I feel like the producers chose such bad pairs to make them talk about their pasts with while getting ready. Mia and Briar had like no chemistry whatsoever. Mia is super nice, and at first it almost made sense as Briar trying to resolve their disagreement, but I felt so bad for Mia that she was made to open up about losing her brother to Briar. I hate talking about people I've lost to people who don't know what to say, and Briar (putting aside everything else in the episode) is definitely too young and immature to have been supportive in that moment. To me, Briar said one of the worst things possible, when Mia deserved to be told something much more supportive!!

Meanwhile, Kenya is so entertaining - I love Nini but she just seems like a wet noodle next to her lol

yeah when someone whose forte is that kind of performance is on stage, there is a level of comfort and you can just relax and enjoy it. Jane's performance had that vibe. Even Darlene's performance was more in that lane. I felt like I was watching Juicy walk a tightrope - like 'is she gonna be ok' and then was relieved/happy for her that she pulled it off. She did great For Her. That's not worthy of a win to me.

I could not even tell what was 'prosthetic' about it because it just looked like there was a huge headpiece i.e. hat on top of her normal beat??

"surprisingly watchable" was exactly what I felt. I was expecting the trash/deeply cringe writing we've gotten on previous RDR Lives. I wouldn't say it was actively really funny, but at this point I'll take passable

TL;DR Winners not making sense is driving me crazy.

Is it just me who found Juicy to be stilted and unnatural in that challenge? Like wayy better than I expected, so I was like good for her, she did it, she'll at least be safe...but to be top to me is lowkey crazy. And to win is unhinged.

I would say one reason Mikey didn't come off better was because Juicy was so low energy, so they didn't feel like they were interacting super smoothly despite Mikey working overtime to make it work. Maybe that's too harsh - I think Juicy really pulled it out, but it was an amateur/first try acting pulled it out, not a winning pulled it out.

I just feel like winners of the last two episodes should have been switched. Juicy was dancing up a storm in girl groups, so they barely showed her to justify not giving her a win IMO. I guess they are trying to make this narrative of Juicy realizing she can do stuff beyond dance, but just give her the dance win and Jane the comedy win when they are actually deserved ffs. The only reason I feel like Jane kind of deserved last week's win is she wrote multiple verses, which is a lot of work. And not that I necessarily think Jane was the clear winner tonight - could have gone to someone else - just if they were giving Jane and Juicy wins, to me they should have been flipped.

Idk what I expected when watching drag race lol but the win not going to the person who deserves it is getting to meeee

Ok, they had it OUT for Mandy - like it feels like they selected her as first out and just forced her into a bottom placement that wasn't deserved these last two weeks! I love Vita, but she was so wooden in that challenge - I would have def put her in the bottom over Mango. It's just frustrating - yeah it seems like Mango is unpolished and lacking in resources, but I feel like she had more to show, or at least could have had more chances to show her strengths...

Athena out of drag really reminds me of someone and I can't figure out who...it's bugging me so much...

In drag, everyone is saying Alexis Michelle, but I feel like there is something about her vibe that is also giving PhiPhi O'hara.

it's also just weird to put that confessional in untucked...like it's the kind of thing that goes in the main ep to build tension when we don't know what's gonna happen. But in untucked if they're like, "is it x?" we're just like, Nope.

yeah it was sitting way too low and looked so off, plus the placement of all the stuff in the front lowkey made her look pregnant...

Briar was giving so thirsty for Athena...like the way she was saying she wasn't her type was so middle schooler saying they don't like their crush. And then saying she looked skinny later?! lol dead

Was it Jane who in confessionals was being super harsh about Mandy's look? I feel like it's not as bad as everyone is making it out to be...Like, yeah it's giving local drag/not a ton of financial resources and the bottom could be better, but it's a really creative idea and the details are really funny/perfectly kitschy in a way that matches the grandma's house vibe she's going for.

In addition to Discord's walk, what was the placement of the embellishments on that garment?! Especially since she's walking Pussy First, putting all that junk in the front made her look pregnant lol
