Also I think it's time to have a conversation about lipsyncs where one person hijacks the rival's performance to perform sexual gestures. When the other one joins in is fun, but it honestly made me a little uncomfortable here (and the distaste of doing it in front of Ronan Farrow).

For me, it was just a really lazy ‘well, eating Jaida’s ass worked…’. That lip sync was really very poor, neither of them are going to win the crown like that. Both of the ones featuring Monet have been good, though, so if she makes it… be warned!

Speaking of making it, the way she said ‘if there’s a will there’s a way’, inferring Shea can still qualify, sort of confirms there must be some twist coming. At the very least double badges?

Wintergreen was perfection, and reciting the hooking speech was GLORIOUS. If she had walked off singing, ‘white stockings, black shoes’, EMMY.

For me it was Viv who was potentially robbed. Yeah Trinity did better than she had previously, but the delivery was still a bit stilted. It felt very much like a storyline win rather than a justified one.

I loved the Single White Female reference but thought the colour and finish was a bit off.

I think she means to say that they've edited her 'better' jokes out to give more narrative to the audience for Trinity to be given the win.

I know, I get that, but the jokes they kept in were all really good and some of the best of the whole roast - everyone's roasts would have been cut down, she can't get annoyed that her "favourite" ones weren't there as that was probably subjective.

Of a season of glowing edits, I'd say hers was one of the most positive of the season.

Vivienne: "They didn't show my favourite jokes in the roast. So sick of this shit"

Thanks!
Whilst I think the Vivienne is talented - she has a bad attitude and really shows herself up. For example when Monet made the joke about her weight she snapped back that she was skinnier than her - as though she didn’t then go on to roast the others.

The same as how she keeps saying she would have 3 stars if it wasn’t for Jinkx. Well Jinkx and Trinity would have had an extra star too if they hadn’t been blocked - it is part of the game and if you are willing to take the benefits of the game you can’t moan at the downsides I hate that hypocrisy!

Also, the blocking had been pretty "fair" overall, unfortunately for us, as it didn't make the best TV, but the only time someone was blocked "unfairly" as in, it wasn't their "turn" was when Vivienne randomly blocked Jinkx for the second time for revenge making Jinkx the only one who was blocked twice.

I didn't find Viv's set that funny to be honest. She got a really positive edit for sure but in terms of who I found funnier I'd go for Raja, Monet, Jinkx and Trinity. I thought Raja's set was a tad overlooked actually.

Jinkx and Trinity felt like the correct top two to me. Jinkx's delivery and command of the podium is simply unbeatable while Trinity had arguably the funniest selection of jokes.

The lipsync....existed. The more I see Jinkx and Trinity lipsync the more I realise their Malambo No 1 and I Wanna Go lipsyncs were massive anomalies.
