Kandy made the conscious choice, long before standing on that runway, to put that outfit and wig in a suitcase with the intention of wearing them both on RuPaul’s Drag Race and being filmed.

They were so delicate about calling out Utica’s utter failure of a roast! She wasn’t just “a little harsh.” Heck, she wasn’t even telling jokes! It was shitty, mean-spirited, fatphobic bullying, from someone who’d just put on a big ol’ performance out of not wanting to cause any racial offense in the makeover ep. They…

The script was just a mishmash of unrelated, unfunny references that went on way too long.

Gigi got a lot of wins last season to set up a Gigi vs Sh***y P*e plotline that ultimately got edited out. So viewers just got Gigi getting a ton of wins that felt absolutely unearned. That said - wins don’t mean much in this era of Drag Race.

Okay, you just lost me; I adore Gilda Radner and liked her stand-up film.

I 100% that queens of color get disproportionate criticism when it comes the their personality. Thinking queens like Kennedy Davenport, Jasmine Masters and Ra’Jah O’Hara getting slammed by toxic fans 

This should be the A.V. Club “Weecap” of the week. You know, like the ones TWoP used to have, or the 1 minute “quick” version of stories on the Christian Science Monitor website.

No one should be surprised when a comedy challenge on this show is badly written.

Gigi had 4 wins last season and still lost to Jaida. 

shade rattle

YES. I think it has to do with the amount of children watching drag race because of their super cool mothers. Or maybe because RuPaul is now a centrist, who knows.

So I saw an episode where Kandy was the funniest and the most well rounded character though with a horrible runway - not as bad as the alien though -, Rosé was kind of cute in both acting and challenge, Olivia was read on the runway for random reasons - Cynthia Erivo sorry but a competition is about who is the best…

I’d feel better about that if AS wasn’t such a shit show at this point. Olivia, having come in fifth place, would also have no chance of winning, so she’d have to want to appear in order to market herself. And she’s doesn’t come across as much of a Branding Queen.

It’s an interesting debate, and one that deserves a place in discussing this show. Reality shows in general edit real people into cartoon charicatures of themselves and offer them up for public judgment; this show, among many, has done an incredibly poor job of protecting them from toxic fan behaviour once the show…

Kandy’s high final placement wouldn’t have drawn nearly as much ire, though, if she hadn’t been so grating and obnoxious and had actually performed well during the first half of this long, long season. And she called herself a “villain” tonight, so she’s clearly well aware of reality show tropes, and is willing to use…

For me this has always been Symone’s race, but Mik has a lot to offer too.

I’m liking this season less and less. What does a thirty year-old kids’ movie have to do with drag? Couldn’t they do another camp sexploitation movie like Boobarella? I’m getting increasingly uncomfortable with the desexualization of a party of gay life that is supposed to be celebratory about sexuality. It’s no…

Everyone clocked Liv needing to go different for the same reason

Everyone, with the exception of Symone: THAT IS NOT THE CATEGORY.

This challenge and the performances were pretty meh. I did think Rosè was the rightful winner of the challenge
