Ben and Bianca are officially the best, Joslyn is growing on me - she seemed pretty vapid at first but it turns out that's she is pretty bright, or at least well-prepared. I don't mind Adore Delano but I don't think i quite see what everybody else sees in her. I want Darienne to stick around as long as possible because she is just so glam. Anyone else I don't care so much about.

I live for these RuCaps and your enthusiasm, Adrian!

Wait. Stop me if I'm wrong, but isn't it Season 6, Episode 5, not vice versa?

I skipped all your spoilers and will now go watch it myself...

If Joslyn gets eliminated, will anyone notice? Will we even remember the episode? She's eerily like The Silence from Doctor Who (look it up).

Laganja deserved that lip sync win and I could not be happier that I don't have to watch Gia smack her gum and flip her hair anymore.

Ben rocked it. Again. No contest.

As a reviewer from the AV Club mentioned, the runway in this episode (and really all of the over-the-top Ru worship on the show) reads less as narcissism and more as a take-down of Tyra Banks.

@3 - It is! Thank you. I fixed it.

I'm surprised that Trinity wasn't up for elimination--I thought her Nikki Minaj was kinda lame as far as not adding much character and banter to the snatch game.

I think Ben was also helped out by the fact that a couple of the panelists were really down with Maggie Smith noticed her pitch perfect mannerisms.

@1, I think Adore's been getting by on looks, loads of personality and perceived untapped potential.

I'm glad Laganja survived---yeah she cries a bit, but her physical talents are off the charts.

Adore is 'getting by' on her charisma and sense of humor, if anything. The judges read her for her cheap dresses every single week.

@4 Joslyn is getting a quiet edit, but she has funny moments. 'Cumin' and the Johnson joke during snatch game were both funny.

Joslin us turning it out. I think she will make it far of not top 3. Her Prostitution whore housewife was spot on and her read of Courtney acts fran Dresher was so accurate.

Leganja is soo overrated. Her acting has Sucked and her Rachel Zoe was a sin.

My dream three- Ben, Bianca, Courtney.
But that's never gonna happen cause those three wouldn't give the drama the producers want for the ending.

So realistic three- Ben, Bianca, Adore. Bianca will turn on Ben, Adore sticking to her new Drag-Step-mom.

And I would so have rather had Gia stick around for another week than deal with Laganja for another second.

I know it is ancient history but, the match game that is being parodied here is from the seventies not the sixties. For those of us who watched it then, it makes a difference.

Anyone at the party at the Century Ballroom heard Ben start a commercial break with "Let's talk about editing!" I've seen a review or two that accused Ben of sandbagging us with his claims not to be able to do a British accent, but he asserts that he never said that, and that the statement was very carefully pieced together from two thoughts.

During Snatch Game, we saw almost nothing of Darienne Lake, even though I know she's funny. In fact, the entire middle group got almost no screen time during Snatch Game. Joslyn was the exception with her introduction "We found out it's pronounced 'Johnson'." and the hilariously drawn-out cumin joke.

At this point, the top three are known, just not outside the production company and the contestants themselves (possibly even only the top four know who the top three are). The editing we're getting is setting us up for each elimination, so you're going to see more of the queen to be eliminated leading up to her elimination, and aiming us toward knowing the top three for the finale.

Poor Miss Lake isn't getting screentime lately because she has been woefully middle-of-the-road, and quite likely because she won't make the top three. The editors and producers are making sure we know who Adore is, though.

@12: Pooh Corner! Pooh Corner!

@13 Thank you! obviously someone wasn't listening last night at century.

@13, 14 - Fine, if Ben gets sued for my transgression, let's say I lied. But does anyone out there really think that what we're shown in an hour of tv accurately reflects what actually happened on-set?

The editors are clever, crafty people, taking real events and making a compelling narrative out of it. Maybe Gia Gunn isn't a complete idiot and asshole, but the editors have at least shown us a version of her that is.

@12: "During Snatch Game, we saw almost nothing of Darienne Lake, even though I know she's funny."

Her Paula Deen shtick wasn't.

@13: YES. Thankfully this isn't Twitter, but still.

Please wait...
