I, too can’t stand Gottmik’s voice. To me, it’s the voice of someone who wants to sound like a stereotype of a twink with that whiney nasal sound and it drives me up the wall hearing it from anyone."

Exactly.  It is a fake exaggerated voice.  If you listen closely during her confessionals,  the voice is completely different.

Sorry....but just like you, when someone makes an unprovoked swing, you swing back.  I am no different.

Huh? I was DEFENDING you, dude. Jesus.

My apologies.  It didn't appear that way, when I read it.

But the confessionals are the real person! Do maybe the voice is just her brand? I don’t know. I like her. Olivia and Utica come off as super fake to me. It should have been Utica and Olivia in the bottom. Say what you want about Tina, but just on the challenge alone her commercial told a story and made sense. The other two did not. And her runway was good. I’m personally tired of Olivia. It’s very one note with smiles and “oh sucks jeez thanks.” I don’t see her turning it in the finale which I’d love to hear Tina’s verse. She’s a performer and 1000000% won that lip sync.

A big problem with most girls on the show now is that they all come on wanting to brand themselves and not just be who they are. That’s why so many come off as fake or annoying or whatever. Like whoever said Tina only started the red/orange/yellow thing recently and is now only using it on the show as her “brand”. It makes them all come across as inauthentic and hard to get behind.

Tina reached the limit of what she could do on the show. If a seasoned queen like her still couldn't figure out how to give the judges what they wanted, then there was no point in her being there any longer.

And I get that, I do. But just going off this episode it wasn’t her time. Olivia Gotmik and Utica were worse.

And if that’s their reasoning, fine. But none of that was really said? Like have they said in past for her to push herself? I don’t know. It really annoyed me cause Olivia’s commercial was just awful. And she keeps getting these passes - like last week - because people like her smile? Ugh.

While watching, based on their deliberations, I got the message, like CT2NYC, that Tina's time had come.  I believe she won the lipsync also, but it's become apparent, at least to me, that really doesn't matter that much.  They, (Ru)  had already come to the conclusion that Tina didn't have anything more (new) to offer.  So they sashayed her away.  Next week, is a reading/roasting challenge.  If Utica does not do well and is in the bottom 2, no matter how well she does in the lipsync. she will sashay away.

I'd say her zero main challenge wins were an indication that she needed to step it up. Also, her makeup on the runway was not good. Don't get me wrong, I thought Tina was going to win the lip sync, but Utica is far more interesting to watch, and I completely understand why Ru would rather see more from her than from Tina. The fact that I'm not seeing any "Tina was robbed" videos on TikTok tells me that most people didn't want to see more from her, either.

I think with this being episode 11 and there are still 7 queens in the mix I am getting very tired of a few of them. I was waiting for the lip-sync to end in a tie. :)

Watching it again, the accuracy of Utica's lip sync is really impressive (even though she flubbed some lyrics), and there are parts when Tina is just dancing without moving her mouth at all. I think it was a fair decision.

I guess I just question the judging (same with UK season 2: like lawerence did terribly in the finale not dancing etc but still gets it? Huh?)

It just annoys me that you can do awful in the challenge and they’re like “it’s fine” but then Tina does what is required and is in the bottom. It’s a head scratcher but I get what everyone is saying I just agree with her confusion in Untucked. You’re basically saying you don’t like her brand which isn’t what the challenge was about.

I wonder if they’ll do a bring the girls back stunt.

This is reopening in Vegas the last week of August (my scheduled trip). Anybody have any insights on if the cast is changing?

Well Utica is gone and honestly it was her time to leave. Started out interesting, but soon fizzled out. Now I was surprised by Kandy Muse winning the Roast challenge for I thought either Gottmik or Rose would get it; but truth be told this is the first time I actually liked what Kandy offered.

This is going to be interesting next week.

Did anything of interest happen on Untucked when Nina West entered?  I kind of lost interest and didn't come back to the tv after the commercial.  Although I think we saw the real Utica tonight, I still feel kind of sorry for him.  The other queens kind of always dismissed him and it was obvious they excluded him from alot.  I do think Gotmik and Utica won that mini challenge.

This series is in DESPERATE need of new editors. We knew from the first five minutes that Kandy was going to win the challenge - did anyone count how many times she or someone else mentioned her not winning anything yet? It’s interesting to me how my opinion of Uttica has changed in these 4 years this season has been on. At first I really loved her and now I just...don’t get it. Also, how many times did we hear about her lipsync skills last night? Obviously she was going to be in the bottom and go home (performing a song hand picked to favor Symone).

[SouthernCakes]

I loved the episode! Is this the first roast where so many people talked back? I loved them dragging Utica. She clearly doesn’t know how to apply any critiques.

I’m kind of annoyed at how Olivia constantly gets passed for doing subpar work. But I guess Symone was pretty bad this week. But she slayed the lip sync.

I’d much rather have seen what Tina did in a roast but what can you do.

I didn’t think Rose was all that funny to be honest. Kandy was really funny! I’m enjoying her and Gotmik a lot. Symone is still the one to beat though.

That’s a fun group. Where’s it filming? Wonder if we will really get an winners season.

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 3/28/21 at 11:01pm

I think we could get a “some” winners season. I don’t think there’s any way Bianca would ever do it.

>That’s a fun group. Where’s it filming? Wonder if we will really get an winners season.

In Manchester, they're using the same filming sets for UK3 that just wrapped filming. Also... Regular AS7 & S14 are going to be filming in LA soon too...

Loving all this drag race!!

And Jordan, true but between all the franchises they’d have at least 10 to make a season.

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 3/29/21 at 11:00pm

Oh, 100%. There’s at least 10-12 winners between all the franchises that would do it. Tyra must need cash for rent or something.

Tyra made terroristic threats against Drag Con. WoW is not about to extend another olive branch to that one...
