I enjoyed that episode a lot. Thought Rita a very worthy winner. To pick up on wurst's point last week, Priyanka had loads of confessional time again - particularly as she was essentially safe (although by the comments I'm sure she would have been High had they not ushered Rita's whole team through). Loved Stacey mentoring the catwalk.

As far as Jeffrey's 'losing Jimbo' comment, I just get the impression (particularly with what we saw in the Untucked segment) that she was just drained from working with Ilona, who I've been finding increasingly unbearable since the start. Jimbo's face/wig/arms thing really did let him down though.

I actually thought the lipsync was pretty good from both of them, but was kind of hoping for a double sashay anyway. Ilona has become pretty insufferable and I neither enjoy looking at her (in or out of drag) or listening to her. I thought Tynomi edged the lipsync, but I couldn't cope with another week of that narrative.
 
I really liked this too. The two latest episodes have been really good and quite throwbacky.

Loving Priyanka. Loving Stacey even more.
 
Another week of Brooke Lynn looking a bit rough. And from the look of the preview, more of the same next week. It's obviously a CHOICE, but I don't understand why.
 
Ilona’s fake crying was hilarious. The way she was scream crying while Tynomi was trying to talk....what an ass.

I thought Jimbo looked awful, the dress was so shapeless and that white make up so harsh.

Flattered that somebody listens to my overlong and frequently WINE FUELLED ramblings :D :eyes:

For the first time so far, I wish we'd had a full length Untucked. It felt like a very brief edit, and I would have liked to have seen more than about 60 seconds of it.
 
Also it drove me insane that both Ilona and Tynomi were not wearing nails and they kept doing close ups of their stubby fingers
 
Another great episode. I did want more bitching and less catwalk practice. Good lip sync, fun messy outfits, drama... Love it.
 
Snapped out of my crush on Jeffrey. At least Ru sounds a little bit genuine when saying his tailored goodbye quip.

One thing I hate during a lip sync is a queen copying another's nove. I felt Ilona was winning up until Tynomi did some vogueing, but when she too copied the cheerleader poms poms I wanted her to go again.

I just love Stacey, I want to look at her and listen to her as much as possible.

I liked that they seemed to be showing multiple body types among the pit crew, but why stop at just 1? I hate being told there is only one standard of sex appeal. Yes, great abs, but that's the last thing I'd state on my Huns4Cum profile :)
 
This was a good episode, I think the lack of a scripted challenge helped.

I thought the plastic group did great - although I preferred Scarlett BoBo’s look to Rita’s. I’d love to see BoBo’s drag with a bit more budget, she’s becoming my fave as there’s definitely creativity there (although I’d be scared what more money would do to her FACE)

They are so reliant on Priyanka for confessionals it’s kind of hilarious, particularly with this many queens still in the competition :D

Make it Stacie’s Drag Race already :disco:
 
BoBo is like a young Barry Manilow mixed with Jack McFarlane.

I loved Jimbo's first reply to the petulant polar bear queen.
 
Scarlett has emerged as easily the most intriguing queen there. Jimbo was rough this week (I did like the dress, weird midsection aside) and just a bit empty energy wise, but again I'm putting that down to having to work with Ilona.

Snatch Game next week really ought to separate the remaining girls. I'd be surprised if Jimbo doesn't do really well, after his performance last week. I just hope he does someone I know.
 
I've seen a lot of people online moaning about Tynomi leaving. I can understand being perhaps not being happy with the result of the lipsync (I don't think there was too much in it), but really? Based on the challenge I'd say she deserved bottom two sure enough. And why she was so happy to go along with Ilona's ideas I do not know.

Like I said, I'm glad she's gone because I couldn't stand another week of that narrative and the other girls' reactions to her supposed legendary status.
 
Did Tynomi Banks serve ANYTHING aside from a couple of decent lipsyncs..? :D Local legend is fine, but you have to be able to bring SOMETHING!

Brooke Lynn’s Hocus Pocus look next week looks like an absolute hot mess :D Just stick on a blonde wig and play to your strengths!

The lipsync also reminded me I never want to hear Girlfriend EVER EVER AGAIN!

That look in the instagram post above is shite.

Like all those 'what I would have worn' posts a lot of eliminated queens post. Not that I believe a lot of them in any case, but even after all this time, THAT'S the best you have come up with?
 
Oh and agreed re the extended Untucked with Jimbo and Illona - didnt Charlie Hides have almost EXACTLY the same exchange with another portly irritant in whatever season she was on..? :D

Wow SO MANY THOUGHTS on this show this week :bruised:
 
I thought Kelly Osborne was fine last episode but this time she really outcunted everyone else. All that fake crying before the lipsync too. :zombie:

Jeffrey is absolutely cancelled. The ”sass” is not working, he’s just mean.

I thought Pryianka’s outfit was one of the worst. She looked horrible and cheap. And don’t get me started on Lemon’s wig.

Great episode. I agree, this feels like classic era drag race.

I was a little confused by the high praise Priyanka got (as was she, evidently). I thought her dress looked really unshapely. I guess she did sell it well.

Ilona was unbearable, but the fake crying *snaps into performance mode* thing cracked me up. It's healthy for the show to have an antagonist, and clearly several of the other girls can't fucking stand her. :D

Jeffrey really needs to fuck off. He was so RUDE to Jimbo, and not in a funny way.

Did anyone recognise the guest judge for next week? I thought for a moment it was Roseanne Barr, which would certainly be a CHOICE :D
 
Jeffrey is getting a deserved backlash on the Twitterverse, and I will echo the general feeling by saying that to get to give feedback is a privilege and should never be abused. I would say that although Michelle is harsh at times she doesn’t cross the line of just trying to get a cheap shot in - in fact I think she is fully aware and accepting of how bad some of her choice words will make her look, but she says them anyway because she genuinely wants the queen to improve.

Add me to the list of people enjoying it and every single comment I want to make has been made above, so to reiterate quickly:

1. Brooke Lynn- STATE OF IT
2. Jeffrey- CUNT OF IT
3. Ilona- DREADFUL IT (but keep her in for the LOLs)
4. Pit Crew Body Shape- TOKEN IT, should have been more
5. Stacey- QUEEN OF IT
6. Guest Judge- I'D FUCK IT
7. Challenge- THROWBACK IT. Why don't they do this sort of stuff on the main series anymore when it works so well? It's so much fun and better than the damned acting challenges

As you were.
 
I don't like how JBC is coming across either but it does feel a bit as though he's been told to be the mean one and he's playing a role. He never comes across as anything other than positive and complimentary in interviews and podcasts.

I think on some level there's an acceptance of her history with drag and her work with the girls as well, so she can be seen to have earned the right to comment. I'm not familiar with Jeffrey at all beyond Drag Race and American Horror Story, but what qualifies him to be so harsh, exactly?
