The reading challenge isn't a thing that I've ever really found funny but I can tell whether it's awful or not. It was okay.
The snatch game itself was good enough. It wasn't the best snatch game ever but Ella and Kitty did really great. They both really embodied their characters and did really well.
Pretty everyone did at least decent on the runway. The only one who didn't do well is River.
The main problem of the episode was the judging, not the challenges. I agree with the top 2 and with the winner.
Let me get this out of the way before I talk about the bottom 2. I have not watched Home Alone and so I don't think that I can really judge Scarlett's performance. It didn't make me laugh, but since I have never seen the movie she was referencing, I can't really say whether she actually did well or not. All I can say is that I don't think she should have done the character she didn't get in drag. She just put a jumper on and went with it. Her runway, in my opinion, wasn't good but I still can't say whether she should have been bottom 2 or not, since how she did in both challenges matters.
River definitely deserved to be in the bottom but I don't think that Choriza should have been in the bottom 2. It should have been Vanity or Krystal. With the bottom 2 we were given, I do agree that a double sashay was justified. Whilst River did better than Choriza in the lipsync, she still didn't do well at all.
Most people are just upset that Choriza and River (the fan favourites) went home and so are rating this episode lower than it deserves. Don't get me wrong, I love River and Choriza, they are 2 of my 3 favourites this season, but this episode was not bad enough to be called "the worst episode in drag race history" or given 1 star. This will most likely be an episode that people don't mind as much after they've calmed down about the elimination.
Overall good episode with judging that was a bit off.
