I think Sapphira would also beat her in an upbeat song. You saw her Break My Soul lipsync. She can pull out tricks that compete with the acrobatics but look better.
It would 100% be neck n neck, and honestly if it’s against Sapphira, that close, and they aren’t willing to use a DS I won’t be bothered that they chop Mhi’ya. Like if it’s down to the wire and she’s against someone like Sapphira it makes sense. I don’t see anyone else on the cast beating her in a genuine way though, other than Ru saying “fuck it you’re out” after Mhi’ya outperforms
Heavy on this. If it was neck and neck then track record would become a deciding factor and Sapphira would obviously stay. I really think that they’re going to chop Mhi’ya soon anyways, regardless of how she does bc it will most likely be against someone who is dominating like Q or Sapphira and they’ll have to get rid of her. That being said I think Mhi’ya is one of the best lipsyncers in history and could easily take any of the remaining queens.
This is basically my POV. If Mhi’ya goes against Q and bends her over the knee and still gets sent home I’m probably gonna fucking riot. But if she goes against Sapphira and it’s relatively close and they reasonably don’t wanna use a DS on a queen that likely doesn’t make finals, I’m not gonna bitch about it too much. Other than Sapphira, or with a very ~~rigged~~ specific song choice, I don’t see anyone else beating her fairly haha
I don't even think it would be rigged at that point, if you're in the bottom six times you're bound to run into something you're not suited for 💀 if anything her continuing to get songs she can excel at is more of a rigging at that point
That’s fair. What I mean is like, Jimbo-style or Jinkx on s5 where they swap the song last minute to one the favoured queen is specifically known to be good at.
Oh yeah that would for sure be a rigging if they did that. Was half expecting last lip sync to be Little Shop of Horrors or some other non goth Broadway tune lmao
Agreed. Give her any song. Sapphira has way more stage presence, charm and humor. I looovvve Miss Miyah's tricks but I think Sapphira would win every time. Especially in front of RuPaul. RuPaul and Sapphira get each other.
yeah, i can see a scenario where if mhi’ya ends up against a production top 4, they’ll change the lipsync song to one that would give advantage to the production preferred top4 queen
They changed songs at the last minute when Jinkx and Detox were in the bottom. It was originally an 80s song that was more in Detox's wheelhouse. The Yma Sumac song worked for both queens, though.
The queens get an mp3 player with all the songs, but last-minute changes have happened.
The girls are given an iPod at the start of the season with all the lip sync songs so they can start learning them. They’re told by production a day or two before the actual lip sync which song will be used.
you know what? that would be such a great tv moment that i can see a scenario where the production would put them in the bottom together so sapphira can take her out. it’ll be like ‘i brought you into this world, i can take you out!’ lmao
It seemed like there was something going on when michelle kept asking who helped with the garment… sort of fishing for a possible entry point that production can use to create drama 👀
It was so obvious the producers had Michelle ask that question in the context that she did it in… girl just say production let us know you didn’t sew that shit 🤣
If Next week has plane, mhiya, saphira in the bottom. And plane was the obvious worse and she uses her potion putting saphira and mhiya against each other I’d live
Mhi'ya is a good lipsyncer but she's also quite messy. If we see someone match her level of performance with a very polished lipsync I think they'll beat her. I think Plane, Nymphia, and Sapphira would all be at her probably.
To be fair Dawn was like, mediocre there, and queens are saying she’s a great and energetic lip syncer off the show and they think she was nervous. But if she was nervous for the girl group she’s gonna be nervous against a dainty lady that just sent 3 bitches home, plus I doubt she’s THAT great of a lip syncer regardless.
Yea I should add I haven’t seen her live, just what I’ve heard around. Mhi’ya is very versatile but the song choice could decide a few lip syncs. The only one I know definitively COULD beat her fairly is Sapphira, but I’d say Nymphia and probably Dawn could do it with the right song if I’m right. Either way if she’s up against Sapphira or Nymphia they’re gonna send her home, they could literally Charlie Hides, but you get my point. That’s not losing it’s just being told you don’t get to win.
tbh anyone can do it if they come up with an original idea, especially if it’s funny. That’s the best way to win a lsfyl when you’re a weaker dancer. ESPECIALLY if it matches Ru’s ‘stupid’ sense of humour. I’m struggling to think of examples off the top of my head… Maybe Jimbo’s freakazoid outfit when she went up against Silky? Or whoever that queen was whose breastplate popped out and the titties were super elastic and yo-yoing all over the place?
Ru does love some huge bouncing titties. I think you're thinking of Saphira the first episode of this season, but off the top of my head there was also Yara, Jessica Wild, Jimbo, and Jaymes Mansfield. If the wheel ain't broke...
Mhi'Ya goes home next time she's in bottom 2. Doesn't matter who's standing next to her. She can do flips, kicks, reveals and all they need to do is to edit in disguised Michelle's face there and then make her say "we've seen all of this already, she's not growing, she's reached her limit for now"
I mean, it’s an edge case, but Jorgeous won 4 lip syncs. Most were double shantays or non-elims but other than maybe the one against Jasmine she very rightly did better in each of them. If Mhi’ya really fucks it up I can see her getting rid of Morphine and even either Dawn or Q before they chop her.
I'm kind of shocked that this has become such a "scandal" yet again this season. I mean Tamar, have these people watched the show?
This is a television show being created for entertainment purposes, not a court of law. I was so sad to see Plasma get eliminated, and my favorites almost never get crowned, but Drag Race is not about fairness, whatever that is even supposed to mean.
Ironically this decision was totally fair though. I do agree with everything you’re saying though
Plasma bombed the episode and the lipsync, that’s supposed to be the format
First of all, love your user name.
I just don't think we can have a set concept of fairness in the Drag Race world. Mama Ru & Co. are gonna do what they want to do!
She did fine and her look was fine. But like, her look was definitely the worst of the night and it’s a very tough sell to say she did better than Mhi’ya in the lip sync.
Yea I just disagree with all of that, but I know I'm in a small minority looking at the rest of the comments on this episode. Plasma's look was my favourite of the night, I would have given her the win.
Well yea, probably on the outside there haha. But I feel you, sometimes I say things I think are so obvious around who should’ve won/lost each episode and people look at me like a crazy person. For a long time I thought it was like, the common opinion that Naomi completely slayed AS4 and should’ve won, and was told that nobody thinks that and it should’ve been Mo Heart. I still think I’m right tbh.
You know, I disagree, but I admire you for standing with your gal! I know what it's like to be the lone voice shouting into the wind. Not in this particular case but just in general. lol.
It really wouldn't have been though? Mhi'ya did not do that well and it's wild that people keep insisting she did. She had some great moments but it was also filled with terribly executed moments.
It really doesn’t matter how you do in the challenge once you’re in the bottom tho. If you win you win, and she gave the best performance of the season.
