Canada’s Drag Race

I didn't like the lack of a lead judge - having the guest do some of the presenting didn't work for me. I think one lead voice with supporting judges works better for the format. If they wanted to make this shift, they should have changed the script more to avoid comparisons.

Other than Kyne, I like the queens - though I think Ilona will get very tiring very quickly.

We are somewhat overloaded with drag this year - spreading things out would have made more sense (particularly if new seasons are going to be delayed)

Jimbo reminds me too much of Grayson Perry...

I will be delighted when Ilona finally goes. I don't want attention-seeking behaviour on that level from anyone. She is immature and not talented enough to get away with it. So fake and just plain annoying.

I am sort of intrigued about what you hate so much about it. It reminds me of DRUK in the scrabbliness of it.

The Dutch version has just been confirmed as well...

That had some of the best Snatch Game moments in recent years. Lemon, Rita and Jimbo were on top form

They have both been done. But not so effectively

International All stars does sound viable

Particularly with the addition of the Dutch version of the show.

Plenty of options

Not one of the better episodes tonight. On the basis of the lip sync, the right person stayed - which came as a surprise to me. But hopefully she won't be around for much longer

The main challenge was not great. And the runway - meh

My 2nd fave contestant ever. I even shed a few tears earlier. So very very sad and to go so young with such an amazing future ahead of him.

☹️

Agreed, thought Jimbo should have won and Scarlet should have been in the bottom 2 with probably Lemon, with Lemon winning the lip sync. I like Jimbo though I find his fans' constant defensiveness of him tiring but this week his critiques were truly baffling and inconsistent and his make up and outfit were easily the best.

I think the judging is a mess for sure but the same can be said for US Drag Race almost as often. I think the issue is the inconsistent story telling. As much as I hate how over-produced US Drag Race is, at least you can understand why the judging was pushed in a certain direction to make a clear storyline for each queen. This season I'm not sure what anyone's storyline really is. Jimbo won one week and then the next was told "welcome to the competition" as if he had been coasting this entire time. Lemon had 2 wins under her belt making her the second strongest competitor at this point but was sent home against the strongest competitor - on a regular season you can almost guarantee this would have been a double save or Scarlet, who has legitimately been coasting, would have been in the bottom especially since they set up the whole "don't just wear a simple bodysuit on the runway" thing this episode. The decision making is just very strange but hopefully All Stars will allow international contestants because I think Lemon would do great on it and so would some other Canada and UK (and Thailand if they're willing to go the whole nine yards) contestants.

Agree. I think Rita is highly likely to win, but Jimbo would be my choice. I love his style of drag, his creativity and his personality but the judges don’t seem to get him.

Disappointed in Priyanka: love his personality out of drag but even this week there was no “wow” factor about his maxi challenge. Bobo is fine - just not quite there compared to others. So glad Lemon finally went. A decent level of talent but not a performer who's act I would ever want to see. And has a lot of growing up to do.

While I still like Stacey on the judging panel, I find Jeffrey to be little more than a pretty puppet, trying to out-camp the queens week on week. in his favour, he tends to come across as much more sincere and warm than RuPaul ever doesn’t - although that would not be difficult! - but that’s about it.

I think Rita represents a polished, established queen with a broad range of talents. Her lipsync performance was outstanding and some of her looks have been superb.

Jimbo - depends on how much you go for quirky. On the whole I like it - but she hasn't always nailed it.

Priyanka - not yet a fully finished queen. She is still finding out who she is. I suspect she would have matured into a non-stop force by season 3 of CDR

Scarlett - never been more than mediocre to me. The face is over-fillered. The looks are mixed.

I would rather have seen Lemon in the top 4 than Scarlett. Lemon is again probably on a season or two early - but she is more of an all-rounder than Scarlett (and altogether prettier!)

Yes, Lime was a mess. But it was more put together than a body stocking with fringed jacket.
