I feel bad for Sister Sister because she’s been shadow-banned on Instagram and follower wise she’s way behind the others. Even people who left the show in the first few weeks. Sister has 35k, Cherry has 111k and Astina has 97k, for example. Not sure how ant they all has before the show.

It must really suck, obviously Instagram followers aren’t everything but I’m sure social media presence plays a significant part in the drag act, especially with getting more bookings.

I do hope she leaves next week though

I wonder why she is shadow banned? Anyone know?
 
Tia was one of my favourites but her runway looks annoyed me because they were always so basic. After the ice cream cone she said she’d step it up and then this week was just a basic long dress with wings - if that’s the look she wanted to do there would have been soo many better ways of doing it.

Laurence Chaney is starting to annoy me a bit too but I felt they all turned the waterworks oh this week! Ellie Diamonds story was interesting and her Vicky Pollard was good but I feel like her and Sister Sister never stand out. I’m surprised they went straight through.

Overall Bimini is my fave ❤️

It's usually to do with overusing hashtags to try and grow your following. I think they were using 20+ hashtags per post which Instagram sometimes assumes as spamming. They were posting things using hashtags and they didn't appear which is a sign you've been shadowbanned.
 
Gutted that Tia is gone but her cards were marked, so nothing short of a stellar performance was going to save her this week.

How the hell Sister’s blah performance was enough for safe I’ll never know.

Surprise by Ellie. Her Vicky Pollard was actually great. I thought the accent and facial expressions were spot on.

A’Whora’s Louis Spence was great too! The voice was spot on.
 
I loved Tia but it was her time to go. She was incredibly funny and I thought snatch game would have been her forte but her Mel b just wasn't as good as it could have been. It was her lack of confidence in herself that did it, and I think when she gets that she will be a fab queen.

I was disappointed overall over the snatch game. I thought that bimini did dominate, clever choice and she had Pwicey down to a tee. I liked Tayce as Kim, he had her mannerisms captured well, and I thought Sister Sister had Sally's mannerisms but just didn't go far enough with her character. Ellie as Pollard was really good but again whether it was the editing or her, just didn't go far enough. With Snatch game you need to get that limelight and be over the top. I was excited Ahora was doing Louis Spence as he is such a character but she seemed really uncomfortable and that came off and made me feel uncomfortable. Lawrence as Miriam was so uncomfortable at times I had to pull my jumper over my head.

Glad Bimini won, both her snatch game and her catwalk were brilliant and very clever. I think it will be between her and Lawrence, I'm not fussed who wins out of them two.
 
I had really high hopes for Snatch Game given how funny some of the queens are but felt it was...not quite there? Snatch Game is so iconic now so there's a huge pressure to do well. I don't think anyone totally flopped (Lawrence was awkward though) and the standard is really high but it felt a bit flat in places. Also the GC was bloody awful!

What was the deal with the judges' comments on Awhora? Were they uncomfortable with him putting on a lisp to impersonate Louis Spence? I don't think they really got it.

I was quite disappointed too! IDK whether it's that it can't live up to the hype, but the big comedy hitters didn't do that well (other than Bimini). Lawrence's was so awkward - she is capable of way better (thanks to Beatrix for pointing out what Lawrence was referencing...so obscure). IDFK what Tia was thinking - wasting all her wit on the same Eddie Murphy joke again and again. I think Tia would've nailed e.g. Jennifer Lawrence really well, if she could get her voice, or even Ariana Grande or smth.

When poor Ellie Diamond wrote 'bell-end' as an answer and then told Ru what that meant - it was funny but you could tell Ru was thrown because a clearly planned joke about him talking about the meaning of bell-end was coming up moments later

I was amazed by how unfunny the GC was. Proves she truly is funny to laugh at rather than with as mean as it sounds :/

To be honest, I think Snatch Game is overrated. It’s 90% cringe and 10% funny.

I think Ginny is taking the lemon persona too far. She left the show on good terms as far as I could see, but ever since the episode aired she’s been sour and slagging Ru off at every opportunity. You went out in ninth place love, people ARE going to forget you.
 
Love Tia, great personality and she knew she wasn’t as polished as the others. I imagine it’s very difficult to feel as though you are taking the spot of others when it’s not in your hands to decide if you stay or go. Hope to see Tia do great things with that personality (and those legs!!!)

I'm completely obsessed with Bimini now. I really wrote them off in episode 1 but I've done a complete 180. There's a couple of other challenges that I think Bimini should have won imo too.

Lawrence really can't handle not being teachers pet. And then the waterworks...

Also my unpopular opinion is that Tayce is nastier than Awhora but never see anyone call this out.There's a couple of things Tayce has said, the tone of it, that has made me a bit uncomfortable. Although Awhora is getting a bit of a redemption arc so could be the edit

I'd agree with this and wouldn't be upset at that top 3. Though I do think Tayce does just coast through at times, she needs to push herself more. I find her voice over bits funnier then any of her challenges.

She definitely got through some of the earlier episodes just by serving pure face & being ridiculously beautiful. But I do think she's stepped up her acting and outfits in the last few eps so have high hopes that she'll maintain that til the final...plus her welsh humour is just my favourite thing- it makes even her shady comments charming!

Tayce is one of my faves but I do get the feeling she has prepared lines and things to say for those in between voiceovers so that she appears funnier as she’s had time to come up with these lines
