Excited to see how the long break has impacted the performance of all of them. Maybe Sister Sister will become a force!

Posted by: Simon. 11th February 2021, 05:39 PM

I somehow doubt it, but would be nice if she does find a personality.

Looking forward to tonight all the same, did it reveal the task?

Think it’s a Eurovision challenge - perfect with Graham Norton on

Posted by: ElectroBoy 11th February 2021, 06:14 PM

Yeah and MNEK is on there this eve too

Posted by: Liаm 11th February 2021, 06:26 PM

It's the same as the girl group challenge last time but themed around Eurovision! They're doing two versions of the same song with their own verses.

Posted by: Calum 11th February 2021, 08:13 PM

The United King Dolls that was AMAZING, enjoyed every second of their performance! Their looks were amazing, their verses were all great and they just gelled so well together.

The other group, however, were awful. Agree with Graham's comments about Ellie's runway too, there's creative drag then there's... that.

I just knew the moment Joe Black came back too that he'd be eliminated and he didn't wow me in the challenge or on the runway, which is a shame for Asttina and Cherry, because I feel either of them could have stayed and booted one of the deadweights out. Tia coming back 7 months later too and thinking that look she came out wearing was elevated, gurl.

Posted by: Herbs 11th February 2021, 08:19 PM

I will write more later but I am fuuuuuming that Lawrence won another challenge - he was weaker than Sister and Tia in the Eurovision performance and in my opinion Tia is the only one who had a weaker runway look

Posted by: George.keh 11th February 2021, 08:19 PM

would be a bit weird if they’d have said this team is the winner!!! But not you the team leader Lawrence

Posted by: Herbs 11th February 2021, 08:22 PM

Bimini was robbed!

Posted by: Chemistry 11th February 2021, 08:31 PM

This show is turning into a JOKE.

How the heck did Lawrence win. Again. With that performance and that outfit.. Bimini was the clear stand-out and winner in the challenge, she served pop queen realness and Tayce and A'Whora were also fantastic. But wow. It should have been Bimini only. Ru does everything in his power to let Lawrence win everything.

Also very disappointed to see Tia in the lip sync, she served the whole performance, yet Ellie being save again with that costume outfit. I don't know what they were on, but it was easily the worst on the stage. And poor Joe Black. It's safe to show Ru doesn't understand a thing about British drag Who cares about an H&M dress, making a fuss out of nothing. The performance was fun, she stood out and the runway was freaking brilliant.

joe black hi how are ya

Posted by: b 11th February 2021, 08:46 PM

United King Dolls were absolutely incredible. They looked like a proper girl group. I loved the chorus choreo where they bent over touching each other's butts, it was genius and helped tremendously. Such great chemistry and cohesion.

Bimini was a clear standout but I'm not mad they all won at all honestly.

Posted by: LMLou 11th February 2021, 08:56 PM

Great challenge and runway again this week. I do feel like Tayce and Bimini were the best by quite a bit though
I'm just a bit confused at just how harsh some of the critiques were. I don't rememberers the judges every putting much focus at all on performance outfits, it seemed like for the loosing group they cared more about some outfits ( that the girls probably thought were just gonna be for a mini challenge or something) than they did about the writing, lip-syncing and dancing?

It also feels like they keep on building up to a Tia redemption storyline and then it just doesn't happen lol. I'm still thinking she's going to outlast Ellie and Sister though

Posted by: JackTheeStallion 11th February 2021, 08:56 PM

I truly see no redeeming qualities in Sister and I just can't fathom why she's still there, it's really quite something to be so inherently unlikeable yet SO forgettable at the same time I'm really annoyed we've lost a lot of really good queens to HER.

Aside from that, Joe coming back was pointless. I never felt that they had THAT much more to give and tonight proved it. It would've been nice to have seen Assttina back who would've SHONE in this challenge!

UK Dolls were fantastic and gave such good energy, Bimini should have had a solo win for that she really killed it and is fast becoming my absolute favourite an absolute STAR.

Posted by: blacksquare 11th February 2021, 09:04 PM

What an iconic episode.

I don’t even know where to start.

