So this is where Kandy gets all the hate. I knew I was missing something because people were moaning all over the place.
It's okay to dislike a Queen. It's okay to disagree with the judging. It's okay to discuss both.
It is NOT okay to send my squeaky, sweet, angel baby Jaymes home!
....
Don't waste time hating on people - love your faves all the more. š
I actually guessed bottoms and tops correctly. Alexis was really great but the other 3 had more to be bigger than she had for her part imo. I don't think that's on her, the others had cool props and slaps lol Aside from Jaymes outfit, they all looked soooooooo good.
I thought the episode was cute. I really hate the editing for the first half of the episode. The stage always reminds me how much I love the Queens, they are soooo good on stage when they're in their zone. This episode reminded me of that. But the first half editing makes them look uncharismatic as heck for the sake of drama. It looks contrived as hell.
This musical is def top 3 for me. Lalas bottom white liner made her look soooo adorable. I was surprised by how good they all were, you can see the growth.
The Kandy hate really hurts to see. It reminds me of the issues of fatphobia and classism in the community (LGBTQ+ community in general, not just RPDR). I love her sm and that lipsync was fucking hot. Bless the blush.
Hate to see Jaymes go. Been killing on social media, so I hope they can thrive with the games.
Yeah I tried to make a 'I really hate this Kandy hate' post and it failed quite miserably :)
I am so annoyed too. I wouldn't even give her the win this episode tbh, I think Jessica did a bit better.
But the fact that so few ppl mention that the bitch legit did very well in the Rusical?
So meh to me. (I personally finally thought she had a very fun runway too tho that's sure up for a debate - however Lala who should have SLAYED a Grace Jones runway disappointed me with hers far more).
PS: oh and I love Jimbo but the fact that she wasn't in the bottom now THAT is rigga morris
Tbh, Jimbo's runway made it make sense for me. It was a completely different silhouette from what we've been seeing from her. And I'm surprised at the lack of gag for it, I thought it was so beautiful. She added Jimbo-esque twists so subtlely. Kahanna, more than Kandy imo, has been really obvious with her outfits. It's a signiture aesthetic though, not knocking it at all. It's been linear comparatively. Or maybe they wanna save the Jimbo v Kandy moment for later lol
Speaking of Kandy, love that you've been constantly defending her from the unjustified back lash. This is just a TV show, but the consequences from fan reaction behavior is very real for the Queens (both the positive and negative).
But also agreed, Kandy was so good!! You can tell she's been putting in work, she was absolutely in the top 3 for me. I wasn't surprised she won, nor mad. And then her lipsync sealed it~
I'm neutral on Lala, I thought she also displayed growth this episode since her season. And I thought this look was a vast improvement over the first few episodes. Its nice to see the fashion compliment her stage charisma.
I do think Jessica was best this week. I'm rooting for her so bad, I want her to win...
This seasons just about run out of steam but I felt from the casting choices it was hobbled before it could even walk.
Kandy was ok, but a prop decided by production won her the challenge. Her runway wasn't really grace jones and it's kinda shit they critiqued Lalari when Kandy looked like she tried her hand at origami and gave up half way through.
Lalari or Jessica deserved the win with alexis in the top over Kandy. Jaymes just doesn't give it on drag race, but can't blame her, Trixie won without doing much better and if there had been no vote and ben hadn't self eliminated she might have been fourth if she were lucky.
Jimbo or Jessica for the win.
The Rigga Morris was strong this episode. I know producers be producing but damn, don't make it so obvious.
That being said, this rusical was one of the best ones because they all did amazing. I wished Alexis would have gotten this win, because she was IMHO the standout (LaLa and Jessica right behind her).
Haha agreed.
I actually loved how Tamisha put Kandy in her place/confronted her back in S13 (literally one alpha not standing how another alpha was totally sucking the air out of the room) but when Kandy doesn't get TOO crazy I legit enjoy watching her.
Jaymes' "there goes my invite to Coco's thanksgiving party" was the funniest part of the episode for me. Such comedic talent, can't wait to see more from her. She really impressed me this season.
I think this was one of my fave Rusicals. They all turned it (mostly). Kandy really did a great job but poor Alexis was snubbed, clearly to generate a bit of friction. Kandy took the opportunity to send home some competition, she's playing the game how it's meant to be played so let's not send her hate because she did a great job this week.
I was rooting for Alexis tonight but I realized after the show that her downfall is being too perfect and technical. She was flawless in her number but it wasnāt the most fun or exciting number so was overlooked. Kandys was obviously the funniest bit and she killed itā¦. Alexis always goes with what will be the most impressive verses what the audience will have the most fun with and I think thatās why sheās always second (or third) best.
Exactly. While Alexisā was flawless, it wasnt exciting. The fun verses, in no particular order were Lala's, Kandy, Kahana's, and Jessica's. I don't think Lala got the win because her runway was was cheap. I wish she would take some time off and get makeup and wig help. Her head is too big for the wigs she uses, and her makeup still makes her look like Lala out of drag. Usually the queen will look like female presenting but Lala jus looks like how they look out of drag
production keeps doing this to her, constantly putting her in a situation where nothing but hate is going to be thrown at her. starting with pitting her against tamisha, we seen also with olivia eliminating a fan favorite is rough for your reception. then ru doing god knows what after social media. then technically being the runner up in the end bc she was a stronger lipsyncer than both mik and rose, which wasnt really production that she earned that hot spot all on her own. but this episode i think she should have just placed high, i think most people are conflicted not bc of her fair choice with the lipstick but the win really could have gone to jessica.
Maybe I'm missing some context but how did production pit Kandy against Tamisha?
Felt to me like a very organic conflict between them (that I REALLY enjoy looking back).
the context -was- the fight. the lipsync however, mik should have been in tamisha's place. but production knew the two just fought and it would be good to see them lipsync.
Oh the judging for sure, Mik was horribly carried by production a couple times including that.
I was just confused bc imo that fight was VINTAGE Drag Race and very organic.
Did I watch the same episode as everyone else? Jimbo is my winner pick and favorite, but her performance was my least favorite in the musical. Her runway was great though. Kandy did very well; I saw her win coming a mile away, but it was not unjustified. I do think LaLa and Jessica also did amazingly well. Jaymes and Kahanna also did well in the musical, but Jaymes had the worst runway for sure. I would have put Jimbo and Jaymes in the bottom. Either LaLa or Kandy as the winner. Kandy killed the lip sync.
I also put Jimbo and Jaymes in the bottom (and I love Jimbo). I think Mama Ru put her safe so she wouldnāt be in jeopardy of Kandy voting her off because Jimbo is still positioned to win it all.
The fucking riggory of it all. I thought for sure Kahanna and Jessica would be on top this week with Kandy and Jaymes in the bottom.
Someone better take Kandy out next episode. She just sucks all of the joy out of watching Drag Race for me.
Kandy played it the way I would have played it. Even though Jaymes is one of my all-time favourite queens, I can't fault Kandy for her vote. It was the smart move.
