Kaboom 2.0

I'm so happy that Lana and Lydia did so well in the roast! Honestly I didn't like either of their runways but again, I'm so happy they got tops in the challenge, hopefully this gives them a boost on the future challenges. Onya giving mother in the werk room was lovely and what some of those sourpusses needed. I may love her even more now. I just cannot mention the names of the two sourpusses right new, their behavior was abhorrent and I really like one of them, sigh. So so happy Jewels stayed, she was a class act in the face of the attacks on her AND she didn't bring up the fact that one of the sourpusses stole her own jokes in front of the judges. LOVED when her lip sync opponent took off her headdress, leaving it on the stage and Jewels smoothly got down on the stage and KICKED that headdress off the stage like it was trash. Beautiful!

Lexi removing her earrings as she was read doing the library challenge made my day. LOL Betsey Johnson is adorable & can still do her splits! At 82!!! I thought she was also so kind to the queens. I really enjoyed seeing her again, having the queens walk the runway at the end just like a fashion show & of course Betsey doing that split. As much as I loved Jewels' runway look I felt for Lexi because I thought she had a shot of winning too. I really hope Lexi doesn't get in her head about not having a win yet & starts to spiral. I agree with Kory being sent home, she never changed her rigid aesthetic & was all talk when it came to herself.

The Rusical actually wasn't awful, which was my expectation. I agreed with the tops, bottoms and the safe queens. Personally I would've given the win to Onya but I feel like since Sam followed Michelle's directive to let us see more of who Sam is AND did such a great job, Sam was awarded the win. Goodbye, Acacia, I hope your career gets a boost from the show. Love love loved Lexi's runway. Adam Lambert is such a cutie, that voice!

Yikes. I wish I could un-watch that SG but I willingly watched it even after guessing, with last week's teaser, that it would be terrible. That may have been the worst SG ever, I thought there couldn't be a worse one than season 14 but I was wrong. I would've picked Jewels' Mrs. Bigfeet as the winner, an original concept brought to life by Jewels. I feel for Susie losing the plot re: what SG actually is. Thank gods that Alyssa Edwards was brought in to be worshipped as she should be. Besides she & Quinta Brunson making me laugh, Ru In the werk room busting the mediocre Kori's tendency to wear the same shoe style repeatedly, even walking over to grab said shoe & brandishing it as proof made me laugh too. Lana takes up space & brings nothing to this season. I feel for Crystal that she was removed from the competition yet Lana is still there. This week's Pit Stop guest is Lana's drag mother Luxx Noir London, who continues to be as delusional today as she was during her season. I know what I saw with my own eyes, ma'am, and it was not Lana excelling in anything. She's pretty & is thin. That is it.

Knowing that Charles Barkley is Sam's godfather makes me like her even more! I've said before that I like Onya but, gurl, again not admitting you did something when you clearly did is not right. I felt for Lexi and am glad she seemed to move on from it. I really don't want her to have another complete meltdown tho especially since I wouldn't trust some of the other girls to not mess with her again on purpose. Arrietty's win wasn't surprising to me, all three of her main challenge looks were fantastic. And finally Hormona is gone. I can't say I'm looking forward to this season's Snatch Game, that teaser that was shown looked...not funny.

Susie and Onya being unbothered on Untucked by the so called glamour queens' sour (Onya called it!) assessments gave me life and just makes me love those two more. For me it seems like Susie's getting that season 5 Jinkx edit and I am here for it. I thought Bruno gave the best performance in the first RDR skit with Onya a close second. LOL My bottom queens would've been Lydia, Lana and Sam for their performances alone. Delusion runs strong in the Luxx Noir family, doesn't it. The show continuing to shower praise on Hormona, leaving some of the queens seething, is so wrong but I don't mind seeing it. When the show showed Lexi's Linked In page I said no no no aloud. I really hope she doesn't get hounded online and is fired. I still like her despite her sour attitude in Untucked this week. And my God who saw little Lydia as someone who would eat up that stage during the lipsync because I surely did not. She was confident and consistent, holding Ru's gaze, while Arrierty seemed desperate and not feeling the song. I can hope but not expect that this second chance has her adjusting her attitude from now on. And no clue who the guest judge was, I had to look him up, but he seemed game and very nice.

