The fact that Sminty is gone and Jonbers and Pixie are still there 

[brooklyndaddy]

Yeah I don't get the Danny hate. Their looks have all actually been very good and tasteful (apart form the design challenge eye soar but hey, it was effective). The way some of y'all beg for drag king representation but the second there's a queen with a less feminine drag style in terms of hair and silhouettes you call them a wreck  I'm not fully sold on Danny yet either but that's just because I'm not sold on anyone quite yet. 

 

I can see this season having a UK2 type trajectory in terms of the season bubbling up as we go along. I've really enjoyed it so far though.

 

Great first episode, Starlet being an iconic mess in girl groups, super cute design challenge with Baby and Dakota redemption arc, Sminty's legendary exit 

 

I also like the fact that no queen has been shoved down our throats yet and wins have been deserved... something not always the case for Drag Race

[Alyssa Edwards]

The last lipsync song was SO terrible wtf was that

 

Danny Beard's looks are polished and she maybe has the best personality of the whole cast, i don't get what y'all don't like about her ?

 

Must be the girls that wanted Divina De Campo to win UK 1 methinks....

[Flexus]

stellar stellar rusical, was 100% thinking they might just do a top two 

 

Danny killed it, on the stage and the runway, so deserved

 

I felt Pixie faded (a lot) for me, very surprised to see her in the top (wouldn't mind if she left lol)

 

the lipsync was so so good too, I thought it might be a double save but damn what a heartbreaking episode

 

I'm glad we can see more of Dakota, and le Fil looked incredible on the runway

 

Hannah Waddingham also top tier guest judge, she was fantastic 

[NumbSoul]

Wow, that was an EXCELLENT episode

I legit thought there would be no bottom this week, cause the girls did AMAZING in the Rusical!

 

I definitely think Jonbers and Danny did the best, but Danny's runway put her over the edge. 

I don't even care for her like that, but very much a deserved win and she's really growing on me lately!

 

Pixie felt weird as the third top... I could've seen her in the bottom, cause for me she faded into the background just like Baby did.

 

The lipsync was AMAZING  Both the girls slayed it! Baby had the edge for me until Dakota did the walking out bit, which was just genius.

Could've easily been a double shantay, but I respect Baby's decision. I like her a lot, but I do think she wasn't ready for this season.

[Rotunda]

Definitely the best episode of the season so far, and I’d argue it was more deserving of an “everyone stays” week than the US14 one or the UK3 one. 

 

Personally I don’t even think Baby did poorly in the challenge, but I do think it was obvious that she wasn’t ready for the scrutiny of the competition. This is one of the few times where Ru’s “inner saboteur” bs is actually accurate. 

 

 

She was saying things weren’t going as planned for her, but she was one of the strongest queens and was well-regarded by everyone. She got the highest praise Week 2 and won a badge Week 3, but she wasn’t prepared for the negative feedback she got Week 4. 
 

Hopefully we get to see her on another season when her mind is right, because she was definitely on track make Top 5.

Personal Chart: 

[Hurem]

What a well rounded episode

 

Amazing Rusical, amazing runway and the lipsync was fire. They should've milked Baby's moment a bit more though. This felt way too fast "I need to go home. -ok, sashay away"

This. 100% this.

 

Baby is truly her worst enemy and I relate so much to that. Imagine how bad it was for her to feel that level of pressure that made her quit despite doing great so far. Anxiety is just terrible.

 

I'm pretty sure this season won't have any double shantay because it's just crazy to me that two queens had to be in the bottom for this challenge. Literally no one did bad, there were only great and amazing performances.

 

I might be alone in this but I feel like Le Fil did the best all things considered. Really solid rusical performance and excellent runway. This was her week. I wasn't particularly impressed by Danny and Pixie to be completely honest (although I have no f*cking idea how the former could pack that runway look, it was incredible).

 

Now, the last thing I expected from this cast was Dakota being a lip sync assassin. The b*tch just knows how to perform, she's so good. The lip sync was amazing and, again, worthy of a double shantay, but if forced to choose I'm pretty sure Ru would've saved Dakota.

[pxxxtrick]

“Baby… I’m pro-choice.” I snorted. 

[Hector]

Not surprised Danny won again, his Lairy Poppins was great and he by far had the greatest runway this week with the Little Shop Of Horrors theme,  one of the best ever

 

I felt so sad for Baby and I know she felt disappointed with her performance in the last 2 challenges but she did a great lipsync and it was good she chose her mental health first in choosing to leave  If Ru axed her anyway though

 

Pixie had no business in the top 3, that should have been Cheddar or Le FIL instead. 

