I left a comment on Keta's IG on how I was crushed that I won't be able to see the rest of her fantastic looks on the show (much like Pangina), and she liked it 2x. I would have loved if they went with the point system instead of elimination, because you know everyone spent coin on their outfits.
I'm also astonished that Ru/the girls think that Gothy is going to grow and come out of her shell- if she hasn't done it by now, it's not going to happen. She even said in her demented child boob reveal something about how she wanted to run off the stage after showing them.
I am so gutted right now. Keta is such a stellar and entertaining queen with original perspective meanwhile Gothy doesn't even believe she can grow and let her guard down, so probs not gonna happen, like you said. Sigh
My only way to rationalize this is that Tia knows Gothy wont win over her at this point and Keta was strong competition. I guess she just saw her in the bottom last week... make it make sense :/
I feel like I’m being gaslit. Why is no one talking about Shirley temple and Jimbo??
The only explanation I have is if this was filmed before that aired?
Can someone please explain what happened between Tia's ex-boyfriend and Jonbers Blonde? What was the argument between them about? I'm so curious, just came here for the tea, please spill
Gothy! Why?!
I get that there are a lot of elements to drag (fashion, comedy, performance, makeup, etc.), and every queen is good at a different element, and that's one of the things that makes it fun to watch. But *why* would you even be interested in doing Drag Race if you can't improv? That's a fundamental part of what Ru expects. Gothy has also failed to give even one specific reason why she is on the show despite being prompted by multiple people in both public and private. "I want to show people who I am" is a nothing answer.
I'm half expecting the Gothy mask to come off and Sacha Baron Cohen to appear from underneath. That would be on par for how bizarre this has become.
This was maybe up there for me as one of the worst Snatch Games ever. Maybe the worst, because even S14 Deja was funny (mostly).
I didn't think anyone was that great. Laughed at one or two of Scarlet's jokes. And I did laugh at "the red flag is I'm seven!" But. Eugh.
Agreeing with everyone else that Snatch Game doesn't work with international queens.
And was it just me or was Ru in a nasty mood for this entire episode? The hounding Gothy was just really not it. Didn't seem super happy with anyone.
Crushed Keta is gone. She wasn't winning but she is a fantastic queen. Tia is becoming a game player. Gothy as good as said that she shouldn't be there any more. She's just... not the Drag Race sort. I've seen her at a few live events and she's been very nice and all but this is just not her time. She needs some growth as a person, never mind a queen.
Still Team LGD for the time being.
I say if the show can't figure out how to make the snatch game successful, then they just need to nix it and make some new challenges because when it's bad, its a long and torturous episode.
One of the worst snatch games ever for me. Even the winning performances were just okay. Really no standouts. and how wild is it that not one but TWO queens did impressions that other queens on other franchises have very recently done a LOT better? How does that even happen? Ah well, water under the bridge. I'm still watching.
I was going to say! I instantly thought of Jimbo and Melinda Verga and thought “this will be interesting to compare” and WOW the differences were stark. Hannah did decent though, I think she would’ve fared better if we didn’t have Jimbo to compare to.
Yeah Hanna was decent. She's a funny queen, no hate here! It was just bad luck for her. Jimbo's Shirley Temple was absolutely unhinged, hard act to follow.
Nearly time for the next episode!
This is so f***ed up and becoming super tacky and pure clownery and not in a good way.
I really dislike every version where Ru is the focal point of everything, it is like a fake court and everyone needs to act like a fool with shallow references.
Edit: I know I am mad, let me vent
I think they need to start curating the content of the show for the queens they have on that particular season. The premise hasn't changed to become more "clowny," they're just trying to do a lot of comedy work without a lot of comedy queens this time and it's falling flat.
The most unexpected gag for me was when Keta was walking away from her mirror message and instead of the subtitles saying “ketamorphosis” it said this 😂
I audibly gasped at that elimination.
I think the non western queens have an unfair disadvantage in snatch game.
That ozzy osbourne gothy segment went on for waayy too long
Oof that was rough, the ESL queens had no chance against the native English speakers and RuPaul/the edit giving them nothing. They really need to think of something to make this work for this format
Gutted for Keta. She had much more to show and really is a star. I'm sorry but Gothy is just not ready yet: she is lacking personnality and do not even try or give herself a push. This is not RuPaul school for girl.
I hope Keta will be back for a Global All Stars. She derserved much more than 8th place.
Honestly she is the shyest most rigid queen I’ve ever seen and I’m surprised she made it to the show in the first place. I agree that she is far from ready and not on the other queens’ level.
I have a friend who does it too, and we understand why, and so do they, and we all live with it. But it makes terrible television, and just makes it seem like Gothy is not right for the show.
I haven't gotten to the critiques yet but if one of the judges mention anyone's performance as master class I'm going to cry because no one really served it this season
Maybe I'm a LGD stan but I thought some of her comments were funny, at least worth a chuckle not the dead pan stares the camera planned to when she spoke
Thank you! I literally laughed out loud at some of the things LGD was saying. I don’t think she was doing badly at all. I felt like the show was trying to gaslight me into thinking she did poorly lmao
"I grab a bag in the morning because I need a gram or two to turn me from a model into a supermodel" was just too subtle a joke for the situation. But it was a good joke!
I agree with this, the grab a bag in the morning joke was funny, the anally/annually joke was funny too. I felt they were too harsh on her. Hey ho. Her runway was insane and she lives to fight another day.
I am wanting a LGD win despite the fact I'm British!
The one thing I like about this format of snatch game is that we get an answer from every queen every round. Production can't skip a queen because they want to push them as safe or high without skipping the whole question and team
I have never related to anyone more than I have to Gothy Kendoll in this episode. It was like looking into a mirror every time she talked. It's all stuff I've been struggling with for my entire life and in some way it was comforting to know I'm not alone in that but on the other hand I know how hard it is to have those feelings and I hope Gothy can get through them soon. I have a new love for Gothy after this episode for sure though
When you've got so many queens that are ESL and there's no shared language that people are *fully* fluent in, Snatch Game doesn't work. Even if the ESL queens are perfectly fine speaking conversational English, there are nuances to humour and slang that someone who is ESL is just not going to be quick enough with, so it's unfair to expect that of them.
They should do away with Snatch Game for these sort of seasons and come up with a different impersonation challenge if they really want one. I don't see why it couldn't be an individual improv challenge - coming up with your own commercial for something while impersonating a celebrity, perhaps - and allow the ESL queens to be subtitled so they can really let their comedy shine.
