Isn’t that exactly the reason for the “fame games” every queen gets to showcase every look (on untucked) but at least they are addressing the issue. It is also not “necessary” to spend tens of thousands of dollars in order to do well. A great runway MAY save you from the bottom once or twice or it can be a deciding factor in a close win but plenty of queens have made the finale with less than stellar runways…Jinkx, Adore, Ginger, Bob, Spanky, Rajah, Jujubee (x3), Silky, Kandy and more I am sure.

It's a nice addition to the season, but I have a hard time believing it will be anything more than a "twist" for this 1 season.

 

I like what they did for Season 14. Money prize for the runner up, and didn't they give each queen $2k? Sorry if I am remembering that incorrectly. But that felt like a nice pay off for everybody.

 

The show rewarding them like that simply for competing feels correct. These queens really go through it and are on their own after the show for the most part.

 

They've made some strides the last few seasons giving back but it needs to be something that is consistent. Not, this season everyone get a lump sum, then this season you have to compete for a fan favorite cash prize. There needs to be a standard.

Hm ok 

 

1. Jimbo's snatch game was probably one of the best ever , easily top10 ( every answer was hilarious,  i died when she called Alexis a ***** and the dance was the funniest thing i ever saw on TV)

 

2. The drama was LIT , i live !!!! But it ended too soon 

 

3. Lala brought absolutely nothing in all these episodes 

 

4. Kandy is same or even worse than her season 

 

5. Heidi thought she would be a front runner and she realized thats not happening . Even during snatch i could tell she was frustrated and most of the times off character.  She tries to be the victim but 

 

6. Alexis  ( but thank you for the drama ) 

 

7. I kind of live seeing Jimbo lipsyncing = tripping on the stage , not knowing the words , going up and down with no purpose 🤣 if she could just turn all this messyness into comedy she could give much better lipsyncs 

 

8. I love James and i laughted a lot but she practically was playing herself in the snatch

I've been over this show for so long but I'm glad Jimbo is dominating  she's a STAR 

[Venice B]

Not sad about Heidi leaving tbh she came on this season acting like big fish but she didn't have the talent to back it up, and her taste level is still questionable. She's kinda endearing and has charisma but at the end of the day she tried to talk the talk but couldn't walk the walk. 

 

This season is awful and the only ones who deserve a crown are Jessica and Jimbo (even though she has never been my favorite, but the ***** has nerve for days, she's very charismatic and unique).

Kornbread was funny on pitstop but somehow her face was frozen the whole time wtf

[SixWholeYears]

Kornbread has a horrible idgaf attitude... how is she booking these gigs.. yikes

[CBC]

Kandy deactivating to play the victim she's so transparent 

[SitarHero]

I'm a little baffled that anyone online is praising Alexis' Bea Arthur...Maybe it was a distant 3rd because everyone else is bad, but she got so much wrong! The voice, not even close. The sexual punchlines don't fit when a lot of the humor surrounding Bea's character is that she doesn't get dates. Where was the sourpuss expression? At least it was better than Raven's, I guess? Seems like Ru was fakely cracking up to continue the "older character = SG success" narrative.

[Afferty]

the way the show paid no attentiob to Heidi leaving lol  when Adore decided to leave, they made Michelle talk to her, but they were like “okay ***** bye” to Heidi

For the current Drag race format, with Ru as host NO ONE could beat Jimbo unless she manages to get put in the bottom and sent home, and frankly after UKvTW I don’t think Ru would put her in the bottom even if she bombed.

rupaul does not care in the slightest who wins drag race from a personal taste level. she wants what's best for the franchise and her bottom line. and i very much doubt she even makes any of these decisions, as production is eyeing for story arcs in real time and i'm sure is entrusted to choose winners and losers.

Jaymes was second place. She completely saved that group from a 100% failure rate. I laughed a lot with her.

i feel like she went in and out. jayme's jennifer coolidge was lowkey worse, she could obviously retort and keep up which made her better than most but she didn't capture jennifer's personality at all.

Yeah idk I would go as far as to say Jimbo is probably a top 5 winner of all time, assuming she wins. She’s truly unique and her humor is so stupid but it’s intentional and works well. I tend to hate the quirky queens, but Jimbo pulls it off so well, I just can’t help but stan. 
 

Honestly, she’s 100% what people try to make Jinkx out to be. When the hot guest judge said Jimbo was the best physical comedian in Drag Race history, he didn’t lie one bit. That dancing portion of her Snatch Game left me rolling on the floor, I haven’t laughed at this show like that in so long.

Jennifer Coolidge is just such a safe pick. Every drag queen can do an impression of her. Even though this was the first time someone did her on snatch game (I think), it already felt tired and overdone.

Not Alexis being scared of Kandy... girl.

"I was raised right" 

I know it's two completely different instances but still 

[Hephaestus]

Whew girls, I've been so busy in the last couple of weeks and just caught up with 20+ pages of this thread and... Honestly I agree with the general sentiments in here.

 

First of all Jimbo is dominating the competition and it's not even close. It's kinda sad actually because I don't think she's giving more than 40% and still slaying it. I also really appreciate that she's really trying to win a lip sync despite clearly being her only weakness, you can tell she wants to win and make Ru proud.

 

Heidi was giving sore loser behaviour this season but I 100% believe her, the fact that Kandy didn't even try to defend herself but straight up deflected and made it a "aren't we supposed to be sisters" thing tells me everything I need to know. Additionally, I've lost so much respect for Alexis after she backtracked the moment the situation was heating up, I love me a producer but that was f*cked up. The gag is this whole thing solidified Jimbo going into the finale because no one will dare pull a shocking elimination now that the shady tactics have come to the light, so thanks Heidi for speaking the truth!

 

Loved seeing mother Jasmine come back and eat a lip sync, especially to a Dua song.

 

Oh and Thee MIB was a hoot during last week's The Pit Stop, just crown her already! 

[Hephaestus]

Forgot to mention that Jaymes kinda slayed the Snatch Game and could've had a serious chance of winning with a better runway. LaLa on the other hand has been coasting for weeks and her looks are atrocious, lowkey should've left on episode 1.

 

And those Fame Games looks... My god, some girls really talk a big game when they actually couldn't serve a look to save their lives. Naysha Lopez wear a good wig challenge, do that challenge!

Things change A LOT after filming and working, the girls know the industry better. Heidi knew they were gonna make a moment on stage and try to embarass her.
