Ari just lost the Golden Globe to Zoe Saldana, typically this predicts the Oscar as well but even being nominated for the Oscar would be insane tbf. Part of me isn’t even sure she’ll get the Oscar nom but we will see, the critical and awards success has been incredible for Ari as it is.

For all the incredible queens the show has seen, Viv is the ONE where her hosting just made so much sense :(

Just heard this and had to shut myself in my office at work, what the f***?! Truly heartbreaking, not an exaggeration at all to say she’s one of the world’s best to do it and I cannot believe this 💔

I can hear Sharlene as well! Kingfisher I think is Harry Hill and the crab could be Gregory Porter?

Acacia was kind of done dirty, that was a perfectly safe talent performance. Nothing special but it definitely wasn’t worse than Joella or frankly Arietty and I’d maybe argue Lydia too, she had a better idea but flubbed the execution a bit. Correct top 2 for me, I’m kind of obsessed with Suzie already. Her and Lexi are my early faves, I can’t wait to see Lexi next week!!

I wish I liked Minhi’s drag more because she is such a sweetheart! I agreed with her win this week but I’m surprised Makayla kind of ate after the last design challenge. Definitely a better episode this time, Makayla wanted some of Melinda Verga’s nachos and I lived for it.

Episode 7: WIN Minhi HIGH Helena SAFE Makayla, Perla BTM Xana, Virgo Xana elim

I pray 2025 is Priya’s year, Sophie Khan-Levy is absolutely outstanding and I don’t think we’ve seen even half of what she’s capable of, if she had a really good issue based storyline or something to get her teeth into I think she would knock it out of the park. Even just a proper romance with Ravi, imagine a love triangle and rivalry with Denise!!! Also I don’t see the point of Ruby coming back if it was just going to be the same as last time around with the Martin love triangle. I’m thinking she

I think Esther/Kim in Hollyoaks and Ali/Ruby in Emmerdale are the only two lesbian weddings to actually successfully happen in soap, and even then Ruby died less than a year later :lol: So for once for it would be nice to just have them be happy from now, with Nish dead. We still got the dramatic episode and cliffhanger but there is just no need for Nish to still get his way.

Suki, Cindy, Eve and Denise all serving c**t in Walford General:

Can they rip Nish’s vital organs out to make sure he’s actually dead this time? :lol: Suki is definitely alive because she fell on Nish basically, they wouldn’t kill off Denise either, I think Eve could be dead as that’s such an Eastenders wedding thing to do. I think the anniversary will have a big death so maybe not but I wouldn’t be shocked if they kind of set off what to expect with this as well.

Canada loves a f*** ass TR but Xana, Perla, Makayla and kind of Virgo all have wild TRs at this point. Minhi has done consistently well to be fair to her bar the horrifically awful Go Off Queen verse but she has 0 winner energy. Makayla regardless of TR I feel has it all, she has had a strong win for girl groups, she’s been in some Untucked drama, daughter of a previous winner and makeover guest, plus she’s had ups and downs so it feels like it’s been a journey.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if this was axed following the anniversary. I’ve read that they’ve got a few characters going on guest contracts similar to Tracey atm, Evelyn soon and others to come. I guess it makes sense that they are using new younger characters so much as they cost much less to pay than an established actress like Maureen Lipman or a long standing character like Helen Worth’s Gail. I’m wondering if they will do something like Hollyoaks and have major cut backs, the cast is huge and certainly big enough to do that and it might actually work? I’ve not watched properly in a few years but everything I’ve seen online just sounds worse and worse, and it was an absolute travesty how they wrote Gail out with such little fanfare. That horrific AI child was the nadir for me though :lol:

In a tract house that we share, somewhere that’s green 🥰

Well Well Well is a good shout, but then it’s a pretty horrible song and terrible choice of second album lead. I do blame that rather than the Diet Coke ad for the way her career absolutely tanked, the album never had a chance at all. The song and indeed whole album isn’t even on Spotify anymore!

Well that was… an episode of Drag Race :lol: Xana not only winning Snatch Game but being the only remotely funny one was kind of insane. You know what, to be fair to Minhi at least she always goes for it. Her character couldn’t have been less funny really but she did give it her best shot and half these queens don’t do that in these challenges. Perla and Helena were perfectly fine I guess. Virgo continues to give NOTHING, even in the lipsync which is supposed to be her bread and butter I barely even noticed her but then these three way lipsyncs are often disappointing because there’s not as much room on the stage so the queens are stifled a bit.