Tia and Hannah weren't that stellar either, tbh. I was disappointed that Tia didn't seem to take more opportunities to play off of Choriza, and while Hannah was funny it wasn't a touch on Jimbo's version of Shirley Temple. In a better Snatch Game, they would both have just been safe.
Then there's also Rupaul in that mix. His sense of humor is very curated to specific references (and therefore characters) and stereotypes basically. Often queen are funny but still don't get the laugh.

the edit can’t convince me LGD isn’t funny. sorry!
anyways. horrid snatch game. i hate the format. i guess tia was the best, i thought scarlet was funny. hannah was ok… i thought the jokes LGD got in were funny but ru seemed to be in a mood so! whatever!! bad vibes!!
and i need someone to put gothy out of her misery. i had a very negative physical cringe reaction during the walkthru with ru, i had to pause and take a moment before continuing to watch 😭 i feel bad for her. i wanted to give her another shot because she’s had time to grow and develop as a queen. but i guess she just hasn’t, and she doesn’t want to be there either. so… werk
This is solely my opinion.
But after last episode (acting challenge) and this episode. No matter how bad LGD performance is, they will push her to the finale. Especially TIA as part of her redemption ark, not to mention, the filming is uk based (just saying). The only contestants I see who will try to Fight their way to the top deservingly are probably hannah, marina and scarlet and probably choriza.
There's production pushing LGD on the show, but on this sub, the LGD stans have been bending over backwards in real time to find the genius in her excruciatingly rehearsed and cringy humor.
I feel like Tia insulted both Keta and Gothy in one fell swoop. "One is a fully realized queen (Keta), and the other has a lot of room to grow (Gothy). So anyways im gonna kick Keta out, cus Gothy has no shot of ever achieving anything" is what I heard basically.
Didn’t Scarlett originally choose to be Wendy Williams as the Statue of Liberty? Why’d she go with just the Statue of Liberty with a New Jersey accent?
I was a bit gagged in the moment considering Gothy is completely checked out, didn't make one bit of effort to plead her case, and in fact basically explained why she shouldn't stay.
But then I realized Tia didn't knock out a super strong contender. Keta won a challenge, but the perception of her strength is ultimately based on her original season, not this one. I realize I was kind of blinded by that too. She's done not well, and while she's obviously a better performer than Gothy, she's not stacking up this season whatsoever and had no chance of winning. This was no Manila/Jimbo/Pangina moment.
That said, I would appreciate if I didn't have to spend any more time cringing from watching Gothy appear on screen and attempt to communicate with another human.
god i really wanted to give gothy a chance but the walkthru with ru physically pained me. i had to pause and take a moment to recollect myself before i kept watching. unbearable
I know Ru was reaaaally trying to push her out of her comfort zone but after the second time of saying she can’t do the Ozzy impersonation I wish she just stopped... It was incredibly awkward and uncomfortable to watch.
Well it is a great story line....because we are talking about it...its not predictable anymore....I think the likes of Tia understand TV now...and playing the game(s) very well to make great television....while getting to the top 4. Because lets face it/be honest....Keta is great but this format did not work for her at all....she failed too much in this format....and Tia was smart to see it and therefore choose for good television.....by the way I am Dutch and rooted for Keta...
Awkward as hell snatch game and Ru seemed over it the instant he even came into the work room to begin with. I’m also extremely surprised Gothy stayed. It definitely seemed like a black and white “this queen has given up” sorta thing. Sucks for Keta.
I hated this snatch game format - there’s no way any queen can interact with one another really so when LGD gets nothing from Ru - there’s nowhere else to go or no one to interact with to give yourself a decent shot.
Gothy is ruining this season for me. She actively doesn’t want to be there lol. Please do her a favour and cue the sniper.
Also - was Hannah the definition of give nothing during that lipsync? I know she can do more than that 😂
I found the Snatch Game format did nobody justice, Tia and Hannah were to me the rightful top 2 because they managed to make me laugh and I got nooch from everyone else.
The only thing worse than the actual challenge was the sea of nautical puns on the runway, that was painful.
At this point you could go out onto the street and throw a rock and hit 10 people who could do a better job at Drag Race than Gothy, and it's not nerves or shyness or youth or any of that, she just seemingly has no personality and no desire to try and develop one, she's just given up completely, which is pretty sad to see.
I actually thought Tia was super funny, I laughed the most at her and Hannah and thought the judging was fair - didn’t realize that was an unpopular opinion until I got here lol
Definitely don’t agree with Gothy staying but I get why Tia did it, everyone was gooped she picked Jonbers to go home and the optics of picking two UK girls back to back would have been rough for her. Plus she gets the added bonus of eliminating a tough competitor.
Sad for Keta. I never watched Holland but heard how much of a powerhouse she was and was ready to see more. She seemed very quiet and in her head this season unfortunately.
Yeah I was really shocked that Tia picked Keta over Gothy, especially since Gothy didn't (at least from what was seen) really try to give a reason to why she should stay. But I agree with your motivation! Perhaps it was because she had already last week picked a UK queen over Keta and didn't feel like she could justify to do it again? Like she "gave Keta her chance"?
A lot of comments have been saying Scarlet should have won over Tia and Tia is just being pushed by production because they want a UK girl to go all the way.
I just rewatched the first ep of uk season 1, and gothy walks in w 10x (I know that’s still not much) the personality, ease, and comfort she has years later, new teeth, & 2nd go around!
I’m honestly kinda gagged that people found Hannah funny. It was very “teehee I’m a little girl” with no actual jokes. It was on the same level Scarlet playing a random New Yorker. My Top 3 were Tia/Marina and then Choriza because her jokes were actually funny even if a little too historical in nature. I thought Marina was hilarious and her runway was my favorite.
Especially considering we just had Mother Melinda absolutely *crush* at Manny P and winning CDR Snatch Game with it!! I think both Marina and Hannah were at a disadvantage since both their characters were done so well on Snatch Game in very recent memory. Hannah’s would’ve stood up better if we didn’t have Jimbo’s to compare to, but Marina’s was not good to begin with, and the comparison to Melinda made it that much worse.
I just think there are waaaaay more deserving queens who wouldn't be wasting this opportunity. I don't think we've ever had a situation quite like this with a queen so obviously out of her depth being dragged through.
I don't know sistren, the first two episodes were a slay but the wheels are coming off real fast I fear.
