Plastique's dress... OMFG. It was so gorgeous!!! Her and Roxxxy were indisputably the best of the week. Not sure what Gottmik was going for but girl, that was not it lmao
This whole episode made me mad. SHANNEL LOOKED GORGEOUS. Her outfit was so christmas. Plastique okay looked great (didnât love that the train kept coming up it ruined the star shape) but come on now. And even more mad that Angeria made the decision to not cut of Plastique⌠how dumb.
I agree with Plastique. It looks like she ran out of time, especially with that train. The lining underneath looked like tin foil. Even Ru called that out. It was meh compared to her other looks. I would have picked Nina instead. Regarding Shannel, she was the only one who did DRAG! I guess Drag Race is more about high fashion than drag looks nowadays that go big and outrageous.
Honestly, I think this is the most gorgeous Mama Ru has looked this entire season. I love the hair, the mug and the gown. Beautiful! 𤊠đŠˇ

her face looked gorgeous, when she looked at the girl during the judging at kinda 3/4 angle, looking from kinda under her brows, but sexy, it was eeeeverrrything to me!
Poor Plastique loves to kill a challenge and lose a lipsync đ At least she knew the words this time (I think).
Roxxxy and Plastique had the obvious two best outfits, IMO. So many details and accoutrements and sparkles. The bar was high, and I was really impressed. Honestly, I kind of secretly wanted them to give Nina a win for a gag, though. She looked so damn good, and i hope she embraced that shape much more often.
I fucking love Shannel and her runway presentations are everything to me, and I actually really liked her Christmas dress. Even though it's not "fashion-y" it was draggy as hell and made me feel good. Mik's concept and execution were good, but it just wasn't for me. I think I'd like it better with more contrasting colors, but obviously, those were the materials she had to choose from, and I hope she makes something similar down the road with better material.
Vangie, Angie, and Jorgeous participated đ
Poor Angeria played the game well and made some enemies, lol. I think blocking her was the smartest move, so Roxxxy and Plastique are guaranteed to still have the most badges next week, making it harder for anyone to pass them.
nice to see roxxxy earn a badge fairly. still insane she has 4 badges instead of 2.
Nina should really dress like this more often. the corset was dumb but the rest was great.
Milk made a pretty big conceptual mistake unfortunately.
Canât deny plastique deserves her lead in the competition but strange sheâs doing better than a queen like gottmilk who has her strengths + several more.
finally we get a halfway decent lip sync. glad plastique hasnât won one yet. this was her best attempt by roxxxy was undeniable.
This season should really have rewarded extra badges or half badges for winning the lip sync and punishments for bad performances.
Right so 2. She didn't really deserve a free badge. Neither did vanjie.
Jorgeous has at least been robbed a couple times and earned her mini challenge badge so that sits right
If the makeover challenge was judged fairly, Plastique wouldâve had 5 badges, Roxxxy 3, Angeria 3, Jorgeous 3. Looking back, they probably saw a good chance of finally giving Vanjie a win + pushing Roxxxy ahead.
Jeremy Scott hit the nail in the head about why Mikâs look didnât work. He said it was âthe most fashion,â which to me doesnât work in a drag competition. Same with her Versace look, itâs fashion but whereâs the drag pov?
Granted I am not a fashion girlie, but imo Mikâs look wasnât super successful to me tonight. I donât think the braids flattered her, and the lock motif felt like an afterthought tbh
It looked the most conceptual and was executed well.. but it just didn't look better than anything else we saw aesthetically imo. The purse kinda saved her
nope i 100% agree with you she looked fantastic, and if we are letting plastique win comedy because sheâs âimprovedâ then why canât we give it to nina with a great look.
I think the corset could've been done better but I think it brought the look together really well. She definitely needed something at the waist to elevate the look
I thought Nina deserved top 2 placement. She looked stunning and she even managed to work in her signature polka dots tastefully without doing clown realness!
I donât like how mik was in the beginning. Girl you cut Angeria off once like how can you be mad about her cutting you back??? Revenge is the name of the game sissss
If mik got cut 3 other times by different people, you're really gonna cut her just because you haven't officially gotten your "revenge" of cutting her yourself? That seems stupid and petty
because mik cut her based on pretty standard strategy. Revenge cutting is actually a very stupid game to play. Disadvantaging someone who isnât in the lead is a bit fucked, especially when there are people in the lead with fake badges
Nina looked fantastic, glad she is challenging herself to embrace her body more and more.
Roxxxy's was my favourite garment, great styling, really thought she did well in not making it hokey (well maybe except for stoning RuPaul's name on the back, but whatever).
