Ron Watches RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Season 7 Episode 7

We saw Sally™ sashay away in the previous episode. Who goes home next? Let’s watch and find out!

Sally going home, as Bonnie points out, shakes the queens a little, as she had a badge, but she still wasn’t safe. You can still get sent home. I mean, that really shouldn’t be surprising at this point. We all saw what happened to Plasma.

There’s a little celebration of Paige getting a badge and Elle now being the frontrunner, but I don’t think Elle is going to win the whole season because the conversation swiftly moves to Catrin and Tayris being the only queens without a badge, and Elle asking if maybe it’s the romance that’s holding them back. I think Elle might just be the Plasma of the season.

After that, we get to Bonnie and Sillexa arguing, because Bonnie thinks Sillexa should have been in the bottom instead. Is this little tiff going to extend to the whole episode? Or are they just going to leave it here? Let’s see.

The next day, the queens do a little badge recap, and the fact that Elle is now the frontrunner doesn’t get much airtime. I really think that Elle is going to be eliminated somewhere down the line and not win, or will get to the finale but not win. I think the production is subtly laying the groundwork for Elle to lose the season.

Another thing that’s recapped as they wait for the RuMail to arrive is the argument between Bonnie and Sillexa. As pointed out by Bonnie, Sillexa still seems bothered by Bonnie thinking she should have been in the bottom. Bonnie apologizes, but I don’t think she should have. As she and Catrin point out, Sillexa wants to hear opinions, but only if they’re positive.

Run finally arrives and gets straight to the point. The mini challenge is the reading challenge, and…well, I guess the queens were illiterate, because what even were those reads. Maybe I’m just tired and sleepy, because I had to work today on my day off? Anyway, Bones wins, although I half expected Ru to say that no one won the challenge.

Ru then tells the queens that this is the Snatch Game episode, but modified. The queens will be their characters, but taking part in a dating game at the same time. It’s like the All Stars version.

Catrin is feeling good about her chances of winning a badge this episode, which is a sign that she may just win…or get embarrassed. Paige and Bones, on the other hand, might just show a funny side of them this episode, since they’re both very nervous about the Snatch Game. This could be a Rudemption for them.

During the walkthrough, Bonnie makes Ru laugh with her plan of doing Cher as a chair. I laughed too! But this could be a set-up! She might flop! It might be a Mhi’ya thing where the judges are laughing but not because it’s good!

Ru also seems to like the idea of Catrin doing Bonnie Tyler, and Catrin is also extra confident in the confessionals, so she might also be set up for a fall here. I’m paranoid, sorry not sorry!

And you know what, maybe I shouldn’t have been paranoid, because as the Snatch Game starts, it’s Catrin and Bonnie making me laugh! Bones, though, Jesus Christ. That is a definite bottom placement, my goodness. And Paige Three might just join her there! But Bones, my goodness. I mean…my god. That was so uncomfortable. I still don’t think she’s going to get eliminated, though. This is going to be her ~vulnerability~ episode, because they’re going to crown her at the end of the season.

On the runway, the queens have to do holiday couture and Paige Three has a new silhoutte! It’s not a bikini! Bones is also looking good, which she really needs because that Snatch Game. Ooff.

Everybody gets critiqued this episode, and Sillexa is the first one to get a negative critique, but only because the judges are going down the line and Bones is further down. I’d be very surprised if they praise Bones. And yeah, it’s going to be Sillexa, Bones, and Tayris in the bottom. This is also going to be a slam dunk for Bonnie, and Catrin will get a top placement, but she isn’t winning this one.

There is a bit of tension between Paige and Elle when Paige says that the bottom four of Tayris, herself, Elle, and Sillexa had the better looks, and that the reason they’re in the bottom is because the Snatch Game was the bigger part of the scoring tonight. I mean, I sorta get what Paige is saying, but I can also understand how it could sound to Elle and the rest of the Celtic Sisterhood.

Bonnie wins! I think it’s now Catrin’s turn to be Jan’d!

In the bottom is Bones and Paige Three, and it is going to be emotional, since they’re friends and all. But I also think this means it’s goodbye for Paige Three! But honestly, I didn’t think the lip sync was all that exciting, so it’s a toss up as to who’s going home. BUT LIKE I SAID. They’re giving Bones the winner edit, so it’s Paige Three going home.

If any of you guys like what I do, feel free to leave me a tip!