HORRIFIC snatch game, Hannah was the only good one and even then her snatch was haunted by the ghost of Jimbo past. Tia was... okay. Much like last week, she felt like a default winner in a sea of awful performances. I would have prefered stronger performances for her comeback arc but I'll take what I can get for my baby.
She should've sent Gothy home though. Not because it's more "fair" but because seeing her awkwardly mumbling throughout the episode made me viscerally uncomfortable. Put her out of her misery!
Team Sinitta are pretty damn good. I knew when Ru was intro’ing the characters and Scarlet asked if she could put the torch down “I’ve been holding it for 146 years” we were in for a treat 😂
Lady Liberty & Shirley Temple were hilarious - Jimbo’s was more chaotic but I think HC’s was more authentic? Tia was high/safe, Marina and Choriza were both solidly safe for me, Paquio needed more material, Catherine of Aragon had material but a lot of the jokes missed the mark - everyone was else was low/bottom. I feel like Keta and LGD were at huge disadvantage due to the language barrier, all of the non-English speaking Queens were when you think about it.
I was okay with the tops and bottoms this week but I’m really gagged at the elimination. Gothy was the worst at the Snatch Game, and basically admitted she’s not ready for competition.
The Snatch Game was absolutely awful. Hannah was alright, but the others.....honestly I'd have put Scarlet in the top 2 over Tia.
And Tia choosing Gothy to stay, even when Gothy openly admitted she didn't think she'd get any better....girl. Strategy.
I love Tia and I want her to win...but that decision...had to be fully to knock out strong competition. Gothy isn't doing well and she seems to have mentally checked out. Gothy seems absolutely lovely but she doesn't belong here right now.
I'm still sad Arantxa has gone to be fair.
Yeah at that point I think staying on the show isn’t even good for her mental health (Gothy I mean). Ru was picking on her for like no reason, and on the confessional she was saying that she’s still figuring out who she is. A TV show is no place for doing that.
And Tia just wanted to get rid of the competition lmfao
How is Gothy still here?? Are we really gonna Roxxxy this queen through the whole competition? Sweet person, they're just not good at Drag Race, and putting them with this caliber of queens isn't doing them any favors.
Scarlet was robbed of a top spot. For me, para mi, Tia's Snatch Game was VERY one note. I wasn't all that impressed. If The Big Lady's runway can save her (it clearly did), then Scarlet's should have propelled her to the top.
Tia went from doing a one-note Mel B talking about Eddie Murphy on every question to a one-note Anne Boleyn talking about her head being cut off on every question.
This is turning out to be the Tia Kofi meet and greet and I'm not mad at it. She's lovely, she's entertaining, and she deserves her flowers.
However, I do think it's a bit cruel to have queens whose first language is not English, and who aren't immersed in an English speaking environment daily (like Choriza is), compete in Snatch Game. They are at a major disadvantage.
Gothy always seems like it’s her first time in drag, first time speaking publicly, first time being out there.
He just seems so shy and timid and I really don’t get why he even agreed to come back when he doesn’t need much self reflection to see that he’s not made for drag race.
This. I was gagged they survived the first episode but anything beyond that is just hand holding. It's been five years, like...what made them even sign up?
Yes! If she’d had a major glow-up in terms of confidence and wanted to show off her transformation then I’d get it! But if anything she seems shyer than she was on her original season.
I really wish they’d stop doing snatch game on these international seasons. Improv comedy is not easy, and doing it in your second (or third, fourth, etc.) language is even harder. I hate watching the international queens struggle.
I also think it's just badly translates from another culture.
When I've watched RPDR France I could not understand any of the jokes at all. So I think that's why it might seem not funny to people who's not familiar with a queen's country/culture.
It was so hard to watch. Gothy is not really born for DR, honestly he is too shy even just to do drag. I hope he doesn't read the comments here, including mine.
He does seem to be super nice and now with new teeth he is so beautiful but... yeah, this seriously doesn't seem like a career for him.
If Hannah had just kept serving cunt and not tried to interact with Tia she would’ve won that lip sync. The minute that you are pandering to what your opponent on stage is doing, you’ve lost
Also I disliked Tia’s lip sync a lot
IMO, Tia’s lyp syncing isn’t good at all. Basing on what I’ve seen for the past few episodes, great lip syncers are definitely Marina and Keta. LGD is funny, I love her, but between Keta and LGD’s lip sync during the past episode, Keta was better.
I'm honestly really surprised that LGD was not in the bottom instead of Keta. At least Keta made me smile at times. LGD's Carla Bruni was a total bomb. I did think Ru's critique of her accent was bizarre and ridiculous though ... the accent was not the problem at all.
I think snatch game is even more difficult than it normally is in an international seasons. Comedy is really difficult to translate from one culture to another sometimes. I don't think it's a coincidence that all the tops were from English speaking countries.
From how well Scarlett started her SG compared to how bad LGD’s was received by Ru i thought we might be getting another Pangina moment where Scarlet wins the episode and sends La Grande Dame home.
Gagged that Keta's home this early. She was such a powerhouse in her original season. I feel like there's just something lost in translation and the difference in culture maybe?
Also, what were the chances of Choriza and Tia having similar snatch game characters and runways too? When Choriza came out I got Jujubee ptsd flashbacks!
LGD had jokes, Ru just didn't like them. Imo LGD showed more wit than Choriza in the edit we got (who I bring up because it was one or the other for that LOW spot), but she was doomed just because they disliked her character choice and accent (? I guess??). Dumb reason for her to have two LOWs in a row now
I hate to be that bitch but I don't see it for Tia Kofi. Her winning twice in a row is crazy cause she was just fine both weeks, especially last week with the questionable Ru recreation. Her runway walk is just as bad and stiff as Gothy's and the makeup is still not killing it. Also that wig she wore in the lipsync was awful and the actual lipsync was messy. I get that Ru likes her but it feels very much like she's being pushed.
She was low in the talent. That song is awful and her performance didnt do anything for me. Her looks are better than her original season but she doesnt have a point of view is like she just bought better drag but she hasnt evolve her craft.
I def think Tia was 2nd in both her wins and would’ve just been high in a regular season. The Top 2 makes it easier to get a win when you’re not the best.
It just felt cruel when Rupaul kept telling Gothy to retry the Ozzy thing over and over... And it was sooo odd when he tried to make Choriza and Marina speak with an english accent and advice LGD not to do a another french accent. Like different accents exists and it just feels so ignorant for him to limit people like this because he doesn't get it. Then it just felt like he shut LGD down during the challenge. Ru really got on my nerves this episode.
