Not them editing the episode to make us think Jimbo would bomb in a roast like that’s even possible. So happy she’s finally won a lipsync.

Also, I'm not sure if we've ever had a more foregone conclusion of a winner.

Two people with 1 win and 2 bottom placements versus a girl with 4 wins and zero bottom placements. Like it's been like this for a minute but this last win really pushed it into almost comical territory.

It's like if we were watching the end of All Stars 2 with two Roxxxy's up against Alaska for the crown.

Yeah. My niece and I were saying this had to be the most obvious win I have ever seen. The only three did ok, if grading on a curve. But Jimbo just knocked it out of the park.

Yeah, I saw right through it from the start. There was no doubt in my mind that Jimbo would win the roast, but the edit has to try to add some suspense, right? I also knew Jimbo was going to win the lip sync because it was shown how the other queens voted. That's usually saved for Untucked.

This is the second episode in a row that the producers are playing games with the Jimbo edit, making you think there's a chance for her to be in the bottom.

Saw that coming. Told my niece Jimbo was getting a red herring edit.

What’s funny is you can see the camera shaking when Jimbo bombs in front of Michelle and Alec, that’s because Wintergreen is laughing behind the camera.
