Some of them seem very very young. Can you really build a fully rounded drag persona by the age of 21 or are these just instagram queens with great make up skills and little else? Time will tell. I’d really like to see some seasoned queens though. Bring back Pork Chop I say!
I enjoyed the mini challenge Ball sequence with all of those familiar faces.

Perhaps they will do the challenge from the second episode of season two next week? Joking aside, I would like to see them bring some classic challenges back. Which ones do ya think? I really miss the photo shoots with Mike Ruiz. I don’t think they make enough of that whole ANTM thing these days, given how much RDR is influenced by it. I want more more photo shoots, more workroom sewing challenges, more run run runway and less of the acting challenges which are always cringe.

Was surprised to see Ru so heavily padded for runway, she’s resisted that fad up until now. I thought it looked a bit odd.

The Vixen is already getting the villain edit - possibly justifiably. Can't warm to her at all. Outfit was poor. Attitude is bad. Big chip there.

In all fairness, Aquaria has been doing drag professionally since she was 16 so has actually being drag longer than some of the 30 year olds, because of how popular she is on Instagram a lot of clubs turned a blind eye to her being underage and booked her anyway. Whereas Shangela didn't start drag until she was about 30! I've been following Mayhem for about 4 years since I started watching the show, she is as seasoned as it gets. She started drag at the same time as about 5 other Ru girls, its about time she got on the show. I hope she goes far. Porkchop for AS4 ?!

Mayhem does look like an upbeat version of Kennedy!
Yuhua must be a strange lovechild of Bianca and Manila - just look at the bone structure and the make-up!!
I love the Broadway style - so Blair is up there for me but I doubt she will get much beyond halfway sadly.
Aquaria - confidence can be attractive. But not that sort of confidence. And her runway make-up was awful!

I want more more photo shoots, more workroom sewing challenges, more run run runway and less of the acting challenges which are always cringe. Good question. I agree with the ANTM thing (btw, is anyone watching the latest cycle? Tyra is back and she cast two of the craziest people ever seen on the show. Reality TV gold) and Mike Ruiz. The more I think about it, the more I realise I like challenges where you really see someone’s creativity and range. So the stand up challenges were mostly watching through fingers stuff, but that was the first time I really saw what Shangela could do. The acting challenge in the last AS3 showed us a new Trixie. The dance one where we saw what Alyssa could do... I know it’s not Rupaul’s Project Runway Best Friend Race, but I would love to see more challenges where they make things. Perhaps all of them given the same stuff, see where they take it? I’ve always loved themed making challenges. A specific makeup challenge would be good (and would root out people like Kennedy.) I’m almost imagining a new thing where a queen can play her joker, so for example if you couldn’t dance (Kim Chi) you could do a dance challenge and not be at risk of being dinged. Also, I would get rid of snatch game. There. Said it.

I managed to put my back out (thank you, The Inheritance Part 2) so I have had more TV time. Just watched Untucked for the first time in seasons and caught up on the season ten meet the queens. Mayhem and Monet X Change, up-close have the most amazing make up skills. Just beautiful. Also, the contrast to Aquaria and Miz Cracker is extreme. Can’t quite believe they both went for the melted Pierrot look. Girls, you can do soooo much better. I’m also calling time on those short wigs that Karbdashian and Blair were wearing. You look like Kris Jenner and it’s not charming. I’m sure they thought they looked like Raven. Did anyone else think that the intro video set up was suspiciously like the “fierce video” they did in one of the early episodes of ANTM this season? Same set, surely?

Right now there are alot of queens and i'm not sure who is who, but Aquaria stood out, but not in a good way. She's got alot of attitude for someone so young. Lets see if she can back it up with talent. Blair looks like she'll get eaten alive by the competition.
They're definitely a fierce, talented bunch and it already puts All Stars 3 to shame.
The girl who was saved from elimination this week will probably go next week. She just doesnt compare to the others so far.

Top 4 will be:
Miz Cracker Yuhua Monet Mayhem
Love Aquaria but she will most likely falter when it comes to the acting/comedy challenges

This week's episode was rather dull, I'm afraid. Felt like one we have seen over and over again.
Nothing new came to light - certain personalities were reinforced. The Vixen really is an unpleasant sort.
Must try harder - B-

That musical number was waaaaay too long and that challenge has been done so many times with different variations that it’s getting a bit boring.

It did go on way too long, but what's worse, is that it wasn't even funny and there wasn't a huge amount they could do with the material.
From the editng this week you could tell who was going to be in the bottom 2 so no surprises there, and a predictable exit for Karbdashian. I hope Eureka does better going forward.

I am sure this week was part of Eureka's 'journey'...
But that still didn't stop it from being a dull week!

Best part of this week was Alyssa Didn’t she look beautiful? It was mostly quite dull though. I checked how long was left at 45 mins, which I don’t think I have done before. I’m going to check if the episodes have got longer. This one really did not need to be. I thought Busty Day Rottens looked great without the dots and the over-contoured nose. Who was that queen who used to look like a sword fish, she contoured her nose so much? Am mostly struggling to care. Fifteen minutes after the show and I cannot really remember who was on which team and if the Vixen actually deserved to win.

A better episode with some great frocks.
Untucked made me so angry though. Really angry.

I was crying when Rusty May Cottons was taking about his conversion therapy. So sad that he had to go through that.
Asia stepped up her game this week. I loved that Tweetie Pie dress. I have to confessed that Aquaria (or was it Miz Cracker?) looked great as the shot bird (was anyone else reminded of Raja’s Carrie look?)
The runway was absolutely the sort of thing I was saying I wanted to see more of. I love seeing everyone interpret a theme, always feels like a level playing field.
I would like it if someone from Chicago wasn’t a totally cut throat Queen one season though. Apart from the Princess.

^ Shea Coulée was from Chicago and didn’t seem to be negatively portrayed.
This week it seemed like Ru was pretty flat... it sounded like his voice had been re-recorded and layered over the episode.

Monique Hart is my new favourite. It’s the facial expressions.

The Vixen very much reinforced my impressions of her.
I found her playing of the victim card in that way during Untucked to be cynical in the extreme. Nothing to do with her racial heritage and everything to do with her personality.

Sounds like RuPaul had a cold or something, she really wasn't her usual self.
Where y'all watching Untucked from?
