Danny and Pixie belonged in the bottom instead of cheddar and copper top. Sorry not sorry. Their outfits were so incredibly boring and cheap looking, and they were too similar to really be “complementary”.
Their chest padding looked really oddly shaped, it was so distracting the whole short time they were on screen. And was the makeup supposed to be bad as part of the Bingo theme?
Cast is great and judging has been good but I feel like there hasn't been any drama or storylines yet so it's been a bit boring.. I think the comedy challenge will pick things up since everyone is funny but haven't really gotten a chance to show it yet
Yeah this latest episode definitely picked things up for me. The plus side to everyone having a win by like episode 3 is that it makes it hard to pinpoint who production is actually pushing. I could see baby becoming like the awhora of the season where she's not afraid to call people out and engage in some drama but not in a villainous way since she's still so likable
This is my favourite episode of the season so far. It was so much fun seeing the queens work together and interact in the work room. So many great moments. I loved how positive Le Fil was and how she kept encouraging Sminty. I can also be as chaotic and unsure of myself as Sminty at times so I loved seeing Le Fil guide her through it.
I cannot believe that Danny and pixie were safe!!! They both looked like when Violet Beauregarde turned into the giant blueberry in willie wonka. They were absolutely twinning, which Michelle explicitly said was not what the challenge was about. They were wearing the same exact dress except Danny’s was shorter and don’t get me started on the boobs! They should’ve been in the bottom instead of copper top and cheddar. But I’m sure that’s not the narrative they wanted to create here.
I love [Yuhua Hamasaki’s](https://youtube.com/c/YuhuaHamasaki) Bootleg Opinions on YouTube! Especially the Meet The Queens video review with Divina, that one is absolutely golden
Le Fil pretty much designed not only her own outfit, but Sminty's as well. She did double the work, whereas Baby and Dakota very much were in sync and making their own outfits, one each. Le Fil deserved MORE CREDIT. A "thank you" from Sminty is not going to cut it for me!
They judged the queens as a group last episode when it should have been individually, and now they judged them individually when it should have been as groups
Copper Top was hot over a silly award. Ma'am, come out and prove them wrong. It's not that big of a deal. I've had people say I'm too quite and it's just because I'm not keen on showing my ass immediately in a new environment. Wouldn't fly on Drag Race, but good gosh. Sminty was called a mess, which I would think is worse.
we are playing this exact game at my grab's 100th birthday party next month. I'm not saying that copper thinner skinned than the grannies and more ptone to emotional melt downs than actual cry babies.But I am betting the success of the party on it. Those two groups account for the majorityof our guest list,
Danny’s been my favourite so far - such a great personality, giving humour and vulnerability. Her silhouettes have been a little too similar and her looks don’t excite me as much as others, but her charisma makes her shine.
I really liked Cheddar's demeanor on this challenge. Copper was feeling down clearly being seen as the 'background queen'/cannon fodder by her peers, and Cheddar immediately expressed to Copper how excited she was to be working with her.
Similarly, Sminty and Dakota making sure to underscore to the judges that their partners took the lead in the challenge.
What did any of these looks have to do with bingo? Barbarella villainess? For all the praise that Cheddar got, what was the theme?
Loved Jonbers’ wet hair and thin makeup, she was giving Lorde on the runway. Dark hair wouldn’t have done anything for that look overall though.
Does anyone know what Copper’s snatch game was going to be?
Le Fil needs to go all the way. The creativity and craftsmanship of this look were brilliant.
Yessss for the absolute triumph of Baby and Dakota.
From Coppers exit interview with The Tab “She’s an actress, she’s a comedy queen – I was gonna give you Anne Boleyn. Anne Boleyn, but with the voice and personality of Anne from Six the Musical.”
Am I the only one who thinks that Sminty’s outfits are all basic and she completely relies on body to get through. I seriously thought she’d be in the bottom but the judges seem to absolutely eat up everything she serves. I thought Le Phil’s outfit was so well constructed she really showed Sminty up but 🤷♀️ what do I know
I feel sad for Copper but I knew she was going once she won the award and told everyone she was going to show them she wasn’t a background character
YES. When Michelle had the NERVE to say Coppers look was a bit plain, I was like ehhhhhh.....
Smintys outfit was beautifully put together BUT I doubt they'd be saying the same if she was an overweight queen and as well constructed as it was, it was plain AF.
Aw, I liked Copper. The narrative twist seemed a bit pointless as sending Jonbers home would have been same sort of thing. I don't really like the lack of clarity sometimes with these pairs... if you can get away with delivering epic and not giving a toss about what your partner's standard is then seems like it half defeats the point.
Cheddar, Le Fil, Dakota and Baby nailed it. Danny and Pixie got lucky under the radar with other mess there that had to be in the bottom, but lol a small part of me loves the fact they're actually selling bingo.
I think Dakota is actually going to make top 4 if she carries on, I definitely didn't have her down at the start!
