Just one thing rub me the wrong way and I´m sure most people will overlook it (not only because it came from Vangie but because it was quick): When they talked about her wardrobe problem, Shuga tried to put in a nice way the obvious: the fact that what was really off about Vangies journey was the fact of the judges keeping giving her the same critics week after week (not only about the clothes tho, her acting aswell) and the fact she got free passes till the end.. In response, Vangie was very quicky to point to Shugar that its not her fault/its Shugar own issue if she doesnt have personality (or something between these lines). If this came from Silkys mouth (it was how she usually defended herself before), people would be mad. But, ya know...

IMO, a ok reunion... You can tell thats not any real tension between the queens. They tried their best to sell it, bring back the drama that happened on the show but nothing surprising for me, anyone with sense of reality would know that they are all fine with each other/ everything discussed was about things that happened a year ago, alot for the camera (queens prooved they are aware) they all made up and moved on. A good part tho was Ru kinda having to acknowledge that she didnt gave Nina the credit she deserved. Luckly Nina is still gratefull and must accept a invite for a All Stars.

Well, this is actually a result I can live with... I was ready to watch they keep saving both Vangie and Silky so at least, we got one out (neither should be here/make the finale anyway). I actually liked this last episode, and I usually hate it because it became so boring when its only 4 queens remaining, we know they are all gonna be safe, no real lip sync, no critics etc so this top 5 to top 4 format actually worked. Yvie nailed tonight/should be considered as a win. Her look was perfect, her dance performance? Out of this world! She has being fadding the last couple weeks, she brought her A game tonight, strong contender going into the finale. Ake´ria recovered from the rehearsals and did a mostly good job. Not outstanding, such as her look, but solid all the way. Good to learn abou her story, I just dont see a real contender for the crown (she lacks a element of surprise). But she deserved to make it. Brooke I get what the judges saw on her performance, she could have done better (not even about interpretation but on hit harder the moves). Would have liked her look more had she turned into a black swan..Not her best but still, well enough to make her move on/be safe. Sure producers didnt want to waste the chance to have her lip syncing with Vangie. At least, it gave her another moment to shine, on a lip sync not only with interesting moves, but some real emotion/interpretation. Another strong contender moving on! Silky... at least shes showing to become aware of her issues (such as a drag queen and as a person). Tonight she was fine, she showed a human side of her. The runway was good, nothing surprising, but looked good. The dancing routine.. she got the least to work with, it was messy, should have landed her in the bottom. At least, she was giving her all, different of.. Miss Vangie.... We can´t not deslike her, I expected her to be supper annoying, was nice to see her softer/human side this season. Unfortunatelly, she isnt able to act yet, like, at all... Her dance routine was pure deer in the headlights, lifeless. Same as her lip syncs.. She do some moves, she is trying, but there is no soul, she looks like a doll (the combination of her extra heavy make up and be unable to act its not a good combination when it gets down to sell emotion). Nice dress, but IMO, she was the overall worst this week, and yep, no more second chances. So yeah, at least there is two very strong queens/very different from each other moving on. As long its between Ivye and Brooke, we will have a well deserved winner/a great lip sync for the crown. It could be a three hourses fighting for it if it was Nina instead of Silky at the finale tho.

Its not even just about tonight (with still was clear that Silky was out of her league), its about all season body of work... Yep, Vangie should have won tonights challenge but she wasnt even supose to be there.. ´´welcome to the competition Vangie`` like NOW??? They kept eliminate queens on little things (or even on nothing like last week) and saying: look, now its getting down to the wire, little things can eliminate you... This when Vangie and Silky have weeks of poor job/same mistakes/flaws that pop out more than any other queen since Ra´Jah left (combined with tiresome characters). I wont be watching/dont follow spoilers, but at this point I wouldnt be surprised if they find a way to eliminate Yvie or who knows, Brooke, next week when a small improvement from Silky and Vangie will be consider a ´´comeback/you deserve to move on to the finale!``. BTW: I dont blame either Vangie or Silky. The show is giving them the credit they dont deserve. For god sake, they only started to point out flaws on Silky like last week.. Before that was praise/victories when she didnt deserved. They made her feel she was killing it!

Tonight sumarized something that shouldnt be a surprise about the show priorities: Bad scripted show>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Messy Drama >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Competition>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LGBT rights/representation.

Ok, goodbye season 11. I said it last week, if they continued to keep pushing either Vangie or Silky and send any other home, it would be major bulshit of all season, and so it was. Good lucky for either Brooke and Ivye, but I wont be watching.

My worrie is more about what is comming next and on how far they will keep pushing Vangie and Silky. IMO, now, both should go one after the other, Brooke, Nina, Yvie and A´keria proved themselves and would be a great final 4 but I´m really worried that producers will do with one or more of them the same they did with Scarlett, Plastique and even more obvious now with Shuga: Make sure to knock one of them in the bottom in order to keep either Vangie or Silky safe so Ru can save either in the lip sync. Next week in particular, the make over challenge most of the times have some questionable feedback from the judges, when they can be really nit-pick with the queens they want in the bottom and overlook the same (or even worse) flaws on the queen they want to keep.

I was very happy about the episode until the very end rubbish results... I thought that finally the show would stop giving Silky and Vangie life savers and both would be the in the bottom 2.. And than, they let Silky safe again, put Shuga on the bottom without deserving it and Vangie win that souless lip sync with they pretending it was somehow great?Neither was really great, but at least Shugar was trying to sell some real emotion. I was hopping even for a double elimination (cause that song, could have gone way further), but Vangie staying was rubbish. Happy for Nina and Brooke (both own the challenge and the runway), Nina deserved that win because its clear she leader not only behind but at the scene time around, but I´m worried on how much they will keep dragging Silky and Vangie and who might be robbed next week (is becoming exausting to have them with the same struggles, same tired characters).