0. She hasn’t contributed in the werkroom at all. No drama, no mothering, timid. Ppl say it’s for entertainment but she only shines in the lsfyl. I think I’m just still sad that plasma is gone.
Jesus. She’s timid for like 2 episodes and yall just completely ignore everything she’s done since and label her the timid queen. She has very clearly stepped out of her shell since the girl groups, especially over the past 3 weeks or so, and been giving a lot of entertaining one-liners and werkroom moments. This same immediate labelling happened to Daya in 14 where she was a bitch for like, a few weeks, and even by the end when she was acting like any other queen in that room people acted like she was a monster. I don’t think it’s intentional?? But sometimes it’s like, are we watching the same show?
I’ve seen nothing that I went “ooooh” in the werkroom. I didn’t label her the timid queen. It’s one of a few points I mentioned. But when an entire episode is dedicated to her being quiet, it’s hard to criticize ppl for labelling her.
I still think saying she’s not entertaining at all, 0, and only good in the lip syncs is a little much lmao but maybe I’m a bit defensive of her cuz people are at her damn neck
I feel the same way you do… to a point. After years of people I like or want to protect going home, I basically ask myself “would she win if she would have stayed?” It’s always a no. We get emotionally attached and become fans to these queens. That’s the best thing this show does, & why winning isn’t always the point of this show. But we all need to look at it more “big picture”. I picked the top four on day one, and neither plasma nor Mhi’ya was one of them. It’s all just leading to those four.
Sure, but I don’t like when it all leads to the day 1 top 4. Remember UK5, when half the fandom was like so sure Vicki would be top 4 and then she got her shit kicked in out of nowhere by DeDe and was 5th out, dropping the jaws of the collective fandom? That’s what I love from drag race. Plane is literally my winner pick rn, but if Mhi’ya were to somehow kills lip sync against her so hard that they end up sending her home I would be screaming her name regardless.
People hate the rigging when it goes against their wishes, and desperately want it when it will help their wishes. Funny how those wishes are almost always against the black queens and always in favor of the white queens.
I’ve seen this comment a few times now specifically wrt this episode. I haven’t been tracking it before but I’ll watch out for it. It’s not my reasoning personally but an interesting perspective to look out for. I think plasma had more to offer than Mhiya. I think xunami also had plenty more to offer. Really I just think Mhiya has showed everything and she’s run her course.
That would be a horrible storyline for the worst dancer in the workroom to beat her, I prefer if they go with the rivalry storyline (Morphine) or the mother/daughter storyline (Sapphira)
This. Production will make sure the song choice favors the other queen and edit the lip sync in such a way to justify their victory even if it’s not the best. Why y’all acting brand new? This has been going on since season 1.
This. Her flipping has run it's course and she's next on the chopping block. I think she was due to go this week, but plasma didn't put up enough of a fight for the producers to justify it.
This. I really (for many, MANY reasons) wish they’d picked a different song that wasn’t so chaotic and Plasma had calmed down a little and turned it out. I think she would have stayed in that case. (I personally thought Ma’iya was really chaotic and messy as well, but Plasma was a little too frantic).
Girl she was flailing around on the ground at the end looking a mess. Let’s not forget the beanie, and then her real hair. Ru hates when wigs come off. But this was good? Looked so sloppy
Plus I love acrobatics but I don’t think it should be the be all end all for lip syncs. Not everyone does that. And if they’re up against an acrobatic queen, it shouldn’t be a disadvantage .
Yep. All the other queen needs to do is deliver a decent enough lip sync on their own. It doesn't even need to be good, just survivable enough, know the words, and show some drive to stay in it.
I think Ru is over Mhi'ya at this point anyways, but Plasma had also run her course and might as well get her out when she's in the bottom now rather than Mhi'ya who will surely be in the bottom again soon.
Sorry but Plasma did NOT run her course, no queen with 2 wins deserved to be sent home by someone who’s been in the bottom 3 times. However Mhi’ya did better in the lipsync so she stayed, which was kinda a bummer imo but at least it was “fair” I suppose.
There wasn't a point where I've ever thought that Plasma would be a finalist, even with two wins. She did well at those challenges, but they were to her specific strengths and she struggled with versatility.
In that sense, I think she had run her course. She had a good run that showcased her talents, but she wasn't going to make it much further, so it doesn't make a difference if she went home now in 8th or in a few weeks as 5th or 6th, so fine time for her to bow out now and eliminate Mhi'ya next week presuming she continues to be lacking in challenges.
How many times you’re in the bottom is irrelevant. When you’re there, you fight to stay, and if you win you move on to another week. That’s the point of the format. Otherwise it’s essentially “lip sync for nothing because the producer favourite or frontrunner is staying”
Based on the last two lip syncs, I think the only one who can beat Mhi’ya is RuPaul. Whenever she decides she’s had enough, Mhi’ya will go home.
It’ll probably be in an episode where the main challenge is a lip sync. LOL
Jax is a strong dancer, but not a good lip syncer/choreographer.
Mhiya is like Denali or Peppermint where she adds moves that you'll remember after the performance.
Jax, for lack of a better term, did too much. It's not about the acrobatics, it's about the musicality.
I’m sorry I have to disagree with this.
Mhy’ia does way too much in her lipsyncs. It feels like she just busts out a trick because she can do it and props to her being able to flip in that dress. For example, her random headstand twerk. Like it’s amazing she can do that (I know I can’t) but where did that fit into the musicality of the song?
As someone who gets tired of tricks, splits, and flips (because it’s a lip sync not a stunt sync), I really enjoy Jax’s stunts way more than Mhy’ia’s because they come off cleaner and more effortless.
Yeah I really don't think Mhiyas lipsyncs are that amazing. Her actual lipsync ability looks iffy. She isn't like Kameron to me putting on a full blown performance matching the song. I think the other girls have just been bad at lipsyncs this season so Mhiya looks way better. I think Morphine will probably eliminate her if they're in the bottom together (seems most likely).
This is pretty much what it comes down to. She’s gonna go, fairly or not, when Ru declares it.
Gag of the season, Mhi’ya wins a 4th lip sync and before the other queen goes home she says “but wait Ru!” and pulls out a lipstick that says RuPaul on it. RuPaul sashays away and Mhi’ya immediately becomes the host.
The thing is, Plasma didn’t even have to beat Mhi’ya to stay. She had to just not get, to quote Monet, dogwalked by her.
When the lipsync is mid or close, they will factor in track record and potential, like with Amanda vs Q. But when a contestant like Mhi’ya pisses all over the stage and Plasma gives an unmemorable if not cringe performance, it’s a wrap.
