Only just watched the episode. I'd been putting it off because I knew the result and how it'd crush me </3 I now wish I hadn't bothered at all.

The challenge itself was just boring. I love disco, I find the history of the genre interesting, and so I did enjoy the tribute in a sense... but unfortunately its utmost reverence for the history meant there was absolutely no room for comedy, for characters, for improvisation, or individual flair. Everyone just did a choreographed number and as a result the two weakest dancers stood out.

I don't really see what Olivia did this week that deserved the win; once again Denali has been robbed and I still don't even care for the girl Tina getting a high placement was largely due to the fact her two teammates sucked... I'm really getting ****ing tired of looking at Tina's incredibly mannish browline and misshapen pads. How the **** is she not being read for looking like a ****ing quarterback with a caveman face?! And that's without taking into account her tedious colour scheme repeating.

Gottmik's was brave and an interesting twist. I actually liked Kandy's but I hate the bitch so was pleased to see her torn apart. Rose's was absolutely hideous; the bitch needs to be told to stop throwing tulle on every single seam. Lala's was bad, Simone's was fine, Elliott's was poor.

I do like Utica but she was the clear worst in both challenge and runway, so she should've lipsynced 100%. Obviously the production is in hyperdrive this season and they had to keep her to keep the 12 year old Trixya stans who ~~~LOVE QUIRKY GIRLS~~~ happy.

oh and it goes without saying that Tamisha did the better lipsync (props to the cameramen for trying to cover up Kandy not knowing half the words, though!)

I liked the concept of Gott's outfit but at the end of the day, it was a pair of tit pasties and a bit of fabric on her genitals. She could have kept the same concept but with something more. I just kept thinking that if Lala Ri did the same thing last week with those bags, she would have been ripped to shreds.

I do like Gott, but I think it's clear that they are favouring her at this point. Apparently she has some sort of deal in place already for a documentary detailing her journey so I'm expecting the favourable edit will continue, I just hope this week was a blip more than anything, since she's done quite well so far.

I mean the whole point was to showcase their top surgery, so it would've been very different if Lala or someone else had done it, yes...

True, but she could have done that in a better garment. As I said, I like the concept but the execution was just too simple, too bland.

...I was just watching back, the little black dress runway...I mean, that should have been a category that held some stunning looks but it really was quite basic in parts...(...I’m so down with the drag speak, serving basic b*tch...)....obviously Utica, we loved, because serving Audrey Hepburn......Tamisha, I also thought was excellent and very Joan Collins and Dynasty...it was simple but isn’t that the point of the little black dress, elegant but simple yet glamorously drag and it was.......I do agree with Dezzy, I didn’t really feel Gott’s look at all and she’s such a style queen, it didn’t feel worthy of her, just a little unfinished and unpolished...

We're just going to have to disagree on this one lol. It was a comedic take on the "little" element of the dress and she looked great. Throw in the personal transformation side of it and it's a toot. Raja and Raven love it

Gottmik wasn't my fave but it wasn't the worst either. This whole week was lackluster anyway, they should redo that runway theme next season.
I think had they landed in the bottom they should have been read but they would not have because Ru loves a skinny queen wearing close to nothing because the queen has "legs and body".

Anyway, they need to replace Raven with Violet because she seems so unbothered and doesn't seem as into it as Raja is? She barely gives any reasons for her toots and boots.
Violet saying "no" on the Pit Stop for 26 minutes straight made this episode one of the most iconic ever.

yeah they also liked Rose's look so maybe I should've reconsidered that as evidence
