    Presumably Sandy just happened to have a baby around the same time so they raised them as twins but that is just so convoluted for a twist that doesn’t even need to happen and that adds absolutely nothing lol They seem to be everything and also nothing with Robbie since he came back and none of it works.

    The AS11 merge apparently will not feature a Snatch Game! There is a talent show again and some kind of hosting challenge.

    Rumours are that Kennedy did not survive the merge and the wildcard was Joey Jay lol.

    Also Morphine apparently completely bombed and Ru even called her out during critiques for letting herself down oop

    A talent show finale would be great I think, across all countries, spin offs etc, I do find finales almost always feel anticlimactic. The live ones are definitely better as they feel like more of a spectacle, and I like the US regular season with the finalists all getting an original song performance.

    I feel like a finale should be a talent show so each queen gets to do whatever represents them best. That might be a lipsync but they could also sing or dance or whatever is most “them”, rather than their crowning coming down to a few arbitrary songs that may or may not resonate or fit with them. The Lalaparuza could have just been, like with normal seasons, out of the eliminated queens for a She Done Already Had Herses prize instead of the actual crown.

    Alongside a longer merge (maybe add a Ball and a Rumix so there’s comedy, performance and looks challenges), I think that would have helped this season. Daya, Bosco, Lydia or even Irene i think would contend for a Ball and a Rumix would probably be Jorgeous or Aja, maybe Daya, so that would add some variety to the wins and highs as well. Plus in a Ball Ginger would likely get a bottom 2 vulnerability moment which would add some kind 9f journey instead of just smashing everything. I did like the bracket format I just think the merge was a bit rushed, they could have added say 3-4 more episodes and had more screen time and a variety of challenges for the merged queens. Jorgeous, Irene and Daya I felt were pretty invisible in the merge and maybe a couple more episodes would have helped that.

    On the contrary I think if she was never good enough at Drag Race to win fairly, having a season fixed in her favour as a way of doing it is in my mind, bullshit. It's the same reason Alyssa Edwards has a crown.

    Ultimately this way of doing Drag Race also doesn't feel like this is a 'real' crown. She had to do five competitive episodes to get this. Even Bebe back in season 1 had more than that and they were a whole mix of things too. Almost anyone could win Drag Race if they were handed five episodes in a row (or at least 4) of challenges that are in their particular skillset, plus one team challenge where you can rely on your teammate solely to do the costuming portion you're not as strong as. Just comparing to other recent seasons. Jimbo and Angeria had 10 competitive episodes. Onya and Nymphia had 13. Most international queens have 8 or 9. It makes for a more compelling arc and most competitors need to show range OR lipsync to justify their spot.

    If she does come back for AW2 she's not going to do as well on it without the favoritism that she won't be given if she's cast with someone like Lawrence, Jimbo or Sasha Colby.

    Ginger absolutely is good enough to win, she should have won season 7. That’s not a reason to give her a crown now, but she did objectively well at all 5 challenges she did. Not comparable at all to Alyssa who bombed half the season and had to be saved from the bottom a good 3-4 times and that’s being generous. I do think the bracket challenges were quite convenient for her, but she is an incredibly talented queen and good enough to win regardless. I think it felt like Jorgeous or Bosco’s time personally, but my life will go on, people on twitter are doing way too much and it is insane lol. Being frustrated is one thing but the hate and vitriol for a talented drag queen winning a drag show is out of this world. You’d think Kerri came back having skipped the merge and won the way they are going on

    I’m sorry Kelley volunteering to be a pawn, crashing out, giving up, then going on to win the Blockbuster arena over the kind of himbo jock who back say 5 years ago would have been the type to steamroll the season every time is kind of c**t, she ate that.

    This season is eating, we’re in a new era of Big Brother and it’s great. So much chaos, drama, I’m hooked like its the good old days.

    This fan reaction is absolutely insane and ridiculous. I would have preferred Lydia or Bosco or Jorgeous to win, but Ginger killed this season. Yes it’s kind of dull to have a 4th timer steamroll, but someone who did well at Drag Race won Drag Race, shocker o

    I hope she comes back for All Winners 2 out of spite. If only some fans realised you can be normal and just go on with your life when someone you didn’t want to win wins a TV show. It’s cracking me up people are on about rigging and favouritism like… ok that’s the show? It’s literally RUPAUL’S Drag Race, she decides the winner. It’s not like it’s a public vote and Ginger won with less fan support.