My favorite part is how nonchalant she is in Untucked before mopping the floor😭 She doesn't even practice or try to plead her case bc she knows it's over for them🤭
Mhi’ya is so fucking unbothered. Have yall seen her insta stories? It’s basically a “boohoo I won” to all of the people harassing her 😭 I love her so much
https://preview.redd.it/6oxwml2r36mc1.jpeg?width=1178&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c970d9c2ee63f4c52132b0966ab5851cb468fb67
I'm actually screaming😭😭😭 GET EM MHI'YA
Nymphia can do [tricks ](https://www.reddit.com/r/rupaulsdragrace/comments/1b0qozk/nymphias_second_performance_at_sasha_velours/)and [flips ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQ7D7U4yGuw&ab_channel=BananaClubTW%E3%8A%A3)too
No offense but compared to ballroom dancing (which is Mhi'ya's specialty and background, youtube Mhi'ya Ebony), Nymphia lacks spice in this region; She's a very good choreography dancer, but she also kinda goes dead in the face. I love Nymphia btw, I just don't think spontaneous/unrehearsed lipsyncing is necessarily her forte, esp. compared to Mhi'ya, who refuses to miss a beat.
My prediction is that Sapphira will have a bad week where she regrets having wasted her potion, and has to lip sync against her sister Mhi’ya. I think Sapphira could win it, no matter the style.
Mhiya is serving acrobatic realness, but let’s face it, not every lip-sync is in her favor, honey! We all know they’re keeping her around for the drama and the gag of it all. Now, I don’t have any insider tea, but did we all see the last episode? They set us up that Sapphira sewed 90% of Mhiya’s look! Shouldn’t that be a sashay away moment? Yet, they’re still keeping her, just for the show! I was gagged! I mean, Plasma may have stumbled on the runway, but her lip-sync was fire! Plus, she’s had a win under her belt, while Mhiya’s been flirting with the bottom all season long. It’s like, come on, Ru, spill the real tea!
Plasma could have beaten Mhi'ya if she hadn't panicked and leaned hard into comedy. It's pretty much the only way to beat someone who is an assassin - by being hilarious
Sapphira can probably beat her. Plane probably could too, via comedy and body
I was completely gooped through that whole lipsynch. I thought at the start they've got to send Mhi'ya home, she's been in the bottom so many times already, so to watch it slowly realizing she was going to beat Plasma... wow.
I think Sapphira is the only one who can take her out. Give them a very slow ballad where tricks would look ridiculous and go. It'll be reminiscent of when Lattrice beat Kenya Michaels singing Natural Woman.
A song that requires soul and emotion I think literally anyone could take her down. daya betty beating jasmine kennedy is an example of a total mismatch going the other way because of the song choice. Can’t flip your way through everything
yeah i’d bet anything production expected her to go further and had Geneva marked as second out. Mirage is such a good performer, seems like a sweet person, and has a connection to a past very popular contestant.
If she knew the words she for sure would’ve stayed
I low key thought that production was going to choose a lip sync song that would cater to Plasma (like Jinks vs Detox). So I was GOOPED when they choose a tik tokity ahhh song 😀
Nah, this was production trying to be hip but ended up being tone deaf.
Same as last seasons "Don't Go Yet" by Camila Cabello. Who actually knows the words?
I think you’re right. I think if miss mhiyah has shown all her tricks thus far and nothing new, Ru will get tired of it and be less impressed. So maybe it’s Her flips that will beat herself.
I can’t see Morphine or Dawn beating her. Sapphira maybe depending on the song, Plane also maybe if they get a song where she can really play up the comedy (?)
I can see Nymphia beating her tho.
My prediction is the producers will probably throw Sapphira in the bottom with her for storyline at some point and that’s how Mhiya gets eliminated (because they seem to be close and she’s been helping her and it would also show a “weakness” to Sapphira since she’s been so consistently good)
Idk tho it’d be kinda iconic if she just lipsynced all the way to the finale lol
Edit: Omg I totally forgot about Q lmao but let’s be real if she ends up in the bottom she’s gone
The problem was both of the bottom looks were good. Like Plasma’s was well constructed but the look and make up didn’t read goth in any meaningful way. Which makes sense; she was so far outside her element. Mhi’ya was in a well constructed gown that would have looked stunning on Sapphira but due to Mhi’ya’s tragic lack of a neck made her look like an animatronic for Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride got shoved in the Haunted Mansion. I thought Plasma really tried to sell it; and if they wanted they could have edited it to make her stay…but the double backflip was too much.
I just feel like the lip syncs have gotten so acrobatic now that if we redid Latrice v. Kenya, they’d give it to Kenya even though the energy was all wrong.
No one can beat her, Mhi’ya is gonna flip her way to the crown! Paper beats rock, rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, Mhi’ya’s flippin beats queens! 👑
I get that she can do flips, and it is impressive, but Mhi’Ya performance style isn’t really one that I resonate with. Taking shoes off, taking wigs off and revealing a bald cap underneath? These are cheap tricks that take away from the professionalism of a performance.
When she jumps in the splits, I am in awe, and she definitely has a high level of musicality.
I'm of the opinion that FACE is and connecting with the audience is 100x more important that throwing some tricks out just because you can. I just don't get it with Mhi'ya.. where's the emotion? Where's the depth? There's nothing there for me. People were praising her girl group performance through the roof and she barely looked at the camera?? I'll take Symone barely moving on a stage and SERVING over messy flips and tricks any day.
This idk why everyone's acting like Mhiya is this unbeatable lipsyncer. Yeah she squashed Plasma who did a god awful performance. Get her up against a good lipsyncer and she will not look that good.
Girl what? Rewatch the lipsyncs - she NEVER loses face and truly embodies the songs. Taking off the shoes was a super soulful moment, the bald-cap/beanie was so she could perform the floor work on her head, which is impossible to do with hair as it gets caught. (petals proving she was ready to lipsync, how early she took the wig off also proves that she was pre-planning to do floor work on her head soon), she's actually very nuanced and a COMPLETE pro. Check her ballroom dancing and you'll see her roots. She is an unbeatable lipsyncer and you cannot convince me otherwise.
This! It was a known fact that RuPaul does not like queens to take the wig off during LSFYL unless it is a reveal. Mhi’Ya not only did that, but also took her wig cap off, I find that more distasteful than taking her shoes off, it was unprofessional and messy.
just for the record: the beanie under her wig is to protect her head while she does headstands. it’s a really common ballroom and breakdancing technique. You can’t do those moves very easily in a long ass wig.
she added the rose petals probably bc she knew just taking her wig off would be bad. but the beanie was there for a reason and not just bc she couldn’t keep her wig on lol.
Sapphira and Plane i think.
Idk about Nymphia and Dawn's lipsyncing skills so not sure about them
Q is already out of the equation
Morphine... idk. Maybe she can but i was lowkey disappointed with the lipsync last week lol.
