I thought snatch game this series was weak....

Very weak - I didn't know who half of them were and Aiden was just plain terrible.

iklboo · 07/04/2020 13:48

Brita claims she's New York's top queen. She's not even in the top 10 of the lists we've looked at. Sacha Velour, anyone?

ALemonyPea · 11/04/2020 20:17

Felt really sorry for Jan, I think she should have won this week. I really dislike it when the queens wear bikinis bottoms in the way Gigi did.

Was glad to see this weeks person go.

AllTheseThingsThatIHaveNotDone · 11/04/2020 21:33

Jan was done wrong. She won it fair and square for me this week and the way they built it up before a You're safe was positively cruel. She held it together well.
That said, Gigi performed better than expected given the nerves with the singing. Doing any handspring/forward in heels is amazing (Claudia did it in Strictly and Hannah in TGD, I'm always impressed, I'd break my ankle).
But I still thought Jan had it in the bag.
Bottom two also wrong - Jackie Cox should have been there not saved. Whether that was to prevent the embarrassment of Jackie being told to go home five minutes after thanking the politician for not telling women like her mum to go home. Clever Ms Cox.
But yes, Heidi shouldn't have been there. Britta's time was up and her dancing was not as good as her vocal range but she looked lovely in that dress. I often wonder whether pulling her up on earrings (like pulling up Cheryl for lack of handbag as the queen in the UK version) is an excuse to chuck them under the bus some more.
The right person probably went home all told but Jackie should have lipsynced and Jan should have had a win.

Actually I might have put Widow alongside Jackie - her pleather onesie was godawful.

Widow thinks she is better than she is! To me all her looks have been 'meh". I love Crystal.

Jan was absolutely robbed. Everything was totally on point. I hope it doesn't dent her confidence.

I don't like Widow. Her looks aren't all that and she's just plain nasty a lot of the time.

ALemonyPea · 18/04/2020 13:21

Yet again, the wrong person went. Give a sob story to the guest judge, tell them how much you admire them, and wow you're through.

Loved Heidi this week.

AllTheseThingsThatIHaveNotDone · 18/04/2020 19:17

That's what I thought lemony although Widow's lipsync was marginally better - more subtle, less desperate. I like tricks and cartwheels but not sure that song merited them. Jan was gracious in her defeat - I thought her ad was better than Gigi's and possibly Sherry's.
Heidi (?) mentioned Jan's. I wonder what would have happened if she had called out Gigi's instead.
Gigi's catwalk was lovely, so was Jan's, I liked Widow's veil.
In fairness, all of them had a decent runway outfit this week. I liked that Heidi won some dullars but preferred Jackie's and Crystal's. I don't usually find her funny but Jade made me laugh from the off with hers although I am surprised she didn't have a product called essence of Jaida. Wink Hurrah for Jeff Goldblum next week.

MabelStark · 18/04/2020 23:38

I like Widow, I know she's snarky but she's amusing and although her presentation was piss poor she stole that lipsync.
Loved seeing Chaka Khan. Immovable face but I've got major hair (wig!) envy. 😁
Another great episode. ☺️

iklboo · 19/04/2020 13:11

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

AllTheseThingsThatIHaveNotDone · 25/04/2020 23:39

Disappointed. Was so looking forward to Jeff Goldblum but he didn't live up to my expectations. Gigi should have been lipsyncing, same as she should have last week. She is passing on runway looks alone and her edit/narrative is unappealing. Was uncomfortable with the bottom 2 being chosen today although I agreed that Jaida should win.

iklboo · 26/04/2020 13:02

I get the impression Jeff Goldblum was edited to feck. This episode felt really flat and we didn't see much of the debate either.

Gigi is all runway lewk with not a huge amount to back it up otherwise.

I love Heidi though.

ALemonyPea · 26/04/2020 20:53

I was expecting so much more from Jeff.

Glad to see widow go as wasn't keen on her, but Gigi should have been at the bottom, her looks are good, the rest is not. Although, saw something in reddit about most of looks being blazers and hats, which they are.

ALemonyPea · 02/05/2020 18:00

Yet again, Gigi should have been at the bottom two 🙄

louderthan1 · 02/05/2020 18:06

Late to the party but I love Heidi. She just has that natural charisma and humour and watchability that Shangela and Vanjie have (my two favourite contestants ever)

GeraltOfRivia · 02/05/2020 18:09

I'm watching but I'm losing interest. The queens either aren't as good or I'm jaded. I also really liked Sherry pie then I heard about the controversy. Meh.

SpencerReidsMistress · 02/05/2020 18:16

Crystal should have won the challenge.

ALemonyPea · 02/05/2020 20:55

I agree, Crystal should have won.

Love Heidi, was not impressed with her transformation though.

FiveOutOfFiveGoldblums · 02/05/2020 23:25

My favourite episode of the series. Loved it.
DD and I both thought Sherry Pie was robbed this week. Janet the Planet was a legend and got the characterisms spot on.
As for the superfan lipsyncs that belonged to Opal Methyd although kudos to Snacky for splits and twerks. I called it that noone was going home, yay for me Wink Grin
Does that mean double elim next week then?

SpencerReidsMistress · 02/05/2020 23:51

Hm, I expect so. Ru does love the dramatics of a double elimination. I love watching this show. I'm gutted Sherry Pie is and absolute dick bag for what she did because she's actually really good. Don't know why but I just can't take to Jaida. Heidi is so cute. I hope she gets heart of the season.

Crystals look was amazing! Totally original!
Just seen that the new celebrity drag race is on Netflix !

I love Crystal!! Can't warm to Gigi. It's a shame in a weird way that they don't show more of Sherry Pie because she seems to be really really good but is obviously a sneaky snake soooooo good they aren't giving her massive air time. I wonder when the final will be filmed/aired!