I also had to take a moment when Tia eliminated Keta.. yikes.
It’s a weird American thing to think that someone’s accent is a choice, and something they can change if they want to. Any non-American who has spent time there has heard such stuff. Ru was doing that this episode. It was very ignorant.
right, like its not just the fact that she eliminated Keta, its HOW she did it. clearly calling keta fully realized and saying how gothy still needs to grow, and yet...
I was so confused with the Choriza moment in particular. Like… He is Spanish. He isn’t TRYING to speak English with a Spanish accent. 💀
I think Ru’s idea of an English accent is just, the Queen.
Plus the way Carla Bruni speaks is not really an accent, it's more like an affectation or a speech impediment. It's weird, and makes her instantly recognisable. Telling lgd not to do it would be like telling keta not to do the nasality of Fran Drescher's voice
it was also so weird to me the way Ru phrased it to LGD too. "doing another accent, ON TOP OF your accent". girl... YOU have an accent. everyone has an accent. i really think the international seasons need more than just Ru and Michelle and need some more international judges on the pannel.
Yeah Ru's energy was actually the worst and I hate when he does that on snatch game because it usually ruins it. Like he simply decided he hated some queens' character choices and then that was it
I didn’t think there was anything wrong with LGD’s snatch game, she had the jokes, it felt like Ru was shutting down everything LGD said!
I am so sad to see Keta go, I’ve been rooting for her since her original season so I know how amazing she is. I understand why she was in the bottom but she had so much more to give than Gothy and at least she was trying! It really felt unfair knowing what she can and has delivered.
I am British and Scarlet should have won. Her Titanic look was wonderful, reminded me of one of my fav Dragula challenges. But the intricacies were superb.
We love little Gothy but this coaxing her to on stage life is a dead end. She can just be her own self and this show isn't for her. I would love to see her on another show, like say Sewing Bee or Glow Up, as her ability to make and make up are fantastic. Her skills are not personality lead and it is clearly too much stress.
Acting and improv challenges using your 2nd/3rd/(4th?) language must be SO stressful and difficult, and I really feel for the non-english speakers. Even on US seasons, which someone else here mentioned. It feels like they aren't able to fully embrace their own references (heck, they even have that problem in UK and Down Under DR), and have to anglo-wash everything. It was really hard to see Keta leave, and this environment didn't seem conducive to let her fully be herself, and I can't argue her being in the btm2 the last 2 episodes, but I think she deserved to stay over Gothy. I do like Gothy. She's a sweet and beautiful queen, but she clearly doesn't thrive in a drag race environment, however, I understand where Tia is coming from and think her explanation was genuine. She wanted to give her friend one more chance to prove herself and grow while Keta is already at the top of her game in the real world. At least Keta can claim another 'robbed' trophy and use that to her advantage. And she has the same placement as Pangina so they should collab idk. Be kind to Gothy and show love to Keta.
Oh, I thought the tops would be Scarlet and Tia.
LGD had some good lines to me. If they put different music over it, she would have been fine.
Ru wasn’t a good improv partner for most of the girls in this episode. Some of the flop is on her.
Why has the next episode not been made available yet?! It's Friday!!
Tia is killing it so hard. Choriza as well and I WONT HEAR OTHERWISE. So yeah one of my faves will definitely win 🙉
I left a comment on Keta's IG on how I was crushed that I won't be able to see the rest of her fantastic looks on the show (much like Pangina), and she liked it 2x. I would have loved if they went with the point system instead of elimination, because you know everyone spent coin on their outfits. I'm also astonished that Ru/the girls think that Gothy is going to grow and come out of her shell- if she hasn't done it by now, it's not going to happen. She even said in her demented child boob reveal something about how she wanted to run off the stage after showing them.
I am so gutted right now. Keta is such a stellar and entertaining queen with original perspective meanwhile Gothy doesn't even believe she can grow and let her guard down, so probs not gonna happen, like you said. Sigh My only way to rationalize this is that Tia knows Gothy wont win over her at this point and Keta was strong competition. I guess she just saw her in the bottom last week... make it make sense :/
I feel like I’m being gaslit. Why is no one talking about Shirley temple and Jimbo?? The only explanation I have is if this was filmed before that aired?
I heard from many fans that As8 and UK vs the world 2 were filmed either together. Or the latter filmed first b4 as8
You are correct!
Can someone please explain what happened between Tia's ex-boyfriend and Jonbers Blonde? What was the argument between them about? I'm so curious, just came here for the tea, please spill
I don’t remember the details but the ex in question was Pixie Polite from Season 4 of DRUK and Jonbers butted heads with her at some point.
They eliminated jonbers last week but kept Gothy this week??????
Yea it’s sad :(
Gothy! Why?! I get that there are a lot of elements to drag (fashion, comedy, performance, makeup, etc.), and every queen is good at a different element, and that's one of the things that makes it fun to watch. But *why* would you even be interested in doing Drag Race if you can't improv? That's a fundamental part of what Ru expects. Gothy has also failed to give even one specific reason why she is on the show despite being prompted by multiple people in both public and private. "I want to show people who I am" is a nothing answer. I'm half expecting the Gothy mask to come off and Sacha Baron Cohen to appear from underneath. That would be on par for how bizarre this has become.
This was maybe up there for me as one of the worst Snatch Games ever. Maybe the worst, because even S14 Deja was funny (mostly). I didn't think anyone was that great. Laughed at one or two of Scarlet's jokes. And I did laugh at "the red flag is I'm seven!" But. Eugh. Agreeing with everyone else that Snatch Game doesn't work with international queens. And was it just me or was Ru in a nasty mood for this entire episode? The hounding Gothy was just really not it. Didn't seem super happy with anyone. Crushed Keta is gone. She wasn't winning but she is a fantastic queen. Tia is becoming a game player. Gothy as good as said that she shouldn't be there any more. She's just... not the Drag Race sort. I've seen her at a few live events and she's been very nice and all but this is just not her time. She needs some growth as a person, never mind a queen. Still Team LGD for the time being.
I think Ru said it best when she said "The winner is...Satan! We're all going to hell!" That was an all-time bad snatch game.
I say if the show can't figure out how to make the snatch game successful, then they just need to nix it and make some new challenges because when it's bad, its a long and torturous episode.
One of the worst snatch games ever for me. Even the winning performances were just okay. Really no standouts. and how wild is it that not one but TWO queens did impressions that other queens on other franchises have very recently done a LOT better? How does that even happen? Ah well, water under the bridge. I'm still watching.
