This is what I get for not commenting on the previous post. I disagreed with Max's elimination. She won 2 challenges, she had so much more to offer, whereas I think we've seen all we're going to get from Jaidynn. And by the way, she was not being a diva with the moment of her sitting down and singing on the runway. She tweeted that they asked her to sing while her corset was adjusted.

Should we also vote on who we think will come back (not who we want to come back)? I'd like it to be Max but I'm like 92% sure it'll be Trixie.

My thing is, by season 7 there are two big no-nos: not knowing how to sew, and being unable to successfully perform in Snatch Game. And of those two mistakes, sucking at Snatch Game is almost definitely guaranteed to get you booted off the show.

Now don't get me wrong, Jaidynn wasn't a great Raven-Symone (though not nearly as bad as Fame's Donatella Versace). But what Jaidynn did manage was to execute a recognizable impression, however one-note it was. Fame did not, and Max sure as hell definitely did not. Arguably if Max had just done her weird Courtney Act impression again, she would have been safe. (Which also begs the question of how she can at least manage the same performance as Courtney as Jaidynn did as Raven, but fuck up Sharon Needles so badly?)

And as for defensive tweeting, I'm reminded of Roxxxy Andrews and Carmen Carrera; queens say a lot of things after the fact. As lucifuge_5 said, that singing corset stunt didn't do her any favors whether it was her idea or not.

Yes, this. All of this.

Honestly, I apologize for having my tinfoil hat on, but ... Max's performance in the Snatch Game just seems so unlikely. Not impossible, but we have seen that Max can act, and that Max is a planner. It just seems so questionable to me that it went down the way we saw it edited. I cannot believe that Max wouldn't have practiced Sharon to the nth degree. Call me suspicious, call me crazy, but I just can't shake the feeling that there's something fishy (no pun intended) about that exit. Like, I am almost wondering if they're going to bring her back and the twist is going to be that she stays (unlike every other queen who's ever returned). After all, she hasn't missed an episode, so nobody could say that she was cutting in line by skipping a challenge.

I don't know. I am probably completely wrong, but that look was spot-on, as Michelle said. While I can believe that Max didn't win the challenge, it seems unlikely that it went as badly as the editing would make one believe.