Exactly! Glad at least Ross wasnt there this week because he is another one blinded by how he is a Vangie fan. He would be fighting with Michelle like last week to keep her safe (Michelle is officially done with Vangie). Yep, a ok episode.. The problem with the main challenge is that theses shows already are bad entertainment so... Brooke was my favorite, specially because she had this character that wasnt like the other loud ones, she used her dancing skills to make it funny, she went all for it. I will give her a pass that she probably was so in the moment that she forgot to give Nina her cue with might have hurted her, but still, yep, Nina probably helped Brooke by swaping character but she nailed in a way that It was deserved. Akeria was good, she found a good ballance between be that crazy character but following a script (different from Vangie, Plastique, Silky and Shuga), so yep, probably the most professional at acting. Her look tho, wasnt my favorite at all (being so close, I would have give the victory to Brooke, that IMO, had the best runway, but no one was robbed tonight). I really hope Silky´s laziness blow up on her face soon. About Plastique, yep, could have her a couple more weeks instead of tiresome characters as Silky and sometimes Vangie but she also was having the problem on keep serving same character/runway. Even tonight, she still couldnt let go on be pretty first. Runway best from worst IMO: Brooke - Shuga - Ivye - Nina - Vangie - Plastique - Akeria - Silky.

One more thing: I thing they shouldnt allow the queens to pick this random sub celebrities from other reality shows. First: Mostly are very unknow, second: usually their are just a random bitchy/ghetto woman and third: for follow this sterotype, its easier for some queens to get away by just doing their own drag persona.

To be fair, that victory belonged to Nina. Silky should be happy to carry this victory, specially since the Snatch Game victory is always something queens like to brag about.

After see Nina having a fair and square victory robbed and given it to Silky and once again they giving Vangie a free pass just because she is her and see they letting it be between the two best contenders (yes, Snatch Game was their lowest point but it was supose to be Brooke VS Vangie), I was about to give up on the show, Once they started the lip sync tho, I knew that Ru would call a double stay, unless they went out of their mind. That lip sync was everything. I just hope that now, no more free pass on Vangie (girl is loved, already made her point.. keep advancing her like this, might actually hurt her by overexposing her limitations whiling showing blatant favoritism) or giving Silky a super star threatment when she does ok... Hope the competitions turns.. PS: Was Plastique´s look a mini version of Brooke´s Pisces look? Guiirl knows how to put some pretty looks but its always a sense of ´´I saw that before``.. Usually its from her, now its from other queens?

BTW, I noticed both Ru at the workroom and Ross during his critic towards Brooke that they are looking for flaws on her, either want to create a arc with her where she opens up or they will make her a shocking a couple weeks before the finale...

Ah ok episode... Different from some previous ones, it became quite clear right after see the looks/the show edit that Plastique would be this week winner and bottom 2 would be Akeria X Ra ´Jah. Good ridance cause having two passive aggressive delusional queens is too much. Anyway, on the runway looks (since that dance routine didnt mean much apart from the fact that only Nina and Yvie stood out and Silky and Ra´Jah were bad): Plastique: Apart still not be a departure from her usual looks, this looked the most beautiful, well putted together while done with unconventional materials. Well deserved win. Ivye: Last time she tried to serve something different/more hight fashion she missed the mark. This time tho, like Ross said, she brought a beauty/soft side without losing herself. And again, nice use of the materials. Shuga: I liked her choices this week, the make up, the wig, everything almost came together.. I think the problem with her, opposite of other queens, is that she doesnt have a signature style so week after week is a totally different take on the runway with not fully figured out looks. But I liked this one from waste up, bottom was ok... Brooke: A good look but I expected more and specially a use of different matterials.. She looked good, but not her brightest moment. Nina: I really liked the top half and how she showed her silluete this week. Wish tho she could have made a full dress out of that and not that unfinished bottom half. Silky: Her safe type of look, not much going on apart from the hat. Vangie: Kudos on try to make something different but I didnt liked it... The top half wasnt well resolved, same as the bottom, the wig/make up wasnt matching.. It was a very random look/shes lucky producers want to keep her around and let her be safe after this. Ra´Jah: Kudos for the idea behind it, but the execution was a mess. Akeria: Wow, this challenge took her down alot, specially comming from last week. Even by having to change her look, it was clear she was clueless on what to do with those matterials so the end result was a boring/unfinished/unflattering look. I can´t with Untucked... I´m totally with Brooke.. Too much no sense yelling/ conflicts. Don´t buy that, all feeling forced because some of these queens wants so badly to steal the spotlight (it goes for all 4 screamy girls this week).

Also, Ru didnt asked them to name who should be in the bottom, she asked ´´Who do you think shoul leave the competition?!``. How they would expect Scarlet to name herself? We saw a couple weeks ago, queens not able to blame others for the team fail, everyone got to lip sync. I thing that Scarlet exitation on say a name (while everyone was to quick to point her out) plus her not be confrontal/fight back against Ra´Jah might have interfered on Ru/Producers decision on who should stay =_= Also, the discussion was about the ball, were the queens were supose to creat from the scratch at least one of the looks and thats the thing: Even when shes supose to create something with the fabrics/acessories, Vangie still gives the same silluete so the question is about her creativity not about what she brought to the show (and even still, I said before I said again: She was one of the queens that went in advantage, its clear she made some money/meet some designers/queens that made/gave stuff for her to go. It just seems she wasnt creative enough think on a range for her Drag).
