A'keria has suffered more in these last two episodes than Jesus did in his entire 33 years of life.

Is Silky already 33? x

I’ve never had so many disagreements over the results of any previous seasons until now. Is Rupaul okay?? Dawn was by far the funniest, if that’s what she was looking for! I mean I’m fine with Crystal getting crowned but come on!!

I would be more plucked at Crystal winning both challenges if I felt like someone was actually great, but the past two episodes everyone has been operating at varying levels of crap. That doesn’t apply to the lip syncs or some of the runways though

Do think Dawn was the best, after thinking she should have gone home last week x

There is something about the bracket comeback that has felt off both years now. Is it the gap in filming?

I just don’t think it has time to find its feet with it being just 3 episodes each time. I hate how rushed the climax feels, it’s so topsy turvy to have the jeopardy in the first 9 episodes but then the last 3 feels kinda limp. That’s also not helped by how obvious they’ve made it in who they want to crown though.

I think it’s the fact that only one queen winds each episode and the rest are fighting to stay out the bottom. In the brackets there would be two winners and then the others could at least get some points. They need more episodes after the merge to make it seem worth it, having 9 competitive episodes pre merge and only 2 after is not a satisfying ratio.

I like the actual brackets I think it works well and lets queens who otherwise wouldn’t shine a bit more, but the merge has been really off this year in particular imo. I don’t think the weird challenge last week helped, a talent show is fine but I feel like it should be Snatch Game or a Rusical as the other one. There was also no need to do a Rate A Queen twist here. It’s so obvious who they want to crown and that’s fine, but it’s almost like they’re so set on that that they are just phoning it in with the actual challenges etc.

Idk if the season being a bit longer would help or hinder it, but say the brackets were a “qualifier” and maybe then we have say 5 or 6 episodes of a merge like a mini season, not just 2 and a finale, that might work better. But honestly I kinda just want a normal season back.

I feel the same. The episode count is the problem, but they won’t extend that. Something has to give. Also, can someone get the Canadian team to produce the US challenges? They’ve been running circles around them a while now

Why do I feel like Crystal isn’t actually going to win? Imagine

Come on A’keria!
