April 22, 20214 yr I guess but I think that's because Gigi was always pushed so she had the confidence. In my eyes, she actually won none of the challenges she actually won. I'd give Jaida the ball (and the Las Vegas show, but she didn't make it that far for me), Jan the Rusical and Jackie the Snatch Game win. Gigi on 0 wins would've been a much less confident beast and a Widow that was actually getting rewarded instead of being put in the bottom constantly wouldn't have been so defeated and I think we'd have seen more of the fighting energy we got from that first episode.
April 22, 20214 yr Widow getting no praise for weeks on weeks when she’d actually been doing a good job is definitely what made her finish the way she did! In terms of your Canada review- I agree with most of it other than Priyanka being high for the recycled materials challenge- I thought she looked DREADFUL! It was such an oddly judged season and I actually liked all of like the top 8 and would love to see them all back but Jimbo was ROBBED
April 22, 20214 yr Author True! I think she was complacent too, like she knew she probably wouldn't be penalised too much unless she absolutely bombed but when you look at her doing badly in branding, politics, arguably makeover and one woman show too, someone who wasn't given the wins she was given (which she didn't always deserve I agree) would not have survived that! Also omg I meant Lemon for the recylced thing the copper dress thing, I didn't think Rita's whole team should have been default top
April 22, 20214 yr kiara posted her makeover looks on instagram and bitch would have won the episode!
April 22, 20214 yr Loving this Liam, the only thing I could possibly think differently is that would Trixie eliminate Thorgy over Shangela? :unsure:
April 22, 20214 yr Drag Race Canada Season 1 EPISODE 1: Eh-Leganza Extravaganza WIN - Jimbo High - Anastarzia, Rita Low - Lemon Bottom 2: Kyne, Juice Juice eliminated I loved Lemon's concept but it wasn't put together too well, I would save her from the bottom to put Kyne there though. This was Jimbo's to lose lbr. EPISODE 2: Her-itage moments WIN - Lemon High - Priyanka, Kiara Low - BOA Bottom 2: Kyne, Tynomi Kyne eliminated Wouldn't really change this, Lemon absolutely smashed it so still gets the win. EPISODE 3: Not Sorry Aboot It WIN - Lemon High - Scarlett, BOA Low - Jimbo Bottom 2: Ilona, Anastarzia Anastarzia eliminated I've said this so many times but Lemon only being safe here is INSANE, Jimbo was so so lucky to avoid being low at least and Ilona not being bottom 2 while Tynomi was despite not being that bad was also very odd. EPISODE 4: Single Use Queens WIN - Rita High - Kiara, Lemon Low - Ilona Bottom 2: Tynomi, BOA Tynomi eliminated Jimbo shouldn't really have been called out for Tynomi and Ilona not sticking up for themselves, their looks were on them not Jimbo. I do think BOA's look was worse than Ilona though so I have her bottom here. EPISODE 5: Snatch Game WIN - Jimbo High - Lemon, Scarlett Low - BOA Bottom 2: Kiara, Priyanka double shantay Honestly if ANY lipsync ever should have been a double shantay it's that. BOA's Snatch Game was worse than Pri's (all bad but Priyanka at least had SOMETHIGN there, it just didn't land) but I loved her runway, plus I couldn't deprive us of that iconic lipsync. EPISODE 6: Star Sixty-Nine WIN - Jimbo High - Scarlett, Priyanka Low - Kiara Bottom 2: BOA, Ilona BOA eliminated Again I've said before but Rita winning this is one of the most bizarre ever, I'd put her closer to low than win! Double sashay to make the numbers work again, tbh they'd both really run their course here with multiple lows and bottoms (even though I like them both, there's even more of them here). EPISODE 7: Miss Loose Jaw WIN - Lemon High - Jimbo Low - Priyanka Bottom 2: Ilona, Kiara Ilona eliminated EPISODE 8: Makeover WIN - Priyanka High - Jimbo Low - Rita Bottom 2: Lemon, Kiara Kiara eliminated EPISODE 9: Ball WIN - Scarlett Low - Jimbo Bottom 2: Lemon, Rita Rita eliminated Finale (top 4): Jimbo (3 wins, no bottoms) Lemon (3 wins, 2 bottoms) Priyanka (1 win, 1 bottom) Scarlett (1 win, no bottoms) No hesitation I want to crown Jimbo but with a RuMix finale, I just can't see it :lol: I think Priyanka would still win here, perhaps even Lemon. I feel like Priyanka winning despite her record just made so much sense it feels wrong to mess with it. Again, not gonna post my whole thing cos it's your thread, but for comparisons sake (I've kept it as a top 3 and done no double saves just to try and stick to numbers), my final would be: Final: Jimbo (3 wins, 0 bottoms) - winning Episode 1, Episode 5 and Episode 8 Priyanka (2 wins, 2 bottoms) - winning Episode 2 and Episode 6, lip syncing in Episode 5 and 9 Scarlett (1 win, 1 bottom) - winning Episode 9, lip syncing in Episode 8
April 22, 20214 yr i know she isn't a fav but there is NO way rita wasn't making it to the finale! scarlett should have gone home makeover week
April 22, 20214 yr i know she isn't a fav but there is NO way rita wasn't making it to the finale! scarlett should have gone home makeover week Having seen Scarlett's lip sync in the final, I don't think she'd have lost to pretty much anyone on that week. I agree she should've been bottom in that clunky ass jacket though.
