Buzzjack also just crashed while I was writing the next one and lost everything I wrote so ughhhhh I don't have the energy to redo it just this second ://///

30th DeDeLicious <5.71> UK5 UK5's 4th-placer, who ended up with a late run towards likeability in the competition after some stellar lipsyncs, from what seemed like a shaky start. 29th Ivory Glaze <6.00> DRDU3 The third highest-placed queen from DRDU3, despite only appearing in two episodes and bottoming both times. She must have been very likeable in the werkroom! 28th Kahanna Montrese <6.00> (higher score) AS8 This year's recipient of the 'excels at episode 1 and then nothing else' edit. Kahanna was much improved from her stint on US11 though. 27th Cara Melle <6.14> UK5 A queen that I personally couldn't stand for the majority of the competition after a very strong start in the first episode where she seemed like a strong and confident all-rounder, which lasted just until she revealed herself to have approximately zero sense of humour and with it, not much ability to take a joke or banter either. She was an interesting experiment of 'what if an American was cast on UK Drag Race', that we later saw earlier this year with Scarlet Envy on UK vs the World 2. The result - mixed. But, for representation, kudos to the UK5 team for casting another trans woman and the first Black trans contestant in the franchise. Cara picked up some high scores and my 4 for her wasn't the lowest one she got either. 26th Flor <6.17> DRDU3 The second highest queen from Down Under 3 in the ranking, Flor placed third in the season and won one challenge, the makeover, in the final episode. I haven't seen the season so I can't say any more here unfortunately! 25th Aimee Yonce Shennel <6.25> CAN4 Half of the first double shantay in Canada's Drag Race, in my opinion though, it was largely a storyline save. Aimee was best known for her rivalry (and iconic untucked fight) with Nearah Nuff. She also, in my opinion, had some great runway looks and a very funny Snatch Game, but wasn't really praised as such on the season. 24th Loosey Laduca <6.33> US15 A strong performer on US15, Loosey was best known for winning Snatch Game, flopping the talent show, for the song/meme 'Let Loose', and her rivalry on the season with Luxx Noir London, culminating in an awkward 'who should go home' exchange on the main stage. Was controversially eliminated just before the finale for not rhinestoning a pair of shoes. 23rd Tomara Thomas <6.57> UK5 One third of UK5's top 3, and the third placer on the season. Probably best known for her likeable personality and energetic sense of humour, awkward confessionals look that made it often appear that she had no teeth, for wearing a lot of bodysuits on the runway, and for being a great dancer. Tomara's highest score was a 10 from Nina West while Calum gave her her lowest, a 3. 22nd Isis Avis Loren <6.67> DRDU3 The winner and highest ranked queen of DRDU 3. Isis won three challenges of 7 episodes including the last two back to back, and was a good all rounder on the season. Perhaps we'll see her back helping out Michelle to host DRDU4 in Ru's absence. 21st Lala Ri <6.75> AS8 In my opinion, the most improved queen from her season to her AllStars glowup on AS8. Lala originally appeared on US13 and wasn't great at the season, never placing above safe, with her crowning moment probably being her (controversial) lipsync win against Denali, and being most known after the season for her atrocious bag design look. While I didn't agree with some praise she got on AS8, I think she improved some of her skills enough that she would have been a deserving finalist if not winner. Alas, production decided Kandy Muse deserved that storyline, and Alexis Michelle eliminated her when given the chance. Remaining queens: AS8 ♛♛♛♛ CAN4 ♛♛♛♛♛♛ UK5 ♛♛♛♛ US15 ♛♛♛♛♛

So uh. Sorry for the really long delay with this. It came at the worst possible time for me and my mental health has really been in the gutter since January, but I'm going to finish it now because I finally have the bandwidth. I hope that when next year rolls around I'll not have an absolutely awful start to the year which will help with the timing :3

It looks great Joseph! Also I wasn't aware we had different options so I've added that to mine now :3

Yes agree, it feels like Sapphira's to lose. As for Plane, she's had a good run but its wack that she has a similar track record to S9 Shea and Sasha Colby.

I think I prefer the sound of this one to My Love which was a bit repetitive. Really her career has not been handled well though. I feel like Jesy and Leigh both made the mistake of being overconfident or having too high expectations instead of working to establish themselves first.

It kinda begs the question why all of the girls shouted from the rooftops about their albums in the first place, when no such thing was guaranteed. Jade has played it well by not promising anything so far. It then makes them look a fool if what they promised and promoted never ends up materialising. I really didn't expect Leigh to repeat some of the mistakes Jesy made with her solo career if I'm honest.

I don't have something strictly lined up for this one! Maybe pop or a retro entry...

I think it's cute. I don't love her outfit, I was kinda distracted trying to work out what it is - a top or a shirt over underwear?

Its the top 4 episode and the queens have a challenge! Are we going to see a non elim episode or could this be our first (intentional) top 3 final since season 8??

I'm exhausted to see people online keeping giving her the benefit of the doubt. Reddit is bad and some other forums too. People are actually using the defence "well, she isn't transphobic because she said she isn't in her 2020 essay" as if someone's claim for whether or not they believe themself to be prejudiced should hold more weight than THEIR ACTIONS EVERY DAY WHICH COME FROM A PLACE OF PREJUDICE...

I've been here for years and I still only remember about 10 of them :lol:

kind of surprised by the Persephonia snub given their entry inspired mine this month lol

Been a while since we've had a high score from Aeroche I think

Kinda didn't expect to get medalling/double figure points this time, glad you enjoyed Peaches!

Ugh I was hoping they'd replace Barney. Bradley is good but Barney is just there off nepo and is really cringe. They could do with a woman cohost, Ulrika was so good back in the day. Season was great though! Although bullshit that all they win is a trophy, they used to get money & a car & people could really do with support these days!

Just heard this for the first time and it sounds incredibly similar to Trustfall by Pink! has she acknowledged the influence anywhere?

Houdini grew on me so that for now. Though I think if TS had been the lead that might be different

Once again I bloody wish the reporting on the story would be honest! All of the articles are framing it as a hypothetical, "if JK said XYZ would it be a crime" etc. - ignoring the fact that what she actually did was made a ton of transphobic statements, literally called named trans women men including basically doxxing people who weren't public figures and putting them in the same box as criminals, and only THEN cheerily said "arrest me if you don't like it". Frankly she's a horrible piece of work. Who does that? She's just bullying at this stage, this had gone beyond quietly believing certain things.

Sapphira, though I thought Nymphia was going to win at the start of the season!

-_- cant believe the listen was yesterday, I thought it was at the weekend

the remaining queens do the traditional top 5 makeover, this time with Drag Race Live dancers!

I meant, as opposed to having 10 threads, one for each franchise, having a total of 2 - not 20. Just as an alternate option that we could consider trialling at some point.
