I feel like I wasn't enjoying this season very much because there wasn't any one (or two, or three) queens I really connected with and wanted to win. But you know what — I'm on Team Trinity now. Something about her going at Rizzo with that tape with such determination. She is the Tracy Flick of Queens.

I finally sorted out why I am not connecting with this season, and it's because there isn't anyone I really want to see win (even season 7 had Katya). There are queens I'd be fine with winning, but no one that I am really rooting for - and I'm used to having more than one! I'm not sure what's contributing to this,

Oh, I agree its bad. But what is she doing to make it so bad, as compared to the other queens? They're all matte, where she is…wet?

Can someone explain why Aja's makeup is so bad compared to the other queens? Is she using vaseline as a primer? Actual oil paints? When she put on those eyebrows it looked wet and greasy, and I can't figure out what she is doing to look like that…

I loved her quote in Untucked when she stood - "My exoskeleton is rumpled!" Or something similar.

Darienne's comment about people not understanding her sarcasm made me actually shake my head. "Oh, I'm just sarcastic!" Is such a cover-up that nasty/bullying people tend to use. The reaction that you're getting, that no one understands you are just sarcastic, should suggest to you that you aren't actually being

I want to like her. I've seen her in videos with Willam and thought she had great energy and was fun, but for some reason she is just not bringing that - or the intelligence she showed in the first episode - to the competition right now.

I thought the same thing about the criticism of Ben - what is she supposed to do on the runway? Speak in her, or, I suppose, in this instance, his, non-Dela voice? Tell personal stories?

How adorable was Joslyn's fiance and dog? Such a sweetheart and it just made me like her more to see her reaction and how kind and sweet he was. Also laughed at "are you gonna cut the ass out of your wedding dress?"

Yes, very true. It was a glorious moment - Ru was well and truly fed up with her, which is rarely seen. "I picked you because I saw something in you," she said, but I wonder if now Ru was second guessing herself or if Laganga really had a different personality and affect before she was on the show.

Courtney's "picked the wrong one" was probably the best thing that she has contributed to this show. Darienne's reaction shot was fucking priceless. Everyone felt it, though, you could see it in their reactions in the back line.

Yes, so much yes. And then perhaps show a clip of his performance.

I'm surprised they havent had Johnny Weir yet. Fingers crossed.

I absolutely adored that moment. She managed to seem very sad about it, but not for Laganja at all.

I really enjoyed Joslyn this episode - the "gasp!" was so well done, and she also got some good quips in. I think she is definitely smarter than she is letting on and just needed to get more settled to slip into the ditzy, dumb character. Though there is still work to do, since her gagging in Untucked was a little bit

I'm glad Jinkx won - and as much as I agree with her being edited a certain way, she had nothing to do with that. Ru had a narrative she wanted to tell…

I felt very strong second hand embarrassment for Jinkx there…it proved she really is the misunderstood theater kid, getting a crush on the hot girl and then realizing she was in the friend zone the whole time.

Sure, her meanness was a mind game - but it wasn't clever, or inspired, it was just black sludge and vitriol. Be a bitch, but make it entertaining. She's so boring and clueless. It's the same thing that made everyone despise PhiPhi so much.

liked for snot twat.

Every season just needs Latrice to come in at critical moments, like her Snatch Game intervention. Or even if she was just around the do a neck roll for the audience.