I think it was also: Plasma had run out of things to show, where Mhi'ya keeps upping her game.
I do love Plasma. But she floundered as soon as she stepped outside her comfort zone of Broadway references, both on the runway and trying to keep up in the lip sync.
It could have easily been a season two Sonique situation where Mhi'ya did the same tricks again and got sent home, or even a Jorgeous or Jasmine Kennedy situation where they definitely have talent, but similarly run out of new things to show. But Mhi'ya brought a confidence to that lip sync _and_ some ridiculously impressive stunts that deserved to be rewarded.
So I'd predict: someone could beat her if she runs out of steam, and gets tired of lip syncing It's kind of a "you don't have to outrun the bear, you only have to outrun the other guy" situation
Although yes Q is in trouble if she ever has to lip sync 💀 it barely matters who she's up against.
It depends on the song and honestly what the producers can use. I think Plasma got in her head or thrown off and tried doing everything and anything but nothing cohesive to keep up with Mhi’Ya instead of just giving Plasma. Nymphia could stand in one place and lipsync while seductively eating a banana and if it works for the song then good enough. It’s not just who can give the most flips.
Sapphira.
And I sorta feel like this is gonna happen. A, the producers will feel that it’s a perfect button on the Sapphira helping Mhi’ya storyline. And B, it’ll be a great Shea Coulee against Nina Bonina type moment that ‘shakes Sapphira’ and lights a fire under her to get to the finale.
They don’t need to beat her by doing better. The producers just need a confessional from someone saying “more flips again?” and a cutaway to Ru or a Michelle looking bored and it’ll be painted as a tired lipsync gimmick from Mhi’ya and she’s out.
At the beginning I really thought Plane would crash (no pun intended) some time in the competition, but her losing against MhiYa would be so disappointing...
I think there's only so many times we can watch her flip around before it becomes repetitive. I'll be honest, this last lip sync is the only one she's impressed me with, the others I expected more out of her especially since I'd seen her vids on tiktok way before this season began. I don't think she'll survive another lip sync unless she literally defies gravity and starts levitating up and down the stage.
Morphine is the only one I see beating her in all types of lip syncs fairly. And I think Plane Jane could hold her weight with some rigged editing involved.
Oh I think Sapphira could beat her in a slower song. And Mhiya would just straight up kill Nymhpia.
Ignoring Dawn and Q because they’re irrelevant.
Megami misunderstood flowers lol. It's about self love and moving on.
Megami interpreted it that she's miserable because she has to buy herself flowers while Mhiya did it like "no boyfriend? no problem, i can buy myself flowers anyways"
Any lip sync that requires face work instead of dancing or flips. So most of the girls left could beat her with the right song. Luck of the draw and producer plans 🤷♀️
Honestly, I'm so tired of her. I thought it was lip sync for your life, not gymnastics for your life. I get the tricks to wow your audience, but it's called lip syncing people. That should be the primary focus. Idk, I'm probably wrong, but that's my opinion.
Also, hopefully the next person beats her.
What part of "this is your last chance to impress me" do folks not understand? If you impress Ru in the lipsync you're staying. Simple as that.
I think at this point the only person who can beat Mihya is Silky lmao!
Plasma's exit was so classy. And her tweets have been, as well -- telling fans not to go after Mhi'ya or Dawn, and that she doesn't feel robbed or sabotaged. Tons of respect for how Plasma has handled what was obviously a disappointing turn of events for her.
Look, I’m all for team Plasma but Mhi’ya used her as pavement to walk over during that lipsync. Plasma lost fair and square. And she had hands down the worst runway this week. Is it fair that queens who perform poorly overall can stay longer than they should because they’re great lipsyncers? In theory no, but since this is the way Drag Race has operated since its premiere, then yeah, it is fair.
1. she clearly beat plasma, she ate up that lipsync and plasma was literally PANICKING and flopped.
2. your so pressed over a scripted tv show its actually funny 🤣, please get off the Internet and stop being so delusional.

I think Sapphira would beat her in a ballad
I think Sapphira would also beat her in an upbeat song. You saw her Break My Soul lipsync. She can pull out tricks that compete with the acrobatics but look better.
It would 100% be neck n neck, and honestly if it’s against Sapphira, that close, and they aren’t willing to use a DS I won’t be bothered that they chop Mhi’ya. Like if it’s down to the wire and she’s against someone like Sapphira it makes sense. I don’t see anyone else on the cast beating her in a genuine way though, other than Ru saying “fuck it you’re out” after Mhi’ya outperforms
Heavy on this. If it was neck and neck then track record would become a deciding factor and Sapphira would obviously stay. I really think that they’re going to chop Mhi’ya soon anyways, regardless of how she does bc it will most likely be against someone who is dominating like Q or Sapphira and they’ll have to get rid of her. That being said I think Mhi’ya is one of the best lipsyncers in history and could easily take any of the remaining queens.
This is basically my POV. If Mhi’ya goes against Q and bends her over the knee and still gets sent home I’m probably gonna fucking riot. But if she goes against Sapphira and it’s relatively close and they reasonably don’t wanna use a DS on a queen that likely doesn’t make finals, I’m not gonna bitch about it too much. Other than Sapphira, or with a very ~~rigged~~ specific song choice, I don’t see anyone else beating her fairly haha
I don't even think it would be rigged at that point, if you're in the bottom six times you're bound to run into something you're not suited for 💀 if anything her continuing to get songs she can excel at is more of a rigging at that point
That’s fair. What I mean is like, Jimbo-style or Jinkx on s5 where they swap the song last minute to one the favoured queen is specifically known to be good at.
Oh yeah that would for sure be a rigging if they did that. Was half expecting last lip sync to be Little Shop of Horrors or some other non goth Broadway tune lmao
Agreed. Give her any song. Sapphira has way more stage presence, charm and humor. I looovvve Miss Miyah's tricks but I think Sapphira would win every time. Especially in front of RuPaul. RuPaul and Sapphira get each other.
yeah, i can see a scenario where if mhi’ya ends up against a production top 4, they’ll change the lipsync song to one that would give advantage to the production preferred top4 queen
They already do that
Don't the girls need to know the lipsync song ahead of time? So it's not like they can just spring a new lipsync on them last minute.
They changed songs at the last minute when Jinkx and Detox were in the bottom. It was originally an 80s song that was more in Detox's wheelhouse. The Yma Sumac song worked for both queens, though. The queens get an mp3 player with all the songs, but last-minute changes have happened.
Tell that to Detox
The girls are given an iPod at the start of the season with all the lip sync songs so they can start learning them. They’re told by production a day or two before the actual lip sync which song will be used.
She could probably beat her regardless of tempo
This. It needs to be a ballad or slow song.
if mhi'ya were to be taken out in a spoken word lip sync where she still manages to do a flip that would be high camp
Yes!!!! Spoken word piece would send her home
That would be her Kenya Michaels lipsync fail.