April 22, 20214 yr Having seen Scarlett's lip sync in the final, I don't think she'd have lost to pretty much anyone on that week. I agree she should've been bottom in that clunky ass jacket though. not even lemon? she killllled the alanis lipsync then rita wins the ball, lemon and pri are btm2 but it's a double shantay to a top 4 priyanka - 2 wins, 3 btm2 jimbo - 3 wins, 0 btm 2 rita - 2 wins, 0 btm 2 lemon - 3 wins, 2 btm 2 guess jimbo would HAVE to win then tho, even though i think priyanka deserved it (also best top 4 in the whole franchise?)
April 22, 20214 yr not even lemon? she killllled the alanis lipsync then rita wins the ball, lemon and pri are btm2 but it's a double shantay to a top 4 priyanka - 2 wins, 3 btm2 jimbo - 3 wins, 0 btm 2 rita - 2 wins, 0 btm 2 lemon - 3 wins, 2 btm 2 guess jimbo would HAVE to win then tho, even though i think priyanka deserved it (also best top 4 in the whole franchise?) I don’t think Lemon killed the Alanis lipsync at all- it was a Kenya doing Natural Woman moment all over again- it did not match the song at all despite the fact her tricks were impressive!
April 22, 20214 yr Author I LOOOOOOOVE Lemon to death but Rita ate her in that lipsync, Rita embodied it and Lemon did just a generic "oh this is the tricks I can do" kind of lipsync, by no means was it a bad lipsync performance but it wasn't it for that song. I did love Rita but I just didn't see that spark to be in the final I do with the others! Jimbo is an odd one, I just don't think she could have won with that finale but undoubtedly she did the best this season and was totally robbed. Loving this Liam, the only thing I could possibly think differently is that would Trixie eliminate Thorgy over Shangela? :unsure: Nah but for All Stars I've just kinda done what I wanted, she'd never send Thorgy home
April 22, 20214 yr im no alanis superfan but i feel like she has an inherent humour / irony (for lack of a better word!!) to her songs that lemon captured really well ! they were 2 really great and different interpretations imo
April 22, 20214 yr Author I'm gonna do one that might be a bit controversh... Drag Race 2 UK EPISODE 1: Hometown/Gay Icons WIN - Ellie Diamond High - Lawrence Chaney, Asttina Mandella Low - Tia Kofi Bottom 2: Sister Sister, Bimini Bon Boulash Sister Sister eliminated Not even me hating Sister, I just think she easily deserved bottom 2, people do a bit much on Joe's outfits week 1 but she didn't deserve bottom 2 over Sister in the slightest! Bimini would still eat Sister up in this lipsync and honestly Sister going first is not a loss. I will fight tooth and nail for the fact Ellie easily deserved this win, Asttina was a toss-up whether to be high but whilst it was basic I just think the East London look was spot on. EPISODE 2: Rats The Rusical WIN - Veronica High - Joe, Tia Low - Lawrence Bottom 2: Tayce, Cherry Cherry eliminated I don't disagree with much here, if Joe was in the Rusical I feel like she would do well, Veronica was obviously a home run as much as I am nt a fan of her, both runway and Rusical. The bottoms were definitely right, Lawrence at least was funny and played to her strengths as opposed to Tayce/Cherry who just didn't give much. Honestly almost saved Tayce just for looking so flawless that week (and every week tbf) tho x EPISODE 3: Who Wore It Best WIN - Lawrence High - Ellie, A'Whora Low - Asttina Bottom 2: Ginny and Tia Ginny eliminated I'm judging this as if it was normal, because Ellie and Lawrence genuinely were the best two where it was hard to separate them and Ellie would win any other pairing. High could have been a couple of others, but I went for A'Whora. I get why Ginny was saved in that little storyline moment, but I feel it would have been her time to go here anyway had it happened. EPISODE 4: Morning Glory WIN - A'Whora High - Tia, Bimini Low - Asttina Bottom 2: Veronica, Joe Joe eliminated I just didn't get Lawrence's win here at all, not bad but I think there was better and it was here it felt like they started just handing her wins for being Lawrence. A'whora NAILED this entirely but Tia played her part and didn't get overshadowed and Bimini supremacy begins to rise. Veronica I think should have been bottom anyway, and withoit Ginny/Sister at this point, I've put Joe down there too as I can't see a comedy improv challenge being her