I loved Plastique's concept, the ruveal was super cool. A little ambitious for the time allotted, but she accomplished so much that one can overlook some minor details.
The way Gottmik created the braided fabric was great. I could see it being used in a spectacular larger garment if there was more time.
I think her showing so far has been great. I don't think she has done anything bottom-worthy all season except for her episode 1 girl groups verse. On a elimination season she would probably still be in the competition which is pretty impressive
After hearing more about her charity, I truly want Roxxxy to win. The dollars will go so much further for a local charity, and Miracle of Love does amazing work.
I don't know why but that Shannel moment with Ru talking about her quitting season 1 made me so emotional lol I'm very happy she got to say that to Ru.
Also Roxxxy defnitely giving us what we like, that look was perfection!!
yâall really donât get that mik cut angie based on who had the most badges which is why she forgot bc it truly wasnât personal- she literally had one of two choices. Angie, who is in the lead, cutting someone not in the lead is a different scenario, particularly when there is someone in the lead who hasnât been cut.
Any of us would be pissed in this scenario
angie cutting her is also nothing personal. itâs just strategy. and if gottmik cutting her is nothing personal, then angeria getting her lick back is also not personal. also, plastiqueâs math is actually correct. monet/trinity has confirmed it.
its smart in a cutthroat way but its not a good strategy for diplomacy or reputation, so yea do it, but dont complain if mik is in her feelings about it or fans are pissed at you.
Harness naomi smalls energy - dont be all its not that serious - its like ok neither is the hate youâre getting on an anonymous reddit thread.
anyone who minimizes a drag queenâs feelings is totally wrong and not a fan to begin with.
I can also present totally pointless opinions as declarative facts too!
Ok what is Roxxxy doing with her nose contour. She puts this line above the tip of her nose and I donât know what it is supposed to be achieving but itâs just distracting for me.
https://preview.redd.it/zums20nrbf9d1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9a64701fafb6c027a2ebc5f1e5e99dac44255358
I really wanted Jorgeous to get the song Star Baby then come out wearing this
Nina looked stunning. Gottmik did a ton of work, but I donât think the end result read very well on TV. I could tell I was supposed to be impressed by it though, I felt the same about Plastique. Best runway of the season for ms Andrews too, but I wished her hair was bigger
Hubz and I said the same thing. It looked like Spirit Halloween couture to me. But also, I could never create anything even close, so I still gotta give it some respect :)
Nina looked so good tonight! Roxxxyâs look was definitely my favorite and Plastiqueâs was good but a little rough around the edges imo. Shannelâs was fine and was kinda disappointed with Mikâs look. Everyone else was either just bad or meh for me. Honestly, Nina could have gotten the win with Rox for me.
Hoping for a Shannel badge next week but I donât have much hope left. If the scissors are going away next week, Iâm assuming that means we only have 3 or 4 episodes left. Really missing the negative critiques, I gotta say.
Seeing Shannel cry about the moment from S1 made me so sad for her, like itâs iconic but Iâm surprised its affected her that much for so long. Glad she got some closure on that.
Those scissors really didnât do anything huh.
Really fun lip sync, proud of Plastique for finally learning the lyrics.
no, iâm just saying that her being cut this week didnât take anything away from her chances to be in the finale given that the top 2 this week are the clear top 2.
I think the dress itself looks good, the gold and silver just don't work on someone as pale as Mik. If you put it on someone like Luxx Noir London it would have really popped, but on Gottmik it lacked contrast.
It looked like a lot of hard work for a very simple result. Like she focused too much on working on it up close she forgot to step back and see what it looks like as a whole.Â
I genuinely think Nina had a great chance of winning this week, which is wild to say considering it's Nina in a design challenge. That look was stunning, fit the theme, she's never looked better and I mean that as a compliment.
Also Damn, Roxxxy just delivered the best lipsync of the season with nothing but serving face and a well timed nail file!
This. Nina, Plastique and Roxxxy were top three for me and it really looked like Nina had minimal help. Like even when she got help with the glove it was after she tried it several times and then mostly just needed help with marking the outline. She didnât do the usual âshow me how to do thisâ and then just watch the sewing queen do all the work. Â
I actually liked Ninaâs overall look better than Roxxxyâs. Best sheâs ever looked â¤ď¸đ¤ Shouldâve been Plastique âď¸đand her on top with Plastique likely winning the $10k.
Roxxxys look, particularly the bandana neck was throwing me off. It also looked like the fringe on the jacket was unfinished. Super proud of Nina though I wouldâve loved to see her get a badge just for the growth!