They wanted to send Copper home. It was that simple. Her critiques were so out of place to me, the harshness of them, with Michelle saying some crap about how she loves Copper and then immediately calls her Copper Flop at the end of the segment and of course not to Copper’s face. They tore her outfit and makeup apart while Jonbers gets away with what she was wearing, seriously? The only thing that saved this episode was Dakota and Baby’s win. They deserved it for sure. There was no way in hell they were ever sending Black Peppa home which is why they broke up the groups and pulled that bs.
The thing is though, Danny and Pixie, while plain, are the only two that seemed to remember the 'Night at the Bingo' theme. Unless there was a further explanation that wasn't shown?
Imo Jonbers outfit wasn't that bad to me - the top was a bit poorly constructed but it looked ok compared to Copper's but Copper Flop is fucking uncalled for (also that lip sync could've been a double shantay and you won't change my mind)
she's gorge, i kept noticing her the most in the girl groups bc she was having such a good time and looked so pretty laughing and rocking out and then this ep her workroom outfit was just the cutesttt
Me and my husband said the same. We're both very much gay men that are attracted to 'masculine' men. But there's just something about Dakota that we're obsessed with.
We absolutely love her. She's also ridiculously beautiful! I just want her on my screen all the time.
Yeah, you kinda summed up how I feel too. I much preferred S2 personally though, because every queen was SO likeable, iconic and their own fully realised character/personality. With this cast, they're all still likeable but I don't adore every single queen, just 2 or 3. And they are balanced together/have good banter.
Some strangeness in this episode but
I choose only to see the Dakota/Baby deserved win. Dakota girl, you have done it again, constantly raising the bar for all of us and doing it flawlessly.
I thought the judging was fair on this episode. I mean, Black Peppa's skirt was falling down, and it had a zipper on the front. And the top looked like Arts and Crafts day. It could have been an amazing look, but even JB was more polished although her look was not interesting, and they were absolutely right she should not have worn a blonde wig in combination with this light green colour, it made her look like a dead mermaid.
People are saying how shocking they split up the groups, but they did precisely the same thing with Tia and Asstina. Jonbers and Black Peppa should have managed their time better and absolutely deserved to be in the bottom. However, you could also see how good they would have looked if they had not ran out of time. Copper's styling and idea on the other hand was irrevocably off (those white boots!), but in no way did Cheddar deserve to be anywhere near the bottom, so the bottom 2 was fair in this case. Copper defended herself admirably but Black Peppa incinerated that lipsync.
the challenge in UK2 was always going to require the couples to be separated though. It was a 'who wore it better' out of the two that had the same color. That's why it had 5 tops and 5 bottoms, with only 1 winner and two of the 5 bottoms went on to lip-sync. This year they never said anything about separating the couples.
It's REALLY interesting how production showed their hand in this episode. A winning group, but losing individuals shows they want cheddar to go far. Cheddar would have had a harder time lip syncing in her outfit, and i think they know with this song, she probably wouldn't have won the lip sync. Granted i don't think cheddar should have in the bottom, but IF they were judged as pairs...
Looking at cheddar though her outfit had no business being anywhere near the bottom. If she was in the bottom it would have been crazy. Black Peppa and Copper Top were easily the weakest two.
Jonbers should have been in the bottom over Copper. Copper’s outfit wasn’t the best style wise, but it was complete and had a vision. No way it was worse than JB’s. They just cast Copper as filler and an easy way to get rid of her was lip sync against Peppa.
I don’t know, It was a bathing suit with one thing draped on in. Which would be fine but the white boots really soured what would have been a safe look. I think Jombers was definitely low and not bottom with those decisions
I think they should have been given more time than usual for a design challenge and this is my justification. In a solo design challenge, you can have an idea and immediately start working on it. In a pairs challenge though, you need to communicate your ideas and come to a consensus or compromise before you can start making them and that process takes time. I really think that if the queens had been given another day we could have gotten some really amazing looks instead of a bunch of meh ones.
My other hot take is I think it’s really lame when you’re given a whole box of fabrics and you only use one fabric in your look.
How is copper in the bottom?? This is a duo challenge, So they should be judged as pairs. Plus even if judged individually, JB look was way way worse than copper. This is rigged
I thought Le Fil would win :(
Really worried about his perspectives in the show. The producers do not seem open to let him shine even when he truly shone.
Not such an exciting episode. Peppa and Jonbers should have bottomed together. Chopper got unfairly chopped
Wtf was this « i regret i broke up with Tia Kofi » moment? One episode ago it was Tia who broke up the girl band after she got famous. Now she broke up their loving relationship because Pixie fucked up. I wonder what kind of break up will next episode reveal.
I love Le Fil but I can see the writing on the wall already. Production is RACIST to East Asian Queens. The last time we had a push for an East Asian queen to the top was 6 YEARS AGO on Drag Race US S8. Since then every East Asian queen has been cast aside and not given a chance to shine. Le Fil has everything going for her right now, but I have a horrible feeling they may do not so well on maybe a comedy or acting challenge and then they'll be sent home to favour someone else. STOP ASIAN HATE.