Posted by: Liаm 11th February 2021, 09:19 PM

Tia being in the lipsync was a JOKE, I thought she was better than Lawrence in the performance, and certainly the best out of her group! I'm kind of baffled as to how Ellie wasn't in the bottom, I liked her seagull look as I thought it was a really different way of looking at the runway and her make-up for it was amazing, but her energy in the performance was just non-existent. Tbf the whole of Bananadrama was kinda shit as a whole product though, the choreo was awful and as the judges said, it was like 4 of them had individually heard the song and were given the choreo and happened to be on stage at the time same. Tia and Sister on their parts did fine but when the challenge is the group, you were just drawn to how "go girl give us nothing" the choreo was and that reflected on the group as a whole. I'm not mad at Joe going though, she is very talented but I feel like she just isn't necessarily fit for the paradigm in which Drag Race places the queens.

I'd have given the win to Bimini if it was solo, but that group all did pretty well. Lawrence was definitely weaker, including on the runway, but that little injection of camp was fun and it's not like she ruined the whole performance. It was pretty close between Bimini, A'whora and Tayce for me and they couldn't go "you all win but Lawrence didn't". In a challenge like this, the fact that the group worked so well together, brought out each individual strength the queens have, put effort into a choreo and a rounded performance, matters a lot especially when you look at how disconnected the other group was, I think a group win makes sense so I'm not mad at it really.

The critiques were a bit weird, I know that Tia's outfit was awful but it feels like Ru is holding them to what she thinks drag SHOULD be, from a baseline of American queens, at times, rather than being appreciative of what British drag is.

Posted by: Lukuzz 11th February 2021, 09:23 PM

The united kingdolls definitely deserved the win. I loved all 4s verses and all 4 on the runway. I would have had Bimini win though I think she shone the most.

Out of the other group surprisingly I did think Sister Sister did the best. I also love Joe's runway and her verse so personally I'd have had Tia and Ellie in the bottom 2 with Ellie going but was obvious Joe was gonna go again

Posted by: Cremey 11th February 2021, 09:23 PM

BIMINI! Incredible.
I could watch that performance on repeat.

Her, A’Whora and Tayce all absolutely killed it.

Tia’s runway was awful but I agree she shouldn’t have been in the bottom two.
Glad she managed to win with the lip sync but she really needs to up her runway looks.

Posted by: Liаm 11th February 2021, 09:36 PM

Not to do with this episode, but Snatch Game characters are these apparently if anyone wants to know, I just had to look bc SG is always my fave

Tayce - Naomi Campbell
Bimini - Katie Price
Tia - Tracy Beaker
Lawrence - Miriam Margoyles
Sister Sister - Charity Shop Sue
A'whora - Vicky Pollard
Ellie - unknown, wasn't mentioned in the video oops forgettable icon

Absolutely living for Bimini's

Posted by: Doug 11th February 2021, 09:37 PM

I agree that Bimini should have had that solo win for the amount of energy in that performance. A’Whora had the better runway out of the group and also gave a lot as did Tayce but it did seem like another reason to be like “go on Lawrence you have another one x”. The group was definitely better on the whole than the other group though - you could just tell from the recording sessions who things were not going to go as they seem.

I get why they wanted someone to take Veronica’s place but Joe was not going to be the right choice in terms of competition - her drag was just not right for the show even if she is obviously good at what she does. It should have been Asttina for sure. Oh well.

Out of her group though I’m glad Ellie was safe as her runway definitely deserved it, even if in the performance she held back a bit but I put that down to her wanting to go further with the choreo and the others being like “well we’re old we’re not doing that”. Sister gave a fair amount but her runway was outclassed by A’whora’s, not to mention her attitude is starting to show a hell of a lot of cracks. Tia’s runway though... good god hun.

Posted by: Doug 11th February 2021, 09:42 PM

Bimini or A’Whora are winning that one then, can see the latter potentially slipping up but we’ll see. Tayce will have to do a lot to try and make her funny though as Shea’s attempt was adequate but not exactly brilliant.

Posted by: Cremey 11th February 2021, 09:45 PM

Love that hardly anyone’s even mentioned Veronica leaving!
So much happened in that episode I’d almost forgotten about it.
Hoping she doesn’t actually make a return next season 🙃

Posted by: Liаm 11th February 2021, 09:49 PM

Same tbh oops, she's just pretty basic for me. Last week's Monster look was good but then most other stuff she did was flat out forgettable, basic at best, and I couldn't take to her personality at all. I can't see that she had much more to give personally.

