Best episode of the season with a perfect, pertinent message. The Rusical came out at the perfect time in regards to what is happening right now in the states, and is the clear and concise message that drag is harmless and for everyone. On top of that the runway was phenomenal and the girls really turned it out, they all did a great job in the challenge, and the "who should go home and why" was one of the juiciest ever. Loosey vs Luxx vs Mistress is some of the best drama we've gotten in maaaany seasons. This episode has the drama, fashion, fun and important. This is what every episode should feel like, this is why this show wins Emmy's.

If Season 14 could have a non-BTM2 episode, so could this season. Each and every queen did a phenomenal job and brought us the sheer enjoyment of what drag was supposed to deliver. No one deserved to go home that night! In my humble opinion, I don't think Salina's aesthetics have any problem. It is the judges who have problems accepting different styles. Her runway in this episode was actually original and on-point. As to Loosey, she just gave the performance of her life. In the past seasons, she could effortlessly be high-safe or won the whole thing. While the judges put her in the BTM2 for being working too hard? I just can't bear these constant double standards and paradoxes made in the judging panel.
Peak Drag Race

To start, the episode as a whole resonates with what is occurring in Tennessee, it serves as a reality check. But anyways as soon as the episodes starts we get drama and we can see Loosey begin to crumble under the pressure. Moving on to the Rusical... PHENOMENAL, the vocals, theatrics and the commitment from each queen was breathtaking. Truly one of my favorites. Runways were great. When it comes time to answer THAT question. Luxx stating a thesis, a defense and a conclusion made me stand up and walk away from the TV, so good. The only thing not making this episode a 10/10 was the boring parts: rehearsals, sob stories. Additionally the lip sync was ok compared to the powerhouse that was its predecessor. Overall best episode of the season and the BEST Rusical we've seen yet.
HONESTLY AN AMAZING EPISODE

This episode could not come at a more perfect time. Ru and the producers had a spot-on prediction with the ongoing political climate of today and this episode showed that tremendously. This show isn't just like your average reality tv show it has fkng soul and I just get emotional watching this episode because I get to see so much queer joy and seeing queer art thrive! I love this episode so much and I'm going to start why: Literally anyone could've one the Rusical, honestly all 6 of them should've won. The iconic who should go home and why, and the emotions running high. My god I luv dis show.
Why are we pretending this was good?

First of all, the cast did a good job with absolutely horrible material.
The music was bad, the "story" was bad, the staging was bad, the direction was bad, the concept was random, and having a bunch of them in half-baked boy drag was not interesting to look at. It was annoying and boring and just didn't captivate me even a little.
I don't understand why everyone hypes these abominations of performance challenges up when they were terrible and practically unwatchable. Where is the hive mind out there starting these lies?
If we keep acting like these are good we're going to keep getting this quality, or worse.
Also the judging was crazy.
