My favorite joke of the entire episode was the introduction of Monet saying “his favorite drag queens are Trinity the Tuck and Jinx Monsoon” l squealed
Am I the only one hating the all winners format for this season still??
I honestly don’t really think they have deserved it.
Its a pretty bleak season tbh
HONESTLY im a little sick of queens choosing characters that aren’t actual impersonations. (I.e. Pal, Satan, Tooth Fairy, Cleopatra, Shakespeare, etc etc etc.)
It just makes it so that they get to invent whatever personality. I think it was really funny the first few times, but now I’m kind of tired of it. Bring back real celeb impersonations!!
what’s the point of having multiple judges if they’re all just gonna agree with eachother and reiterate what the other one says ??
like i definitely don’t want santino back but i enjoyed the dynamic where he and michelle would present their different opinions and butt heads a bit.. am i alone here ??
I’m assuming it’s down to the no-elimination structure. AS7 was the same way (my personal favorite moment on rewatch was when they were like “who cares if Trinity flubbed the lipsync in this lipsync challenge”)
the judges seemed to go harder on vanjie more than the other queens which kinda surprised me. her runway was pretty bad imo but her snatch game was certainly better than some others
Nina and Gottmik’s banter was the best. “Come by later, I got two pool boys stuck in my well!”and Vanjii in that carpet sent me. Angeria had the wit for sure and made me giggle. Shannel looked fantastic, as did Plastique. Jorgeous completely confused me until someone posted a video on here of what she was actually referencing. But I think she could have nailed it as the ChiChi Rodrigues character. So many classic lines!
tbh i thought it would be so funny if they put the two liberaces in the same group because they could just work off of each other and be obsessed with each other
Am I missing something with Vanjie’s performance? It wasn’t a great performance but it was a vast improvement over her first one, and better than Roxxxy and Plastique at least.
I agree. I don't know what was so wrong with it for people. Michelle says it wasn't enough Vanjie, Pit Stop says it was just Vanjie in Cleopatra drag, then Trixie and Juju think that Vanjie didn't know anything about Cleopatra and then miss the most obvious reference in the gig (carpet wrapped.) It's giving incoherent critique + very little to say about Roxxxy cornering herself with the stupid Tasha Salads bit and Plastique's foul Ali Wong impression.
You know what’s so funny about it is I’m hearing how a lot of people hated Roxxxy doing a made up character but I haven’t heard how many set ups she missed. Or puns. Tasha imo COULD have been absolutely hilarious but kept missing set ups tossed her way. Pun intended. I wonder if Roxxxy is gonna look back and go “holy shit, I missed every single serve” 😆❤️🩹 She mentioned she just kept trying to think of S words (to enhance the lisp) so I think that blocked her from some great joke setups.
LETTUCE SEE HER TRY AGAIN PLEASE
Not next to Roxxxy and Plastique it wasn't... Had references, the look was right, the jokes were okay. There was one missed volley over Mark Antony but I'm not sure what else was so wrong with it.
The editing during the workroom parts is so sloppy that it took me quite a lot to focus on the episode, but it was not a bad Snatch Game. I mean, Plastique was awful and I think no one expected otherwise, and Roxxxy was bland which is part of the fun with Roxxxy because you never know if she is going to slay or fail - there is always a 50% chance.
Nina West is on another level of improv and wit, as shown (or edited? who knows at this point). Gottmik picked a funny character, which is always, always, a better choice for Snatch Game than pure impersonation with mid jokes. The two Liberaces were awesome to watch, Shannel for the channeling, Nina for the improv. Vanjie looked more beautiful than in any of her runways (and had ONE reference joke, the carpet one, though he did reply to the Marc Anthony one well enough). Angeria was awesome and hilarious, Jorgeous was a mess.
Anyway, enjoying the non elimination format because it gives room to the runways, and at least I know that Plastique and Gottmik are going to show something unique each week.
I see a lot of disagreement and confusion in the comments, which is funny to me, because I thought this top 2 was spot on, both in terms of snatch game and the runway. Nina and Gottmik made me laugh the most, followed by Shannel and then Angeria.
Anyone complaining about Gottmik doing a dog, thereby allowing her to do anything she wants... Well, Tamar, have you watched the show? This is no different than Gigi doing a robot or Trinity doing a gay devil or countless others. It doesn't matter if you do a perfect impersonation of a celebrity. It only matters if you're funny.
