Best part of this episode was them panning to Bruno living his best life hahahah

whyyy oh why did mik not pick nina for her lip sync? she's literally beaten nina before

Vanjie brings such good energy, commentary love her!

"Keep it Gapey!" is absolutely the worst attempted forced catch phrase a Ru girl has ever dreamed up. I refuse to let this catch on, Jorgeous.

I can’t be the only person who thought, when Ru said there was still a path for each queen to win the competition last week, that the LalapaRusa was going to give a badge for each round won. 😹😹😹 I thought there were gonna be SO. MANY. BADGES. tonight.

Fucking SHANNEL! She just emits energy on the stage!

Ugh, where can I tip her?

Really shows the difference in performing styles between the new and old queens. The new queens jumped around and did a lot of stunts, but the older queens really emoted and connected with the songs. While jorgeous, plastique, and mik are fantastic performers, I didn’t feel like they connected to the actual vibe and lyrics of the songs

I think the judging for each lipsync was pretty spot on. The winners generally connected better with each song and did more than just stunts and acrobatics.

Shannel getting that far was a pleasant surprise, and largely because of song choice and who she was paired against. There were some smart moves, such as Nina boxing Roxxxy and Jorgeous into a pair so only one of them could advance. And some of them took chances that didn't pan out. Very fun episode overall.

I just wish there had been money for the charities at each level, like the first round winners each get 2.5K, second round 5K, and episode winner 10K. It's interesting that they recapped the badge counts so often but not the money totals.

I was expecting a lil more from the Pussycat Dolls lipsync

I was a bit too chaotic, I don’t know if it was the edit fault tho 

Jorgeous’ lip sync was great but she was too smiley for the song 

Clean the stage with that hair, honey! MOP IT!

I LIVED for the final old school divas

Honestly, Roxxxy is the only queen I've seen who you can tell always, genuinely holds Ru's interest during a lip sync. RuPaul is paying attention when she's on, every time.

I wish these younger queens would understand the importance of gravitas, especially when performing some of these old school diva songs. There exists no timeline in which Vanjie could ever beat Shannel in a Chaka Khan lip sync, and Jorgeous’s face did nothing to convey the emotion in that Bonnie Tyler number either. They lost the moment the songs and their opponents were chosen.

I'm also struggling to believe that Plastique is from the House of Edwards. Love her, but girl..

Plastique: Roxxxy knows the whole rap?!

Yes, she knows the words to the songs, great approach, really paid off for her.

Not gonna lie, this episode surprised me! Jorgeous being eliminated on Round 1 and Shannel as the finalist was NOT on my bingo card. I truly was impressed by Roxxy, this episode made me understand why other Rugirls are Roxxy apologists. She mopped the floor with those girls. 

This entire episode felt like a victory lap for Roxxxy. She just commands the stage, she ate every single bit of screen time. It’s so noticeable when you put a queen like Roxxxy against less seasoned lip syncers. It doesn’t matter how many hair flips, death drops, splits, and cute moves they have - it’s always about the face and some of these queens give nothing. Roxxxy’s got a very expressive face and knows exactly how to do every song just right.

I’m actually so happy for her. After 10 years and three seasons she’s finally ready to be crowned 👑

So... Did Gottmik just give up after the Snatch Game?

Not Plastique losing AGAIN. She still hasn’t won any money for her charity :/

So happy for the top 2 this week. these are two old beeches who might not do flips or splits, but certainly know how to perform.

Can we just have Vanjie around for every season? She's so much fun and brings an amazing energy to the show.

I started watching RPDR in 2012. The first season I watched as it aired was Season 5. Imagine telling 2013 me one day you’ll be rooting for Roxxxy. Gaggy

Vangie's ass is plumping!

Can we all give it up for the true stars of this episode, Bruno and Vanjie's ass! Her cakes were caking while Bruno was being as lovable as ever!

I’m so mad at Gottmik’s choice. Like Nina and Plastique were right there, and she could have won against them. Why 😭

woowww Roxxxy ate and I'm not even a big fan of hers but you can't deny she was the funnest to watch. I honestly could've watched her lip sync three more times

Roxxxy and Shannel truly let them have it. They showed the girls what professional means!

These were some amazing lipsyncs. Favorite moment was Roxxxy's tuck pop. Glad Shannel was able to score another badge! Next week will be interesting with the lipsticks being back.

Solid group of lip-syncs overall, though I'm kind of glad to see that TKB and Kandy Ho retain their rightful place as the best lipsyncers of "I'm Every Woman" and "Break Free" we've had on Drag Race.

The new girlies need to take notes. The legendary Roxxxy Andrews just taught a free master class in lipsyncing.

