Welcome to the main stage of Taylor's Drag Race!

Thank you everyone for participating in another gruelling challenge this week. I'd like to say that your Night of a Thousand Kylie Minogue looks will play a major factor in judging this week. I felt that the Snatch Game performances were very neck-and-neck, so that's going to help break the tie.

With that said, will the following contestants please come forward:

Dr Mod
Kay Bi
Rochelle Royale
Q

Ladies, you are all SAFE and you may leave the runway. Please enjoy a can of Pepsi Max in the New Gold Coast Lounge as the judges and I critique the rest of the contestants.

Damn.

Let's begin the critiques.

First up is Amipa King! https://imgur.com/gallery/K9YAW2U

This was a bit of a rough week for you. I felt that your character was a bit too obscure and non-distinct enough for me to get a sense of what you were doing, and your answers were disjointed and were hard to follow along. On the runway, I think this look isn't necessarily bad but it doesn't read as the iconic Spinning Around micro shorts. I think you could've either worn tiny shorts, or if you wanted to continue in a grand direction this could've been reworked as an Aphrodite: Les Folies Tour concept.

Next is Jazmyn! https://imgur.com/y1MVnPy

This was a good week for you. I think you definitely nailed the Kylie look. While it wasn't the most obvious choice, you replicated so many details from the original look so well, and I'm impressed with your makeup skills - you look really gorgeous! As for your Snatch Game, I think you had one of the more fleshed-out characters this week and I felt that I could get a sense of who you were. You got a few chuckles out of me (which is far more than what anyone else got, unfortunately) and when you made jokes they worked. Good job!

Up next is Kit N' Kabooble! https://imgur.com/75qPbVS

I'll state the obvious - Fancy Feast is certainly NOT a celebrity. However, you were hilarious in your answers this week! Your jokes landed and I felt that you were one of the few people this week who really understood how to play Snatch Game. The downside is that you basically played yourself and didn't muster up to the challenge of an impersonation, and your runway look was very, very rough. Please try and recapture what made you so impressive last week!

Next we have Miss Take! https://imgur.com/a/iM5EFHR

I applaud you for taking a risk and trying a character that was outside of the box, but I don't think what you did this week was very successful. Your answers got a bit one note, but what really damaged your performance were the reaction GIFs. It made me feel like I was reading a BuzzFeed article written by a Boomer, and it took me out of the humour. Sometimes less is more, and I think if you had restrained yourself in your answers this could've worked out better. As for your Kylie look, I think this is a really fresh and interesting take! I was expecting someone to do Can't Get You Out My Head and I like that you surprised me by putting your own spin on it. I really like what you wore on the runway and I think it makes up for your Mother Mary!

Up next is Vanessa Hijinks! https://i.imgur.com/a4yAdRS.png

I just need to say, I am so glad you changed your character at the last minute! Your Alexis Neiers was much more successful than your original Amanda Bynes. While I think your jokes got a little bit one-note towards the end, I could tell you had fun with your character and your answers were definitely on the funnier end of the spectrum. However, we need to talk about this runway – this is amazing! It's such a niche Kylie look, and technically it isn't really Kylie, but I still think it's a clever interpretation of the theme and regardless of who is making your looks there's always a unique Vanessa Hijinks touch which I always look forward to.

Finally, we have Nora L. Blender.

*beep boop beep boop*

Thank you everyone! Please head backstage with the other girls while I deliberate.

Kit N' Kabooble, you're safe.

Jazmyn...
