Embrace the BQ make roasted smoked or grilled a thing 🤣🤣🤣🤣 She's smoked like brisket ! Her mug is grilled ! Her wig like is roasted. Screw hot or rot...and... Order BBQ when you film.🤣 Rusicals are usually cringe no matter what. Rebrand ... it worked for madonna 😅
i defy anyone to pull a better performance than Rose. THAT was actual Broadway level. Just her 'rain on my parade' run alone was better than any other performance past, present or future. I really like Anetra but THIS was a whole lot of fu*kery by the judges to not give Loosey a win & then put her in the bottom!? Girl bye. Also - if Sasha was lip syncing this song - could have been epic vs. mediocre.
This one was my favorite. It's the only one really that doesn't feel like a series of separate music videos but an actual stage play with an actual plot. Mostly because the plot is borrowed I guess 😂, but nevertheless it was fun to watch
Not like it matters, though, since it's just a lipsync? She's a phenomenal lipsyncer, but as the episode proved, having theater experience didn't matter.
Speaking out what everybody has been thinking for a decade now. Ross is a friendly but entirely unqualified and superfluous seat-filler, who is neither funny, nor does he know anything about fashion or has noteworthy drag experience... He is just there. The best I can say about him is that he only rarely makes the show worse. I did not think I could grow this tired of someone who is so just blah. He is the tasteless storebrand vanilla ice cream of the Drag Race franchise.
Definitely a forced critique for the narrative push of her elimination. We've heard from queens across franchises that the judges basically HAVE to give positive AND negative critiques so the editors have footage for whatever narrative they need to tell.
ross was most definitely joking when he said that about the gloves, hence why rupaul cackled after he said that. it’s to emphasize how “bad/distracting” the jumpsuit was. not that i’m agreeing with him bc i do think salina would always get critiqued super harshly but he wasn’t serious with that comment
@juldey99 well i think even as a joke i think as a finisher for Salina's runway looks, cos that too much comment is something that's always given to her. In this case those big ass gloves are impossible to miss that even as a joke I'd be like "are you fkn frl"😂 so i get Salina here
i am not a loose fan and i was gagged she wasnt in the top she did so well i honestly belive the same as you that they are just trying to break her psyche. From what ive seen the show does not consider her a winner, i wouldnt be shocked if they eliminate her on some bs critiques next week
@@jaf22_2 it's not that deep. If everyone does good in challenge, then the runway determines the outcome. If people do poorly in the challenge, then it holds more weight. Not a very complicated concept
@@strahinjakordic2385 I always thought people meant airtime?? Like with commercials if you watch it on tv? But I'm not sure, it's confusing to me as well
@@madih7656 I mean we are definitely watching the same episodes but I guess you're right, they are counting the time it takes live on air, I've been losing my mind over this
I dont think the producers even made a more shady edit of a queen then what they are doing of Loosey, they are literally trying to push her as far as they can to see her crack and honestly it's starting to make me feel unconfortable watching this season. I'm kind of appaled by the fan base just jumping on her as well and no one seems to really be calling out the bullying and bad edit she's getting. Fairly certain that if she'd be another kind of queen, people would be up in arms to defend her...
It’s their way of doing the villain edit without doing the villain edit so they can wash their hands and have deniability when people send her death threats. It’s appalling, IMO.
I mean, she's giving them those moments and dialogues and she's letting the others show she's affected by her criticism, and she's so fucking eager to prove she's good to the point that she's counting mini challenge wins. You can't put those words into her mouth. The only shady thing the production is doing is showcase ONLY those moments when I'm sure there are lots of other moments where Loosey is nice. But nice don't make no TV show, she should know after 14 seasons...
I was really able to relate to Loosey and her attitude in this episode when she spoke again about her history with bullying. Dealing with being bullied and an outcast at a young age, I also internalized that the only way I could be appreciated was by being the best. I can see how that would translate in a competitive setting and imagine I would act in much the same way as she is.
Honestly, the judges were not too kind to Salina this season and I think watching it now and reliving it is causing her to have the very valid feelings she’s experiencing. I wish her so much success in the future. She deserves it!
Agreed but she’s going through a lot right now especially with her mom passing. I’m sure she’ll feel differently even a year from now when her career takes off and her emotions (while valid) have settled a bit
@@Emile.gorgonZola You can not like a queen on the show but to say she is untalented is just untrue if she truly wasn’t talented she would have never even got on the show in the first place let’s not do this
Same.I love shade and a good kiki. Love the first 6 seasons. But with Luxx many times it feels like she's degrading Lucy and not shading or ribbing. Like Mistress most times feels just shady. Idk.
@@bexxgenx3165 I agree, Luxx’s shade seems malicious and destructive. Mistress has more fun with her shade. Poor Loosey, she has been done dirty by production and contestants alike.
Don’t feel like they were mean but they could’ve been nicer to her, they already knew that loosey experiences reality a little differently. She isn’t trying to be rude, she really is just that delusional. I really hope some of the girls come around after the episode aired and we all got to find out that according to her confessionals the delusions are a coping mechanism for her.
@@bexxgenx3165 degrading loosey? you people need to let loose. yall are the reason you have queens getting death threats. Everybody in the room acknowledged it wasn’t bullying like ???
I really feel for Loosey. I wish she would express to Mistress and Luxx how their comments make her feel, like how she told Salina. It sucks having to be the butt of every joke and people not taking you seriously.
she did express it, she literally starts to tear up and everything. i really dislike myself for taking so long to get her, i had to listen her say how it made her feel like when she was a kid and everyone mocked everything she did for me to say "naw shit, i get you and im so sorry". i know mistress is playing around with her, it is funny ngl, but when you see how affected she is, girl just leave her alone because the joy you get in seeing someone get riled up and stressed turns your action into bullying.
Anetra's performance in the challenge was just breath taking for me. I think she looked good on the runway it wasn't up to the level of sasha or mib but I think the performance deserved the win. It may have just resonated with me more because it reminds me of someone in my own life but still she executed the role flawlessly and I felt it.
I was lowkey kinda shocked my sashas makeup??? I know she probably just kept it from the rusical, but i though it made her look a little crazy in the baseball glove outfit
I feel like the bottom was just based off of the "who should go home" and the runway, because everybody did such an amazing job with the rusical that nobody should been in the bottom based on that. (also the fact that Marciax3 went home before the rusical episode made me laugh and confused at the same time.)
She’s literally not being true to herself & they can feel that, why Michelle said she’s a workaholic! The other queens are enjoying being in the moment & it shows! I’ve nothing against her but wish she’d chill out so I could get into her!
@@darkangellew but why is being driven and "overachiever" so judged on this show? Whenever a queen wants it and works for it like crazy it is, yeah not ok, be happier we will be cold to you but be more relaxed. Is that an American thing? To not like people who try the harders?
@@elisasegal8153 I agree. This is the edit that Thorgy got too. The "they're too in their head to win, but look how talented they are" edit. You know Ru hates an anxious queen LOL
After Loosey opening up here and performing amazing these past few episodes, these constant confessionals of “Loosey isn’t doing as good as she thinks she is” is really disingenuous Like, she’s speaking her mind and she’s vocal. We’re praising mistress for the same thing, but as soon as someone shows a sign of being actually affected by the words of their castmates, they’re “delusional” and a villain. Michelle’s critique incited actual anger in me because I’m really tired of these bs “critiques” where they’d rather continuously beat down a queen who’s already getting so much hate in such a vulnerable state than be actually helpful on how she can make her drag more compelling Anyways, I loved this episode and it’s my fav so far❤
The real bullshit is production supplies the queens hair and outfits for the Rusical. So for Michelle to say her look didn’t stand out when she changed into girl drag is just some shit to rationalize putting her into the bottom.
@@SH-sq6pz Her look put her in the bottom point blank period. They all did great in the rusical but Loosey n Salina had the worst looks on the runway by far. Let’s stop doing somersaults trying to defend the undefendable.
@Juriji-Hime Loosey's runway had a clear concept, perfectly executed. Polished, clean, camp. Anetra's runway was miles worse than everyone else, you are as delusional as the queens if you think Loosey had the worst runway. I mean, even Luxx was wearing a black pair of pants and an ill-fitted t-shirt with puffy paint on it...
