I could see Dawn sneaking into the final over Q if she gets a duff challenge. I don't think it's likely but it's possible.

I'm actually asking this as a refresher to myself: besides the sewing challenges, of which there have been three, is Q good at acting or comedy? Because I distinctly remember her sucking at dancing, obviously, but want to know if she really is all that much better than Dawn or Morphine.

I mean, if I'm gonna criticize Mh'iya for being a one-trick pony, I really should critique the other. It just seems like an unfair season because of the strike in that it skews toward the fashion queens and those that can dance.

I don't think anybody involved in the production of the show is a member of either the writer's or the actor's unions, and I don't see how that would have affected things.

I guess its unfair in terms of what contestants are expecting coming into the season: Typically there are 1-2 sewing challenges and 2-3 acting challenges, but I would say I find the sewing challenges more of a comprehensive test of multiple talents (both ability to construct a look but also their sense of fashion and style, and ability to walk a runway and serve a look), while the acting challenges are generally....less interesting for me as a viewer and less representative of a queen's talents (they are at the mercy of writing and roles).

I'm not sure either, but at Roscoe's they asked Mh'iya if the amount of sewing challenges had to do with the strike, she brushed the question off. The host said, "Oh that's the NDA talking."

I just assumed that meant they knew less writers were around.

Q’s talent show was good and she has been in the top for the comedy/acting challenges but I thought she was overpraised in them. That being said she wasn’t bad; I just find her kinda awkward.

I 100% think this is the only rusical worth watching, any rusical where they don't make the queens sing is POINTLESS! :mad: The Joan Crawford one was alright, didn't mind it. A lot of the rusicals are just dogshit songs and storytelling, like the Moulin Rouge one? garrrbaggge!

I don't think Q has good....stage presence. I don't really agree with the judges that she deserved the top placement in those comedy challenges. I also have to say, kind of disappointed by her runways. Her entrance look and first runway were fantastic, but a lot of the others have been kind of just well executed but not much substance, to me. Her 80s look was fabulous of course.

I've heard that Shangela had multiple accusers but this is the first time I think I've seen them named. Rolling Stone 'broke' the story before the avclub piece in an article written by one of Sherry Pie's victims, incidentally. There is just too much smoke for there not to be a fire on this one, but I have a hard time seeing Shangela get the Sharon treatment at this point. What a mess. I hope the victims find peace, but I have a bad feeling given how absolutely wild a lot of the DR community is online.

Agree! Her accent was BAD. I felt loving awkward listening to it. And seriously, to use it when an Asian comic is there? I -hated- that he said "Asian excellence" to describe her after she basically made a Mickey Rooney impersonation. I'm not Asian, but I'm Hispanic and I would have HATED Geneva making a Slowpoke Rodriguez accent had she made it that far.

Also, :byewhore: to Mhiya. Talking a big game about lipsyncing when all you really did was go against weak queens AND she resorts to petty bullshit like throwing her cape over a queen? WTF. That was gross and a heinous way to go out. Very weak tea. Kind of reminds me of Mimi Imfurst's antics. You do not touch other queens, costumes included!


Am Chinese, can confirm I have relatives that sound like her accent. It was funny and it's extra funny seeing non Asians shift in their seats about it.

Winner: Very well deserved, they were clearly above the rest of the competition this week.

Loser: I actually think they needed another year or two before joining the show. They have a good foundation, but needed more time to marinate to really stand out.

I actually thought Nymphia and Dawn had the best concept, but Sapphira and Plane were definitely the best duo of the night.

Next ep is the makeover challenge and I feel like there's just no way Morphine's going home on that. And I think Sapphira/Nymphia/Plane are a lock for the finale. I'm thinking Q might be the Loosey of the season.

Carson and Michelle goofing around was probably my favorite part of the whole challenge, it seemed like they were genuinely just having fun and I really love that. Also, that lipsync was basically anal vore. That bitch ate her with her rear end. Just sucked her right up. Goddamn.

I honestly thought Dawn would have a detachable bottom half of the skirt for all those cutouts she favors. But she was bodied hardcore by Morphine. Florida girls don’t play with lipsyncs!

As for UkvTW, they’re setting up for Tia Kofi to win, which, granted, everyone is epic, but Marina man… she’s next level fierce. She deserves to win.

I’m not convinced it’s being set up for Tia. She legitimately did the best this episode and the final was announced to be a lip sync smackdown and the only one Tia has a chance against first round is LGD. And even then, I think they’ll give it to Marina if it’s Tia and Marina final 2. Which is it what it should be, they’ve both been great this season but Marina is next level.