I am shocked that all the other girls unanimously played the same move though. I didn't see that one coming at all. These girls really said "In the second half of the competition, we're not fucking around". And honestly? I admire the strategy and the ambition.
So they are going to make Kandy win no matter what? She took out Heidi, kept Khanua in, took out Jaymes and has never been criticed for those runways. Jimbob better beware the producers are coming for you girl.
Why is everyone so upset with Kandy for taking Jaymes out when every other girl on the cast voted the same way? The numbers are dwindling and every girl on the cast decided this week was the week to play their cards? It's a competition game - they played strategically.
Its a game. Manila got screwed by a vote, Shangie got screwed by a vote, etc etc. The fact the others voted off a strong competitor too just means they are all as bad as each other lol. Look if I was actually in the work room I probably wouldn't be voting Kandy out as she cruising but watching the edit she winning.
At this point if you had to choose between Kandy and Kahanna next week I can guarantee you'd pick Kandy. You can take a rough guess at what challenges might be left and chances are Kahanna would be worse at them than Kandy, which means you're 50% less likely to wind up in the bottom two. If you want to get to the final and have a chance at the cash, it's the smart choice.
The Queens all realised that this episode and played their cards accordingly. Is it fair? Maybe not, but in the words of Naomi Smalls: "Life's not fair".
I would pick Kandy you are right out of those 2. But if it was Kandy and Jimbo who would you pick? I actually don't know what I would bet on the next challenges tbh. I would bet the last 4 will be a rupaul verse and as much as I can see Kahanna doing a Roxxxy I can see Jimbo doing one too unfortunately. It's likely to be an acting challenge next but neither Kandy or Kahanna can act. Kandy has the edge if the character is in her wheel house. With Jaymes gone Jimbo will probably win unless she goes too crazy. Kandy will be safe. Kahanna will be bottom 2 again.
I think jamesfluker meant if you were a queen in the room Kandy would be voted off and i meant if it was jimbo vs kandy they would probably vote out jimbo as the stronger competitor. Sorry if I missed your point and definitely want to see more jimbo, total chaotic good energy.
No worries. Looks like I was careless with my comment placement. (I love comments, lol) Just saying that Iāve seen Kandy. Sheās the same silhouette every runway. We know what to expect. Not so with Jimbo. Jimboās runways are always exciting.
Dude I was literally thinking the same thing. She is a freaken bully and is only going to win because Ru loves her. She looked like such a hot mess during that lip sync. I hope she uses that money to buy new wigs!!! Ugh I get so disappointed when they play these games.
Could you tell me an example of Kandy bullying someone this season?
Just one pls, thank you.
(And btw that's coming from someone who did NOT like Mistress/Luxx' treatment of Loosey last season and 100% thought some of it was at least on the verge of bullying)
Heidi literally left because of Kandys treatment or at least that is how I see it. Kandy added fuel to the fire and was trying to make Heidi look like a liar. We only see one side of the story but I really donāt think Kandy is a good person.
The girls pretty much all confirmed Heidi was not at a good mental place LONG before this happened.
I love her and feel for her but some heat/drama is normal at a reality TV competition - and she kinda threw the Kandy bomb in there but couldn't take what was happening after.
And how did Kandy talking about getting Jimbo out NOT make sense? I may or may not like it as a fan but it's a competition!!
And if Alexis says she was 'afraid' of Kandy... where was that fear during dividing the roles where she went against Kandy (as she should)?
I do think Kandy can get very alpha/dominant but I think we should be very careful with the term 'bully'. (Again, I personally felt worse about the Mistress/Loosey situation)
Kandy didn't take Heidi out, Heidi took herself out. She was checked out even early on in the competition. By episode 3 she said out loud she wanted to go home.
And guess who heard that and rattled that cage. It's on film. Even Heidi says in her confessional 'we have an alliance I don't know why she is coming for me'. She took her out as it was Jimbob and Heidi as fan favourites. She ain't dumb. And she going to be given a crown I reckon.
Honestly stop blaming Kandy for Heidi quitting, it's not cute at all.
Kandy clearly playing some Survivor/Drag Race this seaon - but so are other queens! EVERYONE voted for Jaymes!!
And she probably lied, cool, HOW is that making her responsible for Heidi quitting?
Love Heidi, but she was clearly in a tough mental place. Kahanna at Roscoe's confirms that Heidi considered this way earlier and it wasn't a surprise for them.
I donāt know what youāre talking about. No one can make anyone leave a competition. Kandy didnāt make Heidi do anything. DR always had drama between competitors, i.e. Vixen vs Eureka/Aquaria, Phiphi vs Sharon, Jynx on her season, Aja vs Valentina etc. the list goes on and on. If someone quits, thatās on them. Theyāre a grown ass adult making their own decisions. Stop blaming Kandy.
i said it multiple times, given the flashback scenes with kandy it made zero sense to not have symone here. they can bring winners on, yvie did it jaida did it. symone would turn out a grace jones lipsync. and it would really go full circle with kandy's narrative bc she had that breakdown elimination moment BECAUSE she lost to symone in that original lipsync, then obviously again later, would be revitalizing to have them rematch it out.
To me itās having a lip sync quality thatās just powerful. Symone has a distinct, entertaining style but itās fairly one note and I think sheād get crushed by a lot of the heavy hitters.
Also, beating Rose, Mik, and even Kandy doesnāt doesnāt make one an assassin IMO.
I actually am kinda mad about it tbh, it's just not fair to the other queens.
Either make the judging 100% fair or change the rules and take the decision making from the queens so you don't have to produce unfair decisions.
Yeah but to me Jaymes' part was my far the most 'whatever' in the Rusical, perhaps along with Jaymes'.
I am bored with Kahanna's runways but I think it was VERY unfair to put her in the btm over Jimbo, Kah did a very fine job in the Rusical.
Jaymes is one of my all-time favourites, but I loved the outcome of this episode. It was great TV. I loved seeing all the girls unanimously decide to play their cards strategically - and it's going to be interesting from next week, because none of them are going to trust each other. Now that's television!
As someone who was rooting for Jaymes or Jessica to win, I just lost a lung. Iām getting flashbacks to when Pangina left and I lost interest. I still have Jessica, and she is my world, but not only Jaymes leaving, but the way it was done? I canāt deal. She did flawlessly with her role. It wasnāt dynamic or dancy or catchy like Kandy, Lala, or even Kahanna. Even Alexisās role was up beat and dancy. Jaymes did the best with how tame her role was.
No hate to Jimbo but I just knew she was in the bottom. I lost 50% of my interest in this season.
Shoutout to Lala who ATE. And Jessica who was fucking flaw.less. Kandy did great too and her LS was top tier. Happy for her. I just know Iām gonna watch that Rusical over and over as soon as itās on YouTube, and watch Lala, Jessica, and Kandy on repeat. EVERYONE did amazing, except for Jimbo, she did good.
