Yes! Best episode in ages + great lip sync as well. Glad my queen Trinity won. Although I must give credit to Valentina for having a great runway look, but her personality comes across as cocky and self-sufficient, [ALERT! Major spoiler ahead, you have been warned!]
Other than that I enjoyed Nina's, Farrah's and Peppermint's look. Aleixs keeps giving me yawns and I really hope the lack of acting challenges will get her eliminated.

Gosh, Alexis was crazy high levels of cringe in that episode. Sulking because of the roastings. Imagine Latrice standing in her shoes.. she would have just howled with laughter and thrown it right back. What Ru said in that episode really struck a chord with me. We need to learn to laugh at ourselves, and it's something for a long time i've been able to do. It says "we've survived", and it's just a great feeling when you can poke fun at yourself, and brush stuff off your shoulder. With me it's my depression, and well, if I couldn't laugh at it, i'd be one hell of an even more dark and depressed bitch than I already am.
It's not like Alexis is even morbidly obese. As a man she looks totally fine. She's just not a stick and so in drag looks quite bulky, and she should work it and own it, instead of pulling a glum face because someone called you broad in a shading task. I've warmed in some kind of way at least to everyone left on the show, except Alexis. She's just so bland, not funny, and I get this feeling she's looking down on everyone else. Poor Farrah. I would have kept her just for one more week. Peppermint is stepping up and strangely becoming quite lovable. I remember in the early weeks I was puzzled at how she and Alexis kept escaping negative critique. Valentina was the best in the task I thought, and I loved Trinity this episode (even if her roasting wasn't too hot), she just had a nice presence throughout this weeks show. My favourite keeps changing every week but at the moment I think it's actually possibly Trinity.

Wow, that latest episode really has annoyed me.
Alexis was the only person during the challenge on her team to get a negative critique. Her runway was easily the worst (in fact, it was the only lame one) and that too got a negative reaction from the judges. So an all round massive fail that episode..... yet.. Ru somehow doesn't put her in the bottom 2? Valentina and Nina were fails in their challenge as well, but at least they worked the damn runway (especially Valentina, she looked gorgeous). How exactly does Ru come to the decision that both of them are worthy of a place in the bottom 2 when Alexis was there, with a poor look AND poor performance in the challenge? It makes zero sense.
Thanks to a dumb decision we've now lost one of the strongest queens this season. Sure it could have been Valentina vs Alexis, and if Valentina messed up then she'd be gone in that situation as well. I just don't think she even should have been in that position though. Nina vs Alexis = bye Alexis. Why is she still there? Ru even shaded her, then was like "you're safe my dear"? O... k. I don't know how someone so dull can be so annoying. Poor Valentina, I felt really sad for her
Ending on a postive, best runway EVER! I loved it. Leigh Bowery realness. The only look I didn't like was Alexis (duh). Trinity is on a slay streak, and now my clear favourite left. Trinity for the win! It's funny how at first I thought she was too hard and bitchy, but now I see she's actually really sweet, sassy and can laugh at herself. I find her charming. I think I love her. Always looks amazing and is actually funny as well.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy... Well that certainly was an interesting show! I'm a little flabbergasted by what happened in truth, but what else can you say? If you're going to turn up without having learnt the words to the lip sync, I'm sorry, you deserve to go home... :? As for who should have been in the lip sync, well it was always going to be close between her and Alexis. On the challenge alone, Valentina was bad, but runway was fine, whereas Alexis was fine if overshadowed on her challenge, but terrible on the runway. Tricky one, but I'm finding it hard to be sorry for Valentina after she basically tried to cheat her way out of the lip sync...

this season is bringing up drama I live for it.
Now I want a queen being DQ by Ru while doing a LSFYL, a LSFYL alone, or a queen that decides to not LSFYL and sashay away by herself by leaving the stage.
Come on season 10

Alexis Michelle has gone home? It's a Hanukkah miracle. Baruch HaShem.... but actually, secretly I was hoping she'd stay just for the trolololol's, as I only really care about one contestant who's left, and Alexis was starting to become entertaining for all the wrong reasons. My friends and I can't stop quoting her now. I did think actually at first that she would win the lip sync. Alexis for sure started it, but Peppermint finished it. I think it overall was one of the best lip syncs of this season, and I actually felt a bit sad for Alexis, as Ru sent her off with that Liza quote and Alexis' voice cracked whilst thanking her. Alexis has an overbearing and grating personality but I don't think she's a bad person. I don't quite understand how she lasted this long on the show, but it's not her fault.
On this weeks challenge... ermm.. how exactly did Shea win? Her Village People look I thought was ridiculously overrated and she received scorn for not following the theme properly with her "rainbow" outfit. I'm not super keen on Sasha but two of her looks were great (unicorn and rainbow), and Trinity had one of the best runway looks ever in her cop outfit (I gasped), her unicorn was super cute and she was living the character, and her rainbow was kinda basic, but at least was following the theme.
I find Shea rather overrated. For me this season has only one queen worthy of being crowned and she sticks out by a mile, Trinity Taylor. The others don't even come close. She has incredible and varied looks, is a great performer in challenges, actually is funny, charming and can dish the shade as well as take it, and she's extremely talented. I really thought I wouldn't like her when this season started, but she's completely won me around. She's wonderful. Peppermint has grown on me a lot, and I like her personality + she's the lip sync queen, but her looks are often basic and unpolished. Sasha often delivers but there's something about her I find off-putting and I haven't been able to put my finger on exactly what it is. Shea I didn't even notice for many weeks, but she was consistently being hyped. Her looks are overrated and I just think Trinity outperforms her in every department. Charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent.
Trinity Taylor for the win!

