They weren't able to pull it off, but Jaidynn and Tempest could have actually been a great pairing. They're such complete physical opposites, the two of them walking out as "twins" is already a sight gag. Regardless, I agree there didn't seem to be any malice in pairing them together.

Yeah, but the fact that it took the third try in ONE EPISODE was pretty great.

I've missed the workroom and I've missed the "here's some stuff, make a conceptual garment out of it" challenges. I was happy to see both this episode.

Ha. Fair point.

This is the difference for me between the kind of manipulation you should just expect in reality tv and the kind that is outright dishonest, which it looks like Max's judging incident may have been. Jinkx was edited to appear nicer and like more of an underdog. They were shaping a character and a narrative. But those…

I think in Ginger's case, the food was actually distracting from a solid character. The actual jokes would have landed better if we all weren't thinking "Oh, wow, another fattie with food. Yawn."

Maybe Ru was hoping for Dueling Donatellas too.

I'm not sure how it would have gone over in Snatch Game, but I would have found silent film star Max holding up elaborate old timey cue cards fucking hilarious.

Yeah, visually it was on point.

That makes sense. I was watching some of season six over the weekend and it occurred to me just how much past challenges have at times played to certain queens' strengths. The Rusical was tailor made for Adore and Courtney, Alyssa excelled in the ballet, Bianca killed with stand-up, Jinkx & Alaska both did great in…

Obviously, accepting a large degree of manipulation in the editing room is a given in reality tv, but that does seem like taking it too far. What I disliked most about that moment is that she seemed to be interrupting her own critique to deflect attention. If that was basically completely fabricated, it seems kind of…

I thought it was really interesting when it came out that Katya is holding back on her full-on Russian Katya character because it's one thing she's confident in, so was afraid to bring it all out on the show and risk it not being well received (if I'm understanding that bit correctly). I've watched her Ruflections on…

Her Sharon Needles was soooo disappointing. She didn't seem to crash and burn so much as just, prove she wasn't going to be able to stretch to meet the challenges of the show.

I've been a Max supporter all season and I still love her signature look, but her "Disney Sharon Needles" was dire and that fuckery during judging was not okay. I'm honestly okay with her going home this week. She's talented, but unlike Sharon she wasn't able to stretch her very distinctive drag character to fit the…

I think the only thing that spared Kennedy was that she was on the winning team. That look was just straight-up nonsensical.

Dontella Versace seems like the kind of character that's relatively easy to nail visually, because her look is so distinct, but really hard to turn into a funny character. The Lady Gaga paradox. Two of them in one Snatch Game…does not sound good.

I wonder if Max isn't just legitimately shy about sex and the whole not wanting to be "vulgar" thing is just her way of deflecting it.

It really was absolutely beautiful.

"…stuck in Drag Queens in Outer Space from season 3 over and over." is the perfect way to describe this season.

There seems to be an awful lot of that entitled, "so over it" attitude this season and it's not cute. Nobody wants to see someone entitled be rewarded for it.
