For me the absolute must have is Shangela! Assuming it'd be 10.. Shangela Trixie Mattel Ongina Joslyn Fox Ben DeLaCreme Kennedy Davenport Chi Chi DeVayne Thorgy Thor Valentina Trinity Taylor (assuming she doesn't win)

Just rewatching it and props to Alexis for the line of the episode tbh. 'He said Dick AND Dyke!'. I screamed! (Honourable mention to 'but how will i seem like a strong woman?' '..... vote, bitch'. Shady of the editors to leave in the bit where Nina said she was the first to ever walk backwards on the runway.. three weeks after Trinity did it.

I think people are doing way too much with Alexis, and I think the show made too big a deal that she could be bottom two, too. She was fifth, but she was a COMFORTABLE fifth. She was perfectly good in the challenge, not standing out doesn't mean she was a disaster, and we had a group of two on our hands that was. For me it was a really obvious bottom two, with a justified top two, and then a middle group where two could have had an argument for being high and one very clearly safe. Someone messaged Michelle 'demanding' to know what went on and she just went 'ummm, did you WATCH the episode?'. It spoke for itself on all counts, imo.

I thought this was one of the weaker episodes but I have a soft spot for Pep so I was very happy for her win. I have a feeling this could see her push on for the final three now. Farrah.. it was her damn but she is just so damn likeable.. the final thing we see of her being a whine was so apt! Alexis... today was a no. I DO still think she's there on merit and I think we may get a few more weeks of her, though. She's my least favourite despite the talent as there is so little warmth. I pretty much really like the final 7 bar Alexis though. Aja and Farrah going was, tbh, the right people. Sasha is doing really well and growing on me. 01. Shea - Surely one of the most consistent queens of all time. Is she bad at anything? 02. Peppermint - Just so lovely and smashed it in every way this week. 03. Valentina - Hard to hate, I loved her little 'HEY!' reaction to being read. 04. Trinity - Disappointing today, the most inconsistent - but last week (I didn't comment) stays in my mind, so good. 05. Nina - I kind of prefer her just reacting to other people's shade rather than taking centre stage? 06. Sasha - but growing on me by the week. --- 07. Alexis Ross was great. Love that Michelle not knowing she was the roastee seemed genuine. Plus points in a weaker ep!

Best song of the year so far.

Aww Miss Eureka, consistently been one of my favourites and glad to see her getting a really favourable edit in this episode, the laughing and joking with Todrick really got me, she looked so happy. I am so sad we are losing her but you can't really do all the things a Drag Queen should on crutches. Plus, this way we will potentially get more episodes out of her overall. Her video on the Logo website about the exit is the sweetest too. Yas queen! Miss Cynthia.. I absolutely live for her as boy and in natural drag setting like when Ru asked if her selfie would feature her cucu, and taking the mick out of Aja. But not knowing the words to TWO lipsyncs in ONE episode is inexcusable. She was so so lucky to make it through. Actually so was Farrah. I have come to realise that lovely as she is, she offers next to nothing. The least of anyone. I loved her absolutely sobbing as Eureka left but you can't win DR by being a lovely human. I thought this was a great episode, and if Cynthia had known the words than the musical would have rewatch value. Weird as she was on point with her steps. So weird that we got a full runway, some workroom apologies/chats, a mini challenge and the episode didn't feel rushed! Best one yet. Overall: 01 (01) Shea - Absolutely cemented this this week, I finally have a clear frontrunner, especially with Eureka gone. Killed it in both parts. (Eureka :() 02 (03) Valentina - Even when she doesn't have an episode full of moments, she still manages to shine. 03 (06) Peppermint - I've realised she is one of the best talking heads, love the faces she pulls. Great Britney, just no more pink skirts! 04 (04) Trinity - Didn't love much from her this week, middle of the pack. Inconsistent but can be great. 05 (05) Nina - Would be in the top three but for her attitude, so offputting. She is only harming herself, there were 11 people in the room, you had no divine right to be Blac Chyna and then certainly no place to be rude to a choreographer/judge because you were in a mood. Liked her runway look though. 06 (07) Cynthia - Still a soft spot for Cucu even though she disappointed me. Her Kim still made me LOL at points and I liked her runway. 07 (10) Alexis - PROPS for that Kris Jenner, was absolutely superb, even in moments she wasn't front and centre. The Untucked rant wasn't cute, and a big NO to her telling Farrah she couldn't go practice, but she climbs on merit. 08 (08) Sasha - Her Lindsay was at times funny, but her chat in Untucked about she should be registering higher, bitch you won last week! She just doesn't really connect with me. 09 (11) Aja - To be fair, she grew on me massively this week. Not even sure why, but I'm glad as I now like all the queens. 10 (09) Farrah - I've just had to realise she has nothing but a pleasant look to offer. I like that beyond Shea, who knows who will make the finale!

