July 1Jul 1 The design challenge being basically more about comedy is the one thing where I do think it felt like they really wanted to make sure Ginger got through, but tbh I think her and Daya had the best looks anyway and all the comedy part did was probably take time away from the queens being able to make a better garment as they had to allow time to come up with the story as well rather than just sewing and making. Especially as there was a country girl group challenge which was mostly comedy tinged and an improv challenge, they could have just done a straight design challenge quite easily. Or really it could have been a Ball since bracket 1 had a makeover and bracket 2 had unconventional design so we had all types of look challenge on the season.
July 1Jul 1 Honestly as a spoilerina the original tea had been that Cynthia qualified by default and undeservedly, but for me I think she truly belonged in the top at least one episode of the three and maybe 2?! She really levelled up from her first season.It's Ginger that didn't get any better for me. She better really show improvement in the merge episodes or I'm going to be really annoyed she just sashayed back in to bring the same old same old. I haven't been impressed with any of her runway looks so far and I know this time she got a stipend too.
July 4Jul 4 If I say neither Mistress or Cynthia deserved bottom 2 💀 Cynthia was lowkey a Lexi high for me that was so hysterically bad. I think I lighted more at her than anyone bar Ginger although it was terrible. I’d rather have a terribly bad hysterical Snatch Game than a boring safe one and at least it was memorable.WIN GingerHIGH Jorgeous, BoscoYellowsafe/Lexi high CynthiaLOW MistressBTM Aja, DayaLydia wasn’t great either but at least she tried to make somewhat of a character with the accent even if it made no sense and wasn’t funny at all. If you told me Daya Betty would be pushed and Cynthia kind of robbed even a month ago I’d have laughed.The lipsync was fine, the spoilers said that it was terrible and that Mistress forgot the words and Cynthia was just so bad that Mistress got to stay anyway lol
July 4Jul 4 Mistress was the worst imo, just loud and obnoxious not funny at all. I would have put Aja in the bottom over Cynthia who was still funny just in the wrong way (at least she stayed in character unlike Lexi last season).Lydia has quickly become my fave Drag Race queen so can do no wrong in my eyes. The mug is always on point and I loved the runway look too.Ginger and Jorgeous were the correct top 2 for sure. Edited July 4Jul 4 by Frenchie

July 4Jul 4 Production hate Cynthia I swear She literally got more laughs from Rupaul than pretty much everyone except Ginger - she should've been safe. So bad it was good. Although I do feel that if her runway/reveal was better she would've been safe.Mistress bottom 2 was the right call. The other person was probably Aja. Although Daya/Lydia could've been there too. I want to say Irene should've been high! I thought she did really well despite the limited screen time. I would've went with:Win: GingerHigh: Jorgeous & Irene Safe: Bosco & CynthiaLow: Daya & LydiaBottom 2: Mistress & AjaMistress rightfully winning the lip sync, although wasn't a big fan of the song choice for it.
July 4Jul 4 What did Daya do this episode exactly? Shocked she escaped not just the bottom two but the bottom entirely.Very mediocre Snatch Game, as per. Ginger was the quickest and had the best characterisation, but Irene had my biggest laugh (plus favourite look) and Cynthia was the funniest. 🧛♂️ Botox! Apparently ‘just make me laugh’ only applies to Lexi Love and Alyssa. Her look was heinous though.Something still feels off. The first two brackets remain supreme.(Not buying Jorgeous as a top this week, sorry, Pitbull did nothing for me, but her look was hot)
July 4Jul 4 Daya’s Jane Lycnh was worse than her Ozzy Osbourne at least with Ozzy she tried a voice and some hallmarks. This was just Daya dressed up as Sue Sylvester making surface level lesbian “””jokes””” (stretch of the word as it was just references to being a lesbian really).
July 5Jul 5 Out of all the insane fever dream things to happen this season, Cynthia being arguably kind of robbed for Snatch Game of all challenges is probably the most insane I think it’s really weird narratively as well to spend the whole episode framing Snatch Game as “just make Ru laugh” and then someone who was cracking Ru up was in the bottom and went home?I mean yeah it was terrible, but the likes of Alyssa and Lexi have set a precedent that bombing but kind of turning it out and being funny anyway shouldn’t land you in the bottom. Personally I’d rather a swing and a miss than no swing at all. Like I don’t think Aja, Daya, Lydia, or Mistress had much of a character at all, at least I suppose Lydia did an accent, it was the wrong one, but at least she did something. Same with Cynthia, because her answers were so stupid it was actually funny, and that to me is worth more than just “Jane Lynch is a lesbian :)” or “let’s just be loud and aggressive because I’m Natalie Nunn :)”