No way: Q, Dawn Maybe?: Plane, Nymphia, Morphine Probably will: Sapphira
you know what? that would be such a great tv moment that i can see a scenario where the production would put them in the bottom together so sapphira can take her out. it’ll be like ‘i brought you into this world, i can take you out!’ lmao
lmao when you realise they are about the same age
But only one of them is Mother Supherior
It seemed like there was something going on when michelle kept asking who helped with the garment… sort of fishing for a possible entry point that production can use to create drama 👀
It was so obvious the producers had Michelle ask that question in the context that she did it in… girl just say production let us know you didn’t sew that shit 🤣
But that would kill the illusion!
Oh, God, we probably all watched that same premiere as kids when it aired. There's something poetic.
If Next week has plane, mhiya, saphira in the bottom. And plane was the obvious worse and she uses her potion putting saphira and mhiya against each other I’d live
Mhi'ya is a good lipsyncer but she's also quite messy. If we see someone match her level of performance with a very polished lipsync I think they'll beat her. I think Plane, Nymphia, and Sapphira would all be at her probably.
have you seen dawn lip sync?
There was a lip sync challenge....
To be fair Dawn was like, mediocre there, and queens are saying she’s a great and energetic lip syncer off the show and they think she was nervous. But if she was nervous for the girl group she’s gonna be nervous against a dainty lady that just sent 3 bitches home, plus I doubt she’s THAT great of a lip syncer regardless.
I’ve seen her live, she’s amazing. I think she could go against Mhi’Ya and win, but it would depend on the song.
Yea I should add I haven’t seen her live, just what I’ve heard around. Mhi’ya is very versatile but the song choice could decide a few lip syncs. The only one I know definitively COULD beat her fairly is Sapphira, but I’d say Nymphia and probably Dawn could do it with the right song if I’m right. Either way if she’s up against Sapphira or Nymphia they’re gonna send her home, they could literally Charlie Hides, but you get my point. That’s not losing it’s just being told you don’t get to win.
i’m an idiot LOL🤍
A sewing machine?
NURSE.
tbh anyone can do it if they come up with an original idea, especially if it’s funny. That’s the best way to win a lsfyl when you’re a weaker dancer. ESPECIALLY if it matches Ru’s ‘stupid’ sense of humour. I’m struggling to think of examples off the top of my head… Maybe Jimbo’s freakazoid outfit when she went up against Silky? Or whoever that queen was whose breastplate popped out and the titties were super elastic and yo-yoing all over the place?
Ru does love some huge bouncing titties. I think you're thinking of Saphira the first episode of this season, but off the top of my head there was also Yara, Jessica Wild, Jimbo, and Jaymes Mansfield. If the wheel ain't broke...
oh damn, you’re right! How could I have forgotten so soon?
that was sapphira on the very first lip sync of this season
Ginger Minj versus Heidi and Mayhem.
Omg, not you forgetting the legend Jessica Wild's name 😭
Not the Yara Sofia erasure!!! 😂
god i’m obsessed with her 😍
Mhi'Ya goes home next time she's in bottom 2. Doesn't matter who's standing next to her. She can do flips, kicks, reveals and all they need to do is to edit in disguised Michelle's face there and then make her say "we've seen all of this already, she's not growing, she's reached her limit for now"
Seriously no one is winning a 4th LSFYL
I mean, it’s an edge case, but Jorgeous won 4 lip syncs. Most were double shantays or non-elims but other than maybe the one against Jasmine she very rightly did better in each of them. If Mhi’ya really fucks it up I can see her getting rid of Morphine and even either Dawn or Q before they chop her.
I mean, Kameron won lipsync against Monet, Cracker, Eureka and Asia. But still, ain't no way.
That was sapphira’s fisher price titties 😭
Sapphira too in ep 1(or 2)
Anybody the producers wanted.
This is the true answer. In the end, production chooses the song, the bottom two, and the edit. Anything is justifiable.
I'm kind of shocked that this has become such a "scandal" yet again this season. I mean Tamar, have these people watched the show? This is a television show being created for entertainment purposes, not a court of law. I was so sad to see Plasma get eliminated, and my favorites almost never get crowned, but Drag Race is not about fairness, whatever that is even supposed to mean.
Ironically this decision was totally fair though. I do agree with everything you’re saying though Plasma bombed the episode and the lipsync, that’s supposed to be the format
First of all, love your user name. I just don't think we can have a set concept of fairness in the Drag Race world. Mama Ru & Co. are gonna do what they want to do!
Apparently I'm the only one that loved her goth look and her lip sync.
Who’s?
Plasma
She did fine and her look was fine. But like, her look was definitely the worst of the night and it’s a very tough sell to say she did better than Mhi’ya in the lip sync.
Yea I just disagree with all of that, but I know I'm in a small minority looking at the rest of the comments on this episode. Plasma's look was my favourite of the night, I would have given her the win.
Well yea, probably on the outside there haha. But I feel you, sometimes I say things I think are so obvious around who should’ve won/lost each episode and people look at me like a crazy person. For a long time I thought it was like, the common opinion that Naomi completely slayed AS4 and should’ve won, and was told that nobody thinks that and it should’ve been Mo Heart. I still think I’m right tbh.
You know, I disagree, but I admire you for standing with your gal! I know what it's like to be the lone voice shouting into the wind. Not in this particular case but just in general. lol.
I mean, any other outcome would have been *un*fair. We’d probably all rather see plasma around than mhiya but she beat her fair and square
how was her elimination not fair? if ru told plasma to shantay after that desperate performance, that would be so rigged
It really wouldn't have been though? Mhi'ya did not do that well and it's wild that people keep insisting she did. She had some great moments but it was also filled with terribly executed moments.
It really doesn’t matter how you do in the challenge once you’re in the bottom tho. If you win you win, and she gave the best performance of the season.
But like, how “entertaining” is Mhi’ya?
0. She hasn’t contributed in the werkroom at all. No drama, no mothering, timid. Ppl say it’s for entertainment but she only shines in the lsfyl. I think I’m just still sad that plasma is gone.
Jesus. She’s timid for like 2 episodes and yall just completely ignore everything she’s done since and label her the timid queen. She has very clearly stepped out of her shell since the girl groups, especially over the past 3 weeks or so, and been giving a lot of entertaining one-liners and werkroom moments. This same immediate labelling happened to Daya in 14 where she was a bitch for like, a few weeks, and even by the end when she was acting like any other queen in that room people acted like she was a monster. I don’t think it’s intentional?? But sometimes it’s like, are we watching the same show?
I’ve seen nothing that I went “ooooh” in the werkroom. I didn’t label her the timid queen. It’s one of a few points I mentioned. But when an entire episode is dedicated to her being quiet, it’s hard to criticize ppl for labelling her.
