Ivy Winters did a Victor/Victoria-style outfit back in Season 5. You know, that dancing challenge where they had a double elimination. Hmmm. I wouldn't say they look down on the movies, and contestants have also gleefully referenced John Waters and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

What's really weird was that Ginger wasn't really getting a bitch edit in the show until very close to the end, but she had almost a completely different attitude while on Untucked. In general, Bianca Del Rio was always very upfront with her shade, while it seemed like Ginger mostly saved it when Ru was away. I felt

On second watch, Dax's performance in that Lip Sync was not terrible. Her moves were fairly on point and looked prepared, and her lip movement was also solid. The biggest sin was that her face was not expressive enough for the song. So not nearly as dull as Vivienne/Honey's performance, but considering the

I really want Kim Chi to go far, but I'm unsure about her performance skills. I want her to be more than just a funnier, more self-aware Miss Fame!

Another good idol use was the first season with the current power level of the idol, Fiji, Yau-Man used it correctly to turn a 4-2 vote into a 0-2 vote, but that was also partly because planned boot Stacy blabbed "I predict something shocking will happen!" and Yau correctly surmised, "Oh, shit, a potential blindside!"

There was an Immunity Challenge in Pearl Islands that was basically Speed Anagrams.

All three of those people voted for Denise to win. I'm convinced Malcolm and Penner were acting it up for the cameras ("YOU suck, and YOU suck, and YOUUUU suck!") because Denise was such a lock to win that they wanted to have their fun.

It could also be that other members of the alliance have way better relationships with Kelly/Ciera/Abi than Savage did, and they figured he would be the most probable counter-target. If Stephen is willing to work with Ciera to vote Joe off, he'd be worth keeping around longer than Savage.

Fishbach is really hoping for another challenge where the biggest skill required is math.

You have to play the game with the mindset that you control your own narrative and you have a chance of winning the game by making the right moves, otherwise, why bother showing up?

Cochran's season was also dominated by the editors reintroducing us to Coach.

Interesting how they have four players from Cagayan (three from the same tribe even), none of whom seemed like they really wanted to work with each other when that could have been a solid power alliance.

Katya will really shine once they stop having to do all these team challenges where Katya is inexplicably placed on a malfunctioning team dynamic.

Actually, it seems like in these LSFYLs, the more glamorous queen gets to stay.

Yeah, I felt Max did what she could. She only had a few moments to try to make Courtney Act seem funny, while Courtney herself had an entire season to try.

Well, that sucked. I'm sort of glad that a lot of queens felt the same way (both Ben De La Creme and Darienne Lake agreed!), especially since this was an early exit with less room to make an impression.

BenDela read Bianca for having the same dress in 20 different colors in the Puppet Mini-Challenge. Bianca jokes about it too during her commentary with Alaska in this season's premiere.

She just doesn't seem like a positive person or a team player. It's not a coincidence she keeps getting picked late. On an individual level, she's a solid performer, but I'm guessing the other queens don't see her a team player at all.

The preview for next episode makes me nervous for my favorites.

Last season, I felt like April Carrion, Milk, and TKB (also maybe Vivacious) were the only queens that brought an interesting perspective to fashion, and the final six contestants, the ones who lasted the longest, were not good at changing up their styles. Season 6 was the weakest season in terms of fashion. When
