I hope that future queens think about backup outfits a little more, particularly for less-than-original-but-still-high-concept looks (ex. Beads -> Mardi Gras and [UKS2 spoiler here]). I know that they're given strict requirements on how much they can bring, but when you see another queen in the werk room push a similar angle on something you're about to walk with, you need to make it your own. Doesn't help that none of the three Madri Gras looks were really that great, at least Eliott had a time period twist on it and Tina had two reveals (the first one making the outfit weaker IMO). Maybe it was just LaLa's time to go.
Rose was PRESSED when Ru said she was safe. Girl has zero poker face and it only gets funnier each time it happens.
When it comes to the winner, Symone was robbed. That look was beautiful and took the theme to new heights. Oliva's look was very cute, but didn't sell the theme and I don't think her mime character was the biggest risk, but whatever. I guess the challenge really matters more than runway.
Editors must be cutting all the stuff where Tina and Kandy are interesting, because what they are showing is grating. Neither know how to pad/proportionize well and their reads were weak (good luck on Snatch Game, girls :/ ). Kandy's look this week could have been a winner if she learned how to pad and didn't hide behind that giant stole. These two are making me wish for a season of Drag Race that purposely excludes NYC girls. I get it, the NYC girls are strong in a lot of fundamental ways, but the cliquey vibe they tend to engage in is unappealing and, worse, they never really grow during the season.
