I’ve only seen one character so far, I’ll add more if I find them.

Jackie is doing Lisa Rinna and I hope she recreates this QoL moment


Heidi is doing Leslie Jones, also not confirmed but Jaida is probably doing Cardi B
 
Fuck me if he says volley one more time I’m gonna scream.
 
Gigi killed it. Amazing, one of the all timers. Jackie and Sherry were decent seconds. Heidi and Jaida were ok.

The Ike thing was bad, I’m surprised production allowed it. I’m over Jan. I assume Aiden, Brita and Crystal are the bottoms.
 
Lol, discount Let it Go :D

Aiden was lifeless as ever during the lipsync.
 
Crystal should have been bottom two, but obviously Brita vs Aiden was the reason they went with what they did and I was here for it...until they used that DISMAL song. Also, what was Brita's "magic trick" that you couldn't even see? :D. Still, the right person went home.

As for the Snatch Game, Gigi was the only one who knocked it out of the park, albeit that I imagined they edited Sherry down to the bare bones. Using the same joke twice was FAIRLY poor, though. I don't know anything about Lisa Rinna as a person, only her Melrose Place character, so I couldn't judge whether it was very good, but I did think the commitment was top notch and she was therefore a deserved third. Don't get me started on Widow kicking off about Brita being one note when her Tina Turner literally just waggled her head and licked her lips a few times.

Heidi annoyed me in the Snatch Game too. Leslie Jones would have been a HOME RUN after she was on a couple of weeks ago, but it was entirely underplayed. A couple of mildly funny lines, but I really thought she would be great. Pity.

Anyway, overall, my current ranking on FORM:

1. Gigi
2. Sherry
3. Jackie

4. Widow
5. Heidi
6. Jada
7. Jan

8. Crystal
9. Brita

In terms of likability, Brita really is a disgusting pig. She was just horrible again this week. I'd be ready for her to fuck off except for the fact that I think that grinning facade is just one more bottom result away from a breakdown and I'm HERE for that. Wonder who she will turn on now?
 
And I know it's all produced and scripted and BLAH BLAH BLAH but I wish they'd give up the sob story coming in ON CUE every episode. "I feel an affinity to Tina Turner because I had a rough life and ended up in abusive relationships with bad men...but then going on to talk about drinking day and night and nothing to DO with that" was possibly the most ludicrously forced YET.
 
The editing is really getting ridiculous. In the version I saw on wow+, they didn’t show Sherry’s runway walk. :argh:

Now that Gigi mastered Snatch Game too, she’s the clear winner of this season, with Sherry and Jackie/Widow behind.

I really hate Jan and her overeagerness. Her ”edgy” looks really don’t suit her.
 
I love Jan I feel like she’s being slept on.
Gigi can just be crowned now.

Same! I thought I missed it!

Thank fuck that talentless, dead-eyed waste of airtime Aiden is gone, and we can move on from that 'She has something special the other girls aren't seeing' narrative (she doesn't). That Let It Go performance was Charlie Hides levels of lifeless.

I don't like Brita, but she clearly won that lip sync hands down and it was a nice vindication for somebody who can at least deliver the bare minimum requirements of her job.
 
Yeah, they didn't show Sherry's walk- I thought that but I did wonder as Mr Sheena popped in so I thought I might just have missed it. RIDICULOUS.

Whilst I was far from an Aiden fan, he was WAY better than Brita last week and I don't think "vindication" comes into it. "Vindictiveness" does.
 
Other random thoughts

* I SCREAMED at The Widow Von Du's Kate Winslet on the liferaft realness. :D

* I also loved/hated Ru trying to force all the girls to be yoof-friendly reality TV stars. What a fucking sellout. I was cackling at Heidi's politely baffled "I don't know who Phaedra IS, so..." (not that her Leslie was very good, but at least she stuck to her guns. Same for Crystal who had already established she has never previously heard of DeBarge).

* Personally I'm a FAN of JAN, although her Bernadette Peters wasn't really giving me anything. It would've worked better if another queen had done Patti LuPone. Still, I find her very charming and likable.

