RuPaul’s Drag Race USA all seasons.

I know we only have a limited understanding of US pop culture - but I would love a Snatch Game that didn't have quite so many 'characters' drawn from US reality shows. It makes is far tougher on the international audience when you have to google half the people being depicted and come away none the wiser for your efforts.

You have be brilliant to pull it off (Jinx, Bendela) - and those brilliant players are few and far between

I quite enjoyed tonight's episode - but most of them really can't read.

Main challenge - I don't think the bottom three were quite right. Certainly 2 of them certainly deserved to be there - but I would have swapped Yvie for Shuga as Yvie was utterly lost in her scene.

Runway looks - Nina was my favourite - very Bowery. Shuga and Brooke were interesting. Didn't like Akeria - but clearly the judges did

I would have made both of the lip sync performers sashay - they don't have anything to offer. Indeed, I nodded off during the lip sync - and missed the brief trail for next week!

So wrong winner - I would have given it to Brooke overall.

I feel like they are trying to keep it open to maintain interest. That’s the only I can see for Brook Lynn not winning this week and the edge that would give her overall. This is a boring season.

I thought most of the episode was unwatchable. Reading is not fundamental for these queens and 75% of the maxi-challenge was unwatchable. Luckily it was saved by some interesting runway looks (although was I alone in never having heard of a facekini before?) Shuga seems to have saved her best drag until now, I’m glad she wasn’t booted, although I figure she’ll go soon. Nina West’s proportions were beautiful this week and she didn’t deserve safe. I would have liked to see a critique and some positive feedback for her.

Silky perplexes me. She’s a legend in her own lunchbox. I’m over it. And the emnity with Yvie is just boring now. Do we think their lipsynch will be next week, or the week after?

Highlight of the episode for me! 

At the moment, the Top 3 for me are Brooke Lynn, Akeria and either Yvie/Nina. Silky plays the exact same character every single week and I don't understand why Ru loves it so much. She is talented which I wont deny, but there's so little versatility and her personality is grating.

I'm not sure they should be having a go at Vanjie for being on one level and the same character all the time though when that is exactly what Silky does and they lap it up.

This episode has revitalised me for this season. I’d pay to watch Nina, Shuga and Brooklyn’s magic show. I thought it was the most polished challenge result I can remember seeing.

I got a lot from Vanjie’s lipsynch, it felt very real and modern, I was surprised she could turn that depth of emotion out. Shuga looked very
old school by comparison. I’m not sure I thought it was exactly fair she was in the bottom two, given how much better that group was. Two from Black Magic should have lipsynched. Silkie seems to have some plot amour that’s stopping her from being in the bottom two and it makes no sense to me because she keeps going on (and on and on and on) about how she’ll lipsynch every week if she has to.

I would hope Shuga or Nina will be in the running for Miss Congeniality

I don't think we can judge the lipsync fairly on what we were shown. The edit massively favoured Vanjie - so it was hard to see what Shuga was doing.

Yes, Shuga is more old-school. But Vanjie has shown zero progression. She is just a backwards-walker - there is nothing else there.

Next week comes down to who they get paired with

The only one I expect to shine is Brooke - simply because she is the one who has shown she can make great outfits of those left in.

Yes a dull lip sync, a shame for Shuga but I didn’t really mind which of the two went: Vanjie is all one note...ok, that note is fingernails down a chalk board, but I also like him a lot.

I was SO chuffed for Nina: he’s always been good but have been wanting him to fully shine. And he did this time andas stole the show. Could have watched him for ages! And - a big tick in my book - he comes across as a lovely person.

To give Vanjie a kick up the arse?

Surely this is Nina’s for the taking now? Whilst I love Silky, she’s never gonna win with the outfits and zero planning to perfect any routines.
