RuPaul's Drag Race (Original Franchise)
- Thread starter Tiger Suit
- Start date
I really like Lala as an individual but I think having a stronger contestant like Widow or Crystal Methyd in her spot this round would've improved the cast dynamic considerably.
Daya Betty also would've kinda ate this.

Jimbo struggling not to laugh i cant
Also Alexis' crush on Lala seems totally produced by her for show purposes? Ddd. The awkward smiles say it all.
While I think Matt and Bowen's assessment of Jimbo is a tad hyperbolic, Jimbo is very intelligent and generally to be relied on to bring a real star quality to the majority of challenges. I still can't get over whatever it is stopping me from stanning, and I HATE adults pretending to be children, so I hoped beyond hope this wouldn't be another Jimbo win. It's boring as a viewer but especially when she is BIZARRELY bad at lipsyncing? I don't even think she's throwing it, she's just crap? I know it's not her bag and she's evidently brilliant at other things, but the producers could give us a show, dammit.
I wanted Jaymes or Alexis to win even if Jimbo gave more energy. She knew just what to do to make Ru laugh (even if I hated it).

Is there a lipsync for the crown at the end of this season? If so how are they going to justify a Jimbo win (given he makes it to the end and doesn't get eliminated like he did in UKvTW).
Editing. Like when Jinkx was the obvious winner but Monet apparently had a better performance so they cut Monet's parts out to justify the win.
This was the first good episode of the season. I would’ve liked to see Jaymes win once and this was her only chance but fucking hell Jimbo is completely in a league of her own and one of the best queens to ever come out of Drag Race as a whole.
Other random thoughts:
- I 100% believe Kandi said it dd
- It was pure joy to see Jasmine back, I have such a soft spot for her!
- The way we are never getting rid of Kahanna… I have to laugh

The way Jimbo steamrolled this entire episode from the vacant workroom strolling while everyone was stressing to the deranged Snatch performance... then to top it off with a runway look that feels so exciting and fresh amongst so many other obvious reveals. Wow, that's my winner.
I actually would have stood up for Jimbo at the reveal if I were on that panel. And I can only echo the sentiments about the Snatch - I was worried I was going to cramp from the excruciating insanity, and I absolutely loved Jimbo being visibly moved by the guest critiques (Michelle trying and failing for a laugh just the icing on the cake). The canned critique scripts really need to go (the hilarious Ross Matthews with an "egg-celent" pun? Take several weeks off please).
It's so frustrating to have Hallucinate and Jimbo just being absolute dogshit at lipsyncing. Like yes, unhinged in Snatch Game, whatever, yes we knew I want to see a GIRLY TWIRL!!!!!!!!!
an addendum to this is Jimbo responding after everything Ru says in the leadup to the lipsync is so funny. "Yeah. Uh huh. Okay."
It would've been more satisfying to NOT have Jimbo win last week (when they really didn't deserve it), and have Hallucinate as the lip sync. Then they could've given Jimbo the win this week and had the Joan Jett lip sync this week instead.
Jimbo demolished everything in her way this episode except for the lipsync ddd. I hate adults playing children as well, but she made it so deranged that it felt like she wasn't even playing a human being. The tap dancing was just... unhinged. And that genuinely uncanny and stupid runway? Easily straight up to my personal top 5 ever on the show.
There is some truly awkward energy in this cast. Jaymes seems to be at arm’s length from everyone, as well as Alexis to a lesser and obviously iconic extent.
I can't believe we have to endure Kahanna ANOTHER week, it was the perfect time for her to go, ugh.
