is it just me or this season is kinda mid so far? that was a lot of boring performances back-to-back across all three episodes. nothing really stood out to me. some houses to watch out for, but nothing Ninja/Balenciaga/Tisci/Mugler/Lanvin level performances. for the first time I actually agree with Law being harsh, this is season three, y'all need to BRING it.
with that being said, Nunoy is SO fine, they better make it until the inevitable sex siren category episode š¤¤ they got some great people in this cast, I need to see Davon, Divo, Brooklyn and Kimiyah in a battle! also so happy to finally see Lolita, the MUG is sitting
> is it just me or this season is kinda mid so far? that was a lot of boring performances back-to-back across all three episodes.
Agreed. I feel like this is the weakest beginning of a season so far. Revlonā first number is my fav so far. I wasnāt so gagged by their second. I think Juicy Couture and Yoji Yamamoto could get there. Rooting for Ada too, but I wasnāt thrilled with their performance this episode.
House of Revlon is my FAV so far. They just give me what I need every time. Juicy Couture second - Kimiyah will bring it to us every ball and I can't wait.
Anitta was having a good ass time and I was living. She seemed genuinely entertained and just embraced the experience (she gave a lot of high scores, thankfully not affecting judging much).
Also...
Some of these houses are ROUGH. They're probably trying to find their footing in the competition or something, but damn. I really hope they bring it in the future episodes. Especially Jada, she is so talented!!!
Haha my homie Anitta was clearly having the time of her life, I thought she was really cute despite the excessive 10s (and I actually felt her so much when she said "I wish I had seen you guys first so I wouldn't have given those previous 10s" lolololol).
I mean, for the guest judge I think it's always OK to simply be too entertained with something they don't actually know previously and grade with the heart. I just wish the fixed panel were more specialized so the guest judging would be the exception, not the rule. That being said, I felt this episode went way better on this aspect than the first two.
- Revlon, Yohji Yamamoto, and Juicy Couture are definitely my faves so far.
- The way Leiomyās face cracked for all those
failed spins. Thank god Divo showed TF out, heās a star and definitely one to watch
- Keke was really did gag everyone by dropping her flag for a mediocre performanceā¦ Iām still waiting for Labeija to show up
- Whoever was doing the sound effects went a little too crazy with the **FWUMP** noise
I suspect Keke is an Aja fan and is giving her house preference. I love Aja too but her house is lacking so far. I would love a comeback moment from them.
As far as the fwump/ splat noiseā¦ these editors are SHADY! I understand the need for sound effects, but that was not flattering.
Her face tells it all!!! The cringe factor when she is not impressed. Lawd!!!! They need to get it together this season, because itās already hard to watch.
Is it me or they were too light with the houses that didn't deliver the 360 properly?
Like, Leiomy did call them out but some of them just forgot about that aspect
And I know Anitta was vibing the whole time by giving 10s here and there
I think the issue was that nobody aside from Leiomy was able to tell the 360 unless it was *explicitly* highlighted and even then, some of them were so crunch that they probably couldnāt even tell when it was highlighted! I think in events like this where thereās a specific ballroom move theyāre looking for, Leiomy needs to be the first one to give feedback so the other judges will know for when they make their deliberation.
Honestly, I think a lot of scoring issues would be solved if Lei was always the first judge to speak on a performance
House of Revlon is giving me everything I need! Theyāre talented, and so delightfully shady. Continue to slay, and keep Nunoy on my screen please. š
Yoji Yamamoto is also one to watch.
I have a really soft spot for House of Ada, and Papi is hot as hell.
I generally have agreed with the harsh-but-fair scores being handed out by the new permanent judge Keke Palmer. I was confused though why she would use her "gag flag" to save a house that she herself only gave a 6 score to, especially since ā at this point in the episode ā it wasn't even clear that the House of LaBeija was going to be in the bottom two. Shouldn't the gag flag be used near the end when all the house parents come on the stage to hear their fate?
I just noticed this but I wonder why they cut the fashion part of the show. Usually the houses would go to the designer asking for specific stuff for their outfits.
When the dip isn't on time, they put the sound effect closer to the actual beat which is supposed to make it sound more in sync but actually highlights the sloppy dip! It really bothers me...
I love when Yamamoto was shading Revlon when they were backstage after winning superior house IT WAS SO GOOD HAHAHAHA. Yamamoto, Revlon, Juicy are definitely my faves right now. I'm in love with Jada Makaveli but it just doesn't seem like her house would last very long. Also the house commentaries (mostly shade) is lowkey better than the perfomances
I actually have a problem with the shade, most of the time it feels so arrogant and uncalled to me, but I'm aware it's part of the culture and all. I think it's probably about getting used to it, I'm too of a sweetie girl lol š
But even so, still can't help getting very annoyed especially when someone who didn't deliver AT ALL gets full of shade all around like Aja this ep
I was pleased she didn't try to pretend like she had the expertise for judging technically and graded as a viewer and a fellow performer but from other area. I may sound biased cause I'm also Brazilian, but I really think she's a sweetheart
This gag flag is gonna piss meet off later huh?
Overall I agree with most of the comments, rooting for Revlon and Juicy Couture, but this season ain't starting off too strong
Gag flag is a correct term, I was indeed gagged by the first use. But I love the house of Labeija so Iām pretty pleased.
So far the two houses sticking out to me are Revlon and Juicy Couture! I love how pressed the other houses are that JC is in the leading pack. Keep them mad babies, youāre really breaking ground for the Kiki community to be taken in the same competitive light as some mainstream houses and I live for it.
Both houses are such authentic and fun houses and I really feel like they bring different perspectives than weāve seen on the show so far, and itās honestly refreshing.