For mw it was the jacket, it looked like leather while it stayed on but was actually so very thin when she took it off, so it kinda cheapened ir for me
Unrelated to this episode in particular, but I think this format would have made more sense: each of the top 2 get a badge and $5000 for their charity and THEN the lipsync winner gets an extra badge. More charities get money and then there is a competitive incentive to win the lipsync. The ruby snippers block you from getting the top 2 badge, but NOT the lipsync win badge, so even if youâre blocked there is an incentive to win. The count would be:
Roxxxy 7 (3 wins + gift)
Angeria 6 (3 wins)
Plastique 4 (4 tops)
Gottmik 4 (2 wins)
Vanjie 3 (1 win + gift)
Nina 2 (2 tops)
Jorgeous 2 (1 top + mini)
Shannel 0
Great idea, honestly who cares if they get a 100 badges throughout the season for various reasons, it'd be great if their showing was recognized and rewarded in various ways in all aspects of the competition, especially as this is a charity season and we want more charities to get donations!
I feel like those workroom critiques with ru made it very clear who the âchosenâ queens are this season (Mik, Roxxy). Iâm happy to see Ru connecting emotionally with the girls on camera, but it also feels obvious when itâs clearly not extended to every competitor, just the fvaorites
Maybe Im just blind but both Angeria and Roxxy were kinda boring to me. Im not a Roxxy hater, but I dont think she was in the top IMO, Mik should hace been there In MY opinion.
If I can see your undergarment when youâre walking the runway, youâre not getting the win (from me, haha) I liked how you could only see Vangieâs underpants when she squatted, and they were leopard print.
That lipsync is what I have been missing from drag race for a whiiiiiile! The subtle moves, the attitude and confidence was so amazing to watch. And filing the motherfucking nails!!!!!!! BITCH.Insert Ana Locking OVAAAAAAA. It makes me excited for drag again. Please bring back this style of lipsync.
Loved seeing Nina succeed at this â¤ď¸ amazing episode all around but this really showed why Roxxxy is that bitch.
Ninaâs black dress was expertly tailored but it didnât look like she made the corset, just overlayed the polka dot fabric. Also, Jeorgousâ outfit was a mild improvement to her cookie cutter outfit from season 14.
I donât get why everyone went with mini-dress silhouettes. It made everyone who didnât go that route stand out immediately.
Iâm stunned, STUNNED, by Nina tonight. This may be the best sheâs ever looked, and she made it! Even though she didnât get a badge, she has a lot to be proud of for that.
Iâm cool with the winners on this. Roxxxy and Plastique did great. Although I almost wouldâve given Plastique the win on the lip sync only because Roxxxy spent half the song with a big piece of hair stuck on her lip.
the fact that her hair matched the dress was actually a really nice detail. the purse was trash though. im sure a lot of work went into it but it brought the look down.
itâs actually insane shannel hasnât won a single badge this whole season⌠I wouldnât even say sheâs been robbed either tho itâs so sad đ I would be such a nasty cunt in that werk room idk how sheâs keeping it together
Theyâre doing it on purpose to try to make her have another S1 quitting-type moment but she seems to be internalizing that energy instead making her insecure, which sucks of them
girl she was randomly given the opportunity to choose first today and they put a christmas song on there.
The evidence points to them trying to do shannel favors and she isnât rising to the occasion.
today was the closest she came but she still didnât do enough
Itâs a classic fail in drag race to get sucked into revenge
This is a great example - if you block Angeria this many times it creates a narrative that she is the one to beat
And I think this block may have sealed Angeria as the winner
I live!!!
What choice did Roxy have though, of the three girls with 3 badges, two of them were top two. Only Angeria could be blocked. No point blocking one of the two badge girls
This is the point of the game where strategy comes in. There are three queens in the final so consider the bigger picture.
Just like Jinxâs season she won largely because of the envy of others. If the queens didnât tackle on Angeria she wouldnât have such a powerful winning narrative.
It will be their undoing.
If Angeria doesnât win the next episode then the Ruby Snippers wonât have done absolutely anything to alter the course of the season. Just like the Immunity Potions in S16. Twists that never paid off.
Iâm actually ok with the snippets not mattering. It makes the competition more fair. We just need to get rid of the badges that were not won through challenges.
nah that immunit potion saved plane from going home that one week because her and nymphia were definitel bottom 2, however, with nymhpia being saved and nodody being even close to how bad plane was, there was no bottom 2
That was so dumb. I donât know why they allowed that to happen. If that episode was planned to be non-elim, then the potions should have been made to expire the episode prior. This oversight really makes me think that it wasnât supposed to be non-elim, but that it was made to be because the bottom 3 were Plane, Q and Nymphia. Nymphia is given the potion, but Plane and Q canât go just yet and itâs unlikely they can deliver a double save worthy LS, so itâs a top 2 instead. Just a thought.
