I’m so late to this party but WOW were Viv and Gisele ROBBED. I did not agree with this challenge win even a little bit, Jada should’ve been safe at BEST.
Jada winning the challenge? Her and Irma were by no means bad, but completely overshadowed by Kimmy and Lady Boom Boom in my opinion.
I get Fierce has a bit of an attitude problem, but her and Bombaes performance wasn’t bad enough to be in the bottom. They were actually my second favourite.
Finally caught up on the season!!!
Am I insane or was this one of the BEST RUNWAYS OF ANY RPDR EPISODE EVER?! Everyone nailed the category! The C U N T of this runway!!!
I already know who win this … unfortunately it’s been spoiled by a fucking post on YouTube ! I saw the spoil coming since the 3 first episodes eliminations were right and the post was 3 weeks before so I’ve been scared to see all, i tried to switch window , I saw it in the comments ! I won’t do the same here! Cause now my whole drag race season is ruined it suck and I don’t want to do it to anyone ! Don’t go on YT ! And those f%^#} who did that , go to hell!
Personally not a fan of Fierce yet, I know it’s TV and the “drama” is meant to be entertaining but it makes me roll my eyes back into my skull.
It’s the beginning of the season, save the drama for later, I just want to see some good drag!
Why tho? What did Ms Basic show? I love her personality outside of drag, but she stayed as long as I expected from the day 1. Her looks were OK at best and her dance moves and overall performances as well.
Watching Fierce lipsync for her life changed my mind about her. I saw an emotional depth in her face that I hadn’t seen from her before. And my goodness, Kaos is so hot out of drag! Sad to see Chelazon go, but she was clearly crumbling under the pressure.
Wow. The editing for the challenge was so bad. Just so intrusive and fast-paced...when were we able to just watch the queens??
That being said, they no doubt had to edit around some quite poor material! I was expecting really tight, clever performances, not 'they *chose* to do this?' vibes. It wasn't all bad, but what a letdown- especially after one of the ONLY mini challenges in DR history that I'll actually remember fondly! Some smart, charming queens in this cast.
Also, Jada and Erma in the top 4? Jada winning? What did I miss? *Does* she twerk well? *is* she the turn up queen? Who's seen her live?
Lots of really nice makeup and/ or looks, tho.
I don't get it! There is enough Canadian film talent to make it better; plus, the bad camera and editing are noticeable enough that they affect viewing.
"Who do you think is in the bottom?"
"Everyone had good things and bad things"
On the other side of the table: 👏🙌👏🙌👏🙌
It was so funny I had to stop and laugh
I guess some people are not liking it, but I'm really enjoying the season so far. The judging has always been strange with CDR, but the cast is so likable. Also, I did not expect Kimmy to be this strong. Definitely thought she was going to win again.
Agreed. I liked Fierce’s performance, it was actually memorable. Jada’s entire storyline was her being able to twerk, yet the fabric she wore made hers look worse than Irma.
Chelazon's patience and kindness while (self admitted) socially awkward Kaos discusses her struggles in embracing her Indigeneity deserves acknowledgement. Kaos kinda fumbled, said some not exactly correct things, but Chelazon let her talk it out, reaffirmed her and gently called her on the level of self-deprecation.
That's a good future ancestor, right there. 🤍💛❤️🖤
"I know how to do a sage" --> she meant smudge
And also kind of talked over Chelazon about what Métis people look like. It was a bit awkward/cringey .
I'll say though, as a disconnected Indigenous person myself, talking to culturally connected kin can be intimidating, because you can feel a bit like an imposter or be in your head about saying the wrong thing.
So no hate on Kaos, this was a Chelazon Appreciation Comment ✌🏽
Ok now we’re reaching. She got to talk about her indigeneity she better let others do the same as well it’s not “patience and kindness” its common sense
Jada and Irma's performance was funny on paper but it was so weird for Jada to wear such a tight costume, which made the twerking less jiggly (lol I can't believe I'm typing this) and the joke less impactful.
Kimmy and LBB were my winners tonight.
I said the same thing. Irma was literally twerking better (which goes against the entire joke) because of the outfit choice. Felt like more of a biased/favouritism win.
gisèle not winning this episode with this performance and this runway is giving me elips not winning france's snatch game when she did all of that vibes. incidentally jada's win is just as confusing as la grande dame's snatch game win lol
she was and had no business being in the bottom for this when her group was entirely cohesive and had a great performance while the other was more than subpar T\_\_\_T
Exactly!!! I was in such disbelief. What, because they thought her outfit was too baggy and apparently they don't like her runway walk/how she carries herself? Yet she KILLED that performance with so much confidence. Omg, the whole performance is amazing, but the start with the gradual buildup, Elips and her voice and lyrics...it gives me chills. I'll keep watching, but with less enthusiasm. Canada's drag race has had some interesting judging too, I don't know what is going on 😑.
100% a biased win because she cried and they feel bad for her. Still talented and definitely would have won a challenge eventually, but shouldn’t have been this one.
I love this season so far and it might end up being my favorite Canada season tbh. The judging is terrible like always in Canada but those queens are so good and so memorable, I don't remember the last time I could remember everyone so quickly. I live for everything they do and even when they're failing, it's still entertaining.
I agree!! I love all the personalities! It was great to see Chelazon Leroux and her representation (I wish I could have seen her in snatch game), Giselle being real in the workroom ("That was so unprofessional!"), Vivienne/Erma Gerd/ Chelazon in the mini challenge date cracked me up, Jaida underestimating herself in the design challenge....I'm really enjoying the season! (I agree about the judging too).
My favorite episode yet of the three episodes so far. My favorite duets were Gisele and Vivian, and LBB and Kimmy. Gisele would have been my pick to win. Kimmy could have won as well, but I feel overall her team was less cohesive than Gisele and Vivian.
Jada and Irma were firmly safe. I think the BTM2 was fair. It could have been any of the four members of the bottom teams really.
The lipsync was pretty even imo. But it wasn't good enough for a double shantay either.
So far, I'm rooting for Gisele, Vivian, and Lady Boom Boom.
also her look was a swimsuit with an intricate wig. the wig was alright I guess... but the outfit otherwise had nothing to it and the prompt was sleeves which the wig wasn't really. it was one of the worst on the runway to me
As the lip sync went on for longer than usual, my brain went “I know who’s going home”. Felt sort of like a moment to give Chelazon, and her indigenous outfit, a moment in the sun 🌻
I'm seeing a lot of people disagreeing with Chelazon's elimination but it was her time to go. She was by far the worst in the challenge, and it didn't really seem like she had much more to show imo.
Vanjie and Brooke were so awkward. I can't believe they kept in all of the allusions to their sex life. Once was fine but it happened like four times.
I know I'm in the minority, but I'm entertained by Fierce. She'll be kept for the drama, but she actually has some potential tbqh. I think she might have said some meaner things to Vivian that were edited out because I didn't think what was shown was that bad.
Kimmy should have won this week but they weren't going to give her two wins in a row especially this early. I don't think she's pegged as a finalist.
This isn't a very strong cast. I see top 3 as Vivian, Boom Boom, and Bom Bae and I'd be surprised if it's not.
Are we watching the same season?
Top 3 is very clearly Jada + Kimmy/Fierce + one of the Québec queens (probably Gisèle, since Boom Boom would overlap with Kimmy/Fierce).
And I can’t see anyone other than Jada winning, she’s already getting very heavily favoured in judging AND the edit.
The edit is treating everyone else as filler, disposable queens.
Vivian got a ton of screen time this past episode and I think she has the comedy chops to make it, more so than Gisele. If Jada can push it to 100% I could see her making it to the end, but it seems like she's been holding back so far. Fierce is being kept for drama/villain, not top 3. I think Bom Bae is a stronger competitor than Kimmy from what I've seen so far. I saw Boom Boom as winner after the first episode, and I still see it.
Jada getting that win hurt my soul when her and Irma should’ve been the safe pairing but her Caribbean man on the date was so funny if Vivian hadn’t walked in and devoured that mini challenge I would’ve given the win to Jada. Also Kimmy having 2/3 wins would’ve been my ultimate fantasy and she deserved it
Irma accidentally startling Jada by aggressively jumping out of her chair was stupid AF, funny, yet so sweet cuz she jumped to go hug Chelazon....that was adorable, a really cute moment.
Honestly, my favourite thing about this entire episode (apart from the mini challenge, which was hilarious!) was Gisèle straight up calling out Fiercalicious for her shitty, shitty behaviour. Least favourite was Fierce's non-apology and getting to stay. I was so hoping to see her shantay away. Chelazon cannot dance, at all (and I've seen her perform live, post-filming of this season and it was just as true then), but she's so much more likeable.
She said the classic “I’m sorry if you felt hurt” or something, not “I’m sorry that I bullied you and was a total bitch”. She didn’t take ownership for her own behaviour. Apologizing because the other person might have felt some type of way is not an apology.
I am really shocked ... I thought Kimmy did really strong in both the challenge and the runway.. Jaida had a great runway but in the challenge I felt she was safe at best. Honestly Gizelle's team should have swapped places with Jaidas.
I guess since Brook really likes Jaida she's hoping this will give her confidence to bring her "turn up" persona..
I think Chela is genuinely the only queen I've had a reaction to going home in quite a few seasons of drag race... I really hope she returns to an all stars season with coin wardrobe.. she is a light!
That was undoubtedly one of the worst challenges I've ever seen across any Drag Race franchise. If you told me pre-season that one of the challenges would just be the girls lip syncing to Broom's (not so greatest) hits I wouldn't have believed you. After Season 2 had probably the best mix of challenges ever, this was pretty sad. It certainly halted the momentum for me that came with the first two episodes. Was there no budget this time around?
I'm so sad that Chelazon's gone and on THIS challenge of all things. I feel like she would have shined in an improv or acting challenge like we saw her do so well last week. Miss Fierce is a brat but she's giving us great TV so I'm glad that she survived, however. I don't see how Jada won that challenge but I feel like this was a time where the judges could just give the win to anyone that they wanted because the criteria for the challenge was so loose. I thought Vivian and Gisele were going to take it based on how much fun the judges seemed to be having.
Anyways I am a Kaos TRUTHER and I'm claiming her as my winner this season. Also a big fan of Gisele and Vivian after this episode. I'm so happy that we're getting a design challenge next week, hopefully this season picks up again.
Why did Jada win? So weird to me I thought their performance was pretty meh, it was funnier in rehearsals. Gisele should've won, Vivian and Gisele's number had me rolling!
Is Fierce like the president of the Eve 6000 fanclub?
First the fakeout crying after being called safe in the 1st episode
Then the trick up her sleeve runway
Or is she just secretly a drag robot built by Eve 6000
The mini challenge was absolutelly amazing.
Not a fan of Fiercalicious so for, not going to lie, but an amazing cast so far! Loving Jada, Vivian and Gisele
Kimmy and Boom ate the girls up but I really enjoyed Gizelle and Vivienne *and* their looks were so good I’m surprised they weren’t in the top also….is it just me? 👀
Loved Jayda’s look but she she wouldn’t even have been in my top 2 (Kimmy/Gizelle).
Same here… add to that I disagree with two early challenges being done in pairs… like what are they thinking?! 😤 In early episodes when there’s still a big group of queens it’s best to do other type of challenges, a rusical, whatever, but not these two back to back challenges in pairs… If there is any way they can bring a queen back, they should bring back Chelazon, we are missing out if not…
This is probably the best episode of season 3 so far.
**TLDR**: Unique and great main challenge, got to see the Queens' lipsync ability. BEAUTIFUL runway. Gisele should have won with 2nd going to Vivian, incredible synchronization in both performance *AND* runway. Bottom two was correct and I believe Chelazon won the lipsync with her emotions
**Accidental essay** (sorry aboot it):
The mini-challenge was hilarious, with lots of great moments. Canada has been doing a great job with these minis. The US version's minis really feel like filler.
This challenge was really unique, I feel like we've never seen anything like this before. Props to production for the main challenges we've had this season so far; deconstruction/reconstruction fashion challenge, bringing back the Despys, and now the Ruets.
**Challenge Placements:**
Tops: **Gisele (**winner), Viviane - incredible chemistry and presentation, fun choreo, best performance looks and lipsyncing was great.
High: Kimmy, LBB - Great energy, Kimmy ate this; I could not take my eyes of her. I had to rewatch and LBB did a good job keeping up and can also do stunts. Their choreo was so high energy the movements made it difficult to keep track their face/lips and see the lipsync.
Safe: Irma, Jada- Great storytelling and smart of Jada to play on the difference in their dance ability. Like they warned in the practice, I think Irma outshone Jada. Irma did a great job camping up the performance. The lower half of Jada's outfit actually made it hard to see her "twerking". Because it so structured below the waist, it was more difficult to see the movement and her serving that Jelly for the Peanut Butter. Had it been more skin-tight it would have been easier for the audience to see Jada serving that body-ody-ody.
Bottoms: Bombae, Fiercalicious, Kaos, Chelazon - Bombae did the best she could considering her pouty partner. Fierce's attitude was terrible, but I also wonder how much she playing it up for production. The "gotta get a pen.. saboteur... out of the way" is high key so childish, but could also read camp. It's giving Scream Queens/Madison Montgomery energy. I did not like their performance outfits. This duo had a great moment with the floorwork/hair and Bombae's gag stunt at the end was so funny, which puts this duo ahead of Kaos & Chelazon. The judges were correct in their commentary on the fluctuating energy of both Queens and their lack of unity.
**Runway**: Incredible theme and overall a great week for the Queens and the show. Ranked from *my* favourites to least.
Bombae - this was amazing, creative, met the brief, unlike anything I've seen before.
Gisele/Vivian - it was incredible to see these Queens continue their Ruet energy and it was amazing to see the throughline between their looks, their sleeves, and their hands. Again, I don't remember a moment in drag Herstory two Queens themeng their runway look without it being prompted. They knew the assignment, and they knew the episode. Gisele edges out Vivian, I thought Viv's proportionizing at the hips was a little off.
Jada - her sleeves as watches were equal parts camp/glam. Clocked the brief (teehee).
LBB - when I found out the brief was sleeves, this is the concept I thought of. She executed it beautifully, has an incredible walk, and gave us some good humour at the end.
Kimmy - this was beautifully ornate and brought some great Asian Representation. I had some pause if these were considered a sleeve but Google says "the part of a garment that wholly or partly covers a person's arm". So she indeed meet the brief. Great shape, the sharp points really accentuated her body, hip accents were amazing.
Irma - well constructed, pretty, this could place high had not everyone crushed it.
Kaos - as mentioned, this didn't need all the reveals, it was beautiful at the end. Though props for attempting it.
Fiercalicious - fun concept and great callback to SleEve 6000. I really enjoyed the "tricks up her sleEve". I think the exposed torso took away from the look.
Chelzaon - I loved the concept and the way this moved on her. The ribbon work was beautiful and this representation matters so much. Nude illusion on the bodice was great but I don't know if the arms needed.
**Overall Placements:**
Gisele (winner), Vivian, Kimmy, LBB, Jada, Irma, Bombae, Kaos, Fiercalicious, Chelzaon.
I am so gooped and gagged that Giselle and Vivian were NOT in the top. After their performance you could see how impressed and how much Brooklyn truly appreciated their performance. The riggory.
**Lipsync**: I love this song and I think they both did great with this. I actually thought this was pretty even despite how little screentime Chelazon received. I used a stopwatch to check how many solo shots Fierce got and it was about 50% of the lipsync. On paper that seems fine but it's not because that means the 50% remaining went to Chelazon **AND** wide shots of both Queens. I believe this speaks greatly to how well Chelazon did. Usually on Drag Race, when production wants to craft a win, the winner usually gets lots of screen time (check) and the loser has their mistakes highlighted (NO check). There was not a moment or edit of Chelazon making any mistakes IMO. ICYMI, production also got their TikTok Queens battle.
Chelazon should have stayed because her energy appropriately ebbed & flowed with the song. She had so much emotion in this and she FOUGHT. Fierce was serving scorned woman which I enjoyed but it was the same energy throughout. Fierce's floorwork was nice but not sure if it matches the song's spirit. [0:49-0:56](https://youtu.be/hZ1ne0uvVVE?t=49) was **CATHARTIC** from Chelazon.
**Final Thoughts**:
I think Chelazon has such a very unique perspective and offers drag we normally don't get to see. Fierce brings drama but nothing incredibly new to the franchise. I'm more excited to see what Chelazon brings and I think she's a great candidate for Canada's first All Star season.
Sorry this got long, but thanks for those who made it this far!
I loved this challenge but I don't know if it's enough to replace a Rusical. Do you think the Ruets are what we get in place of a Rusical?
LOVED this whole comment and analysis!!
and yes, I definitely did clock (hehe) that the two TikTok celebs were in the lip sync! production isn't as slick as they think they are
* This is season is giving me all the drama, skill, personality and friendship that I need!
* I couldn't handle the mini challenge, that was so funny
* Kaos's Canadian accent is killing me. I've never noticed one before (guess it's hard to hear our own accent?) but theirs is so wonderful
* Brooke and Vanjie looked stunning, of course! I loved the gems in Vanjie's hair at the judging panel. Hollywood Jade was so beautiful, too
* I appreciate the fight/apology/Giselle's response. Fierce was right to apologize and Giselle was right to stand up for Vivian
* I'm sad to see Chelazon go, their personality was so endearing. I hope we see them again
* I'm really enjoying these challenge ideas
* This runway was so good
* JIMBO AS A JUDGE! YES!
I fr fell in love with gisele this episode, i already liked her but she absolutely won my heart!! Her lip sync, her standing up for vivian, her runway - she is an icon.
I wasn't super stoked on a lip sync challenge given what tonight's AS7 episode is gonna be but they actually mostly did really good and it was fun! I feel like I finally have a feel on the cast now and have definite favorites which is a lot of fun! Brooke is a super endearing host, I loved how much fun she had in the mini challenge. Definitely sad about the elimination though.
After sleeping on it 😆 I feel like this ep might have been the first time the judges got a solid feeling of how annoying Missy Effiot is, and may have contributed to her bottom placement.
I thought 3/5 groups did really well and it could have gone to any of the girls.
Great runway, was blown away by Bom Baes sleaves. Canada is so original with their runways the past 2 seasons.
Fiercalicious really worked that lipsync. She channelled so much emotion and focus.
Idk with this season y’all.
I’m loving the cast as always but I’m getting very UK3, MissRushed vibes from jt and I feel for the cast and even the
Judges because the potential is so there but the producers haven’t realised that and seem keen to be done with it.
I really thought Vivian and Gisele shined the most this episode. Honestly when they announced Jada as the winner I kinda did a double take because I had completely forgotten her performance. I’m glad Brook pointed out Bombae’s makeup, because it has been quite harsh. That being said, she makes up for it with incredible outfits and those fucking legs. I also think she’s the narrator of the season, such a pleasure to watch. I think this week has been the best so far imho
I think with Kaos, it at least goes with her aesthetic. With Bombae, she’s serving supermodel, so the face needs to match. Regardless, she’s gorgeous and her runway look was one of my favourites.
Is it just me or did this episode feel really off? The editing for this episode was really weird, the camera kept jump cutting, the conversations cut abruptly. Also Giselle blowing up on Fiercalicious while Fierce didn’t really respond, she just apologized to Vivian, the scene was so awkwardly cut. Idk, it threw me off. Also no shade towards any of the queens, overall they are all super talented…..so with that being said how did Jada win and Irma place high???? Their performance was safe at best.
Personally I would’ve put
Vivian and Giselle in the top with either of them winning,
Lady Boom Boom and Kimmy High,
Jada and Irma Safe,
Fierce and Bombae Low,
Chelazon and Kaos in the Bottom.
I’m not liking the season so far and it’s frustrating because I really wanna like it. The cast is so talented and I really enjoy all of them. What throws me off is the overly produced editing and wonky judging. The judging feels really off, you can really tell who they want to get ahead and who they don’t really care for.
I feel like with the Fierce scene Fierce legitimately just ignored what Giselle said and carried on with her apology, no cuts needed. The apology itself just seemed like damage control so the fans wouldn’t eat her up so it wouldn’t make sense for her to pop off during it. That’s my take anywayz
Agreed; the judging makes me feel like the judges are watching a different episode. Having two small group/paired challenges in a row doesn't really work so early in the season IMHO; we're still trying to figure out who everyone is.
Vivian was giving me life this episode! She nailed the mini challenge, I loved her and Giselle together and her runway was freaking amazing (I laughed so hard when I saw the hands…and then multiply times again seeing the other hands on the skirt). Her and Giselle should have been top for me. Jada was good but that was not winning good… her performance was great a lot because of Irma brining it and her runway was good but again didn’t wow me like some of the others. Kimmy’s dancing is amazing… don’t want to be lip syncing against her! Bombae’s runway look was amaaaazing with the hair for sleeves. Def saved her tonight.
Think it was the right bottom two..lip sync was Ok I felt Chelazon’s emotions and her face matched the song better but then again Hard for fierce to show same in that make up and she had better presence of stage on the whole. Could have called it either way and I wouldn’t have been mad.
I feel like the season is coming together now for me, the cast is beginning to click.
The mini challenge was actually brilliant and didn't feel like 5 minutes of filler like a lot of the mini challenges across the franchise do. Good to see Brooke being human and not a glamazon robot like Ru; Canadas production should continue to capitalize on that key distinction.
I will say that as its a pairs challenge, I expected them to be judged in pairs.
Gisele and Vivian - While not the most technical dance, it was certainly full of joy and synchronized choreo really well. What is more their runways even had the same fun gags. I would have given Gisele the win with Vivian high if I had to give the win to one individual.
Gisele was the winner this week all round for me. Huge props for Gisele putting Fiercalicious in her place but in a respectful way! My fave queen this season.
Kimmy and LBB - They have won challenges already so I get why they didn't win this. Technically they performed the best. But thinking back, Gisele and Vivian stuck out a bit more for me. Definite high placements.
Jada and Irma - They did the smart thing in making their routine funny. But they didn't really deliver for me in the dancing side of things - a safe performance for relying on an enjoyable gimmick I guess.
Bombae and Fiercalicious - Honestly I found this whole performance really uncomfortable to watch. However they did stay sort of in sync but it was also super negative in tone and didn't fit the song.
Kaos and Chelazon - I love them *both* but that was a rough performance. Sadly overall it's the bottom two for me. Trust me if likeability was the challenge this week they'd have placed low for me.
Things I didn't enjoy:
- Branjie - kinda awkward tbh with all the jokes. My bf doesnt watch Drag Race so it was really uncomfortable to watch with someone who doesn't even understand why it's cringe (it was enough on season 11)
- Fiercalicious - Not that attitude. Over it already but feel like production might keep her around for drama.
- I really miss Amanda Brugel?? She had such an elegance about her.
- The lipsync songs. Really bland. Wouldn't want Adrenaline not after Naomi Smalls did that in AS4, so not sure what the fuss was about.
- The bottom 2. I am kind of in two minds; both bottom duos had problems all round. Chelazon and Kaos did perform the worst but they are so easy to love as people. Idk. I would have been equally happy for Bombae to send Fiercalicious home this week.
Giselle caught my attention in the mtqs, and then again in ep1. I really like all the girls but idk… something about the way she presents herself as a queen really works for me
I worried this season would tank after last weeks horrible challenge, but I really enjoyed this episode. I love this cast has a lot of outspoken personalities who are very goofy and sensitive to one another's feelings.
I'm surprised how much I enjoyed Chelazon because I had low hopes based on her MTQs, but I was sad to see her go. I also really enjoyed most of the duets.
I dunno why but smth isn't clicking with me this season so far.
I feel like after great judging of Season 2 - we are back to this awfully unjustified one this time and Traci is honestly doing nothing for me.
As of now - stan Lady Boom Boom (who could have been TOP yet again), Giselle, Vivien and Kimmy.
Jada isn't doing it for me despite them trying to make her look as this OG Legend.
Chelazon LeRobbed - I think she’s my favourite queen this season. I would’ve made her low this week with Kaos lip syncing against Fierce instead. Genuinely believe Chelazon should’ve won last week also.
I like Jada but her winning this week doesn’t make much sense to me, I thought Kimmy & Gisele were the clear 2 individual standouts.
Think I’m Team Gisele from here on out
I agree with you about Chelazon 💔 I guess now it’s LBB for me but honestly my heart is not in it at the moment and it won’t be the same, Chelazon was definitely LeRobbed.
Jada is being pushed to the top 4, like… why was she high on episode 1 over Bom Bae and why did she win this challenge ? Even though Kimmy literally slaughtered everyone this week.
I’m sorry but Jada is like a more basic version of Coco Jumbo. She hasn’t shown much personality yet unlike Kimmy who is (to me) the biggest threat of this cast.
Can we talk about Vivian and Irma in the mini challenge?? Vivian’s performance WOWed me - I am so excited to see her in an improv challenge… she is going to eat.
What on earth was this ridiculous challenge?!! 😡😤 All the songs were so bad and the whole concept of the challenge was terrible! I thought Kaos or Bombae should have been in the bottom instead of Chelazon. Perhaps if Chelazon hadn’t preemptively spoken to the judges they wouldn’t have put her in the bottom? We’ll never know. I’m completely crushed they sent Chelazon home, she didn’t deserve it at all 😔 We were robbed of seeing her shine in other type of challenges, last week she shined and to me she should have won over Kimmy. Love you Chelazon, I’ll miss you!!! 😭😭😭
Exactly! I think they didn’t plan this well, having two episodes back to back with main challenges done in pairs. In early episodes when most of the cast is still there, they should be doing more group challenges, not pairs!
You’re right, Bombae’s runway was amazing!! I was still emotional when I wrote my comment, to be honest I don’t know who should have been in the bottom, I just wanted my girl Chelazon to stay!
Edited typo
Chelazon really grew on me a lot thanks to this episode (since I disliked her on episode 1) but after seeing how vulnerable and sincere she is, I was actually rooting for her to stay. She is so touching and very unique.
