Sorry, I should have spoilered my post.

No it’s completely my responsibility, the show was aired so completely acceptable not spoilering.
I think I wanted to spoiler myself, iyswim? I wasn’t invested enough to want to avoid doing so

In the final. When she was sidling off
And “I just don’t get why she’d choose the dancer??”. Proper genuine laughs, those bits were great

On this recommendation I started watching US season 14 during my hungover day off.
I’m only towards beginning of episode 4 but, whilst I get Jasmine is annoying, there’s something suggestive of possible undiagnosed neurodiversity there and the treatment she’s getting feels quite uncomfortable

I don't want to spoiler you again as I'm further along but I think it becomes increasingly clear that some of the more strident reactions to Jasmine are more about them.On this recommendation I started watching US season 14 during my hungover day off.

I loved both of Blu's outfits, on the final and also throughout the whole season - the make up is also stunning. Ru is obsessed with the "future" of drag and reaching young people so that might explain the choice. Obviously Pangina would have won if Blu hadn't eliminated her, so it turned out to be a very clever move indeed!
I mean, this is exquisite! Next level! Blu also showed that vulnerability that Ru likes to drag out of people so much and can be funny too.
Lots of amazingly, creative looks from Blu here: Blu Hydrangea (@bluhydrangea_) • Instagram photos and videos
Looking back at Mo, these are good - (first one inspired by Sully from Monsters Inc) but it's not quite on the same level IMO.

Actually, if she was deliberately crap, to stay in, that's pretty damned clever!Is that so? I missed that. If that's the case I like her even more! Smart people conserve their energy and save it for the big battles! And this is war!
I did really think JuJuBee was going to get kicked out though, some of the efforts were just a joke and I was thinking there was a loss of edge. I'm glad it was done on purpose, if that's actually the case, it shows some nerve!

Yeah, it's amazing. Very Vegas + Carnaval. But I think Blu's outfits were more art+fashion+creative than Mo's as well as having a better finish. Pangina was the only one who was on the same level, IMO.I absolutely loved this one

i know the smudge is true
Yeah tbf I thought Blu had a good chance and don't resent her win. She's a lot better than on her season, you can tell she's a lot more polished. I think she was always primarily an insta queen, but now she's developed some charisma you get from performing too.

From having looked at WOW properly, it appears to solely consist of various Drag Races and associated dragumentaries

Not getting the Blu hate. It turned out that all of them would have booted Pangina, except Jujubee. Mo, Baga, obviously Janey… don’t see how you can drag Blu for dumping Pangina, and then be Team Mo.
And, while I understand that Pangina took it harder than most, partly for cultural reasons, that doesn’t make what Blu did any worse than had the reaction been more controlled. Being emotionally invested in winning shouldn’t protect you from losing.
Also, I thought Pangina was really graceless and harsh when she returned, and demanded justification. Her sense of entitlement was unendearing - like she thought there was no justification whatsoever for her to go, when actually, her snatch game was bloody dreadful. She had been amazing in previous weeks, but one bad week has sent home many great queens.
That said, I thought Mo had it in the bag until that final lipsynch. The lipsynchs are always edited to favour the winner, so it’s hard to be sure, but I do think Blu’s performance was better. It was more inventive. Less samey. It would’ve been hard to say that Mo was the better one in that performance.
Which is tricky. RPDRUK usually has a final lipsynch but Ru’s decision is holistic. If those were the rules for this format, Mo would have won. But when it all came to be decided on one lipsynch, it woildve been tricky to give the crown to Mo who was… fairly dull.

I really warmed to Baga towards the end - her vulnerability was really endearing. And she stepped up (should've won Snatch Game I think).
Pangina did not deal with her return gracefully - but hey. She was hurt.
I think Blu deserved to win tbh. Though I feel much fonder of the other three.

i didn't think Pangina was ungraceful bearing in mind she was the victim of a tactical shitshow, but then Jimbo was such a colossal dick in comparison i noticed that more.
also didn't think Pangina's snatch game was dreadful, just mediocre. which i know is often the downfall of a decent queen.
i did not warm to Baga at all, tbh i thought the vulnerability was an act.

Is anyone ready for season 4? Just May is the only one I recall seeing a few times (at least twice with friendofdorothy). I think she'll do well but I don't think think she'll win.