Yeah, unbelievably awkward. Was a real shame. 01 (03) Shea - Consistent queen. 02 (02) Eureka - Not a great episode for her personality, but she worked the challenge tbh. 03 (01) Valentina - Very pedestrian episode for her. 04 (07) Trinity - Every week a jump... she was very disappointing this episode until THAT. LIP. SYNC. yes! 05 (04) Nina - Something is off with her. The crying was just bizarre. And that did not give me nightie at all. But I still want to love her! 06 (05) Peppermint - Still like HER but heavily disappointing this week. That outfit. Very lucky to be saved. 07 (11) Cynthia - My Queen of the week, just so likable with her natural personality, I lived for her this week. PLEASE KEEP IT UP. 08 (09) Sasha 09 (08) Farrah - Was she even in this episode? 10 (10) Alexis - Consistently safe, but consistently boring. I saw a YouTube video of Charlie and Alexis and i LOVED that Alexis, but I haven't seen her on the show. 11 (12) Aja - She looked a BIT better but still not feeling her look. Glad she readjusted her attitude a little.

I enjoyed some of that episode but it feels like we haven't had a very meaty challenge yet. I hope next week will change that. The Pulse talk was really saddening, I feel so bad for Cynthia the weight she must have on her shoulders that someone went there only to see her :( In terms of the actual challenge, I largely agreed with the winners/losers. Based just on that, Trinity > Valentina > Eureka > Charlie > Peppermint > Sasha > Nina > Cynthia > Shea > Alexis > Kimora > Farrah > Aja. Valentina continues to surprise me with her comedy, her sidekick was hilarious. Trinity the same, I just did not expect this of her pre-season. Charlie and Eureka's also really made me laugh. Farrah by rights should have been bottom two, as all three of the bottom three had woeful sidekicks, but Farrah is just adorbs so I don't mind. Of the three she did give me princess the most and both her and Kimora still looked gorgeous. Aja is just a complete mess to look at, her story made no sense and she makes one weird face constantly for her 'comedy'. That said, she absolutely destroyed Kimora. Partly because of how poor Kimora was, but she was good. Not Chi Chi, Kennedy, Trinity, Coco level, but good. Overall now: 01 (04) Valentina - How can you argue, she's slaying. 02 (05) Eureka - I'm sorry, I love her. Helpful friendly queen! And her dog sidekick gave me life. 03 (02) Shea 04 (01) Nina - I still love her but I was a bit put off this week by the killjoy approach in Untucked, and also I thought the voguing as an alien was just a bit of a bizarre choice. It's hard to stan when you hardly see someone too. 05 (03) Peppermint 06 (06) Charlie - I think she was both stunning and funny but I really like my top 5! 07 (09) Trinity - Growing on me every episode.. total unexpected package 08 (11) Farrah - Personality based rise. 09 (10) Sasha 10 (07) Alexis - She gives me polished but she isn't wow-ing me. 11 (08) Cynthia - No beef with her and I loved 'c'mon English lessons' and her story, but she just isn't exciting. 12 (12) Aja Could all change next week ;)

Personally I think with the right material Jamie was the star. I almost thought he could tip over Mo and win it. In fact I hoped any of the other three finalists as I bet on them all :lol:

Okay so before episode three, here's how I rank them 01. Nina Bo'Nina Brown - Definitely the most creative/variety-showing of them all so far and can be so funny. Love her so far. 02. Shea Coulee - The most consistent across the two weeks and smashed the athleticism. One to watch/beat. 03. Peppermint - Just so lovely. I can see she hasn't shown much variety in her looks but I think she looked stunning. 04. Valentina - The surprise, as she irritated me a bit in Untucked last week. I can see the cute schtick getting a little old but there's no denying she smashed this week, looked gorgeous and massively surprised me by bringing personality to the challenge. 05. Eureka - She clearly talks too much and is abrasive but I do think she has talent to back it up and will excel in acting challenges etc. 06. Charlie Hides - Looked stunning on the runway, I hope she doesn't try and blame her age too much. Hope we get to see her funny side soon. 07. Alexis Michelle - Was not a fan of the way she spoke to Jaymes but she seems seasoned and polished generally. I liked her white look. 08. Cynthia Lee Fontaine - Seems to have stepped up her game from last season, the Cucu thing is annoying but she is harmless I think. 09. Trinity Taylor - She was my week one boot from the promos, I was surprised how much she impressed me this week. LOL at her saying she hated heights then being the girl ending up on the ceiling. 10. Sasha Velour - I think she has bags of potential and I actually really liked her look this week, with wig, even though Raja and Raven ragged on it. But I think she has more up her sleeve than we've been allowed to see yet. 11. Farrah Moan - Glimmers of potential, and seemed fairly sweet in Untucked S1, but made little impact, (Jaymes - showed little excellence but still :() 12. Aja - I still haven't been convinced that she is a polished queen. 13. Kimora Blac - I enjoyed her bitchy boy 'what are bloomers? it sounds disgusting' better than any drag she's done.