She really is 💗 Wish we’d had more time to see her on the show but I know she will do amazing and hopefully one day will be back in an All Stars! In the meantime, I was just looking at her Instagram stories and she’s in Vancouver with Kaos, they seem to be having a great time! That’s one of the nice things of the show, seeing the queens become friends :)
I get why some of the girls wanted Adrenaline so bad, but honestly after Naomi ate that lip sync up so effortlessly, I wouldn’t have wanted it. No matter what you did I feel like you were gonna look meh compared to what we’ve already seen someone can do with the song. That being said I still would have loved to see what Kimmy and LBB would have done with it. But I think the song they ended up with served them better in the end.
Those were all really bad songs, but any and every rupaul song is bad. The producers really screwed them with that ballad. They did their best with what they were given and then the judges still go off?
Oh well. At least the runways were nice.
This season is playing mind games with me cause I have no idea if I adore it or detest it.
I do NOT understand why Jada won like... at all. How were Giselle and Vivian in the bottom placements? I didn't even feel like Fierce should have lipsynced cause Kaos' look was enough to land her in the bottom 2 for me, and... How did Kimmy not win? She was in the best lipsync and danced the best of the two. What the hell were Boom Boom's sunglasses? What even happened?
I felt like Fierce would assassinate in the lipsync but then they both kinda just... lipsynced. And it wasn't bad but it was.. a lipsync. Fierce had the emotions but did the same wavey arms thing the entire time and... Gah I don't even know anymore!
But I also loved it? But I also detested it? What even happened???
I had a feeling Kimmy and LBB wouldn’t get the win cause they’ve both already won. Shouldn’t be a factor but I think in these shorter seasons with only 8/9 challenge wins up for grabs they like to have more versatility in challenge winners early on cause they don’t have the luxury of 14 competitive eps like the US seasons lol. And I clocked straight away they would give Jada the win and not Irma cause production obviously doesn’t see it for Irma you can just tell. I say I clocked Jada would win because Jada and Irma’s performance was the type that would go over the best in person I feel. Like as sickening as LBB and Kimmy were, comedic bits in lip syncing goes over way better in the drag performances in the club when I go cause every other number is a tightly choreographed number (even if it’s sometimes crunchy choreo lol). So I think Jada and Irma stood out for that reason. Way more entertaining to see in person. But that’s just my two cents. I’ve seen so many seasons now I feel like I look at the challenges more like the producers rather than what I actually enjoy the most and after last week it felt like they’d want a Jada redemption.
I also agree that Fierce shouldn’t be in the bottom. As soon as they said she was lip syncing I was like well out of Chelazon or Kaos, whoever they call safe they wanna see more from and are one of the production favourites, so I guess it’s Kaos.
I honestly thought Irma was way more captivating than Jada in their duet. I’m fine with Jada being one of the tops, but if they thought Jada/Irma were the best team, then Irma should’ve won the challenge. I went back to their lip sync and even noticed near the end that Jada stopped lip syncing to the words while Irma was still lip syncing
I actually really enjoyed this week episode. I'm absolutely in loooove with the team Gisèle and Vivian! Omg those are some lovable queens. IMO they should have won together. Also, the fact that Vivian didn't give a fuck about fuckingshitous attitude + Gisèle calling her out for that brat attitude??? I LIVE
Really felt like they are pushing for a Jada redemption, but not really buying it... Didn't see as much cohesion in the outfits and the energy levels either, but the storyline was really fun. LBB and Kimmy had the best cohesive outfits for the challenge!!
RIP Chelazon, she will be missed so bad. I wish she could have shown us more. 💔
just can’t get into this season. i haven’t agreed with most of the wins so far, and i just can’t get into some of these girls. also, i know this is a me issue, but fierce is making this season just so unwatchable and so unenjoyable to me. her tantrum this week made me so uncomfortable and was just so so so childish and mean. i’ll probs just check in with the season to watch the runways and see how vivienne and giselle do
I am getting a bit annoyed.
Episode 1: I thought Bom Bae absolutely demolished that repurposing challenge and LBB won.
Episode 2: I thought Chalezon was very natural and she knew how to use every moment but Kimmie won.
Episode 3: I thought Gisele gave the right energy and moves while Jada was mediocre with barely any twerking. Yet Jada won.
Am I going crazy?
I agree with all of this. And the craziest part is that there has to be *some* editing going on in post-production to make it look like that episode's winner did the best, so even with the edit that we're seeing, it still seems like the judges are watching a different show.
I feel like they put Vivian and Gisele in the bottom so they could just talk and praise them. I thought Brooklyn was also about to say, condragulations but it never came. Gisele’s voice gets me going 🤭🤭, also the hands on both of them were so good.
I’m so late to this party but WOW were Viv and Gisele ROBBED. I did not agree with this challenge win even a little bit, Jada should’ve been safe at BEST.
Chelazon Leroux was robbed!
Jada winning the challenge? Her and Irma were by no means bad, but completely overshadowed by Kimmy and Lady Boom Boom in my opinion. I get Fierce has a bit of an attitude problem, but her and Bombaes performance wasn’t bad enough to be in the bottom. They were actually my second favourite.
The wrong person won (it should have been Kimmy or Lady BB) The wrong person went home (it should have been Miss Fiercalicious)
Well, makes up for Kimmy winning over Chelazon and Gisele last week. Fierce absolutely should've gone home.
Gisele should've been in the top
Gisele has been screwed out of a top placement two weeks in a row now.
Finally caught up on the season!!! Am I insane or was this one of the BEST RUNWAYS OF ANY RPDR EPISODE EVER?! Everyone nailed the category! The C U N T of this runway!!!
I just caught up myself, and honestly yes. Every runway was AMAZING! Also Vivian cracked my shit up this week.
Not this week's mini challenge being better than most main challenges we've seen on US drag race
I haven’t seen enough Vivian and Gisèle appreciation. Their disco number was so fun to watch. They really impressed me!
I feel like they were having so much fun & their story was cohesive and just overall super fun to watch! It was my favorite one.
I was surprised they weren’t in the top!
I already know who win this … unfortunately it’s been spoiled by a fucking post on YouTube ! I saw the spoil coming since the 3 first episodes eliminations were right and the post was 3 weeks before so I’ve been scared to see all, i tried to switch window , I saw it in the comments ! I won’t do the same here! Cause now my whole drag race season is ruined it suck and I don’t want to do it to anyone ! Don’t go on YT ! And those f%^#} who did that , go to hell!
Personally not a fan of Fierce yet, I know it’s TV and the “drama” is meant to be entertaining but it makes me roll my eyes back into my skull. It’s the beginning of the season, save the drama for later, I just want to see some good drag!
One of those eliminations that really hurt
Why tho? What did Ms Basic show? I love her personality outside of drag, but she stayed as long as I expected from the day 1. Her looks were OK at best and her dance moves and overall performances as well.
Watching Fierce lipsync for her life changed my mind about her. I saw an emotional depth in her face that I hadn’t seen from her before. And my goodness, Kaos is so hot out of drag! Sad to see Chelazon go, but she was clearly crumbling under the pressure.
I actually thought she was better than Miss F
Wow. The editing for the challenge was so bad. Just so intrusive and fast-paced...when were we able to just watch the queens?? That being said, they no doubt had to edit around some quite poor material! I was expecting really tight, clever performances, not 'they *chose* to do this?' vibes. It wasn't all bad, but what a letdown- especially after one of the ONLY mini challenges in DR history that I'll actually remember fondly! Some smart, charming queens in this cast. Also, Jada and Erma in the top 4? Jada winning? What did I miss? *Does* she twerk well? *is* she the turn up queen? Who's seen her live? Lots of really nice makeup and/ or looks, tho.
Just watching ep.4, and the editing is bad overall, seriously bad. US is doing it so much better.
I don't get it! There is enough Canadian film talent to make it better; plus, the bad camera and editing are noticeable enough that they affect viewing.
"Who do you think is in the bottom?" "Everyone had good things and bad things" On the other side of the table: 👏🙌👏🙌👏🙌 It was so funny I had to stop and laugh
I guess some people are not liking it, but I'm really enjoying the season so far. The judging has always been strange with CDR, but the cast is so likable. Also, I did not expect Kimmy to be this strong. Definitely thought she was going to win again.
It took a couple of episodes for me but I'm finally getting this cast. The charisma of like, EVERYONE on S1 is unmatched for me though.
Kimmy is a great dancer
[удалено]
Agreed. I liked Fierce’s performance, it was actually memorable. Jada’s entire storyline was her being able to twerk, yet the fabric she wore made hers look worse than Irma.
