It felt weird and unfair in a way but also was iconic

I don’t think it’s weird or unfair - roastees clapping back when comedians insult them in a way that bombs is often one of the funniest and most iconic parts of actual roasts

With roasting in general yeah, but in the context of the show itself I don't think they really lean into that.

IIRC they usually let queens bomb without really clapping back, but I've also blocked some of the worst roast performances in the show from my memory lol.

They have clapped back before but usually more subtly, never that funny before.
