I enjoyed that episode - for ME, PERSONALLY, I want to feel good when I watch RPDR, so having an episode where they all did well was fine by me, and broke up the season a bit - not like when they used to take a break around the top 5/6 AND not eliminate anyone which felt like it just destroyed the momentum. I mean I could easily have taken a Kerri/Deja lipsync, or a predictable Angeria getting a golden ticket, but it's all good.
I thought the main challenge could've been pretty good by itself, but they over-egged it with the farts. Bosco saying "I should've realised this script didn't make sense"
clearly they've been watching earlier seasons when it rarely makes sense anyway. I didn't have any issue with the winner, the top 2, the tops or the ... safes though.
And I was in floods during Untucked, I don't know why particularly but the frank conversations about relationships with their family, transitioning and Jasmine's moment really got to me. Jasmine especially, I feel vindicated in thinking she's a fairly lovely person whose youth has sort of gotten her off on the wrong foot.
This really is a great cast - I realised that the mainline US series is definitely still my favourite, aside from when US Allstars turns it out, but I find that relies a bit too much on gimmicks.
1. Lady Camden - She is really endearing and sweet, I was re-watching the Supertease clip this week, and her fake American still sent me. Great runways, beautiful runways, and a great lippy this week.
2. BOSCO! - I still feel she's quite guarded in sharing her feelings, you saw a bit of the mask cracking in Untucked when Jasmine was talking, but undoubtedly warm and supportive. Her runway this week wasn't my favourite, but she is totally different every week, without being obviously try-hard wacky.
3. Jorgeous - I fancy confessionals Jorgeous more than most RPDR drag queens, I'm not really used to that on this show! But a class act, and the runways are sickening - I loved the acting this week, and rising above the Dire Betty crusade.
4. Angeria - Still great, happily safe this week. What happened in that challenge?! Anyway I'm sure she will rise again
5. Willow - The runways are always worth waiting for, the comedy is there, there is a sort of calmness that I wonder will cause her trouble later in the season, but Ru loves her so perhaps not.
6. Jasmine - Yeah they're a bit of a gay stereotype, you can tell they grew up with RPDR, but I feel they're still a contender and have plenty more to show, last week's lip sync certainly showed that.
7. Kerri - Lovely but I'm not especially excited about anything. She's a runway queen and stunning of course, but the acting challenges aren't really going anywhere, the craft challenges too, I can't imagine Snatch Game is going to be one for the ages if she makes it there... and this week's runway was not my cup of tea.
8. Daya Betty - I do sympathise, she's getting THE edit. Even her just looking at someone is inserted very pointedly to imply she's plucked about it. Which she certainly has been, so the Daya-tribes
have totally swallowed her narrative up. I'm glad she got her moment, but... now what?
9. Deja - Yeah... it's overdue for her to sashay. I don't think I've liked a single runway very much - it's all well and good being a seamstress, but you have to actually make nice things too, right? Don't hate her but, it's time.