@@matthewlucas4990 Correct! If it had fit the Narrative of the Week, they would've put Anetra in the bottom. I can already hear Michelle saying, "This is just a bra and panties under a shear body suit with some lights. Not nearly as detailed as Loosey's. But it DID NOT fit the narrative and BOOM, Anetra WINS????
@@matthewlucas4990 Me delusional? While you’re saying Luxx’s outfit was ill fitting and in the same comment saying Loosey’s had a clear concept? polished n clean? Good god girl get a grip! It was mediocre at best. She had a ill fitting bathing suit that resembled nothing of what she was talking about. That just tells me the taste level you have so I’m done with this conversation. Have a blessed day 👋🏽👋🏽
I thought it was going to be a double elimination TBH, but if I had to choose a winner of the lip sync, Selena Estitties had more emotion and was a smidge better. That is definitely a hard song to lip sync to, especially with such a huge stage.
I was worried at first she was going comedic with it, but then she did pure emotion like Loosey, and Salina won it a bit for me taking the gloves off at the end and making that emotional somehow. I do wish I could have seen a queen like Marcia do that song and put some modern dance into the instrumental part.
It might be a difficult number from an American drag style performance POV. If you know Kate Bush's style and influences i.e Lindsay Kemp, the number is not a hard one to perform.
Same neither really did it for me but I saw a bit more heart in Salina’s performance. Plus given that loosey has shown some super jush monster looks before, this sea monster/creature from the lagoon look was VERY underwhelming.
If Marcia was in the rusical she would of gotten the main role .then when it was time to go from boy drag to girl drag they would of told her she looked the same ,placed her in the bottom ,and then sent her home anyway 😂
I was so sad this episode, it just feels like Loosey was getting bullied over and over. She did so well and she is trying to be so polite and proper with the other girls and with what she says and they still gang up on anything she says. I love mistress and luxx but the line between playful jabs and bullying has became thin with those two.
I'm in my preparing my video to go live at 4AM again era. Lol. Yes- loved the timeliness of this rusical. I think it must have been conceptualized when the topic of drag bans became a hot button issue and we even saw channels like Girl Defined discussing it last year. Sad that here we are a year later with this still being pushed!
I think that we HAVE to be aware that the producers are doing everything in their power to not only break Loosey but also to make her dislakable even tho she is RIGHT! I personally don't like Luxx cuz she has thos tendency of putting down others to lift herself whereas Mistress shade feels real and funny. I think that the producers saw Loosey flopping on the 1st episode and since then, they've tried everything to create a Jan situation, which they have done. To me, this season has been as bad as S13. Irene going 1st, Luxx being mean to everyone to show her "confidence", Jaxx being in the bottom for no reason, treating Loosey like a crazy person, Spice sent home even tho she didn't do bad, 40 mins episode to promote a shitty rich people show.... Its such a shame cuz this has been one of the best casts in years but production just destroyed it for the lulz
OMFG Bussy, I'm dying at the water thing. I struggle with like near constant dehyration for some reason and my husband has taken to bringing me glasses of water throughout the day and firmly telling me to chug it NOW! It actually has helped me a lot so I'm trying to keep it up. I guess he's in his water dom era and we love to see it lol
As bomb as this rusical was, I fully understand why Anetra got the win over the competitors. It was the way she delivered that prerecorded ballad. For me she was the only one that delivered their lyrics as if it had come from her own mind and put it to paper.
This now marks the second time that I believe Loosey lost a challenge because of her runway - remember the Beyonce runway. Loosey slayed in this challenge and for Michelle to make that comment about Loosey (when I don't think she even had any speaking/solo singing lines in that last quarter of the Rusical) was wild!
Right- it’s such a mixed bag on how they say what does and doesn’t count! Seems like the bottom 2 this episode was based on the queens picks? Salina and Loosey had the most votes from the other queens.
@@BussyQueen My daughter said the same thing. If we look at the runways, Loosey and Anetra had the worst in my opinion, but Loosey and Anetra did the best in the challenge, with Mistress close behind. If I am being honest, they should have sent home Spice and Salina weeks ago for that terrible lip-sync and then this could've been a lip-sync for the win. This way Marcia would've had her moment to shine in the Rusical as is right and proper.😀
With more money she likely will perform very well on allstars but I think the producers gave her such a bad edit that she's not gunna ve "popular" enough for it...
@@kimcapri9178 I think if Loosey had on something killer, they could've given her the deserved win and then put Luxx in the bottom knowing that they were going to send Selina home due to track record. Remember, everyone did great, so they could've said although Luxx did good in the challenge, her outfit (while cool) didn't truly fit the assignment. Let's be honest, they say whatever they want to say. I mean Ross had the nerve to say that he didn't even see Selina's gloves because her outfit was too busy?!? Like stop trying to gaslight us.
Production manipulation aside, I genuinely believe all the queens did so well this episode that it truly came down to “the question” and the runways, which were both Loosey and Salina. I will add that they both had my favorite performances in the rusical (along with Luxx) so it was hard seeing them in the bottom.
Such an unfair episode. Both Loosey and Salina did great, plus how the F they could not see the GIANT gloves in Salina’s outfit??? Smh.. 😠. And what about Anetra’s? She’s my favorite but her outfit missed the category completely.
This episode... gurl. Production put in their big girl production pants. Salina was one of the best in the Rusical, and she was in it from beginning to end, while always making sure to be present even when the spotlight wasn't on her. Luxx basically faded into the background for most of it other than her two small moments. Her time was up for this episode, so only way to put her in the bottom was with the question of all questions: Who should go home? And yes, based on track record with 3 bottoms and no wins, yes, she should be going home...
I agree. Salina really shone and had a lot of charisma in the Rusical. My eyes kept going to her. And I agree unless Luxx was doing a solo, she faded compared to some other queens.
@@ladyreverie7027 I do believe Luxx did fine in the Rusical but others did better. The writing was on the wall for Salina even before the challenge. Ru's walkthrough: "Anetra tell me your trauma and story. Wow, yes drag is powerful and you were born to do drag." "Sasha, tell me more of your life's story. You are so important. Thank you." "Salina, what's up?" Salina: "Well Ru, I feel like I havent been given a fair shot to shine. And it's hurt my confidence." Ru: " Yeah, ok. Moving on."
Gurl, I've seen enough of these to know that after you chugged that Waterloo Black Cherry, a huge burp was coming and you did NOT disappoint! 😂 Also, they really screwed Loosey over with that costume! She looked like a ten year old covered in tattoos! Another great episode BQ! aka She Who Must Not Be Named! ❣
this cast is for real so good, curious questionable runway looks but the talent is there, which is what matters the most after all. this rusical was good GOOD, everyone did so well. i feel like it's the first time in years that i don't know who to really root for for the crown. i'm in my confused era. ps: not the comparison to the teletubbies sun baby lmfaoooooooo
I am so baffled and disappointed by Loosey's edit. Having worked with her in the CT drag scene, my impression of her was always that she is exceptionally professional, kind, and stays out of drama. When I heard she was cast I was like, "Oh my god people are going to love her." CT people have joked about how she should be on the drag race/"why isn't she on drag race yet" for a really long time, so that might be feeding into the hunger and pressure she has on herself. On the show, she is definitely coming across too defensive/generally taking things too personally and that's from what she's saying, not the edit. But she's not delusional. Loosey is genuinely doing SO well in the competition and is super talented and versatile. I will agree that her runways have been lacking at times (especially the Beyonce one). But she makes so much of her own drag, which is something I miss from earlier seasons and the drag scene as a whole. I feel like the producers are snubbing her to keep her frustrated and to feed into the character they've decided on. I really hope that enough of the fanbase can see through the edit and recognize how great she is so she can get an All Stars opportunity.
Me wondering if Ross did something else too cause it seemed a lot but I hope she feels more appreciated now tho. Ok one thing I know is that I do not want to live in a world where you aren’t on my screen every week. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and vibes with us!
Loosey was definitely the winner for me. She brought so much emotion to her lipsynch as boy Heaven. She damn near brought me to tears. I enjoyed everyone's performance tbh, but I thought Loosey really was the emotional heart of the rusical
@@kimcapri9178 It honestly might have just been my emotions about all of the hateful anti-drag state legislation being proposed and passed lately. I might have been projecting my feelings onto more than what was there
@@iCodeSwitch I hate this pendulum swinging back into the dark ages too. I support freedom of expression, arts and entertainment. Drag Queens have the damn right to express themselves and love themselves and each other!! Grrrrr I hate hate. 😮💨 I guess that sounds moronic. 😭
They are trying to break Loosey's mind and they're DEFINITELY gonna boot her next episode b/c to get rid of her right before the finale? Yup. They gonna do her so dirty. I can't wait to see what the Ru-union has in store b/c Salina and Ru are gonna fight when Ru calls out Salina (which she will) and Loosey with her edit.