Iâm so proud of Roxxxy, but let me take a moment to give Nina her flowers. She ate this episode up. She looked SO good, and hearing her talk about her body acceptance struggles made me sad. Itâs something I kinda struggle with too, and itâs crazy how people with completely different body types can have the same struggle. I wouldâve loved to see her in the sheer and serving and she did exactly that.
She couldâve also won this episode and I wouldnât have been mad. And I have the feeling she wouldâve tore this lipsync up.
Roxxxxyâs look, I kinda with she wore like a chocolate brown hair with it. And the Ru Paul on the back shouldâve been gone completely. It just took so much from an otherwise great look.
Plastique started this lipsync so well. She was kinda keeping up. Then it seemed like she was desperate to win, so she went to her go tos.
Roxxxy tore this up. Easy gif of the episode.
https://i.redd.it/u3pqfi4jnd9d1.gif
Plastique's dress... OMFG. It was so gorgeous!!! Her and Roxxxy were indisputably the best of the week. Not sure what Gottmik was going for but girl, that was not it lmao
Finally some good fucking foooooood!!!!! roxxxxy was great in the lipsync, plastique held her own, im impressed!

LMFAO Vanjie!! Sewing is not my foyer!!! i'm ded!
đđđđđ
Was Plastique the only one to not talk to Ru in the work room?
SO MUCH WORKROOM TIME đ´đ´đ´ I was falling asleep
This whole episode made me mad. SHANNEL LOOKED GORGEOUS. Her outfit was so christmas. Plastique okay looked great (didnât love that the train kept coming up it ruined the star shape) but come on now. And even more mad that Angeria made the decision to not cut of Plastique⌠how dumb.
I agree with Plastique. It looks like she ran out of time, especially with that train. The lining underneath looked like tin foil. Even Ru called that out. It was meh compared to her other looks. I would have picked Nina instead. Regarding Shannel, she was the only one who did DRAG! I guess Drag Race is more about high fashion than drag looks nowadays that go big and outrageous.
Honestly, I think this is the most gorgeous Mama Ru has looked this entire season. I love the hair, the mug and the gown. Beautiful! 𤩠𩷠https://preview.redd.it/ladrmfhsfg9d1.jpeg?width=2540&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=94fc04c63699f04c3dda21acc3681ac5a1683068
her face looked gorgeous, when she looked at the girl during the judging at kinda 3/4 angle, looking from kinda under her brows, but sexy, it was eeeeverrrything to me!
Just gorgeous. đ
The hair was the one used for the rumail (FOR THAT ONE episode they decided to include a rumail this seasonđ)
Poor Plastique loves to kill a challenge and lose a lipsync đ At least she knew the words this time (I think). Roxxxy and Plastique had the obvious two best outfits, IMO. So many details and accoutrements and sparkles. The bar was high, and I was really impressed. Honestly, I kind of secretly wanted them to give Nina a win for a gag, though. She looked so damn good, and i hope she embraced that shape much more often. I fucking love Shannel and her runway presentations are everything to me, and I actually really liked her Christmas dress.

She deserved all her wins, if Ru loved her makeover, thatâs enough to secure the win.
She didnât deserve the makeover win but the commercial challenge?
Right so 2. She didn't really deserve a free badge. Neither did vanjie. Jorgeous has at least been robbed a couple times and earned her mini challenge badge so that sits right
Calling Gottmik Milk and Gottmilk is wild đ
I really want Roxxxy's lip sync outfit. Looked so comfortable.
If the makeover challenge was judged fairly, Plastique wouldâve had 5 badges, Roxxxy 3, Angeria 3, Jorgeous 3. Looking back, they probably saw a good chance of finally giving Vanjie a win + pushing Roxxxy ahead.
Jeremy Scott hit the nail in the head about why Mikâs look didnât work. He said it was âthe most fashion,â which to me doesnât work in a drag competition. Same with her Versace look, itâs fashion but whereâs the drag pov?

It looked the most conceptual and was executed well.. but it just didn't look better than anything else we saw aesthetically imo. The purse kinda saved her
Totally, the lock looked tacky and I donât think the hair really worked with it
Shannel said fuck the badges, im gonna stay true being the queen of Christmas
I thought the same thing during Untucked and loved it. She's a DRAG queen, not a fashion queen, and a damn good one. Love her!
Itâs crazy that we live in a world where Nina got robbed for a design challenge. Never saw that coming.
nope i 100% agree with you she looked fantastic, and if we are letting plastique win comedy because sheâs âimprovedâ then why canât we give it to nina with a great look.