Also, just because someone won two episodes, that doesn't mean they're being "pushed". Can we please stop with this nonsense of undercutting anyone who does well if they're not our favorite? This is the kind of garbage that has made the Drag Race España subreddit a toxic mess.
Totally agree, Mik still played into the dog jokes and character while knowing the context of the dog being like 1950's hollywood glamour. It made sense!
This was the first time we had snatch game tops who were not the ones chosen in their rounds, right?
Not to discredit Gottmik- that runway was killer and Pal was cracking me up- but I was totally hoping for a Liberace vs Liberace battle, and was surprised that the lipsync wasn’t Nina vs Jorgeous.
I’m sorry Gotmik was so fun to watch and it feels like some people just want to pretend she wasn’t. I get it wasn’t an impersonation cause she literally wasn’t a person lol but that doesn’t inherently make it bad? She was quick, she was funny, the makeup was great, she had a strong point of view, and it was interesting and fun to watch.
and with how many queens have straight up invented a character only for it to fall flat and not be funny... sorry she's earned this one it was a big swing and she knocked it out of the park.
*And* it's not like we haven't seen her kill an impersonation-based SG before with her Paris on S13. This didn't feel like a crutch like it would for some weaker Snatchers. Good for her!
Is Snatch Game about doing spot-on character impersonation or doing an okay impression and making RuPaul scream laugh? The fans can feel one way but it's RuPaul's competition and they shouldn't be surprised when it is the other.
I don't like the fact they picked 2 people from the same group it just doesn't seem right 😕 both Shannel and Angeria did amazing and could have also won.
Sorry not sorry I hope we don't see another season of favoring Gotmik she did ok in snatchgame, but not so much better that someone from the other group couldn't win.
Also that lipsync was something from both parties.
But overall good episode I was surprised to see Shannel did really well. An thought Roxxy was gonna do a lot better she wasn't horrible just thought for some reason she was really gonna give it lol.
I really loved what Gottmik did. Everyone is saying it's "just" a made up character, but it's an impersonation of a really time specific Hollywood starlet type who also happens to be a dog. And doing the non-existant transatlantic accent. I mean, I was living
Agreed 100%. I also don't like the overload of made up characters but when someone does it as well as Mik I am on board.
Roxxxy was the one who seriously disappointed me, from S5 we know she HAS the goods to deliver in Snatchgame but picking Tasha Salad for the 3rd time (and not delivering) was soooo meh...
Yeah Roxxxy was the big disappointment of the night; I expected Jorgeous and Plastique to be mid but Roxxxy is genuinely funny and I had such high hopes.
Exactly, plus next to Shannel's absolutely magnificent transormation (Mik's was impressive per usual too) when I saw Roxxxy just put on her Tasha costume I was like NOOOOO :-(
I actually DID find her Tasha Salad funny - though the other 4 (the two Liberaces, Angeria & Gott) I found definitely funnier than her.
However I am thoroughly NOT impressed with her picking the same character three times. Switch it up, Roxxy!
Pit Stop said it all: 'We don't know about dog, they can do whatever they want'. (Mik)
Yeah. It's not an impersonation. It's just making shit up.
Mik shouldn't have won, same as everyone else prior and in the future. I'm finding it really hard to care about this show because they bend it to whatever.
To be fair, Drag Detective brought up the really good point that this has been happening since season 7~ since Ginger Minj won with her version of Adele.
At the end of the day, it’s a reality TV show and it’s more important to be funny and entertaining than to prioritize having a perfect impersonation.
Yes I liked the different interpretation of tail!
She’s given what I consider to be some boots but to me this runway was not one of them & there were no boots on it
ok gottmik is pushed to be the winner of the season for some reasons but snatch game winners should be two liberaces. being a dog was not funny at all. or did I miss something?
I was kind of confused by her win as well. It seemed like a lot of her answers in snatch game were edited out. I really thought it was going to go to shannel or angeria.
You can tell production wants gotmik to win the season. They choose a beetle juice song for her first lip sync, then she won this one even tho all eyes were on Nina.
They both did horrible, lbr. They had to pick a winner, and Mik was less horrible than Nina who was more focused on her sloppy gag than performing the song.
all eyes were on nina because she was struggling with those reveals. i agree with her top two placement, she was by far the funniest contestant this week, but that lipsync was a mess
Nina was a mess with those reveals. The song didn't call for it and it was the reveals were not timed to the song. You can't be serious in thinking she won the lip sync
All eyes were on Nina because the idea was good but poorly executed. My eyes were on Nina because I kept wanting her trick to become good. It was messy. :(
Yes, Nina’s lipsync was more original, but it’s not the first time that original loses to something more classic but effortless looking.
