Chair is the funniest thing to happen to this series, genuine laughter.

Sadly... the best performing queens just aren't good TV and aren't particularly exciting personalities. Yes, Elle and Bonnie are very good at Drag Race. But they're ultimately quite boring. And, Paige, Sally and Nyongbella weren't as good at Drag Race but they're much more compelling performers and TV personalities. So... we've now wound up here. Competent queens who are ready made for this show and not much else. Who do you root for? I assume it's meant to be Elle but where's the star power?

I think they’re trying to give Bones a “she came out of her shell” journey edit but it’s not really working because frankly she is mid at basically the show expects of you everything except looks. This is VERY season 3 right down to her being Krystal.

Obviously this is just my opinion so may still be biased but my judging allowed Paige to still stay and built her more of a solid run, plus we got longer of Nyongbella and everyone got wins by episode 7. I do think the cast is just not built for a great season but I think keeping Paige and Nyongbella in particular

Episode 1: Paige win

Episode 2: Sally win, Pasty sent home by Viola

Episode 3: Tayris win, viola sent home by Sally (not sure she’d win this lipsync but hey)

Episode 4: Catrin win, Sillexa sent home by Bones

Episode 5: Elle win, Chai sent home by Bones

Episode 6: Elle and Paige win, Sally sent home by Nyongbella (unfortunately I don’t think there’s any saving Sally from this episode but the lipsync is not Nyongbella’s wheelhouse I guess either)

Episode 7: Bonnie win, Nyongbella sent home by Bones (I think Nyong could feasibly do something for SG that could be worse than Paige’s Alexa idk like an “at least she tried to have a concept” low for Paige)

Doesn’t solve the problem of Elle and Bones being dull and I don’t think it saves the season, but Paige felt like a bit of a heart of the season and these last couple of episodes will be even more of a slog.

Wow, a previous challenge winner eliminated twice in a row, that hasn’t happened before! Runways and lip syncs are really f***ing them up this season.

Bones is being pushed so hard by the production here, the end result is just very meh.

Next challenge is surely Cathryn’s to take finally since the obvious winner was just eliminated.

The lipsync was much better than the spoilers said! Catrin pretty much nailed that, one of the best lipsyncs we've seen all season (although the bar has been on the floor!)

I do feel Bonnie was pretty much set up this episode though; not her specifically but whoever got the giant David would have been forced to sew a new outfit unless they'd brought something really large that they could modify. The fact everyone else got petite afabs feels like insult to injury tbh.

I might have given the win to Sillexa, to my eye she did the best makeover even if Bones had the best outfits... the wedding dress really wasn't that dissimilar to what Charlotte wore in the werkroom, and the makeup was quite minimal too.

Poor Bonnie, absolutely SCREWED by her partner. But, I did say last week, though she may be great at the competition, the charisma just isn’t there and… that really showed in 1) being placed next to David Potts who is full of personality and 2) such a bland lip sync to a good song. Nice and pretty queen though.

I feel like we’re being led to a Elle vs Bones top two and well… pick your favourite shade of beige wallpaper, I guess. Sillexa is my favourite left but even she’s not really giving winner energy, I just love her OTT/more is more/padding is everything style of drag.

Agreed, I do think it was unfair/an imbalance, I think we would have got this bottom 2 anyway given the strengths and weaknesses of this crop but I think having David would have probably hindered basically anyone, Sillexa as a strong sewer probably could have done something but someone like Bonnie or Catrin who aren’t strong look queens and don’t sew, how is either of those supposed to make a whole new outfit for someone the size of David?! In fairness though that’s the worst makeover I’ve ever seen, possibly in the whole of Drag Race, and so far behind even Catrin’s. It’s a bit of both, I think they probably weren’t arsed about her being in the final and clearly want Elle or Bones to win, which is whatever.

Although the lipsync was… fine actually, I suppose really they could have kept her over Catrin given she has 2 wins although I prefer Catrin on the whole, I agree Bonnie just doesn’t have the spark or charisma which is weird for someone with their strengths being comedy, but compare her to Catrin and on the runway or the workroom Catrin has more wit and charm I feel, even if her drag isn’t necessarily as strong. So really I just don’t care about the elim order lol, it’s hard to care about any of these queens but Catrin hosts/hosted a lot here so I will always root for her. I don’t think they care too much about Catrin either to have not given her a win ( she easily could have had the acting win over Bonnie)

To be honest, I can't believe Catryn is still around...the girl hasn't brought any looks, nor haven't smashed any of the challenges, yet she's still here...it's too Lawrence Chaney for me but without Lawrence talent to back it up!!!

I did find it camp how they made a point of saying how focused and determined Bonnie is for her to not be at all arsed and give about 1% in the lipsync lmfaooo

Honestly I would have had Catrin go (and about f***ing time too!) because what the f*** was that makeover? IMO quite possibly one of the worst things I've seen on that main stage. Poor Diane looked a state. Bonnie's wasn't much better but at least she tried something bold.

Re. Catrin in the lip-sync too I really cannot when queens don't know the words and just look like they're trying to click their jaw back into place the whole time.

Just crown Bones already at this point please.
