sunmimi imfurst Posted August 11, 2023 Posted August 11, 2023 I was expecting an improv challenge but we got a crunchy acting challenge and everyone went telenovela instead of housewife? flour was amazing though and loved her runway too. Lowkey robbed but not mad at the outcome. Gabriella’s runway sent me. The padding
KFC Posted August 11, 2023 Posted August 11, 2023 I'm sorry to say it, I really like Gabriella but I don't understand her take on drag AT ALL I'm sad Ivory went home because she bought so much entertaining mess
mokitsu Posted August 11, 2023 Posted August 11, 2023 Flor was kinda robbed but whatever Ivory literally stomping on Rita in the lipsync Rita in full glam in the work room with all the girls in boy outfits 1
genetic fail Posted August 11, 2023 Posted August 11, 2023 That was one of the worst challenges ever. Gabriella would be low to safe on any other season Yall saying Flor was robbed when she was not giving pop star AT ALL. Thought she deserved low. Ivory should've stayed but at least she was iconic in all her three episodes. Poor Mr. Wiglit can't relate. Rita is 100% going home next week though, right?! She's lucky these NZ girls are weak lipsyncers. 13 minutes ago, mokitsu said: Rita in full glam in the work room with all the girls in boy outfits The way this was the best part of the episode
ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted August 11, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted August 11, 2023 I think flor should have won lol but idc all too much cause I like Gabriella too so @Unoriginal: Gabriella isnt payola queen of the season, BUMPA is! 1

Hector Posted August 11, 2023 Posted August 11, 2023 Flor was robbed, Gabriella's runway was awful Not surprised to see Ivory & Ivanna go but it was sweet to see her call Anita right afterwards.
NumbSoul Posted August 11, 2023 Posted August 11, 2023 Yeah, I'm sorry, but that challenge was TERRIBLE These acting/improv challenges often get cringey, but this one was particularly awful and hard to get through. I did actually think the runway was decent and I did enjoy both lipsyncs though. The first one was more even. I kinda stanned Ivory, so I was bummed to see her go, but Rita did do well. Ivanna was another queen I liked, but Rita kinda ate her up. She just emotes much better. I actually think she's a pretty good lipsyncer. No one really felt like a deserving winner after that trainwreck, but I do think the Top3 was correct and I'm not mad at the winner. Flor was insufferable, but at the same time gave the most memorable and "balls-to-the-wall" performance, so I guess that counts for something. Gabriella was probably the most solid performance in the challenge, which is why she won. Wouldn't have been anything to write home about normally, but I do think compared to the others she kinda did the best. I also think Bumpa did deserve to be up there. She felt natural and did a solid job. Again, nothing special, but out of the bunch, it was at least servicable. 1
Little Dark Age Posted August 11, 2023 Posted August 11, 2023 am I crazy or did Ivory win the lip sync pretty easily
Rigalo Posted August 11, 2023 Posted August 11, 2023 Flor did the best and was the funniest imo but I like Gabriella so I’m fine with her win. Not that she did particularly well during either but Rita definitely won her lipsyncs. they are sweet but Rita and Bumpa need to go 1
GotMyBlueprint Posted August 11, 2023 Posted August 11, 2023 FILLER Menu got them mad it seems She definitely beat Ivory's overconfident and mediocre ass (Bore St. Snore teas, but Ivory isn't insufferable) and DESTROYED Anita's husband in those lipsyncs. 1

genetic fail Posted August 12, 2023 Posted August 12, 2023 I'm finally able to tell Isis, Ashley and Gabriella apart. These damn white twinks
brooklyndaddy Posted August 12, 2023 Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) Terrible episode. Flor was horrible, should have lipsynced. Half this cast can go home immediately. The only girls with a pulse seem to be Hollywould (beautiful and fine, run of the mill though), Gabriella (quirky and likable but… what else?), Isis (a VISION but personality nowhere to be found), and Flor (charisma but hasn’t really popped yet). Is the drag scene in Australia and NZ just really small and causal? I know it’s allegedly more “camp” than America but 95% of these queens aren’t remotely funny or entertaining Ru seems so BORED every Down Under season and I don’t blame him Edited August 12, 2023 by brooklyndaddy 1

Australian drag is really not made for family friendly tv so I get it. But the show doesn't reflect what we see in the clubs at all 2
unino Posted August 12, 2023 Posted August 12, 2023 this season is such a snooze. lil mad that the S2 queens turned it out for this season to be like this? 1
unino Posted August 12, 2023 Posted August 12, 2023 Hollywood is like the only winner worthy here and by far as well. and not yall finding flor being robbed when she's out of place and doing whatever crazy **** she could come up with.

Also, as someone mentioned, I don’t think many of the more seasoned queens are keen on taking the risk of potential reputational damage for no pay off & for what is clearly, a lack of investment or budget, particularly after Coco & Minnie. We have fewer clubs here, a smaller scene & Queen’s can’t justify delaying a consistent weekly gig or dropping everything to fly to NZ. The lack of cultural context is also a massive deterrent, imo.

I hope it’s not for the Egyptian drag or whatever she did years ago and apologized for. I love Hannah and you can tell she’s very genuine

Drag Race has had a HORRIBLE impact on the scene here in the uk
sunmimi imfurst Posted August 13, 2023 Posted August 13, 2023 Yeah I don’t know any of these queens pre drag race Australia is still a bar/club scene for the most part, there are some really well known drag queens in Melbourne (art Simone’s driving show features a few of them) and they are nowhere to be seen lol. It’s fine to cast unknown queens but they are all kinda similar besides a few lol. Hollywood seems new on the scene but is that the one everyone was talking about on Twitter with a bad rep lol?
genetic fail Posted August 13, 2023 Posted August 13, 2023 I read somewhere that the established queens don’t audition because they don’t want their racist past exposed like Karen and Scarlett 2
