I'm honestly just as much confused as everyone else here - this is the first lipsync (for your life) in absolutely ages where I just don't understand how Ru made her mind up. Scarlet had SO much to give and Ra'Jah's fake ass bitch personality is unbearable, I'm gutted for Scarlet tbh
The challenge itself was alright, it definitely came across better than the gymnastics challenge in season 9 but the runway just wasn't memorable?! Yvie was by far the best there, but that's nothing new. I don't even remember Akeria's performance or look, so another decision that has me completely baffled |

yea scarlett has been among my least favourite of the season but she shouldnt have gone there. she knows shes not a dancer so this was never going to be her week whereas rahja has been in the bottom consistently now... yes scarlett relied on stunts but that was clever imo as she knew she wouldnt be winning that on moves alone so she did what she had to do in order to get the edge and she really should have won for that. i cant even remember rajah but scarlett cutting off her dress and unleashing confetti were absolute moments
i cant see past a yvie/brooklyn top 2 tbh, i would love vanjie to up her runway game so she could also be a contender for the final too |

The weird thing about that lip sync, is that in lip sync injustices in the past, they try to edit it to make it look like the other slayed it by focusing it on the winner more. But this was the first time I can think of where it genuinely seemed like Scarlet won it and I was totally shocked that Ru didn’t say her name.

maybe there will be a twist where scarlett comes back or something but i dont see it. thats the bad thing about it being pre-recorded there's no room to take in fan reception etc so the narrative ru wants to set is going to be all we get, i mean look at monet in all stars
 i do have a problem with the way it's edited in general tbh, like you can always tell who ru likes more because they get more airtime or there's times where the context of what some queens have said has been skewed to make them look worse than they actually are. Courtney Act is a good example of that because by nature she is very honest and direct about what she wants to say but never malicious with it and she displayed that when she was in big brother but then you look at how she was in drag race and you can tell its been manipulated to look like she's being bitchy and overcritical especially of Darienne (iirc) and they're like best friends  . Yvie could very well recieve the same treatment with how blunt and outspoken she can be but I'm glad they seem to not be doing that. I guess Silky provides enough drama and controversy without that :')

EXACTLY! like i actually thought scarlet probably came across worse in the actual unedited lipsync (u know cos she can't dance that she would've threw out some CLUNKER moves) |

To me it just comes across like Ru thought there hadn't been any shocks eliminations yet so was just like f*** it, Scarlett can go
Like I guess they couldn't gauge fan reaction, but Scarlett had a win and had done quite well in other weeks other than the random bottom 6 (which frankly should have been Honey and Ra'Jah, granted Scarlett knda messed up as the anchor) lipsync. Idk, it's just like I said the more I look at the lipsync, whilst I think Ra'Jah did do very well too to her credit, the more I can't fathom how Scarlett didn't win.

I really grew to like Scarlett and like someone else just said her Whatcha Packin is LUSH, probably the person I've seen come across best on it ever, and she had a lot going for her in the lipsync, tricks and a fire in her eyes,
But I just can't get over how messy she was in between those, she was flailing around like nobodies business while Ra'Jah was clean, hitting the beats and connected to the song. I was expecting the opposite decision but I do understand why it went this way. |

This episode just screams to me that the producers cast Scarlet with no intention of having her make it very far, but she rocked up and slayed just a little bit harder than expected. I mean I can’t find any other way to explain how she was eliminated against Ra’Jah, when IMO she did quite a way better in the lip-sync.

i just watched Whatcha Packing and have to agree with everyone else. She came across so likeable and sweet. Not that she didn't in the show but they definitely focused more to make her look a bit like a bitchy bitch villain type since Silky can't fill that role given she's winning the whole thing~

Definitely not as much as, say Silky is. Or to a lesser extent Yvie.

Scarlett almost feels perfectly edited to be an antihero underdog who would create a bit of furore with her elimination, it's cynical sure but I don't think I'd be surprised by many things in terms of RuPaul rn

Preferably AS6 to give her time to develop more, especially with the extra funding/oppotunities she'll be presented with now. |

Scarlet had such a weird edit. It's like the producers had no idea what to do with her narative.
Like if you look at say Brooke or Vanjie or Yvie, their edits scream top 6 at least, unless there's a major shock? And you have Rah'ja, who screams "could go any second now", like Mercedes did from week 1, too. Scarlet, however, I remember thinking last week she could easily go next week or make the top 4 and neither would shock me. |

So I haven't watched any Drag Race for the last 5 weeks mainly because Scarlet was one of my faves and I just could've be assed to sit through the Silky Show, Ra'Jah being her awful self and Vanjie being loud and irritating.
Have just finished this episode... Ra'Jah is just a horrific queen and given the number of bottom appearances should've automatically been given the chop unless Scarlet majorly fcuked... which she didn't... in fact she brought it! This post has been edited by ElectroBoy: May 4 2019, 09:24 AM |
