Don't you guys feel giving Symone 4 wins is... Too much? I love her, she's one of the most important contestants ever in my opinion, but, 4 wins is A LOT, specially when there are two/three more competitive episodes left and she will absolutely be amazing in some of those, so she could get a fifth. Like, there was not really a need to give her the win this episode.

Gottmik got saved by production, just like it happened plenty of times the past season with Gigi, they just don't want Mik to lipsync and will make her the "top 4 without being on the bottom" queen.

 

It’s not a lot if all of them have been deserved. And they have been. I actually think she should have won solo.

Ugh this season has shaped up to be the worst alongside S11. The overproduction is WAY too much, they’re not doing it in an entertaining manner like on earlier seasons, this is just a hot ass mess and nothing makes sense.

I love Utica but she obviously lost I thought it was a pretty evident sweep for Tina really. People trying to justify it saying she won last week or her outfit was just good, girl no that hasn’t stopped them from eliminating so many other girls before. They wanted Tina gone and that’s just it, her commercial wasn’t bad at all and NOW they decide to bring the “I’m seeing the same” critique. It’s like the elimination order was planned since the beginning completely disregarding how the girls are actually doing.

Also wtf was that double win?? They were both great but it wasn’t THAT close to warrant a double win. It was so random there was like no justification for that. Symone should have won, or just give it to Rosé but both of them? The amount of close shots there have been before and this is what they choose for double win? It wasn’t even a close shot. Do you have any idea how many double wins they could have given last season when most of the challenges were super close even between 3 or 4 girls.

 

Was going to say this. It is nearing S11 levels of non re-watchability. 

If we would get double wins last season, Gigi, Jaida, Jackie would have more challenge wins under their belt. They should literally just do a S12 redo, just without Jaida, and call it All Stars.

Literally the Rusical challenge could have been a 5 way tie between Jan, Gigi, Jaida, Crystal, and Widow, either of them could have won it and it would have made perfect sense. That season is the reason I’m not losing faith on Drag Race because it shows they can still provide top tier seasons that perfectly balance the reality tv produced aspect with the competition aspect.

This may be a controversial opinion, but I thought Symone and Rose both deserved the double win. They were flawless this week. 

Also, the blatant favoritism towards Kandy is just making me angry. Her commercial was boring and uninspired, and for the hundredth time, she walked down the runway wearing something that looks like it came from the Halloween clearance rack at Kroger. I feel like I would like her more if she weren't being shoved in our face as this amazing queen when really, her performance on the show has been just slightly on the tepid end of mediocre.

By the way, daily reminder Utica was featured on Vogue magazine spread.

Only her and Gottmik been featured, separately, so far. Symone so far git spread on UK Vogue.

I’m quite happy with the winners this week. Although I thought Rosé did better overall. Their commercials were pretty much on par, but Rosé’s runway was the best tonight. Symone’s looked more like a furry runway rather than “beast couture”. She was just a fox with a crop top and shorts, although I really liked the addition of the hoops on the ears 

As for the bottom two, I thought it was gonna be Tina and Mik, seeing as they laughed a little at Utica’s at the end but didn’t laugh at Mik’s at all iirc. 

Tina started strong in the lip sync but kinda went down the “desperate” route, whereas Utica started off slow but was able to do some fun quirky bits towards the end

overall, I’m not mad at this episode, it was fun!

 

[Sneaky Oliver 21,265]

The elimination was fair. Tina's commercial was really bad, idk why you guys are trying to defend it. Utica deserved to stay and she was amazing in the lipsync. In fact, I would miss her way more than I'll miss Tina. 

Also they got footage of Olivia not smiling but they chose to keep the "smiling" one just to fit the critiques. That was shady.

[nikola 4,342]

I don't get how the f was Kandy not in the bottom 2.... like her commercial was bad, her runway was atrocious.... but hey she is "funny" so let's keep her.... this is so stupid. Producers are ruining this season with favoritism 

[xoxo Craig 55,649]

Oh thank the lord Tina went home

[xoxo Craig 55,649]

Rosé did absolutely amazing and I'm so happy for her. I didn't expect a double win with Symone, but again, Symone smashed it out of the park. Both of them deserved so much

 

I just want Kandy to go home, though I don't see it happening anytime soon. Production is desperately trying to mould her into another Vanjie and the thing is... Vanjie is funny, Kandy is not. Kandy is obnoxious, irritating... even to look at on the runway is annoyingly tired. They think she's funny but did anyone laugh?    

Tina is very one note. Nothing about her is interesting, and her commercial epitomised her run on the show. She thought she was "suprising" yet always comes out in red, yellow, and orange and looks dated... girl    her lipsync was a desperate, desperate attempt to be 'funny' to stay... but it came off as cringey. Utcia had her in that lipsync, she truly deserved to stay.

 

Top 4 I reckon will be Symone, Rosé, Gotmik, and Utica (or Olivia, or unfortunately Kandy).

What's the problem?

She won it fair and square, she fought for it and earned it.

"A Lot" should never even be said.

I didn't say that she didn't fight or deserve it tho, i do think Symone is owning the season, but as i said, there is a possibility of her getting five wins and it feels too much, because it has been clear since the first episode who is going to be Top 4 and they are not trying to hide it, i haven't read the leaks and it is so clear that Gottmik, Symone and Kandy are going to be top 4 because production is pushing them, and as other user said, why a double win? They could have given it to just one, i would have preferred Rose because that way the wins would be more balanced with Mik, Liv and her with 2 and Symone with 3.

I personally would not give her the win for Condragulations, the other three i think are very deserving to valid, but as you pointed out, why is it a double win, just give it to one, i would have preferred Rose because i like it when there isn't an obvious winner/best of, and that way we would have three girls with 2 wins and one with 3, but if they had given it to just Symone i guess it would have been fine too.

And as you also said, i'm not enjoying this season, it feels so forced and rude, why did they cast 13 girls if they knew which four or five they actually liked, everyone is dispensable except for Mik, Kandy and Symone, even Rose could get eliminated at this point.

[lilboyblue 3,802]

This season has lost me already. The judging is atrocious. 

[CyanDante 5,849]

Also is anyone still getting the winners circle and porkchop queens cliques from the queens left? 

They all looked like they were so ready for Utica to leave except Rosé.  like you can be sad for your friend but to act like that. 

This winners and losers circle was probably the dumbest twist thet could introduce.

I don't know what happens in untucked now, as I stopped watching because it's usually Kandy talking 90% of the time.

[Luke78619 22,941]

I’m so glad it wasn’t a runway of just horns  they all did something different and did a great job (except for kandy’s alien lol)

Untucked mainly focused on Tina tbf, wasn’t too much Kandy. These more recent episodes seem to have less kandy and more of everyone else now that the cast is smaller