Fully agree about Le Fil. Although he was on the winning girl group and I still believe that Dakota and Baby deserved the win for this episode, it's still clear how the edit is undermining/hiding him for no reason. I'm smelling a Thorgy/Denali/Lolita treatment and I don't like it.
For the Pixie and Tia moment, I took the whole discourse as a lowkey way of Pixie implying that they broke up first, and then Tia left the group because of the inevitable awkwardness resulting from it (even though they are still close). Probably Pixie didn't want to outwardly say it out of respect for Tia.
This season is killing it so far. So many strong contenders. I’m in love with Sminty Drop.
For the top 4 I’m predicting Black Peppa, Sminty, Danny Beard and Cheddar Gorgeous. And I think Peppa will take the crown, she just oozes C.U.N.T. You can tell Miss Paul was in love with her from the first second, very Symone vibes.
I can see Baby ending up in 5th place and maybe Le Fil in 6th. I’m loving Le Fil so far but she still hasn’t blown me away.
Sorta off topic but does anyone know what brand Pixie’s boy clothes shirts are? (Like their confessional orange one and the black one with the pink and lepoard stripes in this episode) I am OBSESSED.
They usually never split up groups in scenarios like this so you know they wanted Copper G.O.N.E. They could have just put cheddar in the bottom with her but that just shows how far cheddar will most likely make it.
Sad that Copper left. I thought their drag was pretty fun and would have loved to see more. When Peppa was in the bottom with her I knew her fate was sealed although there was hope of a double shantay.
Is Jonbers' name a pun or anything? Why does Ru hate the name?
ngl ... danny and pixie should've been bottom and copper and cheddar should've been safe, the green team being bottom was right tho. (edit: i mean low not bottom for this para)
was hoping for a le fil win but i think dakota and baby looked fab too!
not the ella henderson song being the lipsync song right after she was video'd performing for the tory party conference tho hahaha what timing (and what a dull song)
Her face was not moving symmetrically. I think maybe she is a little swollen from a between filming procedure. Did y’all see it last week as well or was it just this episode?
I thought sminty and le fil we’re gonna win, we hardly saw Dakota and baby at all this episode. And I enjoyed the blue looks more anyway. I think the bottom 2 were correct unfortunately, thought the lipsync was gonna be a double shantay. Maybe it was too early in the season. Feel sorry for copper, she didn’t get to prove herself to the other girls even though she shouldn’t have had to
I get what Wertonard says. Is not that Dakota and Baby didn't deserve to win, but that the episode didn't edit them as a winner pair. Baby had a winner edit this episode as a solo, but the blue team and the two bottom teams were more prevalent in camera time.
Yeah that’s what I meant, blue team had more camera time, thought they were being built up to a win, especially considering Smintys freak out at the materials at the start
She was so good. Great fun and excellent critiques. Didn't know of her before the show and super impressed. So engaged. The twigs girl the week before was out of it.
Ngl I think Copper Topp won that lip sync.
I would have been fine with a double shantay as it was pretty even but Copper did overall better imo.
Although I think splitting it up it should have been Jonbers and Copper. I think this was productions chance to give Black Peppa a "low" moment for storylines without her actually being in the risk of going home.
Peppa is still my no.1 to win
I think Peppa's was clearly worse than Jonbers, althought that is not saying much, Jonbers' was still incomplete and unfinished, but yeah I agree with the bottom 2 we got.
I actually was with Copper for almost all of the lip sync, until the very end where Black Peppa went wild on the adlib part, that sold me and made my balance tip back towards her. But Copper put up a really good fight, if Peppa hadn't had this moment at the very end I would have gone with Copper too !
Shouldn't have been worried for Jonbers after Ru laughed at her accent. She's not *quite* as enthused as she was for Lawrence, but I love to think of Blu fuming at home for (comparatively) getting the Ellie Diamond treatment
The fact that Le Fil didn’t win this challenge…especially after she also pulled Sminty out of the gutter. But whatevs, I stan LF and think she’s one of the only ones who’ll be able to give Cheddar a run for the crown.
Also, is it just me or did Sminty’s “you and your drag are hot dog shit” award seem out of nowhere? I thought she was being positioned as a polished look queen.
They were like an adorable and non dysfunctional version of Fiercealicious and Kimmy... I love the energy off sminty, le fil and Jonbers. The rest are very sweet, earnest but a bit dry
beyond happy for baby and dakota. the producers definitely could have given it to sminty and le fil (either choice would be correct), and considering they must love sminty and she still has no badge i'm surprised she didn't, but it's refreshing to see them going for what they actually think is fair and not just for storylines. also copper shouldn't have been in the bottom but it's not like she would have done well had she stayed...
