Very this. I had hopes for this season when I watched the meet the queens special but… wtf is up with these two getting pushed. Venus I kind of get because she’s done okay in each week. Denim… I wonder if…

 

*potential spoiler for upcoming other franchise so don’t read unless you want to know*

Allegedly Pythia is on Global All Stars. I’m wondering if they’re keeping Denim around because she’s Pythia’s drag daughter as extra promo. The cast for GAS hasn’t been officially revealed so maybe the rumors are off but…

 

Spoiler

I highly doubt this - GAS only started casting a few months before it filmed seemingly and this season filmed prior to that

 

[Rotunda]

This just doesn’t seem like a super skilled cast. There are some girls who are obviously on the stronger side, but you can kinda see the fear in half the cast’s faces whenever a challenge is announced.

That may be, but I’m sure that by the time it was in post them may give denim more confessionals or use her footage in performances a bit more

Agreed. They went for diverse, not talented. I know that this season really wants to try to set itself apart from others but if they’re gonna do a twist like the golden beaver then they need to have a cast that can carry that kind of twist. 

[ALittleGauche]

Traci Melchor is just irritating to no end. Everything she says is disingenuous, robotic, and overly rehearsed. 

[feelslikeadream]

Can someone make a GIF of Melinda raising up her face shield on the runway, and then once you see her mug, you edit in clips of people being horrified: like one person screaming, another running away, another throwing up, etc.?

[genetic fail]

The Golden Beaver twist should've been saved for a Canadian All Stars/VS The World 

[Rigalo]

The draggings after Girlfriend went home clsfsks. Yea, we are OVER this season.

Thanks, it’s on wow now  

[Puttanesca]

That was the messiest untucked I've seen in a while and it looks like Melinda keeps bringing the mess next week too omg. 

[IlianVargas]

Can't wait to see next week's lip-sync  

 

Mmm wait, it's not the lip-sync, Brooke says to cut the music at the very end of the episode actually!

My guess is that Melinda is still being a baby by the end of next week's episode and producers kick her out. 

[madonnas]

Another week another ugly aurora look that she somehow doesn’t get called out for.  She deserved the bottom instead of Melinda.  
 

 

great untucked, great lipsync (Aimee lost hard but idc I prefer her over neera). 
 

great episode.

I hope not.  She’s the star of the season.

This. Nearah has a nasty attitude.

[loveisdead9582]

Kind of surprised that they did a double shantay but whatever. Nearah ate that lip sync. Kiki’s dress was absolutely divine. She’s been serving looks all season so I’m glad to see her pull through on a design challenge. 
 

Melinda needs to be gone. I get why she was saved this week. If two of the bottom agree to lip sync then yall have sealed your fates. That said, her attitude is so bad and you cannot be that bad at painting a mug and that bad at this competition AND have that bad of an attitude. It seems like she’s just gonna keep going next week and I’m not here for it. 
 

I agree with the top 3. Surprisingly I didn’t hate Denim this week. I with the knit underneath was a bit longer or the knit on top was shorter but I loved the sleeves and the overall concept. 

[Rotunda]

I’m so over Venus getting away with the bare minimum

If the bottom three were so much worse, and Aurora wasn’t right there as well…

[unino]

ok i stan Nearah so hard right now. the 'can you even do the split' kill me 

and start the fight while you clearly would have been saved by Kiki and now Melianda is safe instead of her  

but that's cunty move from her i love it and she definitely cleared Aimee with that lipsync showdown.

I feel like every challenge this season has needed more than a Bottom 3

[Scandalous]

what a sh*tshow  

 

Kiki winning was correct but i thought Luna should’ve been in the top over denim….Melinda is such an entertaining flop queen but i was GAGGED that she was actually saved  and Nearah very obviously cleared Aimee in that lipsync (aimee didn’t even know half the words) yet a double shontay was wasted on her?  

[Hector]

Well deserved win for Kiki, that dress is stunning

 

However,  dumb decision of her to save Melinda especially after that meltdown and the fact she told Kiki to not save her.  Should have been Aimee Vs. Melinda to send the latter home. 

 

The lipsync was great even though Nearah obviously did better in the performance skills.

[Rotunda]

Not enough of y’all are dragging Venus’s look for me. 

[Scandalous]

it would be gag of the century if the girls agreed to just save Melinda every week and take her to the finals