Posted by: Calum 11th February 2021, 09:53 PM

If Veronica does come back I reckon there'd be serious Shangela vibes - 'oh it's her from season 2 again'

Posted by: ElectroBoy 11th February 2021, 09:54 PM

Ugh can’t bare Sister Sister

Oddly starting to love Lawrence... however my heart still lays with Bimini

So glad Tia stayed, bit of a pointless ep really

Posted by: Cameron 11th February 2021, 10:08 PM

Lmao... So Joe gets ridiculed for a dress from H & M but then Asttina wins with a jacket from Asos... What?

Posted by: Envoirment 11th February 2021, 10:14 PM

I was honestly sad to see Veronica not come back. If she takes up the offer to return on season 3, I can see her killing it tbh.

The UKDs killed this challenge. I was honestly gutted Bimini didn't get the solo win - she KILLED it! Also, is Lawrence the first person to win 3 challenges in a row? Not that I think she necessarily deserved this win, but I can see why they gave it to the whole group (like last season's Frock Destroyers).

Ellie should've been bottom 2 with Joe. I thought Tia did well in the challenge and didn't expect her to get judged so heavily on her basic runway. Although I understand Ru's frustration at Tia.

Losing Joe is no real loss. I did enjoy her runway though.

Sister Sister definitely seems to have come out of her shell a bit more. Perhaps that'll work in her favour.

I'm hoping Bimini can keep up the momentum as she's now been high-high-win the last few weeks. I would love her to win two in a row. Tbh I'm team Bimini for the crown now.

Posted by: Liаm 11th February 2021, 10:20 PM

Envy Peru on Drag Race Holland won 3 in a row! Angele Anang from Drag Race Thailand also got 5 in a row kind of,but there's a runway and main challenge winner some weeks (if the challenge isn't runway/design based) so she won makeover, improv acting, talk show, design and then also won the runway on Snatch Game but not the actual challenge But I'd still say she got 4 in a row with one shared win. There's Alaska, DeLa (4 in a row) and Manila in All Stars but ofc you can argue whether winning vs top 2 but losing the lipsync is a true "win" I guess.

Legit I mean both are fine, because drag shouldn't be measured by the money spent on it and in both cases, whilst Asstina's jacket was basic, there was an idea behind each look.

Posted by: RobBot MBE 11th February 2021, 10:20 PM

WHAT AN EPISODE!

One of the best in Drag Race history, I gasped about 15 times.

Posted by: Cameron 11th February 2021, 10:30 PM

Also, not really understanding everyone randomly hating Lawrence though? It's such a Buzzjack thing to hate someone doing well on the first few episodes of Drag Race to be 'controversial'

Posted by: RobBot MBE 11th February 2021, 10:40 PM

I agree with this! He was in no way the best this week, but the whole group one last year too, it's not some big conspiracy for him Such a loveable character in my eyes.

Posted by: RobBot MBE 11th February 2021, 10:42 PM

also

Posted by: ClaudiaKinkleman 11th February 2021, 10:44 PM

What a brilliant episode! I have to agree with the winning team and am glad they were all rewarded for their efforts (ala the Frock Destroyers last season). Either Tayce or Bimini would have won had the girls been judged individually as they really did excel the most. I don’t however think that Bananadrama did *that* bad, Sister x2 was the clear standout of the group for me. Speaking of Sister x2... it was nice to see her show up this week!

I’m glad we got see another dose of Joe but gosh... was this the worst week for her to be brought back on. Literally ANY other challenge could have been something she performed well in; Asttina (and even Cherry tbh) would have most likely stayed if they had been brought back instead.

The bottom two was correct, Tia had a good verse but a DREADFUL runway. Tayce, Bimini, Joe and A’Whora had the best garments, and even Sister x2’s outfit would have seemed better had it not been ever-so-slightly upstaged by A’Whora’s. Until Snatch Game!

