RPDR CAN S01E09: Snow Ball

[AGinAg (37)]

Just watching now

 

[RS]

Dreadful results but there’s no denying in Rita’s and Jimbo’s horrible bottom ball couture and Jimbo’s underwhelming lip sync.

It’s a shame all the good songs were used in the first episodes.

Well, I’m assuming the absolute worst possible outcome based on what you’ve just said. If Jimbo’s gone and that Bobo one is still in, I’ll shit a brick.

Jimbo’s exit

Jimbo’s exit

Fucking amazing. When someone has dominated every performance challenge, it should be illegal to send them home on a wearing clothes challenge.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Jimbo was the worst, and she limped out the lip sync (to an amazing song), but the final won't be the same with her. Her departure was iconic. Get her on All Stars with a budget ASAP.

Sorry didn’t mean to spoil it for you. We usually don’t read the threads unless we’ve watched the episode.

 

[Phoenix]

Fucking bullshit. They all looked a mess and that lipsync song was awful.

I can’t believe dreary Bobo made it to the finale.

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

OMG as IF they wheeled out the childhood photos in Canada too /

Oh no, I like spoilers. I read the boot order for the first few episodes before watching just to make sure Jimbo wasn’t an early exit.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I really enjoyed having Michelle on the panel. I think she should have a bigger part of the international editions even if Ru can't be fucked.

I am of course distraught at the result and am entering a period of mourning.

 

[Superstylin']

Gutted Jimbo has gone but that exit was iconic! Though I suppose it makes it easier for me getting behind a Rita win!

 

[Whatevar]

COME ON REET!

 

[Berly]

Bobo to win!

purely to give the rest of the Top 5 a shot at AllStars.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Rita MUST WIN!

 

[lolly]

I think Priyanka is getting the crown. And I certainly won't be mad about it.

 

[straightorbroken]

I was convinced that would be a double save. Anyone but Bobo for the win basically.

Say what you want about Jeffrey, but I was squeeling at his scripted run through of who was safe. I suspect what he's going for has just gone horribly wrong. The razorblade smile he gave Bobo is what properly set me off.

 

[Dark Carnival]

How was Priyanka safe in that corset and paper dress she made?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I love Jimbo

 

[VoR]

OMG that exit!

Obviously I was gutted to lose her, but WHAT a way to go out. And then doing a WILD AT HEART tribute in the mirror, because OF COURSE Jimbo is a David Lynch fan.

 

[ButterTart]

How was Priyanka safe in that corset and paper dress she made?

I like her a lot, but I thought that. I also thought Bobo looked like shit in her second and third outfits and only got the win for storyline purposes and to justify her getting the crown next week.

 

[VoR]

Bobo would be such a disappointing winner. Yes, she's been very consistent, but compared to the other three (including Jimbo) what iconic moments has she really served?

I’ve bulk watched it this week, and it’s easy to completely forget she’s even there at times. I assume she’s even less memorable for people who’ve waited a week between episodes.

 

[Whatevar]

I think she’s safely coming third

 

[Dark Carnival]

Bobo’s not winning

 

[lolly]

As much as Jimbo clearly lost that lipsync, a final without him in it is going to feel hollow.

 

[Sheena]

How was Priyanka safe in that corset and paper dress she made?

Because her other two looks were a LOT better than the others. None of Jimbo or Rita's really hit the spot at all...

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

I don’t think they will crown Bobo, as much as I like her. IMAGINE the unwarranted hate that would come her way...

 

[ButterTart]

Bobo’s not winning

She's had a very positive edit over the past couple of episodes - there's just something telling me to brace for disappointment.

 

[lolly]

I think Priyanka and Rita are going to have to fuck up majorly for BoBo to win it. Yes, she's had a positive edit, but she's needed that to justify making the final.

 

[Sheena]

Priyanka surely? Rita’s has a terrible couple of weeks and will have to pull it out of the Baga next week for the title. Of course, she’s more than capable of that...

 

[jyxz]

Priyanka is a great talking head, but surely she’s not the top Canadian Queen.....

Rita has surely got it in the bag(a).

 

[Diddy]

Mm well no love lost to Jimbo, but he should've gotten further than Bobo. THAT SAID, Bobo did do the best / the least worst this week. The others had varying degrees of fuckups in individual looks, though nobody was a triple boot. Priyanka would've probably won apart from the last look. I'm glad Rita's in at least.

1) Priyanka - Entertaining, likeable and creative (except in ad lib challenges, weirdly). She has a different energy to queens I've seen before, and I'm hoping for a win.

2) Rita - Love her, the grumpy old bag, but she seems genuinely lovely and I like her style of embracing the rotted (occasionally ending up actually rotted, though). It also makes her lip syncs more interesting in contrast.

3) Scarlett - Well, I don't really dispute how it went this week, but 5th would've been preferably, with Lemon likely going against Jimbo this week instead. Her character and appeal is based mostly on noisy commentary and talking about punk rock (is that just code for torn and messy?). She did well to come 3rd this season.

For me, Scarlett has likability but not much creativity. Jimbo was the opposite, and Rita & Priyanka have them both.

A decent episode, even if most of the first act was just shouting about challenge wins and being in the top 4. Visage was just usual, what can I say? I really notice how much more I enjoy the episodes that aren't JBC-centric. It's interesting that each episode is led by one judge - I wonder how it would be if it was mixed up a bit more?

 

[straightorbroken]

Priyanka being a dork makes her one of the most adorable queens ever in those moments. Even when I don't like her runways, Baga still resembles a flamboyant statue of liberty with her face made of marble and shoulders a bison would look dainty next to. She's very statuesque and has let the viewer in emotionally without appearing manipulated by their story editor or whatever their job title is.

 

[Sheena]

Surely the final task will suit Priyanka best too? And Rita least, you’d think...

The energy very much reminds me of Adore.

 

[Diddy]

yeah I get that, maybe Priyanka is a more focused on the win than Adore was

Yes. Plus the fact that there ain't no Bianca in the mix.

 

[Suomi]

I thought this too - loveable airheads (who are actually v smart)