Whenever Ru asks the question "Who should go home and why?" is it usually because the judges actually cannot decide on who should be in the bottom. So the fact that the answers from the other Queens were Loosey and Salina that sealed the deal. The only other way to judge was based on the runway and again Loosey and Salina had the weakest looks along with Anetra who they clearly gave the highest praise to for making them feel something during the Rusical. So she gets top and they get bottom. Didn't seem too far fetched to me.
What this show is doing to Loosey is genuinely gross and uncomfortable to watch. The gaslighting is real. We've already seen her crack by breaking down being reminded of when she was bullied as a teen because of Luxx and Mistress (And it's bullying, period) yet they're still trying to tear her down in favor of the Mean Girls. Over it tbh.
I think Salina needs to do some damage control. Got to remember, this show can launch your career and obtain future bookings to clubs and other appearances. Don't blow it unless money and reputation means nothing to you
no, somebody had to say that. The judging is a mess and she is spot on with everything she said about that unfunnfy tanned muppet who to this day has ZERO qualifications that would allow him to competently judge drag queens. Ross Matthews should have never been hired for this show.
I mean, she is friends with Frankie and possibly Ariana - she'll be fine😅 but I know what you are talking about. I wonder if AllStars would be possible. I love Salina and I want to see her more!
sasha's look for this runway reminded me of symone's outfit in the finale lip sync, it was made of deconstructed timberland boots! i love these deconstruct+reconstruct kind of oufits, so creative!
I was also hoping that Salina’s look was an Everything Everywhere All at Once reference. Her mentioning hot dog fingers on top of the fact that it was kinda giving Jobu wearing Alexander wang in an Estitties kinda way
it should have been Loosey's third win. at this point, there's nothing they can say that will sound reasonable to put her at the bottom when she's doing that great. the producers and the other queens are just being mean and calling Loosey crazy because they can't deny her talent, and the fans are going along. smh
Also am I the only one who sees what Luxx said to Loosey and thought "Wow, this person is twisting a knife inside another person by not just attacking their performance in the competition, but is attacking their drag at their core, and is doing so on a national stage for the sake of humiliating someone in front of their peers". For what, "Good TV?". I feel like some people really need to self reflect on why they enjoy that type of stuff and think about the very real human being that is being led to the slaughter for your "Good TV".
@@eric7798 (I'm assuming you mean this in defense of Luxx, if not and I am misconstruing I apologize) Of course she's allowed to say her opinion. But if I go up to a person on the street wearing an outfit I don't like and say "You look ugly as hell, your outfit is nasty, and you should be embarrassed to even show your face in public" then I am sharing my opinion, sure, but it still makes me look like an absolute asshole who's just trying to bully someone I don't care for.
Did no one catch that Sasha totally bombed the lip sync when she was in green dress? Like the editors full on left a line in that she did NOT remember right. Also she should've worn the batting gloves as well for her outfit to be a 5/5 flames.
The first thing I noticed during the last half of the Rusical was that Loosey was intentionally being cut out of frame. Look back before Mistress's reveal, and you'll see Lucy cut out from the side during the whole dance sequence. She was "lost" because she was cut 😭
Surprised that Luxx isn't anyone's favorite look this week?! It's definitely the most original and conceptual look up there this episode and it's gorgeous!
Even tho Luxx gets on my nerves with her cockiness, she is super cute. I think she paints her mug super pretty too. She has lots of room for growth and one day she will be an amazing superstar. B/c she is already a star. I do like she takes chances tho.
Idk if she looked horrible or unprofessional. I actually don’t think she looked either of those things. She’s a drag queen and part of the job is saying things like this; crass, direct, shady, pointed. Etc
@@akeemrollins2327 eh despite her not doing well on drag race I liked her, she just never hit the mark with the runways. I think she’s a queen who is good at drag just not drag race. To me this makes her seem more of a over dramatic cry baby. I’d say make the most of your 15 minutes not burn bridges 🤷🏻♀️🙈
Sasha is the total package 📦 and Anetra just can't do any wrong in my eyes 👀!! If there ever was a season that deserves a double win, it's this one. I literally can't pick between the two ❤
The bullying of loosey in this episode was really hard to watch, and lux's entitlement is really off-putting. (decides she is having the main role - gets given it - decides she doesn't want it - tells selina she's taking her role instead?)
I mean, it’s her personality this entire season. I’m furious that Lucy is being given this delusional edit and luxx is doing exactly the same thing but everyone is chill with it.
Does anyone else suspect that might have been a production intervention? Just seemed so weird that she fought so hard and then backed down out of nowhere
really thougt that lossey would win and the critique from michelle reminded me of the critiques toward tina burner when they both carried the whole rusical
Loosey is by far my favorite girl, but even I thought Loosey would win the Rusical. I knew they were gonna do some riggery when they kept showing the judges in awe during Anetra's number.
I really thought they were going to tell Mistress that her performance needed more "levels" or "highs and lows", like they've said to so many queens over the years.
To be fair it seemed like Mistress disappeared just like Loosey did, they just didn't show it. I would have liked to see Mistress vs loosey in the end.
@@leigha2814 I would have as well. It would have been a really interesting conclusion to their ongoing tension (which, by the way, made me super uncomfortable sometimes. Not sure if it was just edited to seem like Loosey was being antagonized versus being playful banter, but yikes)
As someone who was bullied it’s been upsetting all season watching Mistress just pick pick pick at Lucy. Once she draws figurative blood with a reaction Lux jumps in as well, it really is bullying behavior. Mistress likes pushing peoples buttons, like when she told Spice to talk shit to someone just to sit back and enjoy what happens.
@@SH-sq6pz Seriously. If she did it once then I'd let it go, but it's every time Loosey says anything. And if Mistress wants to call Loosey fake, maybe find out why she feels the need to present herself so perfectly instead of just continuing to criticize. Maybe with the longer edits we'll get fuller interactions
Mistress blew me away in this performance. It was giving Professor Umbridge/Miss Trumpbull vibes. Her character was fully thought out and realized, she's really just a star.
Mistress' look for me was my fav she's done so far. I don't know if this was also to play homage to Texas because of the "Yellow Rose of Texas" song, but she killed it for me (but I do prefer Lux and Sasha's looks overall in this challenge because of the creativity). For me personally, I think for the Rusical it was neck and neck and I couldn't pick a fav. However, I honestly wasn't surprised by the winner and bottom 2 though because of how the editing has been for this episode and overall season. I also wasn't surprised that Salina was sent home either because I think the producers weren't done messing with Loosey, who I legit feel bad for. Plus I think Lux's commentary on each queen pretty much solidified Loosey staying too purely because I think the producers want to see more fallout between Loosey and Lux in the next episode. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if next week Loosey and Lux ended up in the bottom 2 to see that rivalry come to a head. Like I've said before though, I could be totally wrong, these are just my theories. Regardless next week I am hyped that the Makeover challenge is back it's always one of my fav challenges (Maxi or mini). Also I feel bad that RUclips is being a pain again for you Bussy.
MIB, final 5 is going to be the most memorable of this cast for me along with the twins and Malaysia. Girls like Luxx are a dime a dozen, tho. Symone was special and unique. Luxx was great but didnt blow me away like MIB game playing or Sasha's style or Anetra's performances.
I think that the Anetra Solo was so touching, And the back story in the werkroom. I think that clinched the deal. Lucy did great and I could have seen her in to for that too. But gurrrl, that creature was a good concept but never crawled out of the swamp LOL And Yes, I prefer the gals singing. Oddly, it was hard to see that Sacha's outfit was baseball gloves at first, then she explained it and then I got it. But tha'ts the fault of seeing in on TV instead of being there. She always looks great and when I did get it it was awesome. Mistress looked amazing, but I didn't get glove. Yes she was wearing them, but it wasn't anywhere near the main focus.