    Soa flopping 3 balls is kind of iconic lol

    Honestly Moon had no business being in the bottom and I’d have had Misty bottom 2 over Magnetica. I think they weighted the last look way too much when the whole team had varying levels of meh to horrible designed looks, but Magnetica’s first two were great. Moon’s looks were basic but very her and it was a cohesive Ball package. Soa first out would have been crazy which I assume would have happened if it was her vs Misty as it probably should have been.

    The top 3 was definitely right, I’d maybe have gone Piche in the top over Kam because that Deliveroo look was so utterly ridiculously camp but I could see arguments for any of the 3. Kam just doesn’t excite me that much.

    Amazing season so far despite kind of wack judging.

    The worst thing about all this is the absolute lunacy of the Ballum stans on Twitter coming out again because their precious boy is mentioned and how dare they ruin Callum’s character by actually giving him something to do.

    Oscar along with Priya is the best new casting in YEARS, I can’t believe in a matter of 4 episodes there has been so much development and so many layers to him. So sweet tonight when he used his wages to buy Jimmy a toy 😭

    • Shocked 1

    Want: I’d be elated with Lydia or Bosco, Ginger or Jorgeous are fine by me too though

    Think: I’d be shocked if it wasn’t Ginger

    Deserve: honestly Ginger has killed it, Bosco and Jorgeous have had really strong showings though, all 3 are at the top of their game and Lydia has done absolutely incredibly to think she came back straight off her original run and hadn’t even been on TV when she filmed this!

    if I chose who to return I think Mistress is most fair, of the ones who didn’t make it I think all were fair to not qualify tbh

    I won’t be mad if any of them win, there’s nobody I’m not keen on other than Kerri and let’s be real if it’s her she is not winning a single lipsync unless somebody brings a malfunctioning money gun lol

    Ok, I’m already a big Oscar Branning fan. That casting-it’s perfect! He looks so much like Max’s son.

    Also here for him being queer. I’d like it if he was bi because there is a lack of representation there but if he’s gay it’s also quite refreshing. At least we won’t have to witness a coming out story, we haven’t really seen an already out and proud teenager in EE before so that’s also very refreshing.

    Him pulling up in the van and Ian being inside sent me 😂

    Also, I really wish Abi was still there. I say it a lot. I loved the references to her tonight.

    I love the fact there’s no coming out, it was just placed into his character naturally. We really don’t need a boring tortured coming out saga, that’s so overdone in soaps so it’s refreshing that it just happens to be part of him already, it’s not a huge thing but it’s a characteristic that’s used to add to the charm and appeal and comedy.

    Rachel on feeds seems to be leaning into the social game a lot more, both times she played before was obviously polarising and relied on her comp ability so it’s a good sign she has worked on her weaknesses a bit more.

    I don’t mind vets/newbies mixing but I think it is kind of crazy to drop in someone of her calibre, such a legend, alongside recruits who’ve never seen the show, and she’s the only vet.

    So far love her though as expected due to her being one of my all time faves, also loving Ava, Kelley, Mickey, Zack and Adrian so far. It’s a very promising cast and season already!! Like even the ones I don’t like such as Jimmy, I can sense an iconic crash out coming sooner rather than later, he will be an early out in a hot mess way I think.

    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!

    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?

    Great casting, I’m wondering if he might be gay/bi too given some of the dialogue which would be a good story to tell for a younger legacy character growing up and makes up for the fact they just turfed out two characters who were LGBTQ+ rep without doing much with them. Obviously just speculation but it would make sense.

    Also I find it hard to believe Julie wouldn’t go straight to Walford or reach out to someone she knows still lives there to see if Nigel was there? lol

    They have changed it now so there is a dubbed and non dubbed version as two different shows, the other day I changed my iPad language to French so it would just play it in French and I could put English subs on lol

    Mami is so evolved it is insane, a well deserved win. There’s definitely a sense of confidence in her abilities, not just her body, there’s such a spark of charisma still, and the looks are definitely elevated and thought through. Very excited to see everything else she does. Misty’s talent show was also a gag and I love Elips and Kam’s performances too. Magnetica’s was clunky but I think Punani was the flat out worst, correct bottom 3 though.

    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 lol 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.

    It says it all that he has had a baby with Lauren, his mum come back from the dead and he’s got two secret siblings he didn’t know about, and still there is nothing to the character, nothing to enjoy or root for or look forward to seeing. It feels like they asked Lauren back only to build around the Beales as an extension to Peter but now they are rebuilding the Brannings she really needs to get away from him.
