Not sure how I feel about that top four.
If that ends up being real it will easily take the crown of S7 as the weakest season

NOT feeling this if so.
If true, that confirms my thought on who the winner would be. Predictable.
Buy it on Amazon, watch it live on a rerun, or watch shitty rips on youtube with messed up sound and picture to get past copyright.
Not sure what Logo/vH1's issue is with putting the episodes online this season. It's annoying as shit.
Michelle and RuPaul have been teasing that something will happen and her attitude will change over the season.
Worked for me today.
She'd have gone far, maybe even to the top, but I'm not sure she'd have won.
This is worse than season 7, no one bar Nina are memorable and I'm really getting apathetic to watching this season. At least S7 you had Max.
Also, fuck this season purely for the purple. Yet again. No point watching and I'll just see who wins at the end because why bother watching when the runway can't be fucking watched.

Shea wins the episode for getting on that stage and doing The Chicken Head Dance from 2004. I LIVED!
Also, I was watching this episode in a bar and the purple light on the runway was ESPECIALLY BAD this episode. Like PS3 first year games bloom bad. EVERYONE in the bar clocked it. Whoever did the lighting for this season needs to not come back.
Also, STOP CUTTING THE RUNWAY SHORT. How can you be working on SEASON 9 of Drag Race and NOT know that THE MOTHERFUCKING RUNWAY is the BEST PART!? Seriously, the drag queen hosting the viewing party I was at clocked it and I totally agree: whoever is in charge of the editing this season a) is not gay, or even queer; and b) has never seen this show before in their life to know what makes it good.
I refuse to believe that spoiler.
I'm not in the camp that thinks this season is terrible (editing issues and purple light aside), but this really would be the darkest timeline if THAT is the Top 4.
Also, it must be said again, Sasha Velour is boring.
Same for Alexis Michelle. Girl, that runway was season 2 real-girl bad. Studio 54 realness? L-O-L. I came into this season wanting like her, but for all the shit she talks her drag is college-sophomore-doing-drag-for-the-first-time-and-writing-a-paper-about-it awful.
I almost cried over
Farrah's lack of talent is embarrassing. If I were her I would have eliminated myself. And the look on her face tells me even she was thinking it.
On that note, Ru and the producers need to SAY NO to YouTube/Instagram queens for season 10. They're embarrassing and almost comically devoid of ACTUAL talent. Bring me some bitches who have actually worked the clubs.
EDIT: It might not be the most PC thing to say
, but it needs to be said: Unlike
, Cynthia went home at the right time in season 8 and it made no fucking sense to bring her back to annoy us with her cucu again. I tried to give her a chance to see if she grew, but nope. She's a wack queen. If ANYONE from her season deserved a redo it was Laila, because THAT BITCH fucking slays these days.

there's no way Valentina and Nina go home THAT early, Peppermint lasts that long when she's ALREADY run out of drag looks, and Sasha's boring ass makes it in the top 3.

Eureka. I hated her in the first episode, and yeah girl needs to shut up sometimes. But the girl is GENUINE, talented, and LOVES drag and you can see her passion for it. I will always give it up for those girls. I hope she comes back and slays next season.

That lip sync was TRAGIC, omg!
A mess. Really disappointed with Farrah, I keep waiting for her Naomi Smalls moment and it never happens.
Also the moment Ru got up I knew who was going on. It just didn't make any sense to keep her around, way too much of a risk for the production company.

I am actually glad. Rather see her on a (hopefully) better season 10
Alexis
Agreed.
It sucks that it happened, but at least she gets to be on two seasons and interact with two groups of queens. She's got a memorable arc, and I'd definitely prefer that she not spend the remainder of her Drag Race career hobbling down the runway on crutches. The cheerleading challenge was still a bad call, but sending Eureka home is making the best of a bad situation, and I'm sure it'll work out for her.

Wish I watched this episode downtown to see people's reactions to the two Austin queens having to showdown. People have been so hyped to see two queens repping our city (even though Farrah would rather call herself a Vegas girl... we claim her tbh)
I like these girls but I really do wish these runways were more exciting.