Wow an original challenge concept. See, producers, it CAN still be done. Shade aside, I did enjoy this challenge (I still have my Now That's What I Call Music CDs in the basement). I truly thought Susie was gonna get her second win, I like Onya but would've picked Susie for the win. For me, Crystal's runway exceeded Onya's but I also liked Lexi's and Arrietty's. The less said about Joella's, the better. As someone who chose to never watch Yellowstone the show or any show by its creator, I had to look up who the guest judge was. She seems nice? I will not miss Joella, she got one Katy Perry mention out before she was shown the door. There's a fine line between confidence and delusion and for me she was Delusional.

Joella commits the two mortal sins of Michelle Visage (a bodysuit that is green,) gives a meh LSFYL & is given the shante you stay?? TF. I guess it's a small mercy she didn't mention her friendship with Katy Perry in this ep. I heart Onya but, gurl, stealing that trim? No no no. I'm also glad Lexi brought up Hormona's (I think she only mentioned being personally picked by Ru just once this ep?) use of outside materials. Fair is fair. I thought Arrietty would get that win but I'm not incensed that Sam was given the win, they to me had the two most complete opulent looking designs. I'm so sad that Lucky sashayed away, I hope she gets nothing but positive exposure and bookings because I believe we need more queens like her out there and also to help her family situation.

The more I see of Lexi the more I love her, her reaction to her sisters' applause and cheers was heartwarming. So happy she won! And THAT is how you lip sync, baby queens of the world! Lexi and Crystal gave one of the best performances, imho, of the last few seasons. I also loved Doechii's reactions and appreciation of how they slayed her song. Whoever mentioned Hormona's resemblance to Sadness from Inside Out needs an award because that's all I see now. Her constant "RuPaul chose ME" mantra got stale during the first episode and it's beyond grating now. Just leave already. Michelle looks GOOD. When the camera showed her sitting above the dunk tank my first thought was that water must be Perrier cause this queen will not be falling into tap water!

Not just the return of Lil Poundcake but a towering Lil Poundcake made my day! The reactions of the pie in the face queens were hilarious and of course Pork Chop got the chop first. I'm not a Katy Perry fan so her inclusion in the premiere eps is meh for me. That awful new song of hers just made me reminisce about the awesome Katya vs Kennedy Davenport LSFYL to Roar. I knew Susie Toot had won the lip sync when Onya Nerve, whom I now love, pointed out that Susie had caught Ru's eye as Susie pointed to her foot and started tapping it. Ru does love her some zany antics.

Queen. Mother. Icon. And now...All Star winner. So happy Alyssa was crowned winner, she is everything a queen should be & then some. It's about damn time she got her title, flowers, crown, scepter, cash prizes, all of it! We are blessed because she exists. I was also cheering for Nelly, I'm beyond excited that she will see a well deserved increase in her bookings & fees because of how great she was overall during this season. Can't wait to see her continue to get better and better and wow the world.

I too will be cheering for 2 of the 4 finalists, davidcalgary29. I was excited at the prospect of hearing some good songs but my excitement immediately turned into horror when I realized the sings comprising the set list. WTF. I heart Ru but find almost every song as not memorable. The returning queens deserved better. I actually squealed at how intensely Alyssa was following Tessa's performance, how proud she was of Tessa. Those two are adorable!

I thought Kitty made Miranda look exactly like Juno Temple in Ted Lasso to me! Kween's attitude was so stank. I may be done with her. Nelly nailed the main challenge, was praised for it by the judges & fellow queens and Kween just went nasty on her. I thought Kween did a great job with Soa, she was one of the top queens of the challenge yet she just could not take anyone else taking the spotlight from her. This is the first time I'm seeing her and the more her nastiness rears its ugly head now, the more I do not like her. I will miss Vanity, she had entertaining talking head segments.

I truly thought that Nelly was going to be declared the roast winner, she did so well! The only reason I thought Ru went with Kitty & Kween instead was that they projected more confidence. Tessa had me LOL'ing with all the cow puns while still in her cow outfit at the beginning of the ep. I'm starting to like her more & more. Farewell, Pythia, I really liked her & wish her the best in everything. Her roast note taking in her notebook made me love her even more.

Wow. Thank you, now I can blame these people for it. LOL
