I can't even with that lip sync. First time I've gone back and re-watched one in a longgggggg time. Also loved Silky's face after Ru's lip sync assassin comments...

My first thought was "lol I hope Silky keeps spouting off about how she's ready to throw down in a lipsynch"

I mean, I'm sure Silky has a couple tricks but I have a hard time seeing how Yvie or Brooke won't trashcan anyone else this season in a lipsynch

The best part of the episode (besides the whole LSFYL) is that both Brooke and Yvie have likely already used up their power-ups for the season. Just like we were already exposed to Eureka's Taint Swiffer and Kameron's splits way before the Finale, do they really have any other tricks to surprise us?

Neither of them is Peppermint, who I think still had another set of moves available even after the Season 8 Finale.

I was wondering who would be able to take on Brooke because she moves. so. well. Yvie might have a shot, depending on the song? But yeah, nothing anybody else has shown so far comes close to what those two just did. And I have to assume they both have more they haven't shown yet.

That was one of the best lipsyncs i've ever seen. The goddamn strength both of them showed, esp. Yvie with her condition. Goddamn.

Also either of Nina or Shuga was robbed. gently caress Silky. She was just doing herself in the Snatch Game, there was no character there despite TS Madison (what I gleamed from a few clips just now) being a mirror. Blech. I couldn't believe how cringey Yvie and Brooke's characters were though - yikes - Yvie at least had the voice but no material - Brooke was a loving disaster. Celine's accent is not that thick but aside from that there is no like, character with Celine - she's just an amazing singer.

A lot of queens from previous seasons tripped on this too - picking singers but like, doing noting with it cause there is nothing to work with - they have to go with larger than life beings. Future queens gotta put some more goddamn thought into it.

But yeah, the LSFYL was tops and there was no way in hell either of them were going home.

Looks like we got another gimp suit next week so I wonder who the hell that is.

Celine has a thick accent, it's just a thick French-Canadian accent and not that of a rural Canadian farmer.

Also HOT TAKE but I wasn't as blown away by the lip sync as everyone else, I guess. I mean it was phenomenal and both Brooke and Yvie are lit af but it felt like a gymnastics routine for a good chunk of it and not in an exciting way for me lmao

Def deserving of the double shantay tho

I was probably still moderately shook by Brooke doing her ruveal on the runway. I've seen her do it before and was expecting her to bust it out for the lip sync itself when I saw her in that outfit, then BAM bitch turned the runway into an excuse to perform and I was v much here for it.

e: seriously tho lol at saying celine has nothing to work with other than being a good singer. she's a notoriously hilarious weirdo

Also before I forget, Plastique's look was definitely a different piece than BLH's. They probably used the same designer pre-season, though-- he also did Trinity's plastic look in AS4!

From what I'm reading everyone's dog piling on Plastique right now, something about even her drag voice bring fake too? Last week Untucked made me actually angry at the show which is the opposite reason I watch drag race so I'm just following the thread and other stuff I hear cause I can't deal with this season's queens.

Very this. Same performance as Vanjie. But I feel like Ru is talking to and about Silky the same way as Tyra Sanchez, Bianca Del Rio, Bob the Drag Queen and some other season winners including saying for the snatch game 'that kid has it'(very telling Ru line throughout the years). Also I think Ru loves the fact that Silky has a PhD and it would get the big girl thing out of the way, I could see Silky winning it all, ugh.

Nobody transformed into another person which I enjoy most about Snatch Game. Nina should've stayed Harvey, the voice was killing me. Brooke Lynn could've been Tom Green or Detox with minimal effort. I think Plastique's one joke is funny! and another thing

Pls no. Hopefully those allegations are enough to convince Ru not to touch that idea with a 22-inch weave. I don't think I've ever disliked a queen where I couldn't even appreciate their positives. I liked messy S4 Phi Phi, appreciated Ra'jah and even Eureka. Silky is just delusional about her level of talent, petty, and obnoxious, and that's before going into her complete disregard for physical boundaries.

That was the first time Shuga has even registered on my radar in this entire season. What a fun Snatch Game (COOKATACO) and goddaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn that runway dress. That's just straight up my favorite color in general.

Yvie had the look and the voice down enough to be a little eerie, and then came to the game with gently caress all.

I will forever be baffled at the judges taking Vanjie down a peg for just being Vanjie and then handing the win over Silkie is some grade-A nonsense and I know she's just gonna keep getting a pass because as much as she rubs me the wrong way, girl knows how to work it. I just wish she had an off switch. They would have given Nina the win simply for the fact that she came out with her own loving printed cards and made Ru play Pyramid with her.

She was in my carpool when I was a sophomore in high school and was so unutterably cool, like the late-nineties version of what every hipster girl on the planet aspires to today, that I don't think I said a word to her for the whole year out of sheer terror.

Later on, when she was coming up as an actress and I was making a halfassed stab at it, we were adjudged to be a similar "type" so we were sent out for all the same commercial auditions and got to talking and I learned that she is actually very genuinely cool and nice and I felt like an rear end in a top hat for having been afraid of her in carpool. And I ran into her at Jinkx and Dela's Christmas show last year and she is still very cool and nice! So there's that.

I haven't watched this episode yet and I'm dreading it, but just wanted to shout out the second person I went to high school with who's been mentioned in this thread, after Dominique from Stolen Babies.

I stand by my opinion that Shuga, Vanjie, and Brooke all just seem like kind people who would also be fun to hang out with. I'm happy that Shuga seems to be coming into her own a bit more because she's really snuck up as a surprise favorite for me just for her attitude.

I feel like for the last couple of years every time they cut to Michelle Visage during the panel introduction, I am always taken aback by the classy lady on my television. Then I immediately load up the first page and cackle like an idiot.

Shuga looked SOOO good on the runway, goddamn. I hope she keeps doing so well, I've been really enjoying her, too.

Lmao at the camera cutting to Silky making poo poo faces every time someone else got positive critiques. I also agree that I'm not really able to enjoy anything she's doing, she rubs me the wrong way so bad. And I wanted to like her SO MUCH. I loved Rajah's dumb reality villian poo poo, but Silky isn't even an enjoyable villain for me. Her just blanking on Yvie when she was trying to apologize loving infuriated me. Not that she has to accept an apology or forgive Yvie, whatever, but she clearly doesn't have any respect for her if she's not even going to bother to hear her.

If Vanjie doesn't wear a gown or something next week Michelle is going to come over that desk and loving murder her.
