Kaboom 2.0

So happy Nymphia was crowned! I love Sapphira (or is that Slew-phira; good one, Visage) but our Banana Buddha shone just a bit brighter in the finale. Congrats, girl, and congrats to Taiwan! Also loved seeing their mommas and the other queens too. It won't surprise you to read I fast forwarded thru Jane's segment and performance, she can take her stank face and burger finger and f--- off. I saw her bodysuit performance as I fast forwarded and knew she wasn't gonna advance. STALE. And I LOVED Amanda's non reaction to Jane's performance. I also muted Ru's performance, been doing that for years. Cassandra Peterson is in icon and its always so great to see her, love love love to the dark goddess AND Sasha Colby on the same ep!

Yes! I'm so glad we got to see her shine here. She sure followed the Silky Nutmeg Ganache Method of Lipsyncing. 😀 Honestly I was so happy to see many of the queens again. Yay for Morphine & Miami representing but I really hope against hope someone talks her into saving some of that money. I do believe my fave moment is the look on Bruno's face as Morphine claps that ass In the final lipsync so hard the astronauts in the ISS heard it.

I loved Nymphia's book cover with Sapphira's next. I love Q but didn't like her cover either. As much as it annoys me I knew Q was next to sashay away, the final 3 were chosen long ago. I'm not on social media either and it saddens me to read here about Q's not nice posts. Can't wait for next episode's lipsync spectacular because I can't wait to see some of the queens I like.

Exactly and I say that as a Sapphira fan. I also like Morphine but 4 times in the bottom meant Ru wanted her gone. Those dancers sure are pretty! Either I was too tired when I watched this episode or totally misunderstood Sapphira's family resemblance runway explanation: so if she was the pageant mom shouldn't her daughter had worn the floofy sparkly dress while the mom wore the sexier shorter dress? I'm confused. Still haven't seen Untucked yet. I am beyond over the camera staying on Plane as others speak.

Yes, yes it was. I actually winced a few times. I like Morphine but she has no wins & ain't snatching the crown, my girl Sapphira is. I have zero interest in watching Jane's struggles to activate her basic humanity chip. I find her odious & don't even look at the screen when she's on it. Honestly, I only laughed once during the main challenge: the TP roll being so far away from the toilet. For me it was a meh challenge.

Y'all know I love Sapphira but I think Q did the best in the main challenge and should've won. I feel devious for wanting to see Q's freak out about it on the next ep. Morphine dismissively flicking her boob at Mhiya was everything. Mhiya flexed by tossing her cape on Morphine but there was no way she was gonna flip her way outta that elimination. Yessica Wild on the Piss Stop!!! LOVE her!!!

This! And no mention of the omission from Jamal either. I thought they all did well but for me it was Sapphira, Morphine and Mhi'ya (I know!) that excelled during the performance. I would've put Jane or Dawn up for elimination for both their performances and runway looks. Also that was one of the worst lip sync songs ever on this show. Ugh.

How Nymphia lost this runway challenge is beyond me. I like both her and Q and their designs for this runway but Nyphia's look made me gasp in awe while I only nodded in approval of Q's. Y'all know I love Sapphira, her character work on the runway, especially when Ru commented "it is break time at the Haunted Mansion" made me LOL. I also love how Sapphira is Mother to her fellow contestants, her werk room hug and support of Plasma makes me love her even more. I liked Plasma so seeing her sashay away made me sad. I still think she's way more talented than Jane. I'm wondering if by braiding the long Cher hair into two braids a la Wednesday Addams she maybe would've looked a tad more goth? Mhi'ya's growing confidence is a joy to see but I just can't see her as final 4 material. Still heart you, girl. Kaia is one nepo baby I just canNOT with.

For me Saphhira won the Snatch Game BUT I agree with the poster here that said she could've gone bigger as James Brown. That icon was always at an 11 onstage, in interviews, etc. Also I totally had flashbacks to Kennedy Davenport's Little Richard on her season's Snatch Game while watching Sapphire. Ya'll I squealed in delight and clapped my hands the second I saw Chad Michaels but then immediately thought "Miy'ah, do NOT be goaded into doing your impersonation of Cher in front of Chad, I'm not sure if Chad won't will slap you to defend Cher's honor"! I am glad Miy'ah opened herself up to portray Shaquisha (sp?) although why couldn't she just have pivoted to portraying Trina instead? I'm shy too but girl, you're on Drag Race. I will miss Xunami, I thought she was so beautiful and kind and that accent! Love love love. Wow I just realized none of the other SG impersonations made an impression on me. Wait, Nymphia's was bad. So bad.

