Totes agree ;)

Shame about Veronica.
I'm glad Krystal didn't win this week, she was great but Scarlett deffo deserved it.

Kitty and Charity had a lovely bonding session didn't they, they both seem very sweet.

Ella Vaday really reminds me, when in drag, of Kate Winslet. I thought she was great this week.
 
Mrs SI and The Girl currently at Grimsby Auditorium for the opening night of Rapunzel - The Drag Panto. Mrs SI currently beside herself that Alexis Mateo is in the same town ket alone same building. Also featuring the UK's own Ellie Diamond, and Tamisha Iman ("is coming/for you") and Trinity K Bonet.
 
Krystal was shocked to be picked near the end but does she not remember she already showed that she’s not great at the dancing?

There was TOO MUCH KITTY in the start of this episode. I can’t take the over-excited super-fan thing.

H totally psyched Ella out.

Also Faye and Lee didn’t really seem to help much with the choreo. Bit shit that the groups weren’t properly warned that they would be doing it themselves.

Hated Kitty’s band outfit. Charity’s outfit and verse just didn’t work.

Something very odd about Scarlett’s verse, she forgot the words and the moves and had a noticeable panic.

In the first group, Kitty was the only one who didn’t visibly fuck up the choreo although I think Krystal was best at styling out the mistakes. It was a mess.

Really wanted the ballad guys to win, all my favourite ones. And it was fucking awesome. Just so brilliant and cheesy. Great verses and everything. Loved it. and big lol at Charity thinking it was close.

Loved the sporty spice outfit on Ella. And actually liked Krystal’s baby spice.

Very disappointed Scarlett didn’t do the official dance to the chorus. Very.

Double chantay was only because they are one person down. Scarlett was a bit meh but obviously should have won.
 
Was a crap task tbh. Sometimes the tasks they get are quite surreal, and I don't really know how they decide who did well and who didn't.
 
Choriza, wonderful repartee.
Charity giving off a relentless 'no-one understands how great I am' vibe.
Scarlett similar especially the moodiness, interrupting, and thinking the Joan Crawford joke was a lifeline.
Rubbish teamwork. They seem to think that simply letting others talk equates to co-operation but they don't really aim to create a performance that is more than the sum of its parts.
Ru and Michelle talking a lot of inconsistent shit. The only good thing about the meaty tuck remarks were the responses.
 
Loving Charity and Krystal basically arguing over which of them best understands what other people will find funny. Um, neither of you, you’re both pretty niche.

Pissed myself at Choriza making an only fools and horses reference. So incredibly British.

I hate it when they cut the filming so you can’t tell if it went well at all. Although I could tell that Charity was taking over even to the point that she’s counting down when they start and not going on Michelle’s action. And then both of the ads turned out pretty fucking shit!

I feel bad for Scarlett but not impressed by the tantrum.

Scarlett’s lipsync was really great, Charity will give me nightmares with that awful gremlin bollocks.
 
A good illustration as to how rushed this series has been was when Scarlett was pouring her heart out about her mum and (I can't remember who she was talking to, Kitty maybe?) the person listening kept on doing their makeup! It was kinda funny, we laughed, but also a bit wtf? Heartless? Rushed?

It's always the same: a queen will have her "moment" when she puts her pain out there and we "get to know the real her and fall in love" but I think it often borders on exploitative pain porn. I certainly don't need any of that to appreciate a queen's work ethic and personality. When someone is more guarded about their private life they almost get punished for it, criticised and told to show "the real you". I really am put off by that aspect of Drag Race and have been since it seems to have become a requirement. If someone wants to share these things, fine, but it feels like its expected. I would most definitely not be happy to share such private things with the WORLD.

I do think Scarlett is funny and has more to offer - also, nothing wrong with walking out and taking a breather when it gets too much, obviously the pressure was too much and Scarlett felt hurt and back in a bad place when she felt isolated and couldn't trust anyone. To me that deserves sympathy not berating.

Oh bugger, just realised I’ve been reading spoilers for the new episode. Tbf that’s ok, when I thought Veronica might go in the design challenge I skipped forward on iplayer, confirmed it, and then could watch the rest of the episode a little sad but not in suspense. :oops:

I used to read the last pages of books before reading the rest as a child too :D
 
Willam's latest version of the working conditions, somewhat backed up by cast members but with the usual 'gossip and conjecture' caveats. Likely also in the depths of million-post subreddit threads.

She and River Medway are my favourites! Though I quite like Ella too as she seems to just get on with things!

Me too. Choriza, River and Ella are my faves. I also love Kitty for her kindness.

Poor Scarlett - she really went down the rabbit hole didn't she. She somehow thought that people saying that she should be the next to go meant they didn't like her, which isn't the case at all.

I'm glad she stayed. Charity was starting to grate, I agree about the gremlin thing, it was getting a bit one-track.
 
I really wanted Charity to stay, just in the hope that she’d change it up and surprise us all on the runway. Instead, it was another week of the Rumpelstiltskin schtick: exquisitely executed, but the same old same old. Not crazy about Scarlett, but she pulled it out of the bag for the lip sync.
 
Oof, tough series
I saw ru's face after the lip synch and was like SURELY NOT but it happened! First time ever I think? Felt a a bit harsh, I liked those two, but I could also see why. I though the whole snatch game was lame really, noone was great.
 
It's gone shit again, the Uk seasons always start off really strong then fall apart. Also what was with Ru advising every single one of them to change their snatch game character when he did the interviews half way through preparing? That was weird. I could have done without macauley culkin.
 
however it is worth it for "gram" norton and allen carr, they have some killer lines every episode still... def the best regular judges across the international drag race schema.

Every recommendation was someone who US audiences would be more familiar with....
