in terms of bag lady outfit but picking up the cash and shuffling it into her corset, one of the best lipsync moments....

..Charisma - tick, yes ma’am.......
