This was a return to form after a few episodes that had me losing a bit of interest.

Everyone was quite good to very good, and the Rusical was a good take for what it was; it at least admitted to falling into every previous DR trope.

Danny seems like such an obvious winner but I still love Dakota in spite of her hating musicals and show tunes. The lip sync was great on both their parts.

Also glad that Le Fil is still here and struggled with her critiques after a pretty faultless performance and a stunning runway.

Jonbers remains v annoying in talking heads but came off as more likeable this week and had a very good perf.
 
Second delightful episode in a row! The musical was definitely one of the better ones and everyone was good-great.

I imagine Ru would have saved Baby, as Dakota seemed to lose the words a few times, but she certainly held her own. The fake Ginny Lemon moment was fabulous, and as I’m not familiar with the song it genuinely surprised me.

And Danny! Just streamrollering it so far. That Little Shop of Horrors runway made me so, so happy. :D
 
I felt bad for Le Fil who I thought was easily in the top 3.

I would have wanted them to keep both and then next week get rid of Jonbers who was good this week but it’s a dead end.

The cast is just so much better than last season. Remember Scarlett and Ella, god they were awful compared to this lot (only Kitty was memorable).
 
Despise JONBERS, but she did great this week, which is to be expected seeing as she’s constantly turned up to 11.
 
I would’ve anticipated a double save and an even 8 queens left for snatch game
 
I find it hard to believe she would’ve ditched Dakota, she’s a huge fan fave, which I know isn’t always evident during filming but surely Ru is astute enough to know this by now.
 
It looked like it was heading for a double save before the Baby moment but then again that was clearly pre-planned anyway so who knows.

I don’t know if I’m enjoying this season much more than S3, but the cast is certainly a step up. At least there are a few queens in this line-up you can believe actually do this for a living.
 
I was losing interest, luckily we got a Rusical which fell the right side of terrible and absurd, the live singing was a terrible idea and they are VERY LUCKY everyone was as good as they were.
 
Everyone was good indeed but I really didn’t care for that Rusical. The episode is still worth it for that LIPSYNC! And twist in the end! I am however a little bothered it took away from us an actual verdict from Ru.
 
Le Fil’s judging was ridiculous, high praise and no concrete negative comments besides, we wanted to see more of YOU in it :)
 
With Le Fil I think it was just a case of them not having anybody else to put in the bottom. Everyone aside from Dakota and Baby was really good.
 
No, Baby, No, you didn't win that and yes I'm basing my own verdict on that one gag from Dakota. Did not like or know the song, so it worked on me tenfold.

Danny Beard (love the pun) is pulling ahead so effortlessly and I love the schtick.

The one who keeps trying to make "fumin" happen is trying oh so hard in the talking heads, I almost think they're dumbing themselves down to do so. It is like watching them half stuck down a plughole with the self-deprecation they've opted for.

I definitely have my eye on Cheddar as they surely do have much more up their sleave and if tested it would probably be quite something.

I'm surprised Blinky went last week as the show seemed to be leaning on them quite heavily for their talking heads. I mean, I disliked all of them that they gave, but their depressed-twerk exit was a delight and they did offer a comparatively unique silhouette.

I wouldn't have had Dakota in the bottom as she nailed the affectation in the challenge whereas LeFill got absolutely no hits despite a bigger part.

I didn't think anyone was necessarily bad in that challenge though, and whilst Baby didn't maintain the delivery in my opinion, I thought they were far better than Pepper (who I'm guessing avoided bottoming as D and B have a close bond?) Not that I think BP could have been beat - they remain the most exciting even if the consistency isn't there, and when it's not the star power remains switched very much on.

I did wonder if we would finally get a "live" musical. They never are, so without making a knowing joke about it I don't see why they keep billing it as such. Given how the bottoms battle it out, I think we'd be okay with them not pretending it's sung live.

The musicals remain weak though. Cannot wait for Snatch, Mel B, AJ and Baga's effortless cameo. I can wait for Tess.
 
This was such an enjoyable episode! The first rusical I like in years, I think. And I love Danny and Dakota so much, and they were featured heavily!

Dakota absolutely won that lip sync for me, despite Baby being a better performer.

Poor Le Fil I quite understand why it didn’t go all the way, I thought she was a bit dead behind the eyes while performing. I would have put her as safe though instead of Pepper.

I hated Cheddar’s so called French accent.

Dakota is the ANGELICA PICKLES of drag. The second the prissy bitch didn't get that part, she went SOUR :disco:

She SLAYED the lip-synch. She IS the gay boy fantasy. My top fave now. And Baby's exit was bittersweet.

What a brilliant episode.
