I thought Ella was just so more polished than the other two in the music thingy. Also loved the outfit.
Really liked Kitty’s catwalk outfit, nicest thing she’s worn the whole series by a thousand miles.
What was going on with Veronica’s last outfit? Impeccable face and then wtf below?
That was the shittest final lipsync I have ever seen. possibly the shittest lipsync ever. Awful. Was Ella even trying?! SO lowkey.
Based on that I expected Kitty to win. How the fuck did Krystal win? Just NO.
Are you kidding? Fuck off.

I was surprised by Ella in the lip synch,
I think her dress hampered her but I also wondered if she was trying for a more understated, playing the character of Dusty Springfield vibe iyswim
I still think she deserved to win even after the lip synch but then I thought Bimini and Davina did as well and I got those wrong!!

Davinia was totally robbed but i was never confident that Ru liked her. Vivienne was so much more American.
Ella should have won though. or Kitty for the likeability. Krystal is a fucking barbie and i grew to sort of like her but just no.

I also wasn't keen on Krystal's last runway look, she's had some amazing outfits but I didn't like the asthetic of the overly massive boobs, or the chains.
However I think I'm maybe a bit more traditional in what I like in drag.

There was no way a plus size comedy queen would be the winner 2 seasons in a row so kitty was out; then between ella and Krystal, the backstories were: successfully theatre actor starts doing drag and is instantly really good at it, versus someone who devoted their whole life to it and struggled a lot more to get to the level they're at (which, in the final routine, was probably the best of all 3 anyway). So I can see why.

love is the answer
I was rooting for Ella for a long time. But in the last episode I became convinced that Krystal was the worthy winner, and I think she deserved it. Ru loves someone who conquers their demons and has a bit of a journey of growth and Krystal ticked all those boxes. She is wise for her age too. Consistently excellent runways too. Ella will be fine...

anyone watching the UK vs the world?
i LOVE the Thailand queen so much, seems so nice, great performance, great lipsyncing (dancing, comedy, expressive face and actually good at the lipsyncing itself and not even her first language!).
bit sad none of the ones i really liked from UK or Canada are on, although i quite like Cheryl. and 2 repeat offenders from US (although i do like Monique, bored of JuJuBee).

Poor Juju seems tired 
Also love Monique. Not sure the atmosphere changed that much other than those already present getting scared when she walked in haha. Miss Hart’s performance! I want it to own on iTunes 
Pangina seems l0vely, and so does Janey. Baga can do her schtick, I don’t mind. Blu is a fucking weirdo…so cutesy but absolute balls of steel. I literally woke up thinking about how she volunteered to hold Monique’s gown then made a shit job of it but Monique is still expected to be grateful. Just no, gurl. Don’t mind Cheryl, why not. Jimbo blah and v lucky her meat act hit the spot with the judges.
Who else is there? Oh, poor Lemon! Ha ha. She certainly wasn’t staying after Janey came out looking like that.

I don't like Jimbo's drag at all, despite its obvious skill. Lemon was really unlucky imo, was looking forward to seeing more of her.

i know the smudge is true
I think monique is going to get the bitch edit this series.
I actually love juju and don't think I can see enough of her
Gutted about lemon, but she's never been very polished so this sort of competition would just eat her up.
Why are there only UK season 1 queens!

Jujubee was bored herself, I think. Phoning it in and presumably has pocketed a fee.
Monique pissing me off. Clearly thinks she outclasses the rest because of her expensive wardrobe.
Thought the Dutch queen was fucking lucky. Talent was shit and while her runway was lovely, Lemon’s was gorgeous, elevated and better themed. Thought the criticism of Lemon was a bit odd, tbh. I mean she was totally mid-table, but I’m going to say she was better than Jujubee in both elements.
And ffs, Baga was just fucking terrible! I liked her princess Di walk-in look, and think the usa queens didn’t get the reference… but her runway was a swing and a miss (the face paint not matching the dress was -imo- inexcusable) and her fucking talent was embarrassing. The outfit was basic, the song was both badly written and obviously leant heavily on the tired “much better” thing, (which, if you’re going to read Lemon for unoriginality…!) but the worst thing was that she was trying to match her spoken “ad-libs” to pre-recorded ones, and inevitably getting the timing out. Presumably she has access to the original track. Wouldn’t be a big task to have the spoken bits taken out of the mix, just leaving the singing to lip sync to and the shout-outs to do live. Anyway, I was embarrassed for British drag that she went through.
Jimbo was great, and the bit where he first opened the talent suitcase really demonstrated a command of physical theatre comedy that’s genuinely impressive. But… I don’t like him. I think I felt like that on his season, but I don’t remember why. The boobs thing feels a bit off… I never like queens whose aesthetic is enormous boobs (feels a bit misogynistic?), so it might be that. Or perhaps I was just cross at the lack of finished makeup suitable for lipsyncing. Queens have definitely been read before for not doing lashes and lips and just having face paint under a mask.
Cheryl was good value. Blu could’ve won it if she hadn’t been the kid who wore uniform on mufti day.
Pangina was great, but I didn’t think her runway was amazing - the straggly, ratty ponytail was given far too soft a ride, and I’m glad it was gone for the lipsync - the backcombed bunches were fab. She reminds me oddly of Tia Koffi.
Tldr? Usa - sticks up their arses
Canada - Lemon v unlucky, Jimbo great but annoying
Netherlands - disappointing
Thailand - impressive
Uk - Baga needs to go. Now.

Baga was awful and annoying again. I am SO mad at Pangina for making her outfit. Baga should have gone.
also, why have a three outfit challenge and then judge solely on the last one.
Jimbo is a dreadful lip-syncer, makes almost no attempt to dance. found them really annoying as well this week.