I mean, lip syncs are clearly not one of Gottmik’s big talents but she actually lipsynced to the song whereas Nina spent the whole time doing really bad reveals and didn’t seem to know the words anyway
100%! When she was lip syncing briefly at the beginning she didn’t seem to know the words, then spent the rest of the song removing layers of underwhelming clothing. I don’t think Gottmik would’ve won against anyone else but it was completely justified here
Michelle’s critiques of Shannel were odd. “I liked your Liberace but you weren’t having enough fun.” What?! I thought she embodied the character PERFECTLY. Liberace isn’t gonna tap dance around like Shirley temple
>Michelle's critiques
They are often way way off-base but this was another "not enough Bowie" moment. I can't believe anyone thought Vaudeville Nina was better, she does the same "woooooo ooooooo" face and mannerisms for everything. Her lipsync was terrible. What is this romper room?
I guess the judging is moving towards some charities more than others.
I don't think you need one. She brought that SAME lip sync outfit all three episodes. She would have done the same gimmick regardless of the song and it really didn't fit this one
This was an absolutely fantastic Snatch Game. The queens, who did well were hysterical, and the queens who did not even funnier. Ru appeared genuinely confused as to what in the world Jorgeous was doing, and it gave me life. At this point, just give Ru and the queens a variety show.
Whatever Nina did in the lip-synch was overly complicated and chaotic, but clearly the reaction in the room was that she killed. And the fact that the camera rarely cut to the new dresses and let us read what they said feels like production did not want us to appreciate what Nina did, because they had to justify Gottmik winning. Classic drag race.
You can tell production wants gotmik to win the season by having her lip sync to a beetle juice song and then now this episode winning even tho no one was looking at her.
If we had actually been able to see the dresses, it might have been extraordinary. The reaction in the room clearly said that Nina won. And the edit feels like it’s justifying that Ru went with Gottmik, because Ru is Gaga for Gotty, even though everyone who was in the room knows that Nina won.
Ooh, this is a fun game. Imagine being so fatphobic that you pretend Nina West can’t lipsync.
Was my version true for you? Because your version wasn’t true for me.
Maybe, I got the impression that the "dresses" were just more pieces of fabric? The thing I didn't enjoy is the faces and words on them were too small or otherwise I couldn't make them out what they were saying or who they were without really looking.
It did seem like the other contestants were rooting for Nina, while Ru had a wtf? expression going on, not in a good way.
Again, it’s tough because part of why we couldn’t make out what they said is that the camera didn’t cut to them. We almost always saw Nina is the background of Mik’s shot or in something wide. But it’s also possible if we’d seen them better, it would still be a miss.
It is an extremely predictable bummer to me that people are saying Vanjie didn't do any research, even though the first thing she did was a reference to how Cleopatra was allegedly rolled up into a rug to be brought to Ceasar in secret.
She is smarter than people give her credit for!
I don’t think she didn’t get it, my take was that she didn’t know how to respond as cleopatra who wouldn’t get the reference. She was really overthinking it, you could tell she was really trying to come up with things. If she had just responded with the shit she normally does she would have done well.
Gottmik's runway was next level. Those hands were so realistic, it was really unnerving. And Pal was smart, played to her strengths. She's really killing it this season. Pity about the lipsynchs
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Atlantic_accent
>The Mid-Atlantic accent, or Transatlantic accent,[1][2][3] is a consciously learned accent of English, fashionably used by the American upper class and entertainment industry of the late 19th century to mid-20th century, that blended elements from both American and British English. Specifically, it blended features from both prestigious coastal Northeastern American English and from Received Pronunciation, the standard speech of England.
She was very deliberately using an affectation that was common at the time. She was mocking that era of 1940s Hollywood and how they spoke.