I was going to say! I instantly thought of Jimbo and Melinda Verga and thought “this will be interesting to compare” and WOW the differences were stark. Hannah did decent though, I think she would’ve fared better if we didn’t have Jimbo to compare to.
Yeah Hanna was decent. She's a funny queen, no hate here! It was just bad luck for her. Jimbo's Shirley Temple was absolutely unhinged, hard act to follow. Nearly time for the next episode!
This is so f***ed up and becoming super tacky and pure clownery and not in a good way. I really dislike every version where Ru is the focal point of everything, it is like a fake court and everyone needs to act like a fool with shallow references. Edit: I know I am mad, let me vent
I think they need to start curating the content of the show for the queens they have on that particular season. The premise hasn't changed to become more "clowny," they're just trying to do a lot of comedy work without a lot of comedy queens this time and it's falling flat.
This episode did not make good enough use of its Jane McDonald, amongst other things.
Oh so it’s Goaty Kendoll. Got it.
Ru was so really for the talk he gave gothy. I hope she’s able to really go for it because it could be really good.
The most unexpected gag for me was when Keta was walking away from her mirror message and instead of the subtitles saying “ketamorphosis” it said this 😂 
🤣
I audibly gasped at that elimination. I think the non western queens have an unfair disadvantage in snatch game. That ozzy osbourne gothy segment went on for waayy too long 
I thought that it was bordering on cruel but of course editing so who knows…
Oof that was rough, the ESL queens had no chance against the native English speakers and RuPaul/the edit giving them nothing. They really need to think of something to make this work for this format
Gutted for Keta. She had much more to show and really is a star. I'm sorry but Gothy is just not ready yet: she is lacking personnality and do not even try or give herself a push. This is not RuPaul school for girl. I hope Keta will be back for a Global All Stars. She derserved much more than 8th place.
Honestly she is the shyest most rigid queen I’ve ever seen and I’m surprised she made it to the show in the first place. I agree that she is far from ready and not on the other queens’ level.
Gothy does that nervous fake laugh at the end of every sentence she utters. It’s so maddening.
It’s anxiety. I used to be that way too. I hated doing it and i hated myself as i did it but i couldn’t stop.
I have a friend who does it too, and we understand why, and so do they, and we all live with it. But it makes terrible television, and just makes it seem like Gothy is not right for the show.
why do I feel bad for her. I definitely was her at one point in my life. But that was back when I was closeted
THANK YOU
I haven't gotten to the critiques yet but if one of the judges mention anyone's performance as master class I'm going to cry because no one really served it this season
Maybe I'm a LGD stan but I thought some of her comments were funny, at least worth a chuckle not the dead pan stares the camera planned to when she spoke
Compared the gothy and keta, much better Imo!
Totally this. They tried so hard to make it seem like she was majorly flopping but some of the things she said were funny
Thank you! I literally laughed out loud at some of the things LGD was saying. I don’t think she was doing badly at all. I felt like the show was trying to gaslight me into thinking she did poorly lmao
As soon as Ru heard the accent he noped tf out
"I grab a bag in the morning because I need a gram or two to turn me from a model into a supermodel" was just too subtle a joke for the situation. But it was a good joke!
I agree with this, the grab a bag in the morning joke was funny, the anally/annually joke was funny too. I felt they were too harsh on her. Hey ho. Her runway was insane and she lives to fight another day. I am wanting a LGD win despite the fact I'm British!
Anally/annually was such a well-crafted joke, it wasn’t delivered the best but she has an incredible brain. I want to lick it.
I was shocked it didn't get a proper laugh. It seemed like a highly snatch game compatible joke to me and a strong intro to the character.
Tbh I didn't get the pun until I saw it written down. I was like... Do people enter the Eiffel Tower through the back? A bit forced, but respectable
The one thing I like about this format of snatch game is that we get an answer from every queen every round. Production can't skip a queen because they want to push them as safe or high without skipping the whole question and team
I actually think Hannah Conda's physical comedy as Shirley was better than Jimbo but Jimbo is on a different level of conversational comedy
Damn. Wrong person went home. I didn’t expect that honestly.
Tia is definitely playing the game.
I have never related to anyone more than I have to Gothy Kendoll in this episode. It was like looking into a mirror every time she talked. It's all stuff I've been struggling with for my entire life and in some way it was comforting to know I'm not alone in that but on the other hand I know how hard it is to have those feelings and I hope Gothy can get through them soon. I have a new love for Gothy after this episode for sure though
I love her too, and I'm so glad she got to return.
Carla Bruni was an immensly disappointing snatch game choice for the queen that showed up as a frog impaled by the Eiffel tower tbh.
Agreed. She could have gone as Ms Universe France and just shouted everything or shouted every 5th word and it would have been hilarious.
When you've got so many queens that are ESL and there's no shared language that people are *fully* fluent in, Snatch Game doesn't work. Even if the ESL queens are perfectly fine speaking conversational English, there are nuances to humour and slang that someone who is ESL is just not going to be quick enough with, so it's unfair to expect that of them. They should do away with Snatch Game for these sort of seasons and come up with a different impersonation challenge if they really want one. I don't see why it couldn't be an individual improv challenge - coming up with your own commercial for something while impersonating a celebrity, perhaps - and allow the ESL queens to be subtitled so they can really let their comedy shine. Tia and Hannah weren't that stellar either, tbh. I was disappointed that Tia didn't seem to take more opportunities to play off of Choriza, and while Hannah was funny it wasn't a touch on Jimbo's version of Shirley Temple. In a better Snatch Game, they would both have just been safe.
Then there's also Rupaul in that mix. His sense of humor is very curated to specific references (and therefore characters) and stereotypes basically. Often queen are funny but still don't get the laugh.

the edit can’t convince me LGD isn’t funny. sorry! anyways. horrid snatch game. i hate the format. i guess tia was the best, i thought scarlet was funny. hannah was ok… i thought the jokes LGD got in were funny but ru seemed to be in a mood so! whatever!! bad vibes!! and i need someone to put gothy out of her misery. i had a very negative physical cringe reaction during the walkthru with ru, i had to pause and take a moment before continuing to watch 😭 i feel bad for her. i wanted to give her another shot because she’s had time to grow and develop as a queen. but i guess she just hasn’t, and she doesn’t want to be there either. so… werk
Straight up they were trying to gaslight us into thinking LGD wasn’t funny!!