Posted by: JosephStyles 11th February 2021, 10:52 PM

Such a great episode, this series is superb so far (and far outdoing US 13 for me ). United Kingdolls winning was an easy choice, all four of them brought it and the shared win was deserved. If judged individually, Bimini would have deserved it but I'm glad they were consistent with the adjacent challenge last year in rewarding the whole group. I actually love all four of the Kingdolls group, A'Whora's done a huge 180 the past two weeks and I enjoyed Tayce much more this episode too. Those four + Tia

I thought the Bananadrama performance was actually decent still, the runway looks somewhat less so. I really dislike Sister Sister and hope to see the back of her soon. Didn't overly care for Joe at the start and same again now, definitely pleased Tia won the lipsync (shame she was there, I understand for the runway look but I thought she was incredible in the performance!)

Posted by: Liаm 11th February 2021, 10:58 PM

I honestly don't believe for a SECOND that Sister wasn't a bit inspired by A'whora, huge co-incidence if not as it wasn't just the same concept it was pretty much the same look but a worse version Maybe it was an unconscious "I remember the idea but not where from, I'm doing it" kinda thing idk

Posted by: Klumzee Iman 11th February 2021, 11:19 PM

Another fantastic episode! Possibly one of the best Drag Race seasons ever? The midway break has really helped as another 'twist' to the show.

I'm a bit gutted for Veronica as I didn't feel it was her time to go just yet, and she's back for season three probably so we'll see more of her than most! She'll be fine.

Loved the challenge! UK Dolls were excellent and cohesive so I can't begrudge all of them winning! People are only mad because Lawrence has been given the win each time! She'd be high otherwise and probably we'd be shouting she'd been robbed if roles were reversed! For me Tayce and Bimini were the best in the challenge and A'whora had the best runway. I have a feeling those four could be our top four by the end unless we get any surprise dark horses like Crystal Methyd.

Sister did the best she has done so far this week but such an unlikeable personality! She's never given the limelight in a positive way so far and the way she spoke to A'whora about their clash was very very defensive and almost manipulative? Twisting her words in plain sight. She might be doing alright in the competition but she's gonna be everyone's least favourite after the show so she's screwed herself here!

I agreed with the judging as Tia's runway was really awful imo and I do agree with the comments, it felt like a bit of a regression after her Medusa look last week! I believe her when she says she has better looks though so I think she's survived this week and she should be good in Snatch Game so she'll be fine. Ellie's seagull look is kinda so bad it's good? It reminds me of Kennedy's roadkill zombie thing, you can't take your eyes off it! Agreed with all her critiques and she performed well!

I knew Joe Black was going as soon as they were doing the whole 'cigar' thing. They were doing a Kahmora! I think this decision was fairer although felt kinda unnecessary and hypocritical to blow up about a high-street dress when another high street piece of clothing won the first challenge? I knew they'd pick Joe to come back but sadly I think Joe does Joe best and is too much for Ru to warm too! I'd have loved to see Cherry return though, she definitely could've knocked a few of the other girls out I feel with a second chance!

Posted by: lewwisha iman ✖ 11th February 2021, 11:29 PM

What a great episode! Lots of natural drama and Ru REALLY off his meds for this one. He's drinking that caffeine and coming off the codeine! I think this one was Bimini's to win, what an enchanting performance and I'd like to think that although it was a group win, that she definitely was the winner of winners! UKD had such a good and solid performance, genuinely enjoyed each other and they all looked great! Really liked all of their runway looks too. Deserved on all fronts!

I would say it's such a shame that Tia's REALLY good performance was downplayed by her being the standout of a failing group, only worsened by the runway which was so confusing and was very "trying to fit a duvet cover" chic. It gave her another chance to do another funny and charismatic lipsync so I'm glad we at least got to see that! I am worried for her though - her personality has got her so far but if she doesn't do a good look next week, she'll put herself out of contention for that crown soon enough! Sister doing really well in the challenge and I thought her runway was nice, but her attitude is HORRIBLE. She's either arguing, acting blasé or being above it all - she just comes off as smug, smarmy and snippy. She hasn't picked up a casual fanbase on social media and you can see why!

Shame to see Joe Black go BUT she can't really do anything but what she brings - she does it very well but it doesn't budge even for a competition! I just don't think she has the capability to put herself in other situations and it really showed. It's a shame as I think Cherry (and Veronica if she was still around) could've really done something in this challenge!