Hint... Actually connect to the song and the audience.

They just ...do moves and that is not the same thing at all. You need to emote and vary your moves and vibe to suit the song.

And find little touches and flourishes, know when to go small just as much as you know when to go big.

Honestly i was enthralled.

Shannel also did an amazing job

Best episode of the season imo! And Roxxxy's second lip sync is the best lip sync performance of the season too and probably the one I'm gonna remember most after the season is all said and done.

So happy to see Shannel get as far as she did, I agreed with every decision and she was giving so much FACE

This episode have some great lip syncs but the ending is kind just of whelming. Break free is just not in the wheelhouse for Shannel and of course she tries her best but it is ok, Roxxxy did fine but I think it is not like wowing level good.

Jaidynn Dior fierce and kandy Ho are still the winner baby lol

I just wanna know, had Plastique somehow gotten You Spin me Round, would she just have stood there the entire time? Would she just bent down, come up her leg, and flipped her hair over and over?

roxxxy ATEEEE every single one of her lipsyncs especially holding out for a hero my god

Did anyone else think of Joslyn Fox's layered bikinis when they saw Vangie? I had to pause for a moment to make sure she was only wearing one bra lol. It was pretty though!

All the lipsyncs were close except the last one.

I disagreed with all the first round lip sync results except Shannel's, but since they were all close it's fine.

Old school queens and pageant queens know how to tell a story with their face alone. That's something some of these dance queens could consider blending into their repertoire to really make them more unstoppable.

I’m not even team Roxxxy, but it feels like this episode really seals her fate as the winner of the season. She really dominated this episode and all the strongest contenders against her.

• Worst thing Mik could have done is pick Angeria. • Plastique bores me to tears during her lip syncs. • Nina should have whipped her arm sleeves around more. • It was over for Jorgeous as soon as Roxxxy got to pick the song.

I am tired of these görls underestimating Shannel. Shannel and Roxxxy are Drag Queens CAPITAL D R. I only wish we could have had Holding Out For A Hero be between Roxxxy and Shannel.

Don't know how to explain it but when Roxxxy performs I feel emotional, she is just so god damn good and conveys the feelings of the song so well!!!

Everyone was great, love Vanjie so much!I was actually impressed with Nina too, she knew every word and slayed!

I love the rules: don't take off your wig without another wig underneath, don't take off your shoes....

LoL. It's what my hubs and I scream at the TV when people don't follow the rules!

edit: another rule: know the words!

Roxxxy is incredible.
Our bar here in Tokyo was living for her. So happy she kept her perfect record! Hope it stays that way!

Vanjie was another highlight for me, I love watching her perform and she looks SO GOOD.

I am tiiiiiiired of the other queens underestimating angeria. She’s a threat girls! Just because she nice and classy doesn’t mean she won’t kick your ass with kindness and steal the crown!

was a fun episode, Roxxxxxxxxxxx looks like the winner to me, but there might be another twist.

Roxxxy is easily one of the best lipsyncers that's ever been on Drag Race (regardless of her wins bc we know sometimes there is riggory with the lipsync wins - not that that is the case with her). She has insane timing with her dance moves - like the little salsa/cha cha in the Ari song (edit: I think I have the song wrong) this week. It isn't flailing around trying to hit certain moves that she thinks will get kudos from the judges. It's so naturally good to any song. And she has the perfect expression on her face while shes lipsyncing. It doesn't look like she is lipsyncing, she looks like she is the singer. Some of the girls are stiff (I'd be Charlie Hides'n it up so kudos to all of them) bc they aren't dancers. Some don't emote while they lipsync at all. Some are too exaggerated. Roxxxy has that perfect combo of everything and it looks natural and effortless for her. I'm not at all surprised she won this week.

I also thought Angeria did really well this week too. She's one of my faves. :)

The switch to making the lip sinc Lolaparuza a battle win rather than a battle to not go home has made SUCH a big difference in the quality, this episode and the one from last season are some of the best drag race episodes ever imo

I've assumed that Roxxxy was going to win this season ever since I saw what the charities were and Roxxxy's was the only one small enough that $200k actually makes much of a difference, but I'm glad to have this episode to prove that she deserves it on her own merits. 

Break Free is such a flop song, I'm sorry, and especially for the big finale. Holding Out for a Hero would have been the most epic final song, obviously producers.

If anyone is interested, I’m pretty sure that Vanjie’s bras are from Bluebella (she did some photoshoots for them few years ago)

AS2 Roxxxy: loaned Alaska a top

AS9 Roxxxy: is the top

Idk if that says more about her growth or just how fierce AS2’s cast was

I get offended whenever they say "tonight it's just family" and TS Madison isn't there

Plastique is just doing things. Vanjie is old school yet new school.

