Kennedy may not be knocking it out of the park aesthetically every week but she's still around because she does what is asked of her. The are other girls with better "looks" but there's nothing behind it, that's why they're gone and she's still here.


I like Max but she was fucking boring. How could max have made these final weeks interesting? When did Max do or say anything that was interesting when she was on the show?

Way better personality than Kennedy. More interesting dynamics with the other queens, as a sort of prudish eccentric. (Whether that was an affectation or not doesn't honestly matter.) Consistently inventive, stylistically coherent runway looks that never seemed like something she just threw on after a night of hooking. If you doubt she would have brought some amazing concepts to the challenges and runways Kennedy just kind of coasted through, you haven't been paying attention.

Max is like Milk and Raja's lovechild. She could evoke the improbable elegance of Detox and the punky edge of Sharon Needles at the same time. Fierce, fierce talent. Exciting, unpredictable, bold. Can we say the same about Kennedy or even Ginger? (Spoiler: no.)

I will hand it to Kennedy for that one black gown, and for not breaking a heel while ricocheting across the runway like a firecracker in a condom. But the bitch is tired, and she deserves her rest.

Kennedy is a basic bitch who would have got the boot in like week 2 or 3 in any of the previous seasons.

At least Max nailed the runway looks more often than not, Kennedy has done nothin' to impress.

Kennedy can act, sing, dance, be funny, read (an asset this season, apparently) and not all of her runway looks have been bad. Her pageant looks have actually been some of the best.

Basically, if Kennedy is a basic bitch, then I'm wondering how all but two of these talentless hoes ("but hey! I know how to paint this one face!") even made it onto the show.

Pageant looks are never good, tho.

Nothing but hypotheticals and wishful thinking considering Max showed NONE of this on the show. They gave her another shot and she trotted out in another iteration of the same look she always does and flopped again. Max went as far as she could go in the competition, I saw it and so did the powers that be.

Kennedy is a workhorse, I respect that even if it took a beat to warm to her. I think she would've been better received in an earlier series, especially with the old format of Untucked and a more volatile mix of girls. The new format seems to have found a majority fanbase, but it's all been a bit of a bland love-in, just sitting around waiting for the smoking girls to get back before the fait accompli of the lipsync.

Well, to be fair, Violet was the one mostly responsible for that look. And I'm pretty they would have won if this wasn't the one challenge ever Trixie would actually do well in (who saw that coming?).

Sorry, I may dislike Pearl, but if there's any queen I hate from this season, it's Trixie. What an obnoxious, unfunny person.

I agree about Trixie's obnoxiousness. Her fans mystify me.

Team challenges are a joke, let's be honest. She was consistent at worst until one half-stumble sent her packing. Lame.

Max had a lot more to offer. (Pls don't pretend she isn't showing her talent and versatility here, even if her style isn't to your taste.)

100% do not agree with the judge's decision this week. Kennedy's look was hot, hot garbage, and her Hello Kitty BFF was booooring. Also,
Katya's
lip-sync was much better, IMO.
Kennedy
relied to heavily on the splits and headbang, and there were moments where she wasn't even actually lip-syncing! Boring, boring, boring.

And on the topic of Trixie, I'm sorry but this

is not cute. Don't understand her at all.

The way I see Trixie is she's the Lolo Ferrari of drag make-up. She's not just a plastic Barbie doll, she's exaggerated ten times past "big hair and make-up" - I don't think her personality and execution (at least on the show) quite lived up to the concept, but I immediately understood and liked what she was trying to do. I want to see her pull it all together and distill it in to Trixie 2.0 like some of the other queens have gone on to do after the show.

I can't believe Rugrets and Ruflections are over I was expecting Katya to continue :( they were more entertaining than the show itself.

I feel like following her advice and make a collage of my favorite president instead of wasting my time with the rest of this season.

I don't see how Katya's lipsync was more "connected to the music" than Kennedy's. Actually, that Katya didn't at all connect to the energy of the song is probably why Kennedy won it.

It was sad to see Katya go, but I think Kennedy fought for her place fair and square, and despite the haters she's done really well on the show so far. I didn't see Ru sending her home over Katya.

Max is still the most disappointing elimination of the season for me.

I think the frustrating thing about it is that Kennedy is not really winner material, whereas Katya has all the characteristics of a winner (and the only one of the top 5 who aces the C.U.N.T checklist). So seeing her come in 5th burns a little because everyone else is a bar lower than she is. It'd be like if Bianca placed 5th last season.


Now that the frontrunner's fucking out I guess that leaves Violet to win it, since everybody hates Ginger and Kennedy (and they wouldn't crown someone who isn't the most popular with the fans), and my theory is that they'll eliminate Pearl next week so that she doesn't win the popular vote as a finalist. She's by far the biggest one on social media so winning the fan vote while also having the worst record probably isn't ideal.

I just wish Pearl won this challenge and Katya was safe. Having Katya, Violet and Pearl (with a third win) as the top 3 makes it a much closer race.

I think a top 3 without Pearl would be the weaker for it and not popular with the younger audience of kids who are big into the show on social media, I expect to see her in the top 3 but not win.

I don't really get the Trixie love either. She's nice...ish... but her exit was at the right time. Baffled at MAX not getting brought back since I feel like she'd have nailed the John Waters challenge and perhaps done well while prancing in half-drag.

Soooooooooo...

Violet's porn past was uncovered.

At this point I expect all the queens to have a porn past.

And apparently is a solo movie? That doesn't even count as a "past" by today's standards :p

Katya truly is everything. Hope her web series takes her insane sense of humor even further. Far and away the greatest talent of the season <3

Edit: saw some of it, holy shit, she's well-endowed, I wonder how she's able to tuck so succesfully

Yes! Her video made me feel so much better about her being eliminated. She's so funny and such a good sport. I really can't wait to see what she does next.

Oh my god, your reactions to the Violet porn are making me gag. Positively and negatively. But I positively refuse to watch the video.

Maybe.
