I feel like started strong but now crawling has been the case for every season for a while now. I can't remember the last US season that felt like it had a compelling endgame --- 8, maybe?

I haven't watched Untucked at all this season. Anything noteworthy?

Edit: I had no idea Drag Tots was a real thing. It's uh, something.

I thought . Trinity . should've won this challenge to be honest, but I guess I expected them to spread out the wins a little.

I like the song for the lipsync on its own but it wasn't really a good fit for, well, a lipsync.

I agree with everything in this post.

The thing about the song is that it's a little dancey, but not fast-paced enough to be really good for showing off moves. And then it also doesn't have enough emotional depth to make the face journey really exciting either.

And was it just me or did Ra'Jah throw that lipsync to avoid needing to pick the top 4?

Neither one did a great job at the lip sync. At this point I'm rooting for I don't care.

Ra'Jah winning in purple feels so correct.

That lip sync was a choice though.

Last two episodes have been a little weak, but this season hasn't hit any lows as low as the past several have, imo. Hope the GwaG lives up to the hype and maybe reinvigorates things. I just wanna see all the queens again.

what a humorous anecdote.
I thought she looked like Anathema Device, if she really went full in on the whole witch thing.

I've never really liked the "create a character and do a voiceover" challenges. It was fun in season 7 but the only one I remember is Katya's for being absolutely unhinged. It's just really awkward watching them stand there for like 2 minutes while they read a madlibs paragraph over it. The fact that it was a tie in to a kid's show that nobody watching is in the target audience, nor has any nostalgia for was also hard to sit through. I'd have rather just had Bianca and Latrice show up for real.

Also holy poo poo, they film 2 episodes a week, iirc? It might just be 1 but even with the smaller timescale they've really just had Jiggly and Serena sitting in a hotel room for a goddamn month while they yammer on about the Game Within A Game and don't actually do anything about it until the top four. Goddamn. At least in season 4 and 5 they got to go home after being eliminated.

I feel like she's had some dance hits, and gay men idolize female pop singers more than any gay man that isn't showing hole on main.

They've had guest judges who were far more removed from gay culture than her though. I seem to recall a couple straight NBA players who have been guest judges.

I don't think this season has sucked either. It has been a solid all stars season. This episode was a bit ho hum, but in general, it's one of the better ones.

I love Ra'jah not giving a gently caress and being like, well they are my competition - why SHOULDN'T I throw em out? Like, thats the goddamn game.

That lipsync was garbage tho - the song choice was stupid and doesn't lend itself well to this format.

But yeah, at this point IDGAG who wins - they are all decent in their own right. It's gonna be another few weeks tho, eh? Like the GWaG is gonna be the entire episode.

Ginger is an absolute pro and extremely well-regarded among her peers so it’s hard for me to see her losing this season but Ra’Jah has demonstrated great personal and stylistic growth over this run. She’s listened to advice and “conquered her inner saboteur” multiple times this season by getting out of her head and slaying the ensuing challenge and that’s production catnip

First of all, Kameron pulling the lipstick of her fellow top 4 girl was :(

Since this untucked episode is the one before the GAAAAME WITHIN A GAAAME, Eureka gets the memo that she has to immediately report back to the mainstage for a lip-sync. Instead of her digesting the mini-game like the other eliminated queens, it was like, "Chop chop bitch, glue your wig on and let's go." So she had some very Eureka! emotions.

So if the reddit t was right, the game within a game is going to be a lip-sync battle royale for one of the eliminated to return to the competition..

I'm curious to see who would come back, because none of the eliminated queens are particularly good lip syncers, or what I would call a lip sync assassin.

It may be that the Dutch drag scene is more look focused over all. While the looks in the first season were stellar, I remember the performance challenges and lip syncs were a little lackluster.

Victoria Scone is a Cis Female and isn’t trans to the best of my knowledge. I know Gottmik was our first trans man but I think Victoria still identifies as a woman.
