I thought this was a great episode! I mean, I will never understand the judging on the makeover challenges fully, but the bottom two were the right bottom two I think, and the winner was absolutely fair.

Maxi will be missed as she brought a lot of light to the show, but I'm enjoying how shady everyone is, and in spite of the ropiness and strange decision I think it's been a fun season overall. More enjoyable than Season 13 overall, Symone aside.

The lip sync was GREAT. I'm losing the resentment towards Scarlet doing well because it is a TV show, she'll get villified by social media anyway, she probably won't win, and she's really quite good.
 
Pretty much agreed. The episode felt like it flowed much better this week. I was sad to see Maxi go but I can't say it wasn't fair - she had by far the worst pair of outfits, and Scarlet really slayed the lip sync.

Nice to see Kita on the rise, but I don't understand why Karen was top two with that boring look.

I'm starting to fear Karen is going to do a Trixie and just be arbitrarily announced as the winner despite being underwhelming for the entire season, on the basis that that's clearly what was written in the cards before they started filming.
 
This isn't on iPlayer yet? Is the lip sync viewable anywhere?

Considering the treatment Scarlet got last week from Ru at judging about blackface, I don't think Karen is going to win - unless it is addressed first and a decision that it has been 'dealt with', anyway.

I'd quite LIKE her to win, if only because I saw her in 2019 as part of Bob's Comedy Funhouse tour, with The Vivienne. It would be nice to think I'd seen three winners on the same bill.
 
Surely if Karen was going to be made to answer for her own racist past, it would have been brought up at the same time as Scarlet?

I dunno, I just get the vibe that they're giving her a far too easy ride.
 
Also I don’t think the two incidents are of similar gravity (both are racist but there are levels I guess).

Anyway, decent episode with the right winner.

That's what I would have thought. But the fact that it's out there and so far hasn't been addressed makes me think that if she does get to the final three, assuming they have filmed the three endings, they won't be letting her have the win, given that Scarlet had to face Ru with what she had done, and Karen hasn't had to confront it on camera.
 
Scarlet's lip sync was supreme. And Max didn't give up either, so despite having no chance it made it one of the more satisfying numbers in a long time.

I enjoyed the episode a lot and 4 of the Falcons and 5 of the pit crew even more so.

I watched on TV with a 480p upload, which was like a season 1 filter, so it did make me nostalgic for more innocent Drag Race times in more ways than one.

I did laugh at Art insisting her partner's eyebrows still weren't dry and Karen FF thinking she was top 2.
 
Was there a reason Elektra and her rugby player were dressed as Miss Fame's entrance look from season seven? It's a good look and all, I was just a bit confused :D
 
I've binged all the episodes this week, so forgive me for still not being over it, but the only downside to this episode was every time Art Simone was on screen (which was a lot) and wondering why on earth she was there. Since, y'know, her being brought back was never actually explained.

I don’t dislike Art, but her “That means NOTHING” exit would have been so much more iconic had she not been immediately crowbarred back in.

A true shark-jump moment.
 
The winner runway looks is my favourite family resemblence look for a very long time! Well deserved win.

Elektra continues to bring it for me. I don’t care what Michelle thought, I found their look second best. And I like that Elektra (in drag) always looks a bit like Uma Thurman. :disco:
