I looved Kim Chi's one here.. still I think Naomi was creative and fashion. Derrick was so meh for me and Robbie too.
I am SO GLAD to be wrong! NAOMI WAS GLOOOORIOUS. For someone who didn't even know what an interpretive dance was. Just so amazing! I'm... oh, absolutely charmed by how on point everything about her was tonight!
Ok, with my fangirling (partially) out the way, I need to first comment how much I loved the Little Women LA cast. I never knew such show even existed, but they were so fierce. I loved them all, and I think I'll start watching it. They just seem like interesting people.
-Loved: after Naomi, definitely Kim Chi. Ok, the dance was really weird, but... it's Kim Chi. Awkward is just part of her charm.
-I was pretty neutral towards Thorgy's overall performance, but considering she once commented on how negative Acid Betty was, she might want to reconsider the way she comes off in the show - I felt the way she worded her annoyance at Chi Chi and Bob were bordering on resentment, and that's not cool.
-Chi Chi, by the way, did disappoint. I think her attitude just isn't a winning one. "Good enough" is a concept that doesn't exist in Drag Race. It's in it to win it, all or nothing, so that thing of throwing off time, was ridiculous. I don't care if she can't sew, several things on the design can be improved without sewing. Also, it's Dorothy, and no ruby slippers? I just feel that there was more inspiration to be drawn from character. As it was, I found it underwhelming, and I don't give a damn about whether something was hot glued, sewed, safety pinned or glued with saliva, as long as the final result is decent - which, I think hers was. Just not Drag Race decent.
-The hairline blending contour tip is real, girl. Otherwise, I don't think it was really too awful, just really boring (despite her opinion being the exact opposite). I understand vintage silhouette, but that was church grandma silhouette. And again, underwhelming in taking inspiration from the character. I know sewing/construction isn't her thing though, and I can sort of excuse it... but at this point "not her thing" really does mean going home, so efforts must be made beyond all efforts ever made.
-Bob. Her Little Woman was SO extremely pretty, Jesus. I really need to watch their show, haha. However, for all the trouble Bob went through this episode, I think she was humbled by it. I also think that asking for help could do wonders too, but I doubt she'd ever be humbled enough to reach that point.
-At last, Derrick. Oh, wow. So you hemmed something - WHAT A SKILLLLLL. Everyone is absolutely right about her looks, everyone tells her exactly what is up, and she refuses to see. She thinks that one look is just "her drag". She would only naturally be saved by her amazing stage presence. At this point, I think that's the only good thing about her. Because her personality and looks are just pitiful. And now, I'm just really praying that she goes home next week. Derrick is basic in life, something a drag queen should never be.
Also, I'm disappointed that even with Marc Jacobs sitting right there, there were no MJ-related prizes. I mean, I understand the support for indie, drag-made brands, but throwing one nice designer item as freebie would really have made some of those queen's days, and these are stressful times...
Surprised Chi Chi wasn't down in the bottom; I wasn't a fan of Robbie so meh...also FINALLY Naomi giving us something!

these women are divas! loved their participation
imo robbie should've left on the first episode so I'm glad she's gone, but even though i love chi chi, she definitely belonged in the bottom today more than robbie.
I'm loving this season, i love this cast, even the "villains" are interesting. i miss those acting challenges though, like the "empire" one.
