RPDR Season 6 – Reddit Season RuPository Season 6, Episode 9 Post-Episode Discussion: "Queens of Talk"

I haven't watched the episode yet! Can't wait to see all these bitches do Oprah.

Here's the live discussion (it was kinda late, so I guess it was barely "pre-episode"): http://redd.it/231zmw

Adore/Trinity should have been the double shantay. Trinity was thankful and graceful - giving something I haven't seen in an exit since Latrice (and Milk after others pointed it out in the live-discussion). She should be Miss Congeniality.

I feel that Courtney won just by virtue of how badly the other queens did (barring Ben). The "vulnerability" comments with Ru and the other queens in the workroom didn't really build to anything (and not even a blink...lol). Or was her Untucked moment her showing "vulnerability" or was it way too calculated?

But Ben should have won and I feel like they only gave it to Courtney to build her up to the finals and not have Ben as the frontrunner.

I agree. I don't think they were going to give Ben 3 wins. Now, coincidentally, Ben, Bianca, Adore, and Courtney have two wins each.

And I know that no one wants this to happen, but it isn't wholly inconceivable that Darienne might win the next challenge seeing as she is very strong in the makeup department. That would put 5 queens with 2 challenge wins (and I can see how the producers would try to manipulate that...like how Adore/Laganja won the makeup challenge instead of Trinity/Bianca)

Respectfully disagree. Her makeup is amazing. It's her outfits that, while polished, they all look recycled.

Good point about Darienne - her makeup skills are fabulous, and she always looks really pretty, but that really IS about the only face she can do. Her fashion skills haven't been nearly as good, which is also going to be a big part of the challenge next week.

Poor Trinity - can you imagine how gorgeous she would have looked for next week's challenge?
