Okay, I am here for Thorgy, but also, I'm shocked that no one seemed to even bat an eye when she said she was doing Michael Jackson. Not even Ru, really. Ru was like 'don't second guess yourself'. And I'm thinking if Kennedy's Little Richard hadn't been so successful, it would have gone a totally different way for Thorgy. It was a pretty sensational Michael, though, won't even lie.

Was Derrick even doing Britney's accent? Because I was so underwhelmed. She had a few one-liner moments, but damn, that was not even remotely that great.

Acid Betty and Robbie were both just awful. It was like they hadn't ever even heard of who they were impersonating. And as much as I am/was rooting for Robbie, she really needs to stop with the excuses. It's getting very, very old.

BOB THOUGH. BOB YOU PRECIOUS GLORIOUS BOB. Just so good. So so sooooooooo good. When she popped back in as Carol Channing after already being absolutely hilarious as Crazy Eyes!Uzo, it was just EVERYTHING. And Michelle may have had a tiny point about potential showboating, but honestly? I think Bob actually threw the assist to other queens on that panel. She gave opportunities for comebacks, without being nuts like Season 4's front row shenanigans, and Chi Chi and Derrick threw back really well.

I wish Naomi would have gone with Whoopi Goldberg when she saw that Bob wasn't doing it. Glad she stuck around though.

But good lord, all those terrible kimonos. So awkward!

For a second I thought Ru was going to do a double save, actually. I was really genuinely surprised that Acid Betty sashayed away so early in the game. Not particularly sorry about it, but definitely surprised.

I think that Mama Ru was hoping Thorgy would be secure in her portrayal of MJ.

And as much as I am/was rooting for Robbie, she really needs to stop with the excuses. It's getting very, very old.

That's a v. good point. I can't help but wonder why she keeps choking nearly every single time.

Had Mama Ru not done the double elimination in episode 2 or brought back Naysha, I think she might've done a double save. Despite my hot/cold feels about Acid B., I do find her interesting.

True, true, but also, not even a side eye or something? Unless I missed it, which I might have. But so much shade went Kennedy's way when she said she wanted to do Little Richard. idk, it just seemed a little off somehow. It was still a great impersonation though!

Right? It's like she does something great and then flatlines immediately after, but instead of being grown about it, she makes excuses.

Yes, Kennedy did paved the way for the queens to do male impersonations. I think that Mama Ru was amused and curious by Thorgy's choice to do MJ. Mainly because it had a rather high probability of being a hot mess.

The thing that is frustrating about Robbie is that we know she's capable of doing her bit for the challenges. She's a trained actor for Ornacia's sake! Is it nerves? Is it lack of sleep? Her excuses are older than a S1 gaff so I'm hoping that she gets her act together and stops it with trying to reason her way of why she didn't deliver.