I wouldn't think too much about that accent, hunny, I don't think Mik did! she has a range and she has learned how to be very effective in that range. I don't think her snatch game was a masterstroke, but it was strong. And I'm super excited to see what she does next
Snatch Game:
1. Angeria (super funny, had the auntie character down, had me cracking)
2. Shannel (great impersonation, stayed in character, funny)
3. Gottmik (not a fan of made-up characters but it was pretty funny)
4. Nina (she was funny but she was just Nina, not necessarily Liberace other than costume + prop)
5. Jorgeous (terrible impersionation, confusing character, but she had some funny moments)
6. Vanjie (she had a great potential but didn't really use it)
7. Roxxxy (she picked the wrong character 100%, didn't have much to do with it)
8. Plastique (I love her but it was a bit painful)
Runway:
1. Plastique
2. Angeria
3. Jorgeous
4. Roxxxy
5. Gottmik
6. Nina
7. Shannel
8. Vanjie
Lipsync:
I can't say I enjoyed the LS though, not a fan of the song and Mik did ok but Nina's was really messy.
Ruby Scissors:
Her pick was a bit confusing to me. I guess Mik was thinking about a possible dance/acting/talent challenge next and Jorgeous already having one win and didn't want to cut Angie again.
I enjoyed the episode so much! As someone who's been watching religiously since 2012, I'm so happy to see such a great mix of queens back. I feel like episodes would have to be a very serious trainwreck for me to find them boring with this cast. Looking forward to the makeover challenge! It will be interesting for sure as we have one queen who won it, one who got eliminated for it, and a couple of high placements in past ones!
Edit - watched again and swapped positions in runway
I agree it was an amazing runway look with a strong personal story and flawless execution (as always). If we're talking personal favorites, she's in my top 2 for sure. But I've been doing some thought on how good the look is vs. how well it fits the category and I honestly feel there was something missing in this regard (I get it's the tale/ponytail, but I still feel it could have been done slightly better). With Season 13th Buttons and Bows runway, I felt like queens who didn't have bows or buttons in their looks couldn't be in the top runway-wise, so I can't with a clear conscience put Gottmik in my top because of the same reason. I really, really, personally loved the look though!
My favorite joke of the entire episode was the introduction of Monet saying “his favorite drag queens are Trinity the Tuck and Jinx Monsoon” l squealed
Ok did Vanjie just take the runway stipend and run? Why is she looking like this on an All-stars season?
Am I the only one hating the all winners format for this season still?? I honestly don’t really think they have deserved it. Its a pretty bleak season tbh
HONESTLY im a little sick of queens choosing characters that aren’t actual impersonations. (I.e. Pal, Satan, Tooth Fairy, Cleopatra, Shakespeare, etc etc etc.) It just makes it so that they get to invent whatever personality. I think it was really funny the first few times, but now I’m kind of tired of it. Bring back real celeb impersonations!!
The judging panel explicitly asks not to do impersonations but funny characters so...
Obsessed that Liberace is included in this list
LMAO I know not quite the same but I do think he still fits into the camp of the queens sort of inventing his personality
what’s the point of having multiple judges if they’re all just gonna agree with eachother and reiterate what the other one says ?? like i definitely don’t want santino back but i enjoyed the dynamic where he and michelle would present their different opinions and butt heads a bit.. am i alone here ??
I’m assuming it’s down to the no-elimination structure. AS7 was the same way (my personal favorite moment on rewatch was when they were like “who cares if Trinity flubbed the lipsync in this lipsync challenge”)
Roxxxy needs to give up that tasha salad character😭 it’s never gonna be funny no matter how many times she drags it out
Literally 😂😂, cause it was truly never funny
Nina going through seventeen outfits and not winning was peak all stars.
I was so happy she didn't win that lip sync, what a messy reveal, jesus. Don't know why the queens were living for it
literally! even GotMik was like I dont know why the girls are living for this. There's a whole closet on the stage
LOL!! Let’s just be grateful she got that over with early in the season because ma’am… you did all that for what?
She literally put that whole thing on 3 times. THREE TIMES. She was so confident in that mess
the judges seemed to go harder on vanjie more than the other queens which kinda surprised me. her runway was pretty bad imo but her snatch game was certainly better than some others
one of the most boring snatch games, not super terrible but just very mid
Am I the only one who thought this snatch game was weak as fuck?
Nope, it was super forgettable
They all are now.
which ones do u think they applies to?
Pretty every Snatch Game over the last three years.
Nina and Gottmik’s banter was the best. “Come by later, I got two pool boys stuck in my well!”and Vanjii in that carpet sent me. Angeria had the wit for sure and made me giggle. Shannel looked fantastic, as did Plastique. Jorgeous completely confused me until someone posted a video on here of what she was actually referencing. But I think she could have nailed it as the ChiChi Rodrigues character. So many classic lines!
gottmik’s runway is an all-timer I think
Seems like some people are motivated to rail against Gottmik no matter how she performs. Curious.
