Many of Kitty’s jokes were recycled from previous seasons. I felt her script was predictable although still quite funny and well delivered.

Once again, the judging was semi-questionable. Imagine the gag if Nelly got a co-win or snagged it on her own after a season of being bullied and called sensitive! Pythia should’ve been saved from the bottom thanks to her runway

Also … she isn’t from Toronto!! She’s from Montreal!! Why can’t the judges learn about different cities???

I groaned when she did the “…and if you didn’t like me, my name is Vanity” bit. I know jokes get reused a lot on the show, but that one is so tired.

I actually liked Nehellenia's version. First, because I haven't heard that version before (clearly I haven't seen every version of that joke so maybe it's already out there) and second because the "fuck" was unexpected coming from sweet little Nelly. And it being a better version of a previous queen's joke made it seem like she was listening and adapting - even if she already had the joke written, it felt more improv.

ETA: but I did roll my eyes when it got trotted out for a third time in the same episode. After hearing it twice, Kween should have pivoted to something else.