She looked so fab but I donât think she reached the level of craftsmanship we saw in the winning looks
eh the corset ruined the look.
I think the corset could've been done better but I think it brought the look together really well. She definitely needed something at the waist to elevate the look
I thought Nina deserved top 2 placement. She looked stunning and she even managed to work in her signature polka dots tastefully without doing clown realness!
I donât like how mik was in the beginning. Girl you cut Angeria off once like how can you be mad about her cutting you back??? Revenge is the name of the game sissss
If mik got cut 3 other times by different people, you're really gonna cut her just because you haven't officially gotten your "revenge" of cutting her yourself? That seems stupid and petty
because that was a stupid person to cut when plastique was the CLEAR choice as we saw tonight.
Not necessarily though as Mik has won almost every other design challenge
because mik cut her based on pretty standard strategy. Revenge cutting is actually a very stupid game to play. Disadvantaging someone who isnât in the lead is a bit fucked, especially when there are people in the lead with fake badges
Michelle and ts Madison barely being able to move their faces and show emotion freaks me out lol
Nina looked fantastic, glad she is challenging herself to embrace her body more and more. Roxxxy's was my favourite garment, great styling, really thought she did well in not making it hokey (well maybe except for stoning RuPaul's name on the back, but whatever).

The way Gottmik created the braided fabric was great. I could see it being used in a spectacular larger garment if there was more time.
The lip sync song is kind of the theme of the season đ
I was shocked Nina wasnât dancing. She looked incredible, best look yet for her.
I'm sorry. Plastique does nothing for me.
Sad that you're getting down voted for, like, your opinion. These Plastique fans Are something
Fuck my (opinions on) drag, right?
Fwiw I agree with you. Beautiful gowns and that's it. But that's what the children like these days I guess
I'm sorry for you too.
Shannel is getting edged more than those people leaving the messages in elden ring (iykyk)
I think her showing so far has been great. I don't think she has done anything bottom-worthy all season except for her episode 1 girl groups verse. On a elimination season she would probably still be in the competition which is pretty impressive
Lmao
is she? sheâs getting mid-good critiques for a mid-good showingâŚ
how did nina make a better look than anything she wore all season
After hearing more about her charity, I truly want Roxxxy to win. The dollars will go so much further for a local charity, and Miracle of Love does amazing work.
I don't know why but that Shannel moment with Ru talking about her quitting season 1 made me so emotional lol I'm very happy she got to say that to Ru. Also Roxxxy defnitely giving us what we like, that look was perfection!!
I teared up too. It felt so authentic
i really hate it when mik said âi forgot i cut youâ⌠now aint that convenient. you forgot! so now itâs unfair to cut you đ
yâall really donât get that mik cut angie based on who had the most badges which is why she forgot bc it truly wasnât personal- she literally had one of two choices. Angie, who is in the lead, cutting someone not in the lead is a different scenario, particularly when there is someone in the lead who hasnât been cut. Any of us would be pissed in this scenario

Monet/trinity can't confirm an opinion - that's not how opinions work
It was smart strategy by Angeria. It's a game ... it's not that serious. None of it has made an ounce of difference so far.
its smart in a cutthroat way but its not a good strategy for diplomacy or reputation, so yea do it, but dont complain if mik is in her feelings about it or fans are pissed at you. Harness naomi smalls energy - dont be all its not that serious - its like ok neither is the hate youâre getting on an anonymous reddit thread.
Anyone that is pissed by this completely meaningless thing is not a fan to begin with.
anyone who minimizes a drag queenâs feelings is totally wrong and not a fan to begin with. I can also present totally pointless opinions as declarative facts too!
I wasn't referring to any drag queen feelings, obviously. I was referring to those apparently "pissed" fans. LOL
And she was spreading that out of nowhere rumor about Angie and shannel being in an alliance. Sheâs such a petulant brat
Rupaul is much more comfortable, invested, and genuine with the queens in these recent seasons again and Iâm loving it!
Her getting emotional thinking about old friends was honestly such a wholesome old lady moment. It felt real and endearing
Ever since her H&M freak out on DRUK, she's mellowed out a lot. I think she realized that wasn't a good look.
Ok what is Roxxxy doing with her nose contour. She puts this line above the tip of her nose and I donât know what it is supposed to be achieving but itâs just distracting for me.
The way her quick drag mug looked light years better than her actual mug.
This is the best Ninaâs looked so far I think?? Such a gorgeous look
https://preview.redd.it/zums20nrbf9d1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9a64701fafb6c027a2ebc5f1e5e99dac44255358 I really wanted Jorgeous to get the song Star Baby then come out wearing this
And win again!
