I feel like the Snatch game was too early this time. We need the best of the best there, but this …

I didnt know many stars they chose… murphy, mrs big foot, cupid, rosa parks and david lynch… but thats all. Have to idea of susie character! was disappointed to see that. maybe they should try to make it less USA oriented.

I’m just upset Onya didn’t do the Eddie laugh unless I just missed it.

Watching this season right after getting caught up on UK S6 is a whiplash. I like Susie and Jewels though.

I might be alone here but Suzie’s looks are kinda underrated. Like this week she had the best runway (in my opinion)

I just watched the episode and want to agree with you so bad even though it's been 3 months since your comment.
From the beginning and still now I don't see any of them as a winner. Maybe it has to do with their ages, like they are casting more younger queens than ever. In season 16 there were at least 3 iconic queens. In this season is really difficult to find any.4

im sorry, but some of y’all are WILD with takes like that. yes, the judging of this episode was questionable. This does not mean by any means, that this season is bad as a whole. a week ago you people were saying it was „giving season 12 vibes“ etc etc. besides, we owe it to the queens, not to just write off the season complete because some decisions the PRODUCERS made, not the Queens themselves.

I never said they were giving. I'm saying this now though. They are giving themselves a bunch of delusions like fighting for a singing part and barely able to hold a note. Lmao during rehearsal with Michelle.

my husband falling asleep is the indicator i use when a show or movie is bad. he has not missed an episode of this show since season 12 (alcoholism-related reasons) and he has fallen asleep every episode since #4 this season. he did actually stay awake for this one but only because it was so terrible lmfao. i'm living for the cringe and delusions almost each episode though!

I didn’t understand the judges finding Lexi’s flop so good it became good. It was awful to watch, reminded me of my own choking in public speaking in middle school. Would’ve been low for me
I loved the concept behind Jewels runway about the back tumor and how it held her back. So cool and relatable for me at least. But if she didn’t explain it it’s a bit hard to infer. For awhile I thought her runway was better but Onya’s runway was unique with the nail chandelier headpiece and had a very clear point of view.
I’m not sure why Kori is kept safe constantly I feel like just to set up for her being low and eliminated. The runways have all been bad with no humour

So, Crystal should absolutely still be here with her track record and how little Lana has been giving of late.
That said, unpopular opinion, but I just watched the episode and I actually do think Lana won the lip sync. I was so ready to be indignant for Crystal, but I did feel like Lana had more highs and lows in the performance and that her tricks had more impact and were at more key moments (that slow wide split especially).
Also, I heard she lost a wig and was shocked that she stayed, but in practice, the fact that she picked it up and put it right back on reminded me of Jasmine Kennedie losing a heel and just walking on her tip toes and refusing the take the other one off. The judges tend to look favorably on the ones who work through the malfunction instead of letting it stay sloppy.
On the other hand, I didn't love that she blocked Crystal and then got annoyed about it as if that's not just part of the game too, so I dunno. Wish Crystal were still around :(

Yeah, it'd be different if she never put the wig back on and Milan'd herself, but she tried to repair it

Kori King reminds me of Xunami, charismatic, charming, always safe, not going to win, but they are living their best life on the show and happy to chill in Untucked lol.

Ok wait a second....they had an episode called "Nailed It" without Nicole Byer? that has to be illegal

What kind of witchcraft coincidence had Arriety doing Cupid on the episode that aired on Valentine’s Day? There’s no way that could have been planned

Still so disappointed in Lexi. I feel like I could tell it would be horrible by how much she over-prepared on the makeup and look. No point in way overthinking a clever character choice and making a super detailed look to go out there and do nothing. Snatch games have been getting SO bad something NEEDS to be done. But I really hope it’s not cancelled, those few home runs are worth all the pain and suffering we go through. Some coaching plssss. Or just cast for comedy more. There will still be enough stinkers to make production happy I’m sure.

She seemed high - like what even was that? The voice was great, the look was great, so why did she bomb so hard and shrivel up before completing even a single question? I just don't understand how she couldn't get through a single question without second-guessing herself in the middle of her own turn. The voice and look were so good, she could have answered anything with confidence in that voice and it would have been funny.