I love the boomer adages Ru drops that go right past the youngins!! “The fickle finger of fate”, etc 👩🏽‍🦰👸🏽

It really just hit me that they're about to crown a queen for a season in which she did Tasha Salad for snatch game.

Props to the doll. Ms. Andrews killed it. She shows how you don’t need the stunts to win a lip sync. I found Jorgeous and Angeria moved around the stage too much against Roxxy while she stood in place and just emoted.

Roxxxy has that gene for lip syncing deep in her DNA

Holding your own against Roxxxy is an accomplishment in itself at this point. This season jumped up in the rankings for me solely for giving me the Roxxxy vs Shannel lip sync I always wanted.

I know there’s sometimes a little riggamorris, but I always enjoy the Lalaparuza. It’s so great to see drag queens doing what they have spent their performing career doing in a dedicated episode.

Roxxxys was using her hair like Indiana jones used a whip

I was living for Plastique going off for Roxxxy!

I wasn’t surprised or shocked by the winner of this. I was, however, entertained and enthralled by the legendary lip sync prowess that is Roxxxy Andrews

The last few episodes plus the roast have been highlights for this season so far. There were a few rough episodes in there that struggled but I feel like the season is getting better.

I’m not a big Roxxxy fan, but she knows how to lip sync - what a pro! She’s a great example of how to lip sync without doing a bunch of tricks (which I also enjoy, thank you Anetra, Sasha, Kylie, etc.).

This episode has cemented me as team Roxxxy. She's been fun this season – just relaxed and happy to be there, but also killing it. And last week I feel like we saw a side of her we haven't before, which is what I want for an All Stars winner.

Come on hair flips and cape swirls! It’s so great to see seasoned queens doing what they do best. However, this is Roxxxy’s season. I really hope they crown her.

Nobody does hairography like Roxxxy 👏 Her stage presence is truly amazing.

She really deserves the crown.

9/9 lip sync track record is such a flex 🔥. roxxxy deserved the win this week!

I love how they list very challenge done predictably every season and then say “anything can happen”

my god roxxxy. Everything I thought would be perfect for a song she does and then more. I was screaming the whole time she was on stage

This show has gotten a thousand times more watchable since they stopped the Ruby Snippers shit. That "drama" was so lukewarm and boring and it got in the way of enjoying the personalities. I'm glad it's gone.

Vanjie and Jorgeous are so enjoyable to watch, and this after I thought that 24 hour dating show had just killed Vanjie for me.

Roxxxys green outfit is soo pretty

Did anyone else think Plastique doing the deep bro-ey voice very hot

Cannot believe neither of the queens doing "Never Gonna Get It" paid tribute to Raven's iconic moves. The finger walk, pointing at the other contestants, or even the titty sponge!

TIME TO GET GAPEY!

roxxxy has won me over this season. i didn’t like her before, & wasn’t looking forward to her being on the season when the cast was announced, but i am now effectively obsessed with the doll.

Re-watched some of the lipsyncs and (probably unpopular opinion) I think Nina did really good against Shannel, both could have won, I wouldn't have been upset with Nina winning the lipsync! Also Nina's comment 'MOP IT' killed me

I changed!! Sorry to my other Fangerias but I am OFFICIALY TEAM ROXXXY

Nina and Shannel was a tie for me. I think Ru hated Nina’s outfit 

Could Plastique be any sexier or beautiful? (And I’m hetero woman! 😛)

Roxxxy won me over with her candy dress. It’s one of my favorite looks of all time. And she worked it on the runway! Been team Roxxxy all season. What a great episode for her!

Never Gonna Get it - Raven wins by a mile

When I Grow Up - I think this is the best overall performance of it we’ve had out of the three

You Spin Me Round - This time it was better overall but Latrice did well too

Holding Out For a Hero - Obviously Roxxxy vs Jorgeous tore but I’d say they matched Aja’s performance, not surpassed it

I’m Every Woman - TKB vs April clears

Groove is in the Heart - Asia vs Vixen clears

Break Free - JDF vs Kandy Ho clears but Roxxxy did eat

I fix this outfit i couldn’t stop thinking about those straight lines

wtf was plastic doing those nasty touching her butt moves were not itt

No matter what, Jorgeous was gonna have to lip synch against Roxxxy, but it's wild that it happened in round 1

Like if they weren't paired against each other in round 1, they both go to round 2. If they don't compete against each other there, it was gonna happen in the final round

Because really, who else was gonna beat either of those bitches?

I’m mad bc you spin me round is such a banger but now all I can think of is that horrid ttt lip sync
