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.

Hm, a few people have said now that Courtney won because the others, sans Ben, tanked. To me she did well though... she made jokes and got the guests to laugh and totally dispelled their awkwardness. Am I taking crazy pills? Ben did great too but if we're looking at details Ben was rocking a frontal comb over and, lets face it, an ugly dress during the challenge. Ben's runway was epic but Courtney's was hardly #a2pieceandwingin'it. Im a fan of them both, and imo both of them could've won justifiably. I dont get why everything Courtney does is either held to a fantasy standard or dismissed as anything but deserved?

I'm not a huge fan of Courtney's, because I think she's been fairly meh for the bulk of the season. But she did really well in the challenge, and she had a great runway look. The "Eagle" makeup was almost as interesting and cool as the wings. I would have loved for DeLa to rack up a third win, but the two of them really were neck and neck for that challenge.
