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.

Bones kicked off the roast and I thought “well that was mid” then I saw the rest :’) jesus wept

Honestly Sillexa or even Elle I think were worse than Tayris, but whatever lmfao, I’m so bored I only watched the challenge, lipsync and runway because I cannot be arsed to waste an hour on the episode. Tayris also easily won that lipsync.

Honestly half of UK6 would have won this season and I struggle to see Elle or Bones even getting one win. Like Bones on UK6 would be like LOW-TOP-LOW-HIGH-ELIM or sth. I do think looking at everything, Bones is far and away the correct winner of this top 4 though, absolutely 0 charisma but her drag is put together, she knows who she is, I just think it’s not necessarily the best kind of queen for what the show of Drag Race nor is it the best TV, but in the end she has got deserved wins for performance, comedy and looks.

Like imagine La Voix doing this season I think she’d be like HIGH-SAFE-HIGH-WIN-WIN-WIN-WIN-HIGH-WIN

Well for the first time I think I saw Bones just being herself, and the way she smiled and let herself lose when she was announced as a winner, I was like ‘yeap, we need to see more of that’ and not always so statuesque and afraid of showing feelings!!!

Correct episode winner in all honesty, and oh my Catrin Feelings…like what was that!!! Seriously, I just don’t get how is she a Top 4 finalist!!! She should have gone home last week!!!

I thought she smashed the lipsync though, as much as I adore Tayris. I think Catrin embodied the song better.

jesus christ this season

Catrin still being there and making the final after two f***ing godawful weeks is hilarious. The whole roast was completely subpar but jesus christ there was not a single redeeming quality in hers. Silllexa is so annoying too. Sure, her runways are great but her whole vibe is just not it.

Tayris going home just feels criminal too, like okay yeah she didn't have all of the laughs but she was the most confident of all of them by a long shot, had some funny moments, brilliant runway (those critiques, lol x). Definitely deserved over Catrin.

I thought Tayris was the best this week but whatever !!!!!!!!

Elle to win pls

The editing was crazy, like ok fair enough if they personally found it less funny but the way they edited it like she bombed 💀 I don’t think it was like hysterical absolutely should have won over Bones but in such a mid roast, I thought she had some great one liners. And it’s a roast what’s wrong with that? They’ve only got a quick set they are hardly going to have a monologue for each queen. Yet again they’ve cast a POC as if they are filler, although granted basically this whole season felt like filler.

Out of I think 25 possible top placements given, ONE was given to a POC (Tayris in the talent show). At the very least, Tayris could/should have been top for girl groups and design, possibly even the roast, Chai should have been in the top for girl groups and design.

tbf in my universe catrin has 2 wins (week 1 + first acting challenge) so i think she deserves to be in the final.

tayris should also be on 2 wins tbh and challenging for the crown.

This season has been such a mess that I had to do a "What would happen if I were a judge" write-up for it to see if it'd shape up any differently:

Episode 1: Queens of the Brit Gala

WINNER: Paige Three

HIGH: Bones, Catrin Feelings

LOW: Elle Vosque

BOTTOM: Nyongbella, Pasty

ELIMINATED (but saved by a stupid twist): Pasty

I still don't really know what the criteria is meant to be for this challenge but Paige is the only one who was likeable in the challenge and delivered two great looks. Bones had the best looks but no personality, Catrin had the best personality but a bad look on the red carpet. I genuinely think the winner of the episode, Elle, had two boots for runways (I still can't believe she won in a tinfoil triangle) but would be saved and praised for her personality.

Episode 2: Rumble In The Jumble

WINNER: Sally TM

HIGH: Bones, Catrin Feelings

LOW: Bonnie Ann Clyde

BOTTOM: Pasty, Viola

ELIMINATED: Pasty

I don't disagree with anything in this episode actually.

Episode 3: Battle of the Brats

WINNER: Paige Three

HIGH: Tayris Mongardi, Chai T Grande

LOW: Viola

BOTTOM: Sally TM, Catrin Feelings

ELIMINATED: Sally TM

Episode 4: Sweety Darlings!

WINNER: Bonnie Ann Clyde

HIGH: Catrin Feelings, Paige Three

LOW: Nyongbella

BOTTOM: Viola, Sillexa Diction

ELIMINATED: Viola

Episode 5: Talent Ahoy!

WINNER: Tayris Mongardi

HIGH: Sillexa Diction, Elle Vosque

LOW: Bonnie Ann Clyde

BOTTOM: Chai T Grande, Bones

ELIMINATED: Bones

Episode 6: Peter Pansy: The Rusical

WINNERS: Paige Three & Elle Vosque

HIGH: Sillexa Diction

LOW: Catrin Feelings

BOTTOM: Nyongbella & Tayris Mongardi

ELIMINATED: Nyongbella

Episode 7: Snatch Me Out!

WINNER: Bonnie Ann Clyde

HIGH: Elle Vosque, Catrin Feelings

LOW: Tayris Mongardi

BOTTOM: Paige Three & Chai T Grande

ELIMINATED: Chai T Grande

Episode 8: The Hun Makeover

WINNER: Sillexa Diction

HIGH: Elle Vosque (I guess?!), Paige Three (weird outfits, but great paint I guess???)