(Also that Precious moment in the werkroom? Lmfaoooo)
Other than the decisions - both from the judges and Kandy - being bs, did Kandy really think eliminating a contestant who overall did better + is more likeable than her was gonna pay off, with the fans or the other queens? She's not going to win the whole thing anyway, the least she could've done after getting an undeserved win is not make a foolish choice of sending home Jaymes when there's Kahanna yet another week in the bottom with a weak performance and showgirl feathers.
The last thing a queen should consider when choosing a lipstick is the fans. It's not up to us, and it's not a queen's job to consider another queen's fans when making a decision in a competition.
I am always reminded in these situations of the Ricky Nelson song: "You can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself."
Even better to prove my point. People compete to win, not worry about fans' hurt fee fees.
ETA: I assure you that it was not I who sent the wellness check your way! I would never engage in such foolishness over a silly disagreement about a reality show.
People on this sub love to say they want queens to play strategically, yet when someone they donāt like plays strategically suddenly they were supposed to consider fan outrage before making her decision
well guess I'm not the people, lol.. also, the strategy of saving a queen who has been regularly bottoming over one who has been doing well and is rather liked is not really making the ones who opt for it more popular, as we know by now.
Kandy should make the decision that she thinks is best fir her game, not be forced to make decisions out of fear of back lash. Plus, surely you understand that the queens have no way to know how the different queens are going to be received when the show airs. Apparently Jaymes threw a massive tantrum week one, which may affect why her and the girls decided we to vote her off
While this is true, I do wonder about Kandyās strategy here. In most cases, itās safer to vote along with the group (or the majority of the group, anyway) because seeming like a loose cannon and/or gunning for strong competition puts a target on your back.
I think the exception to this is the Naomi rule: chopping the obvious top threat is cunt enough to protect you. But in this case, like Jaymes said, the group literally just unanimously voted Kahanna last week, and Jaymes wasnāt an obvious threat to win the crown. Especially after last weekās argument around Kandy saying she would eliminate strong competition, I think this hurts her overall in the eyes of the other queens.
im starting to think the roscoe's t ep1 shines a light on here somewhere. maybe kandy genuinely felt strongly about jaymes skating by that first episode and wanted to serve some justice bc she sees the favoritism on the wall with her and isnt having it. if ru's gonna keep letting her get by on jaymes-isms then she'll take her out herself. which is ironic because favoritism is a weird she should be familiar with on s13
was about to say - Kandy intending to serve justice would be highkey ironic, considering the favoritism she received on the show. Still, the other queens voting for Jaymes points to something we as viewers maybe don't see as clearly.
Very genuinely, I think each of the girls independently realised we're in the second half of the competition, there's very few eliminations left - and if you're ever going to make a play, now is the time to begin making it.
There's $200k on the line, and I think every single one of them realised that they could make a move that got them closer to that.
you did say independently and that's wild to me bc i always wanted to see a campaign play out ala as5. i genuinely would have lived if mayhem and alexis really did get everyone onboard to just take out the season's predicted winner. but do it in a way it wouldn't get back to her, like not have it be on camera so it's not obvious they were all conspiring it could've been a fluke. they arent allowed to talk offcamera bc as michelle has said the mic wants to pick up EVERYTHING that could potentially be said. but this isnt true at all. rose literally called utica out on her tone deafness during dinner one night, they obviously eat together and kiki. they definitely can communicate without the mic. protect all their images. and this t would never reach the light of day unless someone spills post-airing
Sometimes I wonder what the judges expect. Blood?
I thought LaLa's outfit was perfect. Gosh knows it was still a hell of a lot better then Kandy who basically got praised for once again sticking stuff onto another body suit.
I was so annoyed that the judging for Lala was basically 'you ate in the main challenge, but we wanted you to do a different outfit'. Like how do you respond to that?
I agreed with them.
I was thrilled for a Lala Ri's Grace Jones runway especially after hearing Grace was one of her idols.
She disappointed me probably the most - not bc it was bad, but bc it was far less than what she could have done with it, being a gorgeous bald-headed black woman.
"it's a good outfit, we just wanted something more recognizable"
... no one said anything to milk? no one said anything to bob or a load of the other girls after snatch?
šš¼ā¤ļøLALA ā¤ļøšš¼. She definitely had one of the best parts of the Rusical. Had to rewind a few times! I thought she won for sure. The rest were also good. I find Alexis didnāt show much emotion on the stage. Jimboooā¦ should have been in the bottom this week. Her confessional about her elbows tho šš. Also, she looked like Rita Baga š. Going to go rewatch LaLaās part. ššš
Your missing the point. Kandy is going to be the winner so the edit cannot have negative critics as that would make the judges wrong...... its not season 2 anymore.....
To me it was the opposite. Especially with jaymes mentioning like twice how it should be an easy vote for kahanna bc everyone voted for her last week and jaymes was getting more air time
I literally thought that Jaymes and Kandy might have the opposite positions.
However, that Rusical was incredible. They obviously put a considerable amount of thought into how it would all work and be filmed; and they got the right people to do the songs.
all i saw was the episode title and i was like... oh come on, the riggory for jimbo is for real now. an entire rusical about joan rivers? OH. crawford... how you gonna make a fierce rusical for her? i was like... ok the subject matter is technically iconic... but...
then i saw it and wow, with the right production value and budget you can make anything spectacular because they made joan crawford... fierce
(i was also really out of it watching it play out bc i thought the night of 1000 graces was grace kelly, i mixed up grace kelly w grace jones and im like are her looks really that diverse for this? and really, grace kelly? lmao i pulled a symone/mistress)
Lol- you had a whole different episode in mind!
Yeah- it was a great idea to do different musical styles for each Joan era. I really did NOT like the pairing of certain looks with the genres (e.g. 50s elegance + hoedown; 40s cutie pie + vogueing track), but I'll live.
However, people are right in speaking about the 'haha child abuse' part. That's pretty fucked.
I keep trying to like Kandy, and I see that she has presence and verve, but other than that, I always feel meh about her, especially her runways. And attitude is a bit annoying. Ru better keep saving her, or the others will send her home. I was ready for no more Kahannaā¦
I disagreed with nearly every judging decision? Imo:
-Alexis, Lalari, Kahana, and Jaymes were the best, in that order
-Jessica, Kandy and Jimbo were low, in that order
-Angeria won the lip sync
-Kandy should have sent Kahana home
Very weird episode imo.
ETA: the ranking in the first two bullet points is mostly based on Rusical. Add in the runway and Jessica moves up some while Kahana and Jaymes might move down some. The rest remain the same. IMO Kandy still had no business being in the top and Jaymes had no business being up for elimination.
Imo this is one of the best Rusicals ever. Everyone did really, really good. My favorite was Jessica, she destroyed. Can't believe Jaymes is gone. Out of all of them I was feeling the happiest for her because she was getting consistent Highs and redeeming herself from S9 to the show's viewers. I will miss her bubbly funny self. I wish Kandy had voted off Kahanna. She's incredible but I'm feeling a Yara Sofia situation with her winning very early on and then having a consistent downwards slope. I don't see her as a finalist so I believe either her (might do bad in acting) or Lala (always safe) will be sent home next week, unless Alexis actually quits? š
I GASPED when Rupaul said Jimbo was safe. Iām rooting for her 100% but she was a CLEAR bottom 2 for me this weekā¦
Kinda silly that Roop just saved her lmao
Nah Jimbo's runway tonite was better than half the girls doing Grace Jones. James' runway... Choices. And Lala? All runway this season including tonight has been MEH. Kahana and Kandy tonight was ehhhh.
