Rupaul's Drag Race Season 11 - This Season, Go WIG! (Maybe not if you're Monique)

[SneakyGremlins]

Michelle's critiques were on point this week.

I don't think Vanjee has evolved... she's actually getting less funny than she was at the beginning.

Where to start with Silkie.... she just isn't funny I honestly don't get what they see in her.... her attitude is awful and she just always plays the same loud character! No depth or versatility

Totally agree with what Nige says about Vanjie. Having said that, her Britney monologue is still the funniest thing I’ve seen on Drag Race for many a season

I’m hoping Ru’s undying love for Silky died a little during the reading challenge. And the flat out racism towards Plastique! Can’t believe she placed high AGAIN for playing herself AGAIN and relied on the same old “I’m fat, I just love eating!” jokes. I really hope she’s in the bottom next week and bombs the lip sync in spite of all her bravado about being a great lip syncer.

This week confirmed my suspicions that A’Keria’s arse has been pumped with a lot of filler. I noticed her rear was a strange shape in the workroom a few weeks back.

I agree 100% on Vanjie and it PAINS me.

That said, she really worked that PVC ponytail.

But she need to be getting better and she's not. Ru specifically told her to go in at a 4 and everyone read her for starting at a 10. And the terrible thing was by the look on her face she had been really trying to hold it in! So I suspect she's just not capable of acting. That said, once this is over she never had to be anyone other than Vanjie again! This is not Ru Paul's Next Acting Superstar!

I also think it wasn't Brooklyns fault that Nina was outshone on the challenge. Yeah she missed a cue but once she came out she could have gone a lot crazier.

It's like Nina is expecting everyone to be 100% collaborative but it's not bloody Morecambe and Wise, there's only going to be one crown. How did she not get the memo that this wasn't an acting challenge so much as a "Steal The Show" challenge?

Boo Hoo Nina!

Well.

I thought Yvie Nina & Shuga should all have been safe. Nina was too kind in letting BLH have the best part and had an amazing runway look.

The top 2 A'keria & BLH was the right decision. A'keria was just brilliant - hitting with her bag and running away.....so funny Gurl, you smashed this challenge.

Therefore my bottom 3 would have been Plastique Vanjie & Silkie. Silkie was too overpowering with Shuga but OMG her runway was worse than ever before.

That runway should have landed her in the bottom.

If you've seen untucked then Silkie actually says "this competition has pushed me to do looks" I nearly choked on my what looks!!! Also she doesn't think she needs to improve and it makes me mad that I believe she will get top 4.

Also, anyone notice how pretty Plastiques writing was? Never before has the mirror looked so good.

One last thing is that Miss Congeniality will be Nina's if she doesn't get top 3. Lovely chat between her & Yvie in untucked......she's one special queen.

Yes, she is so lovely that she makes everyone around her nicer.

I'm hoping Silky got a bit of a shock but tbh her arrogance is so bullet proof that I doubt it.

I hate Silky so much, I don't know what Ru is on to keep liking her so much.

Nina is a real sweetheart. She does deserve Miss Congeniality for sure. Her runway looks was also excellent and her face was painted so well. She gets too far inside her own head (although not Nina Bonina Brown levels!!!) which might be her undoing.
Vanjie’s undoing is indeed the level 10 starting point. All she had to do was begin low and start to take it up- she had it actually spelled out that if she started manic she would have nowhere to go and it didn’t change a thing. She will go next week.

I do think it must be incredibly tough week after week. Shuga did say that she thought (before she arrived) she would do ok and she was bringing her best game but it just wasn’t enough to get top places.

First off, can someone please tell me WHY the glasses were not on at all times in the reading challenge???? The point of them as a prop is to wear them!

I really feel for Vanjie, I love her and she isn't preforming, its heartbreaking. The cat fight was just a mess!
A'Keria was brilliant this week, she really let herself go and had fun with the role and when they 'realised' they were mother and daughter, I chuckled.
Nina gets too inside herself, I think someone else has already said above? I think she needs to realise that it's a competition, what she did for BLH was lovely, she is for sure the nicest queen this season and as pps have said deserves Miss Congeniality.
I can't stand Silky, she gets worse every episode, her attitude, over confidence, relying on stereotypes for herself. I can't wait for Ru to fall out of love, Michelle has started this week by looks of it. Shuga bless her was railroaded by Silkys OTTness in the challenge.
The lipsync was a bit flat for me, especially after last week, but that's a hard one to top. I agree with @aristocat with Plastiques message, that handwriting!!!

I’ve found my people!
Agree re Silky; she’s just loud and annoying. Love BLH though. Do we think her and Vaaaanjie will stay together after the show?

I don't usually like these kinds of challenges and the cat fight one was painful viewing. Like RuPaul said I just wanted it to be over. Would have been hilarious if silky was bottom 2 and had to lipsync with her 5 o'clock shadow! And why were her reads in the reading challenge so bad?

I think everyone has a soft spot for Vanjie but she just can't do anything but herself, a bit like Alyssa Edwards (but worse... sorry). Even in the reading challenge she couldn't think of anything original or half funny to say. She'll be next to go.

It was almost reminiscent of Valentina's mask, except she was safe.

Maybe Ru is “ru-ting” (bwah ha ha what a pun) for Silky because he wants this to be the year the plus size queen wins.
Again with the reading... they should be prepared. Seasons ago there were jokes about teeth and ashy knees that were obviously prep-prepared but also funny. Silky was totally offensive. Japan and Thailand just being interchangeable

She's from Vietnam isn't she?

Ru-ting

Nina is a plus size queen. Rather her than Silky.

Or Vietnam. I wasn’t paying attention. I am not Silky ignorant.

When Mama Ru tells someone to use their inside voice you know they're going too far.

I'm so jealous about WerkThe World @aristocat.

I'll be away so can't go but would love to.

I might be going to see Monet XChange at Skinny Brunch next sunday though.

Thanks @BillGiggeloe loving the name - LOD fan, I assume?

@aristocat
Yep..LOD and RPDR are the best things on TV

I totally agree!

As if silkie once again was saved!!! Definitely some sort of fix going on!

I didn’t mind Plastique, I was sorry to see her go. But then again if it’s a choice between looking at Plastique for another week or looking at Vanjie, I’ll take Vanjie every time. I hope she can burst through this plateau she’s on 🤞

Really glad to see A’keria getting some recognition this week! I love A’keria’s face. In drag and as a boy. So cute.

Brooke Lynn Heights is amazing but she lacks the Charisma part of C U N T. So I don’t think she’ll win.

I fucking hope Silky doesn’t win! She is definitely coasting on the back of representing the plus size queens. Do one Silky!

I hate to say it because I love her, but I think Shuga is lacking in C as well.

Did nobody choose Raven as one of their top three queens ever? She’s definitely up there for me! “I’m a man in a dress!” 😂😂 And when she carried her “mom” ❤️

I miss the way Ru was in the older seasons. All the motherly advice. I don’t know if it’s a production decision or like someone said, she’s “phoning it in” now. Still love it though! My favourite show by a mile.

Has anyone Google’s Rus husband? Was not expecting that at all. He owns a ranch and is completely different to ru lol they look cute together

And he's taller than Ru!