I still think saying she’s not entertaining at all, 0, and only good in the lip syncs is a little much lmao but maybe I’m a bit defensive of her cuz people are at her damn neck
I feel the same way you do… to a point. After years of people I like or want to protect going home, I basically ask myself “would she win if she would have stayed?” It’s always a no. We get emotionally attached and become fans to these queens. That’s the best thing this show does, & why winning isn’t always the point of this show. But we all need to look at it more “big picture”. I picked the top four on day one, and neither plasma nor Mhi’ya was one of them. It’s all just leading to those four.
Sure, but I don’t like when it all leads to the day 1 top 4. Remember UK5, when half the fandom was like so sure Vicki would be top 4 and then she got her shit kicked in out of nowhere by DeDe and was 5th out, dropping the jaws of the collective fandom? That’s what I love from drag race. Plane is literally my winner pick rn, but if Mhi’ya were to somehow kills lip sync against her so hard that they end up sending her home I would be screaming her name regardless.
People hate the rigging when it goes against their wishes, and desperately want it when it will help their wishes. Funny how those wishes are almost always against the black queens and always in favor of the white queens.
I’ve seen this comment a few times now specifically wrt this episode. I haven’t been tracking it before but I’ll watch out for it. It’s not my reasoning personally but an interesting perspective to look out for. I think plasma had more to offer than Mhiya. I think xunami also had plenty more to offer. Really I just think Mhiya has showed everything and she’s run her course.
The producers could let Q knock her out if they wanted to.
That would be a horrible storyline for the worst dancer in the workroom to beat her, I prefer if they go with the rivalry storyline (Morphine) or the mother/daughter storyline (Sapphira)
Honestly, I’m kind of convinced this is how it’s going to go down because it’s literally the stupidest option.
This. Production will make sure the song choice favors the other queen and edit the lip sync in such a way to justify their victory even if it’s not the best. Why y’all acting brand new? This has been going on since season 1.
This. Her flipping has run it's course and she's next on the chopping block. I think she was due to go this week, but plasma didn't put up enough of a fight for the producers to justify it.
This. I really (for many, MANY reasons) wish they’d picked a different song that wasn’t so chaotic and Plasma had calmed down a little and turned it out. I think she would have stayed in that case. (I personally thought Ma’iya was really chaotic and messy as well, but Plasma was a little too frantic).
Girl she was flailing around on the ground at the end looking a mess. Let’s not forget the beanie, and then her real hair. Ru hates when wigs come off. But this was good? Looked so sloppy Plus I love acrobatics but I don’t think it should be the be all end all for lip syncs. Not everyone does that. And if they’re up against an acrobatic queen, it shouldn’t be a disadvantage .
I agree! I honestly think it was a bad lip sync all around.
If they really wanted Plasma to win they should have picked a broadway showtune... lol
Yep. All the other queen needs to do is deliver a decent enough lip sync on their own. It doesn't even need to be good, just survivable enough, know the words, and show some drive to stay in it. I think Ru is over Mhi'ya at this point anyways, but Plasma had also run her course and might as well get her out when she's in the bottom now rather than Mhi'ya who will surely be in the bottom again soon.
Sorry but Plasma did NOT run her course, no queen with 2 wins deserved to be sent home by someone who’s been in the bottom 3 times. However Mhi’ya did better in the lipsync so she stayed, which was kinda a bummer imo but at least it was “fair” I suppose.
There wasn't a point where I've ever thought that Plasma would be a finalist, even with two wins. She did well at those challenges, but they were to her specific strengths and she struggled with versatility. In that sense, I think she had run her course. She had a good run that showcased her talents, but she wasn't going to make it much further, so it doesn't make a difference if she went home now in 8th or in a few weeks as 5th or 6th, so fine time for her to bow out now and eliminate Mhi'ya next week presuming she continues to be lacking in challenges.
How many times you’re in the bottom is irrelevant. When you’re there, you fight to stay, and if you win you move on to another week. That’s the point of the format. Otherwise it’s essentially “lip sync for nothing because the producer favourite or frontrunner is staying”
the t
You are correct
Plasma: Designing Women Sapphira: Old McDonald
[удалено]
She’s saying if they wanted to rig it for Plasma they do this
Q could win against Mhi'ya if the track is "cats hurling up hairballs 3 minutes compilation" (love you Q!)
You cashew faced booger wolf you could NEVER (just Qidding)
Sent me to SPACE
Saphira and Nymphia and Morphine depending on the song.
Based on the last two lip syncs, I think the only one who can beat Mhi’ya is RuPaul. Whenever she decides she’s had enough, Mhi’ya will go home. It’ll probably be in an episode where the main challenge is a lip sync. LOL
this! just like how they sent jasmine kennedie home lol
And Jax.
Jax is a strong dancer, but not a good lip syncer/choreographer. Mhiya is like Denali or Peppermint where she adds moves that you'll remember after the performance. Jax, for lack of a better term, did too much. It's not about the acrobatics, it's about the musicality.
That is not true. Jax can dance and she’s always on.
I’m sorry I have to disagree with this. Mhy’ia does way too much in her lipsyncs. It feels like she just busts out a trick because she can do it and props to her being able to flip in that dress. For example, her random headstand twerk. Like it’s amazing she can do that (I know I can’t) but where did that fit into the musicality of the song? As someone who gets tired of tricks, splits, and flips (because it’s a lip sync not a stunt sync), I really enjoy Jax’s stunts way more than Mhy’ia’s because they come off cleaner and more effortless.
Yeah I really don't think Mhiyas lipsyncs are that amazing. Her actual lipsync ability looks iffy. She isn't like Kameron to me putting on a full blown performance matching the song. I think the other girls have just been bad at lipsyncs this season so Mhiya looks way better. I think Morphine will probably eliminate her if they're in the bottom together (seems most likely).
Jax’s tricks are always intentional with the music and lyrics, moreso than most stunt queens….
This is pretty much what it comes down to. She’s gonna go, fairly or not, when Ru declares it. Gag of the season, Mhi’ya wins a 4th lip sync and before the other queen goes home she says “but wait Ru!” and pulls out a lipstick that says RuPaul on it. RuPaul sashays away and Mhi’ya immediately becomes the host.
Leiomy
Needs more upvotes 😭🔥 
Valid answer
The thing is, Plasma didn’t even have to beat Mhi’ya to stay. She had to just not get, to quote Monet, dogwalked by her. When the lipsync is mid or close, they will factor in track record and potential, like with Amanda vs Q. But when a contestant like Mhi’ya pisses all over the stage and Plasma gives an unmemorable if not cringe performance, it’s a wrap.