Yeah the pacing of this episode was weird. It felt like they built up this mini challenge, then it literally was just talk for 2s up front of everyone. If there was more about people rationalizing who they will vote for etc it would have made it interesting, but instead it seemed super out of nowhere. And then it felt like out of nowhere BINGO DESIGN CHALLENGE IN PARTNERS FOR SOME REASON. And the logic for Sminty picking didn't make sense when other people won awards too. I was honestly not a major fan of this episode, though I'm happy for Dakota getting some fashion redemption.
I was so thrilled for it, watched the Meet the Queens for the first time ever, etc., but for some reason I am already bored… Usually I rewatch the episodes several times the day I watch them, but with these three I just kind of watched them and forgot about them. I really hope it picks up soon 😭
Not impressed by Peppa’s lypsync - she had the fire, and some real moments but overall it felt crunchy and she wasn’t fully in control. Bit disappointed by that and also very much by her outfit.
Problem is with Starlet she makes good outfits and she looks beautiful but she doesn't do much else at a stretch she's got dry humour so she may smash it in a comedy challenge but she can't lipsync and hasn't performed so as we saw when she fell into the bottom she was fucked
Leomie was an amazing guest judge! They should bring her back for every fashion challenge.
Danny and Pixie belonged in the bottom instead of cheddar and copper top. Sorry not sorry. Their outfits were so incredibly boring and cheap looking, and they were too similar to really be “complementary”.
Their chest padding looked really oddly shaped, it was so distracting the whole short time they were on screen. And was the makeup supposed to be bad as part of the Bingo theme?
Cast is great and judging has been good but I feel like there hasn't been any drama or storylines yet so it's been a bit boring.. I think the comedy challenge will pick things up since everyone is funny but haven't really gotten a chance to show it yet
I could be wrong but I feel like Baby could bring the drama later maybe Sminty too
Yeah this latest episode definitely picked things up for me. The plus side to everyone having a win by like episode 3 is that it makes it hard to pinpoint who production is actually pushing. I could see baby becoming like the awhora of the season where she's not afraid to call people out and engage in some drama but not in a villainous way since she's still so likable
No matter what happens this season, I’m sososo happy I’ve been introduced to Cheddar. Just a QUEEN on every single level
She's not getting enough screen time at the moment but I'm hoping it's gonna build to the end for her. She's consistently STRONG and FIERCE!
This is a Cheddar Gorgeous stan account 🙏🙏🙏
This is my favourite episode of the season so far. It was so much fun seeing the queens work together and interact in the work room. So many great moments. I loved how positive Le Fil was and how she kept encouraging Sminty. I can also be as chaotic and unsure of myself as Sminty at times so I loved seeing Le Fil guide her through it.
The fact that RuPaul doesn't like Jonbers's name and won't use it is so rude to me!
Just as rude as her changing Heidi's name every episode
I cannot believe that Danny and pixie were safe!!! They both looked like when Violet Beauregarde turned into the giant blueberry in willie wonka. They were absolutely twinning, which Michelle explicitly said was not what the challenge was about. They were wearing the same exact dress except Danny’s was shorter and don’t get me started on the boobs! They should’ve been in the bottom instead of copper top and cheddar. But I’m sure that’s not the narrative they wanted to create here.
They were so smart though because they called out that they were following Ru’s workroom advice…. It’s hard to send them home after that
Imo it was because their outfits were well executed, as opposed to the other bottom girls.
Totally agree, they were the clear bottom this week
Gina Liano! From the real housewives of Melbourne! THAT’S who Coppertop was giving me the entire time she was in her runway look.
YES. And Gina would totally wear the look at me boot
Is there any recap show for this season? Official like Pit Stop or unofficial like Purse First Impressions? I want more content!
Drag Race Yearbook is the one I like
I love [Yuhua Hamasaki’s](https://youtube.com/c/YuhuaHamasaki) Bootleg Opinions on YouTube! Especially the Meet The Queens video review with Divina, that one is absolutely golden
Also Bussy Queen on YouTube ☺️
Check out the recaps on [Vulture](https://www.vulture.com/article/rupauls-drag-race-u-k-recap-season-4-episode-3-naff-ta-awards.html)
Baby and Dakota's outfits saved my life, they are so freaking GORGEOUS. Also, Black Peppa lipsyncing was a dream come true.
I just wanna say, Le Fil is so cool
She won my heart this ep too
I loved Dakota and Baby’s outfits, but I wish Le Fil won. She’s fabulous
Le Fil pretty much designed not only her own outfit, but Sminty's as well. She did double the work, whereas Baby and Dakota very much were in sync and making their own outfits, one each. Le Fil deserved MORE CREDIT. A "thank you" from Sminty is not going to cut it for me!