MY.THOUGHTS.EXACTLY.
I am done with Sasha and Shea being top with most basic "fashion forward" runway looks. I am so pissed Trinity was "low" this week, her unicorn was the best and her village people look too. It's unbelievable. I also thought Peppermint was great this week, it's like I'm allergic to Shea and Sasha and honestly I felt like one ofthem should've lip-synced.
I think Nina was one of the most original queens to ever be on the show but she was her own worst enemy sadly. Her lipsyncs and runaway looks gave me life. She was the one I was rooting for so I don't care much about these other queens either though I am also rooting for Trinity to win it at this point. Shae is just boring to me and I'm not living for Sasha's monobrow. Go Trinity!
Ps Nina should have been Black Chyna

I agree with what seems to be a rather common sentiment here that Shea is kind of pat. She's talented, sure, but she hasn't really had any kind of WOW (presents) moment in the competition. Sasha's grown on me quite a bit. It used to be quite a bother how she'd state super basic things like they're earth-shattering beacons of creativity, but in the last few episodes, her head has shrunk, and it's made her much more enjoyable and less grating. Trinity would make an awesome winner; I've loved her kind of mob-wife aesthetic so far. She's probably the best pageant queen since Alexis Mateo - may her inconsistency not come back to bite her at the end like Alexis' did. But my favorite, zero as her chances of winning at this point are, is Peppermint.
"Peppermint, why you so nice? Cause I can be!" (her verse on C.L.A.T. is the only credible rebuttal, I think, to Aja's being the best)
"And now you look like a bitch...playing a bitch...who's in the last scene."
That being said, she did really stumble this week. When her rainbow look came out, my first thought was "that looks accidental." Good looking out that her lip-sync slayed the house down.
OH and one more note: what an awesome challenge! It was a delightful idea and conducive to some great work. Were I Ru, Sasha would've won. Her Village People look was fabulous; she should just always wear wigs. [MENTION=14505]Lupus[/MENTION] and I watched together and disagreed fiercely about how relevant Shea's rule-skirting should be. I think, especially if someone else is going to be read for being "too literal," there's nothing wrong with interpreting rainbow as she did, and she also looked very good in it (though, on account of her messy final look, shouldn't have won, I do agree with y'all). It's not like it was THAT much of a stretch, either. She interpreted "rainbow flag" as "lots of colors," which isn't a big jump.

Well now I've been outed as having watched the episode, I suppose I'd better give my overall opinion on it
Sasha was robbed yer honour. In fact, about the only decision I agreed with was that Alexis lost... As [MENTION=14007]lavieenrose[/MENTION] alluded to above, I'm not a fan of people going "hmmm, so that's the theme" *does totally unrelated thing*. Regardless of how good it is, if it doesn't relate to the theme, it should be a huge negative in the critique. She certainly wasn't bottom two, but how you can say she was the winner when she failed to do one of the looks is beyond me. Let's face it: rainbow flag is colours; you could do literally anything with multiple colours and claim it's related if you think what she did was acceptable. Anyway, my opinion alone and how I personally judge these things
As for the bottom two, I'd have had Trinity there again without a doubt. None of her three looks really wowed me, although there was little wrong with them, but Peppermint had *the* single best outfit of the night at the end and that should have kept her out of the bottom for me.
I've somehow become a Sasha supporter. Odd, given I'm not usually a fan of the artsy queens, but she comes across to me as nice, but not afraid to say it like it is. She's clever too, no really stupid moments. She is fabulous on the main stage now, as Calvin says, she's toned herself down a bit. Sasha for the won peeps!
Of the rest: Peppermint is nice, but inconsistent. Shea is, as said above, totally overrated and doesn't follow the rules Trinity annoys me at times with her attitude, but she's certainly very talented. Still, she can be inconsistent, so I could certainly see her being a surprise fourth place if she's not on point next week...

She wouldn't deserve it based on her overall record for me, but out of the four, she's got the second worst record. tbh any could go next week; no one has been totally stellar throughout; it's just that she's struck me as being quite inconsistent.

Sasha is robbed as hell. Producers don't just want her to win like at all. Two double wins and robbed for the makeover, for snatch game, for the roast and for the ball. At least they didn't make her lipsync. Yes Shea is like Ru's favourite and she has high chances to win the crown but she's pushed so hard for a win. Trinity is a great character for reality TV : hope she makes it to AS3.
By the way the top 3 is gonna be one of the strongest in a while, I'd say since season 5. (The best is for sure AS2 top 3 but yeah it's All Stars)
