8 episodes in and we’ve only had 4 queens leave so far. And now it looks like they’re taking a week off and there’s no new episode this week. This season is gonna go on forever!

God I thought we were finally going to see the back of her... And then Ru dashed my hopes. (She's right about needing subtitles though...)

I don’t think she’ll be around too much longer. It was interesting to see how sad all of the contestants seemed to be when they thought she was going. Yes she’s been shown to be difficult on occasion but I think she understands what’s needed in order to make the best of the opportunity, which is to be somewhat controversial. I’m sure she’ll do really well afterwards. I have a soft spot of Utica who is obviously just a very nice person.

Was that the worst Snatch Game on Drag Race US?
Only 3 decent with 6 awful?
Gottmik the best.

9 queens is too many for Snatch Game.
It was a strange episode yet again.
I don't think there is much star quality in the competition. Maybe one or two I would actually want to see live.

Completely agree, none of them have that, for want of a better word, X factor. I like Utica and will watch to see what she does after but that Bob Ross was awful but I will forgive that. Symone is good, love the looks I think she did ok in Snatch Game but I actually can’t remember her and I only watched it 12 hours ago. Gottmik was great in Snatch Game. I felt sorry for Elliott, he is a bit of an outsider and he suffers with depression, but Rue was terrible, he only had one catchphrase.

I don't get the Symone love. She does not consistently offer looks that shout drag to me. A number of her runways have been essentially male attire with a wig. I know modern drag isn't about creating the fantasy of a man transforming himself into a woman. But that element is what I am looking for in a drag queen.
I think we are seeing the separation of drag into three strands: drag queens who are men who transform into women, drag kings where women transform into men and then drag performers who play with a range of identities and don't conform to the more 'traditional' forms of drag.
I don't place them into any form of hierarchy. But I do think that the differences should be acknowledged and celebrated.
My taste will always tend towards the more traditional drag queen (even when they play with those traditions in a more modern way)
I want to be entertained by more than just a look.
There is a place for all sorts of drag and long may that continue to be celebrated. But Symone - for my tastes - is more drag than drag queen. I had high hopes for Tina Burner at the start of this season but she has just not delivered.
I am really looking forward to AS6 where one of my long time favourites is back - Ginger Minj. She is an all round entertainer with good makeup and fashion skills. A great drag queen who needs to win a series!

I hate to see Kandy being kept week after week over more talented queens because the producers like the “drama” she brings. Really wish they didn’t judge in pairs because I don’t think Denali even deserved the bottom.

Denali mightn’t of deserved the bottom this week (is it just me or did she have the Lux look down) but Denali’s time was well up. To me she’s a schtick queen and kept falling back on her skating like Hytes and the ballet. Love UTICA and she looked amazing today. Symone can bring it but I don’t know if I’m buying. Agree Kandy got to go and the Burner. I like Gottmik but I don’t see DraaaaGGGG same with the Lux. Rose more like Chardony, meh. Symone, Utica and Gottmik top three but a poor season overall.

I think this is turning out to be a very good season. I kind of fell for Rose with her The Mask look (I know lots of people hated it but that grin!) and Utica is absolutely adorable. Symone is beautiful high fashion and Gottmik’s looks are amazing. Tina and Kandy.... hmmm.
I can’t decide who I want to win!

Yeah I have my reservations about this season being too long, a lot of the judging being questionable and production sticking their grubby hands in unnecessarily (though the latter two critiques could be said about every season) but honestly I think it's a pretty good season. Nowhere near as bad as season 11, probably sits somewhere firmly in the middle ranks with seasons 9 and 10 for me. Season 12 was just so strong though and UK 2 is also really great that this season was bound to pale in comparison airing right after/at the same time as them.

Where are the jokes?
As the Season that will go down as probably the worst Snatch Game ever I think that history won’t be kind. I’m sure the Fame, the Chatcki and the Minj are feeling very smug now.

I think Gottmik and Kandy should have been in the bottom two. And poor Denali was hobbled by having to lipsync in that tight fitting skirt. She spent half of the lipsync having to hitch it up.
And I know it's reality TV and they move the goalposts for how the queens are supposed to behave from one week to the next, but it's infuriating to see the judges applauding Kandy for aggressively biting back and not just meekly accepting the criticism of her. You have literally just asked them to say who should be eliminated and why! I *really* hope she goes soon. She's by far the weakest of the remaining contestants.
