June 21, 20205 yr Author I've just watched the episode and that was some bullshit. The Golden Girls room was EASILY the best of the three. It was PACKED with jokes - maybe Michelle didn't have her hearing aids in that day or something. Shea being in the bottom was wack. Blair and Mayhem being high was wack. The jungle room was BY FAR the weakest prospect and the gold one was pretty but literally relied on Mayhem and Blair just saying 'rich, expensive' over and over again. Shea, Cracker and Mariah's room was the only one with clear concept, market and character. I also feel like what the challenge was meant to be was poorly communicated. Usually in that case the solution is to go for comedy. Instead the jungle room and the gold room went for repetitive catchphrases which....apparently was what they wanted. ????
June 21, 20205 yr The challenge was just a giant mess — I didn't care for any of them. I also genuinely thought Blair and Mayhem were in the bottom. Club 96 was unintentionally hilarious for just how bad it was — this was a one-note contrived attempt at recreating it. Thankfully, Jujubee just existing is hilarious and everything she says is gold. Otherwise, this episode would have been mostly unwatchable and worthless. Edited June 21, 20205 yr by blacksquare

June 21, 20205 yr It seems like everyone has a problem with the judging this episode :lol: I agree that the Golden Gals room was clearly the best. After watching it I was thinking "oh thank God Mariah is at least safe for another week". I think Blair and Mayhem gave a better performance than Alexis and India even if there room was more basic so I would've given them the safe placements and probably Cracker the win for having the best runway of the Golden Gals. Maybe they should've just gone for an old lady room rather than a direct link to Golden Girls cause some of the critiques like "you used a Sophia line as Dorothy" and "you weren't Blanche enough" would've been invalidated. Also - the teams being decided by an off screen "random" draw that had pretty much the exact same teams as last week but put Mariah with the strongest competitors who'd she clearly leave over if in the bottom with them? I don't think Edited June 21, 20205 yr by LMLou
June 21, 20205 yr I just don't understand why they felt the need to do that challenge, when we've got She-MZ next week we didn't need a half assed acting challenge this week as well? Maybe if they just made it a design challenge, but then they'd be better off doing a design challenge for the runway rather than randomly having to make a hotel room? It was just a colossal step down from two great challenges so far. I think the judging was about right tbh, nothing landed in the Golden Gals room's advert thing but I guess not a lot landed in general :lol:
June 21, 20205 yr One of the worst challenges ever. WHERE. ARE. THE. JOKES. Everyone should have been in the bottom, or at least they should have saved those that had good runways, especially India. I didn't like Juju's looks AT ALL, I can't believe she won.
June 21, 20205 yr I don't have a problem with the judging this episode really. For me there wa only 2 people who actually made me laugh which was Jujubee and Alexis. The Golden Gals had a great concept but the jokes didn't land at all for me so I totally agree with Michelle. But Mayhem and Blair weren't much better either. I think it was the correct bottom 3 although I don't think Sheas look was 'crafty' it was beautiful and that definitely saved her for me. Personally would have got rid of India as I feel like she faded in both ep 2 and 3 and Mariah has alot more personality and obviously Shea didn't deserve to go (even though I think it's right she was bottom 3)
June 21, 20205 yr I feel this episode was only made to see Jujubee win :lol: Also... WHERE THE f*** IS SNATCH GAME?!
June 21, 20205 yr I’ve seen a lot of people agree with me on the fact that the Golden Gals was the worst! The design was awful to me, the acting and jokes was awful, Shea was the weakest and deserved bottom 3 and Mariah and India deserved bottom 3 too (although India should have gone)
June 22, 20205 yr Cracker came across so much better this episode which cannot be said about Alexis who was too confrontational. I mean she apologised already and Alexis continued to push and push. SHE is the one who is playing mind games. But.. something else happened? It wasn't related to the original Ongina thing
June 22, 20205 yr It winds me up a bit to see people say that the Gold room was 'just them saying rich'. Like, sure it was the thread but.. - '$u$$es$$$$' - Mayhem talking as the mirror - 'even Rob' / 'even Reebie' - 'tastes like chicken!' - 'don't let the goldenbugs bite... they were expensive' and more. like if you don't think those things were funny, completely fine, but to act like they just stood there saying rich is... false. There was plenty of meat on the bones. I've rewatched the episode and Jujus runway was one of the worst in absolutely years. She should have been discounted from the win for it, honestly.

June 22, 20205 yr The expensive bed bugs joke was cute but overall they were clearly trying to be too Club 96 and it showed.
June 22, 20205 yr Even Rebbie SENT me :lol: I get the criticisms but it was fine especially compared to the Golden Gals Palace. I feel this episode was only made to see Jujubee win :lol: Also... WHERE THE f*** IS SNATCH GAME?! It's the week after the next one (not spoilering bc that's not a spoiler lmao
June 22, 20205 yr I guess it will be better to have just 6 people participating in Snatch Game so could be interesting. Blair, Mayhem and India all haven't reached the SG episode in their seasons so it could be interesting. But I feel one of these will be out next week anyway so oops
June 22, 20205 yr I've never thought much of Mariah and wasn't bothered about her being in this when it was announced, but I think she's improved SO much. Genuinely thought she'd be in the top this week, her runway was great! Really don't think she deserved to go, especially over India... But yeah, agree with everyone that the entire episode was such a mess.
June 22, 20205 yr Even Rebbie SENT me :lol: I get the criticisms but it was fine especially compared to the Golden Gals Palace. I agree!
June 22, 20205 yr The expensive bed bugs joke was cute but overall they were clearly trying to be too Club 96 and it showed. I agree, it seemed very Club 96 to me. I liked the Golden Gals and really didn't think much of the other two. The whole challenge was a bit of "huh?" moment. I was devastated when Shea was in the bottom 3. There were some really weird choices made by Ru this week. Juju's runway was shocking (although I am v happy that she got her first ever win). I really think they should look at everything the queens deliver on the day as a package.
June 24, 20205 yr I've said this before but I like Drag Race Thailand's way of having a winner for the challenge and runway, it can be the same person if they have a great week but for example someone can win one but bomb the other and be bottom 2. I don't think the runway should decide the bottom 2 if someone smashed a challenge, but I always found it nice on the Thai version that someone else could get recognition if they brought it back with the runway.
