Miss Congen. will depend on how close/shafted the top 4 was. If you think of BenDela for example, the uproar caused by her elimination was insane. Bianca herself said that she didn't deserve Miss. C., and it was just as a result of the elimination. (I happen to be the biggest BenDeLa fan, but Bianca had a point).

For me it's between Thorgy and 4th place. CuCu at a stretch, but she might have been eliminated too early for fans to be too worked up on her. I don't know?

Overal loved the episode. Not a fan of Derrick's behaviour, the man screams insecurity! Couldn't get over Kim's talent, Naomi's growth. Even Chi Chi's look was amazing. Whoever is top 3, whoever wins, I'll be happy.

That's interesting re BDR's comment that Dela didn't deserve to win Miss Congeniality. My pick for that season would actually have been Joselyn Foxx who I think stood up for what she believed in (defending Milk) and was a total sweetheart. I basically loved her. But what was the general opinion on this? Who am I forgetting about, or was Joselyn the robbed Miss Congeniality of season 6?

Ash885 · 27-04-2016 01:07AM

Joselyn was the one robbed in my opinion too! She was the one Bianca said should have deserved it because she was a fan favourite and favourite amoungst the queens. Ever since calling Gia out for being out of bounds with the mean comments. It would be nice for an earlier queen to get it simply to break the 5th/4th automatically winning. Maybe even Betty? Sems to be an odd fascniation with her post-eviction that was no where to be seen when she was on the show! ^^'

They need to add a Fan Favourite award and let the queens vote for Miss Congeniality themselves.

Tony91 · 27-04-2016 07:22PM

Really not sure on who to call as the winner this season. Bob was the front runner all along for me but any of them are quite deserving of it now I think at this stage. They've all grown in different ways throughout the show.

I'd be happy to see Thorgy getting Miss Congen. Chi Chi killed it in their lip sync but I really didn't want to see Thorgy go.

Reiketsu · 27-04-2016 08:18PM

I warmed to the eliminated queen in the past couple of episodes. But that make up on the runway...well, she took instructions and tried to change it up so kudos for that I guess. I'm not as crazy about the lip sync as others seem to be if I'm honest but I had no doubt who was going to stay. I agree whoever finishes fourth will probably get Miss Congeniality. I'd like Thorgy to get it as she deserved to win something but she's not very congenial haha, her post Drag Race interviews have caused an uproar. I don't want anyone to go home next week

The Ru-Up for Episode 7

mansize · 02-05-2016 06:39AM

Hi! I'm #TeamNaomi all the way have been since week 1- Bob will win don't get me wrong, but I adore Naomi and delighted to see the back of the very one dimensional Derrek

Kim Chi has great make up and Chi Chi has come on leaps and bounds so I don't know who else I want in top 3.

It's been an OK season, no season 6.
Snatch Game was dreadful

I've been meaning to as you Keiketsu - which of Thorgy's post-sashay interviews have caused uproar and why?

Rick_ · 03-05-2016 09:03PM

OMG, we have a Top 3........!!!!!!!

Finale in 2 weeks.....

Rick_ · 04-05-2016 03:37PM

As it stands with the Top 3 for voting online:-

Kim Chi has 4.6k likes and 3.6k retweets
Bob TDQ has 2.7k likes and 2.0k retweets
Naomi has 2.2k likes and 1.6k retweets

I know who I want to win and who will actually win...

The queen in 2nd place deserves to win more than the queen in 1st I think.

Hunchback · 04-05-2016 05:47PM

Oh My God yes - this would just be wrong wrong wrong!

Oh the humanity of it all!!!!!!!

billion dollar baby · 04-05-2016 09:28PM

I feel it's been obvious from day one who will win. She's not my favourite queen out of the 3 left but I can't deny she is the strongest.

My personal choice would be the one with the fewest votes funnily enough.

04-05-2016 09:37PM

It's Wednesday so I presume I'm okay to type without spoilers.

For such a strong season I can't help but feel that the top 3 is somewhat underwhelming. Not that I don't love every queen there and they are all so talented but at this stage I actually can't see any competition for Bob. I mean Naomi only really made an impact after she was in the bottom which was half way through the season. And Kim Chi may have served some legendary looks but at the same time the only reason she made it so far was that Ru never made her lip sync (and it would have been justified for her to do so a few times).
Just think that there is a clear winner in the Top 3 and things would be more exciting if Bob was up against Thorgy/Acid who were a little more out there and competitive.

Was devastated for Chi Chi not making the top 3 too but she was the clear out since she was in the bottom twice (And Naomi killed the video)

Completely agree

mansize · 05-05-2016 03:27AM

I felt so emotional for Chichi when she kept mentioning the money- you know that would impact her life far more.