The main thing for me is that queens’ vocals are preferable because it puts more of their fate in their own hands. It makes it more compelling when queens are sinking or swimming on their own abilities, and especially given how much characterization in a musical comes from the singers themselves, I think it kinda hinders them when the recorded audio doesn’t match how they’re trying to portray their characters. A queen who gets a recording that doesn’t match her is disadvantaged because she has to work that much harder to sell the fantasy, and a queen who gets a strong recording that suits her well is at an advantage because she doesn’t have to take it as far to get it across the finish line. If it were pure singing and they were just lipsyncing lyrics, I don’t think it’d be as much of an issue to me, but when the speaking parts are also recorded it just leaves rusicals feeling like they’re on a track to a pre-selected outcome. If it’s meant to be an acting challenge - and rusicals are usually treated as acting challenges - then queens should be allowed and expected to actually act in them, and speech is a big part of that.
Maybe I'm the one who's caught in the Loosey LaDuca 'LaDution' TM (I loved that) but I've been wondering this season if it's just me or production really messed up the order of the challenges and/or the choices of which queens would make them more entertaining, when making choices between similar challenge performance outcomes. Very often I feel like a) they've stuck themselves into a corner with the end result of a challenge and can't choose a clear winner or clear bottom, which the shorter episodes made more evident due to the lack of deliberation on camera b) people end up lamenting the loss of a queen that would have made the performance different, more frequently than in other seasons (Irene for Snatch Game, Sugar for the design challenge, Amethyst for Daytona Wind, Aura for the Lalaparuza, Marcia for the Rusical, are some I've read about in comments and discussions) I mean, I'm not saying that they should just save people for the sake of it but this season it's happened more than ever that challenges are placed in weird spots of the competition and people lament the loss of queens that could have changed some of the stakes in the judging, while having performances that are so similar that's difficult to justify some of the placements (especially now that runway only counts if they really have nothing else to go for, or it's a design challenge).
I feel bad about the comments made regarding salinas look, it was fun, camp and draggy screaming gloves whereas luxx had a fun idea for gloves but essentially was wearing an outfit you could find on shein, other times that would be called pedestrian yet they pretty much loved it, think they wanted Salina gone honestly 😬
@@leandromv170 completely agree, salinas look wasn’t bad at all it was fun and camp and literally had huge gloves, her and mistress did big glam drag looks, I feel luxx has gotten a few passes on the runway personally as I find her looks to be very similar to previous contestants I don’t think they are bad by any means but we’ve heard queens get criticised for having a look that’s been “done before” this isn’t a bashing of luxx I’m just pointing out inconsistencies with judging and how they’ve been harder on other queens 😬
Rhe music is hard to do when you (the artist) lacks knowledge about a very specific time and space in history. Plus.. kate bush is really hard to understand because she leaves her bodywork ermetic and very mental
I totally agree with you about the lip sync! I actually kind of loved Selena's metaphor glove moment and thought she should have won because of it. I was really happy you mentioned it! But... producers do what producers do and decided it was her time to go! 😢❤
I'm not generally a fan of Loosey but she did so well here! (for the musical, not the runway). I'm gonna miss Salina, she was becoming one of my faves honestly, she's so fun to watch!
I think for this episode, vocals from the queens would have give more authentic bottom placements. It just adds a layer of judging to the Rusical that would make which queens who should be in the bottom more apparent. Because as you said, at this point everyone can dance, act and lipsync. I also don't think Salina should have gone home based soley on the lipsync. She was good and I understand her feeling very attacked although I don't think Ross is the problem necessarily. I wish they'd to do a lipsync royale to see who gets to come back. So many great performers this season. But I doubt since we had the smackdown already.
I love watching something while I eat, and Bussy Queen's videos are one of my go-to's. And I get so excited when I have a delicious meal to eat and a new episode of Bussy. When I don't have a new episode, I might as well starvvvve.😔

Rusicals are usually cringe no matter what.
Rebrand ... it worked for madonna 😅
i defy anyone to pull a better performance than Rose.
THAT was actual Broadway level. Just her 'rain on my parade' run alone was better than any other performance past, present or future.
I really like Anetra but THIS was a whole lot of fu*kery by the judges to not give Loosey a win & then put her in the bottom!? Girl bye.
Also - if Sasha was lip syncing this song - could have been epic vs. mediocre.
This one was my favorite. It's the only one really that doesn't feel like a series of separate music videos but an actual stage play with an actual plot. Mostly because the plot is borrowed I guess 😂, but nevertheless it was fun to watch
Madonna and Rats❤❤
Still can't accept that Marcia had to leave right before the rusical 😭
I would crack if they did that to me!
Yeah but personally I would rather see Marcia record a song from the musical then lipsync to a song pre recorded like this one
Not like it matters, though, since it's just a lipsync? She's a phenomenal lipsyncer, but as the episode proved, having theater experience didn't matter.
I know!!!! 😢😢
She would of done SO well! 👏👏👏
I think we need to start a drinking game for each time that the word "era" or "delusional" is said, take a shot. LOL!!

“Why is he even on the judges panel he’s not even hilarious?!?” Salina 😭
and she's right XD
Speaking out what everybody has been thinking for a decade now. Ross is a friendly but entirely unqualified and superfluous seat-filler, who is neither funny, nor does he know anything about fashion or has noteworthy drag experience... He is just there. The best I can say about him is that he only rarely makes the show worse.
I did not think I could grow this tired of someone who is so just blah.
He is the tasteless storebrand vanilla ice cream of the Drag Race franchise.
I can't wait for RuPaul to introduce "the not even hilarious Ross Mathews!"

neither she is. And her drag needs some love

Except the runways.
@@Lisa-kf4iu runway rarely matters, unless they want to push someone all the way down to the bottom
honestly i get what Salina was saying, it was a forced critique imo. didn't notice the glove? really?
Definitely a forced critique for the narrative push of her elimination. We've heard from queens across franchises that the judges basically HAVE to give positive AND negative critiques so the editors have footage for whatever narrative they need to tell.
@@BussyQueen oh 1000%, reminds me of Dakota on UK4. they pushed jonbers so far for no reason, and sent Dakota home on a week where she was top 2/3
ross was most definitely joking when he said that about the gloves, hence why rupaul cackled after he said that. it’s to emphasize how “bad/distracting” the jumpsuit was. not that i’m agreeing with him bc i do think salina would always get critiqued super harshly but he wasn’t serious with that comment
@juldey99 well i think even as a joke i think as a finisher for Salina's runway looks, cos that too much comment is something that's always given to her. In this case those big ass gloves are impossible to miss that even as a joke I'd be like "are you fkn frl"😂 so i get Salina here
I thought this was one of Salina’s best runway looks of the season.
i am not a loose fan and i was gagged she wasnt in the top she did so well i honestly belive the same as you that they are just trying to break her psyche. From what ive seen the show does not consider her a winner, i wouldnt be shocked if they eliminate her on some bs critiques next week
I won’t either, they’re going to give her the “let’s break the try hard” for the emotional reaction Jan elimination.
The makeover challenge is next and it's always rigged as hell, so you're probably right
everyone did great and Loosy's look was garbage, her bottom placement was logical
@@gyosob7265 agree that look was the worst!
Everyone did great but her runway was awful. Same with Salina.
I really thought Loosy secured the win, until she walked out on the Runway 😂
agreed hahaha
It’s funny how many times runways doesn’t matter unless it fits into whatever storyline they are trying to pull off.
@@jaf22_2 it's not that deep. If everyone does good in challenge, then the runway determines the outcome. If people do poorly in the challenge, then it holds more weight. Not a very complicated concept

The RuPaul “born to do drag” comment is now giving me the same energy as a Paul Hollywood handshake on GBBO lmfao
the way I TURNED AND YELLED THIS at my partner when ru said it
Absolutely! Or a ding dong on GlowUp
I dont think the producers even made a more shady edit of a queen then what they are doing of Loosey, they are literally trying to push her as far as they can to see her crack and honestly it's starting to make me feel unconfortable watching this season. I'm kind of appaled by the fan base just jumping on her as well and no one seems to really be calling out the bullying and bad edit she's getting. Fairly certain that if she'd be another kind of queen, people would be up in arms to defend her...
It’s psychological warfare at this point.