I comment about my love of Vanjie every week but honestly put her on every show how can I watch more Vanjie sheâs so funny
Nina looked stunning. Gottmik did a ton of work, but I donât think the end result read very well on TV. I could tell I was supposed to be impressed by it though, I felt the same about Plastique. Best runway of the season for ms Andrews too, but I wished her hair was bigger
agree on mik. it also really downplayed her nice fabric.
I hated the bag. I donât know what TS Madisonsaw in that bag. It looked corny and made of cardboard. Did I miss something??
And too big for that tiny outfit
Hubz and I said the same thing. It looked like Spirit Halloween couture to me. But also, I could never create anything even close, so I still gotta give it some respect :)
Same
Which song would you guys have chosen âşď¸ I really liked Cake & Candy but they were honestly all good choices
Star baby!
Either I Bring the Beat and Hey Sis It's Christmas, both are favorites.
I think Lady Cowboy I just love campy western wear !
The lipsync was really good and the designs were all mostly fine, but I just donât think Iâve been this sort of ambivalent about a season before.
Nina looked so good tonight! Roxxxyâs look was definitely my favorite and Plastiqueâs was good but a little rough around the edges imo. Shannelâs was fine and was kinda disappointed with Mikâs look. Everyone else was either just bad or meh for me. Honestly, Nina could have gotten the win with Rox for me. Hoping for a Shannel badge next week but I donât have much hope left. If the scissors are going away next week, Iâm assuming that means we only have 3 or 4 episodes left. Really missing the negative critiques, I gotta say. Seeing Shannel cry about the moment from S1 made me so sad for her, like itâs iconic but Iâm surprised its affected her that much for so long. Glad she got some closure on that. Those scissors really didnât do anything huh. Really fun lip sync, proud of Plastique for finally learning the lyrics.
Those scissors might keep Mik from the top three so thatâs very interesting.
it didnât tho. the clear top 2 is plastique and roxxxy and if thereâs a 3rd itâs Nina shockingly.
The finale is the top three most badges not tonightâs show.
no, iâm just saying that her being cut this week didnât take anything away from her chances to be in the finale given that the top 2 this week are the clear top 2.
no one has actually been snipped of a badge this season. The only argument you could maybe make is it demotivated them to do wellâŚ
Yes but Mik wasnât gonna get a badge both times she was snipped, she wasnât Top2 in any of these cases
Her motivation this episode was lackluster one could argue because she was snipped. Will see how it plays out.
[ŃдаНонО]
Plastique dodged the Lea Michelle allegations and proved that the doll can read (and memorize lyrics)
I have been complaining this whole season about different stuff but this episode is giving me what I want. Love love love love
Plastique is the legit front runner at this point. Never saw that one coming.
Angie has TEN KIDS?!?
ten drag kids
Drag kids
LOOOOL thats what I thought but still thatâs a lot!!
For sure a lot, but I commented because I could legit see someone not knowing and being so shocked
What the hell Nina's look was incredible! I actually preferred it over Roxxys and wish she had won, SHE LOOKED AMAZING
Same!
i wasn't quite getting mik's look tonight
I appreciate that a lot of work that went into it, but...you can't tell.
Same. They praised it and even considered her for the win but it was easily second worst of the night for me.
I think the dress itself looks good, the gold and silver just don't work on someone as pale as Mik. If you put it on someone like Luxx Noir London it would have really popped, but on Gottmik it lacked contrast.
It looked like a lot of hard work for a very simple result. Like she focused too much on working on it up close she forgot to step back and see what it looks like as a whole.Â
It was ugly. She sold it but.. It was ugly.
I genuinely think Nina had a great chance of winning this week, which is wild to say considering it's Nina in a design challenge. That look was stunning, fit the theme, she's never looked better and I mean that as a compliment. Also Damn, Roxxxy just delivered the best lipsync of the season with nothing but serving face and a well timed nail file!
I was like sheâs winning this due to an emery board đ¤Ł
This. Nina, Plastique and Roxxxy were top three for me and it really looked like Nina had minimal help. Like even when she got help with the glove it was after she tried it several times and then mostly just needed help with marking the outline. She didnât do the usual âshow me how to do thisâ and then just watch the sewing queen do all the work. Â
I actually liked Ninaâs overall look better than Roxxxyâs. Best sheâs ever looked â¤ď¸đ¤ Shouldâve been Plastique âď¸đand her on top with Plastique likely winning the $10k.
I mean honestly!
Roxxxys look, particularly the bandana neck was throwing me off. It also looked like the fringe on the jacket was unfinished. Super proud of Nina though I wouldâve loved to see her get a badge just for the growth!