[Roberto]

I loved this episode, genuinely thought we would have another Daytona Wind episode, with Dakota and Baby being safe and all of others queens being either high or top 2. 

 

I can't at Danny being the front-runner. He's so ******* annoying, same as Cheddar.  The fact that potential front-runners have left the competition while a lot of fillers are still there. 

[KFC]

What an amazing episode, I teared up at the end, Baby did an amazing job in the competition and made the best decision for herself, so I'm proud of that, sad she's gone though 

 

Danny STOMPED. A phenomenal performance and runway, I can't stand the ***** at all though

 

It's really sad how the judges don't care for Le Fil one bit  I kind of agree with them though, he does very well in the challenges and on the runway, but he doesn't give me superstar  a shame because he's very likeable 

 

Never heard of the guest judge before but she was lovely

[KFC]

I also find it hilarious that Pixie was complaining about being overshadowed by Danny and then handed him the winning role

Except Ru unfairly and unnecessarily destroyed Baby’s psyche last week. That’s why her inner saboteur showed up this week.

Hot take - I don’t think Ru said anything that bad.

Really? My theory is she wanted Sminty gone and knew Baby would send her home for sure. Baby’s critics were harsher than warranted 

[genetic fail]

Oh wow! That was a Top 10 episode from DRUK for me - maybe even Top 5!

Everyone did really well but I do agree with the bottom 2, they were the least memorable. I would also replace Le Fil with Pixie in the bottom 3. Pixie was very forgettable too but it was worth it seeing the light fade from her eyes after watching Danny overshine her once again

Everyone did phenomenal in the runway too except maybe Baby and Pixie

And the guest judge was so sweet! Even checking up on Baby like that. Top tier guest judge for sure!

Phenomenal lipsync too! Dakota held her own and it would've been worthy of a double shantay had Baby not quit. Bittersweet ending to an iconic episode but I'm happy knowing Baby will be in a better place mentally

[genetic fail]

And Jonbers is kinda growing on me in that Cheryl Hole kinda way of knowing she's mediocre but just having a laugh at it

She did really good this week too and I thought her runway was fierce

Yeah I don’t disagree with your theory. The dancing queens (especially the black ones) are always gonna be used to send someone home even if we can justify giving them a higher placement.

Personally I would’t have had Baby lip sync either week, and while I do think Ru had to exaggerate his thoughts to justify Baby’s placement, I just don’t think his comments were that disrespectful - especially given that Baby got the most praise in week 2 and week 3. 
 

But yeah I get that people handle criticism differently and have different views on what constitutes tough love vs. being hurtful

[brooklyndaddy]

Danny smashed this. Well deserved, as with last week. The obvious front runner for me!

 

not seeing enough JB praise in here - he really turned that performance out

[FOCK]

A fantastic episode, soured by some of the most TERRIBLE judging.

 

Baby had no business being in the bottom, at ALL. She did excellently in the Rusical & in the runway. They were actually gaslighting her. 

 

I nearly turned the show off during Michelle & Ru’s struggle session trying to negate and minimise Le Fil’s performance. “It’s fantastic, impressive, but somethings missing, but we can’t tell you what, bottom 3”… ughhh. Shove it up your ass, indeed. 

 

Pixie wasn’t too worthy, she was passable at best. 

 

Danny haters seek help. A star. And if Peppa doesn’t win, she’s taking it!

 

The guest judge was wonderful. 

[willmcclure9]

Jesus i cant stand d*nny 

[sunmimi imfurst]

Danny haters must be seething RN

 

 

Winner of one of the best (if not best) rusicals, one of the most iconic DRUK  runways ever, two wins in a row 

 

Honestly I would of been happy w a non elimination since  everyone did so well. Drag excellence I fear. 
 

The only judging I disagree with is PIXIE being in the top. I thought she was bottom two with Dakota  Her runway wasn’t bad but not up to scratch for this episode.

 

Poor Le Fil. She had a hard part (skill wise) and did amazing, and her runway was amazing. Poor baby too. She slayed so much  (but Dakota Lowkey won the LSFYL lol).
 

Cheddar would of been in top3 for me instead of Pixie. She did amazing and loved the runway.

Cheddar was bottom 2 for me. Very forgettable performance, far worse than Le Fil's

I hope Baby feels better <3
