Another episode, another pass for Vanjie. Yeah, she did better in the lipsync against Plastique who couldn't really feel the rhythm and the mood of the song, despite performing well, just to a different tune. But it's like the election day in Putin's Russia - all the people he competes against had been pre-approved by him, looking weak in comparison. Judging fairly from the start, Vanjie should have been in the bottom at least 3 times now, and there's no chance she would survive to lipsync against Plastique.
Snatch game was bad except for a few good performances. Silky was good, nina was nice and shuga too.
Vanjie bad and brooke was a huge flop. I expected Yvie to be better.
Brooke was saved by the runway and that lypsinc WAS EVERYTHING. BOTH QUEENS SAVED BECAUSE WAS GREAT. Vanjie deserved the bottom tho.
Isobel's story was included in this season as if it was just another side plot... only to leave us absolutely devastated this episode. I did not see all these feelings coming! Don't leave us, stay another episode at least... ah, everything about it was sad, but what made it even more sad for me was Rahul Kohli. Damn, that's some acting right there.
That said, I have multiple issues with this episode. We finally had a payoff with Major's infiltration mission... which ended on a terrible note. I was a bit unhappy about Chase simply shooting the girl, it doesn't really fit with the Chase who hesitated before killing Mama Leone. I have problems there, because it's too convenient (the shooting) for Major to definitely hate and work against Chase later on... but well. I like how Chase's expression immediately changed sensing something went wrong before they even knew.
Also, I feel like iZombie is struggling hard with the "cases of the week"... As fun as it is to find out what brain Liv will be on next, I feel like they're doing so well with the stories that carry over through multiple episodes, having them spend time on explaining cases seems like a waste. I keep seeing scenes in the interrogation table and tuning off or just thinking "whatever, show us what the others are up to".
Well i am not schocked at all! Since last two episodes it was written Yvie Oddly in that crown, i feel kinda bad for A'keria because in the lipsync she was better than Yvie tbh.In the last lipsync i was expecting more from Brooke Lyn.
Yvie's first and last outfit left me gagging.

[8.4/10] I feel like this episode isn't going to please most people. The critical crowd is going to be annoyed at it for indulging in fan service at times and wrapping a lot of character relationships too quickly. The more casual fan crowd is going to be upset that this episode was full of yakking and sparse on action or narrative momentum. But honestly, I really liked this one. I have to imagine that the next four super-sized episodes are going to be filled to the gils with action and high drama and excitement. In the prelude to that, it's really nice to get a series of quiet moments to reflect on where everyone has been to get to this point, and the uncertainty of the future, amid the other grace notes that "The Rightful Queen" provides.
Those are the two big ideas at the center of the episode. On the one hand, you have this sense of everyone both assuming that they're doomed but worrying about what the future holds. More than one character declares that they're all dead. And yet at the same time, you have Dany and others worrying about who might have a claim to the Iron Throne or some slice of the Seven Kingdoms. You have Tyrion and others worrying about who might become (or remain) Hand to the Queen. And you have everyone from Misandei to Sansa thinking about what the world looks like when this battle is over. There's the sense of an inevitable, mortal threat, but also of concern for where things stand after they've picked up the pieces.
But there's also a sense of marking how long the journey has been to reach this point and how much everyone has changed along it. Arya is grown, with her own skills, directness, and desires that mark a sharp contrast from the aspirational little girl who went with her father to King's Landing. Jaime and Tyrion are both much different men since they were "The Golden Lion" and "The Imp" who previously set foot in Winterfell ("the perils of self-betterment"). Hell, even the likes of Podrick has become a capable warrior (and classy singer to boot.) There's a boatload of taking stock in this episode, of remembering where everyone's been and the distance between here and there.
What's more, there's tons of nice little moments. Lyanna Mormont gets a nice scene with Jorah, Gilly gets a little time to shine, and Edd gets a chance to reunite with his Night's Watch brethren. That's all on top of Tyrion's little gathering by the fire, which makes the most of the hang out vibe this episode summons when the time is right.
All-in-all, this feels like one of those Game of Thrones episodes we'll remember beyond the bigger clashes and contretemps the series usually has in store. It's a slower episode, but one that deepens our understanding of where these characters at psychologically and developmentally after nearly eight seasons, and lets us wonder about what the future holds right alongside them.
Ok, we got a Peraltiago "I love you", we got Jake worried about what it would mean for Amy if something happened to him, we got Jake being THE emotional support of the squad after a little talk with Holt, we got a Rosa + Jake (best friends) hug and we got that beautiful scene at the end Gina + Amy + Rosa not afraid of showing how much they love each other.
THIS SERIES IS A BEAUTIFUL, CHUBBY LITTLE BABY AND I`LL PROTECT IT FOREVER.
Welp.... it doesn’t really matter what happens in the rest of the season now
Omg finally they are married but holy shit that cliff hanger!
Up until now I loved Naomi so much and I can't believe how shady she was. So disappointed and so sad to see Manilla go.
The episode turned out better than expected tbh, but all in all there's still so much wasted potential.
I can't believe they just killed the Antichrist by traveling back in time and running him over with a car. It's just so cheap.
I also don't really understand how the two kids with extraordinary genes from the first episodes managed to birth the next Antichrist and what even made them special in the first place (I saw theories they might be the alien children from Asylum but I doubt the writers even thought that far), what the point of Coco's power was, why Mallory was the most important character but was so bland and had no real development or why we even had a whole Murder House sequel episode when it's all undone again now anyway. Just to throw some unsatisfying things out there. Though the most unsatisfying thing has to be the Antichrist - How can anyone take him seriously after we know he's basically just a 6 year old who feels abandoned by mommy and daddy?