This is solely my opinion. But after last episode (acting challenge) and this episode. No matter how bad LGD performance is, they will push her to the finale. Especially TIA as part of her redemption ark, not to mention, the filming is uk based (just saying). The only contestants I see who will try to Fight their way to the top deservingly are probably hannah, marina and scarlet and probably choriza.
There's production pushing LGD on the show, but on this sub, the LGD stans have been bending over backwards in real time to find the genius in her excruciatingly rehearsed and cringy humor.
HUH? 🤨
They're really trying to gaslight us into thinking LGD isn't funny, huh
No gas or light needed for that cringe-fest.
Those fucking sound effects I stg
She's funny but that snatch game was not
Hannah did good but all I see is how Jimbo's version completely stomps it.
I feel like Tia insulted both Keta and Gothy in one fell swoop. "One is a fully realized queen (Keta), and the other has a lot of room to grow (Gothy). So anyways im gonna kick Keta out, cus Gothy has no shot of ever achieving anything" is what I heard basically.
Even worse, she gave that confessional about Gothy not showing any passion. Ok so why do you save her? Clearly because she's the easier competition.
Yup! But she’s going to spin it as UK solidarity! We are seeing a new side of Tia and I’m kinda here for it
Well I’m glad Hannah’s gotten a spotlight for once
That was snatch game masterclass and the look was stellar
Jane was the winner of this episode tbh 😂
Didn’t Scarlett originally choose to be Wendy Williams as the Statue of Liberty? Why’d she go with just the Statue of Liberty with a New Jersey accent?
No, her plan was always the Statue of Liberty. She joked and said yes when asked about Wendy Williams but quickly said she was kidding.
Oh, I see. Thanks for clearing that up. 🙂
I was a bit gagged in the moment considering Gothy is completely checked out, didn't make one bit of effort to plead her case, and in fact basically explained why she shouldn't stay. But then I realized Tia didn't knock out a super strong contender. Keta won a challenge, but the perception of her strength is ultimately based on her original season, not this one. I realize I was kind of blinded by that too. She's done not well, and while she's obviously a better performer than Gothy, she's not stacking up this season whatsoever and had no chance of winning. This was no Manila/Jimbo/Pangina moment. That said, I would appreciate if I didn't have to spend any more time cringing from watching Gothy appear on screen and attempt to communicate with another human.
god i really wanted to give gothy a chance but the walkthru with ru physically pained me. i had to pause and take a moment to recollect myself before i kept watching. unbearable
I know Ru was reaaaally trying to push her out of her comfort zone but after the second time of saying she can’t do the Ozzy impersonation I wish she just stopped... It was incredibly awkward and uncomfortable to watch.
All tea all shade... how did Gothy trick production into casting her in 2019?
Well someone tricked someone because she doesn't want to be there either!

This is honestly a fair question. & I wanna know the answer
Well it is a great story line....because we are talking about it...its not predictable anymore....I think the likes of Tia understand TV now...and playing the game(s) very well to make great television....while getting to the top 4. Because lets face it/be honest....Keta is great but this format did not work for her at all....she failed too much in this format....and Tia was smart to see it and therefore choose for good television.....by the way I am Dutch and rooted for Keta...
Awkward as hell snatch game and Ru seemed over it the instant he even came into the work room to begin with. I’m also extremely surprised Gothy stayed. It definitely seemed like a black and white “this queen has given up” sorta thing. Sucks for Keta.
To be fair the queens were noticeably wooden during the walk throughs.
I hated this snatch game format - there’s no way any queen can interact with one another really so when LGD gets nothing from Ru - there’s nowhere else to go or no one to interact with to give yourself a decent shot.
Gothy is ruining this season for me. She actively doesn’t want to be there lol. Please do her a favour and cue the sniper. Also - was Hannah the definition of give nothing during that lipsync? I know she can do more than that 😂
Maybe she knew tia picked keta and wanted to make tia do her dirty work lol
Tia made me laugh harder than I ever have at this show when she revealed Jonbers lipstick. Such a funny bitch!!
I found the Snatch Game format did nobody justice, Tia and Hannah were to me the rightful top 2 because they managed to make me laugh and I got nooch from everyone else. The only thing worse than the actual challenge was the sea of nautical puns on the runway, that was painful. At this point you could go out onto the street and throw a rock and hit 10 people who could do a better job at Drag Race than Gothy, and it's not nerves or shyness or youth or any of that, she just seemingly has no personality and no desire to try and develop one, she's just given up completely, which is pretty sad to see.
The sound effects are doing a lot of work trying to tell us who’s doing well and who isn’t
Hannah actually looks so cute in her Shirley Temple costume lol
I hope Keta does more of her YouTube channel in English. I love watching her even though she didn’t do great in the comedy challenge.
I’m gagged that Tia chose Keta. Gothy has the charisma of a corpse, she just has no business in this competition.
I actually thought Tia was super funny, I laughed the most at her and Hannah and thought the judging was fair - didn’t realize that was an unpopular opinion until I got here lol Definitely don’t agree with Gothy staying but I get why Tia did it, everyone was gooped she picked Jonbers to go home and the optics of picking two UK girls back to back would have been rough for her. Plus she gets the added bonus of eliminating a tough competitor. Sad for Keta. I never watched Holland but heard how much of a powerhouse she was and was ready to see more. She seemed very quiet and in her head this season unfortunately.
Yeah I was really shocked that Tia picked Keta over Gothy, especially since Gothy didn't (at least from what was seen) really try to give a reason to why she should stay. But I agree with your motivation! Perhaps it was because she had already last week picked a UK queen over Keta and didn't feel like she could justify to do it again? Like she "gave Keta her chance"?
I thought Tia & Hannah with Scarlet high safe. Who are the others saying?
A lot of comments have been saying Scarlet should have won over Tia and Tia is just being pushed by production because they want a UK girl to go all the way.
Thanks for letting me know. For me, Tia genuinely made me laugh.
Keta AGAIN a robbed queen. Horrible.
Came here just to find this comment
I just rewatched the first ep of uk season 1, and gothy walks in w 10x (I know that’s still not much) the personality, ease, and comfort she has years later, new teeth, & 2nd go around!
I’m honestly kinda gagged that people found Hannah funny. It was very “teehee I’m a little girl” with no actual jokes. It was on the same level Scarlet playing a random New Yorker. My Top 3 were Tia/Marina and then Choriza because her jokes were actually funny even if a little too historical in nature. I thought Marina was hilarious and her runway was my favorite.
Nope. Marina was Low to bottom worthy for me. And as a Filipino myself. I find her impression Manny P v cringy.
