I think losing Victoria was always going to be a major blow seeing as she would have been a frontrunner and a huge narrative force for the season. Their second mistake was eliminating Veronica Green when that lipsync could easily have been a double shantay, Veronica was held back by her dress but I still liked what she did and the emotion she brought. I think it would have made sense to keep her because she also had a good storyline to give and we know she’s a polished and very talented queen. The double shantay the week after was a joke in my opinion, Charity clearly beat Scarlett and Scarlett really cocked up in the girl group challenge so even though she’d done well so far she should have been eliminated. Then we had the terrible challenge last week and an underserved double sashay this week, sending home two of the biggest personalities remaining. Honestly what is going on?!

Anyone know how many episodes are left? Do you think that we’ll either get Victoria back, or an episode where a previously eliminated queen comes back (and then leaves the next week.)

That episode is now the lowest rated DRUK ep so far and the 8th lowest in DR herstory on IMDb.
Which is such a shame as Ella killed it, and the reading challenge was great. I was enjoying the episode until the ending happened.

That wasn't the outcome that had been mentioned in the spoilers

One of the problems is that there’s just too much drag race. It’s always on and multiple series are running at the same time, as well and they’re all doing challengers that been done to death before, so it all feels so…boring.

Loved that lip sync tonight: fair outcome. Not nuts about the whole Bra Wars thing but some fun performances. Loved the runway looks - when Kitty came out for the runway I just kept thinking Carrie HF! But loved it

It felt like a bit of a filler episode to me. The script was weak. The non elimination clearly engineered because of the numbers not stacking up.
The season isn't as good as the first two

Blimey there were two awful performances in that Roast.
Ella or Kitty for the win. Don't mind which.

Also Drag Race Italia started last night. Decent opening with plenty of experienced and different queens.
French version has just started casting as has season two of Espana
Much euro drag to come

Was a really great episode this week. Ella was brilliant and it's now hers to lose.
On another note - I'm seeing Rupaul's Drag Race Live in Las Vegas tonight! First time seeing anything in Vegas so I'm sure it will be fun.

Ella has done a bit of a Bimini and risen up out of nowhere, nobody was really talking about her the first few weeks and was probably one of the most obvious choices to go home quite early but then just got stronger and stronger. Of course Bimini didn't end up winning and I don't think Ella will either. I still think it will be between Kitty and Crystal.

Kitty for the win.
Ella strikes me as being an actor using drag to further their career. Didn’t he make a comment this week that he doesn’t actually interact with audiences? Does he even appear live as a drag act? Crystal shows a lot of promise but she doesn’t know anything other than looking great. Kitty is funny, can act and has turned some great looks so despite hating her gobbiness for the first few weeks she’s my choice now.

I feel like it's a strong top three and I'd be quite happy for any of them to win, I'd be happy for them all.

Crystal may well have been the winner of season 5 or 6. But she is not yet a rounded queen who can turn her hand to everything.
I also worry about the message that crowning a teenager who is already having cosmetic surgery (to boost their career) sends.

Doesn't Ella have a few west end credits to her name? In the singing challenge she was terrible and yet in the comedy challege despite claiming she doesn't do comedy, seemed to excel in it.
I want Kitty to win. The only one i would want to see live.

Wrong person won in my opinion although I’m glad that she won over the ego of the one who thought she had it in the bag. So hard to do this without giving anything away.

I thought it was a fair result from that episode, although she wouldn't have been my pick from the whole season. The other two felt to me like they'd not realised it was the final, and weren't bringing their A game. Ella in particular. |

Based on the final, the result feels fair
Based on the season, it doesn't
But it does seem to fit with Ru's preferences and it is her show
However winning doesn't mean you get the best career boost out of it.
Baga has eclipsed Viv for instance

It was Ellas to lose, and she fudged it. There didn’t seem to be any want in that final lipsync. Krystal will do very well out of this - what a great achievement at such a young age. I’m sure Ella and Kitty will also do very well from this.