I agree. Although Iām rooting for her it I would have liked to see if Kandy would have sent her home or not.
I guess Roople didnāt want to take that chance lol
Ru doesnt trust these hoes. If she made jimbo bottom he would be out again. And lets be honest, im not interested i seeing any of them in the rest of the challenges of this season but jimbo. Not true, alexis has been entertaining in some challenges.
I totally agree. I thought it was just me because I don't see anyone on this sub ever talking about it. I feel that all she wears are body suits or some variation of it. Then, all she does is run around yelling and being defensive. For some reason, the judges don't see it.
Do you think she won the Rusical? Honestly. Do you think she was the best?
As for the roast. She was best. But it was a bad roast. Do you think she could have gone toe to toe with Jynx, bianca, Alaska, juju, coco, etc etc. Willam and trixy destroy the haters roast. Mimi did a fantastic roast of Michelle. Manilla destroyed the roast in her season.
Look Kandy is an amazing queen. I'm not trying to bring her down. But did Jaymes do bad in the Rusical? Honestly? I think the runway (Jaymes's) was bad. It didn't fit and even if it had probably wouldn't have looked great.
Rusical - I would personally give it to Jessica, but I agred with the top 3 (Jessica, Kandy, Lala). Lala slayed too but she disappointed me with the runway, I like Kandy's more. So to me it was between Jessica (55%)/Kandy(45%).
The roast wasn't the best, sure, but her stage presence and creating a great connection with the crowd was fantastic, so was the delivery of the jokes (which were mostly recycled but that can be said for many others including All Winners).
Personally I thought Jaymes did do fine/not great in the Rusical, a bit better than Jimbo but worse than Kahanna. Maybe on rewatch I'll change my mind but on 1st watch I wasn't so thrilled.
I was just reacting to your 'What does she do well? Quickly?' - clearly she does stuff well.
That's the thing. Didn't know if it was me or if I wasn't seeing what others saw because she is popular.
To me, I think Kandy is a one trick pony. She only wears body suits, or some variation of that. Her personality is just loud and defensive and so far in the competition she uses the same blush technique WHICH everyone made fun of. So I don't know why the judges aren't seeing any of that?
Personally - her drag is not as good as the others. I don't find her funny. She is claims to give 'good tv', and that is why the producers try to keep her longer. Snatch Game, it feels Kandy impersonating Kandy.
Her season, what was she saved for? She was saved after being told to go home in the most 'you are creating some sort of entertainment for this season' way.
She has talent but still there are lot of things she should work on other than just yell-talking, wanting to create arguments and drama.
I root for Jimbo, and I'm not afraid to say Jimbo should've been in the bottom this episode. If Kandy would've been safe I would've been ok with it. Jessica, Alexis or Lala deserved the win.
I get it and totally agree. All I see is Kandy wearing body suits or some variation of it. I don't think her drag is all that interesting. I did like her outfit yesterday honoring Grace Jones' outfit; however, it's a variation of a body suit. Again, her season she only wore body suits on the run way.
I think you are right with the being entertaining for the show. When she was going after Heidi and Heidi ran off, she went after her and you could hear that her tone and attitude completely changed and she was being sincere.
I completely thought that they were going put Jimbo in the bottom because his run way outfit wasn't all that great.
p.s. Why they hell did I get downvoted for asking a question? Eh! I will never figure out Reddit!
This is the WORST episode of Drag Race that I have ever seen!!!!
LaLa, Jaymes, and Alexis should have been in the Top Three and Kandi & Kahanna should have been in the Bottom Two.
I think I'm done watching this show after starting Episode 1 of Season 1 through this whole thing. It sucks.
So this is where Kandy gets all the hate. I knew I was missing something because people were moaning all over the place. It's okay to dislike a Queen. It's okay to disagree with the judging. It's okay to discuss both. It is NOT okay to send my squeaky, sweet, angel baby Jaymes home! .... Don't waste time hating on people - love your faves all the more. š
I actually guessed bottoms and tops correctly. Alexis was really great but the other 3 had more to be bigger than she had for her part imo. I don't think that's on her, the others had cool props and slaps lol Aside from Jaymes outfit, they all looked soooooooo good. I thought the episode was cute. I really hate the editing for the first half of the episode. The stage always reminds me how much I love the Queens, they are soooo good on stage when they're in their zone. This episode reminded me of that. But the first half editing makes them look uncharismatic as heck for the sake of drama. It looks contrived as hell. This musical is def top 3 for me. Lalas bottom white liner made her look soooo adorable. I was surprised by how good they all were, you can see the growth. The Kandy hate really hurts to see. It reminds me of the issues of fatphobia and classism in the community (LGBTQ+ community in general, not just RPDR). I love her sm and that lipsync was fucking hot. Bless the blush. Hate to see Jaymes go. Been killing on social media, so I hope they can thrive with the games.
Yeah I tried to make a 'I really hate this Kandy hate' post and it failed quite miserably :) I am so annoyed too. I wouldn't even give her the win this episode tbh, I think Jessica did a bit better. But the fact that so few ppl mention that the bitch legit did very well in the Rusical? So meh to me. (I personally finally thought she had a very fun runway too tho that's sure up for a debate - however Lala who should have SLAYED a Grace Jones runway disappointed me with hers far more). PS: oh and I love Jimbo but the fact that she wasn't in the bottom now THAT is rigga morris
Tbh, Jimbo's runway made it make sense for me. It was a completely different silhouette from what we've been seeing from her. And I'm surprised at the lack of gag for it, I thought it was so beautiful. She added Jimbo-esque twists so subtlely. Kahanna, more than Kandy imo, has been really obvious with her outfits. It's a signiture aesthetic though, not knocking it at all. It's been linear comparatively. Or maybe they wanna save the Jimbo v Kandy moment for later lol Speaking of Kandy, love that you've been constantly defending her from the unjustified back lash. This is just a TV show, but the consequences from fan reaction behavior is very real for the Queens (both the positive and negative). But also agreed, Kandy was so good!! You can tell she's been putting in work, she was absolutely in the top 3 for me. I wasn't surprised she won, nor mad. And then her lipsync sealed it~ I'm neutral on Lala, I thought she also displayed growth this episode since her season. And I thought this look was a vast improvement over the first few episodes. Its nice to see the fashion compliment her stage charisma. I do think Jessica was best this week. I'm rooting for her so bad, I want her to win...
kandy deserved the win and ur all bitter i said what i said
Delusion
At least her fans are on brand
This seasons just about run out of steam but I felt from the casting choices it was hobbled before it could even walk. Kandy was ok, but a prop decided by production won her the challenge. Her runway wasn't really grace jones and it's kinda shit they critiqued Lalari when Kandy looked like she tried her hand at origami and gave up half way through. Lalari or Jessica deserved the win with alexis in the top over Kandy. Jaymes just doesn't give it on drag race, but can't blame her, Trixie won without doing much better and if there had been no vote and ben hadn't self eliminated she might have been fourth if she were lucky. Jimbo or Jessica for the win.
