i LOVE how they start the song while Ru is saying "and don't fuck it up", it creates such great buildup, even more so if you know and love the song. Why don't they do that more???
Darrienne obviously slayed the hell outta ben who looked stiff at times, while miss darriene owned the stage. Of course ru made the right decision by keeping them both because ben was doing great in the competition
I agree with you...but not on their second match. Darienne didnt deserve to eliminate Ben on that song. She did amazing here and the comedy was spot on. But sorry honey not on that second time. She literally did nothing more than walk and move her arms up and down. It was a disgrace that Ru took that awful decision. But here, by adding comedy moves to the song, it was great.
As soon as the stripping began, it was a dead give away that she was panicking. "Ruined" a perfectly good outfit and a good routine too. Just not as entertaining as Darienne's unfortunately.
yeah SUCH a bummer we didn't see her lipsync and do Snatchgame that said girl is KILLING it at Fame Games, right now it looks like most ppl are voting for her!!
I just don’t get why DeLa basically gave Darienne the stage for that break section to do a reveal that added nothing. Darienne just said “let me pick the cabbage, I pissed all over this song…big bills? Why thank you” right in the judges faces
No. Ben was slaying the competition until this episode. Trinity never stand out and never won a challenge. Ben earned her Shantay you stay by how well she has done in the competition.
It's saying something when someone as incredible as Dela falls into the background with this performance. Darienne was just so good. Those dance moves!
+Jake Kordei I honestly think she was amazing on the show and a bit underrated and remember if she was a bed person, bianca del rio wouldn't be friends with her. I believe darriene was edited to look like the bad guy for the sake of the show which is fine I guess but people need to understand that the Darriene on the show wasn't the real one.
+Mohamed Ali I do think Darrienne is a good queen don't get me wrong and I don't think she's a bad person, I just think she would have been better places around 7/8th. Even the other queens on the show seemed shocked she got that far- and Ben was liked a lot more by the cast (it seemed that way atleast) and definitely by the viewers.
Jake Kordei thats when strategy kicks in .. ru and the producers wanted adore in the final 3 but if ben made it to top 4 .. she would replace adore otherwise the show would seem way too fake ... but eliminating darriene at top 4 made sense because she lip synced 3 times.
+Jake Kordei I actually think Darienne was quite awesome.Shen had some amazing looks and I loved her sense of humor.And I agreed with her...BenDela was kinda annoying.I don't know why people like her so much.
+I'm From Pluto I don't know, she was okay but she literally did nothing for me- and I have to say, I am a Ben fan, so maybe I'm still a bit bitter at Darriene for her sending Ben home 😂
I love Laganja in the background looking at Adore reacting to what happened at 2:21 and then when Dela didn't get sent home 2:51 she was like "hell yeah" I love her so much, she's so animated!
BenDela in such an amazing person. About Darienne... Gia Gunn once said: "And that Darienne... OMG. Well... i guess there's room for everyone. Let's just said that". She was right.
Everyone we could see (except Darienne obvs) looked so happy DeLa got to stay and I'm p sure Darienne just clapped so she wouldn't get called out for not doing so. XD
Who could blame Darienne for being salty... She just won a lip-sync against her main rival fairly and squarely and they got to stay? You'd be slightly irked too.
I remember watching this episode and nearly crying because as soon as their lipsync was over I knew DeLa was going home, but I was SO HAPPY SHE STAYED HOLY SHIT.
Why are people saying Ben won BOTH lip syncs they had against eachother? Darienne clearly won both, she was so funny in this one and in the whole season...
That and Ru basically outright said "Dela, you lost this lip sync, but we need an episode quota and you've been doing well, so here's a pass. Don't mess it up again.", then when she's in the bottom with Darienne again, they probably were like "Well, you're in the bottom with the same person who already destroyed you in a lip sync. You're going home regardless of how well you do."
I would've liked Darriene Lake if he wasn't so shady. I mean, there's competition shady, and then there's Darienne who was just... mean. He had to talk mud about everybody behind their backs and was so mean to DeLa when DeLa had done nothing wrong! Just a bit too much jealous and didn't really have that much talent apart from being able to lip sync pretty well. But hey, Bianca is the queen so everything worked out in the end.
To be honest, I love Dela, but Darienne won this lip sync. It even felt like Ru let Dela stay, because she felt she had more to offer and felt like she would be a fan favorite (like Trixie). I mean, she did not look as excited about letting her stay as she normally does. However, I am super grateful, because it gave me more Dela during season 6!!
Before I get hate I'd like to say I really do love Dela and I'm glad she stayed... But Dela was so desperate in this lip sync, it's sad to watch. But Darienne definitely stayed
Sam Webster I mean I personally don't mind the desperation, it shows how much they want to stay...even if it's not the most elegant way to do it. Darienne was more outwardly competitive so her wanting to stay transformed into the fierce lip syncs, while Dela wanted it but was less dominant so it came off more desperate. If rather have a queen try and come off desperate rather than not try at all (Charlie Hides...)
Everyone trying to defend Ben's awful performance is fucking delusional. So what if Ben is a better queen overall? What part of 'this is your LAST chance to impress me'? DeLa failed this lip sync while Darienne went from strength to strength. This is like Raven and Tyra 2.0. A queen who clearly lost being defended by insane fans, when they were fairly beaten by another queen.
DirigblePlum94 TKB and Adore should have been the double Shantay not Bendela because there was an obvious winner here while TKB and Adore was on a different level of amazing
FINALLY!! I despised Darienne during the show and barely remember her, but she's probably the best big girl at lipsyncs the show ever had, and Top 3-5 best lipsyncers ever on RDR. I like Ben but this was a massacre, their second lipsync wasn't as destructive but Darienne still won clearly, sad that such a great queen is so bad at performing songs like that.
0:55 did Dela didnt see that Darienne was standing there bc she looks PISSED as if Darienne was purposely blocking her 😭 mamas you had the whole stage to move
Shut up man, Dela dance, strip, lip sync perfect, face, nice look and make up. Dariene wig is almost falling and she bad moves in the stage. Sorry not sorry.
Thiago Del Sole Pellicciotti Did we watch the same lip sync? Dela flailed her arms around for half a minute while Darienne stepped her pussy up and took everyone's faves to the slaughter house. It's common knowledge among Drag Race fans that Dela flopped in her lip syncs.
I love Dela. I wish she won this but not everybody can be good at everything. Dela is so great in most of the sector/challenges in RPDR but her weakness is lip syncing which would be so hard when you're put in the bottom. I hope she comes back in All stars ( 11+) to claim her rightful crown. UPDATE: I watched her performances from 10 yrs ago (from bars and stuff) on yt. I'm actually impressed by her performances and lip syncing. What the hell happened in rpdr? Did the nerves got her?