This this this!! I’m pretty horrified by how hard people are going in on loosey she isn’t my fav but productions and fans are being vice to her
It’s their way of doing the villain edit without doing the villain edit so they can wash their hands and have deniability when people send her death threats. It’s appalling, IMO.
Yea like at first i found it amusing cuz "oooo dramaaa", but now it actually feels like bullying
I mean, she's giving them those moments and dialogues and she's letting the others show she's affected by her criticism, and she's so fucking eager to prove she's good to the point that she's counting mini challenge wins. You can't put those words into her mouth. The only shady thing the production is doing is showcase ONLY those moments when I'm sure there are lots of other moments where Loosey is nice. But nice don't make no TV show, she should know after 14 seasons...
I was really able to relate to Loosey and her attitude in this episode when she spoke again about her history with bullying. Dealing with being bullied and an outcast at a young age, I also internalized that the only way I could be appreciated was by being the best. I can see how that would translate in a competitive setting and imagine I would act in much the same way as she is.
Honestly, the judges were not too kind to Salina this season and I think watching it now and reliving it is causing her to have the very valid feelings she’s experiencing. I wish her so much success in the future. She deserves it!
I just wish she didn't talk like that about a judge, she's better than that :(
I guess she entered her Saltina era
Agreed but she’s going through a lot right now especially with her mom passing. I’m sure she’ll feel differently even a year from now when her career takes off and her emotions (while valid) have settled a bit
salina got lucky that she had so much screentime despite being relatively talentless tbh.
@@Emile.gorgonZola You can not like a queen on the show but to say she is untalented is just untrue if she truly wasn’t talented she would have never even got on the show in the first place let’s not do this
Oh very much all her cultural representation was completely over looked.
Not a fan of Loosey, but felt bad for her this episode
Same.I love shade and a good kiki. Love the first 6 seasons. But with Luxx many times it feels like she's degrading Lucy and not shading or ribbing. Like Mistress most times feels just shady. Idk.
@@bexxgenx3165 I agree, Luxx’s shade seems malicious and destructive. Mistress has more fun with her shade. Poor Loosey, she has been done dirty by production and contestants alike.
Don’t feel like they were mean but they could’ve been nicer to her, they already knew that loosey experiences reality a little differently. She isn’t trying to be rude, she really is just that delusional. I really hope some of the girls come around after the episode aired and we all got to find out that according to her confessionals the delusions are a coping mechanism for her.
@@bexxgenx3165 degrading loosey? you people need to let loose. yall are the reason you have queens getting death threats. Everybody in the room acknowledged it wasn’t bullying like ???
@@ingGS done dirty? She’s delusional and I can’t wait til the footage of her racist jokes at the club back home come out
I really feel for Loosey. I wish she would express to Mistress and Luxx how their comments make her feel, like how she told Salina. It sucks having to be the butt of every joke and people not taking you seriously.
she did express it, she literally starts to tear up and everything. i really dislike myself for taking so long to get her, i had to listen her say how it made her feel like when she was a kid and everyone mocked everything she did for me to say "naw shit, i get you and im so sorry". i know mistress is playing around with her, it is funny ngl, but when you see how affected she is, girl just leave her alone because the joy you get in seeing someone get riled up and stressed turns your action into bullying.
Anetra's performance in the challenge was just breath taking for me. I think she looked good on the runway it wasn't up to the level of sasha or mib but I think the performance deserved the win. It may have just resonated with me more because it reminds me of someone in my own life but still she executed the role flawlessly and I felt it.
I was lowkey kinda shocked my sashas makeup??? I know she probably just kept it from the rusical, but i though it made her look a little crazy in the baseball glove outfit
I was shocked she did not seem to know her dialogue.
Ngl, i kinda like it, give a rugged baseball vibe
I feel like the bottom was just based off of the "who should go home" and the runway, because everybody did such an amazing job with the rusical that nobody should been in the bottom based on that. (also the fact that Marciax3 went home before the rusical episode made me laugh and confused at the same time.)
You are not wrong. Loosey is being really unfairly treated. She can't win no matter what she does. The writing is on the wall. 😔
What about the last two maxi wins and multiple mini wins
@arielwilliams6071 Yeah, but the judges are being rough on her, and she's getting "the edit. "
She’s literally not being true to herself & they can feel that, why Michelle said she’s a workaholic! The other queens are enjoying being in the moment & it shows! I’ve nothing against her but wish she’d chill out so I could get into her!
@@darkangellew but why is being driven and "overachiever" so judged on this show? Whenever a queen wants it and works for it like crazy it is, yeah not ok, be happier we will be cold to you but be more relaxed. Is that an American thing? To not like people who try the harders?
@@elisasegal8153 I agree. This is the edit that Thorgy got too. The "they're too in their head to win, but look how talented they are" edit. You know Ru hates an anxious queen LOL
I actually really loved Salina's runway and it reminded me of HIM from Powerpuff Girls.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who though of HIM. 😍
I did too it looked more original than everyone else's (besides Sasha ofc) and I'm surprised everyone hates it lmao
@@spikey961 Love the idea and originality but the colors are giving expired ketchup mayonaise
After Loosey opening up here and performing amazing these past few episodes, these constant confessionals of “Loosey isn’t doing as good as she thinks she is” is really disingenuous
Like, she’s speaking her mind and she’s vocal. We’re praising mistress for the same thing, but as soon as someone shows a sign of being actually affected by the words of their castmates, they’re “delusional” and a villain. Michelle’s critique incited actual anger in me because I’m really tired of these bs “critiques” where they’d rather continuously beat down a queen who’s already getting so much hate in such a vulnerable state than be actually helpful on how she can make her drag more compelling
Anyways, I loved this episode and it’s my fav so far❤
The real bullshit is production supplies the queens hair and outfits for the Rusical. So for Michelle to say her look didn’t stand out when she changed into girl drag is just some shit to rationalize putting her into the bottom.
@@SH-sq6pz Her look put her in the bottom point blank period. They all did great in the rusical but Loosey n Salina had the worst looks on the runway by far. Let’s stop doing somersaults trying to defend the undefendable.
@Juriji-Hime Loosey's runway had a clear concept, perfectly executed. Polished, clean, camp. Anetra's runway was miles worse than everyone else, you are as delusional as the queens if you think Loosey had the worst runway.
I mean, even Luxx was wearing a black pair of pants and an ill-fitted t-shirt with puffy paint on it...
@@matthewlucas4990 Correct! If it had fit the Narrative of the Week, they would've put Anetra in the bottom. I can already hear Michelle saying, "This is just a bra and panties under a shear body suit with some lights. Not nearly as detailed as Loosey's. But it DID NOT fit the narrative and BOOM, Anetra WINS????
@@matthewlucas4990 Me delusional? While you’re saying Luxx’s outfit was ill fitting and in the same comment saying Loosey’s had a clear concept? polished n clean? Good god girl get a grip! It was mediocre at best. She had a ill fitting bathing suit that resembled nothing of what she was talking about. That just tells me the taste level you have so I’m done with this conversation. Have a blessed day 👋🏽👋🏽
I still believe that if anyone else wore Salina's look the judge's would have eaten that shit up
It was sloppy imo. At this stage in the competition you *need* to be sending it 100% not 90. The idea was good, Salina’s execution wasn’t great.
Ross even said he would have liked it with a black glove.
@@JaimeLoflin he said he would've loved it with a black bodysuit. and he was wrong
aka Sasha Colby
@@user-kx6fw8ub9g I don't think she would ever wear that much clothing by choice 😂
I thought it was going to be a double elimination TBH, but if I had to choose a winner of the lip sync, Selena Estitties had more emotion and was a smidge better. That is definitely a hard song to lip sync to, especially with such a huge stage.
I was worried at first she was going comedic with it, but then she did pure emotion like Loosey, and Salina won it a bit for me taking the gloves off at the end and making that emotional somehow. I do wish I could have seen a queen like Marcia do that song and put some modern dance into the instrumental part.
It might be a difficult number from an American drag style performance POV. If you know Kate Bush's style and influences i.e Lindsay Kemp, the number is not a hard one to perform.
Girl what...
Same neither really did it for me but I saw a bit more heart in Salina’s performance. Plus given that loosey has shown some super jush monster looks before, this sea monster/creature from the lagoon look was VERY underwhelming.
