Somehow Silky manages to survive. At least she was in the bottom this time though. I don't think Nina should have gone though i do get her critiques from the judges this week.

It didn't feel fair all over.
Brooke didn't shine so bright that she should have won. None of them deserved the win.
Bottom two should have been Yvie v Silky
Ripped denim does not couture make. And to be fair to Silky, I don't think she could have done much with Soju who just has no presence and is so far from Silky's ways for it to be a near impossible challenge. Brooke knew what she was doing there.

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
For me this was a very disappointing makeover challenge. Wheres the connection and bonding with their new partners, wheres the sad backstories? This was just dull recycled drame that didnt go anywhere.
That result was SO wrong. I have never been more nervous during a lipsynch than i was in this episode. Granted neither of them were particularly great, but at least Nina gave character all the way through. Silky just clutched the wall and flopped on the floor. But so many thing wrong with this episode. Vanjie should have won the challenge, Yvie and Silky should have been in the bottom 2 and Silky should have gone (for Souju's make up alone) I loved the slapping mini challenge and their shady comments, but I'm gutted Nina has gone.

And what happened to Silky promising she could slay anyone in a lipsynch?? There's no way she makes it to the final.

I've thought/feared from very early on in the season that Silky was being set up to win it. Brooke has been the most consistent and probably deserves it, but after Sasha Velour and Aquaria, I can't see a third skinny white queen winning. (Which is clearly why Monet X Change was crowned alongside Trinity on All Stars.)
Vanjie and Akeria won't win. I thought Yvie was in with a chance for a while but she's faded in the past few weeks. I reckon the show wants to crown a big POC, regardless of whether she deserves it.

Nina was never going to win this and let’s face it, those runway looks were hideous. Yvie’s weren’t much better but you could argue that there was a fashion element to them. Nina’s were just clown suits.
Silky’s Lipsync was terrible too. What was she doing climbing up the set with her black knickers showing? Dreadful! I think her confidence has taken a serious knock now, and Ru is clearly calling her out in the workroom chats.
They should do the slap challenge every season 😬

I feel like Silky is really being set up to win this and it’s just a farce. I just hope that that shambles of that lipsynch has given Ru a pause.
She becomes even less likeable if you watch Untucked.
On the other hand, did y’all see Vanjie’s mum?

On the other hand, did y’all see Vanjie’s mum? They definitely seem to be setting her up to be top 4 but I think Brooke is the clear leader of the pack (just by virtue of the fact that they gave her another win in this makeover instead of Vanjie despite Vanjie's win giving a more logical end to her story line). I hope I'm wrong though because to me Brooke seems like the most boring option of the lot. She's very polished but she doesn't excite me in any way. I don't want a repeat of Green Book winning best picture (although Brooke winning would anger me a lot less than that). |

Don't worry, even if silky makes the top 4 they would no way let her win.
Finale is filmed with the audience, and they would not let rupaul leave that auditorium alive if she won

If they have a lipsynch finale as they have for the past few years, Silky has zero chance. Hopefully she won't even make the final.

I believe the final is being filmed this week - so there has been a huge gap between the announcement of the top 4 and then actually filming the final (more than 6 months)
And there is talk that this final won't feature a lipsync for the title..
They will, as usual, film each of the top 2/3/4 winning and then choose later (or fudge it as they did with AS4)

OK - the initial rumours were wrong - it is a multiple lipsync final
I can post spoilers if anyone would like to see.

Please can nobody post spoilers from the finale episode, until it has actually aired. If you want to share spoilers please do it on private message, think it’s a little unfair to post them on here when the episode hasn’t aired yet as I don’t want to see anything spoiled before the finale airs  |

That is why we have the spoiler tag - no-one need see the spoiler unless they actively click on things.
Plus no-one can spoiler the actual result as that will only be known when it airs (as they film multiple endings for that very reason)

The What’s The Tee podcast has been car crash listening for the last two weeks. They document Ru and MV’s time in London (recording RPDRUK but no juicy info on that)
It’s a mixture of cringe as they get everything wrong about London, and hand over the mouth horror as they describe their privileged, entitled escapades.
Example: Visage moaning about not getting the tax back on her Primark shopping because the Virgin Upper Class entrance at Heathrow doesn’t have a tax free desk.
These two have turned into complete monsters.

I can't say I disagree with the top 4 based on that episode. With the lipsync, one of them fought for it, the other just did her usual schtick and seemed to give up half way through (particularly with any attempt to mouth the lyrics) - plus that was an unflattering colour on her.
I do wish they didn't add to the wait by having the reunion episode as a standalone week. I would much prefer that come out on the Sunday ahead of the finale - just to wrap this all up. This has been a long, long season. And considering we went almost straight from Season 10 to All Stars 4 to this - it has been drag overload in some respects (and we still have Drag Race UK to come in the not too distant future)
Strange there hasn't been much speculation about season 12 queens - but no doubt that will start up soon

The right 4 for the final (but still miss Nina): the leaver had done well but doing the same week in week out got a bit tedious. I was a bit of a blubbering Brenda with the queens’ advice to their younger selves.

ugh. The show has become SO over produced. Now it's all about creating drama for the show and not about the talent on display.
They are desperate to give Silky some kind of redemption edit and her 'forgiving' Yvie and the others felt forced and came out of nowhere. Its almost feels like she was told to apologise by the producers.
Of course this episode was going to end with a Brook Lyn VS Vanjie lipsynch. It's what the producers wanted and Brook Lyn wasn't even the worst this week.
Silky seemed to have a much smaller part in the video than the others and whilst other were criticised for not being great, Silky got a pass. If she wins it won't be because of talent.
Yvie looked gorgeous in the video and from the judges comments, could be a contender for top 2.

I don't like Brooke Lynn as much after the reunited episode. Yvie to win 🤞.

Rajah came off worst from the whole episode - a really unpleasant personality. Akeria was similarly revealed to be more shady than she would like to pretend to be.
I had forgotten a good number of the early leavers - they really were the red shirts of the series. Pointless fillers.
I do want Brooke to win (now that Nina is gone) - Yvie is a performer, yes, but she is not what I want from a drag queen. Brooke is a more traditional style of performer but she has a keen eye for fashion, an incredible physical presence and real beauty. We have had enough quirky winners.