Snatch Game next week <3

Posted by: jakewild 12th February 2021, 12:25 AM

the winners' bing bang bong was just amazing

they all shone equally but I just couldn't take my eyes of Bimini throughout <3

STOP

Posted by: Ramz 12th February 2021, 12:26 AM

Such a fun challenge this week and the song was so good! Not quite “Break Up (Bye Bye)” level of epic but still such a highlight!

Obvious winners though I didn’t like how the show edited Bananadrama to be so much worse than they were, they made it look like the judges hated it which was massively undeserved.

From the United Kingdolls I’d have gave the win to Tayce, especially since she choreographed it so well. I don’t agree at all with all 4 winning when there were clear stand outs in Tayce and Bimini and the a clear weaker member in Lawrence. When the Frock Destroyers won its cause the were completely on the same level and while this group killed it it just didn’t quite match up in the same way. Also for Lawrence to win yet again on one of her weaker performances and her worst runway I feel just kind of invalidates what could have been a stand out first win for Tayce or Bimini.

I felt the losing team got a rough go of it, cues there was issues but found it ridiculous the way Ru blew up at them and it made me uncomfortable. Yes it had its issues but it was hardly a car crash of a performance in any ways. I loved Tia and Ellie’s verses so it was a shame one of them had to be in the bottom two though I would have probably put Ellie there, don’t think her runway was all that good.

A shame for Joe to come back just for that but it would have felt wrong for anyone else to go. I do wonder who would have left had Veronica still been in as I definitely think she’d have stayed and possibly done quite well.

Posted by: J00prstar 12th February 2021, 01:57 AM

Holy crap... for me this episode had absolutely everything.

10/10 for me and THE GAGGERY of this season

A returning queen! A queen quitting and another withdrawing! A four-way win. A queen winning three episodes in a row!

And the challenge performance was such a hot mess on both sides.

And Sister Sister just continues to be dreadful PLUS was a dickhead this episode.

And I was dying laughing every time Ellie Diamond in that fvcking seagull outfit was onscreen omg I thought it was AWFUL

Plus Ru's rant & seeming the most human she has for years. Really epic episode.

Posted by: J00prstar 12th February 2021, 02:04 AM

And Tia was just EVERYTHING this episode, iconically good AND iconically bad. I gasped at how awful her runway was after 7 months to rework.

Also whatever work Bimimi & Sister had had done it did not come across well on tv. They looked like aliens!

Posted by: Addy! 12th February 2021, 02:11 AM

UKD really smashed it so well done but Tayce deserved to be the only winner to be quiet frankly!!

EDIT:

Actually now I have to agree with most of you...this was a group challenge so it was only fair for all of them to share the win (as much as some of us think there have been too many RuPeter badges for Lawrence already )

Posted by: my limbsey 12th February 2021, 08:03 AM

Honestly it's baffling me as well, idk why people are so raging that she won this week because it wasn't like it was a solo win it was the whole team??? It's not like they were the worst bunch either I do agree that Bimini was the standout though and if it was a solo win then it would be hers, Lawrence isn't a dancer so there'd be no surprise in her losing that challenge but I think she did well considering, her logic in picking the members of her team was spot on and really paid off, they all did a great job

As for the other team I was surprised Ellie wasn't in the bottom because her performance was very bland and then that runway... It literally could have been any of them but I did think Tia's rap would have saved her as it was good. Sister sister is my least favourite right now like how is she even still here?! Her runway was only half decent because she clearly copied awhora's concept but even Joe's outfit was better, he was kinda shite in the performance though but I would have had Ellie and Sister I'm the bottom.

I was low-key rooting for Tia up until this episode because she was coming across quite down to earth and funny, she knows she's one of the weakest in the group but she's taking that and running with it however we're like half way through the competition now and she's still not upped her game, she was showing signs of doing it with last week's runway so you'd think after 7 months she'd have improved more than she has. I'm getting a bit bored of it now but what's really putting me off her is this kinda nasty streak she's starting to show with some of her comments, especially towards Lawrence. That one where she said something along the lines of "what's Lawrence going to do when they all wear bikinis" clearly taking a low-blow and shaming her for being bigger, that's never funny, especially when they'd just come out of lockdown and Lawrence even said to Bimini about him struggling mentally with it and stress eating etc. I hate how Tia is now doing what Sister did and is cutting him off any time he tries to speak but making it look like Lawrence is just trying to be the loudest voice in the room - the power of editing can be blamed for that as well I suppose.

