I liked the dark wig, which was a welcome departure from her usual look, but the red glittery swath across her eyes and forehead lost me. In my book, only Raja can make that look work. See for reference her Rainforest Realness look.

Seriously - broke my heart to see Pandy sashay away in All-Stars. So many queens were done a great disservice by that whole ghastly 'team' format.

I agree completely. I think dela chose the wrong word to describe Bianca's success in the competition, but I don't think she was trying to dismiss it in the least. Bianca rocketed to Defcon Bitch with little to no provocation. At least she seemed to admit in retrospect that she overreacted.

I REALLY can't understand how Santino could defend Courtney's ensemble, given that it was a bedazzled bra and a sheet. But then, Santino's got a history of heaping undue praise on the fishiest queens by dint of their being fishy.

I agree that she's exuding some low-level bitchery, but I don't see her as on par as Phi Phi, Roxxxy, Coco and even Gia Gunt for toxic villainy. I'm a little sad that she's skewing toward the Delta Work end of the spectrum, choosing to channel her insecurity toward her competitors, because I'd hoped she was better

For the life of me, I can't understand why Dela was nailed to the wall for delivering a similar style/silhouette, when Bianca and Courtney have been serving up the same ballgown/nudie-blonde looks week after week. I call shenanigans.

But makeover those damn irritating tattoos! What the hell are they supposed to be, anyhow? Unfinished?

I just want to go on record about how FLAWLESS RuPaul looked last night. Is this the first time we've seen her in an up-do? (UP. DO.)

I definitely agree that given Joslyn's botching of the interview as well as the runway look merited her being in the bottom two. Though I'm torn as to what would be the biggest talk show sin: getting the guest's name wrong, or not listening/picking up cues from your guests ("It was the Depression - we were penniless."

Where is Benicio Del Toro when you need him?

While I think she's a queen to be reckoned with, I feel I'm getting a lot of the same sort of looks from her. Her Klaus Nomi inspired getup was fantastic, but much of her runway is a remix of blonde hair/bodysuit. What drives me batty is that she goes for these nude or near-nude looks, but doesn't pad for them. Fishy

This is what I find unfair about the competition - not all of the queens competing have the same budget/sewing chops as the other queens do, and routinely get punished for it if all they can afford are off the rack items. Seems almost classist.

Gurl, she bought those tears from China.

It was just so refreshing to see Trinity kill it in the comedy challenge. Here's hoping she takes Ru's pep talk and Mama Bianca's advice to heart and keeps building on that momentum.

Good lord, could anyone be more comedically tone-deaf than Laganja? All the stoner humor, coupled with her kiki minstrel show added to a costume that made her look like a clown tampon - AWFUL.

Can't get enough of Miz Bianca! She's a rare bird in that she uses her wit to help people up instead of tearing them down.

It's so disappointing - Darienne is clearly a funny performer. Why she's letting herself be intimidated by Dela is beyond me. The way she latched onto Dela's comment about being the first to win two challenges and conflating it into a runaway ego is delusional - and a bit scary.

Each episode I'm more and more impressed by how Joslyn is a genuinely nice person. When she started talking to Adore about her comedy routine, I was worried that it was going to devolve into a read; instead she turned it into an all-T Adore pep rally. Now if she could just put some damn clothes on…

Yeah, you don't know her! You don't know her STRUGGLE!

Adaptability seems to be the hallmark of the queens who succeed on the show. You don't have to be great, you just have to be game.