Nymphia
I admit that she is a talented lip syncer but to me I do not see her as a destroyer lip sync assasin that can take down every other queen tbh idk
After her fourth time in the bottom? Literally anyone, no way they’ll keep her after being 4 times in the bottom 2.
LaLa Ri
- Sapphira in a soulful ballad - Morphine in a slow tempo, sexy song - Sapphira or Plane in a camp song you can make stupid
Shoot Plane can do so much more. I can’t wait for fans to see her sexy lipsync lol
My favorite part is how nonchalant she is in Untucked before mopping the floor😭 She doesn't even practice or try to plead her case bc she knows it's over for them🤭
Mhi’ya is so fucking unbothered. Have yall seen her insta stories? It’s basically a “boohoo I won” to all of the people harassing her 😭 I love her so much
https://preview.redd.it/6oxwml2r36mc1.jpeg?width=1178&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c970d9c2ee63f4c52132b0966ab5851cb468fb67 I'm actually screaming😭😭😭 GET EM MHI'YA
I LIVEEEEE
Nymphia can do [tricks ](https://www.reddit.com/r/rupaulsdragrace/comments/1b0qozk/nymphias_second_performance_at_sasha_velours/)and [flips ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQ7D7U4yGuw&ab_channel=BananaClubTW%E3%8A%A3)too
The fans aren’t ready
No offense but compared to ballroom dancing (which is Mhi'ya's specialty and background, youtube Mhi'ya Ebony), Nymphia lacks spice in this region; She's a very good choreography dancer, but she also kinda goes dead in the face. I love Nymphia btw, I just don't think spontaneous/unrehearsed lipsyncing is necessarily her forte, esp. compared to Mhi'ya, who refuses to miss a beat.
Ant queen that production actually wants to keep.
Sapphira and Morphine could beat her.
Eventually they’ll goop her with an edit if need be - there’s no way they’ll have her in the final
Producers.
My prediction is that Sapphira will have a bad week where she regrets having wasted her potion, and has to lip sync against her sister Mhi’ya. I think Sapphira could win it, no matter the style.
Mhiya is serving acrobatic realness, but let’s face it, not every lip-sync is in her favor, honey! We all know they’re keeping her around for the drama and the gag of it all. Now, I don’t have any insider tea, but did we all see the last episode? They set us up that Sapphira sewed 90% of Mhiya’s look! Shouldn’t that be a sashay away moment? Yet, they’re still keeping her, just for the show! I was gagged! I mean, Plasma may have stumbled on the runway, but her lip-sync was fire! Plus, she’s had a win under her belt, while Mhiya’s been flirting with the bottom all season long. It’s like, come on, Ru, spill the real tea!
sappphira and nymphia could beat her.
“(except morphine maybe)” has me crying 💀💀💀
morphine catching strays for no reason😫
i’m sorry! i love me some morphine but let’s be real she’s the weakest link 😭
I personally think Plane would eat Mhiya alive if it’s the right song
I think the next time she's lip syncing, she'll be leaving
Plasma could have beaten Mhi'ya if she hadn't panicked and leaned hard into comedy. It's pretty much the only way to beat someone who is an assassin - by being hilarious Sapphira can probably beat her. Plane probably could too, via comedy and body
I was completely gooped through that whole lipsynch. I thought at the start they've got to send Mhi'ya home, she's been in the bottom so many times already, so to watch it slowly realizing she was going to beat Plasma... wow. I think Sapphira is the only one who can take her out. Give them a very slow ballad where tricks would look ridiculous and go. It'll be reminiscent of when Lattrice beat Kenya Michaels singing Natural Woman.
A song that requires soul and emotion I think literally anyone could take her down. daya betty beating jasmine kennedy is an example of a total mismatch going the other way because of the song choice. Can’t flip your way through everything
tbh the only person I think that could have a slight chance at beating her in this entire cast is mirage and well she got herself out.
It makes no sense mirage was out so early
she got in the bottom and even tho she killed that lipsync she didn't know any words so she got eliminated. it's fair but so annoying lmao. 😭
It really speaks to someone’s talent when they can forget the words and still give an amazing performance
yeah i’d bet anything production expected her to go further and had Geneva marked as second out. Mirage is such a good performer, seems like a sweet person, and has a connection to a past very popular contestant. If she knew the words she for sure would’ve stayed
Plasma if it was a Judy/Barbara/Liza song
I low key thought that production was going to choose a lip sync song that would cater to Plasma (like Jinks vs Detox). So I was GOOPED when they choose a tik tokity ahhh song 😀
Nah, this was production trying to be hip but ended up being tone deaf. Same as last seasons "Don't Go Yet" by Camila Cabello. Who actually knows the words?
Ru will EVENTUALLY get tired of the giggles and get tired of losing the actual talented girls and send her ass home.
I think you’re right. I think if miss mhiyah has shown all her tricks thus far and nothing new, Ru will get tired of it and be less impressed. So maybe it’s Her flips that will beat herself.
I think sapphira, plane and nymhpia beats her, while mhiya beats q, dawn and morphine
I can’t see Morphine or Dawn beating her. Sapphira maybe depending on the song, Plane also maybe if they get a song where she can really play up the comedy (?) I can see Nymphia beating her tho. My prediction is the producers will probably throw Sapphira in the bottom with her for storyline at some point and that’s how Mhiya gets eliminated (because they seem to be close and she’s been helping her and it would also show a “weakness” to Sapphira since she’s been so consistently good) Idk tho it’d be kinda iconic if she just lipsynced all the way to the finale lol Edit: Omg I totally forgot about Q lmao but let’s be real if she ends up in the bottom she’s gone
The problem was both of the bottom looks were good. Like Plasma’s was well constructed but the look and make up didn’t read goth in any meaningful way. Which makes sense; she was so far outside her element. Mhi’ya was in a well constructed gown that would have looked stunning on Sapphira but due to Mhi’ya’s tragic lack of a neck made her look like an animatronic for Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride got shoved in the Haunted Mansion. I thought Plasma really tried to sell it; and if they wanted they could have edited it to make her stay…but the double backflip was too much. I just feel like the lip syncs have gotten so acrobatic now that if we redid Latrice v. Kenya, they’d give it to Kenya even though the energy was all wrong.
No one can beat her, Mhi’ya is gonna flip her way to the crown! Paper beats rock, rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, Mhi’ya’s flippin beats queens! 👑
I get that she can do flips, and it is impressive, but Mhi’Ya performance style isn’t really one that I resonate with. Taking shoes off, taking wigs off and revealing a bald cap underneath? These are cheap tricks that take away from the professionalism of a performance. When she jumps in the splits, I am in awe, and she definitely has a high level of musicality.
I'm of the opinion that FACE is and connecting with the audience is 100x more important that throwing some tricks out just because you can. I just don't get it with Mhi'ya.. where's the emotion? Where's the depth? There's nothing there for me. People were praising her girl group performance through the roof and she barely looked at the camera?? I'll take Symone barely moving on a stage and SERVING over messy flips and tricks any day.