I'm looking forward to snatch game though, I think it's probably going to be between Bimini and Lawrence as the front runners but seeing the characters Tia could also be quite funny. I think Ellie will probably go and Tace could be in trouble too but with any luck sister will bomb harder than anyone and will have no choice but to go home x

Posted by: Herbs 12th February 2021, 08:26 AM

My main issues with Lawrence being given a joint win are:
* Their previous wins were deserved. Lawrence is a talent and in the weeks she won, in my opinion, she was either high or top
* She was the weak link of the group and her runway look was poor (if she didn’t have the headpiece I wouldn’t know what she was supposed to be)
* Tayce or Bimini deserved to be called out as an individual winner - the gap between them and Lawrence was huge
* Tia/Sister gave better performances and in my opinion Sister’s runway was better than Lawrence’s

Based on all the above - it just feels like a poor excuse for a win.

I actually think Lawrence will be at risk in future challenges now - she said she did nothing during lockdown and this challenge highlighted that she had to rely on others to do well

Posted by: b 12th February 2021, 08:29 AM

The robot look was indeed very basic and she won that episode because she faded into the background for sure indeed yes girl okurrr

Posted by: my limbsey 12th February 2021, 08:48 AM

I don't think Lawrence's runway was the worst at all! She has her own style and I like that she's able to work it into whatever the category may be.

I don't think she's at risk, I think she'll definitely make top three but whether she wins or not I'm not sure, it could be Bimini's for the taking. I think the UK Dolls will be the top four. It's not like she chose not to do drag in 7 months she literally had no other choice but pretty much all of them will be in the same boat right? Her performances largely come from her personality so I'm not worried really and she makes her own outfits etc so I imagine she'll still be going with whatever she had planned before the break. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, it just so happens that this week didn't really play to Lawrence's strengths but she's won multiple challenges already even without this. Snatch game will be up her street as well and I don't imagine we'll get another singing/dancing episode before the final. She is a great performer though so even if she has to lip sync it's not set in stone that she'll lose it!

Posted by: Liаm 12th February 2021, 08:53 AM

That’s why I said most

Posted by: Herbs 12th February 2021, 08:53 AM

Tia’s was the worst runway look (by far) and I agree Lawrence has been a great performer up to this point.

As for the lockdown thing - other queens talked about practicing/fine-tuning their act whilst away. It did not sound like Lawrence did that.

I actually would like to see Lawrence top 3 - I just think her 3rd win in a row was very undeserved, when the 3 queens she shared it with were much better than her

Posted by: Cremey 12th February 2021, 09:02 AM

Just listening to the United Kingdolls’ version again and omg Tayce’s Fatman Scoop adlibs hahaha.
Perfect.

Posted by: my limbsey 12th February 2021, 09:04 AM

I think they all played their part in making the team the best it could've been in fairness so I think to say one didn't deserve it over the rest of them is a bit much, even if there was a standout in the performance, it takes more than just a good verse/dance to bring it all together well. If it was a solo win it might have even been tayce or Bimini so I guess it's easier just to reward the whole team.

I mean Lawrence probably did do live streams and bits of drag at home when she could like everyone else too, all she was meaning when she said she hadn't done drag was that she hadn't done a performance, everywhere's shut, we weren't allowed out except for essential purposes so unless she went in full drag for a trip to Tesco there wasn't gonna be a chance for her to do it

Posted by: b 12th February 2021, 09:39 AM

i don't understand this Lawrence hate. I could swear everyone loved her at the very beginning before she started slaying?? Yeah she can come across as a tiny bit arrogant but GURL she's like the funniest of them all. Apart from Tia of course. Tia has more charisma than half of the cast put together

Posted by: Herbs 12th February 2021, 09:42 AM

I personally do not hate Lawrence - out of all the queens left she is in my top 3.

