Does Jessie ever actually go to work? :rofl:
Victoria's rape has been done really well, and yeah Isobel really showed off her talent there. The 'big night out' has been really good tbh and got me hooked on this again!!Of course though, according to the sun (who are normally spot on with the ITV soaps) Victoria will be pregnant and will give her baby to Aaron/Robert :mellow: Another misogynistic twist to give the golden couple a baby :drama:
What the f*** that CANNOT be real :mellow: Well I say that as if it wasn't an obvious outcome, anything for those two...

Hope I'm wrong about Belarus but I can't see it being enough for Zena :( This semi will definitely be interesting though, I feel like the top 3 are the big contedners to win it (depending on how Tamta's vox go oops) and then I've just thought of Serbia as a bit of a curveball, Czech as the slight novelty factor being a bit cheesy and weird and then Georgia kind of feels like that one random out of nowhere qualifier we're bound to get. Greece seems the safe bet to win the semi but the more I watch Kate the more faith I have that she will absolutely smash this :wub:

In a couple of weeks' time we'll find out who is Miss fan favourite/Congeniality, we're still unaware whether it will be fan voted after last year's bot saga, or whether it will be the admittedly much fairer way of the queens voting, but either way.... Who do you want to win the title?

Little Mix – Hair

If anyone but Nina wins Miss Congeniality it's an absolute joke, I'd take Shuga if this was any other season but there's never been a quite who's anywhere near to summing up being congenial as well as Nina. Plastique winning just because she's pretty would be ridic. I agree it's much better left to the queens anyway, they're the ones who went through the whole experience with each other and the fact that say Valentina won just because she was prettiest and had the fanbase just undermined the fact it was supposed to be about being congenial. I think they could easily have a fan fave kind of award and then also have Miss Congeniality voted by the queens if they wanted to have a fan voted metric, I just don't think it should be Miss Congeniality.
As for a winner, I can't see past Brooke, I'd have Yvie in the mix if she hadn't lost her mojo since Snatch Game, even if she slays next week it's going to feel like she's well behind Brooke in terms of what she's brought to the season as much as I adore her. Silky they just would not risk, I think they filmed it thinking she was going to be the star of the season but fan reaction will surely have dissuaded them, it wouldn't be worth the furore it would inevitably and rightfully cause. I'd feel odd if any of the others bar Brooke won to be honest, as much as she may not be the most exciting personality, she has pretty much slayed everything put in front of her (save for Good God Get A Grip Girl and Snatch Game). The looks that won her the Ball and makeover might not have been the most edgy or exciting, but equally she's pushed herself and surprised in challenges like the cop improv and magic performance. It's odd to think we could have a winner who gave one of the absolute worst Snatch Game performances ever though when it used to be (and kinda still is) the challenge that can make or break and set contenders apart :lol:

Yeah it's all part of the fun for me! I love seeing snippets of how songs might be staged, and then all the predictions and odds shift, I especially love when some random contender emerges (like France is now for example), it's always fun to see what's gonna happen in the space of this week or so before the actual contest.
It is really only fans who'll seek them out and even then not all of them, so I can't see the issue. It's another part of the calendar between national finals and the actual contest!

I've rewatched the lipsync and I'm mad all over again ffs
Like Nina was not great, and I wouldn't have blamed Ru at all if she just said they can both sashay away and brought back another queen or whatever, but it really just does feel like Silky got to stay because Ru has already decided she's gonna be a finalist. She legit just walked back and forth, and clearly didn't know the words so kept doing things that made sure she didn't have to just face them and lipsync the words. If Nina or Scarlett or Shuga had done that, Ru would have stopped the lipsync and made them start again Valentina style, I don't know how Silky got away with it AND stayed... Nina was awkward but at least she kind of tried, even if she ended up looking like an anaemic drunk aunt at a wedding :lol: It's made me dislike Silky even more, like you know what if she had slayed that lipsync I'd give her the credit but to talk so much game and do.... that to a TLC song we've waited so long to see a lipsync of... Girl.
I think this is the biggest waste of a great lipsync song ever, at least nearly on the level of Dax/Laila's I Will Survive :drama:
The drama would have been incredible too if we got an Yvie vs Silky lipsync to culminate their rivalry and Yvie absolutely demolished Silky, that would have been an iconic elimination and set up the reunion etc. too for some beef.