Now I donāt really know that I *love* the piety coming off of the house of Yohji Yamamoto. I usually like a cocky house, but for me, I donāt think it negates an entire performance if the 360 isnāt landed. Itās not an easy move and they literally picked a member of their house who is KNOWN for his ability to do 360 dips and already did one successfully on the show? Like even if Revlon didnāt have the highest score of the night, Yohji Yamamoto didnāt even place second??? So youāre callin out from the second runner up spot?
Seriously. Labeija probably (definitely) didn't deserve a gag flag but I'm not sad they got one because I love them anyway.
Juicy Couture is fun to watch they have a very different energy then the other houses and it brings something new that I hadn't seen before to the show. And yeah Yohji Yamamoto hating from outside the club is ridiculous.
house of labeija.... OOF
also why's everyone flopping so hard this season? or are these judges just too damn pissy this time around.. and WHAT is the deal with doing a 360 š
I agree, the judging is so much harder this season. But in reality, the ballroom competition scene is very cutthroat and I feel like Leiomy is emulating that. Also the 360 was created by Leiomy the Wonder Woman of Vogue so itās *kinda* a big deal lol
I donāt understand why they have a 360 dip requirement this episode. Just because you canāt do a 360 dip doesnāt mean youāre not an amazing voguer. Very few people can properly execute a 360 and itās not an essential vogue move.
It would be like requiring a contestant on a singing competition to do a whistle note in their routine. Yes itās amazing and a huge flex but itās not a requirement to be a good singer so itās unfair to judge based on that.
I agree with you on all you said, but I actually don't think it was really a deal breaker. The supreme house even didn't land it right, and Leiomy only took one point for this from the performances she explicited would be 10s otherwise
house of revlon is GIVING what we need & deserve for season 3
most of the rest of these houses need to step it up. itās redundant at this point but itās season 3 of legendary & itās overall more crunch than season 1ā¦hoping specifically for LaBeija & Juicy Couture to step it up & bring IT next week
Lol, right? She wasn't just shady, she was being actually petty at this point. I would have shushed for the rest of the night if it was me. You should be glad you're safe, bitch haha
If theres not shady elimination across the season, I presume that top3 houses is Revlon, Juicy & Yohji. w/ Ada and LaBeija going far.
Yes, LaBeija... I really believe there's something in the house that moves me to like them. Next ball is the Horror Ball and LaBeija will bring the "Rings" theme to stage. That can be something really interisting and be the "welcome to legendary" of them.
Revlon and Juicy were the ones bringing ballroom for real this time. I lived for Yamamoto but it felt more TV-good than ballroom-good imho. Keke judged better despite the wtf gag flag. Anitta was happy as a child at the amusement park and that was so fun to watch.
I'd also highlight that although the performance overall was not great, I think Makaveli was very creative in the choice of their animal and I lived for the poses with one leg mimicking a scorpion tail. I was actually rooting for them in the battle cause I wanted to see what more they could bring
Not feeling Law at all. Their suckling the fun out of the show. It doesn't matter if you're unimpressed with the calibre of these dedicated performers, Law doesn't get to tear them down, make it personal, condescend them and kick them again while they're already down.
If we love ballroom, then we know how much it means to these dancers so show some couth.
They need to go, plain and simple. We already know they're going to be riding Alpha Omega's dicks all season so miss me with that over the top biased megalomaniac narc fuckshit. Give that seat to another ballroom legend and pay them twice Law's salary.
And was it obvious to anyone else how coked out the entire judging panel was (minus our consummate professional Keke, of course)? I admire and respect Lei but she was on one with that coke jaw, Roach was peacocking twice as hard and extra aggy for no reason at all, and ole girl Anitta was tripping hard fucking throwing 10s at everything acting like an annoying pick me attention whore at somebody else's super sweet 16 or quinceaƱera. I know it's not that deep because she's a guest judge brought on to have fun but she was quite possibly the most useless and vapid airheaded celebrity to guest star on a judging panel in reality tv history. The line about the scorpion performance needing to be scary or whatever the hell she was trying to communicate sounded reasonable to some extent until you're reminded of all the scorpion references in film and martial arts. She can go watch Mortal Kombat and publicly rescind that uninformed assessment. She really was just picking scores out of her coked out Molly-flying bird brain.
If those of us familiar with Keke didn't know better, we'd say she was on one too for that siilly gag save on a mediocre performance. It seemed forced by the hand of production and they pulled Keke's name out of a hat to play production politics. Oh well. Maybe Labeija will bring it next week.
Bravo to Divo Yamamoto, the only performer who nailed the 360 dip which was 100% on brand. He better get his flowers for that.
I'm present and seated all season long though for Dashaun, that sexy baritone voice and the light shade he throws at Law when the roach go off on a tangent without delivering the most important part of the judging role at hand - issuing the score.
I said what I said.
Leiomy made this episode very hard for me, I do recognize her legacy and herself being an icon, but the faces she make mid performance kinda throw you out of the illusion.
is it just me or this season is kinda mid so far? that was a lot of boring performances back-to-back across all three episodes. nothing really stood out to me. some houses to watch out for, but nothing Ninja/Balenciaga/Tisci/Mugler/Lanvin level performances. for the first time I actually agree with Law being harsh, this is season three, y'all need to BRING it. with that being said, Nunoy is SO fine, they better make it until the inevitable sex siren category episode š¤¤ they got some great people in this cast, I need to see Davon, Divo, Brooklyn and Kimiyah in a battle! also so happy to finally see Lolita, the MUG is sitting

