So unless they were told by producers which lever to pick I guess it wasn't hidden meddling?
In a quick shot at the very end, the numbers 1 and 7 had a quick pink glow and those were the saves so, I imagine producers had them pull certain ones. In my opinion, it doesn't matter to me if the game isn't actually up to luck. RuPaul just outrighting saving someone is really the same as them masking that behind a "game".
I'm pretty indifferent about this save. They storylined it pretty well by making 2 of the worst queens in the challenge have just the right runway theme to give them good enough critiques to warrant staying.
But I would've been fine with Kori being in the bottom and leaving at this point, too.
Also: So glad Suzie won that. The weirdest aspect of the way this challenge is set up is that Onya basically got to both be in a skit, and also be the host - an extra responsibility and "character" and style of comedy that no other queen had to do. So if it also locked her in for the win - I think it would've been unfair.
I think I had the same gripe with last season's RDR Live too because Mirage ended up as host and bombed and she got eliminated but she had to host and no other queen had to host so is it even fair?
Anyways TLDR: The caveman skit was dreadful. The beaver skit was fine. The Weekend Update skit was good. The Golden Girls parody was terrible.