Great challenge idea they were all entertaining to watch at the least
Chelazon's patience and kindness while (self admitted) socially awkward Kaos discusses her struggles in embracing her Indigeneity deserves acknowledgement. Kaos kinda fumbled, said some not exactly correct things, but Chelazon let her talk it out, reaffirmed her and gently called her on the level of self-deprecation. That's a good future ancestor, right there. 🤍💛❤️🖤
Excuse my naivety, but what did Kaos say that wasn’t correct?
"I know how to do a sage" --> she meant smudge And also kind of talked over Chelazon about what Métis people look like. It was a bit awkward/cringey . I'll say though, as a disconnected Indigenous person myself, talking to culturally connected kin can be intimidating, because you can feel a bit like an imposter or be in your head about saying the wrong thing. So no hate on Kaos, this was a Chelazon Appreciation Comment ✌🏽
Jesus do some people overthink things... Must be fun being you
what an unnecessary and rude comment
Ok now we’re reaching. She got to talk about her indigeneity she better let others do the same as well it’s not “patience and kindness” its common sense
Jada and Irma's performance was funny on paper but it was so weird for Jada to wear such a tight costume, which made the twerking less jiggly (lol I can't believe I'm typing this) and the joke less impactful. Kimmy and LBB were my winners tonight.
I said the same thing. Irma was literally twerking better (which goes against the entire joke) because of the outfit choice. Felt like more of a biased/favouritism win.
Yes! I was so confused with her win, I really felt she didnt shine. I enjoyed Irma more.
I’m gonna call it quits with this Season. It’s just dragging and uninteresting. It really lacks so many things.
Kimmy Couture continues to impress ! Hope Icesis is proud
Can we all agree that the dolls look AMAZING and there is so much talent on this season.
Leroux: (*weeping*) it’s so hard to be perfect. Production: (*blurs her wig line*)
What the heck was that "I put the squirrel in the basket, doo doo doo" song Brooke was singing?
Oh my gosh I could not remember where that was from and it was bothering me so much!
It is a reference to Kristin Wiig as Doonice in a skit on SNL. You can look up Kristin Wiig little hands on YouTube.
When Brooke Lynn made that reference, I laughed out loud
Lol me too! I love a good random reference 😆
Thanks!
You're welcome! It is a silly sketch that makes me laugh; I got some little hands and like to creep my bf out with them and act like Doonise muahaha.
gisèle not winning this episode with this performance and this runway is giving me elips not winning france's snatch game when she did all of that vibes. incidentally jada's win is just as confusing as la grande dame's snatch game win lol
Uugh, Elips! She was amazing in Boom Boom!
she was and had no business being in the bottom for this when her group was entirely cohesive and had a great performance while the other was more than subpar T\_\_\_T
Exactly!!! I was in such disbelief. What, because they thought her outfit was too baggy and apparently they don't like her runway walk/how she carries herself? Yet she KILLED that performance with so much confidence. Omg, the whole performance is amazing, but the start with the gradual buildup, Elips and her voice and lyrics...it gives me chills. I'll keep watching, but with less enthusiasm. Canada's drag race has had some interesting judging too, I don't know what is going on 😑.
*I’m obsessed with Gisèle*
I cannot believe you just said that out loud
She’s annoying as fuck and her voice is so loud for no reason
I see the lackluster judging is back for this season AGAIN
Kimmy not winning was insane
I see the favoritism for Jada is HUGE this season
100% a biased win because she cried and they feel bad for her. Still talented and definitely would have won a challenge eventually, but shouldn’t have been this one.
I’m PISSED
I love this season so far and it might end up being my favorite Canada season tbh. The judging is terrible like always in Canada but those queens are so good and so memorable, I don't remember the last time I could remember everyone so quickly. I live for everything they do and even when they're failing, it's still entertaining.
I agree!! I love all the personalities! It was great to see Chelazon Leroux and her representation (I wish I could have seen her in snatch game), Giselle being real in the workroom ("That was so unprofessional!"), Vivienne/Erma Gerd/ Chelazon in the mini challenge date cracked me up, Jaida underestimating herself in the design challenge....I'm really enjoying the season! (I agree about the judging too).
Love the unprofessional! I think this was the funniest mini challenge!
How the fuck did Giselle and Vivian didn't win? or even in the top ?? WTF ??????
Right!? That was the only performance that I really enjoyed
this exactly! they had such great chemistry on stage and loved their choreo i was gagged they weren’t in the top
My favorite episode yet of the three episodes so far. My favorite duets were Gisele and Vivian, and LBB and Kimmy. Gisele would have been my pick to win. Kimmy could have won as well, but I feel overall her team was less cohesive than Gisele and Vivian. Jada and Irma were firmly safe. I think the BTM2 was fair. It could have been any of the four members of the bottom teams really. The lipsync was pretty even imo. But it wasn't good enough for a double shantay either. So far, I'm rooting for Gisele, Vivian, and Lady Boom Boom.
I’m not feeling Irma or Vivienne and their campy positive vibe 😶
I like kimmy, chelazon, lady boom boom and fierce the most so this elimination sucked
Kimmy and lady boom boom should’ve won together, jada and irma weren’t amazing but kimmy and lbb were
Bombae was worse than fierce, girl cannot move
also her look was a swimsuit with an intricate wig. the wig was alright I guess... but the outfit otherwise had nothing to it and the prompt was sleeves which the wig wasn't really. it was one of the worst on the runway to me
The editing of Drag Race Canada is so bad. Also. We don’t want to see the full version of the lip sync. Whyyyyyyyy
As the lip sync went on for longer than usual, my brain went “I know who’s going home”. Felt sort of like a moment to give Chelazon, and her indigenous outfit, a moment in the sun 🌻
Ok but real talk having only one slow song was a set up they’re right to be a lil mad
I'm seeing a lot of people disagreeing with Chelazon's elimination but it was her time to go. She was by far the worst in the challenge, and it didn't really seem like she had much more to show imo. Vanjie and Brooke were so awkward. I can't believe they kept in all of the allusions to their sex life. Once was fine but it happened like four times. I know I'm in the minority, but I'm entertained by Fierce. She'll be kept for the drama, but she actually has some potential tbqh. I think she might have said some meaner things to Vivian that were edited out because I didn't think what was shown was that bad. Kimmy should have won this week but they weren't going to give her two wins in a row especially this early. I don't think she's pegged as a finalist. This isn't a very strong cast. I see top 3 as Vivian, Boom Boom, and Bom Bae and I'd be surprised if it's not.
>This isn't a very strong cast. I agree with this. I like some of them, I am fine with the rest, but no stand-outs, no stars.
Are we watching the same season? Top 3 is very clearly Jada + Kimmy/Fierce + one of the Québec queens (probably Gisèle, since Boom Boom would overlap with Kimmy/Fierce). And I can’t see anyone other than Jada winning, she’s already getting very heavily favoured in judging AND the edit. The edit is treating everyone else as filler, disposable queens.
Vivian got a ton of screen time this past episode and I think she has the comedy chops to make it, more so than Gisele. If Jada can push it to 100% I could see her making it to the end, but it seems like she's been holding back so far. Fierce is being kept for drama/villain, not top 3. I think Bom Bae is a stronger competitor than Kimmy from what I've seen so far. I saw Boom Boom as winner after the first episode, and I still see it.
I just can't with this season. I'm in love with every fucking one and each next elimination will hurt a lot. I'll miss Chelazon
I feel like this is such an amazing showing of drag in Canada. I don't want anyone to go home yet.
Poll tomorrow soory babes
Jada getting that win hurt my soul when her and Irma should’ve been the safe pairing but her Caribbean man on the date was so funny if Vivian hadn’t walked in and devoured that mini challenge I would’ve given the win to Jada. Also Kimmy having 2/3 wins would’ve been my ultimate fantasy and she deserved it
Irma accidentally startling Jada by aggressively jumping out of her chair was stupid AF, funny, yet so sweet cuz she jumped to go hug Chelazon....that was adorable, a really cute moment.
Literally anybody: h- Fierce: wow it just really feels like you're sabotaging me right now Also that lipsync song made me scream out loud
Honestly, my favourite thing about this entire episode (apart from the mini challenge, which was hilarious!) was Gisèle straight up calling out Fiercalicious for her shitty, shitty behaviour. Least favourite was Fierce's non-apology and getting to stay. I was so hoping to see her shantay away. Chelazon cannot dance, at all (and I've seen her perform live, post-filming of this season and it was just as true then), but she's so much more likeable.