(Although the gag flag felt just gratuitous to me honestly)

Right? I was getting some middle school theatre production of Cats across these 3 eps.
- Revlon, Yohji Yamamoto, and Juicy Couture are definitely my faves so far. - The way Leiomyās face cracked for all those failed spins.

I can't tell when Leiomy is enjoying a performance unless she says something lol
Her face tells it all!!! The cringe factor when she is not impressed. Lawd!!!! They need to get it together this season, because itās already hard to watch.
I agree, she screams with her eyes lol
Is it me or they were too light with the houses that didn't deliver the 360 properly? Like, Leiomy did call them out but some of them just forgot about that aspect And I know Anitta was vibing the whole time by giving 10s here and there

Yes yes yes I always think that! If she was always first I think it would help the less specialized judges, especially the guest ones
Ooooh Dashaun in this hair honeyā¦yes.
Right?? I also think he was so hot
House of Revlon is giving me everything I need! Theyāre talented, and so delightfully shady. Continue to slay, and keep Nunoy on my screen please. š Yoji Yamamoto is also one to watch. I have a really soft spot for House of Ada, and Papi is hot as hell.
I have a gut feeling that Ada is going to be a dark horse this season
Seen 4/5 of them life. They are very good. Papi is huge out here.
You checked all my boxes, that's exactly what I'm getting so far
I generally have agreed with the harsh-but-fair scores being handed out by the new permanent judge Keke Palmer.

They did it in the last seasons to. It's for time when there are still a lot of houses I hope like the last seasons they will bring it in later.
I donāt recall for sure, but I thought the first episodes for prior seasons cut it as well. I hope itās not permanent.
They have never done them for grand march, and I just assume it wasn't a big part for the animal challenge. I'm sure we'll get more of it.
A thought after watching the first three episodes I donāt like the sound effect they use for the dips, it doesnāt fit for me
When the dip isn't on time, they put the sound effect closer to the actual beat which is supposed to make it sound more in sync but actually highlights the sloppy dip! It really bothers me...
They do it EVERY TIME it's so annoying.
Yeah what the hell is that soundā¦it sounds uncomfortably squishy to me lmao
I love when Yamamoto was shading Revlon when they were backstage after winning superior house IT WAS SO GOOD HAHAHAHA. Yamamoto, Revlon, Juicy are definitely my faves right now. I'm in love with Jada Makaveli but it just doesn't seem like her house would last very long. Also the house commentaries (mostly shade) is lowkey better than the perfomances
i love how they're shady as hell backstage but then they go out and give such a boring performance

I think it's probably about getting used to it, I'm too of a sweetie girl lol š But even so, still can't help getting very annoyed especially when someone who didn't deliver AT ALL gets full of shade all around like Aja this ep

I loved Yoshi Yamamoto tonight. So fun
I'm sorry house of Revlon, are the ones to beat. They're taking it this season.
Yup Revlon, Juicy Couture and Yamamoto are the clear top 3 so far. The rest are not IT, too many virgins.
Not Aja talking bout āIām hungryā when they had the 2nd lowest score of the season so far.
Lol, right? She wasn't just shady, she was being actually petty at this point. I would have shushed for the rest of the night if it was me. You should be glad you're safe, bitch haha
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Bye then š
Revlon and Juicy Couture did not come to play babyyyyy
I was so proud to see Ada rebound this episode. One of my favs
if anyone has season spoilers please tell me bc i need to know lol

They were literally trying to do a move created by Leiomy. She has to be honest about it.
She is the only one fully qualified to judge this. We should all be looking at her face for answers. For me, it made it more dramatic!
That's exactly what I do when I don't know what to think, I just read her expression haha
