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.
