Lawrence winning , I’m sick to DEATH of her and her forced edit/personality. A’Whora absolutely should’ve won that challenge and failing her I’d have put Tayce or Sister Sister as winner.

Ginny should’ve been B2, she was saved cos she wore some padding. The outfit was gross and so homemade. Asttina’s was basic but at least it was well constructed and actually suited her.

Rankings:

1. Tayce
2. A’Whora

3. Tia
4. Bimini
5. Veronica
6. Ellie

7. Ginny
8. Sister Sister

9. Lawrence

1. Asttina
2. Cherry
3. Joe

And Asttina won the lip sync for me, her routine worked better with the song.

tbh im very meh about Asttina leaving, she was probably one of the more boring girls there, her looks each week were good but never stunning. I do think she served more in the lip sync however.

I still cant warm up to Tayce or Awhora.. they just seem like the typical "im pretty so its okay" type queens.

I really loved Bimini's runway. Lawrence, Ellie, Awhora and Sister all did a great job too.

whats up with Lawrences boy hair? is it a wig or what? it looks so weird and wrong idk.

I liked seeing a more 'real' side to Ginny tonight, shes been the typical Baga Chipz comedy character so far so its good to see the real person behind the act. Her and Biminis talk was cute.

I really enjoyed the ep, the UK drag race is so much better than the US one tbh. Season 13 is so bloody boring compared to this.

my overall ranking of the gals;
1. Bimini
2. Lawrence
3. Sister
4. Ginny
5. Tia
6. Ellie
7. Veronica
8. Tayce
9. Asttina
10. Awhora

Ugh I love Tia so much

Ellie should have won over Laurence, but A’whora should have won overall

The result was shocking, I'm a Tia fan but I thought that Asttina's lipsync was much stronger, I'm glad Tia stayed but it does feel quite wrong. Ginny had a good episode in making her a lot more likable but, really, she should have lipsynced. Her look literally was just a piece of fabric. It should have been Tia and Ginny with Ginny probably going home, since I doubt she's much of a lipsyncer.

I did love Tia's take on her outfit though, 'I'm serving you an adequate dress, made of material that is on my body.' Ugh, a queen.

Lawrence was probably the right winner, A'whora's look was more fashionable but Lawrence's look was better put together. As much as I love Tayce, it's a surprise that the judges didn't read her for the outfit, it looked like a damn mess and there was string hanging off of it.

I'm so confused. I've never been so baffled by a lipsync result... I genuinely assumed it'd be a double shantay. All I can guess is that they kept Tia because she's going to create friction backstage (not herself, but through A'Whora being a petty mess). For Asttina to be the queen who has the quickest elimination after winning episode one feels pretty wrong.

I did generally enjoy the episode. Getting to know a real side to Ginny was welcome, and I felt quite sorry for her... I know I've complained about her drag before but I don't think it's right of the show to frame her style of drag as "people who don't love themselves" indirectly. I also enjoyed Lawrence a little more but the production is still ridiculously in her favour.

It's a shame the outfits were judged in pairs because I think a lot of the "better" looks might have ended up in the bottom positions too... Veronica's was basic as hell, and Sister's was pretty ugly and I'm getting tired of her blue makeup. I also preferred Ellie's to Lawrence's, but for me, my winner was Bimini. Her gown was embellished, her hair was great, she looked expensive and I really enjoyed the whole look.

It's hard to agree with the bottom two because Ginny stepped so far out of her comfort zone, but at the same time had probably the worst put-together look... so I'm torn about her placement, tbh.

All in all, up to me...

Winner: Bimini
High: A'Whora & Ellie
Safe: Tayce, Lawrence, Veronica
Low: Asttina & Sister
B2: Ginny & Tia

...I don’t know how much more my heart can take this week I wouldn’t have wanted Tia to go, either...Tia’s was the better creation, I thought...but Asstina’s lipsync was so heartfelt ....although I like Tayce and her outfit, there were similarities to last week so surely that would have put it in the bottom two...?....and Veronica, I would have said that hers was less creative than Tia’s...anyway, the judges chose who they chose...

...Ginny......and Bimini also......so emotional....


...I really don’t like these twists at all, COVID has given us enough twist on life and twist with our emotions so please stop...

...best runways for me were Lawrence, Ellie, A’Whora and Bimini...I thought that all runways were much better than last week though...

It was a cute episode, I enjoyed all of them this week.
But the result was so confusing??? I really thought Ru saved Tia first in a "Latrice vs Monique" double shantay dramatic moment thing. The lipsync was good but not deserving of a double shantay anyway.
And then Ru really sends Asstina home?? Her outfit was basic but not bad bad, neither was Tia's anyway. Ginny's was the worst but I understand Ru saving her so they can build confidence and because she made the effort to really step out out of their comfort zone. I also understand Ru saving Tia too, she's so likeable and funny and charming.
Tough week for the results, but I'm overall kind of confused.

Sister Sister and Veronica should have been bottoms because they were not great either.

Bimini was my winner this week, followed by Ellie and Lawrence. I see why Lawrence won, that gown was really good, but to me Bimini's was better.

...yeah, Bimini’s was outstanding, I thought...and her support with Ginny when Ginny just so needed to open her heart...was just so lovely, also......

...it’s difficult with Ginny as well because the outfit itself was probably one of the bottom two...but because she pushed herself so much out of her comfort zone, it would have been crushing to see her feel ‘rejection’...I want to see her go further and really rock those heels and those curves and see her blossom like a beautiful butterfly...

The talk between Bimini and Ginny was so lovely and not overdone or made for editorial purposes

Tia nailed the comedy in her performance but I do think Asttina performed better overall.

Tia's one of my faves so I'm happy she stayed but I am confused as to why they could justify Asttina losing that lipsync.