I've watched Untucked and the carpool videos and now I feel ready to give some kind of order 01. Nina Bo'nina Brown 02. Peppermint 03. Shea Coulee 04. Eureka O'Hara 05. Alexis Michelle 06. Jaymes Mansfield 07. Charlie Hides 08. Farrah Moan 09. Sasha Velour 10. Valentina 11. Trinity Taylor 12. Kimora Blac 13. Aja I do think both Sasha and Valentina are better queens than some above them, but I haven't warmed to their personalities yet. Conversely, Jaymes is far worse but I'm rooting for her.

I watched it again and came out with Peppermint, Eureka, Alexis and Nina as favourites.

I took it as confirmation it was Cynthia too, especially being shot 'from the Cucu'. Thought the first episode was a bit underwhelming but the first episode is always hard as you don't know anyone yet.. looking forward to watching again. Gaga was wonderful.

Gavin's team was probably strongest yet and any number could have made it. I would have gone with Max, Truly and Keziah based on last night, but Sarah does have a nice voice. The only one I can't fathom from Will's is Jason getting through, he absolutely ruined Into You. Michelle and Tanya were both great. Of the final 12 I'm feeling 01. Jamie 02. Into The Ark 03. Max 04. Michelle 05. Mo 06. Tanya

The nights definitely belonged to Jamie and Into The Ark.. both superb. Makes it a bit suss that they put them both on last though, ala BGT, I'd much prefer a random running order. As for the others who got through, Mo was absolutely the right choice. I was surprised by Craig.. he is good and I like his tone but I just didn't think he'd get the votes. Judges picks.. I don't think Nadine was as good as they gave her credit for and Jack was awful, though I have liked him previously so I'm not mad. I would have gone with Georgie on Saturday and Capital B last night though. Thought they were ace.

Really you'd argue they must have been desperate with a lot of the Allstars. Even being a Nicola fan, she's hardly the first name you'd call on. Coleen.. Calum.. Jasmine wasn't even on the list, lol

Yes, she turned to her when she was right next to her and said 'you ARE vile, I completely agree'. I get your wider point, generally she is more bitchy than she is forthright, but we've literally seen her just say it to Kim from two foot away! I don't think anybody came off well tonight. Maybe Jedward had a good episode, but that's about it. Nicola was very hypocritical in the diary room, calling Kim rude and aggressive and don't know how she's able to say such nasty things after she just called her scum of the earth. That said, I did think (though I don't think they meant it badly) that someone needed to say to the boys that you shouldn't say a married person is flirting (unless it's Stephanie/Jeremy-esque, obv) - I just wish it had been someone other than Nicola as than Kim wouldn't have popped off. But what Nicola said had more necessity than Kim's follow up. She's always telling people not to interfere and this wasn't about her. Kim's big faux pas was to dwell on the Coleen/James C thing when she knows full well there's nothing there. It was really low to make a big deal of that and - unlike Jedward, I think - actually mean it. Really low. Coleen does, as Jack says, do a lot of saying and not enough doing. I don't agree it's 0% do, she'll stand up when challenged, but she could do it of her own accord, tonight she just moaned a lot.

This point isn't exactly valid. Was she a waste of a housemate? I think undeniably not. Nasty, sure, but not exactly a wallflower. Those who fly under the radar to the final un-nominated, unvoted and unscathed are usually the ones to look to as waste of housemates, which is what we were talking about, 'hun'. (Obviously that was not applicable to Helen given she wasn't given the option to be voted for, but to think she wasn't a good TV booking even as a hater would be surprising)

People are saying Nicola awoke a sleeping dog though, no. Big Brother did. I do think Nicola knew what she was doing in terms of trying to just bite her tongue and make Kim look bad - but to a degree it worked. Opinion is split. better for me she do that than just bite like she usually does. I think the remark about James shouldn't have done it as he knows the type of housemate and has been a waste is such trash. I get he's not the most exciting, but we don't all want Ex on the Beach mark 2, we want a variety of housemates. He's survived two - maybe three public votes and is still here, and has been favourite to win for a while for a reason... not a waste at all.

