Gave such a squeal when I heard the challenge. Love anything gothic/Halloween and it's the perfect Ball theme. Ready for Gaga realness *.*

I'm so glad they're doing the ball early again so we get so many looks from everyone wub.gif It might mean we get more dud looks having so many queens in the Ball, but I just love having that many looks to get our teeth into.

Brooke and Yvie will absolutely slay this *.*

Also the looks are:

Trick or Treat
Sexy Halloween
First time in drag

The latter could be hilarious and I'm really looking forward to how they're interpreted!

The preview for this is hilarious
All the drama and dramatic music playing nd then Ra’Jah just saying “booty hole” and laughing with no context

Acting/comedy challenges are always my favourites (and Snatch Game ofc!) but Ball is nice and fun too.

First 15 minutes are out
The three looks for the ball are; trick or treater look, witch look and MILF elaganza (which is just creating a monster look)
Oop they’ve already been mentioned never mind haha

Everyone's talking about Yvie and yes she'll be in her element and it will be thrilling to see what she pulls out of the bag next, but I'm excited to see the queens whose styles are more subtle and light take on a challenge where they have to think much outside their comfort zone. Like I wanna see how someone like Plastique interprets the "monster ball"; is it going to be too ball and not enough monster, or will she Frankenstein her way through the challenge?

Also I hope Shuga will start getting more recognition - she's been taking a lot of risks (the Trump impersonation last week for example) and I would love to see them pay off.

Okay so I'd love to know how the hell Shuga was lip-syncing let alone even in the bottom, I thought her looks were great! She really is going to be that overlooked queen just because she doesn't bring any drama isn't she? Silky should have been there against Ariel. At least Brooke won though, either her or Yvie would have been good, they raised a strong point that Plastique just didn't have the same vibe.

This week episode was eh, I enjoy acting and choreo challenges much more.

Brooke was undeniably the best, so judges got the real winner this week. Ariel definitely misinterpreted the looks and deservedly went home.

And the thing about Shuga Cain, I am trying to form the words what I think about her and I can't quite formulate my opinion yet, but her first look aka Trolls was horrendous laugh.gif like no joke.

Fair elimination, yet again. After Shuga and Ra'jah are gone we're going to have a bloodbath. I'm shocked they didn't put Ra'jah in the bottom as her looks were extremely pedestrian and boring as f***

25 minutes in and Silky and Akeria have done nothing but sit on their asses without a clue running everyone else's stuff down

I've gone off Silky again

I would've had Scarlet, Yvie and Plastique as the top 3... Scarlet in particular I think was robbed of a top placing. Barring Brook Lynn's Mummy, I found the rest of her looks a little bit meh

There were quite a few misses though across the board; Ariel, Silky and Chuga... Ra'Jah and Vanjie were also really basic... like they didn't even try.

Right decision for the lip-sync though (well I mean out of the ones that were put there. Silky should've been there for sure). There was nothing we haven't seen 100 times before with Ariel... even though she got up and carried on after the fall. Shuga is just morei nteresting

I think Yvie deserved to win this one for sure, even if only due to her T-Rex (although I liked all three of her looks). Brooke was ok but definitely not a worthy winner. I find it interesting that they read Yvie for not being monstery in her final look but what was monstery about Brooke's final look?

Regarding the bottom choices I also disagree with Ru. The bottom should have been Silky instead of Shuga and Rajah should have been in the bottom 3. Shuga was at least trying, Silky's looks were SO uninspired it's tiring to see how hyped she is by the judges when she's really not all that. Big queens shouldn't be cut any slack in design challenges and runways just because they're big. Eureka and Ginger (for example) had lots of varying looks despite their size and didn't rely on body suits and gowns like Silky (and Latrice on AS4 too).

Also lol at Silky saying Plastique isn't gonna be bringing any monster looks on the runway and then doing THOSE looks lol.

Plastique ROBBED.


Brooke’s were kind of low key basic.