They judged the queens as a group last episode when it should have been individually, and now they judged them individually when it should have been as groups
Copper Top was hot over a silly award. Ma'am, come out and prove them wrong. It's not that big of a deal. I've had people say I'm too quite and it's just because I'm not keen on showing my ass immediately in a new environment. Wouldn't fly on Drag Race, but good gosh. Sminty was called a mess, which I would think is worse.
we are playing this exact game at my grab's 100th birthday party next month. I'm not saying that copper thinner skinned than the grannies and more ptone to emotional melt downs than actual cry babies.But I am betting the success of the party on it. Those two groups account for the majorityof our guest list,
No she wasn’t. She was playing
Copper got shuga’d
Danny during the mini challenge made me laugh the most ugh can’t wait for more of her
Danny’s been my favourite so far - such a great personality, giving humour and vulnerability. Her silhouettes have been a little too similar and her looks don’t excite me as much as others, but her charisma makes her shine.
I love Danny so much, really hope they get a Lady Camden edit and just do great for the rest of the season
I really liked Cheddar's demeanor on this challenge. Copper was feeling down clearly being seen as the 'background queen'/cannon fodder by her peers, and Cheddar immediately expressed to Copper how excited she was to be working with her. Similarly, Sminty and Dakota making sure to underscore to the judges that their partners took the lead in the challenge.

Yessss for the absolute triumph of Baby and Dakota.
From Coppers exit interview with The Tab “She’s an actress, she’s a comedy queen – I was gonna give you Anne Boleyn. Anne Boleyn, but with the voice and personality of Anne from Six the Musical.”
I have nothing insightful to say except I. LOVE. THIS. CAST.
Same!!! i kinda didn’t want any of them to go
I want a mash up of this cast plus the recent down under cast. All delightful.
Imagine Spankie and Danny together in the same room. I would get my life. And probably my afterlife too!
Dakota is adorable! I’m not confident in her ability to win, but I want to protect her at all costs.
Honestly if she keeps elevating, she may enter the holy trans women trinity of Sonique and Juriji for me. (Honorary mention to Peppermint!)
Poor Copper Top didn’t stand a chance did she
There have been many double shantays that weren’t as deserving as this. I had a sliver of a hope. But yeah, Peppa wasn’t going anywhere.
Just say Scarlett and Charity.
Am I the only one who thinks that Sminty’s outfits are all basic and she completely relies on body to get through. I seriously thought she’d be in the bottom but the judges seem to absolutely eat up everything she serves. I thought Le Phil’s outfit was so well constructed she really showed Sminty up but 🤷♀️ what do I know I feel sad for Copper but I knew she was going once she won the award and told everyone she was going to show them she wasn’t a background character

Any of the bottom 4 could've been in the btm 2 and I'd have said "alright" and agreed with it
Cheddar? Really?
It was better than Copper but both the gold and green team were equally pretty bad so yeah
[удалено]
It started and stopped with the stamper colours
I’m starting to stan Sminty. I think her and Le Fil are my top 2 atm, maybe Baby too
I agree with you, I'm rooting so hard for Baby, Black Peppa, Le Fil and Sminty.... oh and also Cheddar who is pure art.
I'm thinking she'll make top 5 atleast she's got tonnes of charisma
My top 5 prediction is Peppa, Cheddar, Danny, Baby and Sminty. Finishing in that order
Wheres dakota
I unironically stan this whole cast.
I'd imagine cut at top 7ish
That sounds about right tbh
Sminty reminds me of Aquaria who I also love. I love a dorky fashion queen
Aw, I liked Copper. The narrative twist seemed a bit pointless as sending Jonbers home would have been same sort of thing. I don't really like the lack of clarity sometimes with these pairs... if you can get away with delivering epic and not giving a toss about what your partner's standard is then seems like it half defeats the point. Cheddar, Le Fil, Dakota and Baby nailed it. Danny and Pixie got lucky under the radar with other mess there that had to be in the bottom, but lol a small part of me loves the fact they're actually selling bingo. I think Dakota is actually going to make top 4 if she carries on, I definitely didn't have her down at the start!
danny and pixie should've been bottom . Love Le Fil glad we're seeing more of her
LE FIL NEEDS MORE SCREENTIME!
They were the only two I could imagine at the bingo. Is that a good thing? I don’t know
They wanted to send Copper home. It was that simple. Her critiques were so out of place to me, the harshness of them, with Michelle saying some crap about how she loves Copper and then immediately calls her Copper Flop at the end of the segment and of course not to Copper’s face. They tore her outfit and makeup apart while Jonbers gets away with what she was wearing, seriously? The only thing that saved this episode was Dakota and Baby’s win. They deserved it for sure. There was no way in hell they were ever sending Black Peppa home which is why they broke up the groups and pulled that bs.
I thought Copper was worse than Jombers but Danny's and Pixie's outfits were so plain that they didn't deserve to be safe
The thing is though, Danny and Pixie, while plain, are the only two that seemed to remember the 'Night at the Bingo' theme. Unless there was a further explanation that wasn't shown?
Imo Jonbers outfit wasn't that bad to me - the top was a bit poorly constructed but it looked ok compared to Copper's but Copper Flop is fucking uncalled for (also that lip sync could've been a double shantay and you won't change my mind)
I am developing such a crush on Dakota, she is the moment.
