Lucian's breakdown has been hard to watch.

Ok, I have no clue who Meghan Trainor is (well, I take it she sings), but why was she wearing her jammies?

This also got a laugh out of me:

Peppermint looked a lot better than last week, but I don't want to see that fucking pink slip again.

Goddamn it, why is everything better in Canada?

I agree, it felt like Drag Race tonight. I still could use 90 minute episodes, but I didn't feel shorted (we got another abbreviated runway, but it made more sense this week.)

That and her participation in the epic Mimi lip sync.

I'll accept that. Bonus worsting: what a waste of the rights to "Love Shack."

I'm also a cisgendered woman. I refer to the queens as her, except for the ones with very boyish names like Bob and Chad (not a choice so much as reflex.) Ru has said in the past that either male or female pronouns are equally fine for him (or, her.)

Or entire outfits! Or add a second wig!

Oh, I know plenty of people who still like it enough to tune in. I tried again and got partway through the season that Russian guy won (Dimitri?) and gave up. The challenges are unreasonably short, the looks are boring. And now I hear Kors is gone and his "She looks like a dyslexic teenage hooker who slept in a…

Charlie tried to save the end, but she was terrible in that challenge. And that lip sync was ridiculous. Maybe worse than Penny Tration. At best, you could say there were a number of worthy nominees for the bottom. What the fuck was Peppermint wearing?

PR looks like PR, but Lifetime shit dead ovaries all over it and killed it long ago. Sorry, I'm ranting off script but I fucking hate what it turned into when it left Bravo ( except for S7, which was inexplicably good. And Mondo, of course.)

About halfway through, I realized there were no Wendy interstitials. Then the trailer for next week hilariously showed scenes for THIS week and said more hilariously that Wendy would be hosting.

And! It's fucking season 9. How do you go into the show saying you're not going to lip sync? And I don't get how singing on stage is somehow incompatible with lip syncing. Especially since a lot of pop stars do it.

Goddamn it, you’re an inspiration.

She needs to visit Schoolhouse Rock and unpack her adjectives. It's catchy, Kimora! You'll like it! There are verbs and conjunctions and all kinds of shit.

That lipsync was tragic. Even at the times she seemed like she maybe knew the words, it's like she couldn't be assed to move her mouth enough. She might as well have gone full Penny Tration and showed the judges her back (with her unpadded ass. So much sadness!)

I get the Derrick Barry comparison, but Farrah's highlighting is some Caravaggio level painting. Plus, she's adorable. I'm rooting for her. I can't help myself. Derrick meh'd his way to mid-season.

I thank Willam's Beatdown for introducing that clip to me.