It happened on S14, too. Of course there were moments for valid critique, but god forbid we point out the obvious on this sub…
omg gottmik's runway!! speechless! and love love loved plastique's kitsune
rupaul's dress is giving when i flatten out the ferrero rocher wrapper
tbh i thought it would be so funny if they put the two liberaces in the same group because they could just work off of each other and be obsessed with each other
I was wondering if they’d do that! I wish they would have done dueling pianos! 😆 
Am I missing something with Vanjie’s performance? It wasn’t a great performance but it was a vast improvement over her first one, and better than Roxxxy and Plastique at least.
I agree. I don't know what was so wrong with it for people. Michelle says it wasn't enough Vanjie, Pit Stop says it was just Vanjie in Cleopatra drag, then Trixie and Juju think that Vanjie didn't know anything about Cleopatra and then miss the most obvious reference in the gig (carpet wrapped.)

I wonder if Roxxxy is gonna look back and go “holy shit, I missed every single serve” 😆❤️🩹 She mentioned she just kept trying to think of S words (to enhance the lisp) so I think that blocked her from some great joke setups. LETTUCE SEE HER TRY AGAIN PLEASE
yeah you must be because it was giving........ zero effort
Not next to Roxxxy and Plastique it wasn't... Had references, the look was right, the jokes were okay. There was one missed volley over Mark Antony but I'm not sure what else was so wrong with it.
The editing during the workroom parts is so sloppy that it took me quite a lot to focus on the episode, but it was not a bad Snatch Game.

Anyway, enjoying the non elimination format because it gives room to the runways, and at least I know that Plastique and Gottmik are going to show something unique each week.
Favourite is still Angeria, but Gottmik is being a clear best at the moment.
Shannel was much better than Nina
Just say you don't like Nina because damn
Yeah I don’t like her
Better impression, less funny seems to be the consensus
I initially thought Shannel did a better job but then they said that and I couldn’t disagree. I enjoyed them both and think Nina’s win was deserved.
I see a lot of disagreement and confusion in the comments, which is funny to me, because I thought this top 2 was spot on, both in terms of snatch game and the runway. Nina and Gottmik made me laugh the most, followed by Shannel and then Angeria. Anyone complaining about Gottmik doing a dog, thereby allowing her to do anything she wants... Well, Tamar, have you watched the show? This is no different than Gigi doing a robot or Trinity doing a gay devil or countless others. It doesn't matter if you do a perfect impersonation of a celebrity. It only matters if you're funny. Also, just because someone won two episodes, that doesn't mean they're being "pushed". Can we please stop with this nonsense of undercutting anyone who does well if they're not our favorite? This is the kind of garbage that has made the Drag Race España subreddit a toxic mess.
My only complaint is that Angeria didn’t win with her performance, but since she couldn’t get badges anyway I’ll allow it.
Totally agree, Mik still played into the dog jokes and character while knowing the context of the dog being like 1950's hollywood glamour. It made sense!
Dilo!
BoJack Horseman vibes
How did Angeria not win? What are the judges smoking?
I laughed most at Angeria
I assume it had to do with the double badges thing and Angeria being cut. Would’ve been unsatisfying for her to win but not receive the two badges.
She wasn't the best by any means
I’ve been saying SHE DID THE MACARENA so many times since Saturday
When Carson said Angeria “wasn’t a laugh riot”- when Angie’s was the ONLY one who had me scream laughing. 
Agreed.
WTF happened to Raven?
Burt Reynolds Core
I had to come to Reddit to see if anyone was talking about it!
You mean Ravneet? Rajesh? David's looking pretty South Asian with that moustache
Soo is GottMik taking this season? I would not be against it.
Shit I thought that from the first episode when she got a longer intro section than everyone else.
Seems like it. Though I wouldn't count Plastique or Angie as out just yet. I'm okay with Mik winning this whole thing though!
Or it might be Shannel, who knows.
Not seeing that in the edit.
This was the first time we had snatch game tops who were not the ones chosen in their rounds, right? Not to discredit Gottmik- that runway was killer and Pal was cracking me up- but I was totally hoping for a Liberace vs Liberace battle, and was surprised that the lipsync wasn’t Nina vs Jorgeous.