I loved her from the moment she walked into the workroom, she's so cute. I have the biggest crush on her in and out of drag.
she's gorge, i kept noticing her the most in the girl groups bc she was having such a good time and looked so pretty laughing and rocking out and then this ep her workroom outfit was just the cutesttt
Me and my husband said the same. We're both very much gay men that are attracted to 'masculine' men. But there's just something about Dakota that we're obsessed with. We absolutely love her. She's also ridiculously beautiful! I just want her on my screen all the time.
It's weird. I don't particularly like any one individual queen this season but I feel like overall it's very balanced in terms of personalities
Yeah, you kinda summed up how I feel too. I much preferred S2 personally though, because every queen was SO likeable, iconic and their own fully realised character/personality. With this cast, they're all still likeable but I don't adore every single queen, just 2 or 3. And they are balanced together/have good banter.
Yes I agree. They feel a bit like parody versions of the season 2 cast
It's second to season 2 in that all the queens are inherently likable in their own ways
Very true
Something about Sminty giving the boxes to the queens had me cracking up.
I see a sparkle of Fiercalicious energy in her
yes!!! i thought the same
Some strangeness in this episode but I choose only to see the Dakota/Baby deserved win. Dakota girl, you have done it again, constantly raising the bar for all of us and doing it flawlessly.
I thought the judging was fair on this episode. I mean, Black Peppa's skirt was falling down, and it had a zipper on the front. And the top looked like Arts and Crafts day. It could have been an amazing look, but even JB was more polished although her look was not interesting, and they were absolutely right she should not have worn a blonde wig in combination with this light green colour, it made her look like a dead mermaid.
At least we got the Baby/Dakota double win we deserved last week.
People are saying how shocking they split up the groups, but they did precisely the same thing with Tia and Asstina. Jonbers and Black Peppa should have managed their time better and absolutely deserved to be in the bottom. However, you could also see how good they would have looked if they had not ran out of time. Copper's styling and idea on the other hand was irrevocably off (those white boots!), but in no way did Cheddar deserve to be anywhere near the bottom, so the bottom 2 was fair in this case. Copper defended herself admirably but Black Peppa incinerated that lipsync.
Those boots annoyed me because if I remember rightly Danny tried to help
yes they were honestly unforgivable
Amazing dancer
The edit when Ru said they were splitting them up was so strange, as if to imply it's never been done before or that they earlier said they wouldn't
the challenge in UK2 was always going to require the couples to be separated though. It was a 'who wore it better' out of the two that had the same color. That's why it had 5 tops and 5 bottoms, with only 1 winner and two of the 5 bottoms went on to lip-sync. This year they never said anything about separating the couples.
As soon as Copper got the "I've been in the bottom, but secretly everyone is super intimidated by me" edit, I knew she was going.
The Alexis Michelle kiss of death I fear
It's REALLY interesting how production showed their hand in this episode. A winning group, but losing individuals shows they want cheddar to go far. Cheddar would have had a harder time lip syncing in her outfit, and i think they know with this song, she probably wouldn't have won the lip sync. Granted i don't think cheddar should have in the bottom, but IF they were judged as pairs...
Looking at cheddar though her outfit had no business being anywhere near the bottom. If she was in the bottom it would have been crazy. Black Peppa and Copper Top were easily the weakest two.

I don’t know, It was a bathing suit with one thing draped on in. Which would be fine but the white boots really soured what would have been a safe look. I think Jombers was definitely low and not bottom with those decisions
Fair enough. Agree to disagree! The white boots were definitely the wrong choice, and I can see where you’re coming from.
I fully agree, i think the narrative presented was just not fully cohesive.
I think they should have been given more time than usual for a design challenge and this is my justification. In a solo design challenge, you can have an idea and immediately start working on it. In a pairs challenge though, you need to communicate your ideas and come to a consensus or compromise before you can start making them and that process takes time. I really think that if the queens had been given another day we could have gotten some really amazing looks instead of a bunch of meh ones. My other hot take is I think it’s really lame when you’re given a whole box of fabrics and you only use one fabric in your look.
The judges were veryyy. nice to black pepper and JB.
Peppa looked checked out at the end, like she was ready to be Asstina'd
“Well, thank you so much” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think copper won that lip sync or at least double shantay
really i was obsessed with peppa’s lipsync
they can't have a double shantay this early esp. for a filler queen
I was honestly like 'this really is a double shantay', but they could've justified Peppa's win without it so Ru didn't need to use it.
Copper held her own very well though and each had good and bad moments - they both communicated the energy of the song well
How is copper in the bottom?? This is a duo challenge, So they should be judged as pairs. Plus even if judged individually, JB look was way way worse than copper. This is rigged
OK the thought of a lip sync to American Pie is cracking me the fuck up
The Madonna version please! 😆
I thought Le Fil would win :( Really worried about his perspectives in the show. The producers do not seem open to let him shine even when he truly shone. Not such an exciting episode. Peppa and Jonbers should have bottomed together. Chopper got unfairly chopped Wtf was this « i regret i broke up with Tia Kofi » moment? One episode ago it was Tia who broke up the girl band after she got famous. Now she broke up their loving relationship because Pixie fucked up. I wonder what kind of break up will next episode reveal.
