I seriously don't think I can pick a top four yet, everyone is so loving amazing. I really like Asia, a lot. The Vixen, too. And also I really dig Kameron, and Yuhua and Cracker are fun, and Monique and Monet are amazing and Dusty is really charming and and

I don't feel like Aquaria or Eureka will make it, especially if Eureka can't get out of her head. But hey I could be totally off and they'll be top three.

This season has such an amazing cast, even if I don't like everyone I'm really excited to see them all do well. At this point I don't really care who wins, but I'm sure my feelings will change.

My top 4 so far is miz cracker, aquaria, mayham and kameron (or monet). Really think Eureka should go next week, the lip syncing was shocking during the musical and I can't believe that she said she didn't think anyone else would pick up on it in untucked!

Before the conversation moves too far away from Yuhua, let's not forget that she lactated into her hat and drank it during the hoedown because she is a star.

These girls, not just Yuhua (who is very quickly becoming a favorite), have so much more personality than the last couple of seasons and it is a huge return to form. On that front, I am especially loving Monique and Monet. Their talking heads have just the right amount of shady-but-not-bitchy and confident-but-not-cocky for me and Monique broke my heart talking about how she's trying to build her relationship with her mother and thread the needle of being both a good christian boy and a fierce queen. I look forward to more from both of them.

Also , Kameron: Yes, she's very cut, yes I'm thirsty and basic, but it's shenanigans like these that make me :3:

Kameron's acting talent is gonna keep her in the competition. I think the other queens are sleeping on her because she's quiet.

It's tough rn but if I had to pick a top four I'd pick Yuhua, Mayhem, one of the twins probably, and ... gently caress idk I could go Monique, Blair, or hell Dusty after this week.

Super strong cast so far so I expect my picks that aren't Yuhua and Mayhem to change a lot.

Dusty was at a crossroads this episode. He could've continued to do his stupid dots all over his face to spite Michelle because it's his "signature look" or he could adapt. He chose the latter which is what the show's all about.

Not even that, he found a good middle ground where he had small dots that were very Dusty around the eyes, but not super noticable to Michelle, and the only dot really on his face could pass as a beauty mark. I commend the hell out of that decision esp if the tea about the category actually being 'trademark drag' is true, no wonder he was fussing over whether he should do the dots again after Michelle dragged him the first week.

Yeah I was watching this episode thinking "and here's where Dusty stands on her gimmick and fucks herself", but I was pleasantly surprised. Fitting a little bit of it in as a sort of signature is absolutely fine and kinda cool, but that chocolate chip cookie look would get really old.

Re: face dots, I was all set to ask how often Sasha Velour skipped the unibrow, but on review she varies her brow a fair amount while keeping it recognizably her style. "Dots" is a broad enough idea that Dusty can probably do the same.

What the fuuuuuuuuck

I tried to stream the episode live and the app kept telling me to log in after it would tell me I was logged in. No big deal, I figured, I'll watch it tonight. Put it on tonight, got to the commercial break after "bring back my girls", it jumps straight to whatcha packin with the loser and I can't even get it to go to the lip sync. I'm so loving angry

This same thing happened to me. It seems like someone tucked up and uploaded the episode with the post show crap BEFORE the last act. Literally fast forwarded it 25 minutes and there it was. We were so confused. Someone done messed up.

Fake edit: I just noticed I said “tucked up” but I’ll leave it, Freudian typo.

I don't think I've ever had the patience to watch any length video of someone doing their make-up, let alone a 10 minute one. Yet something about Miss Vanjie made it finally happen. If they do a Miss Fan favorite this year, I feel like she would be a real contender.

Eureka annoyed the poo poo out of me Season 9, but after this episode I'm kind of hoping she pulls it together and makes it a little farther (she won't be final 4, but she deserves a little more time).

I'm loving ready for Aquaria to go. I don't understand why people think she's a hot ticket right now. Her looks are fine but she's vapid and uninspiring, and girl, that loving thing where you make a whole production out of moving every part of your drat body whenever you say a sentence is OVER. Quit bobbing your drat head at the camera!

Edit re: her dumb drama with Ms. Cracker - it doesn't matter who does it first, bitch, it matters who does it better. :colbert:

oh also if y'all didn't know Eurkea lived several years as a woman and now lives as a nonbinary/gender neutral person and is very open about it (they did a post of them through the years for day of visibility). yet that's mysteriously no where to be found in the show.

I know Eureka talked about it last year, but it must have been off the show b/c I don't remember whether she brought it up or not when Peppermint told the other queens she was trans.

She definitely didn't, or if she did it didn't make it past editing. That's super interesting

honestly, the editors and producers of this show probably don't understand genderqueer identities enough to make a compelling narrative about an agender individual. after all, they've mangled "binary" trans narratives multiple times at this point already.

What makes a great instagram personality does not necessarily make a great Drag Race personality. I've said this before, I'll say this again. Before season 5, the fans were convinced that Lynesha Sparx would take the crown.