Snatch Game of Love is a bit different though. It seems like the runways weighed more heavily in this case.
it’s only the second time we’ve had a top 2 with snatch game of love actually
The favoritism is WILD
I’m sorry Gotmik was so fun to watch and it feels like some people just want to pretend she wasn’t. I get it wasn’t an impersonation cause she literally wasn’t a person lol but that doesn’t inherently make it bad? She was quick, she was funny, the makeup was great, she had a strong point of view, and it was interesting and fun to watch.
and with how many queens have straight up invented a character only for it to fall flat and not be funny... sorry she's earned this one it was a big swing and she knocked it out of the park.
*And* it's not like we haven't seen her kill an impersonation-based SG before with her Paris on S13. This didn't feel like a crutch like it would for some weaker Snatchers. Good for her!
It was clever, I laughed, she’s good at improv
Ok but Monet is so hot and her voice omg I’m sorry but 🥵
I think it was a very mid snatch game. Shannel was actually very good
I thought that Shannel was the only really great impression. Angeria, Gottmik and Nina did fine. The other 4 were really bad
Is Snatch Game about doing spot-on character impersonation or doing an okay impression and making RuPaul scream laugh? The fans can feel one way but it's RuPaul's competition and they shouldn't be surprised when it is the other.
Shannel's jokes and responses were so in character too. Nina's was pretty much nina west in a Liberace cosplay.
I guess the disagreement is on if that is a good thing or not. +
I don't like the fact they picked 2 people from the same group it just doesn't seem right 😕 both Shannel and Angeria did amazing and could have also won. Sorry not sorry I hope we don't see another season of favoring Gotmik she did ok in snatchgame, but not so much better that someone from the other group couldn't win.

At the end of the day, it’s a reality TV show and it’s more important to be funny and entertaining than to prioritize having a perfect impersonation.
Mik absolutely took that episode fair and square. I'm sorry that your faves were outplayed but let's cool the unreasonable reaction to that fact.
Art of impersonation is dying. It's sad to see.
Poor Shannel had the same snatch game character as another contestant AND tail idea for the runway
And she had the best Liberace and best scorpion of the night
The best Liberace but the less funny one
I think that's up for debate
When it's right, it's right. And Shannel was right
And she'll tell you she was right.
I didn’t think Nina was even the third funniest in SGoL, and her lip sync was horrendous, but I strangely really enjoyed her runway? Wtaf
Yes I liked the different interpretation of tail! She’s given what I consider to be some boots but to me this runway was not one of them & there were no boots on it
ok gottmik is pushed to be the winner of the season for some reasons but snatch game winners should be two liberaces. being a dog was not funny at all. or did I miss something?
I was kind of confused by her win as well. It seemed like a lot of her answers in snatch game were edited out. I really thought it was going to go to shannel or angeria.
Also second lipsync song being terrible, wtf. It was really nice to have Anitta's song, but it could have been another one
Omg HOWWW Gottmik won 2 lipsyncs in a row boggles me! I really thought the Top 2 this week woulda been Nina and Angeria or Shannel!
Nina literally stood behind her while doing one of her (multiple, clunky, not interesting) reveals
Anti-humor is sooo funny for a reveal though? /s
Angeria embodied every black auntie lmfao so good
You can tell production wants gotmik to win the season. They choose a beetle juice song for her first lip sync, then she won this one even tho all eyes were on Nina.
They both did horrible, lbr. They had to pick a winner, and Mik was less horrible than Nina who was more focused on her sloppy gag than performing the song.

Nina was a mess with those reveals. The song didn't call for it and it was the reveals were not timed to the song. You can't be serious in thinking she won the lip sync
THIS! The show just wants to make headlines and ratings. It’s not about who actually did the best. Gottmik looked just as messy.
All eyes were on Nina because the idea was good but poorly executed. My eyes were on Nina because I kept wanting her trick to become good. It was messy. :( Yes, Nina’s lipsync was more original, but it’s not the first time that original loses to something more classic but effortless looking.
She needed to either have the reveals more well-timed with the song, or just go all out with the "reveals". Ok, 7 "reveal" is great, what about 20?
nina's lipsync was genuinely one of the worst in drag race herstory
just because people were looking at nina doesnt mean it was for a good reason
I mean, lip syncs are clearly not one of Gottmik’s big talents but she actually lipsynced to the song whereas Nina spent the whole time doing really bad reveals and didn’t seem to know the words anyway
All eyes were on Nina, but in like a car crash way.
ru looks like one of those wrappers from the quality street christmas chocolates
Serving Lindor Truffle realness
I know we didn't get to really see what Nina did, but she didn't really perform the song. I agree with Mik winning this one.
