Definitely the most disappointing and weakest first episode from any Uk series so far and the judging was just all over the place.

Hope the rest of the series improves

Are we to expect this level of lip syncing

moving forward? Or were we just lucky? What a waste of such an iconic Charli song

Lowkey looking forward to Bones’ breakdown mid-season for not doing as well as she’d hoped. Call me a psychic I just feel this energy coming

Honestly Tayris should've been in the top over Catrin this week. Bones, Sally and Tayris... that would've been elite but oh well. Can't be too mad.

Probably correct for Pasty to go because we'd just end up with her in the bottom again next week, even if Bonnie was worse imo. Despite having a good look this week too something about Chai T Grande just isn't clicking with me. Such a nothing presence the whole episode just like last week.

Better episode this week with better judging, although agree that Tayris' look was really great too. Pasty was very green (not just the outfit) so understandable that they went first. I feel the same that Chai T is extrememly forgettable!

Why is there not really a runway song this season?? So many literally silent moments in between the terrible puns from the judges really took me out of it.

I thought Chai or Tayris could have been in the top over Catrin, but I agree Chai is pretty forgettable. Bones is also giving me absolutely nothing too, her drag is great though so I hope she shows more of her personality soon.

Judging wasn’t too far off for me, Sally was by far and away the winner and Viola/Pasty were easily the worst. Viola was incredibly unlikeable this episode, what a horrible edit She was also insufferable on Queen Of The Universe though so I am not at all surprised.

Tayris is definitely being slept on, really like her.

Much better episode. I agree with Sally winning and Bones being a close second. And as much as Pasty was fun I just don’t think she was cut out for it so was definitely her time to go

Feels strange that they're doing the girl group challenge next week with 11 of them and only splitting them in two. Surely could've waited for week 3 or 4 lmao

The judging was all over the place this week, none of the bottoms really deserved to be there. Sillexa, Bonnie, Sally and honestly even Elle deserved it over any of the 3 who actually were there, they weighted the runway to just put the ones they aren’t that arsed about in the bottom I feel. In saying that Viola is no loss lol.

I’d have maybe gone:

WIN Bones

HIGH Paige, Tayris

LOW Bonnie

BTM2 Sillexa, Sally

This season just sadly feels meh. Most of these girls feel like decent competitors who’d do ok on any other season but in this crop there’s nobody really standing out. They’re completely sleeping on Tayris and Chai while pushing Elle to high heavens as well, both of those could have had two weeks on the top by now.

Last season was always going to be difficult to top, but this is giving season three competition

They all need a few more years in the oven, and that feels especially off when there isn't a standout

What was that episode about putting Sally through with that dreadful runway and tbh also fading into the background during the girl group!? The criticism they gave to Viola was 100% more severe with Sally, that costume was it a bear a money or a mouse(who the f*** knows) was so ill fitted… ridiculous.

Only just caught up on last week's episode and while I'm certainly not crying over Viola leaving it does seem slightly odd for them to have spent so long criticising her runway while there were definitely more question marks about what Sally's actually was.

Bones and Paige very clearly wiped the floor with everyone but Tayris is such a star too and it is weird that they're just... not vibing with her at all? Nyongbella is starting to give me life too with her boost in confidence after feeling like she'd be gone week 1 or 2.

I haven't caught up, i've only watched the first ep and can't muster the enthusiasm to watch the next 3 eps. None of the cast really did anything for me, especially after Series 6 being so peak.

Maybe i'll binge them at some point, but i feel more inclined to catch up on Big Brother/ Traitors atm.

Chai has really come into her own and they are paying her DUST, like yeah she’s not the most dynamic or exciting TV but nor is basically anyone. Feasibly she could be SAFE-HIGH-HIGH-HIGH by now am I crazy?! Even the critiques don’t make any sense whatsoever, they basically told her she did really well and kept up with Catrin but just threw her in the bottom anyway, they clearly cast her as filler and now don’t know what to do when she doesn’t fulfil that role challenge wise. Nyongbella I do kind of see why she was in the bottom but nobody would have had any chance with that role and I think for someone who wasn’t that comfortable with acting it was a decent swing at it.

For me:

WIN Catrin

HIGH Bonnie and Chai or maybe Paige

LOW Elle or maybe Nyongbella

BTM Bones

ELIM Sillexa

Sillexa is barely even one note for me let alone anything more, I think this was her time to go. This is definitely teetering in season 3 teas but nothing could be THAT bad. Bones is by far the most put together queen with a high level of drag but she leaves me completely cold.

Chai really is coming into her own as the weeks go by. Guess it's just taken her a bit to warm up and come out of her shell which isn't often a luxury we're granted on Drag Race.

That challenge this week though... completely lost me. Most of it didn't even make any sense whatsoever. It's like they forgot they needed to have the standard TV show style comedy challenge for this season and hashed something together the night before. Really poor, and I don't feel anyone even had a real standout moment besides some physical comedy moments or those you'd expect to do well delivering at least something.

Oof well I finally started watching it and I legit had to skip through bits because I was so bored

Imo Nyongbella was safe as fvck in this challenge and did not deserve to be thrown in the bottom for no reason. Same for Chai T

My clear bottom 3 this ep was Sillexa, Sally and Tayris low. Sally would've won the lipsync and it's not like Sillexa is giving anything, she couldn't even walk down the runway in her shoes and didn't have boobs for the challenge because she lent them to the other girls. It's a competition!

Who do I even like that's left? I don't mind Elle or I guess Catrin seems ok, Chai and maybe Tayris although she isn't giving much. The others all blend together for me.

Literally someone like Charra Tea would be wiping the floor with these girls based on these performances

Ive not seen the episode yet but I saw Sillexa’s winning talent show and christ…. either that’s egregious on a level higher than Elle’s episode 1 win or we have the worst crop of talent shows of all time.

I hate to say it, but this is the first season of Drag Race that I am dropping midway through.

I just don't care about any of these queens — dull challenges can be elevated, well, to a point, by good casting. There is no one here to root for.

I'm bored, girls!

I think the talent show format is just so tired at this point and nobody really puts any effort in and just uses it as an excuse to do a lip-sync, ahem, original track number. Then you get one queen like Sally if you’re lucky that does something not even slightly out there but seems it when grouped with everything else.

Bones I’m sad because wtf was that track? Couldn’t hear anything other than muffled noise. At least she knows how to serve looks. Tayris was the clear winner of the night for me but once again she’s just being overlooked.
