Yeah, Betty seemed rather casual about the whole thing, she didn't seem prepared for the eventuality of having to lip-synch. Just imagine if she'd faked labor and pulled a baby Madonna doll out of that huge preggers belly -- things would have ended very differently.

And Kimmy Jung Un was a stroke of genius.

I'm watching Untucked now and am more than a little shocked that neither Betty or Naomi knew the song "Causing a Commotion" before learning it for this challenge.

One of the rumors that's been circulating is that some queen said something off-stage (that everyone else has been saying all over) and it was picked up by a hot mic. It was something to the affect of, "Ru has a whole team getting her into drag every time and then expects us to do it all ourselves." That has come from several different places. Naysha confirmed that SOMETHING was said on a hot mic and the next week that contestant was sent home. If there was such a comment made and it insulted Ru, I don't think it would make it to air. I really wonder if Acid made some sort of comment, was overheard, KNEW that it had been heard and knew the chance of her staying was super slim.

ETA: I get Naomi not knowing Causing a Commotion. She's only 21. Acid is supposedly a big Madonna fan.

Naomi is super young and super gorgeous, but hers is just not my favorite style of drag. I have no doubt that she will do well and may have out performed Acid. She just grew on me like a fungus.

Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

I had thought Acid Betty would be going a lot further, and I think she should have. The competition just got a lot weaker. She had much more to offer week after week than Robbie, Derrick, and Naomi. With a panel of judges that never stops harping on about originality and finding your own voice, I don't understand how Robbie Turner is getting away with being a second-rate Jinkx Monsoon.

With the group that's left, I'm thinking Chi Chi, Thorgy, and Bob will be rounding out the top three. And with the way things have been going, it looks like Bob will easily walk away with the crown. I wouldn't be surprised if he steamrolled over the rest of the girls in these last few weeks like Bianca in her season.

Bob is the obvious winner right now but I would love to see Chi Chi take the crown. She has star quality.

Basing it off the lip-synch, Betty should have gone home. She was boring. And the one thing drag isn't is boring. I don't know. I mean, Betty never backed up her statements. To me she wasn't very good or interesting. She said people criticized her for being just "looks," but that's what she was? I mean, if I'm going to see your show at your club, I want you to give me some personality. I've seen Bob live, and he SLAYS it. I'm Bob all the way, and I hope the finale 2 are Thorgy and him.

I know who ONE of the bottom two is, but I have no idea if that person goes home or stays. I DO think we're going to see one of our NY girls (Thorgy or Bob) in the bottom this week based on the episode preview.

I am fearful of that, too. I am still team NYC. I can't wait to see what they bring in the post season.

About an hour ago, while trying to get my stubborn dog to walk, Miss Fame approached us (obviously out of drag) and played with him and got him to walk for me. I was like "Miss Fame!" lol

Kad, I wanted to ask where the chicken was. But seriously, he was so so nice. Definitely made me even more of a fan than I was before.

Happy Monday, children!

Any thoughts, guesses, wishes? There are no real spoilers this week, but there is some clue-ish stuff brewing. Posted below:

SPOILERISH STUFF:

The rumor swirling is that it is cello-playing hippie's week to sashay. In the preview, she calls out two other queens, saying, "it doesn't matter the order, but they are the next two to go." That's never good for the one saying it. She also hosts a viewing party and had said she might not host this week. Then, last night, she posted, "Oh, why not?!" and a link to the info for the viewing party. That was either ominous or intended to make people read into it. lol Either way, it looks like Derrick is at least safe this week. The runway looks like a greyscale iconic Hollywood look.