I completely agree with u
If Marcia was in the rusical she would of gotten the main role .then when it was time to go from boy drag to girl drag they would of told her she looked the same ,placed her in the bottom ,and then sent her home anyway 😂
I was so sad this episode, it just feels like Loosey was getting bullied over and over. She did so well and she is trying to be so polite and proper with the other girls and with what she says and they still gang up on anything she says.
I love mistress and luxx but the line between playful jabs and bullying has became thin with those two.
Bussy Queen, I am in my insomnia era. I enjoyed the Rusical. It's message is very timely and relevant.
I'm in my preparing my video to go live at 4AM again era. Lol. Yes- loved the timeliness of this rusical. I think it must have been conceptualized when the topic of drag bans became a hot button issue and we even saw channels like Girl Defined discussing it last year. Sad that here we are a year later with this still being pushed!
@@BussyQueen we have to stick together and fight. The chola in me always is up for a good fight.
I think that we HAVE to be aware that the producers are doing everything in their power to not only break Loosey but also to make her dislakable even tho she is RIGHT!
I personally don't like Luxx cuz she has thos tendency of putting down others to lift herself whereas Mistress shade feels real and funny.
I think that the producers saw Loosey flopping on the 1st episode and since then, they've tried everything to create a Jan situation, which they have done.
To me, this season has been as bad as S13. Irene going 1st, Luxx being mean to everyone to show her "confidence", Jaxx being in the bottom for no reason, treating Loosey like a crazy person, Spice sent home even tho she didn't do bad, 40 mins episode to promote a shitty rich people show....
Its such a shame cuz this has been one of the best casts in years but production just destroyed it for the lulz
OMFG Bussy, I'm dying at the water thing. I struggle with like near constant dehyration for some reason and my husband has taken to bringing me glasses of water throughout the day and firmly telling me to chug it NOW! It actually has helped me a lot so I'm trying to keep it up. I guess he's in his water dom era and we love to see it lol
I wouldn't mind a wine bottoming era though haha

As bomb as this rusical was, I fully understand why Anetra got the win over the competitors.
It was the way she delivered that prerecorded ballad. For me she was the only one that delivered their lyrics as if it had come from her own mind and put it to paper.
This now marks the second time that I believe Loosey lost a challenge because of her runway - remember the Beyonce runway. Loosey slayed in this challenge and for Michelle to make that comment about Loosey (when I don't think she even had any speaking/solo singing lines in that last quarter of the Rusical) was wild!
Right- it’s such a mixed bag on how they say what does and doesn’t count! Seems like the bottom 2 this episode was based on the queens picks? Salina and Loosey had the most votes from the other queens.
@@BussyQueen My daughter said the same thing. If we look at the runways, Loosey and Anetra had the worst in my opinion, but Loosey and Anetra did the best in the challenge, with Mistress close behind.
If I am being honest, they should have sent home Spice and Salina weeks ago for that terrible lip-sync and then this could've been a lip-sync for the win. This way Marcia would've had her moment to shine in the Rusical as is right and proper.😀
With more money she likely will perform very well on allstars but I think the producers gave her such a bad edit that she's not gunna ve "popular" enough for it...
@@spikey961 I'm imagining a world where Sasha wins S15 and they bring back Loosey and Mistress for All Stars drama.
@@kimcapri9178 I think if Loosey had on something killer, they could've given her the deserved win and then put Luxx in the bottom knowing that they were going to send Selina home due to track record. Remember, everyone did great, so they could've said although Luxx did good in the challenge, her outfit (while cool) didn't truly fit the assignment.
Let's be honest, they say whatever they want to say. I mean Ross had the nerve to say that he didn't even see Selina's gloves because her outfit was too busy?!? Like stop trying to gaslight us.
Production manipulation aside, I genuinely believe all the queens did so well this episode that it truly came down to “the question” and the runways, which were both Loosey and Salina. I will add that they both had my favorite performances in the rusical (along with Luxx) so it was hard seeing them in the bottom.
Such an unfair episode. Both Loosey and Salina did great, plus how the F they could not see the GIANT gloves in Salina’s outfit??? Smh.. 😠.
And what about Anetra’s? She’s my favorite but her outfit missed the category completely.
Exactly. A pecking order was established. We just don't know when or why or how.
Exactly
Did anyone else notice that Sasha’s dialogue sync was off at times?
This episode... gurl. Production put in their big girl production pants. Salina was one of the best in the Rusical, and she was in it from beginning to end, while always making sure to be present even when the spotlight wasn't on her. Luxx basically faded into the background for most of it other than her two small moments. Her time was up for this episode, so only way to put her in the bottom was with the question of all questions: Who should go home? And yes, based on track record with 3 bottoms and no wins, yes, she should be going home...
I agree. Salina really shone and had a lot of charisma in the Rusical. My eyes kept going to her. And I agree unless Luxx was doing a solo, she faded compared to some other queens.
@@ladyreverie7027 I do believe Luxx did fine in the Rusical but others did better.
The writing was on the wall for Salina even before the challenge. Ru's walkthrough: "Anetra tell me your trauma and story. Wow, yes drag is powerful and you were born to do drag."
"Sasha, tell me more of your life's story. You are so important. Thank you."
"Salina, what's up?"
Salina: "Well Ru, I feel like I havent been given a fair shot to shine. And it's hurt my confidence."
Ru: " Yeah, ok. Moving on."
LMAOO “He’s not even hillarious” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Salina is so funny
I hope Salina comes back. I love her so much. My heart breaks for her.
Gurl, I've seen enough of these to know that after you chugged that Waterloo Black Cherry, a huge burp was coming and you did NOT disappoint! 😂 Also, they really screwed Loosey over with that costume! She looked like a ten year old covered in tattoos! Another great episode BQ! aka She Who Must Not Be Named! ❣
I was getting serious Dear Evan Hansen movie vibes from the way they dressed poor Loosey
I was getting "drake bell/Timmy Turner"
It was so nostalgic tho
@@db7499 nailed it.
Yes. And Loosey’s part two costume was terrible. It was a folk dance print for goodness sake.
Salina EsAnnoying... girl, the looks were Captain Crunch for every runway
I thiiiiiiink Salina should’ve waited till the contract/nda ran out to go off like that 😅
At this point the tagline gaslight , gatekeep, girlboss era should be a thing
this cast is for real so good, curious questionable runway looks but the talent is there, which is what matters the most after all. this rusical was good GOOD, everyone did so well. i feel like it's the first time in years that i don't know who to really root for for the crown. i'm in my confused era.
ps: not the comparison to the teletubbies sun baby lmfaoooooooo
I am so baffled and disappointed by Loosey's edit. Having worked with her in the CT drag scene, my impression of her was always that she is exceptionally professional, kind, and stays out of drama. When I heard she was cast I was like, "Oh my god people are going to love her." CT people have joked about how she should be on the drag race/"why isn't she on drag race yet" for a really long time, so that might be feeding into the hunger and pressure she has on herself. On the show, she is definitely coming across too defensive/generally taking things too personally and that's from what she's saying, not the edit. But she's not delusional.
Loosey is genuinely doing SO well in the competition and is super talented and versatile. I will agree that her runways have been lacking at times (especially the Beyonce one). But she makes so much of her own drag, which is something I miss from earlier seasons and the drag scene as a whole. I feel like the producers are snubbing her to keep her frustrated and to feed into the character they've decided on. I really hope that enough of the fanbase can see through the edit and recognize how great she is so she can get an All Stars opportunity.
Someone forgot to remind Luxx that it was a glove runway, not a sleeve runway.
Me wondering if Ross did something else too cause it seemed a lot but I hope she feels more appreciated now tho. Ok one thing I know is that I do not want to live in a world where you aren’t on my screen every week. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and vibes with us!
Loosey was definitely the winner for me. She brought so much emotion to her lipsynch as boy Heaven. She damn near brought me to tears.
I enjoyed everyone's performance tbh, but I thought Loosey really was the emotional heart of the rusical
I'll rewatch it, b/c I was desperately trying to feel something for Heaven but nope.