thing but idk EPISODE 5: UK Hun? RETURN: Joe Black (I'm thinking he would still come back over Sister as she's the only thing different here) WIN - A'whora, Bimini, Lawrence, Tayce Bottom 2: Joe Black, Ellie Diamond Joe eliminated I fail to see past Joe going again, with a dreadful girl group performance despite a good runway, I'd actually be fair and put Ellie down there, I can see Asttina doing well enough and I don't think Tia deserved it just for her runway when she was the highlight of Bananadrama imo. EPISODE 6: Snatch Game WIN - Bimini High - Tayce Low - Asttina Bottom 2: Lawrence, Tia Tia eliminated I can't see Asttina shining at Snatch Game, but it'd be hard to beat th Lawrence/Tia bottom 2 of awfulness. Wouldn't change the tops, I thought Ellie was funny so could argue another high but I think Tayce was a step above then ofc Bimini was another level entirely. Sadly still have to lose Tia here. EPISODE 7: Lockdown Supersheroes WIN - A'whora High - Ellie Bottom 2: Tayce, Asttina Asttina eliminated Wouldn't change much here, with Sister not here I've put Asttina bottom and finally succumbing, lasting longer than she did for real by quite some way. I don't think her design skills would be that great to avoid making similar mistakes to what she did in Who Wore It Best, Tayce v Asttina would be one hell of a lipsync though I'm sure! EPISODE 8: Stand Up WIN - Bimini Bottom 2: Lawrence, A'Whora double shantay Controversial putting Lawrence here but she took about half an hour to tell one punchline. A'whora I really don't even think was that bad, but the censoring did make it seem like she was, idk. Tayce could also be bottom 2 but I'm gonna use a double shantay here instead of the semi. EPISODE 9: Beastenders WIN - Bimini Bottom 2: A'whora, Ellie Ellie eliminated Ok so I love and adore Ellie, and am not a fan of Lawrence, but I definitely think A'whora should have made the final and I'd be super biased and bitter if I were to do it with Lawrence over Ellie. I'm not sure Ellie should have even been bottom 2 here, but it doesn't feel right for Tayce not to make a final with how much star power she had and imagine the final without Tayce killing it! Ellie going out with a strong run and room to grow and come back and slay All Stars feels right (which she still had in 4th in the real thing tbf). It's hard having to do an elimination here :lol: EPISODE 10: Finale 3rd/4th A'whora (3 wins, 2 bottoms), Lawrence (2 wins, 2 bottoms) Runner-up; Tayce (1 win, 2 bottoms) WINNER: Bimini (4 wins, 1 bottom) Tayce's stand-out performance i nthe final I think would see her through to the final lipsync, which in this version would be her vs Bimini. I mean Tayce would probably win lbr that but Bimini would win the season.
April 24, 20214 yr This stuff is so hard to gauge when you haven’t seen the person doing the thing, like you I would have assumed Tina would have been good at a roast... but then what she presented the week the roast aired, with the benefit of time, and the ability to review it..... EESH
April 24, 20214 yr Author This stuff is so hard to gauge when you haven’t seen the person doing the thing, like you I would have assumed Tina would have been good at a roast... but then what she presented the week the roast aired, with the benefit of time, and the ability to review it..... EESH Yeah true, it's just kinda fun anyway to think about, sometimes I just kinda go "well I've kept her long enough let's pretend she'd have been bad at xyz" :lol:
April 27, 20214 yr Author Drag Race Holland EPISODE 1: Who's Your Queen? WIN - Sederginne High -Janey, ChelseaBoy Low - Abby Bottom 2 - Megan, Roem Roem eliminated Not much change here, however Sederginne really should have won this. Abby low over Ma'Ma too as they were really harsh on her putting her there over one thing with a stunning look. EPISODE 2: Give Face Face Face WIN - Envy Peru High - Sederginne, ChelseaBoy Low - Patty Bottom 2: Abby, Megan Megan eliminated Abby's ruway here was so so basic, seeing as they seemed to prioritise the runway over the challenge I think she should have been bottom for it. Haven't changed the win here, we didn't even really see what was meant to be the main challenge :lol: EPISODE 3 WIN - Ma'Ma Queen High - Sederginne, ChelseaBoy Low - Madame Madness Bottom 2: Abby, Patty Patty eliminated Ma'Ma ATE this week, haven't changed