If it's her —and I know it is, I'm just in stubborn denial— then I hope they I hope they do a double elimination next week and send her packing. Cynthia might attribute her eliminaton to her illness for the sake of her own personal ego narrative, but its timing was organic and justified.

I hope she didn't pay full price.

I've been scouring promo material leading up to the premiere, including club appearance videos from all the girls. Only three queens gave performances that compelled me to watch their YouTube clip through til the end, and they all made the Top 3! Nina, Sasha, and Eureka are the horses I'm betting on. They all managed…

The wiglines and the acne scars are just… rough.

Cynthia? Really? Groan. I have empathy for her health issues, but those atrocious shorts she wore in the roller disco challenge were more than enough reason for her to sashay. I said it then, and I'll say it now— I wouldn't be caught dead in public making a 2AM bodega run in those shorts, let alone appear on national…

Did you watch Untucked? Gaga walked backstage with a muthaeffin' file folder and gave each queen an incisive and encouraging individual critique. I was gagged and found myself wishing they'd make her the Tim Gunn of the show with Ru as the Heidi.

There are a few reasons Sansa would have kept mum.

That's an absurdly antisocial outlook. Much of the joy in watching Game of Thrones is in sharing excitement and theories with the people around you. It harkens back to a not too distant time, before DVRs and streaming, when appointment television was the norm. Game of Thrones, more than any other prestige show, has…

Girl, what kind of budget you think they're working with? All of that's on their YouTube channel.

I agree wholeheartedly with every word you've said, but it also makes absolute sense that RuPaul wouldn't choose someone who's closeted to represent her brand.

And let us not forget the misguided removal of heels.

No, they wouldn't. They might have a choice for Snatch Game, but they're not guaranteed to have outfits for other challenges or specific runway themes like Death Becomes Her, Presidential Realness, or Animal Kingdom couture. And production wouldn't release that information to anyone who wasn't going to be on the show.

The other thing is, there's no way to guarantee a LSFYL lackkuster enough to justify eliminating both queens. It would all have to be completely and downright sociopathically rigged, long before filming. Much of the reason this show is a head above other reality fare is its winking self-awareness, but that level of…

It would be logistically difficult to bring in an alternate, unless that were the plan from the very beginning and the alternate herself was in on it. Consider that the queens spend weeks, if not months, preparing for the show and creating specific looks for specific challenges. Ru can't realistically call a runner-up…

Cynthia did edge out Derrick in the challenge, but her shorts on the runway were so goddamn atrocious that they alone merit her appearance in the bottom 2. I wouldn't wear those outside my house, not even to the corner bodega.

But the heavily accented Latin queens never have the self-awareness and foresight to make their lives easier and choose a heavily accented Latina for Snatch Game.

Probably for whatever same reason the Bartlet administration was always dealing with Qumar.

Naw, before cell phones did the work for us, we memorized all commonly used phone numbers. I still remember my high school bff's landline.

If they do Patty Hearst, they can bring back Nathan Lane as Bailey! Manson family would be amazing too.

Have you never in your life transported a suit or traveled for a wedding?