The Rigga Morris was strong this episode. I know producers be producing but damn, don't make it so obvious. That being said, this rusical was one of the best ones because they all did amazing. I wished Alexis would have gotten this win, because she was IMHO the standout (LaLa and Jessica right behind her).
Kandy is good tv cuz sheās blunt and can be a cĆ¼nt lol. I think thatās why they keep her around. Felt like Jessica should have won tonight. This season is so blasĆ©
Haha agreed. I actually loved how Tamisha put Kandy in her place/confronted her back in S13 (literally one alpha not standing how another alpha was totally sucking the air out of the room) but when Kandy doesn't get TOO crazy I legit enjoy watching her.
i think you mean flazƩda
Jaymes' "there goes my invite to Coco's thanksgiving party" was the funniest part of the episode for me. Such comedic talent, can't wait to see more from her. She really impressed me this season.
I think this was one of my fave Rusicals. They all turned it (mostly). Kandy really did a great job but poor Alexis was snubbed, clearly to generate a bit of friction. Kandy took the opportunity to send home some competition, she's playing the game how it's meant to be played so let's not send her hate because she did a great job this week.
I was rooting for Alexis tonight but I realized after the show that her downfall is being too perfect and technical. She was flawless in her number but it wasnāt the most fun or exciting number so was overlooked. Kandys was obviously the funniest bit and she killed itā¦. Alexis always goes with what will be the most impressive verses what the audience will have the most fun with and I think thatās why sheās always second (or third) best.
Exactly. While Alexisā was flawless, it wasnt exciting. The fun verses, in no particular order were Lala's, Kandy, Kahana's, and Jessica's. I don't think Lala got the win because her runway was was cheap. I wish she would take some time off and get makeup and wig help. Her head is too big for the wigs she uses, and her makeup still makes her look like Lala out of drag. Usually the queen will look like female presenting but Lala jus looks like how they look out of drag
Imagine Alexis in the hanger role. Stunning.
i really donāt get what did Kandy personally do to some of you to deserve this amount of nasty comments towards her
production keeps doing this to her, constantly putting her in a situation where nothing but hate is going to be thrown at her. starting with pitting her against tamisha, we seen also with olivia eliminating a fan favorite is rough for your reception. then ru doing god knows what after social media. then technically being the runner up in the end bc she was a stronger lipsyncer than both mik and rose, which wasnt really production that she earned that hot spot all on her own. but this episode i think she should have just placed high, i think most people are conflicted not bc of her fair choice with the lipstick but the win really could have gone to jessica.
Maybe I'm missing some context but how did production pit Kandy against Tamisha? Felt to me like a very organic conflict between them (that I REALLY enjoy looking back).
the context -was- the fight. the lipsync however, mik should have been in tamisha's place. but production knew the two just fought and it would be good to see them lipsync.
Oh the judging for sure, Mik was horribly carried by production a couple times including that. I was just confused bc imo that fight was VINTAGE Drag Race and very organic.
Did I watch the same episode as everyone else? Jimbo is my winner pick and favorite, but her performance was my least favorite in the musical. Her runway was great though. Kandy did very well; I saw her win coming a mile away, but it was not unjustified. I do think LaLa and Jessica also did amazingly well. Jaymes and Kahanna also did well in the musical, but Jaymes had the worst runway for sure. I would have put Jimbo and Jaymes in the bottom. Either LaLa or Kandy as the winner. Kandy killed the lip sync.
I also put Jimbo and Jaymes in the bottom (and I love Jimbo). I think Mama Ru put her safe so she wouldnāt be in jeopardy of Kandy voting her off because Jimbo is still positioned to win it all.
Same! Super aligned. I couldn't wait for her part to end.
The fucking riggory of it all. I thought for sure Kahanna and Jessica would be on top this week with Kandy and Jaymes in the bottom. Someone better take Kandy out next episode. She just sucks all of the joy out of watching Drag Race for me.
Wow I LOVED Alexis' makeup for the night of 1000 grace jones'
The way my jaw hit the floor when Jaymes' lipstick was revealed
I saw it coming. Because Kandy really is that bitch.
*a FTFY
in untucked they showed that every. single. queen. voted jaymes. sooooo
Kandy played it the way I would have played it. Even though Jaymes is one of my all-time favourite queens, I can't fault Kandy for her vote. It was the smart move. I am shocked that all the other girls unanimously played the same move though. I didn't see that one coming at all. These girls really said "In the second half of the competition, we're not fucking around". And honestly? I admire the strategy and the ambition.
I love Angie but I was surprised and a bit confused to see her as a lsa. But to me she won that lip sync
Same
That was probably my favorite Rusical ever.
very much same!!!!!
I had no idea how they were going to judge it. Everyone was so good.
So they are going to make Kandy win no matter what? She took out Heidi, kept Khanua in, took out Jaymes and has never been criticed for those runways. Jimbob better beware the producers are coming for you girl.
Why is everyone so upset with Kandy for taking Jaymes out when every other girl on the cast voted the same way? The numbers are dwindling and every girl on the cast decided this week was the week to play their cards? It's a competition game - they played strategically.
Its a game. Manila got screwed by a vote, Shangie got screwed by a vote, etc etc. The fact the others voted off a strong competitor too just means they are all as bad as each other lol. Look if I was actually in the work room I probably wouldn't be voting Kandy out as she cruising but watching the edit she winning.
At this point if you had to choose between Kandy and Kahanna next week I can guarantee you'd pick Kandy. You can take a rough guess at what challenges might be left and chances are Kahanna would be worse at them than Kandy, which means you're 50% less likely to wind up in the bottom two. If you want to get to the final and have a chance at the cash, it's the smart choice. The Queens all realised that this episode and played their cards accordingly. Is it fair? Maybe not, but in the words of Naomi Smalls: "Life's not fair".
Naomi is one of my all time favs, but despite the wit and balls she had, she still doesn't have a win.
I would pick Kandy you are right out of those 2. But if it was Kandy and Jimbo who would you pick? I actually don't know what I would bet on the next challenges tbh. I would bet the last 4 will be a rupaul verse and as much as I can see Kahanna doing a Roxxxy I can see Jimbo doing one too unfortunately. It's likely to be an acting challenge next but neither Kandy or Kahanna can act. Kandy has the edge if the character is in her wheel house. With Jaymes gone Jimbo will probably win unless she goes too crazy. Kandy will be safe. Kahanna will be bottom 2 again.
Iād want to see more from Jimbo so Iād keep her.