The cheerleading challenge was honestly tragic and it's amazing that it's still haunting these queens this far into the season.
Cancel it.
Cancel it.
Honestly, a lot of these challenges in the later seasons are coming off as the straight person who's never been to a gig's take on what drag is.
The show's treating them less like drag queens and more like clowns. There's always been a blurred line between the two art forms of course, but there IS a line.

For me it's the season 2 stripper challenge, the first snatch game, and season 3's jock-to-drag makeover challenge (that episode also gave us the iconic Raja vs. Carmen Carrera lipsync).

The challenges in Season 2 were awesome: the stripper+ selling cherry PAH one, making ads for shortening
, DIS GROOB IS FOR MAH GURLS, the first ever Snatch Game, ...
Yeah, I think this season is treating the queens a bit like... clowns? at least for the Princess and this one challenge, I felt that way.
The GaGa Runway and the morning programme challenge were fine.
which was apparently used as lube in pre-Stonewall times IIRC

NO, YOU ARE DONE AND I WILL TELL YOU WHY YOU'RE DONE.
Eureka vs. Trinity was lowkey iconic tbh
I forgot that one but not bad.
I live for Nina on Untucked. She rarely says anything, but her faces and body language tell tales. lol
I DIED when she turned her back during
dumbass rant.
Speaking of...that might just be the dumbest rant in Drag Race herstory. Like, really gurl? I'm surprised nobody went off on her ass I sure would have. Nina's back turn was perfect.

Agreed getting mad about her own fashion choice because she didn't win. She needs to get her ego checked.
They haven't been uploading them to their apps. It's up on the DirecTV app/site if you're subbed to them though. If you're not, maybe check to see if your cable provider has it on their on demand catalog.
If they don't you can either buy it on iTunes/Amazon, look for a crappy bootleg version on YouTube, or look for the torrent download.
If I were Farrah I'd have to told Alexis to fuck off and let me practice my lipsync cuz I ain't got no time to listen to a snotty rant about your fashion choices, also the lace on Valentina's wig, if she weren't safe I feel Michelle would have read her for that.
To this day I still ship Alexis Mateo with Slava! he was so sweet and European ~

alexis' rant was some stupid shit lmao
it's literally not the other girls' job to tell you you look like shit
they even have cynthia this season who apparently DOES help people backstage so idk wtf she was complaining about
and then farrah was like "it's a nice dress but you put it under such a stunning coat" and then alexis as like "no, they read the dress because it was under such a beautiful coat" and i was like ummm
that's basically just what she said but okay

Alexis was playing victim more than Nina in that Untucked. Really think they're gonna put you in the bottom two just because they slagged your runway outfit? They dug the hell out of her performance. It was a bad runway look for sure, but it wasn't gonna tank her. It was clear from the critique that Cynthia and Farrah were bottom two. So it just seemed like Alexis wanted an excuse to complain. "I might lose because of the dress." C'mon now.

I literaly know nothing about drag or make up. But Aja has the worst make up I have ever seen on a drag queen. How did she get on the show if she can't even paint her face convinsingly.

the fact that she made everyone come over too like who tf do you think you are? lmao

Farrahs ass should of left after that terrible lip sync. What a sad excuse for a vegas show girl. And what is this reoccurring theme of vegas girls coming to the show with the same template only being able to sing, give looks and show body? It's so boring now...sheesh that entire lip sync was boring. Cynthia should also be ashamed of that elimination dance routine she tried...I mean girl 🙄 However, that Meghan trainor song is horrendous so I guess...
I'm sad eureka had to go because I lived for her 😔
Alexis irritates me. I can't believe she had the nerve to be mad that nobody wanted to tell her how basic her dress was. WAT? I just....ugh.

Sasha is boring as fuck.
Nina, Valentina and Shea are the only not forgettable queens this season.

"hello?" "this is vagina"
The rays of jealousy towards Valentina in the first half of untucked were INTENSE. There's no way she's not toying with them too with her angelic, telenovela princess thing.
Mostly though: shut up Alexis. The spotlight for drama wasn't anywhere near her, there was no reason for her to go off on that insane rant.

Sasha will most likely win, tho. Gives me the Violet tea
I'm not sure, Shea is getting a lot more time and development on the show.