Oh the diva comment.. fair. She was being melodramatic to call it 'wrong' though.. stealing is wrong, not wearing lycra might just be a bit precious. I was talking about her saying he is in a gang and needs to grow a set of balls. He disagreed with her, made it clear and left the room because of her. hardly cowardice.

Can't disagree more. She was nothing like spot on on James, he just doesn't like her. You can have that opinion and not be in a gang. he was first to ask Kim to stop, he wasn't following. You think it was right of her to come for Jamie so strongly when he wasn't there and Bianca said calmly (at first) that he wasn't there to defend himself and she should stop? Bianca did no wrong. Also, Coleen can be a bitch (can't we all) but to say she didn't make a peep.. she went 'oh JESUS CHRIST' very openly about four foot from Kim.

Coleen was one of the stars of the episode tonight to be fair... 'Born to rock and built to roll'.. and not her actually being quite good at singing.. I genuinely never knew!! So.. the argument. Nicola really didn't need to take the awards to a place where she was digging people out.. I was willing her to shut up as people will hate her more. HOWEVER, the way she did the nomination for Kim being naughty didn't cross the line, and I liked that she just sat there silently and let Kim do all the work because I LIVE for Kim shouting 'stop it, just stop it' as someone who is doing absolutely nothing. Nic didn't really need to push the buttons but Kim was wrong on so many levels. Whenever anyone disagrees with her, it's a 'gang', She ranted about James being in the gang when he was the first to object to her and get up and leave. That's leading, not following. She should never have gone in on Jamie anyway. B was speaking fact. Also she changed every definition of every award she won, LOL

I hear you! I am not saying it because I think it's going to change, I am sure many housemates have suffered from it in the past, I am just trying to read between the lines a bit as I think there's plenty of good in her.

Hello! haha. I can completely see why you would think that, but that's what I mean, I don't think we are getting the balance in her edit. Watching her be so constantly angry - even as a fan of hers wishing her to deal better or to see another side - is draining! But I don't believe that's the full picture, otherwise why would everyone else be so keen to hang with her? Speidi said it's not as Kim as portrayed, that she's not 'in control' of the rest of the house, they just seem to enjoy being around her.

I really hope Nicola goes that one step further and makes the final. She really doesn't put her best foot forward, a lot of the time. She needs to realise that she doesn't have to be the spokesperson in every argument, in every chat, and that sometimes she could and should bite her tongue. It would then have more effect when she did really feel she had to speak up and not just look like she was blowing up at everything that was said to her by people she didn't like. I enjoyed seeing her admit her flaws and trying to work on it at the end of yesterdays episode by singing with Jedward and having an adult conversation with Kim. I think she did well as Kim - unintentionally or not - could well have been seen to be looking for another fight then as she kept pushing Nicola on having a sadness in her even when Nicola had addressed it. She's far, far from perfect but I was quite proud of her. I actually think that she's had a poor edit - 90% of the housemates through the doors have got on really well with Nicola. 16 of the 18 housemates have had the chance to nominate - only Kim and Jedward have nominated Nicola, with the exception of the whole Speidi episode and even since then they've come out and said how great she is. And yet, we never see her having fun, or hardly ever. She speaks regularly about getting on with Jedward when they are having normal conversations, we are never shown that, and rarely shown instances of the snide comments that at least four housemates have commented on Jedward making. I think they've been given a kind edit and Nicola has suffered by only being shown as a boiling kettle ready to blow. I'm speculating, but that's how it feels. Of course that side of her has to be shown but it'd be nice to see a balance. A good example - on BOTS, when Nicola made a really bad cup of tea from Jedward and they made her test it - they showed a clip where she came back in and said 'that backfired, and then she let rip with one of her massive (annoying lol) laughs and was having a joke about how funny it was it had bit her in the arse. On the main show, the clip stopped at 'that backfired' and it was made to look as if she was really pissed. I just feel like we've not seen all sides of the coin here. AAAAAAAAAANYWAY. Not arsed Jamie went, bye! Calum has been coming across awfully in the last few days, I wonder if it'll cost him votes. Since Kim and Nicola stopped being complete enemies, she has grown on me and made me laugh. But she does the thing Hopkins did which is sort of put on a character in front of camera (not all the cameras, but the Diary Room one or if she knows she's specifically being filmed, which I find offputting) James C did nothing wrong in that statement by the way.. if anything he was praising Kim and Jedward, in saying they were big enough characters to demand a fake eviction, while Jamie wasn't. And you could tell he was trying to explain when he realised Kim had misconstrued but she wouldn't let him! WANT 01. Nicola 02. James C 03. Colleen 04. Kim 05. Jedward 06. Bianca 07. Calum THINK 01.