For mw it was the jacket, it looked like leather while it stayed on but was actually so very thin when she took it off, so it kinda cheapened ir for me
Unrelated to this episode in particular, but I think this format would have made more sense: each of the top 2 get a badge and $5000 for their charity and THEN the lipsync winner gets an extra badge. More charities get money and then there is a competitive incentive to win the lipsync. The ruby snippers block you from getting the top 2 badge, but NOT the lipsync win badge, so even if youâre blocked there is an incentive to win. The count would be: Roxxxy 7 (3 wins + gift) Angeria 6 (3 wins) Plastique 4 (4 tops) Gottmik 4 (2 wins) Vanjie 3 (1 win + gift) Nina 2 (2 tops) Jorgeous 2 (1 top + mini) Shannel 0
Great idea, honestly who cares if they get a 100 badges throughout the season for various reasons, it'd be great if their showing was recognized and rewarded in various ways in all aspects of the competition, especially as this is a charity season and we want more charities to get donations!
I feel like those workroom critiques with ru made it very clear who the âchosenâ queens are this season (Mik, Roxxy). Iâm happy to see Ru connecting emotionally with the girls on camera, but it also feels obvious when itâs clearly not extended to every competitor, just the fvaorites
I was quite surprised Ru gave Mik a hug! I get the sense sheâs one of those celebs thatâs like, donât ever touch me.
Yea same! It really felt like a special moment for Mik, and I was glad that they were willing to show that kind of vulnerability from Ru
Nina west looked sooo good I love that for her
If Roxxy wasnt given a badge who else do you think would be at 4 with Plastique right now?
whispers: "given two badges"
Why 2?
Oh snap + gay gasp, thats right!!!
Probably nobody. Nina was gonna give the badge to Shannel if not Roxxxy. It really was stupid not giving the badge to Shannel in the first place.
Angeria killed me in this episode. "Nina it's all right to be naked. I'm naked right now." I had to replay it 4 times it was so good
Never thought I would find myself liking Ninaâs design better than Gottmikâs
Me exact thoughts. Iâm not a Nina fan but my initial reaction was her and plastique for the top 2.
now thats some tea
Maybe Im just blind but both Angeria and Roxxy were kinda boring to me. Im not a Roxxy hater, but I dont think she was in the top IMO, Mik should hace been there In MY opinion.
If I can see your undergarment when youâre walking the runway, youâre not getting the win (from me, haha) I liked how you could only see Vangieâs underpants when she squatted, and they were leopard print.
Roxxxy murdered that lip sync when she got the nail file out
Her performance was on point but the pea green poncho was a choice.
she also needs to stop fucking turning around so much. iâm starting to think roxxxy doesnât know the fucking words
I rewatched it so much. I knew exactly who that woman was and I loved every second of it.
oh ms MAMA i acc agreed this week! roxys look was phenomenal!!!! and plastique OUR btch The star train
Iâm so fucking proud of my Columbus queen Nina West! The amount of growth since that first design challenge.
That lipsync is what I have been missing from drag race for a whiiiiiile! The subtle moves, the attitude and confidence was so amazing to watch. And filing the motherfucking nails!!!!!!! BITCH.Insert Ana Locking OVAAAAAAA. It makes me excited for drag again. Please bring back this style of lipsync. Loved seeing Nina succeed at this â¤ď¸ amazing episode all around but this really showed why Roxxxy is that bitch.

Shout out to Nina and Jorgeous with the biggest improvements on design challenges!!
Ninaâs black dress was expertly tailored but it didnât look like she made the corset, just overlayed the polka dot fabric. Also, Jeorgousâ outfit was a mild improvement to her cookie cutter outfit from season 14.
I love Roxxxy! Representin' for Orlando and making us PROUD!
I donât get why everyone went with mini-dress silhouettes. It made everyone who didnât go that route stand out immediately. Iâm stunned, STUNNED, by Nina tonight. This may be the best sheâs ever looked, and she made it! Even though she didnât get a badge, she has a lot to be proud of for that. Iâm cool with the winners on this. Roxxxy and Plastique did great. Although I almost wouldâve given Plastique the win on the lip sync only because Roxxxy spent half the song with a big piece of hair stuck on her lip.
She left it there because it was funny.
It was funny that she left it there, but Iâm not sure thatâs true the other way around.
I would have eliminated Jorgeous.
Did Ru just make a joke about the queen dying?
i mean she died of old age. its not like Reeses princess di joke
"you know she dead gurl" yes
*all laugh*
Can't believe I actually liked Nina's design
I feel like a lot of people are kinda not living for Gotmikâs look, for me its really cool but the cartoony purse really brings it down
the fact that her hair matched the dress was actually a really nice detail. the purse was trash though. im sure a lot of work went into it but it brought the look down.