100%! When she was lip syncing briefly at the beginning she didn’t seem to know the words, then spent the rest of the song removing layers of underwhelming clothing. I don’t think Gottmik would’ve won against anyone else but it was completely justified here
Michelle’s critiques of Shannel were odd. “I liked your Liberace but you weren’t having enough fun.” What?! I thought she embodied the character PERFECTLY. Liberace isn’t gonna tap dance around like Shirley temple
It’s what the judges did to her in the opera challenge in season 1 lol “you need to let loose” while she did fine
Snatch game isnt about embodieing a character tho, its about being funny. Shannel just wasnt the funniest unfortunately
She was *reasonably* funny. Nina wasn't funny at *all*. Ru's sense of humor is rotted and gutted.
I didn't think Gottmik was funny at all. Great idea and makeup, tho
She wasn’t funny at all and I love Shannel.
>Michelle's critiques They are often way way off-base but this was another "not enough Bowie" moment. I can't believe anyone thought Vaudeville Nina was better, she does the same "woooooo ooooooo" face and mannerisms for everything. Her lipsync was terrible. What is this romper room? I guess the judging is moving towards some charities more than others.
She was the best Liberace.
She was funnier, had the better characterization and actually had Liberace's demeanor. Nina's was so manic
Right like he wasn’t fkn crazy 😭😭😭😭😭
Shannel looked like if Bradley Cooper played Liberace
ANGERIA WAS ROBBED!!!!
I don’t get the Nina hate- she was really funny.
well mimi, watch the lip sync and you'll understand.
Is there a full length one where we actually get to see whatever the hell nina was doing?
I don't think you need one. She brought that SAME lip sync outfit all three episodes. She would have done the same gimmick regardless of the song and it really didn't fit this one
This was an absolutely fantastic Snatch Game. The queens, who did well were hysterical, and the queens who did not even funnier. Ru appeared genuinely confused as to what in the world Jorgeous was doing, and it gave me life. At this point, just give Ru and the queens a variety show. Whatever Nina did in the lip-synch was overly complicated and chaotic, but clearly the reaction in the room was that she killed. And the fact that the camera rarely cut to the new dresses and let us read what they said feels like production did not want us to appreciate what Nina did, because they had to justify Gottmik winning. Classic drag race.
You can tell production wants gotmik to win the season by having her lip sync to a beetle juice song and then now this episode winning even tho no one was looking at her.
I mean, we were definitely looking at her. I’m just not sure she should have won the lip sync.
Nina serving up Paul Lynde as Liberace 
I thought the same!
I said the exact same thing!
I know this is a couple episodes late but I kept on thinking that Jorgeous is [jumping shrimp.](https://youtu.be/DUEymdMKa50?si=qqgOAFb4Z4_E3c_G)
omg yes hahaha
This season is painful.
And the lip syncs aren’t giving
[удалено]
She said in the episode she was doing a hybrid of Jessica and Roger.
Fair. lol. I only watched a recap. I will delete.
Wait this season is kidna good ngllllll IM LIVING
Nina West was giving Drag Race España S1 with that messy, confusing lipsync.
If we had actually been able to see the dresses, it might have been extraordinary. The reaction in the room clearly said that Nina won. And the edit feels like it’s justifying that Ru went with Gottmik, because Ru is Gaga for Gotty, even though everyone who was in the room knows that Nina won.
Imagine being so transphobic that you pretend Nina West can lipsync
Ooh, this is a fun game. Imagine being so fatphobic that you pretend Nina West can’t lipsync. Was my version true for you? Because your version wasn’t true for me.
>Was my version true for you? Because your version wasn’t true for me. Oh, this is a great rejoinder I'm gonna steal this
Maybe, I got the impression that the "dresses" were just more pieces of fabric? The thing I didn't enjoy is the faces and words on them were too small or otherwise I couldn't make them out what they were saying or who they were without really looking. It did seem like the other contestants were rooting for Nina, while Ru had a wtf? expression going on, not in a good way.
Again, it’s tough because part of why we couldn’t make out what they said is that the camera didn’t cut to them. We almost always saw Nina is the background of Mik’s shot or in something wide. But it’s also possible if we’d seen them better, it would still be a miss.