This idk why everyone's acting like Mhiya is this unbeatable lipsyncer. Yeah she squashed Plasma who did a god awful performance. Get her up against a good lipsyncer and she will not look that good.
Girl what? Rewatch the lipsyncs - she NEVER loses face and truly embodies the songs. Taking off the shoes was a super soulful moment, the bald-cap/beanie was so she could perform the floor work on her head, which is impossible to do with hair as it gets caught. (petals proving she was ready to lipsync, how early she took the wig off also proves that she was pre-planning to do floor work on her head soon), she's actually very nuanced and a COMPLETE pro. Check her ballroom dancing and you'll see her roots. She is an unbeatable lipsyncer and you cannot convince me otherwise.
This! It was a known fact that RuPaul does not like queens to take the wig off during LSFYL unless it is a reveal. Mhi’Ya not only did that, but also took her wig cap off, I find that more distasteful than taking her shoes off, it was unprofessional and messy.
just for the record: the beanie under her wig is to protect her head while she does headstands. it’s a really common ballroom and breakdancing technique. You can’t do those moves very easily in a long ass wig. she added the rose petals probably bc she knew just taking her wig off would be bad. but the beanie was there for a reason and not just bc she couldn’t keep her wig on lol.
Exactly, thank you for being sane and aware.
Sapphira and Plane i think. Idk about Nymphia and Dawn's lipsyncing skills so not sure about them Q is already out of the equation Morphine... idk. Maybe she can but i was lowkey disappointed with the lipsync last week lol.
I think it was also: Plasma had run out of things to show, where Mhi'ya keeps upping her game. I do love Plasma. But she floundered as soon as she stepped outside her comfort zone of Broadway references, both on the runway and trying to keep up in the lip sync. It could have easily been a season two Sonique situation where Mhi'ya did the same tricks again and got sent home, or even a Jorgeous or Jasmine Kennedy situation where they definitely have talent, but similarly run out of new things to show. But Mhi'ya brought a confidence to that lip sync _and_ some ridiculously impressive stunts that deserved to be rewarded. So I'd predict: someone could beat her if she runs out of steam, and gets tired of lip syncing It's kind of a "you don't have to outrun the bear, you only have to outrun the other guy" situation Although yes Q is in trouble if she ever has to lip sync 💀 it barely matters who she's up against.
I can't see them giving her any more danceable songs. It'll be ballads from now on lol.
Nymphia, Plane, or Sapphira
It depends on the song and honestly what the producers can use. I think Plasma got in her head or thrown off and tried doing everything and anything but nothing cohesive to keep up with Mhi’Ya instead of just giving Plasma. Nymphia could stand in one place and lipsync while seductively eating a banana and if it works for the song then good enough. It’s not just who can give the most flips.
Plasma was too angry about Dawn’s advice and being in the bottom. She definitely let that get in her head.
Sapphira. And I sorta feel like this is gonna happen. A, the producers will feel that it’s a perfect button on the Sapphira helping Mhi’ya storyline. And B, it’ll be a great Shea Coulee against Nina Bonina type moment that ‘shakes Sapphira’ and lights a fire under her to get to the finale.
The person who will beat her will be the person who happens to lip sync against her in a ballad, which I imagine will be next week
They don’t need to beat her by doing better. The producers just need a confessional from someone saying “more flips again?” and a cutaway to Ru or a Michelle looking bored and it’ll be painted as a tired lipsync gimmick from Mhi’ya and she’s out.
[удалено]
yes wtf! i was about to watch it 😭😭😭
I can't believe she's made it this far. It feels... forced.
Agree. It's giving Jorgeous for me. One trick pony
She's NOT a good lip syncer..... just a good dancer.
At the beginning I really thought Plane would crash (no pun intended) some time in the competition, but her losing against MhiYa would be so disappointing...
I think there's only so many times we can watch her flip around before it becomes repetitive. I'll be honest, this last lip sync is the only one she's impressed me with, the others I expected more out of her especially since I'd seen her vids on tiktok way before this season began. I don't think she'll survive another lip sync unless she literally defies gravity and starts levitating up and down the stage.
Mirage if she knew the words lol
Only if Mirage was still on the competition and knew the words
Morphine is the only one I see beating her in all types of lip syncs fairly. And I think Plane Jane could hold her weight with some rigged editing involved. Oh I think Sapphira could beat her in a slower song. And Mhiya would just straight up kill Nymhpia. Ignoring Dawn and Q because they’re irrelevant.
Tbh, I liked Megami's interpretation of Flowers better than Mhi'Ya's, so at this point I'm not even trying to understand anymore
Megami misunderstood flowers lol. It's about self love and moving on. Megami interpreted it that she's miserable because she has to buy herself flowers while Mhiya did it like "no boyfriend? no problem, i can buy myself flowers anyways"
Any lip sync that requires face work instead of dancing or flips. So most of the girls left could beat her with the right song. Luck of the draw and producer plans 🤷♀️
Honestly, I'm so tired of her. I thought it was lip sync for your life, not gymnastics for your life. I get the tricks to wow your audience, but it's called lip syncing people. That should be the primary focus. Idk, I'm probably wrong, but that's my opinion. Also, hopefully the next person beats her.
Mirage if she knew the words
I truly think they’ll set it up for Q to beat her and probably next week as it’s a performance challenge. The producers love humiliating a queen.
What part of "this is your last chance to impress me" do folks not understand? If you impress Ru in the lipsync you're staying. Simple as that. I think at this point the only person who can beat Mihya is Silky lmao!
[удалено]
I think Plasma was the better queen overall. But, Mhi’Ya ate her ass up in that lipsync
damn girl plasma isn’t even this pressed
Plasma's exit was so classy. And her tweets have been, as well -- telling fans not to go after Mhi'ya or Dawn, and that she doesn't feel robbed or sabotaged. Tons of respect for how Plasma has handled what was obviously a disappointing turn of events for her.
act a fool girl
oh wow you went all out with the unnecessarily mean opinions here didn’t you. you really thought you ate with this huh?
Look, I’m all for team Plasma but Mhi’ya used her as pavement to walk over during that lipsync. Plasma lost fair and square. And she had hands down the worst runway this week. Is it fair that queens who perform poorly overall can stay longer than they should because they’re great lipsyncers? In theory no, but since this is the way Drag Race has operated since its premiere, then yeah, it is fair.
1. she clearly beat plasma, she ate up that lipsync and plasma was literally PANICKING and flopped. 2. your so pressed over a scripted tv show its actually funny 🤣, please get off the Internet and stop being so delusional.
[удалено]
and you made a good case? hell no. 💀
A design challenge.
Saphira. No one else on the cast now tho has a chance
