Bimini killed it. I thought tayce was really funny even more then Lawrence I think. Ellie put up a fight in that lip sync. The crown has to go to Bimini surely she’s made a gap between her and Lawrence now.

Also does tayce have the most lip sync wins in a season, not including finale lip syncs

Suprise suprise, tayce is in the bottom two

Suprise suprise, tayce stays.

Last week I could say with 99% confidence that drag race production has a racial bias

This week I can say it with 100% confidence.

I love Tayce but Awhora should be top 3.

A well deserved double chantay imo. Another cute acting challenge, Bimini and Tayse were my favourites overall so they’re my top two to win

Oh and ??? @ the guest judge, I thought they were getting an actual well known person but I guess they were just on about Sonia. The mannequin sounded like Frank more than Mick, especially during judging

Fantastic episode from start to finish. The acting challenge was too OTT but there's little point fighting that lately; Michelle is going to find funny what she finds funny. All 4 were good in the challenge, so I would have thought the route would be to go down the "who struggled the most?" one, resulting in a Scottish bottom two.

I was a little annoyed by Tayce being read for the runway when she was... literally a pantomime Tinkerbell of sorts. You have pantomime dames, sure, but that wasn't the theme; there's always a pretty young actress playing the protagonists. If anything the one queen I thought looked bad was Bimini it was just... ugly, not an exaggerated panto look at all I also didn't see the need for the sewing machine on Lawrence's head...

That lipsync song an absolute banger, the best of Steps' career.

Happy enough with the result... Ellie obviously has no chance at winning now, but she put in a good challenge and lipsync performance so I won't argue against her staying. Tayce is now the only queen to survive 4 lipsyncs in the same season* a legend. Coco, Heidi, Ra'Jah and Darienne survived three.

*Kameron did too (Monet, Eureka, Cracker, Asia) but they included the finale twist so it doesn't count

...I loved Tayce’s Tinkerbell, she was a violet vision......Ellie’s was my least favourite outfit because it was a bit uninspired..the runway theme in general though, I think was one of my least favourites...but great episode overall, I loved Beastenders......they were all terrific...and a great top 3......


...Ellie.....

Little to argue about this episode. It was great from start to finish.
The bottom 2 was obvious given the performances, though I didn't enjoy Lawrence as much as I wanted to in an acting challenge. But I'm splitting hairs here, all of them were very good.
I knew it was going to a double shantay regardless of who was in the bottom 2 the second Michelle said it was one of the best acting challenges ever.
Ellie has no chance of winning at this point, just like Tayce. But I really enjoy watching them both so I don't mind a top 4.

There was a turning point for Ru loving Bimini more than Lawrence and it started in the Snatch Game, then last week, and this week completely solidified Bimini as the winner.
I can't see them losing at this point? And tbh I'm not mad at it. Bimini showed so much growth and talent. A very well deserved winner.
Lawrence dropped the ball and it's too late to pick it up. She'll make a good runner-up and an obvious candidate for a UK/International AS season.

A very strong episode despite the challenge ultimately being a waste of the source material. I did like the fact that there wasn't a 'trap' role though designed to put one queen in the bottom, and that every role basically got the same amount of material.

The looks were pretty good on the runway although I was confused as to why Tayce got read so much when I thought they said that the theme was panto, not specifically panto dame, or maybe I misheard, idk.

The bottom 2 was hard to call but I disagree, in particular, with Tayce being there. I think the bottom should have been Ellie and Lawrence. Ellie didn't do bad but given her track record, it was time for her to lipsync, while Lawrence was just fine, and a bit unmemorable when compared to the others.

It was a good lipsync though, and I wouldn't have minded losing Ellie if it wasn't a double Shantay, she's lovely but I feel like we've seen everything she had to give, and although she was not one of my biggest favourites, A'whora was a stronger contender and still had more to give, I think.

It's a very strong top 4 though, but Bimini is the correct choice to win.

I do feel bad for Ellie because she (IMO) has no place in the final, and she’s now having to watch the others get so much support in comparison to her (i.e: Bimini getting 28k likes on the #teambimini tweet, and Ellie barely scraping 1k likes).

I think Ellie needs some more time to find out who Ellie is, if that makes sense. Her looks are really good, she's a great makeup artist and is a very kind person. She proved she can lipsync and could deliver nice moves. I particularly appreciate the fact she does everything on her own which is refreshing compared to what is mainly happening in America where it's all about designers and teams working for a queen.
