Agreed. I'll be happy to see her in the top 5 or so, but I don't think she's really even top 3 for me. Miss Congeniality perhaps? She hasn't blown me away in weeks—just a lot of good enough / safe performances.

Exactly. We've never seen her attack someone while they're feeling vulnerable (and she has actually been shown to be kind to people having vulnerable moments). So I'd be perfectly happy to see her get to the top 5—I'm hoping the rumors about an argument with Michelle leading to her being kicked off aren't true.

I also really liked Kim Chi telling Debbie she could sit on her face. She seems so innocent and first and then stuff like that comes out. LOL.

Yeah, I too have had a rough couple weeks, and when I couldn't get my mind to focus on anything, especially any sort of fiction (be it television show or movie or book), I could slide into this world for an hour to take my mind off things.

I'll also point to Phi Phi O'Hara's 365 Days of Drag project on her Instagram. If you read the captions, you'll often find that the fabulous head piece you're looking at is a bunch of stuff from the dollar store glued and painted to look amazingly high-end.

Socialism.

Based on Untucked, maybe Acid Betty?

I've always sort of felt like there was something sweet to Acid Betty. Like, something about the way she would sometimes giggle in Untucked? Or how, this week, the three New York City girls immediately flew to each other with delight. She plays the bitch (and well) but there was this underlying something which has

Untucked Thoughts:

I actually do think that Bob deserved to win over Thorgy, but Thorgy was a close second for me. And I agree that I hope she doesn't get the bridesmaid edit. She's one of my faves, and I'd love to see her in the Top 3. I sort of feel like a lot of people haven't warmed to her, which I'm sort of surprised by.

Coco's lip-sync skills and precision also cannot be denied.

I assumed they were saving her for a Britney LSFYL myself.

I went out of my way to watch Derrick perform as Britney on YouTube this past week and I was… underwhelmed. She really does look like Britney, but Britney is a fantastic, skilled dancer and Derrick is not. So I'm not expecting to see her get to the top half.

Agreed. But fortunately many of the challenges so far have not been disadvantaging those with financial limitations. Chi Chi is definitely top 5 for me, and I would really be shocked if her relatively inexpensive runway looks get in the way of her making it that far. And so far, many members of this group of

Have you seen her Trish videos? Those slaaaaay me. Based on those, she could definitely do Tootsie.

My guess is that Ru had a double-elimination in her arsenal for this season to be deployed as needed. She might not have expected to use it so soon, and the producers understood how that could seem shady, so they added what was probably naturally-occurring conversation in the edit before the LSFYL.

Not the Gloria Gaynor version we're all so familiar with, but here you go: Latrice in a gown lip-syncing "I Will Survive" in a gown: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

I think they're saving Katya to be one of the front-runners for All Stars. If she came back this season and didn't win it, the would make an All Stars win seem like an "also ran" rather than a triumph.

If you are referring to her kindness to Kim Chi, I think that might be because it seems almost impossible to be unkind to Kim Chi. Like, it would be like drowning a cuddly puppy. Even Tony Soprano was super protective of those adorable little ducklings.

I'm also uncomfortable in general with the way some of the queens with less money are critiqued for their drag. Sure, if you've got no style, you've got no style. But if your drag is limited solely due to financial concerns, that shouldn't be a negative from the judges' perspective. Based on everything we've seen