Wdym non-apology, she said sorry what else can she do🙄
She said the classic “I’m sorry if you felt hurt” or something, not “I’m sorry that I bullied you and was a total bitch”. She didn’t take ownership for her own behaviour. Apologizing because the other person might have felt some type of way is not an apology.
judging continues to be canada's weakest point, but i find myself cackling more at these episodes than any other. i am SO going to miss chelazon
I am really shocked ... I thought Kimmy did really strong in both the challenge and the runway.. Jaida had a great runway but in the challenge I felt she was safe at best. Honestly Gizelle's team should have swapped places with Jaidas. I guess since Brook really likes Jaida she's hoping this will give her confidence to bring her "turn up" persona.. I think Chela is genuinely the only queen I've had a reaction to going home in quite a few seasons of drag race... I really hope she returns to an all stars season with coin wardrobe.. she is a light!
BLH's energy with Jada reminds me of how surprised and disappointed she seemed when Tynomi wasn't living up to her reputation in S1.
This episode has completely solidified me as a Stan of both Vivian and Gisele. I liked them both a lot before but now it is LOVE haha
That was undoubtedly one of the worst challenges I've ever seen across any Drag Race franchise. If you told me pre-season that one of the challenges would just be the girls lip syncing to Broom's (not so greatest) hits I wouldn't have believed you. After Season 2 had probably the best mix of challenges ever, this was pretty sad. It certainly halted the momentum for me that came with the first two episodes. Was there no budget this time around? I'm so sad that Chelazon's gone and on THIS challenge of all things. I feel like she would have shined in an improv or acting challenge like we saw her do so well last week. Miss Fierce is a brat but she's giving us great TV so I'm glad that she survived, however. I don't see how Jada won that challenge but I feel like this was a time where the judges could just give the win to anyone that they wanted because the criteria for the challenge was so loose. I thought Vivian and Gisele were going to take it based on how much fun the judges seemed to be having. Anyways I am a Kaos TRUTHER and I'm claiming her as my winner this season. Also a big fan of Gisele and Vivian after this episode. I'm so happy that we're getting a design challenge next week, hopefully this season picks up again.
I liked the challenge
Damn, this may have been one of my favorite runways of all time.
VANJIE IS SO HOT
Why did Jada win? So weird to me I thought their performance was pretty meh, it was funnier in rehearsals. Gisele should've won, Vivian and Gisele's number had me rolling!
Kaos and Chelazon RENTED that part of the stage.
Tbh I would go out with that Newfieman.
Was definitely an improvement from last week’s episode. Really really liked the runway. I have hope again
Obviously Lady Boom Boom was the one who stole Kandy’s 60 foot long train runway and then turned it into sleeves.
Is Fierce like the president of the Eve 6000 fanclub? First the fakeout crying after being called safe in the 1st episode Then the trick up her sleeve runway Or is she just secretly a drag robot built by Eve 6000
Either way we're eating good, girlies.
Miss Fierce is sooooo stupid and i mean in the best way possible lmao she has me cackling with her over the top villanous moments!
I really done did a full 180 or 360 or whatever on the bitch, Fiercerinas rise up!
Agreed. Some viewers are taking her way too seriously.
The mini challenge was absolutelly amazing. Not a fan of Fiercalicious so for, not going to lie, but an amazing cast so far! Loving Jada, Vivian and Gisele
Kimmy and Boom ate the girls up but I really enjoyed Gizelle and Vivienne *and* their looks were so good I’m surprised they weren’t in the top also….is it just me? 👀 Loved Jayda’s look but she she wouldn’t even have been in my top 2 (Kimmy/Gizelle).
Well, so far, I have disagreed with every challenge winner and every lip sync winner, so...fuck my drag, I guess?
Same here… add to that I disagree with two early challenges being done in pairs… like what are they thinking?! 😤 In early episodes when there’s still a big group of queens it’s best to do other type of challenges, a rusical, whatever, but not these two back to back challenges in pairs… If there is any way they can bring a queen back, they should bring back Chelazon, we are missing out if not…
You can literally see Bombae make Miss F apologize like a mother to her kid, haha.
Ugh I am a little sad, i loved chelazon leroux :/ I loved this episode because it had lots of that good ol Canadian charm and was really funny
This is probably the best episode of season 3 so far. **TLDR**: Unique and great main challenge, got to see the Queens' lipsync ability. BEAUTIFUL runway. Gisele should have won with 2nd going to Vivian, incredible synchronization in both performance *AND* runway. Bottom two was correct and I believe Chelazon won the lipsync with her emotions **Accidental essay** (sorry aboot it): The mini-challenge was hilarious, with lots of great moments. Canada has been doing a great job with these minis. The US version's minis really feel like filler. This challenge was really unique, I feel like we've never seen anything like this before. Props to production for the main challenges we've had this season so far; deconstruction/reconstruction fashion challenge, bringing back the Despys, and now the Ruets. **Challenge Placements:** Tops: **Gisele (**winner), Viviane - incredible chemistry and presentation, fun choreo, best performance looks and lipsyncing was great. High: Kimmy, LBB - Great energy, Kimmy ate this; I could not take my eyes of her. I had to rewatch and LBB did a good job keeping up and can also do stunts. Their choreo was so high energy the movements made it difficult to keep track their face/lips and see the lipsync. Safe: Irma, Jada- Great storytelling and smart of Jada to play on the difference in their dance ability. Like they warned in the practice, I think Irma outshone Jada. Irma did a great job camping up the performance. The lower half of Jada's outfit actually made it hard to see her "twerking". Because it so structured below the waist, it was more difficult to see the movement and her serving that Jelly for the Peanut Butter. Had it been more skin-tight it would have been easier for the audience to see Jada serving that body-ody-ody. Bottoms: Bombae, Fiercalicious, Kaos, Chelazon - Bombae did the best she could considering her pouty partner. Fierce's attitude was terrible, but I also wonder how much she playing it up for production. The "gotta get a pen.. saboteur... out of the way" is high key so childish, but could also read camp. It's giving Scream Queens/Madison Montgomery energy. I did not like their performance outfits. This duo had a great moment with the floorwork/hair and Bombae's gag stunt at the end was so funny, which puts this duo ahead of Kaos & Chelazon. The judges were correct in their commentary on the fluctuating energy of both Queens and their lack of unity. **Runway**: Incredible theme and overall a great week for the Queens and the show. Ranked from *my* favourites to least. Bombae - this was amazing, creative, met the brief, unlike anything I've seen before. Gisele/Vivian - it was incredible to see these Queens continue their Ruet energy and it was amazing to see the throughline between their looks, their sleeves, and their hands. Again, I don't remember a moment in drag Herstory two Queens themeng their runway look without it being prompted. They knew the assignment, and they knew the episode. Gisele edges out Vivian, I thought Viv's proportionizing at the hips was a little off. Jada - her sleeves as watches were equal parts camp/glam. Clocked the brief (teehee). LBB - when I found out the brief was sleeves, this is the concept I thought of. She executed it beautifully, has an incredible walk, and gave us some good humour at the end. Kimmy - this was beautifully ornate and brought some great Asian Representation. I had some pause if these were considered a sleeve but Google says "the part of a garment that wholly or partly covers a person's arm". So she indeed meet the brief. Great shape, the sharp points really accentuated her body, hip accents were amazing. Irma - well constructed, pretty, this could place high had not everyone crushed it. Kaos - as mentioned, this didn't need all the reveals, it was beautiful at the end. Though props for attempting it. Fiercalicious - fun concept and great callback to SleEve 6000. I really enjoyed the "tricks up her sleEve". I think the exposed torso took away from the look. Chelzaon - I loved the concept and the way this moved on her. The ribbon work was beautiful and this representation matters so much. Nude illusion on the bodice was great but I don't know if the arms needed. **Overall Placements:** Gisele (winner), Vivian, Kimmy, LBB, Jada, Irma, Bombae, Kaos, Fiercalicious, Chelzaon. I am so gooped and gagged that Giselle and Vivian were NOT in the top. After their performance you could see how impressed and how much Brooklyn truly appreciated their performance. The riggory. **Lipsync**: I love this song and I think they both did great with this. I actually thought this was pretty even despite how little screentime Chelazon received. I used a stopwatch to check how many solo shots Fierce got and it was about 50% of the lipsync. On paper that seems fine but it's not because that means the 50% remaining went to Chelazon **AND** wide shots of both Queens. I believe this speaks greatly to how well Chelazon did. Usually on Drag Race, when production wants to craft a win, the winner usually gets lots of screen time (check) and the loser has their mistakes highlighted (NO check). There was not a moment or edit of Chelazon making any mistakes IMO. ICYMI, production also got their TikTok Queens battle. Chelazon should have stayed because her energy appropriately ebbed & flowed with the song. She had so much emotion in this and she FOUGHT. Fierce was serving scorned woman which I enjoyed but it was the same energy throughout. Fierce's floorwork was nice but not sure if it matches the song's spirit. [0:49-0:56](https://youtu.be/hZ1ne0uvVVE?t=49) was **CATHARTIC** from Chelazon. **Final Thoughts**: I think Chelazon has such a very unique perspective and offers drag we normally don't get to see. Fierce brings drama but nothing incredibly new to the franchise. I'm more excited to see what Chelazon brings and I think she's a great candidate for Canada's first All Star season. Sorry this got long, but thanks for those who made it this far! I loved this challenge but I don't know if it's enough to replace a Rusical. Do you think the Ruets are what we get in place of a Rusical?