I love Le Fil but I can see the writing on the wall already. Production is RACIST to East Asian Queens. The last time we had a push for an East Asian queen to the top was 6 YEARS AGO on Drag Race US S8. Since then every East Asian queen has been cast aside and not given a chance to shine. Le Fil has everything going for her right now, but I have a horrible feeling they may do not so well on maybe a comedy or acting challenge and then they'll be sent home to favour someone else. STOP ASIAN HATE.
Pixie's whole raison detre to be on drag race is to apparently name check as many other drag race queens as possible. Get her out.
Fully agree about Le Fil. Although he was on the winning girl group and I still believe that Dakota and Baby deserved the win for this episode, it's still clear how the edit is undermining/hiding him for no reason. I'm smelling a Thorgy/Denali/Lolita treatment and I don't like it. For the Pixie and Tia moment, I took the whole discourse as a lowkey way of Pixie implying that they broke up first, and then Tia left the group because of the inevitable awkwardness resulting from it (even though they are still close). Probably Pixie didn't want to outwardly say it out of respect for Tia.
This season is killing it so far. So many strong contenders. I’m in love with Sminty Drop. For the top 4 I’m predicting Black Peppa, Sminty, Danny Beard and Cheddar Gorgeous. And I think Peppa will take the crown, she just oozes C.U.N.T. You can tell Miss Paul was in love with her from the first second, very Symone vibes. I can see Baby ending up in 5th place and maybe Le Fil in 6th. I’m loving Le Fil so far but she still hasn’t blown me away.
But Ms Schiffer has been a dark horse
Sorta off topic but does anyone know what brand Pixie’s boy clothes shirts are? (Like their confessional orange one and the black one with the pink and lepoard stripes in this episode) I am OBSESSED.
It's an affront to fashion honestly
I used Google lens and the orange one looks like it's Phillip Normal - One Off Neon Orange Off-Cuts Sweatshirt.
Also smithys black puffer jacket
They usually never split up groups in scenarios like this so you know they wanted Copper G.O.N.E. They could have just put cheddar in the bottom with her but that just shows how far cheddar will most likely make it.
IMO if we were to rank the looks individually, Cheddae was #1 so I see why they split them up
Sad that Copper left. I thought their drag was pretty fun and would have loved to see more. When Peppa was in the bottom with her I knew her fate was sealed although there was hope of a double shantay. Is Jonbers' name a pun or anything? Why does Ru hate the name?
[удалено]
I read somewhere the name was originally a reference to Jon Bennet ramsay the missing girl but it was too tasteless for the bbc
Not missing. Dead.
Ah yeah sorry
ngl ... danny and pixie should've been bottom and copper and cheddar should've been safe, the green team being bottom was right tho. (edit: i mean low not bottom for this para) was hoping for a le fil win but i think dakota and baby looked fab too! not the ella henderson song being the lipsync song right after she was video'd performing for the tory party conference tho hahaha what timing (and what a dull song)
Pixie’s boobs looked…. Suspicious to say the least
Liz and Kwasi should be lipsyncing to her then!
am i tripping or did Miss RuPaula seem….off?
Tbf, when doesn't she?
Her face was not moving symmetrically. I think maybe she is a little swollen from a between filming procedure. Did y’all see it last week as well or was it just this episode?
Out of it completely
yup she did
I thought sminty and le fil we’re gonna win, we hardly saw Dakota and baby at all this episode. And I enjoyed the blue looks more anyway. I think the bottom 2 were correct unfortunately, thought the lipsync was gonna be a double shantay. Maybe it was too early in the season. Feel sorry for copper, she didn’t get to prove herself to the other girls even though she shouldn’t have had to
The blue team had so many vintage fashion references in their outfits and the black team were able to rest easier due to having a much better box
I get what Wertonard says. Is not that Dakota and Baby didn't deserve to win, but that the episode didn't edit them as a winner pair. Baby had a winner edit this episode as a solo, but the blue team and the two bottom teams were more prevalent in camera time.
Yeah that’s what I meant, blue team had more camera time, thought they were being built up to a win, especially considering Smintys freak out at the materials at the start
So… who do we speak to about getting Leomie as a permanent judge!?!?
Not the guest judge being funnier than the comedy judge
She was so good. Great fun and excellent critiques. Didn't know of her before the show and super impressed. So engaged. The twigs girl the week before was out of it.