@@kimcapri9178 It honestly might have just been my emotions about all of the hateful anti-drag state legislation being proposed and passed lately. I might have been projecting my feelings onto more than what was there
@@iCodeSwitch I hate this pendulum swinging back into the dark ages too. I support freedom of expression, arts and entertainment. Drag Queens have the damn right to express themselves and love themselves and each other!! Grrrrr I hate hate. 😮💨 I guess that sounds moronic. 😭
Luxx literally going down the line of queens during the critiques will never not be iconic and hilarious lmao
I lived! 😂 she gave a whole essay😭😭
They are trying to break Loosey's mind and they're DEFINITELY gonna boot her next episode b/c to get rid of her right before the finale? Yup. They gonna do her so dirty. I can't wait to see what the Ru-union has in store b/c Salina and Ru are gonna fight when Ru calls out Salina (which she will) and Loosey with her edit.
They do tend to use the makeover to make the weirdest judging choices to fit the narrative, and the judging has been crazy already this season.
Nah I'm with Selena, how u not notice big ass gloves, this season's judging critiques got me messed up.
Whenever Ru asks the question "Who should go home and why?" is it usually because the judges actually cannot decide on who should be in the bottom. So the fact that the answers from the other Queens were Loosey and Salina that sealed the deal. The only other way to judge was based on the runway and again Loosey and Salina had the weakest looks along with Anetra who they clearly gave the highest praise to for making them feel something during the Rusical. So she gets top and they get bottom. Didn't seem too far fetched to me.
What this show is doing to Loosey is genuinely gross and uncomfortable to watch. The gaslighting is real. We've already seen her crack by breaking down being reminded of when she was bullied as a teen because of Luxx and Mistress (And it's bullying, period) yet they're still trying to tear her down in favor of the Mean Girls. Over it tbh.
My mouth was dropped this entire production! It was sooo good! I loved everyone in it.
That's why I love Season 4 of UKs Rusical so much! It was their own vocals and it really added to their characters
I’m surprised Salina lasted as long as she did honestly. Should’ve seen the back of her long ago.
I think Salina needs to do some damage control. Got to remember, this show can launch your career and obtain future bookings to clubs and other appearances. Don't blow it unless money and reputation means nothing to you
no, somebody had to say that. The judging is a mess and she is spot on with everything she said about that unfunnfy tanned muppet who to this day has ZERO qualifications that would allow him to competently judge drag queens. Ross Matthews should have never been hired for this show.
I mean, she is friends with Frankie and possibly Ariana - she'll be fine😅 but I know what you are talking about. I wonder if AllStars would be possible. I love Salina and I want to see her more!
sasha's look for this runway reminded me of symone's outfit in the finale lip sync, it was made of deconstructed timberland boots! i love these deconstruct+reconstruct kind of oufits, so creative!
Drinking game: Take a shot every time Bussy says Era
I was also hoping that Salina’s look was an Everything Everywhere All at Once reference. Her mentioning hot dog fingers on top of the fact that it was kinda giving Jobu wearing Alexander wang in an Estitties kinda way
it should have been Loosey's third win. at this point, there's nothing they can say that will sound reasonable to put her at the bottom when she's doing that great. the producers and the other queens are just being mean and calling Loosey crazy because they can't deny her talent, and the fans are going along. smh
We really did not watch the same Rusical because I thought she was bottom 2 for sure. She did not bring enough character.
salina not getting that all star invite
Also am I the only one who sees what Luxx said to Loosey and thought "Wow, this person is twisting a knife inside another person by not just attacking their performance in the competition, but is attacking their drag at their core, and is doing so on a national stage for the sake of humiliating someone in front of their peers". For what, "Good TV?". I feel like some people really need to self reflect on why they enjoy that type of stuff and think about the very real human being that is being led to the slaughter for your "Good TV".
well said.
Honestly Luxx is just an asshole lol I swear listening to her speak gives me flashbacks to being bullied in middle school
So what? You cannot say your opinion now? She really insisted it was just how she saw it.
@@eric7798 (I'm assuming you mean this in defense of Luxx, if not and I am misconstruing I apologize)
Of course she's allowed to say her opinion. But if I go up to a person on the street wearing an outfit I don't like and say "You look ugly as hell, your outfit is nasty, and you should be embarrassed to even show your face in public" then I am sharing my opinion, sure, but it still makes me look like an absolute asshole who's just trying to bully someone I don't care for.
Did no one catch that Sasha totally bombed the lip sync when she was in green dress? Like the editors full on left a line in that she did NOT remember right. Also she should've worn the batting gloves as well for her outfit to be a 5/5 flames.
The first thing I noticed during the last half of the Rusical was that Loosey was intentionally being cut out of frame. Look back before Mistress's reveal, and you'll see Lucy cut out from the side during the whole dance sequence. She was "lost" because she was cut 😭
Luxx in her casts made me die, because it looks exactly how I looked when I broke both my arms at the same time when I was like 8yrs old hahaha 😆 😂 😅
Surprised that Luxx isn't anyone's favorite look this week?! It's definitely the most original and conceptual look up there this episode and it's gorgeous!
I liked a lot of the looks, but the only outfits where I would have gotten the category were Salina and Sasha
It was such a bad runway category and IMO the worst runway of the season.
Luxx admitted her wig was from Mistress’ Destiny’s child puppet 😂😂😂
Even tho Luxx gets on my nerves with her cockiness, she is super cute. I think she paints her mug super pretty too. She has lots of room for growth and one day she will be an amazing superstar. B/c she is already a star. I do like she takes chances tho.
Sustainability is important children. Upcycle & recycle 😅💯💯
I don’t even know what Salina is so pressed about. It wasn’t even that bad. And it makes her look horrible and unprofessional.
not in my eyes. Unprofessional is what happens on that judges panel that is long overdue for a big changeup (retire Ross and Michelle!)
She sounded drunk
PERIOD...🎯
Idk if she looked horrible or unprofessional. I actually don’t think she looked either of those things. She’s a drag queen and part of the job is saying things like this; crass, direct, shady, pointed. Etc
@@akeemrollins2327 eh despite her not doing well on drag race I liked her, she just never hit the mark with the runways. I think she’s a queen who is good at drag just not drag race. To me this makes her seem more of a over dramatic cry baby. I’d say make the most of your 15 minutes not burn bridges 🤷🏻♀️🙈
Luxx secured her spot in the top 4 with her speech. I’m so excited for this finale
Couldn’t agree more, the top 4 is looking geeeeewd 😩❤️❤️❤️❤️ ( I personally don’t see loosey in this top 4 btw)
Sasha is the total package 📦 and Anetra just can't do any wrong in my eyes 👀!! If there ever was a season that deserves a double win, it's this one. I literally can't pick between the two ❤
Loosey as Heaven in boy drag looked like Timmy Turner
I feel so bad for Loosey because she's getting thrashed by the queens, the judges, the edit, and the "fans"
The bullying of loosey in this episode was really hard to watch, and lux's entitlement is really off-putting. (decides she is having the main role - gets given it - decides she doesn't want it - tells selina she's taking her role instead?)
I mean, it’s her personality this entire season. I’m furious that Lucy is being given this delusional edit and luxx is doing exactly the same thing but everyone is chill with it.
shes young and skinny and fans eat that up 🤷♀
Yup. Luxx and Mistress were my favorites, but the way they’ve been gaslighting and lowkey bullying Loosey is pissing me off.
luxx don't deny that she is overconfident and entitled unlike someone else
Does anyone else suspect that might have been a production intervention? Just seemed so weird that she fought so hard and then backed down out of nowhere
really thougt that lossey would win and the critique from michelle reminded me of the critiques toward tina burner when they both carried the whole rusical
Loosey is by far my favorite girl, but even I thought Loosey would win the Rusical. I knew they were gonna do some riggery when they kept showing the judges in awe during Anetra's number.
I think you mean “loosey is far from” not “by far,” right?
I feel like the voices for each character sounded a surprising amount like each queen who played it
In my head, Loosey was singing her part, same with Luxx. The only one who obviously was lip syncing to a different voice was Mistress.
Except Mistress lol
I really thought they were going to tell Mistress that her performance needed more "levels" or "highs and lows", like they've said to so many queens over the years.
To be fair it seemed like Mistress disappeared just like Loosey did, they just didn't show it. I would have liked to see Mistress vs loosey in the end.
@@leigha2814 I would have as well. It would have been a really interesting conclusion to their ongoing tension (which, by the way, made me super uncomfortable sometimes. Not sure if it was just edited to seem like Loosey was being antagonized versus being playful banter, but yikes)
As someone who was bullied it’s been upsetting all season watching Mistress just pick pick pick at Lucy. Once she draws figurative blood with a reaction Lux jumps in as well, it really is bullying behavior. Mistress likes pushing peoples buttons, like when she told Spice to talk shit to someone just to sit back and enjoy what happens.