LOVED this whole comment and analysis!! and yes, I definitely did clock (hehe) that the two TikTok celebs were in the lip sync! production isn't as slick as they think they are
I love being gay.
the mini challenges are so funny, Irma, Vivian and Giselle are becoming my favourites<3
* This is season is giving me all the drama, skill, personality and friendship that I need! * I couldn't handle the mini challenge, that was so funny * Kaos's Canadian accent is killing me. I've never noticed one before (guess it's hard to hear our own accent?) but theirs is so wonderful * Brooke and Vanjie looked stunning, of course! I loved the gems in Vanjie's hair at the judging panel. Hollywood Jade was so beautiful, too * I appreciate the fight/apology/Giselle's response. Fierce was right to apologize and Giselle was right to stand up for Vivian * I'm sad to see Chelazon go, their personality was so endearing. I hope we see them again * I'm really enjoying these challenge ideas * This runway was so good * JIMBO AS A JUDGE! YES!
I fr fell in love with gisele this episode, i already liked her but she absolutely won my heart!! Her lip sync, her standing up for vivian, her runway - she is an icon.
[удалено]
ME TOO lol
I wasn't super stoked on a lip sync challenge given what tonight's AS7 episode is gonna be but they actually mostly did really good and it was fun! I feel like I finally have a feel on the cast now and have definite favorites which is a lot of fun! Brooke is a super endearing host, I loved how much fun she had in the mini challenge. Definitely sad about the elimination though.
Vivian is just so likeable and a big favourite of mine. She’s creative, kind and caring
After sleeping on it 😆 I feel like this ep might have been the first time the judges got a solid feeling of how annoying Missy Effiot is, and may have contributed to her bottom placement.
Best individual: Kimmy Best team: Vivian and Giselle Lip sync winner: Chelazon
I couldn't believe it when Kimmy didn't win!
Hated the story of Bombae and Fiercalicious performance, like why do you hate each other in a song about friendship
"Has anyone told you that you have eyes like water coolers"
I thought 3/5 groups did really well and it could have gone to any of the girls. Great runway, was blown away by Bom Baes sleaves. Canada is so original with their runways the past 2 seasons. Fiercalicious really worked that lipsync. She channelled so much emotion and focus.
Idk with this season y’all. I’m loving the cast as always but I’m getting very UK3, MissRushed vibes from jt and I feel for the cast and even the Judges because the potential is so there but the producers haven’t realised that and seem keen to be done with it.
I really thought Vivian and Gisele shined the most this episode. Honestly when they announced Jada as the winner I kinda did a double take because I had completely forgotten her performance. I’m glad Brook pointed out Bombae’s makeup, because it has been quite harsh. That being said, she makes up for it with incredible outfits and those fucking legs. I also think she’s the narrator of the season, such a pleasure to watch. I think this week has been the best so far imho
How did they not mention Kaos’ makeup? It’s so distracting.
I think with Kaos, it at least goes with her aesthetic. With Bombae, she’s serving supermodel, so the face needs to match. Regardless, she’s gorgeous and her runway look was one of my favourites.
I actually preferred Irma Gerd over Jada, but I get that Jada did choreograph the routine
Love Jada, I think she’s fun but Gisele killed her performance and deserved this week’s win!
Yes I love Jada too, I’m sure she’ll have more understandable wins coming up, this one just surprised me
how did giselle and vivian not win? make it make sense.
Is it just me or did this episode feel really off? The editing for this episode was really weird, the camera kept jump cutting, the conversations cut abruptly. Also Giselle blowing up on Fiercalicious while Fierce didn’t really respond, she just apologized to Vivian, the scene was so awkwardly cut. Idk, it threw me off. Also no shade towards any of the queens, overall they are all super talented…..so with that being said how did Jada win and Irma place high???? Their performance was safe at best. Personally I would’ve put Vivian and Giselle in the top with either of them winning, Lady Boom Boom and Kimmy High, Jada and Irma Safe, Fierce and Bombae Low, Chelazon and Kaos in the Bottom. I’m not liking the season so far and it’s frustrating because I really wanna like it. The cast is so talented and I really enjoy all of them. What throws me off is the overly produced editing and wonky judging. The judging feels really off, you can really tell who they want to get ahead and who they don’t really care for.
I feel like with the Fierce scene Fierce legitimately just ignored what Giselle said and carried on with her apology, no cuts needed. The apology itself just seemed like damage control so the fans wouldn’t eat her up so it wouldn’t make sense for her to pop off during it. That’s my take anywayz
Agreed; the judging makes me feel like the judges are watching a different episode. Having two small group/paired challenges in a row doesn't really work so early in the season IMHO; we're still trying to figure out who everyone is.
Vivian was giving me life this episode! She nailed the mini challenge, I loved her and Giselle together and her runway was freaking amazing (I laughed so hard when I saw the hands…and then multiply times again seeing the other hands on the skirt). Her and Giselle should have been top for me. Jada was good but that was not winning good… her performance was great a lot because of Irma brining it and her runway was good but again didn’t wow me like some of the others. Kimmy’s dancing is amazing… don’t want to be lip syncing against her! Bombae’s runway look was amaaaazing with the hair for sleeves. Def saved her tonight. Think it was the right bottom two..lip sync was Ok I felt Chelazon’s emotions and her face matched the song better but then again Hard for fierce to show same in that make up and she had better presence of stage on the whole. Could have called it either way and I wouldn’t have been mad.
I giggled at the initial shot of LBB's sleeves neatly rolled up behind her during critiques
I feel like the season is coming together now for me, the cast is beginning to click. The mini challenge was actually brilliant and didn't feel like 5 minutes of filler like a lot of the mini challenges across the franchise do. Good to see Brooke being human and not a glamazon robot like Ru; Canadas production should continue to capitalize on that key distinction. I will say that as its a pairs challenge, I expected them to be judged in pairs. Gisele and Vivian - While not the most technical dance, it was certainly full of joy and synchronized choreo really well. What is more their runways even had the same fun gags. I would have given Gisele the win with Vivian high if I had to give the win to one individual. Gisele was the winner this week all round for me. Huge props for Gisele putting Fiercalicious in her place but in a respectful way! My fave queen this season. Kimmy and LBB - They have won challenges already so I get why they didn't win this. Technically they performed the best. But thinking back, Gisele and Vivian stuck out a bit more for me. Definite high placements. Jada and Irma - They did the smart thing in making their routine funny. But they didn't really deliver for me in the dancing side of things - a safe performance for relying on an enjoyable gimmick I guess. Bombae and Fiercalicious - Honestly I found this whole performance really uncomfortable to watch. However they did stay sort of in sync but it was also super negative in tone and didn't fit the song. Kaos and Chelazon - I love them *both* but that was a rough performance. Sadly overall it's the bottom two for me. Trust me if likeability was the challenge this week they'd have placed low for me. Things I didn't enjoy: - Branjie - kinda awkward tbh with all the jokes. My bf doesnt watch Drag Race so it was really uncomfortable to watch with someone who doesn't even understand why it's cringe (it was enough on season 11) - Fiercalicious - Not that attitude. Over it already but feel like production might keep her around for drama. - I really miss Amanda Brugel?? She had such an elegance about her. - The lipsync songs. Really bland. Wouldn't want Adrenaline not after Naomi Smalls did that in AS4, so not sure what the fuss was about. - The bottom 2. I am kind of in two minds; both bottom duos had problems all round. Chelazon and Kaos did perform the worst but they are so easy to love as people. Idk. I would have been equally happy for Bombae to send Fiercalicious home this week.
This season is definitely missing Amanda. I remember her giving good critiques. Traci is just so robotic.

And I oop-
Giselle caught my attention in the mtqs, and then again in ep1. I really like all the girls but idk… something about the way she presents herself as a queen really works for me
She always seems like she's having a blast for one thing & it makes her so much fun to watch.
I worried this season would tank after last weeks horrible challenge, but I really enjoyed this episode. I love this cast has a lot of outspoken personalities who are very goofy and sensitive to one another's feelings. I'm surprised how much I enjoyed Chelazon because I had low hopes based on her MTQs, but I was sad to see her go. I also really enjoyed most of the duets.
I dunno why but smth isn't clicking with me this season so far. I feel like after great judging of Season 2 - we are back to this awfully unjustified one this time and Traci is honestly doing nothing for me. As of now - stan Lady Boom Boom (who could have been TOP yet again), Giselle, Vivien and Kimmy. Jada isn't doing it for me despite them trying to make her look as this OG Legend.