I am confused. They actually made some significant changes to the group's life, they even made Stuart successful and they introduced a cool nerdy girl, and at the end of the episode they didn't ruin it again for everybody! That's not the TBBT I'm used to. And I like it.
This was bullshit! I feel more attacked than Laganja.
First of all, i am not mad because Plastique was sent home, i am mad because the way she left.
Apparently it's ok if you say that Plastique was relying on "Being Asian" but if you say that Silky or Akiria are relying on "Being Black" then you're racist... How can you tell an immigrant from Vietnam not to speak with vietnamese accent? I mean, this has no sense at all and besides that for me Vanjie was clearly the loser, she was whiping her hair like crazy and Plastique gives only five seconds of screentime.
Then they criticized that she wasn't wearing a fully mask when Silky doesn't even wear make up and on purpose, that was very off.
I may be dropping this season and a hope Brooke Lyn, Yvie or Nina win.
I AM DEVASTATED. I really love kameron and cracker, but I think cracker deserved one more chance it was her first lypsinc
These kind of cliffhangers are why people go bald
(GASPS IN SPANISH) I'M SHOOK, BUT YOU KNOW, SHE LEFT BY HER OWN TERMS & CONDITIONS, SHE SLAYED THE COMPETITION THE WHOLE TIME. WHATAKWEEN
Wow, those flashback scenes added a whole new dimension to the story.
In 11 seasons, that has to be the worst Reading Challenge ever. Trinity_where_are_the_jokes.gif
I still don't get the big whoop over Silky. In a way, she's like Vanjie, in the sense that both queens have such a strong personality that every challenge they do is basically just them on full volume. The difference of course (for me at least) is that Vanjie is actually charming and likeable, while Silky is obnoxiously deluded about her brilliance. She's not untalented, but considering Plastique gets shit for doing the same Asian character in acting challenges, no one ever points out that Silky is basically just doing Silky in every acting challenge, too.
I think the ranking of all the queens this week was spot on, especially the winner and loser. I kind of felt bad for Nina who seemed to let her contribution take second place to let Brooke shine, although she was still great. Akiria was the surprise this week and a worthy winner - possible dark house for the Top 3. Some fab looks on the runway this week, too. Terrific set of guest judges, I only wish we'd had a bit more time with Natasha Lyonne.
Best Ball on Drag Race Herstory... said no one!
The fact that BoBo won this challenge says everything about it.
I want to "touch" up on the part where they fist bumped; this is just my speculation, but it seems dangerous to even interact with the kid in the cell, and touching him would be the catalyst that would drive you completely mad as if the kid is in control of the body. I have an inkling, and imagine what would happen if Molly were to touch Henry.. Maybe she did that one time, and that's why Henry has no memory of the murder. What if both Molly and the kid has the Shining ability, but are completely opposite of one another.
RuPaul: Bimini Bon-Boulash, I can't se... there's some actress that you look like and I can't...
Bimini Bon-Boulash: Meryl Streep?
I'm still laughing so hard with that :laughing:
Well not all were laughs this episode, this is the first time I cried over a lipsync, personally I think Lawrence was the least funny so I still don't know how she gets to the top, on the other hand I think A'Whora didn't bomb at all and since they gave "extra points" to other queens they should've give her as well for being first and confident.
Lawrence and A'Whora being pressed by Ellie's decision but if they were in her position I'm sure they will set her up to fail.
I'm just so sad... wether the bottom two would be it should've been a double shantay, sending any of them home this week it just doesn't make sense with my fantasy.
Well, anoyone who knows the history of Scotland knows that David Rizzio (Riccio) was murdered in front of Queen Mary (Stabbed multiple times). Good thing that the show producers stick to the history facts and didn't alter it, even though it is very sad to see. But everyone knew it was coming anyways. This episode was good! everything about it was good. I liked the song played when Mary was hiding to meet with Rizio and Lord Bothwell also the one when she was escaping with Lord Darnley :)
The episode did not disappoint, as usual. I very much enjoyed it! Can't wait to see what happens next regarding Mary :)
Oh I am soooooo glad they kicked Acid Betty to the curb! Lawdamercy... couldn't stand her snarky, superior, arrogant self. Yay for Bob The Drag Queen!!
Dumb episode.
How does someone accidently use the wrong program to send a message?
Also: Why didn't Lauren call her right away?
It was clearly not meant for the public.
If a friend does something possibly career-ending you call them until they pick up... (Hotel-Rooms still have phones, so you can certainly reach someone staying at a hotel - even if their mobile is muted...).
On the story itself: I have never heard of something like that happening to anyone under 40.
And even then: Women are usually more careful than men with material like that.
Every noteworthy private video which got out could be traced back to some intermediary who leaked or sold the material.
Why don't you stop portraying people as stupid and make an episode about something leaked because you sent it unencrypted via e.g. eMail.
Also: Who reads the contracts before Liza signed them? Usually you demand to at least see the published pictures beforehand if not reserve final approval (Not that it mattered much as Liza needed the Campaign more than she needed the campaign - but nonetheless: WTF? She is not Joey (Remember the Acne-Ad in Friends...)).
That's what happens when your top contestants are in the bottom although it should've been Yvie and Vanjie..
Ra'Jah being pissed at Scarlet was ridiculous - I can't believe Ra'Jah got her to apologise when she had named Scarlet to go, along with everyone else on the team. If anyone had grounds to be upset, it was Scarlet.
Ra'Jah came across like even more of a dick this episode. At least with this being her third time in the bottom, the likelihood is she'll be gone in the next episode or two.
Seriously?! I had a feeling I'd watch this whole season and then they'd leave it on a super dumb ending to make us tune in a year from now.
Henry, the key, Mac now having the curse... sigh