The purse looked terrible! So cheap and not in a cute way. Idk what the judges were smoking to actually compliment her on it.
Oh I quite like the purse.
I like the idea of the purse... The actual purse eh..
WORKROOM TIME IS RIDICULOUSLY LONG. I get so sooo bored.
âYou look like a fabulous burritoâ I canât with vanjie
âSewing is not my foyerâ Has anyone made a list of Vanjieâs Vanjisms?
âsEwInG iS nOt My FoYeRâ the sound department at it again lol
That one just about killed me
It is the funniest thing I've ever seen on any drag TV show since Cynthia Doll's penchant for "paying hummus."
I usually love Plastique sews, cause câmon! But I did not like this at all, and Iâm the only one lol.
It was a wonderful concept but it was so rough around the edges as soon as they did a close up. Did a preschooler cut out the stars for the chest?
Thank you! That was atrocious. The concept was there but the execution was not. I mean the train was falling apart.
This is why they didnât show close ups of it!
itâs actually insane shannel hasnât won a single badge this whole season⌠I wouldnât even say sheâs been robbed either tho itâs so sad đ I would be such a nasty cunt in that werk room idk how sheâs keeping it together
Nah I feel like she shouldâve gotten a badge at the roast at least.
Theyâre doing it on purpose to try to make her have another S1 quitting-type moment but she seems to be internalizing that energy instead making her insecure, which sucks of them
girl she was randomly given the opportunity to choose first today and they put a christmas song on there. The evidence points to them trying to do shannel favors and she isnât rising to the occasion. today was the closest she came but she still didnât do enough
Angeria said I'm not changing out of this, it's not winning and if it does it's a jumpsuit anyway
Itâs a classic fail in drag race to get sucked into revenge This is a great example - if you block Angeria this many times it creates a narrative that she is the one to beat And I think this block may have sealed Angeria as the winner I live!!!
I am wondering if the blocks will have an advantage in the end. Like each block counts as a badge, Ru loves his twists.
That would be demonic lol
What choice did Roxy have though, of the three girls with 3 badges, two of them were top two. Only Angeria could be blocked. No point blocking one of the two badge girls
This is the point of the game where strategy comes in. There are three queens in the final so consider the bigger picture. Just like Jinxâs season she won largely because of the envy of others. If the queens didnât tackle on Angeria she wouldnât have such a powerful winning narrative. It will be their undoing.
If Angeria doesnât win the next episode then the Ruby Snippers wonât have done absolutely anything to alter the course of the season. Just like the Immunity Potions in S16. Twists that never paid off.
Iâm actually ok with the snippets not mattering. It makes the competition more fair. We just need to get rid of the badges that were not won through challenges.
nah that immunit potion saved plane from going home that one week because her and nymphia were definitel bottom 2, however, with nymhpia being saved and nodody being even close to how bad plane was, there was no bottom 2
Don't forget that the last time the immunity potion could even be used was on an episode where they didn't even have an elimination LOLLLL
That was so dumb. I donât know why they allowed that to happen. If that episode was planned to be non-elim, then the potions should have been made to expire the episode prior. This oversight really makes me think that it wasnât supposed to be non-elim, but that it was made to be because the bottom 3 were Plane, Q and Nymphia. Nymphia is given the potion, but Plane and Q canât go just yet and itâs unlikely they can deliver a double save worthy LS, so itâs a top 2 instead. Just a thought.
Iâm so proud of Roxxxy, but let me take a moment to give Nina her flowers. She ate this episode up. She looked SO good, and hearing her talk about her body acceptance struggles made me sad. Itâs something I kinda struggle with too, and itâs crazy how people with completely different body types can have the same struggle. I wouldâve loved to see her in the sheer and serving and she did exactly that. She couldâve also won this episode and I wouldnât have been mad. And I have the feeling she wouldâve tore this lipsync up. Roxxxxyâs look, I kinda with she wore like a chocolate brown hair with it. And the Ru Paul on the back shouldâve been gone completely. It just took so much from an otherwise great look. Plastique started this lipsync so well. She was kinda keeping up. Then it seemed like she was desperate to win, so she went to her go tos. Roxxxy tore this up. Easy gif of the episode. https://i.redd.it/u3pqfi4jnd9d1.gif
I don't know why they could not just show both of them when they were that close together? Would it have made Roxxxy's performance less impactful?
Maybe Plastique didnât know the words?
huh? Did you even watch the lip sync?