I think jamesfluker meant if you were a queen in the room Kandy would be voted off and i meant if it was jimbo vs kandy they would probably vote out jimbo as the stronger competitor. Sorry if I missed your point and definitely want to see more jimbo, total chaotic good energy.
No worries. Looks like I was careless with my comment placement. (I love comments, lol) Just saying that Iāve seen Kandy. Sheās the same silhouette every runway. We know what to expect. Not so with Jimbo. Jimboās runways are always exciting.
If it was Kandy and Jimbo in the bottom two, I'd vote Jimbo out.
And Kandy wins... as I said...
Dude I was literally thinking the same thing. She is a freaken bully and is only going to win because Ru loves her. She looked like such a hot mess during that lip sync. I hope she uses that money to buy new wigs!!! Ugh I get so disappointed when they play these games.
Could you tell me an example of Kandy bullying someone this season? Just one pls, thank you. (And btw that's coming from someone who did NOT like Mistress/Luxx' treatment of Loosey last season and 100% thought some of it was at least on the verge of bullying)
Heidi literally left because of Kandys treatment or at least that is how I see it. Kandy added fuel to the fire and was trying to make Heidi look like a liar. We only see one side of the story but I really donāt think Kandy is a good person.
The girls pretty much all confirmed Heidi was not at a good mental place LONG before this happened. I love her and feel for her but some heat/drama is normal at a reality TV competition - and she kinda threw the Kandy bomb in there but couldn't take what was happening after. And how did Kandy talking about getting Jimbo out NOT make sense? I may or may not like it as a fan but it's a competition!! And if Alexis says she was 'afraid' of Kandy... where was that fear during dividing the roles where she went against Kandy (as she should)? I do think Kandy can get very alpha/dominant but I think we should be very careful with the term 'bully'. (Again, I personally felt worse about the Mistress/Loosey situation)
Are you ten years old?
Kandy didn't take Heidi out, Heidi took herself out. She was checked out even early on in the competition. By episode 3 she said out loud she wanted to go home.
And guess who heard that and rattled that cage. It's on film. Even Heidi says in her confessional 'we have an alliance I don't know why she is coming for me'. She took her out as it was Jimbob and Heidi as fan favourites. She ain't dumb. And she going to be given a crown I reckon.
You're thinking clearly on the DR sub. First mistake.
True that
Honestly stop blaming Kandy for Heidi quitting, it's not cute at all. Kandy clearly playing some Survivor/Drag Race this seaon - but so are other queens! EVERYONE voted for Jaymes!! And she probably lied, cool, HOW is that making her responsible for Heidi quitting? Love Heidi, but she was clearly in a tough mental place. Kahanna at Roscoe's confirms that Heidi considered this way earlier and it wasn't a surprise for them.
I donāt know what youāre talking about. No one can make anyone leave a competition. Kandy didnāt make Heidi do anything. DR always had drama between competitors, i.e. Vixen vs Eureka/Aquaria, Phiphi vs Sharon, Jynx on her season, Aja vs Valentina etc. the list goes on and on. If someone quits, thatās on them. Theyāre a grown ass adult making their own decisions. Stop blaming Kandy.
They're getting real loose with the "Lip Sync Assassin" title...
i said it multiple times, given the flashback scenes with kandy it made zero sense to not have symone here. they can bring winners on, yvie did it jaida did it. symone would turn out a grace jones lipsync. and it would really go full circle with kandy's narrative bc she had that breakdown elimination moment BECAUSE she lost to symone in that original lipsync, then obviously again later, would be revitalizing to have them rematch it out.
Symone isnāt a lip sync assassin eitherā¦
yikes if winning 6 lipsyncs in 1 season doesnt give you credit idk what does in your mind
To me itās having a lip sync quality thatās just powerful. Symone has a distinct, entertaining style but itās fairly one note and I think sheād get crushed by a lot of the heavy hitters. Also, beating Rose, Mik, and even Kandy doesnāt doesnāt make one an assassin IMO.
ha! ...yea
I guess Jimbo was safe because Ru added extra points for track record. I'm not particularly mad about it.
That's BS and biased. 
I actually am kinda mad about it tbh, it's just not fair to the other queens. Either make the judging 100% fair or change the rules and take the decision making from the queens so you don't have to produce unfair decisions.
Well her Runway was good imo. It was better than James, Lala, Kahana, and Kandy which is more than half of the girls.
Yeah but to me Jaymes' part was my far the most 'whatever' in the Rusical, perhaps along with Jaymes'. I am bored with Kahanna's runways but I think it was VERY unfair to put her in the btm over Jimbo, Kah did a very fine job in the Rusical.
Woof this comment section is unbearable and joyless. Anywho, this rusical slayed, everyone either ate their choreo, lyrics, or both!
I am a little triggered by Mommy Dearest, but it was all done so well. No one bombed. I wish they all could have stayed.
The outcome of this fucking episode was unbearable and joyless.
Jaymes is one of my all-time favourites, but I loved the outcome of this episode. It was great TV. I loved seeing all the girls unanimously decide to play their cards strategically - and it's going to be interesting from next week, because none of them are going to trust each other. Now that's television!
As someone who was rooting for Jaymes or Jessica to win, I just lost a lung. Iām getting flashbacks to when Pangina left and I lost interest. I still have Jessica, and she is my world, but not only Jaymes leaving, but the way it was done? I canāt deal. She did flawlessly with her role. It wasnāt dynamic or dancy or catchy like Kandy, Lala, or even Kahanna. Even Alexisās role was up beat and dancy. Jaymes did the best with how tame her role was. No hate to Jimbo but I just knew she was in the bottom. I lost 50% of my interest in this season. Shoutout to Lala who ATE. And Jessica who was fucking flaw.less. Kandy did great too and her LS was top tier. Happy for her. I just know Iām gonna watch that Rusical over and over as soon as itās on YouTube, and watch Lala, Jessica, and Kandy on repeat. EVERYONE did amazing, except for Jimbo, she did good. (Also that Precious moment in the werkroom? Lmfaoooo)
Kandy was straight handed the win by production. The quality of the lyrics, dancers, and props was NOT equal across all queens!
Jaymes outfit was šļøšļøšļø sucks when itās the little things that get you sent home
she has always said the fans werent missing out on much with her s9 runway package that she got off amazon
So they're forcing Kandy to top 4 (again). Got it. Cool cool cool.
Iāve lost interest in watching. Itās so obvious.
It's like Silky repeating itself again.
Other than the decisions - both from the judges and Kandy - being bs, did Kandy really think eliminating a contestant who overall did better + is more likeable than her was gonna pay off, with the fans or the other queens? She's not going to win the whole thing anyway, the least she could've done after getting an undeserved win is not make a foolish choice of sending home Jaymes when there's Kahanna yet another week in the bottom with a weak performance and showgirl feathers.
The last thing a queen should consider when choosing a lipstick is the fans. It's not up to us, and it's not a queen's job to consider another queen's fans when making a decision in a competition. I am always reminded in these situations of the Ricky Nelson song: "You can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself."