Don't worry guys, considering next week is the makeover a.k.a. the riggory episode, we're definitely getting a Mistress vs. Lucy lipsync
@@SH-sq6pz Seriously. If she did it once then I'd let it go, but it's every time Loosey says anything. And if Mistress wants to call Loosey fake, maybe find out why she feels the need to present herself so perfectly instead of just continuing to criticize. Maybe with the longer edits we'll get fuller interactions
Mistress blew me away in this performance. It was giving Professor Umbridge/Miss Trumpbull vibes. Her character was fully thought out and realized, she's really just a star.
Mistress's runway was the absolute favorite of the week for me. Everything about it was perfection
Loosey LaDuca deserves an apology, she did ABSOLUTELY amazing on the Rusical, it was a SLAY and a SERVE and she ATE.
Mistress' look for me was my fav she's done so far. I don't know if this was also to play homage to Texas because of the "Yellow Rose of Texas" song, but she killed it for me (but I do prefer Lux and Sasha's looks overall in this challenge because of the creativity).
For me personally, I think for the Rusical it was neck and neck and I couldn't pick a fav. However, I honestly wasn't surprised by the winner and bottom 2 though because of how the editing has been for this episode and overall season. I also wasn't surprised that Salina was sent home either because I think the producers weren't done messing with Loosey, who I legit feel bad for. Plus I think Lux's commentary on each queen pretty much solidified Loosey staying too purely because I think the producers want to see more fallout between Loosey and Lux in the next episode. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if next week Loosey and Lux ended up in the bottom 2 to see that rivalry come to a head. Like I've said before though, I could be totally wrong, these are just my theories.
Regardless next week I am hyped that the Makeover challenge is back it's always one of my fav challenges (Maxi or mini).
Also I feel bad that RUclips is being a pain again for you Bussy.
MIB, final 5 is going to be the most memorable of this cast for me along with the twins and Malaysia. Girls like Luxx are a dime a dozen, tho. Symone was special and unique. Luxx was great but didnt blow me away like MIB game playing or Sasha's style or Anetra's performances.
I think that the Anetra Solo was so touching, And the back story in the werkroom. I think that clinched the deal.
Lucy did great and I could have seen her in to for that too. But gurrrl, that creature was a good concept but never crawled out of the swamp LOL
And Yes, I prefer the gals singing.
Oddly, it was hard to see that Sacha's outfit was baseball gloves at first, then she explained it and then I got it. But tha'ts the fault of seeing in on TV instead of being there. She always looks great and when I did get it it was awesome.
Mistress looked amazing, but I didn't get glove. Yes she was wearing them, but it wasn't anywhere near the main focus.
I agree with her. Her drag was very south L.A and very Latin influenced. It got completely overlooked all competition.
The main thing for me is that queens’ vocals are preferable because it puts more of their fate in their own hands. It makes it more compelling when queens are sinking or swimming on their own abilities, and especially given how much characterization in a musical comes from the singers themselves, I think it kinda hinders them when the recorded audio doesn’t match how they’re trying to portray their characters. A queen who gets a recording that doesn’t match her is disadvantaged because she has to work that much harder to sell the fantasy, and a queen who gets a strong recording that suits her well is at an advantage because she doesn’t have to take it as far to get it across the finish line.
If it were pure singing and they were just lipsyncing lyrics, I don’t think it’d be as much of an issue to me, but when the speaking parts are also recorded it just leaves rusicals feeling like they’re on a track to a pre-selected outcome. If it’s meant to be an acting challenge - and rusicals are usually treated as acting challenges - then queens should be allowed and expected to actually act in them, and speech is a big part of that.
I'm enjoying the little behind the scenes extras, I'm here for the drag recap and the personality 😄
I did not see Anetra in the top, nor Loosey in the bottom. The editing became very obvious in this episode.
My ranking on the Maxi challenge :
Winner - Loosey
High - Sasha , Luxx and mistress
Safe - Anetra
Low- Salina
Runway looks rankings :
Winner - Sasha
High - Luxx , Mistress
Safe - Salina , Anetra
Low - Loosey
Maybe I'm the one who's caught in the Loosey LaDuca 'LaDution' TM (I loved that) but I've been wondering this season if it's just me or production really messed up the order of the challenges and/or the choices of which queens would make them more entertaining, when making choices between similar challenge performance outcomes.
Very often I feel like
a) they've stuck themselves into a corner with the end result of a challenge and can't choose a clear winner or clear bottom, which the shorter episodes made more evident due to the lack of deliberation on camera
b) people end up lamenting the loss of a queen that would have made the performance different, more frequently than in other seasons (Irene for Snatch Game, Sugar for the design challenge, Amethyst for Daytona Wind, Aura for the Lalaparuza, Marcia for the Rusical, are some I've read about in comments and discussions)
I mean, I'm not saying that they should just save people for the sake of it but this season it's happened more than ever that challenges are placed in weird spots of the competition and people lament the loss of queens that could have changed some of the stakes in the judging, while having performances that are so similar that's difficult to justify some of the placements (especially now that runway only counts if they really have nothing else to go for, or it's a design challenge).
Loosey was serving Timmy Turner realness. live action fairly odd parents whomst
This was the best “who do you think should go home?”!!!! Very well built up.
I'm so happy they've got back to real musical parody. The last 3 have been amazing! (but I wish they've sung live like Lairy Poppins).
maddona the rusical was a home run tho
I think if Loosey's runway outfit was more of a form fitting gown with a long seeweed train or something funky like that it would've been so good
I feel bad about the comments made regarding salinas look, it was fun, camp and draggy screaming gloves whereas luxx had a fun idea for gloves but essentially was wearing an outfit you could find on shein, other times that would be called pedestrian yet they pretty much loved it, think they wanted Salina gone honestly 😬
agree w all of this completely
Thank you! If Salina had worn Luxx's outfit, they would've questioned her taste level. Plus, it was 100% off topic.
@@leandromv170 completely agree, salinas look wasn’t bad at all it was fun and camp and literally had huge gloves, her and mistress did big glam drag looks, I feel luxx has gotten a few passes on the runway personally as I find her looks to be very similar to previous contestants I don’t think they are bad by any means but we’ve heard queens get criticised for having a look that’s been “done before” this isn’t a bashing of luxx I’m just pointing out inconsistencies with judging and how they’ve been harder on other queens 😬
@@antonybeney Agreed.
I rarely disagree with you Buss but to me that lip sync was a double elimination, that’s a hard song to do and none of them did it for me.
Rhe music is hard to do when you (the artist) lacks knowledge about a very specific time and space in history. Plus.. kate bush is really hard to understand because she leaves her bodywork ermetic and very mental
luxx’s look was cute but idk if it’d be considered gloves?? but sasha’s look is exactly what i wanted to see with the glove idea 🤌
Agree on both. Sasha always understands the assignment. Luxx wasn’t exactly on category lmao
I totally agree with you about the lip sync! I actually kind of loved Selena's metaphor glove moment and thought she should have won because of it. I was really happy you mentioned it! But... producers do what producers do and decided it was her time to go! 😢❤
Ru’s reaction to the lip sync tho made me cackle ru was so unenthusiastic she was not living I was creasing
How did Lux's casts match the glove theme? And boy, how could anyone do an amazing lipsynch to that song?
Ross wasn't being mean to Salina.
I'm not generally a fan of Loosey but she did so well here! (for the musical, not the runway). I'm gonna miss Salina, she was becoming one of my faves honestly, she's so fun to watch!
I think for this episode, vocals from the queens would have give more authentic bottom placements. It just adds a layer of judging to the Rusical that would make which queens who should be in the bottom more apparent. Because as you said, at this point everyone can dance, act and lipsync. I also don't think Salina should have gone home based soley on the lipsync. She was good and I understand her feeling very attacked although I don't think Ross is the problem necessarily. I wish they'd to do a lipsync royale to see who gets to come back. So many great performers this season. But I doubt since we had the smackdown already.
I love watching something while I eat, and Bussy Queen's videos are one of my go-to's. And I get so excited when I have a delicious meal to eat and a new episode of Bussy. When I don't have a new episode, I might as well starvvvve.😔
