If you're in the bottom two, you already fucked up - this is your last chance. I understand what you mean, you look at Acid and the work she's done thus far and her imaginaton and talent is amazing, and Naomi wears a bra and panties. One does feel like the body of work should have some weight in the decision (and surely it has done for some people) BUT, they both done goofed and whoever performs the best, wins. And Naomi performed better.

I wouldn't go that far, but she looked damn good in the last episode.
This is in theory of course, we know storyline is more important, and so-so lipsyncs have been given a pass before. The first example that popped in my head was Roxxxy's two wigs mopping the floor with Alyssa in that lipsync yet they both got to stay because of the forced Alyssa vs Coco story, and it's certainly not the only example.

Shit. That's one intense face.
Yeah I'm sorry. Not sure what I was thinking last night. Been under a lot of stress and was in a weird/bad mood. Meant no offense, but too late for that

Exclusive footage of the queen of the galaxy seizing control of your entire solar system because yesterday's sunset was "satisfactory."
I just caught up with Untucked so it now makes much more sense to me heh
I'm conflicted, as much as I want Derrick gone she did ok, I cannot help but agree with the bottom three, but I like all of those girls so it was a difficult decision, at the end I would have preferred anyone but Betty to go, fuck this show, she had fucking birds, it makes it even more painful after that kimono disaster.
"I totally blew Snatch Game, It sucks... but I think Snatch Game sucks", YES! I knew I was not alone, and she had the guts to say it, I live for Betty, but the moment she said this I knew she was doomed, Snatch Game is sacred for RuPaul.

I'm still incredibly frustrated Kim Chi is sailing through. She's a look queen, can't dance, can't walk in heels, doesn't seem to have much personality besides being an introvert, had a one-note Snatch Game, and yet has still never touched bottom three. Welcome back, Tyra Sanchez.
That lipsync was a double shantay if I've ever seen one. Both of them brought their A game.
I would actually say Alyssa had the edge there. Apart from Roxxxy's double wig ruveal (which was AMAZING), he didn't actually do much for half of the lipsync besides stand still and do a bunch of hair tossing. Alyssa was actually incorporating dancing and dropping into it.

WTF, how you can think Kim Chi is anything but lovable is beyond me. She has a sweet personality and turns out wonderfully inventive looks week after week. And she's actually holding her own in the challenges, for the most part. What's wrong with being a look queen exactly? Multitalented people aren't inherently better than specialists.

Robbie looks the same every runway. I'm pretty surprised he's still in when Betty just got the boot, he is way out of his league in this show, has been from the start.
I know, I know :/ Robbie's time on the show is very limited. But I really like his personality. He's great in a way that's hard to justify -- it's hilarious that he has a lot of personality but fails to bring it to the challenges. And I love the dynamic between him and Naomi.
I liked Untucked. Is it weird to think that this is the season of the introverts (in a Myers Briggs sort of way)?
I guess you mean Naomi? Robbie has lots of weak points but runway variety is not one of them.

Her make-up looks exactly the same, she just changes from one hideous wig to another.

The season is confirmed to only have 10 episodes.
It was pretty underwhelming so it would be nice to see people actually doing things right on the next one.

Eh I'd rather have a short season that's excellent than a long one with too many ups and downs. This is The Fame Monster to last season's ARTPOP. <3

Shit Vs Shit? That's an odd analogy.
Raja is worse than Ru now, she doesn't know any of the girls names. It's always "this bitch" or "that bitch".
She doesnt know the names cause they get the picture without the faces. They judge faceless looks so they dont play any favorites if they know the queen. They have explained it a few times on the show cause it has been an issue before

I think that's enough of a hint to know who gets eliminated now lol.
Yep. Derrick's little speech about wanting to break out of the Britney box was bullshit too since everything he does is basically Britney. He didn't even take Ru's advice about not doing a bodysuit with stuff on it. Some of the other outfits may have been a mess, but at least it looked like they put effort into it, unlike Derrick.

These eliminations have been on point. I was really scared that
was going home but I glad she wasn't. Naomi slayed exactly how I knew she was. Screw everyone who thought Acid was better >_>.....While she has great design, she is highly overrated.
I loved thorgys look which imo seems to be consistent. I'm really not sure what they don't see in her style but I like it. I feel like she always ..maybe except this challenge...goes a bit above and beyond especially with her face makeup..and I feel she does amazing drag compared to some of the contestants who don't ( and rarely get dragged for it ) but whatever.

Either way, I really REALLY want
to go. I've had it with his shit and seeing him is so insufferable now, I'm not sure how the girls deal with it. Ugh...

The correct choice was made.
It was better
Plus this setback will probably be the beginning of a more "humble" producer edit for him.
Excellent episode all around 👍
It was better
for Bob to have one bad look and one great one than to have two wholly mediocre ones like Derrick and Chi Chi.
Excellent episode all around 👍

Naomi really turned it out this runway. I loved literally everything about her and her partners look.
I'm glad Robbie has gone, hes been weak for most of the competition and does nothing but complain. even the challenge he won was kinda shit
Derrick will be gone soon, probably next episode unless its a dancing challenge
Still not sure about who will be top 3 though. I think Bob and Thorgy are a lock. Probably Kim Chi but who knows

I always thought the critics are the opposite? That the show is too "mainstream".
If it was really about old school roots Robbie wouldn't have been bottom two, Derrick is kept save for her current popularity and mainstream appeal I guess. She will always be as basic as basic can possibly get though.
edit: And don't tell me Acid would have killed a Wizard of Oz challenge.
