I think it has to do with what constitutes a "drag superstar". Ru's success is definitely because she's a talented drag queen, but also because she's incredibly likable. It's a necessary component to breaking out of the club scene, and Ru has been pretty explicit about using this competition to stretch the bounds of…

What really annoys me is them trying to pretend they're not playing favorites, and it's all about the performances. You're keeping your friend (and, not incidentally, someone who is in no way in contention for the crown). Just own it, I'd have more respect for you.

I don't really see her as a villain, but I also don't see any growth from her season (other than potentially being less bitchy). All the looks, all the wig stuff, even bringing back Tasha Salad! Yawn.

I know! She is! Intellectually I get it but I need to get my emotional brain in gear. That said, I do think Katya won the night, I LOVED her runway look. And she's got the kind of crippling insecurity issues I respond to, apparently.

I try and I try, but I just can't totally get behind Alaska. I see that she's clearly talented, and smart, and funny but I've just never been able to fall in love with her the way I did Sharon or Kim Chi. I think it's probably her lack of that "underdog" quality, but I really wish I could snap myself out of it because…

I find myself much more sympathetic to Phi Phi this season. She's obviously immature, and manipulative, but you can just feel her trying SO HARD to be the person the fans want her to be. She's also obviously a very talented drag queen, and I like that she has rebranded as a cosplayer.

Yeah I love Alyssa, but I was rooting for Tatianna to win the lipsync because she has so much more to gain. We all already know and love Alyssa, but we're just being reintroduced to Tatianna. She's easy to dismiss as just a fishy queen but she's talented and surprisingly smart. So glad they both can stay (thanks…

That theory makes a lot of sense- she mispronounced it backstage, and then a producer told her to do it again when the cameras were rolling. They would definitely be primed to pounce on any word flub she made.

Did anyone else wonder if Roxxxy's "sash" mixup was faked? Maybe she was like "I know people found 'sequence' to be funny and it was one of the only moments of charm I displayed on my season, so I should repeat that exactly with a different word."

How did Colman and Rachel find the car so fast? Either they had planted some kind of GPS tracker or they were really confident about the LAPD's response time for a stolen vehicle.

Yeah I took it more as him realizing his presence wasn't helping rather than him cutting and running.

I loved the part when the dead fiance's ashes flew all over Darius- that whole date was amazing (that dress!). Nice levity before the episode took a turn.

Is it just me, or is Laurel kind of a dumbass? I noticed it last week, when she was breathlessly relaying messages back and forth between politicians without any perspective or agency of her own, and this week she falls for the most obvious trick in the book with the fake lead Gareth gives her. I saw that coming from…

Haha it's not Scott Speedman, it's another interchangeable white guy- I love that you made that mistake.

It also seemed like he was freaking out at her on his way out?

Rachel also said something about the girl's twitter account only being popular for a little while…so maybe they found her by searching semi-well known black activist chicks on social media.

This season has soooo many balls in the air.

Well that was fast!

That scene from the trailer could have been another dream sequence, I suppose, like when the devil showed them married last season. But it makes sense they'll get back together eventually.

I agree that Ethan was too passive in this episode, but it's hard to argue with Hecate's argument that his lycanthropy, supposedly a gift from god, isn't doing him too many favors. That said, he's been a blank slate pretty much this whole season. Why the hell (no pun intended) did he allow Hecate to tag along in the…