anything really but Patty in Megan's place as Megan went the week before. EPISODE 4: Dancing Queens WIN - Sederginne High - Ma'Ma Queen Low - Janey Bottom 2: Abby, Madame Madness Abby eliminated Ma'Ma bottom for this was absolute bullshit when the guest jduge even singled her out for overcoming her nerves/not being the best dancer and did well, over her shoes on the runway? :lol: Abby on a low 3 bottoms by ep 4 would see her gone, in this fantasy Madame ate the lipsync and got her out. EPISODE 5: Snatch Game WIN - ChelseaBoy High - Envy, Janey Low - Ma'Ma Queen Bottom 2: Sederginne, Madame Madness Madame Madness eliminated With Abby gone, a bad week for Sederginne can be just a bad week, let's pretend there was a lipsync song she turned out and not one she hated and just gave up on, this was really bizarre for Sederginne. EPISODE 6: It Takes Two WIN - Envy High - Sederginne Low - Janey Bottom 2: Ma'Ma Queen, ChelseaBoy Ma'Ma eliminated Love and adore Ma'Ma but she did the worst here. Sederginne's campy style on a makeover would have been amazing but I doubt anything could have topped the pure joy of Envy and her mum :wub: EPISODE 7: Maxima - The Rusical WIN - Janey High - Envy Bottom 2: Sederginne, ChelseaBoy Double shantay Not sure how Sederginne or Chelsea would go in a Rusical, hopefully their lipsync would better than the abysmal mess we got from Abby and Ma'Ma :lol: EPISODE 8: Final WINNER: Envy Peru (2 wins, no bottoms) Runner-up: Sederginne (2 wins, 2 bottoms) 3rd/4th: ChelseaBoy (1 win, 2 bottoms)/Janey Jacké (1 win, no bottoms) Wouldn't change the winner here as Envy was incredible, Sederginne really should have made the final though!
April 27, 20214 yr I wanted to love Sederginne I really did but them old blackface pics and vids of her just made me so uncomfy- it’s a shame cos she is clearly super talented
April 27, 20214 yr Author Drag Race UK Season 1 EPISODE 1: The Royal Queens WIN - Vivienne High - Sum Ting Wong, Blu Low - Cheryl Bottom 2: Vinegar, Gothy Gothy eliminated Almost gave it to Sum but across the two looks, it had to be Viv. EPISODE 2: Downton Draggy WIN - Baga Chipz High - Vinegar, Vivienne, Sum Ting Wong Low - Cheryl Hole Bottom 2: Blu, Scaredy Scaredy eliminated MUCH BETTA speaks for itself, didn't change anything here I think they actually did it fine. EPISODE 3: Posh On A Penny WIN - Divina High - Vivienne, Crystal Low - Cheryl Bottom 2: Baga, Vinegar Vinegar eliminated How Baga escaped the bottom here is beyond me, fair enough if it was a runway for a challenge she did well in, but this runway was the challenge... Just hideous. Sum's was not that bad at all, basic but it was constructed pretty well which is half the challenge. EPISODE 4: Snatch Game WIN - Vivienne High - Baga Low - Sum Ting Wong Bottom 2: Divina, Crystal Crystal eliminated Gonna be controversial here and say Divina kinda deserved bottom 2, Sum kinda did the classic "ok impression but not funny", but at least the impression was sort of there. I know Viv and Baga bounced off each other well, but in terms of a Snatch Game, Viv was MILES ahead. EPISODE 5: Girl Group Battle Royale WIN - Baga, Blu, Divina Bottom 2: Vivienne, Sum Ting Wong Sum eliminated I'd like to think that Sum singing might mean she'd be good here, but I could see maybe a clash of her and Viv as the two singers but then the group just flounders and the storyline is that Viv takes her out. EPISODE 6: Thirsty Werk WIN - Divina High - Vivienne Low - Baga Bottom 2: Cheryl, Blu Blu eliminated I'd love to take Blu a bit further, but that was one of those really defeated weeks where you know the queen's time is up :( EPISODE 7: Family That Drags Together WIN - Cheryl High - Divina Bottom 2: Baga, Vivienne Baga eliminated Hard to say who should be bottom with Baga but Viv's was kinda boring imo. I genuinely do think looking back, Cheryl should have won that makeover. I am not the biggest Cheryl fan and didn't think I'd have her getting to the final, but there was no challenge she was actually the worst in! Doing this has made me realise I am probably a bit hard on Cheryl. EPISODE 8: Finale Winner: Divina (3 wins, 1 bottom) 2nd Vivienne (2 wins, 2 bottoms) 3rd Cheryl (1 win, 1 bottom)
April 28, 20214 yr Having just finished the A’Whora elimination episode I’m honestly stumped as to how it wasn’t Lawrence vs Ellie bottom in that episode.