I hope she exploits her fleeting fame to make as much as possible

mansize · 05-05-2016 03:31AM

I didn't get the whole Thorgy/Acid thing- they weren't as strong as they thought they were. They were ok at everything not stand out the way Naomi/Kim are re aesthetics/Avant Garde

Bob was always winning this like Bianca in S6- that was a strong season also.

At least we don't have a Courtney Act in the Top 3

They were quite strong at everything? They had a good few "high" placements before they slipped into the bottom. Just because they had no challenge wins does not automatically mean they were "ok"

Rick_ · 05-05-2016 09:56AM

But Bob and Bianca are rather similar, and one thing we always get in the winners is a completely different type, no two winners are alike. I dunno if Bob is the guaranteed winner of this, I have a sneaking suspicion Kim has a very good chance. She certainly has the fan vote.

Goodshape · 05-05-2016 10:33AM

Happy with the top 3.

My money's on Kim for the crown, but I wouldn't be upset if Bob won either. I agree with pad e though, we've had winners like Bob before and I think that works in Kim's favour this year.

That's certainly not the only factor though; Kim would be well deserving in her own right. Wonderfully theatrical and a captivating presence on stage.

billion dollar baby · 05-05-2016 11:46AM

It is interesting to me to see how much stock Ru and World of Wonder put in fan opinions. I totally get making the show interactive and wanting to please everybody but I don't agree with fans being able to influence who wins the show. That's what Miss Congeniality is for.

Had it not been for the vocal social media backlash last year Ginger would have won the crown. It would be a shame to see it happen again this year with Bob. I like Kim Chi and I understand that she is the most lovable to one, but come on, she is not the winner. My personal favourite would be Naomi Smalls as she really has, to use the cliche, been on such a journey and has showed so much progression but again she is not the winner.

Bob is the only real contender here. Although I have found her slightly over confident and irritating at times she is the strongest one there. She represents C.U.N.T and has done since the second she stepped through the workroom door and if she doesn't win then I would be gagged.

Rick_ · 05-05-2016 11:54AM

I'd say Bob is more CNT than anything. She isn't that unique, she's a comedy queen (we've seen plenty before) who can make people laugh but her make-up isn't that great and her outfits can sometimes be rather meh.

The more I think about it, there's a chance there could be a double crowning, and if that happened, I would be GAGGED. They were gonna do it for S6 but chickened out, but could they do it for S8?

Totally agree with this statement. Overall the season was a massive recovery from where it went in S7, but there was definitely a missed opportunity to make it the best series ever.

I mean, a top four with team NYC and Kim? THAT would've been the strongest top 4 in Drag Race herstory!

(Not to demean Chi Chi - Love that betch!)

pad e - we have had plenty of comedy queens before, that we can agree on. But I am at a loss here trying to work out how Bob The Drag Queen is not unique?

Which queens have we seen that detract from Bob's uniqueness - that make you feel ' oh, we've been here before?' Just asking, because I feel like with Bob, we are seeing a truly unique individual.

05-05-2016 01:30PM

I mean if we're gonna say that Bob is a comedy queen and so is Bianca therefore they'd be identical winners then couldn't we say that Raja had high concept looks so Kim can't win and Violet was 'a model' so Naomi can't win?

It's easy to pigeon-hole these girls after 8 seasons but none of them are exactly alike.

Sorry for the late reply, been working flat out!

It was this interview here - http://m.chron.com/entertainment/tv/article/Thorgy-Thor-7287541.php

She said she wasn't impressed with Chi Chi and Derrick's drag. Also said Bob annoyed the hell out of her but this is a well established fact lol. In another interview she saud both Bob and Kim Chi got special treatment (where is the lie haha). Bob was at her viewing party on Monday so there's obviously no hard feelings so I don't see why Reddit and tumblr had to get their knickers in a twist. I laughed...mostly because I agree with what she said and I'm not looking for a reason to hate her which is currently the fashionable thing. She even said in another interview that she throws randon names out there to stir the pot....it's working!

As far as our top three goes, I can't decide who I want to win! But I have a feeling Naomi might sneak up and take it. Fan votes only count for so much when its all said and done.

mansize · 06-05-2016 08:24AM

I've really liked Naomi from Day 1. It's like she just gets on with her work without the drama and bitchiness but when Derrick came for her she put that low rent celebrity impersonator (I don't see her as a drag queen) back in her cheap box- but didn't burn bridges and offered to help her.

She does seem so sweet and has a heart of gold! And those legs!!!

She won't win, but I'll always be #TeamNaomi

Reiketsu · 13-05-2016 06:53AM

Finale on Monday! Has anybody seen the any of the looks from it? Acid Betty slaying the children as always.

Rick_ · 13-05-2016 09:46AM

Quite a few Periscopes from the final and plenty of pics showing the queens finale looks.
