Confusing (for me) and mesmerizing at same time. I am still trying to remember names, so many queens, so many outfits...  I will need to rewatch this episode again because there were just too many queens to digest it all for a ball. I enjoyed all three of Nymphia's presentations. She really is quite talented and deserved her win. It was a pleasure to watch, especially that last outfit.
I am a bit in awe whenever I watch the outfits that these lovely ladies create. I realize they werk with what they have brought, as well as what is provided; but the creativity they display always amazes me. Nymphia, Q and Sapphira deserved the placements they received.  Beautiful looks. I was really hoping the ratings would be revealed and everyone would see how Plane Jane voted.  Nymphia seemed to be watching Plane Jane after Ru delivered the results, and did nail it calling her out. I'm unsure if it was her intuition, or just her disappointment in placement last episode that lead her to be suspicious of Plane Jane, I don't know. But, she nicely called it.
I was uncomfortable watching Untucked when Jane delivered that shade toward Amanda (Tori Meating). Jane or "Plane" as they call her, has been doing drag a long time and should have been encouraging Amanda a newcomer to the art. I appreciated the way that all the Queens stood unified opposite Jane, and defended/addressed her insults of Amanda. Huh? Morphine and Jane are sisters, that was a surprise! Morphine did not budge from Amanda's side when Jane started throwing her shade. This could be a plot line that will carry forward??? Both Jane and Morphine throw shade, watching tonight I wondered if a line was being drawn between them.  Xunami with that egg reveal! Q did very well! She nailed the Judy Garland mother look, good choice. Geneva outperformed Hershii in the lip sync. I saw that defeated look in Hershii as soon as she knew she would be in final lip sync. Geneva was determined to win it and she delivered. I was heartbroken to see Hershii go, but as mentioned during Untucked. She was chosen out of thousands of drag queens across the country, that makes her special already.

Xunami with that egg reveal!!! I totally need to see that again. Really love Nymphia, her look was incredible, and I love her oddness.
Hershii with some really bad looks. She brought that Mother Earth outfit from home? She should have kept it there.

Hershii messed up with her outfits. The sock skirt would have been fine.....if she had tucked the toes under, revealing a straight hem, or cut them off. It could have been a creative re-interpretation. She abandoned her creative side too soon. So many Queens, so much creativity, so much competition...it can be overwhelming. I will miss her.

I agree! I would have loved to have seen that. Really overwhelming. I still don't know everyone's names yet, and confused as to who is who out of drag. Thought that the 'ballerina' for the talent show was hilarious, but have no idea who did that. Lol.

I see people who like Plane sticking up for her on SM, saying things like "that's just the way she talks." Well, that's actually worse than if they said "It's part of her drag character." This means they're a nasty person in and out of drag. If what Plane said to Amanda had happened naturally in the conversation, and if it had some humor or wit attached to it, it would have been forgiveable. But Jane literally stopped the room and thought it was fine to pronounce cold judgment on Amanda, as if everybody was waiting to hear it. Nobody was. And it was so pointed and cold -- how did she think it would go over? And when some queens came back at her for it, she lashed out at them. That's just the wrong attitude to have. It's Phi Phi and Gia Gunn all over again. I can't stand those kinds of queens. Unfortunately we'll be stuck with her for a while since she has immunity to hold over everyone's heads... Nymphia's ties look was historic. Only Raja or Utica could come close to that level of couture on the spot. Joel Kim Booster (who is going to be a guest judge later this season) had an interesting point on SM: |

Nymphia wasn't kidding when she said she was a designer. She is amazing, and I just love her. Her words also can deliver the message (Plane's grading system doubt), but are tastefully, and gracefully chosen.
It's going to be hard to get rid of someone like Plane. Mother might have to step in at some point if she continues to spit such vitriol.
I would have appreciated the Rate-a-Queen reveal even more if they posted how many votes each queen received to place them in position. Perhaps that would have resulted in Plane toning down? Anyway, I am about to re-watch that episode, because it went by so fast, and the sound bytes can be distracting sometimes.
