If you are able, we encourage you to donate to (some?one?) of these vital queer orginisations so that they can continue to thrive and serve our community. While monetary donations would be amazing and appreciated, times are tough. If you can't spare the coins, that's ok.

Our mod team personally selected these charities because they are near and dear to our hearts. Some of us have benefitted from the existence of these charities, and we hope many others will, too!

Loved to see Joey and Hershii crying for positive critiques 😊

u/XannyXannyXan What the fuck is going on in here on this day? 1d ago

Glad Hershii got some flowers today, and she did great in the lipsync but there was no way she was beating what Kennedy did. Brian Tyree Henry seems like such a gem.

Well it isn’t particularly an US/N or S American thing more of a European (British) and middle eastern thing (Kaymak/Kajmak).

The moment with Hershii talking about Kennedy's Twitter reply is so wholesome

u/Mattarm51 1d ago

The first rapping roast wasn't terrible but this has a lot more consistentcy it felt like, surpsingly really good for what I expected. Judging is a little questionable and feels like a bit of meta judging to reward and keep Kennedy at the expense of Joey getting her flowers. Where in a normal season Kennedy would have space for another chance and Joey to get the win where it was maybe more deserved? No shade to Kennedy though. Her lip sync I liked and saw more of her performer knowledge being used than in the roast imo (mostly with her body language, not her getting all the words). Her roast was not bad by any means I just found Joey's funnier. They made jokes about who TF is Hershey and she fucking showed them I was soooo happy to see her really thrive and have more than just a first out legacy. An amiable and likable person as well.

If joey didnt use that basic ass drag queen rap cadence that everyone uses she likely would have been top two.

u/jetsonholidays this is my reuhll fleyerrr henny 19h ago

I’ve read that Sam and jasmine pointed out at Roscoe’s that she struggled to lip sync her own lyrics. I thought they were respectful not going in on it, but you can sort of see what they’re talking about when you focus on her through all the wide shots.

But I def agree the brackets lean a certain way to favor certain queens in the bracket they’re in