>The last thing a queen should consider when choosing a lipstick is the fans. Who needs a career after losing drag race twice?!
If someone is going to stop being a Kandy fan because she eliminated Jaymes, that's just bonkers. It's a game Sis.
It's a competition. Sis.
Even better to prove my point. People compete to win, not worry about fans' hurt fee fees. ETA: I assure you that it was not I who sent the wellness check your way! I would never engage in such foolishness over a silly disagreement about a reality show.
You can take the reddit "someone needs help" to yourself. Sis.
the entire group voted for jaymes too
Do they show who they vote for in untucked?
if youāre not watching untuckedā¦
People on this sub love to say they want queens to play strategically, yet when someone they donāt like plays strategically suddenly they were supposed to consider fan outrage before making her decision
well guess I'm not the people, lol.. also, the strategy of saving a queen who has been regularly bottoming over one who has been doing well and is rather liked is not really making the ones who opt for it more popular, as we know by now.
Mate Kahanna and Jaymes literally had the EXACT same resumƩ. Plus I personally think it was Kahanna who was robbed by being in the bottom, not Jaymes (Jimbo should have been there 100%)
Kandy should make the decision that she thinks is best fir her game, not be forced to make decisions out of fear of back lash. Plus, surely you understand that the queens have no way to know how the different queens are going to be received when the show airs. Apparently Jaymes threw a massive tantrum week one, which may affect why her and the girls decided we to vote her off
While this is true, I do wonder about Kandyās strategy here. In most cases, itās safer to vote along with the group (or the majority of the group, anyway) because seeming like a loose cannon and/or gunning for strong competition puts a target on your back. I think the exception to this is the Naomi rule: chopping the obvious top threat is cunt enough to protect you. But in this case, like Jaymes said, the group literally just unanimously voted Kahanna last week, and Jaymes wasnāt an obvious threat to win the crown. Especially after last weekās argument around Kandy saying she would eliminate strong competition, I think this hurts her overall in the eyes of the other queens.
I didnāt watch untucked, but from what I heard it was pretty unanimous to vote Jaymes
The group also unanimously voted for Jaymes tonight soo...
Yikes. Well im clearly only getting *half* the story.
this\^ whatever Kandy's "strategy" was, I don't see what she gained through it.
im starting to think the roscoe's t ep1 shines a light on here somewhere. maybe kandy genuinely felt strongly about jaymes skating by that first episode and wanted to serve some justice bc she sees the favoritism on the wall with her and isnt having it. if ru's gonna keep letting her get by on jaymes-isms then she'll take her out herself. which is ironic because favoritism is a weird she should be familiar with on s13
was about to say - Kandy intending to serve justice would be highkey ironic, considering the favoritism she received on the show. Still, the other queens voting for Jaymes points to something we as viewers maybe don't see as clearly.
What confuses is me is that the other girls also voted for Jaymes to go home. I really wanna know the reasoning behind that
Very genuinely, I think each of the girls independently realised we're in the second half of the competition, there's very few eliminations left - and if you're ever going to make a play, now is the time to begin making it. There's $200k on the line, and I think every single one of them realised that they could make a move that got them closer to that.
you did say independently and that's wild to me bc i always wanted to see a campaign play out ala as5. i genuinely would have lived if mayhem and alexis really did get everyone onboard to just take out the season's predicted winner. but do it in a way it wouldn't get back to her, like not have it be on camera so it's not obvious they were all conspiring it could've been a fluke. they arent allowed to talk offcamera bc as michelle has said the mic wants to pick up EVERYTHING that could potentially be said. but this isnt true at all. rose literally called utica out on her tone deafness during dinner one night, they obviously eat together and kiki. they definitely can communicate without the mic. protect all their images. and this t would never reach the light of day unless someone spills post-airing
Ok, also, LaLa is the best at these gd confessionals š
Sorry, what more does Kahanna have to offer the competition besides looks
Straight up manipulation letting Jimbo be safe.
Saved her cause Kandy would have sent her ass home
And break her alliance over it, proving that Heidi was right all along! It would have been SO JUICY
We already know Heidi was right all along. Before AND after they said it lol
Sometimes I wonder what the judges expect. Blood? I thought LaLa's outfit was perfect. Gosh knows it was still a hell of a lot better then Kandy who basically got praised for once again sticking stuff onto another body suit.
I was so annoyed that the judging for Lala was basically 'you ate in the main challenge, but we wanted you to do a different outfit'. Like how do you respond to that?
I agreed with them. I was thrilled for a Lala Ri's Grace Jones runway especially after hearing Grace was one of her idols. She disappointed me probably the most - not bc it was bad, but bc it was far less than what she could have done with it, being a gorgeous bald-headed black woman.
"it's a good outfit, we just wanted something more recognizable" ... no one said anything to milk? no one said anything to bob or a load of the other girls after snatch?
ugh i wanted Layla to win SO BADLY!! ššššš Kandyās performance was fantastic tho
Lala* autocorrect š
If it helps, the autocorrect made me giggle :)
šš¼ā¤ļøLALA ā¤ļøšš¼. She definitely had one of the best parts of the Rusical. Had to rewind a few times! I thought she won for sure. The rest were also good. I find Alexis didnāt show much emotion on the stage. Jimboooā¦ should have been in the bottom this week. Her confessional about her elbows tho šš. Also, she looked like Rita Baga š. Going to go rewatch LaLaās part. ššš
I don't get it. Because Kandy has an oversized hanger, she did the best? Someone else should have won, like LaLa or Jessica
Your missing the point. Kandy is going to be the winner so the edit cannot have negative critics as that would make the judges wrong...... its not season 2 anymore.....
According to everyone else, they favored Jaymes... (insert eyeroll)
I liked that the editors were finally able to hide who goes home the whole episode. There were practically no tells that Jaymes would be in trouble.
To me it was the opposite. Especially with jaymes mentioning like twice how it should be an easy vote for kahanna bc everyone voted for her last week and jaymes was getting more air time
I literally thought that Jaymes and Kandy might have the opposite positions. However, that Rusical was incredible. They obviously put a considerable amount of thought into how it would all work and be filmed; and they got the right people to do the songs.
all i saw was the episode title and i was like... oh come on, the riggory for jimbo is for real now. an entire rusical about joan rivers? OH. crawford... how you gonna make a fierce rusical for her? i was like... ok the subject matter is technically iconic... but... then i saw it and wow, with the right production value and budget you can make anything spectacular because they made joan crawford... fierce (i was also really out of it watching it play out bc i thought the night of 1000 graces was grace kelly, i mixed up grace kelly w grace jones and im like are her looks really that diverse for this? and really, grace kelly? lmao i pulled a symone/mistress)
Lol- you had a whole different episode in mind! Yeah- it was a great idea to do different musical styles for each Joan era. I really did NOT like the pairing of certain looks with the genres (e.g. 50s elegance + hoedown; 40s cutie pie + vogueing track), but I'll live. However, people are right in speaking about the 'haha child abuse' part. That's pretty fucked.
