I just sat there in shock for Baga’s critique. She said nothing right. I wonder if that spoiled her chances in Ru’s eyes. Hopefully a strike against her at least.
I saw this headline the day after this episode first aired. Wonder if they still feel the same.

Wow - you could definitely see the cracks in Baga's relationship with his Mom. On the entirely opposite side of the spectrum The Viv, Chery and Davina's relationships with their family members was so lovely and they were all so game to jump in and support their family members.

I think this episode drove home for me how great Cheryl was. So lovely! We all knew that she wasn't going to win, but I liked watching her along the way. I also had a hard time figuring out who was who between her and her sister in drag.
I guess I'm cheering for Davina to win? I think this is going to be one of those seasons that I am going to feel just a shrug at the winner. Sure, whoever. I like Viv too.