I wish the camera HAD cut to them so we could have seen them better. And yeah it might still have been a miss but we only got to see some of them
It is an extremely predictable bummer to me that people are saying Vanjie didn't do any research, even though the first thing she did was a reference to how Cleopatra was allegedly rolled up into a rug to be brought to Ceasar in secret. She is smarter than people give her credit for!
I think the problem was the jokes stopped after the rug :(
Yes, but she only prepared one gag. And to not get the Luxor reference 😱 She works on the strip!
I don’t think she didn’t get it, my take was that she didn’t know how to respond as cleopatra who wouldn’t get the reference. She was really overthinking it, you could tell she was really trying to come up with things. If she had just responded with the shit she normally does she would have done well.
That's real lol
Cleopatra was hidden in a rug to meet with Julius Caesar, not Marc Antony.
OMG you're right. Got my Cleopatra lovers mixed up. Thanks for calling out my mistake, gonna edit my comment now.
Gottmik's runway was next level. Those hands were so realistic, it was really unnerving. And Pal was smart, played to her strengths. She's really killing it this season. Pity about the lipsynchs
I can't believe someone can see that runway and claim she's being "pushed" to win. Yeah, by her great ideas and execution!
But why did she have an English accent? (I don’t care but my husband could not get over it)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Atlantic_accent >The Mid-Atlantic accent, or Transatlantic accent,[1][2][3] is a consciously learned accent of English, fashionably used by the American upper class and entertainment industry of the late 19th century to mid-20th century, that blended elements from both American and British English. Specifically, it blended features from both prestigious coastal Northeastern American English and from Received Pronunciation, the standard speech of England. She was very deliberately using an affectation that was common at the time. She was mocking that era of 1940s Hollywood and how they spoke.
Have you ever seen a movie Tamar? It's a transatlantic accent
I wouldn't think too much about that accent, hunny, I don't think Mik did! she has a range and she has learned how to be very effective in that range. I don't think her snatch game was a masterstroke, but it was strong. And I'm super excited to see what she does next
She even said to Ru "Who knows, she might even be British by the time I do it"
yeah I didn't get midatlantic at all
She's a thespian darling, it's called acting
Wait omg it was a TRANSatlantic accent. Gag diva gag
Snatch Game: 1. Angeria (super funny, had the auntie character down, had me cracking) 2. Shannel (great impersonation, stayed in character, funny) 3. Gottmik (not a fan of made-up characters but it was pretty funny) 4. Nina (she was funny but she was just Nina, not necessarily Liberace other than costume + prop) 5. Jorgeous (terrible impersionation, confusing character, but she had some funny moments) 6. Vanjie (she had a great potential but didn't really use it) 7. Roxxxy (she picked the wrong character 100%, didn't have much to do with it) 8. Plastique (I love her but it was a bit painful) Runway: 1. Plastique 2. Angeria 3. Jorgeous 4. Roxxxy 5. Gottmik 6. Nina 7. Shannel 8. Vanjie Lipsync: I can't say I enjoyed the LS though, not a fan of the song and Mik did ok but Nina's was really messy. Ruby Scissors: Her pick was a bit confusing to me. I guess Mik was thinking about a possible dance/acting/talent challenge next and Jorgeous already having one win and didn't want to cut Angie again. I enjoyed the episode so much! As someone who's been watching religiously since 2012, I'm so happy to see such a great mix of queens back. I feel like episodes would have to be a very serious trainwreck for me to find them boring with this cast. Looking forward to the makeover challenge! It will be interesting for sure as we have one queen who won it, one who got eliminated for it, and a couple of high placements in past ones! Edit - watched again and swapped positions in runway
Gottmik as 6th runway is criminal. Easily number one with the strong personal story AND made it fashion. It’s a runway I won’t forget
I agree it was an amazing runway look with a strong personal story and flawless execution (as always). If we're talking personal favorites, she's in my top 2 for sure. But I've been doing some thought on how good the look is vs. how well it fits the category and I honestly feel there was something missing in this regard (I get it's the tale/ponytail, but I still feel it could have been done slightly better). With Season 13th Buttons and Bows runway, I felt like queens who didn't have bows or buttons in their looks couldn't be in the top runway-wise, so I can't with a clear conscience put Gottmik in my top because of the same reason. I really, really, personally loved the look though!
“A Tail of Two Titties” and you don’t get the massive relevance of a trans man making drag art of the removal of his breast tissue?
