Did anyone watch last night’s premiere? To my eye, this has to be the sorriest lot since Season 1. For those of you who keep a closer eye on drag than I do, is there an explanation?
 
It seems that way to me as well. I was disappointed in the "talent" show. Maybe next week's group will impress me more. Please oh please let there be less lip syncing and generic dance moves! But having said that, it still provided (for me) a needed mental break from political news.
 
I like Lucky Starz, they remind me of a more mainstream David Puck. I like Lexi and Lana but maybe that's because we havent seen their talent yet. Joella crying because they were meeting Katy Perry for what looked to be the 900th time seemed like a lot.
 
The second episode wasn't any better than the first. Not for me, anyway. Lexie Love and Suzy Toots are the only queens that interest me...so far. I think two weeks of the talent show is just too much lipsyncing.
 
I hope the younger queens settle in and focus on what they are uniquely good at. Right now, those who have been doing it longest are the front runners.

I agree about the lipsynching. Most of them seem to be performing to their own songs, but it would be good to get more actual on stage talent.
 
Logo is showing the Covid season. Now THOSE were some talented queens. Gigi, Widow, Jan, Heidi, Jada, Brita, Chrystal, Jackie, and Sherry. Heck, even the low hanging fruit was pretty good and Dahlia was probably the only one who couldn’t do the work. I hope this season’s queens step it up.
 
This episode surprised me. I pretty much liked all the performances. Loved Onya's! And I was impressed with how Crystal took the lead on organizing the challenge in general. Oh, and her tumbleweed. So fun. Those two definitely deserved the top spots. I'm wondering if Alysa's joyful LP put me in the mood to enjoy tonight's episode! Because I really did.

I agree. I really enjoyed it. The tumbleweed was hilarious.
 
So bummed that I missed it due to US Nats. Since there was college gym on at the same time, my DVR missed it, too. Since it seems good, I’m off to find the stream.
 
I’m not going to spoil the results, but finally! The judges are honing in on the low hanging fruit. I expect a bloodbath in Snatch Game next week as many of these queens are too young to come up with a character that will make Ru laugh.

I think the sea creatures on most of the queens were pretty good. Particularly Arrietty. That Iris Van Herpen inspired outfit was quite stunning.

Although why they try to create a SNL type challenge is beyond me. It is never funny.

Will be interested to see Snatch Game. If this one flops, then they should get rid of it. It just isn't working any more.
 
I love snatch game. I'd hate to miss a really good one because a lot of people are bad at it. a lot of people are bad at every type of challenge.

I thought it was interesting how they went out of their way to show that Kori's 3rd look was not done in the back. she's really underwhelmed in every way. just the way her wig is so close to her eyebrows hurts me.

I think we know who is in the running for a sashay. Kori better bring the laughs next week, but I think Lana and Acacia should go before Kori does.