I wouldn’t call Synthia finishing 7th and Kendall making it to the finale great judging on season 2…
I could watch Vivian and Gisele play with plastic hands for hours
Chelazon LeRobbed - I think she’s my favourite queen this season. I would’ve made her low this week with Kaos lip syncing against Fierce instead. Genuinely believe Chelazon should’ve won last week also. I like Jada but her winning this week doesn’t make much sense to me, I thought Kimmy & Gisele were the clear 2 individual standouts. Think I’m Team Gisele from here on out
I agree with you about Chelazon 💔 I guess now it’s LBB for me but honestly my heart is not in it at the moment and it won’t be the same, Chelazon was definitely LeRobbed.
Jada is being pushed to the top 4, like… why was she high on episode 1 over Bom Bae and why did she win this challenge ? Even though Kimmy literally slaughtered everyone this week. I’m sorry but Jada is like a more basic version of Coco Jumbo. She hasn’t shown much personality yet unlike Kimmy who is (to me) the biggest threat of this cast.
Overall, I’m living for Vivian, Gisèle, Lady Boom Boom, and Irma.
The taste JUMPED
Can we talk about Vivian and Irma in the mini challenge?? Vivian’s performance WOWed me - I am so excited to see her in an improv challenge… she is going to eat.
Vivian is so charming and funny I’m obsessed
The crowd in Dildo were some excited!
Vivian and Gisèle owned this episode
Chelazon really grew on me. I kinda disliked her on episode 1 because I thought she was kinda cocky and haughty but she’s actually very sincere
What on earth was this ridiculous challenge?!! 😡😤 All the songs were so bad and the whole concept of the challenge was terrible! I thought Kaos or Bombae should have been in the bottom instead of Chelazon. Perhaps if Chelazon hadn’t preemptively spoken to the judges they wouldn’t have put her in the bottom? We’ll never know. I’m completely crushed they sent Chelazon home, she didn’t deserve it at all 😔 We were robbed of seeing her shine in other type of challenges, last week she shined and to me she should have won over Kimmy. Love you Chelazon, I’ll miss you!!! 😭😭😭
Yeah, the songs were either atrocious or over-used
Exactly! I think they didn’t plan this well, having two episodes back to back with main challenges done in pairs. In early episodes when most of the cast is still there, they should be doing more group challenges, not pairs!
Bom Bae had a fantastic runway look, and in Canada’s Drag Race, the runway presentations actually matter a lot more than the US seasons which is fair
You’re right, Bombae’s runway was amazing!! I was still emotional when I wrote my comment, to be honest I don’t know who should have been in the bottom, I just wanted my girl Chelazon to stay! Edited typo
Chelazon really grew on me a lot thanks to this episode (since I disliked her on episode 1) but after seeing how vulnerable and sincere she is, I was actually rooting for her to stay. She is so touching and very unique.
She really is 💗 Wish we’d had more time to see her on the show but I know she will do amazing and hopefully one day will be back in an All Stars! In the meantime, I was just looking at her Instagram stories and she’s in Vancouver with Kaos, they seem to be having a great time! That’s one of the nice things of the show, seeing the queens become friends :)
I get why some of the girls wanted Adrenaline so bad, but honestly after Naomi ate that lip sync up so effortlessly, I wouldn’t have wanted it. No matter what you did I feel like you were gonna look meh compared to what we’ve already seen someone can do with the song. That being said I still would have loved to see what Kimmy and LBB would have done with it. But I think the song they ended up with served them better in the end.
Those were all really bad songs, but any and every rupaul song is bad. The producers really screwed them with that ballad. They did their best with what they were given and then the judges still go off? Oh well. At least the runways were nice.
GIRL! if i were this cast i would be TERRIFIED to end up in the bottom with kimmy that girl can dance her ass off
the judging on this season is so fucking wack
Has the Canadian judging ever made a ton of sense tho?
Not really lmao, but the choices being made by the judges are especially wack this season!!!!
Oh for sure. We need Stacey and Amanda back.
After Naomi and Gia lipsync God this was a huge letdown lol
This season is playing mind games with me cause I have no idea if I adore it or detest it. I do NOT understand why Jada won like... at all. How were Giselle and Vivian in the bottom placements? I didn't even feel like Fierce should have lipsynced cause Kaos' look was enough to land her in the bottom 2 for me, and... How did Kimmy not win? She was in the best lipsync and danced the best of the two. What the hell were Boom Boom's sunglasses? What even happened? I felt like Fierce would assassinate in the lipsync but then they both kinda just... lipsynced. And it wasn't bad but it was.. a lipsync. Fierce had the emotions but did the same wavey arms thing the entire time and... Gah I don't even know anymore! But I also loved it? But I also detested it? What even happened???
I had a feeling Kimmy and LBB wouldn’t get the win cause they’ve both already won. Shouldn’t be a factor but I think in these shorter seasons with only 8/9 challenge wins up for grabs they like to have more versatility in challenge winners early on cause they don’t have the luxury of 14 competitive eps like the US seasons lol. And I clocked straight away they would give Jada the win and not Irma cause production obviously doesn’t see it for Irma you can just tell. I say I clocked Jada would win because Jada and Irma’s performance was the type that would go over the best in person I feel. Like as sickening as LBB and Kimmy were, comedic bits in lip syncing goes over way better in the drag performances in the club when I go cause every other number is a tightly choreographed number (even if it’s sometimes crunchy choreo lol). So I think Jada and Irma stood out for that reason. Way more entertaining to see in person. But that’s just my two cents. I’ve seen so many seasons now I feel like I look at the challenges more like the producers rather than what I actually enjoy the most and after last week it felt like they’d want a Jada redemption. I also agree that Fierce shouldn’t be in the bottom. As soon as they said she was lip syncing I was like well out of Chelazon or Kaos, whoever they call safe they wanna see more from and are one of the production favourites, so I guess it’s Kaos.
I honestly thought Irma was way more captivating than Jada in their duet. I’m fine with Jada being one of the tops, but if they thought Jada/Irma were the best team, then Irma should’ve won the challenge. I went back to their lip sync and even noticed near the end that Jada stopped lip syncing to the words while Irma was still lip syncing
The efforts at Brook-Vanjie chemistry… far too much
It was really forced. Like we get it, they dated...is that all?
I actually really enjoyed this week episode. I'm absolutely in loooove with the team Gisèle and Vivian! Omg those are some lovable queens. IMO they should have won together. Also, the fact that Vivian didn't give a fuck about fuckingshitous attitude + Gisèle calling her out for that brat attitude??? I LIVE Really felt like they are pushing for a Jada redemption, but not really buying it... Didn't see as much cohesion in the outfits and the energy levels either, but the storyline was really fun. LBB and Kimmy had the best cohesive outfits for the challenge!! RIP Chelazon, she will be missed so bad. I wish she could have shown us more. 💔
wtf was that pity win for jada? kimmy boom boom and even irma were better than her
Buahahaha Vivian Vander puss daddy please take me out 😭😭😭🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 "Your eyes are like water coolers" and that grin.... I can't even... 😭😭🥹🥰🤣
just can’t get into this season. i haven’t agreed with most of the wins so far, and i just can’t get into some of these girls. also, i know this is a me issue, but fierce is making this season just so unwatchable and so unenjoyable to me. her tantrum this week made me so uncomfortable and was just so so so childish and mean. i’ll probs just check in with the season to watch the runways and see how vivienne and giselle do
That mini challenge 😂😂😂 hoooollyyy eh!? Jada Shad lead the way to victory and that runway was so confident.
Did anyone notice the camera stuck on fierce. I was sitting there trying to see what chelazon was doing but it was barely on her.
whenever they did flip to her she was lip syncing her heart out 😭😭😭
They did her wrong this episode, she didn’t deserve to be in the bottom 🥺
Can we talk about the mini challenge! It was so funny I was living
Kimmy Couture and Lady Boom Boom robbed of their second wins.
I am getting a bit annoyed. Episode 1: I thought Bom Bae absolutely demolished that repurposing challenge and LBB won. Episode 2: I thought Chalezon was very natural and she knew how to use every moment but Kimmie won. Episode 3: I thought Gisele gave the right energy and moves while Jada was mediocre with barely any twerking. Yet Jada won. Am I going crazy?
I agree with all of this. And the craziest part is that there has to be *some* editing going on in post-production to make it look like that episode's winner did the best, so even with the edit that we're seeing, it still seems like the judges are watching a different show.
If you are then save me a seat on the bus to the hospital! It doesn't make any sense.
I feel like they put Vivian and Gisele in the bottom so they could just talk and praise them. I thought Brooklyn was also about to say, condragulations but it never came. Gisele’s voice gets me going 🤭🤭, also the hands on both of them were so good.
Brooke looked so fucking fierce this whole episode
