Only when she is not trying at all - #WhereMyPeopleAt, sequinced dress…

I haven't watched it in years. I think Season 9 was the last I watched? I was thinking of the season with Melrose…whichever one that was. It probably happened in a different one as well.

Roxxxy is just…she has some faulty logic, doesn't she? She's basically just stomping her feet and pouting about how not far the competition is. First, what did she think she was getting into? Second, how exactly is Jinkx excelling at challenges luck when many of these challenges can be anticipated, at least the types

I really like the puppets. I agree it's another reading challenge, but they've yielded some really great moments - the PhiPhi puppet with it snaggletooth and Alaska's Roxxxy puppet were real highlights for me. But, I agree, it's a lot of continuing challenges when most reality shows just have one or two - Top Chef's

I did not understand that all - is singing not a skill slightly more elevated than lip synching? But Roxxxy seems to operate with a very narrow conception of what a drag queen is and does, and I think since being on the show, she's lashing out against everything that is contrary to her mental model. But it's a dumb

I died during her puppet show. She had Roxxxy's "voice" down and the endless reveals…you could tell Ru was in stitches too. Well done, Alaska. She's had some of the best moments on the show - like her baby pageant doll, whose name completely escapes me.

I think she is worse than PhiPhi, who was kind of fun to hate, and definitely wasn't able to suck out all of the fun. CoCo is like a black hole, too, and just a spiteful, nasty creature.

I thought it was really interesting they didn't show who Jinkx picked. They didn't discuss it on Untucked, did they? I've been tuning that out since it's just 100% Sour CoCo.

How deluded is Roxxxy - I don't remember exactly what she said but when she was talking about how there are going to be challenges coming up that Jinkx can't do because her glamour just isn't there? "My glamour is real and hers is just another costume?" Really? This is a drag competition! It's all a costume. Plus, I

the other thing that's different is that Sharon and Willam weren't alone - Sharon had Mama Chad and Latrice, and I believe Willam was also close with them, and when Phi2 got started, it wasn't like everyone else just sat there and stared. Last night Detox and Alaska kept looking at each other, like, "You gonna get in

Not just that - her makeup is exactly the same, week in and week out - the white all around the eyes, the narrow highlighting on the nose, thick black eyeliner and lashes. So tired of it.

You know, last week I almost posted that I thought it was going to be Jinkx and Ivy who had the kai kai. Wish I had, so I could gloat about being right. But, since they didn't technically get together, so is there an actual kai kai coming up?

You just had to bring that up, didn't you?

Hopefully it will be next week. It looks particularly bad in the previews.

I think all the queens are going after Jinkx because the lightbulb has suddenly gone on that she's a real contender. Or, they've finally realized they're going to need to get some umbrellas, because it's #MonsoonSeason

I think Coco and Roxxxy are, to an extent, playing Jinkx - by going mean girl on her, they're hoping to take her shaky confidence down more. Also, both of them are just mean, and they're obviously starting to realize that their brand of drag is not getting the same response that Jinkx is getting, so they're lashing

I think Ivy won based on the fact that she did well in the challenge and turned it out on the runway - that dress was clever and fun, and took the directive into a new and creative direction.

Alyssa and Coco revealed why they're not going to win the competition this week when Rolaskatox (I think) was working on lyrics about how if you were down on your luck and should just get a particular wig and carry on, and Coco said

You'd think after Sharon - hell, and Manilla, JuJu, even Willam and Latrice - that this wouldn't even be up for debate anymore. I get the sense that Jinkx is getting read because she's not just awkward, but a little shy, even though she's got a couple of good barbs in there.

I am really over Detox. I enjoyed her at first, but Rolaskatox is wearing thin and she's definitely the least enjoyable member. Michelle is right, she's coasting on the lip movements and thinks that she's sort of above all of this/is the obvious winner amongst everyone. Plus, as someone else mentioned, I get the sense