LOW: Tayris Mongardi

BOTTOM: Catrin Feelings & Bonnie Ann Clyde

ELIMINATED: Catrin Feelings

Episode 9: Comedy is a Bitch

WINNER: Bonnie Ann Clyde

HIGH: Elle Vosque, Sillexa Diction

BOTTOM: Tayris Mongardi & Paige Three

ELIMINATED: Tayris Mongardi

FINALISTS:

>> Bonnie Ann Clyde (3 wins, 0 highs, 3 safes, 2 lows, 1 bottom)

>> Elle Vosque (1 win, 4 highs, 3 safes, 1 low, 0 bottoms)

>> Paige Three (3 wins, 2 highs, 2 safes, 0 low, 2 bottoms)

>> Sillexa Diction (1 win, 3 highs, 4 safes, 0 low, 1 bottom)

I think this looks like a much stronger top 4. Quite truthfully, I think Paige Three is the queen they've built Bones up to be. She's got everything Bones has, but much more charisma, likeability, CONFIDENCE (the fact we're probably about to get a winner who has openly said she doesn't believe in herself is wild), a brand etc. Bonnie is the consumate professional with 3 wins, whilst Elle consistent, never bottom (and they could've EASILY played on the underdog storyline more than they have to flesh her character out more). Leaving fan-favourite Sillexa in a likely 4th.

This is a bit more fantasy and I think I would miss Sillexa in this version going earlier but this kind of works, I’ve taken out the cow rubbish for a non elim girl group episode

Episode 1: whatever the f*** that was

WIN Paige

HIGH Bones, Catrin

LOW Elle

BTM2 Nyongbella

ELIM Pasty

I mean it could have been a normal non elim premiere, but this challenge was just awful. I don’t really know how to even judge it but Elle winning was one of the most egregious ever and Paige winning here I think sets her up as a confident, big name front runner.

Episode 2: Design

WIN Sally

HIGH Bones, Chai, Tayris

LOW Paige

BTM2 Bonnie

ELIM Viola

I think this was pretty fair but without Pasty viola goes earlier.

Episode 3: Girl group

WIN Paige

TOP Bones

HIGH Tayris, Chai

LOW Bonnie, Sally

I think a Paige/Bones lipsync sets up their friendship and maybe a friendly rivalry as the two big name London queens as Bones tasted a win but lost the badge at the last second. Judging this “fairly” I think would lose Bonnie or Sally who I think both were needed for a little longer.

Episode 4: Acting

WIN Catrin

HIGH Bonnie, Paige

LOW Elle

BTM2 Bones

ELIM Silexa

Bonnie was a fine winner, but let’s spread the wins and give one to Catrin, could have gone either way. I think Nyongbella did… fine? This was where it really became clear who they were trying to push and protect and who they couldn’t care less about (Chai and Nyongbella). Really this lipsync could go either way.

Episode 5: Talent

WIN Tayris

HIGH Elle, Nyongbella

LOW Catrin

BTM Bones

ELIM Chai

Unfortunately I think this was a dead end for Chai but at least this was a better run for her and the lipsync is close imo. In my fantasy Nyongbella pulls off some kind of quirky cute lipsync and kind of slays and finally gets a moment to have positive critiques and shine a bit.

Episode 6: Rusical

WIN Elle, Paige

HIGH Bones

LOW Nyongbella

BTM2 Tayris

ELIM Sally

This was pretty fair, I think it was a decent crop and I don’t think Nyongbella would do amazing here but I’m not sure she’d be bottom.

Episode 7: Snatch Game

WIN Bonnie

HIGH Elle, Catrin

YELLOWSAFE Tayris

LOW Paige

BTM2 Bones

ELIM Nyongbella

Paige avoiding the bottom is probably a stretch but I think it would maybe be a case of “at least she had an idea” or runway saved her, compared to Nyongbella who I could see doing a completely nothing Snatch Game. I also kind of like this storyline of Bones always slightly lagging behind Paige given their status and friendship.

Episode 8: Makeover

WIN Bones

HIGH Paige

YELLOWSAFE Elle

LOW Tayris

BTM2 Bonnie

ELIM Catrin

Bones finally gets her win over Paige, I think Paige’s outfits looked awful on insta would be campy enough to probably work plus you take into account the makeup aspect. This lipsync was close enough that Bonnie could have stayed, neither her or Catrin have amazing TRs here but given the roast was just after we really needed to keep Bonnie.

Episode 9: Roast

WIN Bonnie

HIGH Tayris, Bones

BTM Paige

ELIM Elle

All round ties everyone’s story up pretty well! Bonnie finally back to slaying comedy, Tayris getting back to the top after a struggle for a few weeks and Bones breaking out and doing fine in a comedy challenge, leaving Paige to have a vulnerability moment and Elle with a “not quite there yet” elimination, ousted by the front runner.

Episode 10: Finale

Bonnie Anne Clyde (2 wins, 2 bottoms)

Paige Three (3 wins, 1 bottom)

Bones (1 win, 1 top, 3 bottoms)

Tayris (1 win, 1 bottom)

With what really happened, Bones is definitely right winner for me but I think Paige was just cast off and not given a chance to be her best when she easily could have been positioned for the win. This is one of those seasons where just a week or two being judged more fairly drastically alters things. I think this just as obvious that Paige would win as it is for Bones now, the casting is a lot of this season’s problem so however you fix it I think it would feel off anyway sadly.

Yeah, I do think it's also unfortunate (to give the producers SOME credit on this) that some of their best TV just weren't good enough.

Nyongbella was the standout personality/confessional queen (think Heidi N Closet) but she just didn't care enough to be good enough.

Sally TM was the standout "quirky runway" girl but she wasn't a good enough performer and then lipsyncer.

Viola was the only one I think could've played a "villain" and caused friction, but she wasn't stand out enough in performance either.