For me Sapphira and Plasma were top 2 but I would've given the win to Sapphira for snatching the spotlight from Plasma. For me everyone else was adequate in their roles. I can't recall which judge mentioned Madeline Kahn in her role in Blazing Saddles wrt Q's performance but I thought the same thing too! I love Madeline in Blazing Saddles (and ALL her roles). Melissa McCarthy lobbing Baby Bel cheese at the queens as they're attempting to learn choreo was what must've been missing in my life because I still cackle when I picture it. And Morphine's talking head when she says (paraphrased) "give me your Baby Bel, I'll eat that cheese" was hilarious to me. I almost stopped watching Untucked because the camera either stayed on Jane or quickly moved back to her for her reactions when someone else was speaking. I guess she will be top 3 or 4 for sure with all this camera time.

I was totally waiting for Ru to tell Sapphira "and now, a warning" right after Sapphira downed her potion, followed by Sapphia replying " NOW a warning??" I SO love Death Becomes Her. So glad Q finally won. Farewell, Geneva. Danny DeVito legs. 😂

Amanda is s sweet person, I really hope she continues to mature (and learn better makeup skills, love u, girl!) as a queen post-show. I did smirk at the other groups' negative reactions to the underdog group and of course how Team Nymphia (can't even remember their group name) snatched that win. Good luck to Jane, whoever her next target is already knows what a sh-- person she is and won't stand for it.

Honestly, I've been muting Ru's performance for some years. I cannot even. Much love to SMG for being such a great (to me) guest judge. Her "I'm a mere Prinze" quip made me laugh as did her confession that she had been waiting years to use it. Adorable. I can't stop thinking of Mhi'ah's Cher/Kermit impression. I cringed at some of those Cher runway looks. I was sad to see Mirage sashay away, I heart her but girl, you need to know the words to the song if you think you might be in the bottom. I'm ok with Plasma winning but Q's Cher look was phenomenal. I also laughed when Plasma as Barbra kept singing as she moved her microphone all around her. I guess we're stuck with Jane til the end. Great. Oh btw Trixie's guest on the Pit Stop for this episode is the Mackie Doll herself, Kahmora Hall.

Thank you, davidincalgary29, for the Urkel/Stefan Urkelle comparisons. That's all I can picture now. LOL I agreed with the top 3 of the week, Q and Nymphia's looks made my jaw drop. I'm sorry to see Hershii sashay away, hopefully she will continue to grow into her own, get more gigs post-show. Jane is just Awful. Her attack on Amanda on Untucked was so weak. Looked like she expected Amanda to go full Shangela on her, Jane would then tell Amanda she needs to calm down, why is she yelling at Jane for stating an unasked opinion, etc. And Amanda basically, calmly, told Jane she doesn't care what Jane thinks. I love that no one fell for Jane's sh-- . A free Master Class in Quiet Shade was provided by Mother and winner of the first DR, Miss Bebe Zahara Benet on this week's Pit Stop. I recommend it to all.

Nymphia is Everything. Had a banana for breakfast this morning, thought of her overall loveliness and made me smile. Was it Mhi'ya that fell asleep at the DMV? LOVE. I feel ya, gurl. Jane is boring and meh.

As with every new season it's gonna take me a bit to remember their names even with the split premiere format, I can say none of the first group immediately annoyed me as in past seasons. I do like Q and Saphiria so far. Xunami seemed to me to not know who Nichelle Nichols is when Ru compared the two. I have to keep reminding myself how old OG Star Trek is and how young these contestants usually are. I like when other queens pop up during an ep, seeing Derrick was nice but I was all in on Love Connie, love her! She was hilarious and reminded me of a neighbor on my street where I grew up, from rollers to slippers to the insistence that you need the Lord to straighten you out. LOL

No mention of Ru's performance of her new song? I cringed and then muted it til it was over. Well that's over. I'm over the moon that Jimbo won the crown over the bottom tier void that is Kandy. Jessica was so robbed on the Fame Games but LaLa was my second choice to win it. I liked seeing the other queens again especially with the furry pink box shenanigans. We can only hope the next All Stars season is better than this one, right? Apologies for the blank quote above, I can't delete it.