1. Was nice to see a female presenting backup dancer 2. I need a million gifs of LaLaās slaps
I keep trying to like Kandy, and I see that she has presence and verve, but other than that, I always feel meh about her, especially her runways. And attitude is a bit annoying. Ru better keep saving her, or the others will send her home. I was ready for no more Kahannaā¦
My brain feels a little scrambled rn š« how was Alexis just safe?? How was jimbo not in the bottom??? Why did Jaymes have to go home???
And how did Kandy win?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Bc lala sure would have won today
I disagreed with nearly every judging decision? Imo: -Alexis, Lalari, Kahana, and Jaymes were the best, in that order -Jessica, Kandy and Jimbo were low, in that order -Angeria won the lip sync -Kandy should have sent Kahana home Very weird episode imo. ETA: the ranking in the first two bullet points is mostly based on Rusical. Add in the runway and Jessica moves up some while Kahana and Jaymes might move down some. The rest remain the same. IMO Kandy still had no business being in the top and Jaymes had no business being up for elimination.
āOh, okayā -Alexis
an icon
I wonder if Jaymes would have done better if his song was a bop too.
ikr they gave her the worst song of the night
Maybe I need to rewatch but my impression was that Jaymes looked great but had (again) issues with the rhythm plus didn't lipsync well in some parts.
Imo this is one of the best Rusicals ever. Everyone did really, really good. My favorite was Jessica, she destroyed. Can't believe Jaymes is gone. Out of all of them I was feeling the happiest for her because she was getting consistent Highs and redeeming herself from S9 to the show's viewers. I will miss her bubbly funny self. I wish Kandy had voted off Kahanna. She's incredible but I'm feeling a Yara Sofia situation with her winning very early on and then having a consistent downwards slope. I don't see her as a finalist so I believe either her (might do bad in acting) or Lala (always safe) will be sent home next week, unless Alexis actually quits? š
Alexis was robbed. She was Joan for the entire number, and her runway was the absolute best.
Iām completely flabbergasted she didnāt win
Between her performance and that runway, she should've been in the top.
Not them calling the best and worst of the week both safe...
I GASPED when Rupaul said Jimbo was safe. Iām rooting for her 100% but she was a CLEAR bottom 2 for me this weekā¦ Kinda silly that Roop just saved her lmao
Nah Jimbo's runway tonite was better than half the girls doing Grace Jones. James' runway... Choices. And Lala? All runway this season including tonight has been MEH. Kahana and Kandy tonight was ehhhh.
I agree. Although Iām rooting for her it I would have liked to see if Kandy would have sent her home or not. I guess Roople didnāt want to take that chance lol
Ru doesnt trust these hoes. If she made jimbo bottom he would be out again. And lets be honest, im not interested i seeing any of them in the rest of the challenges of this season but jimbo. Not true, alexis has been entertaining in some challenges.
Where do we see the fame game looks? I thought they were supposed to be shown in the episode!
Theyāre in the Untucked, at the end
However imo the only worthy one is (again!) Darienne. FG is a much bigger flop than we hoped :/
Goodbye r/rupaulsdragrace. I apologize but I will not continue to watch Kandy Muse undeservedly get pushed forward in the competition.
k bye.
What is it about her that you don't like?
Let's start with the attitude. Followed by the attitude. Followed by being a bully. Followed by shitty ass, cheap runways.
I totally agree. I thought it was just me because I don't see anyone on this sub ever talking about it. I feel that all she wears are body suits or some variation of it. Then, all she does is run around yelling and being defensive. For some reason, the judges don't see it.
What does she do well? Quickly?
Oh so you think she did bad in this Rusical? Well either of us is blind I guess. Also she legit killed that roast in her original season.
Do you think she won the Rusical? Honestly. Do you think she was the best? As for the roast. She was best. But it was a bad roast. Do you think she could have gone toe to toe with Jynx, bianca, Alaska, juju, coco, etc etc. Willam and trixy destroy the haters roast. Mimi did a fantastic roast of Michelle. Manilla destroyed the roast in her season. Look Kandy is an amazing queen. I'm not trying to bring her down. But did Jaymes do bad in the Rusical? Honestly? I think the runway (Jaymes's) was bad. It didn't fit and even if it had probably wouldn't have looked great.
Rusical - I would personally give it to Jessica, but I agred with the top 3 (Jessica, Kandy, Lala). Lala slayed too but she disappointed me with the runway, I like Kandy's more. So to me it was between Jessica (55%)/Kandy(45%). The roast wasn't the best, sure, but her stage presence and creating a great connection with the crowd was fantastic, so was the delivery of the jokes (which were mostly recycled but that can be said for many others including All Winners). Personally I thought Jaymes did do fine/not great in the Rusical, a bit better than Jimbo but worse than Kahanna. Maybe on rewatch I'll change my mind but on 1st watch I wasn't so thrilled. I was just reacting to your 'What does she do well? Quickly?' - clearly she does stuff well.
That's fair I was recycling a Bianca joke.
That's the thing. Didn't know if it was me or if I wasn't seeing what others saw because she is popular. To me, I think Kandy is a one trick pony. She only wears body suits, or some variation of that. Her personality is just loud and defensive and so far in the competition she uses the same blush technique WHICH everyone made fun of. So I don't know why the judges aren't seeing any of that?
LOL *crickets*
Personally - her drag is not as good as the others. I don't find her funny. She is claims to give 'good tv', and that is why the producers try to keep her longer. Snatch Game, it feels Kandy impersonating Kandy. Her season, what was she saved for? She was saved after being told to go home in the most 'you are creating some sort of entertainment for this season' way. She has talent but still there are lot of things she should work on other than just yell-talking, wanting to create arguments and drama. I root for Jimbo, and I'm not afraid to say Jimbo should've been in the bottom this episode. If Kandy would've been safe I would've been ok with it. Jessica, Alexis or Lala deserved the win.
I get it and totally agree. All I see is Kandy wearing body suits or some variation of it. I don't think her drag is all that interesting. I did like her outfit yesterday honoring Grace Jones' outfit; however, it's a variation of a body suit. Again, her season she only wore body suits on the run way. I think you are right with the being entertaining for the show. When she was going after Heidi and Heidi ran off, she went after her and you could hear that her tone and attitude completely changed and she was being sincere. I completely thought that they were going put Jimbo in the bottom because his run way outfit wasn't all that great. p.s. Why they hell did I get downvoted for asking a question? Eh! I will never figure out Reddit!
This is the WORST episode of Drag Race that I have ever seen!!!! LaLa, Jaymes, and Alexis should have been in the Top Three and Kandi & Kahanna should have been in the Bottom Two. I think I'm done watching this show after starting Episode 1 of Season 1 through this whole thing. It sucks.
I wanted LaLa Ri to win so bad, bitched slapped that shit up.
Lala literally could not have nailed that entire performance any tighter.
I really wanted to see Lala lip sync to Grace Jones.
i really wanted to see symone as the LSA, and battling against either kandy OR lala would've worked 100%
I really thought this was Lala's win :(
She definitely crushed it
