WTF at that talent show?! :D Absolutely dreadful with the exception of Scarlet and to a lesser extent Kita and Elektra who were both bottom 2.

I'm now convinced Karen is the pre-ordained winner, because there's absolutely no way she should have escaped the bottom two with that complete dud of a performance.

Poor Elektra, clearly they were just gagging to get rid of her from the outset. I agree Kita's outfits were a bit busted but at least she put on an actual PERFORMANCE compared to Karen literally giving us nothing and... whatever that was that Art did.

I was a bit thrown that they're going straight to the finale next week but not mad TBH. Just wrap this shit up already.

#TeamKitaMean, for what it's worth.

This is so sad, I love Elektra so much. Has there ever been a more charming man on the show?

Karen not being in the bottom is fucking ridiculous. She hasn’t done anything remotely memorable on this show and even her first episode win felt undeserved.
 
The talent show was hilarious. :D

Karen as a sexy balloonist making one dog and then strolling off?

I'm holding out for an Art win. She's the most exciting/entertaining one there.
 
I LOVE Elektra! What a great reality show contestant. With better storyboarding they really could have given her an amazing Jinkx Monsoon-style underdog edit. Yes her drag is a bit crunchy, but she had a couple of cheap but pretty good looks too (the black raven thing, and Miss Fame make over).

WHO is meant to win this show? Does anybody even care? :D Based on performance alone Scarlet is the obvious winner, but absolutely doesn't deserve to considering her racist past (and it is properly gross and racist too if you read up on it, it wasn't just one insensitive look AT ALL).
I feel had Art just played to her strengths the entire competition she would have walked it, but she seems determined to "push herself" and try new things (which have all failed) throughout the entire run which has meant she's been a bit of a consistant flat-liner :D
Kita is nice, but bland and lets be real - she's absolutely NOT the next drag superstar of ANYWHERE. She's a good, lovely local queen.
I guess that leaves Karen - has she even done anything of note this entire COMPETITION? I can only remember her Tina Burner outfit and the week 1 runway.

That lip sync was super underwhelming too. Elektra's walking off fake-out would have been much more effective if she'd started properly turning it afterwards. But she just sort of half-heartedly wandered around the stage, and Kita wasn't a great deal better.
 
I mean Kita doesn’t stand a chance of winning so we’re left with the very racist one who’s done well, the less racist one who’s done nothing of note other than her name and the one that got brought back for no reason.

Which means I think Art is winning but this has to be the worst the show has ever been. A disgrace all around.
 
I’m still agog that:

a) Art actually thought she could get away with passing off SHOVING THINGS IN HER MOUTH as a talent

and

b) That she was right! :D

Utterly ridiculous. She didn’t even deep throat anything!
 
I thought Art was funny enough, it wasn’t about the food more about the performance.

It was better than Karen for sure.
 
Can we just bring back Anita please and crown her? I still can't understand that elimination and it's even more painful knowing Art Simone was brought back for absolutely no reason whatsoever and has given us VERY LITTLE except cute outfits and a couple of funny one-liners. That talent show was ridiculous and had the sort of critiques that avoided actually commenting much on the performance that only suits the chosen ones - for most others it could easily have been a ticket home.

Karen is BEYOND dreadful. Not even interesting talking head! Just terrible, terrible, and like Simone, given a pass week on week.

Scarlet is the clear winner, I think there's no denying it now but her tainted past may have put the nail in that coffin.

That leaves Kita. If Ru doesn't crown Scarlet, it's the only acceptable alternative. I don't think she deserved bottom 2 this week at all, it was probably second for me, the transitions were quite clever. I feel like she was put in the bottom 2 just so they could say all the finalists had been there. Hard to know what Ru will do here as sadly Scarlet is the only one who's done enough to really earn it. But equally, Kita has pissed all over Karen and Art...

But back to Anita...why would you send home your snatch game winner that early? When she didn't even deserve it. She didn't even deserve bottom 2 and she didn't even lose the lip sync. It's ruined it for me since then to be honest.
 
I've papped this on. Really hoping for a Jason Nevins remix of Everything I'm Not for the sync since easy Vs are webcaming.
 
Sure, Elektra is more my type, but I think Art is cute in a smurf way. Fit baldie pit crew guy (and the beefier one) I'd throw them all in Ru's fracking explosions to get to of course.
 
Raven's nose contoured to a pin from the front, then Dumbo from the side. What a talent with the make up. I'd buy his book just to read it in his voice.
 
Oh jeez at this Art workroom Ru edit. Just show what happened: snip it if you need to, but stop insulting the viewers ploise.
 
Surely all Karen Fist Fun needs to do is think good/bad/disco Karen from The Good Place. Or whatever she was called.
 
Could they not just do stand up? This is painful and I'm only 2 in (which is not something I'd usually say, etc).
 
Well Scarlett stepping out as Iris Krell was unexpected.

Art's Can't Speak French moment isn't so bad, but I feel like she's done one variation of the theme too many tonight.
 
Perhaps Cher was the reference point for Scarlett, but I'd have loved a savage and severe take on the Annie Lennox Diva imagery instead.
 
Is this supposed to feel like a dramatic lip sync line up? Just dollop KFF in there, she blew up a balloon for goodness.
 
I just caught up on the last 3 episodes finally, and HONESTLY WTF WAS THIS TALENT SHOW :D
Did they not TELL the queens this was coming up?

Karen making a single balloon poodle, and complaining that being asked to play sexy undermined her whole being - and then putting on the sexy outfit SHE BROUGHT
A balloon animal is about as basic a talent as you could imagine. Then Art put things in her mouth. Not very big things, and not very many of them. How was this even LESS impressive than the balloon poodle?
Ru doesn't like magic though, so bottom two for Kita. Didn't they have a whole magic show episode not two years before?!
Elektra shows an ACTUAL skill, but no, the wig was worse than Karen and Art so...

Thank Christ Scarlet had SOMETHING!
