I thought everyone was SO strong this week, besides obviously LaLa’s final look and a few other misses. But Kandy, MISS KANDY, my god. I don’t think I’ve ever hated a contestant so much. Her behaviour on untucked was appalling and I hope Tamisha will keep putting her in her place, a complete class act.

Just nothing there with Kandy I can find to warm to: talent aside, in contestants I need to at least like them. |

My main problem with Kandy is that I can't understand most of what she says. They could do with bringing back the subtitles!

Is Untucked on YouTube or do you mean the bits that are incorporated into the actual show? I had my suspicions last week but I think Utica maybe one to watch. Kandy Muse, dreadful but she’s funny. Bored with Tina Burner, she never changes anything up. I really like Tamisha but she’s not going to be around much longer, too old skool and slightly know-all-ish. Olivia Lux is unmemorable. Love Symone. Gotmikk could go to the final, she’s good and it would be “healing” for Ru. |

It's not legally available here in the UK until after the whole season has aired (don't know how WOW has screwed up the licensing for untucked three seasons in a row but they've managed). This week's untucked is worth searching for through less than legal means though... |

Tamasha won't take nonsense from anyone. Quite rightly so. She has seen it all.
Kandy showed her true colours and they weren't pretty.
I know this is all hyped up for the cameras but I would not want to be in a room with Kandy. Her attitude is one of arrogance.
I certainly would never pay to see her perform.

I thought that Bossy Rossy effort was never going to end 😖

It was not great.
The lack of a real audience made it much harder for the comedy to work.
Loved Denali's chandelier look. And Elliott looked great in her flapper outfit.
Symone did not wear one of the greatest ever outfits on the runway. It was basic. Well styled and on brand but basic.
I am rapidly going off Olivia. She doesn't deserve this level of praise. And she is not as nice as she pretends.
Ru is playing favourites. And it is undermining the season.

Not so much that. I saw that they synced together in the dance moves and MV and Ru were delighted by it. I’m ok with the outcome to be honest. There has to be some interest and there’s a redemption story going on here.

8 episodes in and we’ve only had 4 queens leave so far. And now it looks like they’re taking a week off and there’s no new episode this week. This season is gonna go on forever!

God I thought we were finally going to see the back of her... And then Ru dashed my hopes. (She's right about needing subtitles though...)

I don’t think she’ll be around too much longer. It was interesting to see how sad all of the contestants seemed to be when they thought she was going. Yes she’s been shown to be difficult on occasion but I think she understands what’s needed in order to make the best of the opportunity, which is to be somewhat controversial. I’m sure she’ll do really well afterwards.
I have a soft spot of Utica who is obviously just a very nice person.

Was that the worst Snatch Game on Drag Race US?
Only 3 decent with 6 awful?
Gottmik the best.

9 queens is too many for Snatch Game.
It was a strange episode yet again.
I don't think there is much star quality in the competition. Maybe one or two I would actually want to see live.

Completely agree, none of them have that, for want of a better word, X factor. I like Utica and will watch to see what she does after but that Bob Ross was awful but I will forgive that. Symone is good, love the looks I think she did ok in Snatch Game but I actually can’t remember her and I only watched it 12 hours ago. Gottmik was great in Snatch Game. I felt sorry for Elliott, he is a bit of an outsider and he suffers with depression, but Rue was terrible, he only had one catchphrase. |

I don't get the Symone love. She does not consistently offer looks that shout drag to me. A number of her runways have been essentially male attire with a wig. I know modern drag isn't about creating the fantasy of a man transforming himself into a woman. But that element is what I am looking for in a drag queen.
I think we are seeing the separation of drag into three strands: drag queens who are men who transform into women, drag kings where women transform into men and then drag performers who play with a range of identities and don't conform to the more 'traditional' forms of drag.
I don't place them into any form of hierarchy. But I do think that the differences should be acknowledged and celebrated.
My taste will always tend towards the more traditional drag queen (even when they play with those traditions in a more modern way)
I want to be entertained by more than just a look.
There is a place for all sorts of drag and long may that continue to be celebrated. But Symone - for my tastes - is more drag than drag queen. I had high hopes for Tina Burner at the start of this season but she has just not delivered.
I am really looking forward to AS6 where one of my long time favourites is back - Ginger Minj. She is an all round entertainer with good makeup and fashion skills. A great drag queen who needs to win a series!

I hate to see Kandy being kept week after week over more talented queens because the producers like the “drama” she brings. Really wish they didn’t judge in pairs because I don’t think Denali even deserved the bottom.

Denali mightn’t of deserved the bottom this week (is it just me or did she have the Lux look down) but Denali’s time was well up. To me she’s a schtick queen and kept falling back on her skating like Hytes and the ballet. Love UTICA and she looked amazing today. Symone can bring it but I don’t know if I’m buying. Agree Kandy got to go and the Burner. I like Gottmik but I don’t see DraaaaGGGG same with the Lux. Rose more like Chardony, meh. Symone, Utica and Gottmik top three but a poor season overall. |

I think this is turning out to be a very good season. I kind of fell for Rose with her The Mask look (I know lots of people hated it but that grin!) and Utica is absolutely adorable. Symone is beautiful high fashion and Gottmik’s looks are amazing. Tina and Kandy.... hmmm.
I can’t decide who I want to win!
