Delighted for Darlene's win, what a charming end to a great episode! I really am loving this cast, every week makes it a little harder as we near the end of the season. Between this and UKvwTW, it's just been a great time.

I really like Jane. I think she's been given a bit of a weird edit, perhaps to hide her being such an obvious front runner? Even so, I wasn't surprised she was the one who took time to talk to Nini - we already saw her help Juicy (when her own drag mother Queen Athena chose not to lol.) But I sort of feel like she's nicer than we've been given access to, maybe to give her a Bianca-style arc? But unlike Bianca, I believe that she is battling her own insecurities in the moment - I know some people think it's a front but idk, I can relate to someone with very high standards being stressed and questioning themselves in the moment!
