Great lipsync, beautiful untucked, stupid but fun challenge, great runways, fair judging for the most part. This episode really felt like a celebration of drag, and was my favorite episode of the so far.

One of the most wholesome RPDR episodes I have ever seen

This is one of the few times that the acting challenge wasn't cringe or that it wasn't written in a weird way. Also, there were not any weak queens, every single one of them NAILED IT!

Moreover, the runway was gorgeous ( s/o to Lady Camden for one of the gaggiest reveals ever ) and the Top 2 was CORRECT! The lipsync was so fun and entertaining, I loved it!

We also had a really heartfelt and powerful moment in Untucked, so for me this episode was the complete package, a 10/10.

one of the best episodes ever

Season 14 has the best acting challenges in show's history. Everybody has been doing so well, it's impressive how these girls have been elevating the hell out of this competition. They can turn looks, performance, acting. Love them all so much

and finally camden got a win! She's amazing and so sweet, she did so well in the lip sync and the challenge. Everything was just on point.

Delightfully weird
leppards-1791319 February 2022
A lot of queens killed it in this episode! The only thing I found questionable was adding the farts. Toilet humor just isn't my thing. The runway was also a good choice. It was fresh. Initially, I had low expectations for this episode, and I was happy to be proven wrong.

Quick Rudemption
raulgarzaguzman19 February 2022
This episode was perfect next to last week. They redeemed themselves after such a questionable episode and I'm glad they got things back in track with this wonderfully ridiculous episode. Lady Camden was finally rewarded for her talent and the season starts to balance itself out with new possible frontrunners.

The best episode of the season, so far!

The acting challenge, the editing, the cinematography angle, the runway, the lipsync- and of all, the rightfully deserving winner of the episode! *chef's kiss*

What a wonderful celebration of drag
joez-4663519 February 2022
Probably a better acting challenge than most seasons - it helped that Mama Ru herself donned the director's hat. The rehearsals were great in itself, and adding the farts to the final product was a fresh act at start, maybe turned stale towards the end - but fun nonetheless. The runway category was kinda new too. The judging was reasonably fair, though I would have swapped one of the toppers who lip synced. Overall a wonderful episode, hope they keep making more of this kind.

Without doubt

The utterly - farterly - splendiferously, most creative and watchable episode in years !!!!!

Apparently this review is too short to post - hence this very afterthought filler to enable me to get to 150 characters (a bit like seasons 10-13 - except they dang didny not contain any characters at all) - ouchio!

Best Drag Race Episode So Far?
we_are_the_word19 February 2022
As a viewer and fan, I hadn't been so uninterested about an episode due to last episode's judging and winner. But this moment, this challenge, the delivery, the runway, the fact nothing was taken too seriously, the Lady Camdem's reveal. Every contestant performance was utterly incredible. Finnaly, the cherry on top, and incredible Untucked episode to wrap up a perfect week. Just remarkable.

THIS WAS HILARIOUS! I enjoyed this episode so much! I love this stupid humor and this fart sound every time made me go nuts! I never laughed like that in my life! Runway - YES! Lady Camden reveal was everything, Daya Betty finally shined both on challenge and runway, THE JUDGING WAS FAIR omg! Every girl did amazing this episode and it was a joy to me to watch. I agree about nobody being in the bottom nor low! This is AN EPISODE to watch!

Soo Close
Javi112219 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This episode had everything needed to be a perfect drag race episode, but the show's writers couldn't come up with anything funny, so they decided to insert a fart sound effect every 3 seconds. It was honestly cringey and hard to watch for me. I thought almost everyone performed very well in the challenge, but i couldn't focus because they were constantly interrupted by a fart and RuPaul loosing his mind. Anyway, Lady Camden is a SUPERSTAR. She really stole the show and finally got her much deserved win after having the best runway and an amazing lipsync performance.

What an amazing episode this was and what a star Lady Camden is! I cannot wait for more! Hopefully we'll get to see less fake drama from now on.

That was... something
inoiwanta20 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
An acting challenge that seemed to have real potential was turned into a long, overdone fart joke. Seriously... a 10 minute fart joke, with very little variation on the soundboard. Sending no one home was a choice, probably spurred on by the absurdity of the episodes challenge, but the double standard of judging (Rock M Sakura) made that questionable as well.

Great lip sync from the top 2, and a few cool runways, but I can't score it higher because of the contradictory standards and the bizarre post production choices for the acting challenge that in the end, took away from the ability to actually judge the performances.

SUCH A GOOD EPISODE
sj458019 February 2022

WOWWWWWWWWWWWW

This was a fantastic episode. I feel like we got to know everyone a lot more. The challenge was really great, I was dying from all of the fart edits. Everyone killed it basically, it made sense to acknowledge more than 3 tops and have the rest safe rather than to continue to not recognize some of the queens' greatness. The arc of Daya not being distinct from Crystal to deservingly winning with Camden. THAT RUNWAY ALSO WAS GREAT, I GAGGED AT CAMDEN'S.

AND THAT LIPSYNC..... LOVE BLONDIE and the lipsync was really strong. I agree with Camden getting the win and I could her really shining, and she's not getting the professional edit either, I think she could truly win this whole thing.

Also girl groups next week. Yay!!!

So excited to see what's coming soon.

THIS is how you pull off a PUNK'D-type stunt!
OKCRay4 May 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Much of what makes this episode classic has already been said, but leave it to RuPaul to take an otherwise ordinary "acting challenge" (many of which have been hit or miss in RPDR history) and channel her inner Ashton Kutcher to create one of the most epic PUNK'D stunts in TV history. Ru directed the cast in this challenge, a send-up of 1980s prime time soap operas, by having the queens speak slowly, while exaggerating their gestures, dramatic pauses and facial expressions, with the queens never knowing that Ru was in fact pulling a fast one on them. The big reveal of the "final director's cut" of The Daytona Wind is a joy to watch. One thing that is lost in all of this is that the original air date of this episode was on the weekend of the actual Daytona 500 auto race, and this episode generated more buzz than the actual race! Needless to say Mama Ru knew exactly what she was doing here!

Honestly, it had everything. As someone who doesn't laugh off of farts, this made me chuckle so much. It was just so stupidly funny, you can't help it but laugh. Lady Camden earned that win. Happy to see so many queens be praised in this episode.

Hated it
Itwassoannoying19 February 2022
The farting made this unwatchable, anyway, justice for Rock M Sakura.

I love how bothered everyone is by this, the bar is so low you'll laud anything as long as a review show or someone on Twitter tells you it was good, pathetic.

Overrated
justinwillcott9 March 2022
The farting gag was funny the first time but got old fast. I hate these scripted challenges, this one was no exception. Pretty sure the episode is only rated high because of what happened in Untucked.