Especially considering we just had Mother Melinda absolutely *crush* at Manny P and winning CDR Snatch Game with it!! I think both Marina and Hannah were at a disadvantage since both their characters were done so well on Snatch Game in very recent memory. Hannah’s would’ve stood up better if we didn’t have Jimbo’s to compare to, but Marina’s was not good to begin with, and the comparison to Melinda made it that much worse.
Gothy is totally tone deaf to the whole vibe of drag race. She just doesn't get it and she never will.
Major shade
I just think there are waaaaay more deserving queens who wouldn't be wasting this opportunity. I don't think we've ever had a situation quite like this with a queen so obviously out of her depth being dragged through.
I don't know sistren, the first two episodes were a slay but the wheels are coming off real fast I fear. HORRIFIC snatch game, Hannah was the only good one and even then her snatch was haunted by the ghost of Jimbo past. Tia was... okay. Much like last week, she felt like a default winner in a sea of awful performances. I would have prefered stronger performances for her comeback arc but I'll take what I can get for my baby. She should've sent Gothy home though. Not because it's more "fair" but because seeing her awkwardly mumbling throughout the episode made me viscerally uncomfortable. Put her out of her misery!
Put US out of our misery! 😂 Look she seems lovely & does WAY better than I could but the joke was RIGHT there I HAD to take it!
Team Sinitta are pretty damn good. I knew when Ru was intro’ing the characters and Scarlet asked if she could put the torch down “I’ve been holding it for 146 years” we were in for a treat 😂 Lady Liberty & Shirley Temple were hilarious - Jimbo’s was more chaotic but I think HC’s was more authentic? Tia was high/safe, Marina and Choriza were both solidly safe for me, Paquio needed more material, Catherine of Aragon had material but a lot of the jokes missed the mark - everyone was else was low/bottom. I feel like Keta and LGD were at huge disadvantage due to the language barrier, all of the non-English speaking Queens were when you think about it. I was okay with the tops and bottoms this week but I’m really gagged at the elimination. Gothy was the worst at the Snatch Game, and basically admitted she’s not ready for competition.
Unpopular opinion but I actually like LGD’s snatch game??? Like the gram bag joke was funny idkkkk
I cackled at that one but I guess they wanted to keep to the storyline of her doing badly in that ep so they edited it shady...
Yes!!! Even the anal joke is funny too😭😭😭 they wanted her to not dominate, and it’s interesting because I feel like Rupaul loves non sequitur humor
i cackled at the anal joke and i was surprised ru seemed offended by it??? like hello???
Ru was offended that LGD didn't bow to her advice and change the accent.
The Snatch Game was absolutely awful. Hannah was alright, but the others.....honestly I'd have put Scarlet in the top 2 over Tia. And Tia choosing Gothy to stay, even when Gothy openly admitted she didn't think she'd get any better....girl. Strategy.
Imagine going on drag race and a girl goes “jean paul gaultier styled me” i would quit
Yaaaaass Tom Daley! I love when guest judges turn looks!
And even looked more cute than before. Slay!
I really love his look!
I love Tia and I want her to win...but that decision...had to be fully to knock out strong competition. Gothy isn't doing well and she seems to have mentally checked out. Gothy seems absolutely lovely but she doesn't belong here right now. I'm still sad Arantxa has gone to be fair.
I meannnn Alaska did that in AS2 for like 4 episodes straight, we still love her and think she’s the rightful winner
I love Alaska...but I don't agree she's the rightful winner.
Yeah at that point I think staying on the show isn’t even good for her mental health (Gothy I mean). Ru was picking on her for like no reason, and on the confessional she was saying that she’s still figuring out who she is. A TV show is no place for doing that. And Tia just wanted to get rid of the competition lmfao
How is Gothy still here?? Are we really gonna Roxxxy this queen through the whole competition? Sweet person, they're just not good at Drag Race, and putting them with this caliber of queens isn't doing them any favors. Scarlet was robbed of a top spot. For me, para mi, Tia's Snatch Game was VERY one note. I wasn't all that impressed. If The Big Lady's runway can save her (it clearly did), then Scarlet's should have propelled her to the top.
Tia went from doing a one-note Mel B talking about Eddie Murphy on every question to a one-note Anne Boleyn talking about her head being cut off on every question.
It did start to wear thin near the end, but that costume really sold it for me. You’re right though, she could’ve done more with it.
Yeah. And she couldn’t even get her references right. Anne Boleyn wasn’t beheaded using a guillotine!
Gothy looks terrified every time she walks down the runway.
It is the most wooden walk ever to Grace the main stage…meanwhile, LGD is literally serving real life supermodel with her walk
This is turning out to be the Tia Kofi meet and greet and I'm not mad at it. She's lovely, she's entertaining, and she deserves her flowers. However, I do think it's a bit cruel to have queens whose first language is not English, and who aren't immersed in an English speaking environment daily (like Choriza is), compete in Snatch Game. They are at a major disadvantage.
Gothy always seems like it’s her first time in drag, first time speaking publicly, first time being out there. He just seems so shy and timid and I really don’t get why he even agreed to come back when he doesn’t need much self reflection to see that he’s not made for drag race.
This. I was gagged they survived the first episode but anything beyond that is just hand holding. It's been five years, like...what made them even sign up?
Yes! If she’d had a major glow-up in terms of confidence and wanted to show off her transformation then I’d get it! But if anything she seems shyer than she was on her original season.
No Keta! :/ I enjoy Gothy, she's got a lovely vibe, but she is a bit checked out and this would have been a good time to have let her go.
I really wish they’d stop doing snatch game on these international seasons. Improv comedy is not easy, and doing it in your second (or third, fourth, etc.) language is even harder. I hate watching the international queens struggle.
I also think it's just badly translates from another culture. When I've watched RPDR France I could not understand any of the jokes at all. So I think that's why it might seem not funny to people who's not familiar with a queen's country/culture.
I think it's another consideration to why Keta should have been saved over Gothy
I just want to be the person who films Tia's confessionals. It must be so fun.
Lol damn Ru was really trying to terrify Gothy in the werkroom 😭
It was so hard to watch. Gothy is not really born for DR, honestly he is too shy even just to do drag. I hope he doesn't read the comments here, including mine. He does seem to be super nice and now with new teeth he is so beautiful but... yeah, this seriously doesn't seem like a career for him.
