RuPaul's Drag Race (S17)

Sam won me over a smidge when she told Suzie that she was surprising in a bad way. Currently my top 2 of the season are Onya and Jewels (who I feel deserves a better track record than she has). They're the only 2 who seem to be enjoying themselves and both are proving themselves well rounded in all challenges.
 
He/Him
I think this is the loudest the whole "Y'all at home don't do drag so you can't critique me" argument has ever been in the show's history, which is fair to a point, but has also fast turned into "Everything I do is great and if you don't like it you're a hater" which is... fine I guess, but also do you not have anything better to do than to argue with people on the internet?
 
I get some bad vibes from Kori King (she seems to pick on people she perceives to be weaker or that she simply doesn’t find attractive) and doesn’t have the performance skills/taste/talent to back this up but I do find her quite fun and her good humoured reactions to being read are always amusing.

Also- Shake That Ice is my favourite drag race contestant original song for some time.
 
I was high and I watched Untucked for the first time in years because everyone was talking about how terrible and delusional Suzie was being. I kind of took her saying "Onya was just playing herself" very uncomfortably. Because it's just untrue. I do think a lot of people in Snatch Game are just playing themselves in the past, but I just didn't feel that from Onya.

Also I love that they give the girls some phones to do some B-roll footage to make Untucked a bit more fun now. I don't know when that started, but that was cute, felt a little more "behind the scenes-y" than before. The Untucked set looks way too decorated now, I kind of miss the feel of "Yeah we just throw the girls in this room with a couch and there's just extra props laying around". It still has stuff just thrown everywhere but it looks so intentionally placed and lit now.
Oh, and Lana getting on the phone to vlog right before the lipsync and she was just like so rambley. "I'm going to fight because I deserve to be here, so I just need to fight. Because I want to stay" like damn the anxiety was palpable.
 
This was such a bad snatch game. Onya was brilliant, and although I’m not a fan of queens making up characters, Jewels was second best of the night. I wasn’t familiar with who Suzie or Sam played, but at least they were funny.

I’d have put Arrietty in the bottom with Lana to be honest considering how little she is giving aside from design challenges, but I think her runway saved her this week (and a design challenge must be coming).

16 years of snatch game and we’re giving a queen a ‘so bad it was good’ critiques and kissing arse. This isn’t All Stars 7. I wonder how bad Lexi actually was because it was bad from what we saw; she didn’t even try. Then she kind of disappeared in the edit. Same with Acacia.