In this challenge only, in my opinion, she did not deserve to be in the top with Tayce/Bimini

Posted by: my limbsey 12th February 2021, 09:50 AM

maybe not hate but a lot of people are being over-critical over her or because she's continually doing well people seem to be using that as a reason to dislike her.

you didn't see baga getting these sort of comments and she's far less funny and generally looks trashy af

Posted by: Cremey 12th February 2021, 09:55 AM

I’ve never warmed to Lawrence, I just find her and her style of humour really annoying. It reminds me of when everyone loved Nina West and I just...didn’t.

She’s really polished though, I can appreciate her being really talented but she’s far from my favourite in the series. Good for her doing so consistently well though. Ha, agreed about Baga, some of her looks were tragic but she didn’t get the same comments as far as I remember.

Posted by: Herbs 12th February 2021, 09:57 AM

Lawrence is definitely better than Baga - if Baga was on this season I don’t think she’d place as high

I absolutely loved Lawrence in the first few weeks, but I am just getting a bit tired of her, as she seems to be a one-trick pony and it's not helping the clear favourism Ru is showing (I know that's obviously not her fault ofcourse). It just seems to same every week, and then winning and winning when there are stronger people out there. I am definitely not saying I dislike her, she is very funny, and still deserves to be here.

I think Lawrence is great! I think partly it might depend on if you know someone like her.

I find that like... not aiming this at anyone here specifically, because I don't mean that, but in general I find that English people have a lower barrier for what's 'rude' or inappropriate, and Lawrence isn't being edited around that expectation. Yeah, she swears a lot, but that's because people do where she's from, it's not actually haughty or aggressive in context, that's just how she's used to everyone talking.

As for 3 wins in a row, yes, it is a lot, but on the other hand, it would also be unrealistic to artificially deny her legitimate wins just because of making track record balanced. Baga won consecutive weeks in UKS1 and so did at least to my recollection Gigi, Jaida and Eureka.

It’s clear Lawrence was not the strongest in the team this week BUT given he went into it saying ‘fml this isn’t my thing’, he really stepped up to the bar. Choreo was there, performance was always on and drawing the eye, she took her weaknesses and focussed on her strength with a SELL SELL SELL approach. Other people had better verses, and not as good performances. They all brought something tho the table and had different strengths. Would it have been unfair if she was given the win solo? Yes. Was it a group performance where they all pulled their weight? Yes. I’m not mad.
But I agree if it had just been one, Bimini.

For me, Tia had the best verse of all and despite the runway should have been safe.
Thought Sister is getting nowhere near enough credit, the performance standout of group two for me, upped her game and looked stun.

Ellie v Joe in my opinion, from the neck down I didn’t enjoy Ellie’s seagull. But ultimately glad it was a one in one out and the one was the same person.

For me, and I've said this before, I just find Lawrence quite predictable. Not denying she's funny, I'm denying her wins (although I thought A'whora was better last week, that's just personal taste), I just think her humour whilst she is very quick witted and makes me laugh, is quite predictable. You kind of know what you're getting and that's fine but she just isn't my favourite because of that.

But then Bimini has my heart I soon will have no time for anybody else x

I really like everything about Lawrence except for her performances in most of the challenges. I just expect a lot from her because she is so naturally charismatic and humorous, but I don't think she's been completely delivering in the challenges themselves.

Posted by: J00prstar 12th February 2021, 11:27 PM

I think I kinda agree with that. There's been no challenge win I feel she's dominated. She's taken wins on average of challenge + runway to push her over the top.

Lawrence has totally deserved her wins imo. The fact that other queens also did well (e.g. A'Whora and Bimini in Who Wore It Best), doesn't mean Lawrence deserved any less. However, I do think Ru has been favouring her over the other girls quite a bit. Hopefully more queens will be given the chance to stand out as two of the queens to have won a challenge have already gone home.

Whilst the right track won... Is it too much to ask, for one of these groups in these sorta challenges to decide they're gonna write some verses that actually ~relate~ to the song? 🙈

The verses are literally ALWAYS 'this is verse about me, in case you haven't been watching the show...', regardless of the chorus!

(and yes, I'm fully aware that "bing bang bong, sing sang song" doesn't really have any substance... But they coulda thought "let's write some funny verses about cheering someone up" or something... 🤣)