“We found her on her back” well doesn’t that make a change xx

I’m not sure they would kill her off but they have pretty much dismantled every possible route she could have gone down and I don’t see how she could stay, though Ian will probably be a mug and take her back because of her being injured if she’s not dead :lol:

More assorted tea: Arietty gets a Ball win, pretty much flops most other challenges Suzie wins the Rusical which is Wicked/The Wizard of Oz themed Onya wins the roast Lydia sends Kori home to Look What You Made Me Do Lexi, Lana, Sam and Jewels win Girl Groups

Denali is one of the most overrated lipsyncers the show has produced, I think she can only really do high energy poppy performance songs, I could see Cucu beating her to something else tbh

New contradicting tea, will be interesting to see who’s right: Cynthia gets a win!! She wins the Rusical and wins the lipsync against Denali Ginger Minj wins 2/3 episodes but Daya Betty wins the lipsync both times

A different spiller has now said Sam has a villain edit, her mother’s daughter :lol: Also Lana sends Hormona home (for good, after her badunkadunk tank) at the Ball, which is episode 6. This is consistent with earlier tea that said Lana struggles with Snatch Game and the Ball but nearer the end of her run starts to do better.

01 Lemon - one of my favourite queens period and she absolutely destroyed her season. 02 Angeria - mother, Roxxxy probably should have won but it would have felt wrong to see either without a crown and Angeria ate this season up, she’s such a rounded and charismatic icon I love her. 03 Leexa Fox - I totally wrote her off having a chance after her pulled and muted run on the season so I was elated when my fave actually won!! They spent the whole time telling her she was too young or afraid to look stupid and too “pretty” then she killed the final so hard they had to crown her, I have to stan that. 04 Lazy Susan - her run on the series was odd but she clearly had a totally different level of drag to not just anyone on this season but probably any season of Down Under, she was almost too good for the show where her skills don’t necessarily fit into Drag Race, but she ate her 3 wins. 05 Lé Coco - I kinda wanted Vampi to win but Coco killed this season and she actually had a satisfying front runner arc for once on España as she got her first win quite late into the season. 06 Kyran Thrax - I definitely wanted La Voix to win so I was a little disappointed, but she is a unique addition to the UK Hall Of Fame and I love what she brings anyway. 07 Nymphia Wind - a little overhyped by the fans I fear, we were due a fashion winner and Nymphia is up there with the best of those but I just was so gutted Sapphira didn’t win as someone who imo is a far better rounded queen. I do like her but like with Kyran it was a case where someone who had a nearly perfect run didn’t win and it felt disappointing however much I liked the winner. 08 Alvilda - one of the most dominant winners of the year, like even as much as Lemon and Sethlas despite not having a Keiona run like those, purely because the entire time nobody else came even close or stood a chance :lol: 09 Le Filip - the most f***ass winning TR ever but in the end it felt like nobody else could have won, she was pulled a bit through the season but they paid her dues in the end I guess. Who needs challenge wins when you get the crown anyway! 10 Maxie - a dominant winner, definitely deserving, not the most dynamically exciting but absolutely killed it on one of the best seasons of the year. 11 Frankie Wonga - admittedly not finished Thailand as I thought it was absolutely awful but what I saw, the clear winner out of all of them. 12 Tia Kofi - not my favourite on UK2 in the first place, certainly much improved but not my winner pick at all. She did very well but just didn’t feel like the winner to me and I thought Hannah or Marina should have won. 13 Drag Sethlas - dominant and nobody else could have won, but everything about her run just left me a bit cold. 14 Alyssa Edwards - of course she’s a legend and the crown reflects that, but an absolutely terrible run and pushed to high heavens. I’m convinced she was contractually obliged to win or something :lol: Her motherly presence was one of the few good things about GAS though and she actually tried to get to know the other queens and be nice so that saves her from last. 15 Venus - nobody on Canada really had winner energy but I just didn’t get Venus, she did… fine all season but 0 standout moments and just felt like a damp squib of a winner. Not terrible by any means but just… fine.

If I say Virgo lowkey pushed… She could have easily been TOP-SAFE-SAFE-SAFE-SAFE, Uma or Minhi could have been high over her although Makayla and Perla were a clear top 2 ahead of everyone else. Virgo kind of gives me the same feeling as Venus, I just don’t get a spark or oomph but she’s… fine? Also idk I even feel about Minhi like she’s technically polished, but I kind of hate her drag there’s no edge or spark or oomph to it, but she seems like such a fun person I can’t not root for her a little bit. Which is so CDR coded really :lol: Makayla for me however bad or good she does is the one who feels like a star/main character and gives winner energy.

Xana do, Xana Don’t!!! (Do well in any challenge) Honestly I wish Jaylene got the beaver and Helena would have destroyed Xana in the lipsync, I do think it was the right bottom 3 though as Uma and Minhi did fine.