That was the LaLa Ri experience I wanted, needed & got. Damn. Love love love her & her talking heads are the best. I'm glad we saw the other queens again, they brought some life back to the werk room. Thanks to Jimbo I will always see her whenever I come across a banana split. And where the ingredients came from. I'm honestly not looking forward to next week other than hopefully seeing Jessica or LaLa win the Fame Games. And Jimbo snatching that crown (crossed fingers, toes, eyes, hell I'll sacrifice something to ensure Jimbo's win).

Ain't that some shit. Giving the win to Kandy to guarantee her in the final two (which is more shit since other seasons have had a final three). I did not care for her family drag look, both outfits looked cheap. It was so great to see Priyanka again, I loved her on her DR season. I'm hoping next episode is Jessica, queen of our hearts, claiming the Fame Games. I know Heidi isn't eligible so we won't see her at all next week? I'm still bracing for Ru to crown her favorite if Jimbo stumbles during the final lip sync (I want to be wrong!). I cringe at DR following up recently crowning the fantastic Sasha Colby, the icon, polished, intelligent, funny, talented, with Kandy. Talk about a whomp whomp.

I have not seen that show yet, I'm actually pleased I saw her wear that outfit for the first time here, it added more of a "WTF am I seeing" aspect to that lip sync. LOL

Lordy was that lip sync insane. LOL I didn't know I needed to see Jimbo in a tight plastic-y white one piece with pregnancy belly & large butt until she skipped out wearing it. Silky didn't stand a chance. And unzipping the belly to retrieve & then toss lunchmeat at people & THEN remove the lipstick she chose from the belly w/an insane grin?!? God bless u, Jimbo. The roast was fine. I liked all the runways w/the exception of the one that came out wearing what looked like an old timey hospital's version of a white menstruation belt constructed w/whatever was found in a junk drawer. I heart Thom so I'm always happy to see him! Katya is always a welcome sight too. I'm still rooting for a Jessica or Jimbo win.

Well that lip sync outcome was enraging tho it was so great to see Nicki again. So classy of Alexis to boot LaLa right after LaLa saved her ass, succumbing to the pressure of keeping Ru's fave in the competition. I will miss LaLa's delightful talking heads & propensity to swipe makeup from the Ladies Room they use to vote. I want her to have all the success in the world! I continue to root for Jimbo & my love Jessica for the win but we should brace for Ru's fave to be crowned.

Lil Pound Cake has a piece of my heart, I love that lil bitch. I'm glad LaLa got the win, I do like her & hope this win (even tho it was truly a bad challenge) gives her more confidence. I thought Jessica did quite well in the challenge, the soft taco comment & EBT card comments were hilarious. Jimbo's finger made me feel itchy but as usual she delivered. Ru's come to Ru meeting made me roll my eyes. I like Kahanna but where was the come to Ru moment for Heidi?? The less said about the anchor dragging this season down, the better. Why should she bother changing it up if she knows she's cruising to the finale?

I am in a mood, ya'll. Like I said on a previous post in another episode thread (when Jessica won the $30K), Kandy wanted that $30K tip again & this time Ru gave it to her. Why bother even having other contestants this season if Kandy is Ru's favorite & the show is priming us all for Kandy getting crowned? Just have this season be ten hourly episodes of Kandy, no other contestants, being delusional w/Ru fawning over her. Oh wait. No one other than Kandy's fans want to see that. I know the preview for next episode shows Ru entering the werk room to referee something, maybe Kandy bellows she feels attacked/bullied by the other queens or some similar BS. We already know Ru will cradle Kandy & coo to her that everything will be fine, those other queens are just jealous of Kandy, Mama Ru will make everything better. I thought they all did very well in the Rusical, Alexis & LaLa were the tops for me. As for runway Jaymes & Kandy were the bottoms for me. Adam Shankman is darling. The stunning Angeria won that lip sync. I can't find Untucked. Any suggestions? Oh and Leland was giving me Fred from Scooby Doo vibes.

Heidi leaving makes me so sad but if she needs to sustain her emotional/mental well being, I understand. I like Alexis but her wilting under any scrutiny by her competitors, throwing Heidi under the bus, leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Kandy is The Worst in everything, I want her gone but we all know she's Ru's fave & will be at least top 3. With Heidi gone this season is Jimbo's to lose, I like some of the remaining queens (not Kandy) but they're nowhere near Jimbo's creativity. There were times I LOL'd during the challenge (Bowen & Matt were so good!) but the majority of those Ru-veal looks were soooooo bad.
