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

[SneakyGremlins]

S5 are a bunch of busted ass Queens, lol.

I watched tonight and have some THOUGHTS.

Isn't S5 with Alyssa Edwards?? And Alaska?

@biancadelrioisback yup it is.

I loooooove S5. Out of drag though......oof... there were some creatures

Oh and remember s6 with Trinity's flipper. Dem teef!

Lips are sealed until 12! Saw it yesterday.

S5 is my fave

Can we talk about the episode now?

YES

That was the best exit I've ever seen.

I feel like the last few song choices for lip sync have been a bit limp.... BLH and Vanjee could have been so much more dramatic with a better song? Agree best exit ever.

Silkie is bloody going to win isn't she 😩

See silky shouldn't win. But if she doesn't win I worry she'd end up winning all stars neither option is good!

I think this exit topped "Miss Vaaaaanji... Miss Vaaaanji... Vanji"
Her performance wasn't the strongest, but it wasn't the messiest either!

I will be so disappointed is Silky wins... She's not deserving.

Vanjie has got to come back for All Stars!

Is All Stars still shown anywhere? I only watched the last season and I’m going to have a massive void in my life when this season ends!

It was a good show. I still don't like Silky and I would have rather she had gone but Vanjie really didn't nail the performance did she.

At this point I want BLH or Yvie to win.

I honestly can't remember where I watched All Stars. I think it was on terrestrial TV? In the middle of the night? Hmmm....

I thought the lip sync song was shit too. Mind you, much as I love BLH, the en point thing is getting old. That's a talent she had going into the competition but the judges (and us) are much more interested in the talents that were uncovered in the duration, like her comic timing and acting ability. They told her they wanted a messy Queen and she comes out as the White Swan. I could hear MV rolling her eyes.

SPEAKING OF MESSY QUEENS! Someone on Reddit made a good point that it's actually not Silkys fault that she's been kept in way beyond her abilities. She plateaued weeks ago and it's not particularly fair to keep in a Queen who can't keep up and is just going to get hated on for it.

She's not going to win anyway.

All stars WAS on NowTV but it isn't anymore.

I loved Yvie's verse.

Never has such a messy, mediocre queen been so obviously carried to the final. Honestly, when Silky showed her gusset and had to be helped up I thought she’d be in the bottom for sure. But instead they had to think of a spurious reason to put BLH in the bottom because they needed the drama of a Branjie lip sync...

...except it was a normal lip sync. Bet they were hoping for weeping and wailing.

Hmmm, that lip sync felt a bit engineered to me. BLH has been very strong throughout and I thought her performance in the music video was good, Vanjie's performance was not all it could have been but her runway was gorgeous, A'keria didn't really stand out for me in performance or runway this episode and I was surprised she got the good critique that she did and Silky, well, she performed marginally better than in the lip sync last week and her dress was meh.

Think it should have been silky and A'keria(or maaaybe vanjie) in the bottom. But yeah, lip sync felt engineered for the Branjie drama....

Silky seems like she's back pedalling furiously in this episode with all of the 'gift of forgiveness' shite, like she's suddenly realised she may not have come across very well with her previous behaviour. I remember Roxy Andrews doing the same thing on the penultimate episode, apologising to Jinckx.

I loved Yvies look this episode, and she's been my favourite throughout. I know people have mentioned her coming across as arrogant but I don't know, haven't got that off her, she seems very genuine maybe ought to keep her opinions to herself sometimes but I've not seen her be spiteful. I'm really hoping she'll win, if silky wins me and drag race may have to reconsider our relationship...!

You know, I think they were aiming for a lipsync along the lines of Raven versus Jujubes in All Stars One. Not that that happened...

I think Silky will win. I think will do it that way purely because she is so hated, to try and show that haters gonna hate etc. Also there hasn't really been a big queen win yet....has there? They've all been slim?
BLH should win IMO because she is very talented. I hate it when they tell queen's they are too polished. They always said the same thing to Bianca and Chad and it used to piss me off them. MV used to full on patronise Chad about it.

This has been one of the weakest seasons I think. Snatch game sunk the show.

Ok so this week. Vanjie was really oddly absent in that video. I couldn't put my finger on why - so for that, I think she deserved to be in the bottom although I think she looked stunning.

As much as I don't want Silkie to win I don't think she should have been in the bottom - she gave a lot of energy in the performance. All this forgiveness bullahit is a bit too little too late for me (bit like Roxxxy).

BLH was fine for me - for me, I really stanned her hard at the beginning and felt she'd get to the final as she's so polished but I have to admit she's a little...boring sometimes? Like she's hilarious when not performing but really does wind up getting a bit po-faced when performing. I suppose that's a part of ballet, disciplined. I do like her though and think she'll win.

A'Keria - I dunno, I just don't get it. I think she's a good queen but I really think she thinks she's a bit better than everyone else. She often has a stank face on 😂

Yvie is awesome. I really like her, and I know she's been controversial during the season with targeting and not giving up on conversations when the best thing is to walk away but I just get such a genuine vibe from her that she sometimes fails to understand people aren't always good. Her performance was brilliant and her runway was amazing.

So, all in all, I think it's a BLH and Yvie two queen race to the crown.

Either BLH or Yvie to win. BLH was ok this week and there's no way she should have been bottom 2. I agree it was all for a Branjie lip sync - which perhaps wasn't the drama they expected.

I will be so mad if Silkie wins

Vanjie deserved to be in the bottom two, her performance in the video was poor, lacked energy.

To me, it seemed Silky didn't get as much singing lines in the video, or was that just me? She should have been in the bottom two because of her skirt going up and having the plain knickers (twice) underneath. It was an unfinished outfit.

BLH was fabulous, Yvie was amazing.

Yvie should have won the week, not sure why there was no winner. Her laugh gets me. I'm hoping either BLH or Yvie win.

The BLH/Vanjie lip sync was definitely engineered, Ru and MV quizzed them a few times during that episode and I knew that that was where it was going. Loved the don't give a fuck kissing at the end, so professional of them both.

Vanjies exit was the best.

@GoBackToPartyCity you can watch all stars 1-3 on World of Wonder.
Eh. I don't have a lot to say other than this is my least favourite series of RPDR. The final 5 were so unlikeable. Yes they had Vanjie but she keeps being told she's funny and crazy and really Hams that up now and ends up not being funny IMO. Her exit to me was just annoying. Started out funny but ended up cringey.
BLH is good but comes across arrogant and without personality. Silky awful. A'keria too bitchy. Yvie... I liked her idea of 3 eyes/3 boobs but don't think it was executed well. I sometimes like her personality and I like that she's different. There's something off putting about her, it could be as silly as the faces she pull, sorry. I'm hoping she'll win but that's because I don't want anyone else to win.

Just a weak series for me, they wouldn't have stood a chance against some of the queens in previous seasons.

Oh I don't know, I just finished S6 and two out of the Last 4 were very WTF?! for me.

(Not spoiling in case someone is going back to old seasons like me)