I think they didn't expect the other queens to give her so many points to make it through. Although her runway didn't help as there definitely seemed to be a weighing of the runway for the overall judging this episode
July 6Jul 6 Not Bosco being depressed about not making it to the top this week during Untucked. That’s a lot of emotions for safe :’)Irene continues to be my favourite here overall, her snatch game was great and that maid joke was incredible.But Ginger is unstoppable and I wish the production didn’t try to invent a universe in which she flops a snatch game because it just does not exist in 2025. Also interesting how they all completely forgot All Stars 2 existed with “3 for 3” win comment lolJorgeous’ runway was to die for, holyyyyyyMistress is good TV but she makes my blood boil, so unnecessarily nasty. Her picking on the only other big (pre-ozempic era) queen reads insecure above all. Edited July 6Jul 6 by pavi
July 6Jul 6 It is kind of wild how Ginger has two all time great Snatch Games with her Adele and Phyllis Diller, then a strong unquestionable win here with Reba, then her AS2 Tammy Faye is just the safest most forgettable safe.
July 9Jul 9 This was a weird episode. I'm kind of disappointed honestly.Why on earth did Mistress and Aja do those characters? Niche reality tv characters NEVER work especially when it's someone from a decade ago.I also feel like nobody got storyline? Mistress is sucking all the air out of the room of course but I want to see more from Bosco, Irene etc., even Jorgeous. This episode was all about Mistress and Ginger. Ginger is just the least interesting thing about this season, again. A suit into a wedding dress reveal runway, groundbreaking.
July 12Jul 12 That was a really great talent show! Everyone did well, even the bottom 2. I think the placements definitely had a runway element in them tonight for the judging.I thought Ginger gave the best performance, but Bosco had by far my favourite/the best runway. So can see why the win went to Bosco! Not to say Bosco didn't give a great performance too!Aja & Jorgeous were really good as well. Was surprised at the slight negative critique for Aja at times as I really enjoyed her performance and runway.Daya surprised me - really enjoyed her performance and the ending made me cringe in a good way. Irene was fun, definitely a lot better than her talent on her original season!Lydia and Mistress would be safe performances on most other talent shows. Lydia had a bit of a snag here and there but I still enjoyed her performance and her runway was great!Mistress was the weakest performance. It had some laughs and her lip sync to it was really great! I thought some of her references (such as her he/she/we/they/them/non-binary/vegan/vegetarian meme) were a little lost on the judges though. Also her runway was one of the weaker ones. Edited July 12Jul 12 by Envoirment
July 12Jul 12 Ginger or Jorgeous absolutely won that but Bosco was 3rd for me and the runway was another level so no qualms from me with her winning.Tbh I might have had Daya in the bottom over Lydia, at least Lydia did something slightly different than a typical lipsync to an original song and I don’t think Daya’s was funny or that standout. Two weeks in a row she was lucky to not be eliminated imo Mistress I do think deserved bottom, it was fine but there was a high standard and I think this is one of those numbers that would be hysterical and a gag at a show, but on a Drag Race talent show it’s not necessarily the right fit and didn’t translate fully.
July 12Jul 12 Wow there's so much debate about Bosco winning? For me she was 100% the standout. Jorgeous? She just did what she always does, worse than in AS9. Genuinely don't get the hype for her, she's not even one of the best dancers in the franchise? Worse than Kennedy, Jasmine, Coco, Nearah Nuff, Morphine, Mhiya...Kind of feel like the lipsync could've gone either way?! Lydia honey you have the potential, take a dance class and you can level that up further!

Nor did she really display any growth on being likeable so her pushing is more frustrating than Ginger's 😂I said it two weeks ago and it deserves echoing today. Daya Betty has been in 5 episodes now and hasn't excelled in ANY of them, but has never once been called out about it and I am BAFFLED.This week was entertaining but the Mistress situation feels such a shame to me. When I saw the cast for AS10, I thought she was a very likely winner because she killed her series (realistically was 2nd best, Sasha was just a clear winner). She had a character that liked to be mischievous and wasn't afraid to stir the pot, but she had the talent to back it up and she was reliably good at everything, so her bitchiness didn't make up her entire character. This time round, it's like she'd decided the role she was going to play, amped it up to 10, and let the talent flounder as a result. And the mischief, whilst it was fun in the 2nd episode of her bracket with the points steal, turned a corner into being really uncomfortable and nasty, laughing in Aja's ear and the comment about "not taking advice from someone in her situation". She'll be fine because of her YouTube series and the fact she's modelled herself out of being this agent of chaos enough that her fans will support her regardless of what she does. But, to me, she's done herself such a disservice, not just as a personality, but as a real talent.

The inverse has happened, and now I am gagged by her sailing through the competition without a smidgen of critiqueBeen waiting for something as c**t as this x

Lydia honey you have the potential, take a dance class and you can level that up further!The tea said Bosco was a contentious win, personally I’d have gone for Ginger or Bosco and could see the argument for Jorgeous. No way is it contentious, as a talent show should be it showed her brand, it was punchy, snappy, funny, everything it needed to be and she had the best runway. I can’t see who can argue against that!Also agree on Daya, she’s not been a fave fave of mine but I thought she was capable, and would really deliver, I think she did deserve the design challenge alongside Ginger but she was flat out the worst in a terrible Snatch Game for me and could easily have been bottom for the talent show and had the most egregiously pushed win of the season by far with the improv challenge. She’s not even been terrible really other than Snatch Game, just sheer mediocrity and she is capable of so much more surely?