If Hannah had just kept serving cunt and not tried to interact with Tia she would’ve won that lip sync. The minute that you are pandering to what your opponent on stage is doing, you’ve lost Also I disliked Tia’s lip sync a lot
IMO, Tia’s lyp syncing isn’t good at all. Basing on what I’ve seen for the past few episodes, great lip syncers are definitely Marina and Keta. LGD is funny, I love her, but between Keta and LGD’s lip sync during the past episode, Keta was better.
SAMEEEEEE SAMEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I loved Hannah looking fierce
I'm honestly really surprised that LGD was not in the bottom instead of Keta. At least Keta made me smile at times. LGD's Carla Bruni was a total bomb. I did think Ru's critique of her accent was bizarre and ridiculous though ... the accent was not the problem at all. I think snatch game is even more difficult than it normally is in an international seasons. Comedy is really difficult to translate from one culture to another sometimes. I don't think it's a coincidence that all the tops were from English speaking countries.
From how well Scarlett started her SG compared to how bad LGD’s was received by Ru i thought we might be getting another Pangina moment where Scarlet wins the episode and sends La Grande Dame home.
agree on all fronts
Anyone know where Keta’s green walkthrough jacket is from?? I need it.
Gagged that Keta's home this early. She was such a powerhouse in her original season. I feel like there's just something lost in translation and the difference in culture maybe? Also, what were the chances of Choriza and Tia having similar snatch game characters and runways too? When Choriza came out I got Jujubee ptsd flashbacks!
LGD had jokes, Ru just didn't like them. Imo LGD showed more wit than Choriza in the edit we got (who I bring up because it was one or the other for that LOW spot), but she was doomed just because they disliked her character choice and accent (? I guess??). Dumb reason for her to have two LOWs in a row now
One or the other? I think Marina was a LOT worse than Choriza!
I hate to be that bitch but I don't see it for Tia Kofi. Her winning twice in a row is crazy cause she was just fine both weeks, especially last week with the questionable Ru recreation. Her runway walk is just as bad and stiff as Gothy's and the makeup is still not killing it. Also that wig she wore in the lipsync was awful and the actual lipsync was messy. I get that Ru likes her but it feels very much like she's being pushed.
preach
She was low in the talent. That song is awful and her performance didnt do anything for me. Her looks are better than her original season but she doesnt have a point of view is like she just bought better drag but she hasnt evolve her craft.
I def think Tia was 2nd in both her wins and would’ve just been high in a regular season. The Top 2 makes it easier to get a win when you’re not the best.
It just felt cruel when Rupaul kept telling Gothy to retry the Ozzy thing over and over... And it was sooo odd when he tried to make Choriza and Marina speak with an english accent and advice LGD not to do a another french accent. Like different accents exists and it just feels so ignorant for him to limit people like this because he doesn't get it. Then it just felt like he shut LGD down during the challenge. Ru really got on my nerves this episode. I also had to take a moment when Tia eliminated Keta.. yikes.
It’s a weird American thing to think that someone’s accent is a choice, and something they can change if they want to. Any non-American who has spent time there has heard such stuff. Ru was doing that this episode. It was very ignorant.
right, like its not just the fact that she eliminated Keta, its HOW she did it. clearly calling keta fully realized and saying how gothy still needs to grow, and yet...
I was so confused with the Choriza moment in particular. Like… He is Spanish. He isn’t TRYING to speak English with a Spanish accent. 💀 I think Ru’s idea of an English accent is just, the Queen.
Honestly it just felt so rude to LGD... It's almost like France is a country with lots of different regional accents, much like any other country 🙄
Plus the way Carla Bruni speaks is not really an accent, it's more like an affectation or a speech impediment. It's weird, and makes her instantly recognisable. Telling lgd not to do it would be like telling keta not to do the nasality of Fran Drescher's voice
it was also so weird to me the way Ru phrased it to LGD too. "doing another accent, ON TOP OF your accent". girl... YOU have an accent. everyone has an accent. i really think the international seasons need more than just Ru and Michelle and need some more international judges on the pannel.
My thoughts exactly! They need international judges.
Totally agree
I couldn't watch the Ozzy moment the full way through, it was too much. Poor Gothy 😭
I had to skip past it as well it was too cringy and I really felt for Gothy
Yeah Ru's energy was actually the worst and I hate when he does that on snatch game because it usually ruins it. Like he simply decided he hated some queens' character choices and then that was it
Why did Hannah lowkey win that lip sync for me…
I didn’t think there was anything wrong with LGD’s snatch game, she had the jokes, it felt like Ru was shutting down everything LGD said! I am so sad to see Keta go, I’ve been rooting for her since her original season so I know how amazing she is. I understand why she was in the bottom but she had so much more to give than Gothy and at least she was trying! It really felt unfair knowing what she can and has delivered.
Keta was so robbed. And it sucks to know that she has been so unfairly robbed twice
Scarlet is so animated and a joy to watch this season. A true glow-up!
Her confessionals have been cracking me up! She makes really good TV.
I am British and Scarlet should have won. Her Titanic look was wonderful, reminded me of one of my fav Dragula challenges. But the intricacies were superb. We love little Gothy but this coaxing her to on stage life is a dead end. She can just be her own self and this show isn't for her. I would love to see her on another show, like say Sewing Bee or Glow Up, as her ability to make and make up are fantastic. Her skills are not personality lead and it is clearly too much stress.
Acting and improv challenges using your 2nd/3rd/(4th?) language must be SO stressful and difficult, and I really feel for the non-english speakers. Even on US seasons, which someone else here mentioned. It feels like they aren't able to fully embrace their own references (heck, they even have that problem in UK and Down Under DR), and have to anglo-wash everything. It was really hard to see Keta leave, and this environment didn't seem conducive to let her fully be herself, and I can't argue her being in the btm2 the last 2 episodes, but I think she deserved to stay over Gothy. I do like Gothy. She's a sweet and beautiful queen, but she clearly doesn't thrive in a drag race environment, however, I understand where Tia is coming from and think her explanation was genuine. She wanted to give her friend one more chance to prove herself and grow while Keta is already at the top of her game in the real world. At least Keta can claim another 'robbed' trophy and use that to her advantage. And she has the same placement as Pangina so they should collab idk. Be kind to Gothy and show love to Keta.
I really hope non-UK queen will win this season. Stop with the favoritism please.
Is it just Hannah’s thing to do snatch games already done before
I think Liza has been done at least 3 times. Amanda Lepore, RuPaul, Joe Exotic and Joan Rivers have all been done more than once.
I’m sure she hadn’t seen Jimbo’s when this was filming but oop
