I thought Mystique was a decent performer and I really felt for her when Raven (grrr), Morgan and Sahara were being utter bitches to her :( That was really awful.
But I don't disagree with her elimination. It's cool to see bigger girls being represented (although it seems a bit tokenistic, since there's always just one who gets kicked off early on) but ... I've seen several fabulous, big drag queens who could have done a much better job. Mystique is young and seemed a bit lost on the makeup/outfits front. Maybe it's strategic, to cast a bigger girl who they know isn't going to make it too far, so it doesn't seem like she's being eliminated because of her size?
Hee, that's not my gif, they're all from vh1's blog (http://blog.vh1.com/utag/series/rupauls-drag-race-2/29098/).
