They also figured out the entire cast of season 9 when it was filming.

I was not fussed on Valentina so this week amused me greatly. She thought she'd sail through because the judges liked her, she said as much herself. Then to not even learn the lip sync song? Alexis didn't belong in the bottom two like a lot of people online are trying to say. She wasn't as strong as Peppermint and Trinity but she definitely was not bad and at least she came in prepared. The fact she was there taking it seriously went in her favour. I'm not much of a fan of her but credit where credit is due. Nina and Valentina were the correct bottom two and the elimination was fair.

So happy you're able to be objective unlike so many other fans. It is really annoying how people are letting their own personal opinion of Alexis cloud their judgement of her. I saw someone say that Farrah beat her in the lip sync and she should have gone home. Like, girl....
She is getting a lot of heat online because "she constantly wants attention" etc. But so, in my opinion, does Trinity and Valentina and they're getting nothing but love?
Just let them be drag queens and enjoy the show and stop sending queens death threats. "What part of that do you not understand?" - RuPaul

Ok I take back the Reddit comment. I didn't realise it would trigger people.

I have read T on Reddit about these Season that was clearly false such as Farrah being Top 4. Also last Season Acid Betty was supposed to call out Ru on the main stage for not putting herself in drag yet judging them. And wasn't the All Stars 2 T spilled by Alaska's ex?

I'll give Reddit props for getting the cast list correct every year. But apart from this episode I've yet to read spoilers that were true.

Sorry guys it's just my opinion.

I can't agree with that. In Untucked she clearly stated that she felt she would be in the bottom two. Which makes her decision to not practice the effing song all the more perplexing and frustrating.

I disagree. I had no judgement of Alexis, aside from thinking she was a nicer, more talented version of Roxxxy Andrews. Then Alexis decided to let her personality 'shine' through. She is unpleasant. She deflects criticism, she has an inflated vision of her own talent, she undermines her team-mates, she claims credit where none is due, and she consistently attempts to lay the blame for her failures on others.

Her Liza was as generic as they get, and not even a very good version. If you are going to do a hackneyed character then make sure you do it damn well. She didn't IMHO. Her last two run way looks were bad misses. I watched the lipsync with Farrah, (I've watched every single lipsync in the show, including all-stars, at least twice and most of them many more times) I thought they were fairly matched. Maybe Alexis was the better, but only marginally and certainly not deserving of a 'girl please' to those who thought Farrah pipped her.

It seems to be much later this year. There's still 6 queens.

From Wiki I like the sound of next weeks episode.

Banbha32

The Final is on June 9th!!! Too soon for it all to end ... this show is my life

gizmo81

I know its addictive isn't it.

June 9th seems soon compared to the number of queens.

6 queens left, 2 weeks until the finale, so 2 queens will be gone by then and we will know the Top 4. Whether we have a Top 4 at the reunion or there will be a double elimination this/next week... who knows?

Will be watching last nights episode later today.

Casting votes for Miss Congeniality are now open

I voted Sasha because she is so lovely but id love Trinity to actually win but im sure it will be Shea

Rick_

Trinity and Shea can't win MC, because they'll be Top 3. :P

I wonder if Cynthia could win it twice in a row? Or could perhaps Jaymes take it?

billion dollar baby

Valentina.

Obviously

Really!!!! I didnt know that i thought anyone could win it even the winner in theory!? Oh! I just imagined the nicest person deserves it and gets it. Wow.

Reiketsu

If we were going for the one that's actually the most congenial, that's difficult. Probably Jaymes or Farrah. But Valentina will take it, it's a consolation prize most seasons.

gizmo81

I voted for Jaymes, glad to see others bring up her name.

tea but I voted for Farrah (even tho apparently only U.S. voters are counted).

I don't think the winner can even get it in theory tho. I was reading somewhere that during season 4, Sharon had gotten the most votes for MC. but obvi she won so she didn't get MC. It went to the second place queen (Latrice). So even tho people could vote for Sharon, their votes were discarded.

EDIT: oop sorry sis I read your post wrong asdghjjk; disregard everything I said

As Cece Peniston once said FINALLY!

Rick_

A trusted source from Reddit has said that AS3 is "brewing" and we might see it quite soon. Quite a few queens who are favourites for the show have clear schedules in August and September, the same filming dates as AS2 last year. So, could we be getting AS3 already? I think its a bit soon but if Ru isn't interested in doing the show for much longer or being in drag so much then it seems like the right idea. Who do you think should be on it?

Personally, I'm still hoping they do a season or even a mini season of all the first eliminated queens and give them all a second chance.

AS3 is definitely happening. Sure Michelle asked Valentina in what you packing, if she would on AS3. I don't think it is too soon. AS2 was basically season 5 rehashed.

Although I would prefer a remake of S2 with all the drama between Morgan, Tyra, Tati and Raven

So 2moro is the final elimination challenge leaving us with the top 3 and the Final is being recorded live 2moro according to Wiki.

My Top three predictions: Trinity, Sasha, Shea.

I think my winner would be Shea, but I'd say Ru Paul will go Sasha.

Trinity was a favourite at the start but she's not really progressed.

Whatcha all think?

I would be shocked for Sasha to win at this stage I think it is very clear that she will be third place. Ru hasn't praised her enough throughout the competition or given her enough wins for her to be a contender I don't think. Shea is the clear winner in terms of performance with 2 solo wins, 2 shared wins, a good few top 3 in the challenges and only lip syncing once. Trinity has 3 solo wins and a few low and 1 lip sync so they're pretty evenly matched it might end up coming down to the fan vote between those two (I feel Sasha would win a fan vote but then again so did Pearl/Adore/Kim Chi but again their performances didn't warrant the crown)

billion dollar baby

Shea will win.

The edit is so obvious. Win after win even when I'd argue she wasn't the strongest. I don't think she should have won last weeks challenge. To me that was Sasha.

Also the only time she lip synced it wasn't really because she did anything wrong. Her partner didn't look as polished as her and that was the only thing they could say. Also they were totally setting up that Nina vs Shea lip sync for several weeks.

Realistically I can't see anyone other than Shea winning and I'd be fine with that. Although secretly I would love Trinity to take it

miezekatze

I agree that Shea will probably win. I prefer her to Trinity, but my fave would be Sasha. Sasha came close to winning some of the last few challenges but always lost out and came second, doesn't look like Ru is that keen on her.

jobbridge4life

Delighted Alexis went.

Such a sub-par queen and with a bad attitude to boot! (pun intended)

It all seems to be ending so fast. Maybe I'm just that old that everything is a blur to me now.

Shea for the win. The right attitude, the right style (for the most part) and the most interesting.

I'd also be happy to see Trinity win. Be nice for a classic queen to win for once.

I wouldn't be unhappy for Sasha to win but I don't really get the love that many have for her. Her performances have been timid at best, her style also seems limited.

Reiketsu

Major spoilers from the finale taping, You've been warned!

At the finale filming last night they had further lip syncs to determine would who would win. Peppermint vs Trinity and Sasha vs Shea. Our top two is Peppermint and Sasha. GAGGED. I love this twist. It's how most reality shows work as well and shakes up the format. I'm delighted to go in to the end and not have an obvious winner. The challenge wins are subjective. There's always debate about who was robbed of a win etc so having the most challenge wins doesn't necessarily make you the best. They all worked their way to the top four and they all got a final chance to prove themselves. Miss Congeniality is being filmed today at the reunion.

gizmo81

Is there an episode 2moro? Like a review of the season?