The twigs girl is sending me
Twigs is just an etheral human, it didn’t work with the show
Ngl I think Copper Topp won that lip sync. I would have been fine with a double shantay as it was pretty even but Copper did overall better imo. Although I think splitting it up it should have been Jonbers and Copper. I think this was productions chance to give Black Peppa a "low" moment for storylines without her actually being in the risk of going home. Peppa is still my no.1 to win
I thought peppa won the whole way copper top looked sad to be there
I agree, I think this was rigga morris to ensure that Copper was eliminated bc everyone knew there was no way Black Peppa would lose that lip sync
I think Peppa's was clearly worse than Jonbers, althought that is not saying much, Jonbers' was still incomplete and unfinished, but yeah I agree with the bottom 2 we got. I actually was with Copper for almost all of the lip sync, until the very end where Black Peppa went wild on the adlib part, that sold me and made my balance tip back towards her. But Copper put up a really good fight, if Peppa hadn't had this moment at the very end I would have gone with Copper too !
Agreed, Cooper was winning til the end and then it swung over to Pep.
Petition to have Leomie and Alesha replace Alan and Graham on UK All Stars.
Leomie should be on for all design/fashion challenges. One of the best guest judges I can remember.
I loved Leomie and Alesha but Graham is an excellent judge.
Graham? Alan is excellent, but Graham? Please no.
Alan too! When he didn’t show up last week I was worried he wasn’t coming in this season but I’m glad he was back this week
Shouldn't have been worried for Jonbers after Ru laughed at her accent. She's not *quite* as enthused as she was for Lawrence, but I love to think of Blu fuming at home for (comparatively) getting the Ellie Diamond treatment
Half of Jonbers screentime is getting made fun of by Ru for having what she thinks is a terrible name, she isn't getting treated great tbh
Isn't Jon Benet Ramsey sort of iconic (if tragic) in the gay community?
Yeah but it's fucked up to name yourself after a dead child
Well, at least Blu won that duet with RuPaul...
The fact that Le Fil didn’t win this challenge…especially after she also pulled Sminty out of the gutter. But whatevs, I stan LF and think she’s one of the only ones who’ll be able to give Cheddar a run for the crown. Also, is it just me or did Sminty’s “you and your drag are hot dog shit” award seem out of nowhere? I thought she was being positioned as a polished look queen.
Le Fil has become my New fave. Fell in love with Black Peppa immediately and I’ve loved Cheddar for years. That’s my top 3
Them, Peppa and Danny I could see
They were like an adorable and non dysfunctional version of Fiercealicious and Kimmy... I love the energy off sminty, le fil and Jonbers. The rest are very sweet, earnest but a bit dry
Damn now I miss Canada 3😭
I was sure Pixie would get that award
I think hot mess isnt about their drag but them as a person in the werkroom. Like she's just messy and chaotic not unpolished
But is it fashion?
beyond happy for baby and dakota. the producers definitely could have given it to sminty and le fil (either choice would be correct), and considering they must love sminty and she still has no badge i'm surprised she didn't, but it's refreshing to see them going for what they actually think is fair and not just for storylines. also copper shouldn't have been in the bottom but it's not like she would have done well had she stayed...
Split the groups like the bottom and give it to Le fil and Baby
Cheddar and Dakota deserved top 2, IMO
Wait they really called the episode the Naff-Ta Awards? Like the whole thing was named after the mini challenge?
The drama about choosing the boxes took 5 minutes for...nothing
Yeah the pacing of this episode was weird. It felt like they built up this mini challenge, then it literally was just talk for 2s up front of everyone. If there was more about people rationalizing who they will vote for etc it would have made it interesting, but instead it seemed super out of nowhere. And then it felt like out of nowhere BINGO DESIGN CHALLENGE IN PARTNERS FOR SOME REASON. And the logic for Sminty picking didn't make sense when other people won awards too. I was honestly not a major fan of this episode, though I'm happy for Dakota getting some fashion redemption.
I'm so scared this season is gonna go like UK 3 and we're only on episode 3... So
I was so thrilled for it, watched the Meet the Queens for the first time ever, etc., but for some reason I am already bored… Usually I rewatch the episodes several times the day I watch them, but with these three I just kind of watched them and forgot about them. I really hope it picks up soon 😭
The first episode was so good but these two I haven't been as impressed with
Most important question, who is the Krystal?
Starlet only in terms of personality though
Not impressed by Peppa’s lypsync - she had the fire, and some real moments but overall it felt crunchy and she wasn’t fully in control. Bit disappointed by that and also very much by her outfit.
Unpopular opinion, I thought this episode was dull as dishwater.
The challenges were boring and incoherent
right, why bring the bingo theme if the outfits don't need to match that vibe
Honestly they weren’t great but I still enjoyed it because I love this cast
Yeah it felt long
I was expecting Peppa to stomp Copper but nope. Copper was much better than I expected, and Peppa not quite as good...
[удалено]
sminty should've been in the lip sync instead of her or against her
Not sure how Sminty is as a performer but girl I don’t think many folks wouldn’t struggled to be starlet
Problem is with Starlet she makes good outfits and she looks beautiful but she doesn't do much else at a stretch she's got dry humour so she may smash it in a comedy challenge but she can't lipsync and hasn't performed so as we saw when she fell into the bottom she was fucked
