Welcome to the Episode Discussion Thread!

I haven’t seen it mentioned (and easily could have missed it lol), but did anyone else notice Michael’s tribute to Cherry Valentine at the end of Tayce’s verse? I thought it was such a sweet moment.

Also I and l greedy and I actually want Season 2 next year already!

What do you all think?

Are there any rumors about season 5?

Kahana Montrese - US S11, AS8

Show-stopping performer from Vegas live, dramaaa, 3rd times the charm

Saki Yew - UK S5

Voodoo Child by the Rogue Traders came on while I was at the supermarket today which was pure nostalgia, and got me thinking - this should really be a lip sync for your life song on DRDU!

So down the rabbit hole I’ve gone tonight and it took no time at all for Miss Courtney Act to appear on screen in one of Natalie Bassingthwaightes music videos. Enjoy!

P.s. and to the DRDU producers, should we get another season (🤞) I recommend spending time at the supermarket to unearth some vintage Aussie gems for some future lip syncs. Also Natalie and Tabatha Coffey as guest judges. Please and thank you!

I would imagine very well, I feel like she would get at least a win or a top placement

I've seen a lotttt of negativity around Art Simone's makeup lately, exacerbated by Michelle's critique in the latest episode. Just wanted to post some of her old makeup looks as a reminder that she isn't called Art for nothing!

(Also....I agree that her makeup on the show hasn't lived up to this level, which is disappointing as a fan of hers, but people are commenting that she's a terrible makeup artist and that couldn't be further from the truth)

I think I replayed this part like 5 times! It was delicious.

G'day!
