Excellent start to the season! My tops of the week were Sederginne and Janey Jacké, so I was thrilled they were in the top. HOW did Sederginne get that dress there?? Do they have different rules in Holland about what you can bring? Either way, wow.
Loved Fred as the host. He’s like a more outspoken, raucous Ru. And the judges gave -gasp- actual critiques. How refreshing.
I agree with the point that Roem wasn’t so bad they should have left, but it’s true that the other queens simply outshined her.
Can we also talk about how damn cute some of these boys are out of drag? Yum.
I think based on the lipsync, the wrong Queen was sent home but I’m not too mad about it since they’re all so good. I think Sederginne and Chelsea Boy are maybe my two favorites but I’m sure that will change.
It was a messy lip-sync that I really need to watch it again. Same with first episode first time read the subtitles and second time look more at the detail of costumes and such.
First two episodes I thought Sederginne was going to each challenge.
Overall they are all pretty much top notched queens.

>Also I really don't think the show needs the pre recorded stuff from Ru. I think Fred can hold his own.
Agreed, Thailand did it a lot better. Ru only appears as her music and then like ONE video message at the end of Season 2.Plus it's just the best iteration of the show in all regards...
I've gotten into both in the past week! I got over the subtitle thing and I'm into both of them. I'm still confused as to who is who and all that, but very entertaining. I love Fred! And I like the 2 judge format on Thailand. If you watch the "Follow Her" series on Wow+ they take the judges to LA Drag Con and I'm not convinced Ru knows who they are, ha.
I’m becoming a bit obsessed with Ma’ma Queen and I’m thrilled she won this week. I agree with everyone that Madness needs to go. The beard thing (for me) just doesn’t work, I never for one second think that’s a drag queen, just a dude in a costume.
I’m still loving everything about this season, though.
I am hoping one of these weeks Sederginne will have a win. This is the first week the subtitles didn't distract me too much. I do think quite a few things were not translated well though.

It’s so crazy that Sederginne is only like 26 years old but she reads like she’s 50. I don’t even mean that as a read it’s just she comes off as so seasoned and old school.
in the first episode when they showed her age I thought it was a mistake when it said 26. Even out of drag she reads older. And that also isn't a read. :)

I thought the Queen of Hearts look on the first episode was excellent but agree that her looks the last two episodes haven't been great. I've seen some bearded queens in my life that are incredible, but she's not quite up to that level. That being said, I don't think she deserved to be in the bottom 2 this week since she was better in the challenge than the other 2 and her look was no worse than theirs (Megan's look was HORRIBLE).
Sad to see her go but based on everything tonight, she deserved it. I had hoped Chelsea Boy could take the win (maybe it’s because he did the only character I knew) but they do love Miss Envy!
Envy Peru is giving me Rita Baga 2.0 vibes. She's fine but I don't think she's been deserving of all these wins. I believe that her breakdown during the naked mini challenge played into it. Her character in the Snatch Game seemed pretty simple. Just do a weird thing with your tongue.
ChelseaBoy had to speak English the whole time (with an accent) and he had everyone rolling. I liked the different take on the split personalities (which then changed to half man/half woman). I don't think the subtitles were completely accurate because I could have sworn I heard him say Mystique and totally got an X-Men vibe in what he was doing.
Side note: I liked the results of this naked photo challenge MUCH more than season 3.

Shocked that Sederginne went home. She did have a bad week, but had been competing at such a high level otherwise.
The Snatch Game was truly baffling due to the cultural differences. It was like watching a dream, it was so strange. But good for ChelseaBoy for pulling that off!
"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."
I thought the tall one s- Mamma Queen? - should have gone home, but I think her explanation of her outfit really saved her. I was sad to see Sederginne go home, but I'll admit Abby wasn't awful.
Sad to see Chelsea Boy home, I really liked her. And I get bored with any show when the same person wins every single week. It’s not Envy’s fault but that only makes me hope she loses the whole thing.
Sounds like she’s the front runner. I’m not quite sure I see what they see - although I did like this challenge. But curious what their final challenge will be!
While I really enjoyed the makeovers of this challenge I thought it was extremely unfair. How can someone who is given a cis-man be expected to produce the same results as another person given a cis-man? I think Abby was given an especially generous gift having her younger brother that already resembled her. Ma'Ma Queen's dad was so nice to watch and hear all of the really complimentary and open-minded things he was saying.
It was sad to see ChelseaBoy leave but the judges were right in expecting a little more than a bad Mars Attacks imitation. Janey had a great resemblance to her mom (obviously) but the drag was a let down.
