Omg I actually cried at the end, that lipsync was emotional and I am sad to see her go as I think she deserved to be in the top three purely for her fashion creativity and the looks she pulled off. The crude humour overkill blew it for her.
Fuck Ellie Diamond :D I just don't get her at all and hope she goes next.
Bimini to win, she's gorgeous, funny and a complete original.
Tayce is also such a looker but she lacks emotion and vulnerability on stage imo, more of a model than a performer.
Lawrence definitely deserves top three. Him and Bimini are real performers, both work so hard every time.

Agree with all of that.

LED is on borrowed time
 
I really like Ellie Diamond, I think she’s really blossoming.

throwing Awhora under the bus with the running order – yay! and then Awhora bitching about it after she’s done nothing but be mean about her – she can fuck right off. how the others can expect her to be nice about it when they’ve been so openly awful to her face.

Tace is a real sweetheart, maybe her low self esteem explains why she puts up with Awhora!

Awhora totally bombed at the standup. shame.

Ellie D was so surreal, can’t decide if it worked and got the impression that’s what everyone was thinking.

fucking hell Biminy was awesome!

not impressed by Laurence at all. middling at best.

Tace really playing up the accent, very thingy out of Gavin and Stacey. she’s so personable, she doesn’t even need to be that funny you just like her. can’t believe Biminy was mocking her repeating a phrase when she said ‘not a joke, just a fact’ a million times…

Laurence is such a hypocrite going on about how she thought she and Ellie were friends when she has put her down and belittled her throughout the series.

actually surprised Ellie was safe, thought it would be Tace.

Brilliant lipsync from Tace, really classy.

yes! Awhora has finally gone home.

Yup, it's not like A'Whora's jokes would have been any less bad if it was a different order. Seemed more a case of pre-blaming someone else for your own failures. Still, shame she went, as it made good TV. Bimini will probably win, deservedly so. Tace or Tia for Miss congeniality. I thought Lawrence was also a massive bellend to Ellie. Not cool.

Aww -I looked it up and was all ready to come in and spill the beans, so to speak...

Anyway, I’m going to rep for Laurence a bit. I think his relationship with Ellie is personal and emotional (in a sibling kind of way). I imagine Scotland is a comparatively tiny drag scene, and he’s obviously at its pinnacle. It might all be in his head, but he’s an insecure gay kid who had banked on Ellie being on his side, which is why his reaction seemed so irrational.

It’s no secret that I’m obviously delighted with this week’s loser. It’s a two horse race, now, between Bimini (whose standup set really didn’t look as assured as they were saying) and Laurence. Bimini is on a really uninterrupted trajectory, while LC has (to name a drag race cliche), got caught up inside his own head since his lip synch week.

I do not get the hassle everyone gave Ellie Diamond. Its a fucking competition, of course you're going to put everyone at a disadvantage if you can. You want to win ffs.

Still Bimini to win though

I think it was shady, what she did, but the main problem for her was that it was so blatant.

Normally in Drag Race, in group challenges, people work together to create the best group performance they can. And people will pick roles that show their strengths.

This was just throwing A'Whora under a bus. If people do shady stuff usually, it's a bit more subtle than that, isn't it? So, I can see why A'Whora and Lawrence were so pissed off, but I do think they did also over react a bit - yes it is a competition. It's a shame cos that will bite Ellie on the arse in the future, she'll have to live with that shady queen label now.

Did you notice how Bimini and Tayce stayed silent during the debacle? Interesting. They probably wanted to watch it all play out rather than get involved.

Anyway, I think Bimini is the clear frontrunner now, closely followed by Lawrence, then Tayce, then Ellie.

Bimini was just comic gold, and their runway outfit so original. The zits were so beautifully made. What a concept.
Lawrence was fantastic at the comedy too apart from the slowness, and what a great runway look. Like a strawberry angel delight filled with rhinestones.
Tayce is really opening up, I think, and revealing her fabulous wit. I'm finding her really endearing now.
Ellie - totally bonkers stand-up, and rather forgettable runway.
A'Whora - I think she was booted out because of her comedy filth. Ru obviously hated that. It's a shame, I think she deserves to be there more than Ellie, but the workroom will be more fun without her negative vibes I think!

Wasn't that bad. Didn't need bleeping out. I found the bleeping funnier than the routine though. :oops: And her face after she got her critiques was even funnier. :oops::oops:

The roasting they gave LED was a bit much really. She is probably the next to go though.

Could be any of the other three to win. Tayce is underestimated.

I agree, they did overreact. The strength of the individual performance is by far the most important thing - the order won't make THAT much difference to individuals. But when given the power to choose the lineup, thinking about the quality of the overall show is a better strategy isn't it? It just comes across as a bit blatant and sneaky to do what she did. But it's not the massive deal they were making it. It probably warranted a few seconds of comment!
 
There is something about reality show contestants going after each other for "fixing" things rather than the producers that I find charming.
 
I always assume that the untucked (well i don't watch the show but the bit after the runway) arguing is not quite scripted but very much encouraged/produced.

I don't think Tayce should have been bottom 2 this week. Ellie D to go next please.

I can't blame LED for using the line up to her advantage, it's a competition after all. And though the order does make a difference it's not a massive one, content and performance will override positioning.

I just kept thinking blimey they've never auditioned for an amateur musical where the science of shading, running order and performance is an art form!! :D

Tbh I would have gone for the "shit sandwich" of Bimini and Lawrence first and last with the others in between as I think that would have been a better overall dynamic but I can't blame LED for what she did.

Anyway Bimini was brilliant and looked amazing as well! She is my favourite followed by Tayce.

Agreed. Awhora's material would still have been bad no matter where she was in the running order.
 
I was surprised they Lawrence get away with being such a mess in recording even though they obviously managed to cut together the bits that worked and you couldn’t tell too much. Bimini was awesome, Tace was good and Ellie was as they said a bit too realistic.

Tace looked amazing on the runway although they were right it wasn’t a dame at all.

Bimini’s look was cute and clever.

Lawrence had the worst outfit I thought but they liked the cleverness of it.

Ellie D’s makeup was brilliant and I thought they were a bit harsh on the outfit.

Bimini was a clear winner this week.

I really did expect Lawrence to be bottom two.

that was the closest and best lip sync this season and I did half expect a double chantay.

Yay cos I like them both.

Biminy’s got to win I think, although I’d be happy with Tace winning and ok with the other two as well as thankfully no bitches got through to the end this time!

In terms of runway I disagree about Laurence. His look was total panto. The silly hat, tape measure waist piece, oversized dressmakers’ pins... every aspect of it was panto except the length, but drag prefers a sexier angle. It was the best runway for me.
And the ting is, in the BeastEnders stuff, he got there in the end with quite a challenging part. I don’t think salvaged takes were stitched together. I think he got there in the next take, we just didn’t see it. Which isn’t to say he wasn’t at risk. If Ellie or Tayce had worn better panto runways, he’d have been bottom two.

I am left wondering this week, what the overseas audience will make of it. Neither Enders nor panto are going to be super familiar references, and as for the mannequin Danny Dyer...!

In fairness Lawrence could have been generally OK in the recording but they just cut together the worst parts for the show!
 
i do wonder why they sometimes overdo the British references when Ru himself doesn't get them at all. i'd rather they directly and clearly say to camera something about the key differences between UK and US drag than crow-bar in stuff that overseas peeps won't get.
