Ok, when Ru says, 'You have a problem with the drag aesthetic,' you know you are in trouble. But I'm still shocked about Amanda. She certainly was prettier when out of drag.
Also, Nymphia! She plays silly, but she has talent. She is so great to watch, and that runway outfit!!!!! Perfection.

I knew from the start of this episode that we had a problem that would not end until either Amanda or Plane were gone. Plane has a problem with everyone, but it's intense with Amanda. The discord shown in the beginning made the ending more acceptable. Most of these Queens will leave before we have final stars, so we know that Amanda did not have what it takes to make it to the end. But, I favored her nonetheless. Her look when she first walked in during the introduction of the season was stunning, she can do glamor pretty; but, can be adventuress too. The kitty look was her downfall.  Was I shouting "tell them you are undercover kitty, on the hunt", Yes! But, for some reason she abandoned the concept, or got messed up in the story. Bye sweetie.  Sapphira..... I adore her. It's clear that Plane respects her. She listened politely to Mother Sapphira's 'pearls of wisdom', but did she hear them???
I loved Geneva's underdog group winning the comp. ($5,000 shared is how much?  Mhi'ya (I think) saying she gets $2000, and the others each get $1000. Nymphia dear, it's $1250 before taxes.)
Dawn called the final 2 correctly. Q because of her stiff dance performance. Amanda who danced beautifully, but, failed to execute the cat wig concept.
Truthfully, I thought the lip sync performance was equal, and that Ru chose to keep the Queen with the most potential a while longer. 
Still, can't believe that Plane would give her reason (to eliminate Amanda) as 'not being at the level to be part of the season'.....or something like that. Plane's comment was rude to not just Amanda, but also to Ru, who selected Amanda out of thousands of other queens to be on this show! Think before you speak, girl!

I've been sill annoyed with Plane over the comment about Amanda not deserving, because she lacks the skill set for this level. I thought Amanda said she was connected to "Kinky Boots" touring with the national company. She has the creds for this show and I'm so glad that she was on it.
This probably should go into the media thread, but it provides some timely info on this particular episode. MFW feel free to move it if you want to keep this thread clean. "This week, Amanda came out as trans, a “t-girl” specifically, still figuring out the specificity of her gender. In that interview she references Drag Race as the “cracking” of her egg, a concept understood within the trans community: an egg refers to someone who is trans but perhaps has yet to discover that fact. Amanda’s hatchling runway feels like it perfectly encapsulates where she says she was personally during filming."
(I still like my undercover cat hunting concept, but, this does clarify what she was going for. I agree with the article's author, not all of the looks were pussycat wigs relatable. Although Sapphira nailed that look.) Sorry, I digressed.

I knew Amanda wouldn't make it all the way but she became an instant favorite of mine. Mikesgirl thanks for that info, I had no idea. Now I will spend the rest of the season rooting for Plane Jane's downfall. I really can't stand her.

Amanda played Angel #2 in Kinky Boots (backup angels for Lola) national and international touring group. She is also a talented wig designer. No wonder the Queens were marking the wigs they hoped/wanted her to leave behind. Darn…..I miss her, and it’s barely been a week. 😞 |
