Not even sure I'd listen to that as a joke. Never been a fan of the show music, but I REGULARLY get the Bitch Ball theme stuck in my head.

All of Ru's music is terrible
Just like the Tyra Banks songs.

Maybe Lucian was in the booth, and told Ru "be like Lorde, but not Lorde specifically, but have an identity like Lorde, I don't know why you're having such a hard time picking up on this, anyway we're recording in five minutes."
Worst than Derrick?
But yeah I agree.
She can't even catwalk right, it's kind of funny the effort editing does to avoid showing her walk down the runway.

Nah, it's hit or miss. If you think I Bring the Beat or Responsitrannity are terrible, you're terrible.All of Ru's music is terrible

Surprisingly not terrible.
Naomi's quote is too good.Drag Race: The Ru-up! Episode 6 (Season 8)
The exploding head effect tho. These videos are beginning to look higher budget than the show itself

Naomi's look was great when Raven wore it six seasons ago too.

Yeah, Naomi looks amazing but like... It's almost EXACTLY the same as something worn by another contestant.

Very pleased with tonight's outcome, particularly
I actually thought Kim Chi's ad was cute and sort of socially responsible, I know she's a terrible performer but i just love her to bits.
given the way she just kept coming for Chichi and then utterly failed when her assignment actually was to come for Chichi. The only person left now that I don't like is Derrick, I'm a fan of all the rest of these girls. I didn't really have a problem with Thorgy but she started getting on my nerves last episode.

From the ones that're left:
- Both Naomi and Derrick did one LSFYL and ChiChi did two. Kim Chi and Bob never went through one.
- Bob has won three challenges, while the other girls all won one each.
Going by this, the top three would be Bob (winner), Kim Chi and that other bitch.

As per this season, this right decision was made.
I literally fell on my ass at that lip-sync, my barstool could not handle Chi Chi's gravitas

Thorgy got an evil edit these past two episodes so wasn't surprised like three seconds into this one.
My heart burns for Thorgy Thor. Pure pizzazz and quirk. My kind of queen. She was sacrificed to shoe-horn a Derrick arc and make Naomi seem like a contender. Once again the show loses its integrity around the final five/six mark. She bring it to you every season tho. A Ben and Katya tea.
Bob's the only one who can feasibly win at this point. Everyone else has glaring deficiencies. At least Thorgy was the only other well-rounded one. Bleh

I never saw it for Thorgy. Her runway looks were either basic or extra, and her delivery when it came to either staged or improv comedy was utterly mediocre.Thorgy got an evil edit these past two episodes so wasn't surprised like three seconds into this one.

Ready for Bob to sashay to victory~
Ok this is an exaggeration.
I'm with soulscribe, at this point is when the show loses integrity, we have Queens being kept safe for the sake of story archs, but besides Derrick I'm ok with the top five for once since like 3 seasons ago.

Chichi did not come to play with these hoes. She came to slay bitch! That being said, I hope Thorgy didn't let the door hit her where the good lord split her. She was getting on my nerves. Being pressed and mediocre is not a good look.
I can't be mad at Derrick this week. Bob drug Derrick up to his level. I have no doubt Derrick will be back to his regularly scheduled struggle.
Naomi is doing it for me this and last week. Hopefully she can keep it up and stay past Derrick and Kim Cheese. Speaking of... Kim Cheese was painted DOWN on the runway. Her face was messing with my eyes. Outside of a fierce paint tho... I don't see it for her.
If I had my druthers the next eliminations would be thus:
5. Derrick
4. Kim
3. Chichi
2. Naomi
1. Bob
All hail Bob.
Our new Queen.

MISS CHI CHI DID THAT
BYE Thorgy Bore. I've been wanting your ass (and them damn dreads) gone since you had the NERVE to come for Bob starting in ep 2 for no other reason than her being better and funnier than you. Then when you REALIZED that your Basic Broadway Wannabe Vaudeville Amelia Bedelia schtick just couldn't compare, you had the nerve to pick on Chi Chi because damnit, why can't anyone understand your obvious greatness. *eyeroll*
Only that Louisiana crayfish plate just sent you and that dusty ass cartwheel home. Yes. I live.
This season has been so great.

I love Thorgy more for her lipsync vids on youtube than her performance on this show, which kind of bums me out. She definitely deserved to go home this week, as much as I kept wanting her to succeed on this show.

Episode 7 thoughts!
- Damn, Chi Chi. She doesn't get ready, she stays ready to slay.
- Thorgy's edit is so weird. First half of the season was showing her as a real contender, then the last two episodes have just been painting her with the sour brush. Did she do something to the producers or what?
- Kim's still being pushed through to top 3 on look alone. Gurl, we can all see the handprint on your back.
- I surprisingly didn't hate Derrick at all this episode. I was even GURL WHATing Carson's criticism of the runway look. Have I been converted?
- Michelle's sassy face when directing is everything for me. I didn't like her in earlier seasons, but she's really grown on me, especially after reading Diva Rules
.
- Michelle was right, though, this is one of, if not the strongest batch of queens we've had as a top 6.
- No RPDR winner has ever been bottom two twice, and Adore is the only one to hit bottom 2 twice by top 5 and still make it to top 3. Chi Chi's fighting against the odds here.
- Obligatory moment of silence for Acid Betty, who would probably have slayed this by just being Acid Betty.
- Damn, Chi Chi. She doesn't get ready, she stays ready to slay.

Well done bob for briging up Derrick to your level this week. I know Carson's critique of D's runway look was probably based on the make up but I thought it was a little harsh as he looked great. I was gagging for that dress reveal but he should have done it a little bit later in the runway
That lip sync was everything. Can't argue with the bottom two and give their performance this episode I can't complain too much about Chi Chi sending Thorgy home. Thorgy was great as a concept but lacked polish but I'm sure that he'll work on it and have a really good career following this.
Bob has to win
oh and I'm such a shitty person. When Kim started crying in that sad mime make up I couldn't help but cackle

Yeah what was up with that cartwheel? You don't cartwheel during that song ever. Like even if she had slayed the rest of the song that cartwheel would have ended her. Sad.She tried it with that desperate cartwheel

Last night's elimination was so on point. I love thorgy too but I also think the edits painted her badly. Either way, she had to go home.... The minute Chi Chi chains broke... I KNEW she won. Contest over, game over. She said I am NOT going home! Chi Chi is jusT. Thorgy tried it with the cartwheel but nah, that wasn't enough to kill Chi Chi chain break. Best lipsync of the season.
Bob and Derrick killed it too surprisingly. I was laughing at there entire skit. Naomi and Kim Chi's was type whack and but it definitely wasn't something that couldn't beat thorgy and Chi Chi as much as I hated it.
Maybe it's me but I don't think Kim Chi is actually being pushed forward. I think she has done the challenges correctly. I would also hate her lisp to be like a major reason why she loses because she's done so well with it all the way here... Seems like a terrible excuse to remove her now. Her run way look was pretty dope. Thought I was going to lose all that artistic stuff with Acid but Kim Chi is a pretty good replacement in some aspects.
My prediction now is for Bob to win. He's definitely going to at this point since she's the one to beat.
