Wake up and smell the psychosis!\

I still can't quite decide if Elliott's snipes at Kandy and Nina Tina were well orchestrated attacks on obvious sore spots to rattle nerves, or just the observations of someone with no filter at all and no malicious intent.

Either way I love them and their weird face.

I especially enjoyed the Nina West jibe at Tina during Untucked, as I had made the same comparison to my husband earlier in the episode in response to the Tinman outfit.

Not sure I have the stamina for 16 episodes with UK S2 on top of it now. I go through phases of getting burnt out on Ru's poo poo and there's a lot coming all at once.

I think that's precisely what Kandy was trying to figure out, if she should go off or not.


Missi Pyle is already a pretty good drag name.

The second episode was a lot better but I'm bummed out because a couple of the queens I'm most interested in are in timeout and I would really like to get to know them :(

Just so it doesn't come off too negative, Eliott's looks were some of my favorites of the night so i do really like the second chance angle.

I liked everyone this episode but especially Olivia Lux. I have two mild fashion comments: while LaLa Ri looked amazing, I wanted an updo or something sleek bc the shape of her hair kinda got mixed up in all the ruffles and the silhouette lost some definition. Also I really wanted Kandy Muse's shorts to either be longer so they read as shorts or be cut up much higher on the sides bc it looked kinda like a shiny diaper.

Olivia has an insane amount of talent AND polish. I like a lot of queens this season and she's not even my favourite but if I was a betting man I'd put my money on her, incredible voice doesn't hurt.

I don't think she'll make it past congeniality, but Olivia Lux almost hurts to look at her face is so gorgeous.

Kandy was my fav from the MTQ though if Symone can act then it's game over.

I have absolutely no reason to believe symone is not a powerful comedy queen whether she knows it or she doesn't. I don't even know exactly why I believe this, but something about the way she sold her looks and her lip synchs and everything just gives me this sense of someone who naturally performs just by existing? I dunno i'm drunk and stoned and thats the best I can do. I'm in love with her for sure. I still think Olivia is a top contender and she's the one I'm thinking "if she can act its game over" about (can she? I can't even remember if that was mentioned as one of her things or not), but I think Symone is the queen I'm looking forward most to seeing in the snatch game.

Based on her quick wit in episode 1, basically calling RuPaul a crossdresser to her face in a stressful situation, I agree.

Yeah she was strong off this and then the win in week 2 AND the blessed "you got it kid" means she would have to murder one of Ru's most beloved women in snatch game to go home before top 5 at the least

I think it was someone on IMHO that said that symone just knows where the cameras are every single time they shoot her and that seems about right to me. Lots of seasoned stage performers couldn't do that to save their lives so it just really stands out on this show when someone is a natural. I dont even think its intentional on her part, its very much just an amorphous aspect of her star power.

Bob being correct about Symone's runway walk.

But I don't care if she does that move a lot, I love it.

I used to work in a really nice bottle service nightclub and we paid one girl to come in and dance on friday saturday nights. Not like go go dance or anything, we paid people to do that as well but this chick would be paid like, 20 bucks an hour plus a massive bar tab to just come in and dance on the regular rear end floor. No requirement to engage with any guests at all. I remember she moved like this. Its actually just magnetic.

I think her skin tone looks incredible under stage lighting. I didn't think much of her photo dress in the werk room but she looked radiant in it on the runway.

We were watching Untucked last night and I was convinced that they were in front of a green screen because the lighting and focus was so weird, but eventually they got up and wandered into the background.

This whole season just looks real weird. Lots of new post production stuff everywhere. Hard to tell whats related to covid filming restrictions and what isn't. I assume the sparkly insta filter on the main stage is entirely an aesthetic thing. Drives me fkn bonkers. I also had a mini jump scare during the fashion show challenge when they did the weird jump cut between queens and then had Michelle say something like 'there she goes'

what a humorous anecdote.
Speaking of post production choices: Can whoever is in charge of the "camera flash" effect during the mini challenge runways tone it the gently caress down? I legit was getting a headache at the end.

She's doomed. This will define her entire arc on the show and she'll be gone in two eps UNLESS she's either insanely funny or does some wild lipsync gimmick we've never seen.

There are some rough girls this year.

I really like drag race UK, I get the subtleties more, and the girls are a lot more bitchy.

Also, is anyone else getting League of Gentleman vibes from Ginny?

Oh, and one more thing, the hair cuts are loving awful this year.