This is nail on the head. I feel like the definition of drag has gotten very confused, because fashion queens are such a thing now. But Nina's drag is still very valid. I hated her wigs and Shuga's makeup was a bit crusty but the outfits were great!
Exactly! Like I get if a judge prefers fashion queens or whatever because we've all got our preferred "type" of queen, but they do seem to really place emphasis on fashion as drag and that shouldn't be it at all. We do have the likes of Raja, Violet and Aquaria who've pushed the boundaries of fashion with drag, but equally winners like Trixie, Bianca, Jinkx and Alaska have done so much with their comedy and/or personalities that are really doing so much, like Trixie and Bianca are doing things that no drag queen has ever done. I don't know why a look, most of the time a look somebody else made for them anyway, is nowadays the be all and end all. Whilst Brooke and Yvie have absolutely slayed the runway with some fashion/conceptual looks, Nina always brings a bit of fun and camp, and Drag Race always could do with some of that.

As someone who actually liked some of Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber's recent material, I still think this is a meh song even by their standards. It just feels really basic.
Same here, not the biggest fan of either but I've really liked a lot of both their latest eras (Castle On The Hill is brilliant and I loved all three of the Purpose #1s) but this just isn't it. It's nothing to do with it being a male voice, or not being Taylor Swift or whoeevr else, that argument is really boring when it's always brought up on this site. The song is just boring and generic, and yes neither artist is known for alternative jazz metal or anything wild but this is another level of meh.

I don't care indeed, it's not terrible or anything but it's so bland I couldn't remember much about it the second it finished. It's pretty much exactly the formulaic hit you expect from them, so of course it'll be #1 forever and lingering on the spotify charts even longer.... Both are certainly capable of much better, this basically put those better songs in a blender and came out with a lowest common denominator version of them with nothing at all memorable.

I cannot stand whenever the mini challenge winner chooses things it has to go into "omg she's setting me up!1!", like.... someone had to have Soju :lol: Silky would have struggled no matter who she had, because she just is not taking anything on board! The amount of times she's been told things, Ru even told her in the workroom, and STILL she just cannot be arsed and carries on doing things the way she wants to because it's easier.
Honestly Vanjie should have EASILY won that! I love Brooke, her and Akeria were great, but as with Brooke's Ball looks I don't think she did enough to wow me and net that win necessarily. That was such a step up for Vanjie and I was really impressed, her and Ariel practically looked like twins let alone just family! Nina should not have been bottom though, low yes I won't deny but I loved the statement of the LGBT flag and the trans flag as being in the same family, the make-up for Shuga was not the tea but I think it was great that they came out and put a message across, took a bit of a risk, and had fun. There was no fun and no edge to say Akeria or Brooke, and I get that they *technically* fit the makeover challenge more but that's why I'm not always a huge fan of the makeover challenge, those who fit the challenge often are kind of boring and predictable. But either way, I was super impressed by Vanjie and it's sad she couldn't nab that win finally.
It's tough as Silky was the only really bad one this week, but I'd have put Yvie in the bottom 2 - that's twice in a row now she's been very lucky to escape the bottom! The look wasn't terrible, it definitely had her stamp on it, but it was certainly a misstep to put Scarlet in the unfinished/early version of the same outfit, because it did make Scarlett look like an afterthought and that's always a no-no in the makeover. Even with Silky, whilst I hated the outfits, it didn't look like Soju just handed some leftovers. I kind of get Yvie's reasoning behind using that look, it wasn't right for a makeover challenge where you should be paying as much attention to your partner as yourself, and make them look like you and be on your level.
That lipsync was easily the worst of the season, I feel robbed of a proper Nina lipsync :/ It couldn't have been a less sutiable song for her, but I know that the song that week can't always be perfect for everyone who lands there, it's just the way things go :( Silky has that loud and sassy personality though so TLC should have been her bag and she basically did nothing, yet again having talked SO much game she couldn't deliver any of it. It just feels like Ru already decided Silky is to be in the final so anything can pass, even sloppy messy mistakes that queens should have stopped making weeks ago. I agree as well Ru probably knew Yvie would destroy Silky in a lipsync so just let Nina go instead.

EastEnders
in Television
Yeah I could definitely do without a baby storyline for Louise, it just feels an easy default to give a character a pregnancy to deal with instead of nothing.
Forget that give her the Lifetime Achievement *.*