Snatch Rank

1. Gigi
2. Jackie Cox
3. Sherry Pie
4. The Widow Von Du
5. Jan
6. Heidi
7. Jaida (Probably better than Heidi and Jan, but I honestly forgot she was even there)
8. Brita
9. Crystal Methd
10. Aiden
 
Did they edit out Sherry's runway on the episode on Netflix too, and on the US broadcast? I'm watching on WOW Presents and it was a step too far cutting her runway I think. Cutting her talking heads is the right thing to do, and at best she takes the Shuga Cain route to the top half of the competition. But cutting her runway is just drawing attention to her and the situation, and making the whole season look like it's been sliced apart at the last minute with a blunt knife. They were doing just fine with the last few episodes - no need to chuck the baby out with the bathwater, as it were.

That didn't happen. It was Vanjie who suggested Heidi be a Real Housewife, and then Ru agreed and chimed in with Phaedra. The only suggestion Ru brought to the table of his own accord was DeBarge. Hardly 'forcing all the girls to be yoof-friendly reality TV stars'.

What was THAT about? :D has there ever been a sob story more shoehorned than this one?
 
That was one of the best Drag Race episodes I've seen in quite some time! Really not bad for a snatch game, Gigi actually killed it :D I loved the Mean Girls judging panel, they were both really good guests, Damian more so obviously! :disco:

Britta is clearly a nasty pig, I actually hope it's the villain edit because imaging her ACTUALLY talking about how she's adored in New York is way too disturbing. HOWEVER... she killed that lipsync and then some, was Aiden even there on stage with her?? Look I feel sad for Aiden and the girls were nasty to her, but what a miserable character she is.
 
Oh and I actually really love Crystal :shy: she was really sweet in the work room walk through with Ru, only for Ru to throw her a 'Oh you want a hug? :)' :D!

Ru was actually pretty crazy this episode!
 
Yeah I've been an Aiden fan since her first episode and wanted to see what else she was gonna bring, but the minute she opened her mouth in Snatch Game I knew she had to go. Giving the same unfunny response three times is unforgivable.

I've not been a fan at all, but she was bullied. I don't think she ever had anything and always looked like cannon fodder to me.
 
She absolutely was bullied, but also she was crap and should’ve gone two weeks ago, so...
 
Untucked wasn't very satisfying this week. A couple of big meltdowns/arguments looked like they were about to go off, but were interrupted.

Although the awkwardness of the two guys' hasty exit once they realised that no one was in the mood for them was a lol moment.

I hated her looks on the first episode but since then I’m in love. It’s clear that her time to go has come, but that face is too cute and with good make up she really shines!
 
I didn’t like Brita’s lip sync. What a hateful cunt, that mouth makes me want to kill her.

But obviously Aiden had to go. What a fucking bore.
 
I thought it was a good Snatch Game. Nobody was really that bad bar maybe Aiden and it wasn't a trainwreck compared to some of the usual ones we get. Though maybe it's good to get a trainwreck or two during Snatch Game.

Gigi was getting a winner's edit there, between the Snatch Game and the story about her gender fluidity to the sympathy for Crystal to Ru personally praising her on the main stage.

I thought Brita was very good in the lip sync and the snow was a nice touch. I know they were doing promo for the Broadway show but I wish they had have used the Idina version.

Bottom two was correct. Crystal's pyjama look was BEAUTIFUL and at least she had a couple of laughs in the Snatch Game.
 
Does anyone else think Crystal looks like El DeBarge with that beautiful mullet?
:D

Unexciting episode all round really. I thought Crystal was going to be joining Aiden in the bottom though so that was the only surprise. The Snatch Game was rather tepid and never really took off. The Ike turn seemed totally off. Can we please have Leslie Jones installed as a permanent judge cause these two were dull as, even if the bear was cute.

Gigi's starting to pull clearly ahead now and I'm fine with that. Happy to have Jan to look at for a few more weeks but I don't think there's any real breakthrough coming there.
 
The fact that redacted didn't even get her runway shown was :D - I hope they continue to edit her presence even more and more. Also, she wasn't funny. She used the same joke twice, and also making fun of someone having Parkinsons doesn't do it for me.

Gigi was clearly the best and I would be astounded if she is not the winner of the season. There are some other decent queens but no one else comes close.

Brita is so vile and unlikeable. She has such a high opinion of herself, and that comment she made today about her being many people's Queen - fuck off, bitch! I hope she goes soon.

Jan, I really like. She seems a real sweetheart, but she is very much middle of the road with her performance. I think she definitely has it in her though, so we will see how it goes with next week which is a singing challenge, which she really should be able to excel in.

As for Top 3, I think Gigi and Jackie are the front-runners but that third spot is very much open for grabs between most of the others.
