S01.E08: Mmm... A Rich International Roast

[SnapHappy]

Brace youself - the Queens are getting shady! This week RuPaul's 7 remaining Global Glamazons battle it out in an International Roast in front of judges Michelle Visage, Jamal Sims and Graham Norton. But who will slay and who will sashay away?

Vanity Shade: "Kinda ironic to send the Canadian queen home to a Canadian singer"  LOVED that! Then the smirk!  Vanity really IS the LS assassin for this season, and well earned.  I'm a big Vanity fan. 

When Alyssa is on screen, I spend so much time pausing, and rewinding just to take in every perfect, tiny thoughtful detail of her looks.  They never fail to amaze me, and I can't imagine how much time it takes her to assemble each one.  Just phenomenal.

Nehle was so funny!  And like the others, I didn't expect it.  I love how the Pizza Margherita theme keeps flowing through and she's such a good sport about it.  I haven't liked her much this season, but this was a good episode for her.

I was hoping this would be Nelly's first win. She did just as well in the roast as Kitty and Kween did, shockingly. And her look was better than theirs. So of course Ru criticizes her hair and gives the win to BOTH of the others. Shenanigans, I tell you.

If this is not a misdirect and one or (or both) of these girls wins, I will not be happy about it. Can you imagine a whole season of the bullies winning everything and the underdog not coming out on top at the end? That would suck. These would be my preferred outcomes"

1. Nelly wins
2. Vanity wins
3. Alyssa wins
4. Anyone else other than Kitty and Kween wins

Pythia didn't do well in the roast, but both her performance and her look was better than Vanity's. 

A rightful bottom two, but Vanity was slightly better in the lipsync, so as hard as it is for me to say, I guess it was Pythia's time.

I am travelling, and had to (well, chose to) miss this week's charmer. It's amazing just how predictable the eliminations have been, isn't it?

This might just the time to bring out that Snatch Game chestnut and declare "who cares!" when Ru is sitting at the finale with Kween and Kitty.

Yes I watched DR Sweden and for the life of me could not remember much of Vanity Vain but her quirks have been quite endearing this season. 

Also I found Tessa quite annoying on DR Germany but girl has been bringing it to the runways this season - quite a glow up.

Also agree that they could have given Nellehenia the win this week although Kween and Kitty were more confident in delivery. 

So bye to Pythia (for now) - I really thought she'd make it to the end but she's a bit too reserved for Ru it seems.

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.

Just catching up on this season. Ru's preference for English speaking queens that she has seen before is unmistakeable. 

Kween deserves it and is my frontrunner, it has been great to see her improvement since her first season. I hated Kitty in her season and I still find her as unlikeable. And she has the worst runways of the cast.

I prefer both Alyssa and Nellie to Kitty. Both could have one more win than they do.

Tessa, despite the win, is not memorable this season. She's not getting an edit that she'll make it to the final.

So here's hoping Kween takes the crown and if not, Nellie or Alyssa.

Anybody but Kitty. And I think she lost that lip sync.

I love punS! She was cracking me up. 

Vanity is the lip sync assassin. Sad to see Pythia go. She's one of my favorites. 

I'm glad Nelly was funny and Kitty had to eat her words a bit. The editing is making her insufferable.
