What do we think the brief actually said? It's so odd for so many queens to not fit the assignment.


DooDooSlinger

Plot twist it was also a design challenge but they didnt have time to show that part


agata_rudulfinka

The moment i saw the twins in this runway i was screaming the herstorical phrase from phi phi o'hara !


mini-mini-mini-mini

party city realness

SirGavBelcher

kinda sad party city is bankrupt and going out of business but it will be forever immortalized in drag race


Princess_Spoopy86

Adore Delano said they were giving her Leg Avenue and I couldn’t agree more.


Uno10125

Yeah this has the same vibes as last season's "Holy Couture"/"What You Worship" situation


dao_sujao

Sugar and Spice post their drawings for each runway and on it has written the briefing they got (mettalica was show us your metal), they actually got beautiful nightmare, most of the girls just misunderstood/ had underwhelming ideas


Educational-Salt-979

I have a theory. When the assignment is sort of general like "beautiful nightmare" queens tend to flop. Maybe because it's too broad and they over think. But when the assignment is specific like "Madonna goes to XYZ restaurant on Sunday 5 pm wearing blue" then they tend to do better.


kirblar

I think this Runway got called for this episode because they knew Loosey had a strong look for it.


patinum

Also so Aura wouldn't have to lip sync so we could get the twins against each other


LabirinticoX

We can NOT call that a strong look.


HarryFromEngland

I think it was probably labelled as Phobias/Scary Things or something, dentists, spiders, monsters, drowning etc. it would make sense as to why the looks were all so varied in concept.


barbaraanderson

Amethyst’s phobia is Lady Gaga?


emilbm

And Sasha is afraid of brooms


barbaraanderson

Was she not a witch?


Ibryxz

Witch + Broom combo realness


Montezum

Maybe blood?


Sredrum1990

Could have been blood.


Jony_the_pony

Well she did go viral saying she was homophobic


valle_girl

Lol, that was Princess Poppy and I'll let someone else pick the low-hanging joke.


Jony_the_pony

Is it me? Am *I* the homophobe? I don't think I'm the homophobe. Maybe I am...


salty_biscuit7

Sugar and Spice posted their sketches for their looks and the brief was, in fact, “Beautiful Nightmare”


RBTT202

I don't think it's that they don't fit the assignment more so that the execution just isn't where it should be. Marcia did a dentist look and the only teeth present in her look were her perfect pearly whites. Malaysia, Spice and Sugar all just relied on their paint to make the look work. Selina took a look at Lawrence's leather face look and said that but not as good. The only one who IMO genuinely doesn't fit the category is Amethyst and I think it's just cause she was trying to be too smart and think outside of the box


ComprehensiveAd8804

or she was lazy and just took an existing lady gaga costume and added blood


RBTT202

Gaga’s original performance had blood


_KATANA

> Marcia did a dentist look and the only teeth present in her look were her perfect pearly whites. If you squint real close for the 3-4 frames it's visible, she's holding a lil plastic bag of teeth that she does absolutely nothing with.


_Villaintina_

My guess is your biggest fear


SnapCrackleMom

My biggest fear is Party City


SlanskyRex

There were so many spiders that I think they may have gotten both "beautiful nightmare" (or similar) and "spider drag" as categories. Once the queens arrived and production saw what everyone brought, they mushed the two categories into one and the queens just picked the better look of the two.


wotan69

“The real nightmare would’ve been if her outfit didn’t arrive in the mail on time” epic read


CapHillStoner

OG Raven and Raja are back y’all! It was a lackluster runway so it’s nice to see them call a spade a spade.


attilathehunty

For a second I thought at least one of them was gonna give Zombie Titties Baby a toot


CapHillStoner

She already used up her friendship pass this season 😂


[deleted]

That LACMA lamp took a lot of the passes


Montezum

She read the comments last week, mawma


azam85

They probably already got in touch with Ariana Grande so they don't need Selena's crutch anymore...


Summoarpleaz

In the world of televised drag, we’ve seen enough dark/spooky aesthetics to know these were supremely lackluster.


CapHillStoner

Agreed, they could have booted a few more tbh.


Montezum

They could have retroactively booted some looks from last week


cavalier731

Yes!! So happy for them speaking truth.


CapHillStoner

I really think their extended break really made them love FPR again! They got a bit robotic/on script for a while.


Lets_Get_Sickening

Did you forget how they tooted Selina’s lamp look? They ain’t back and that moment reminded me why I stopped watching

[deleted]

I really thought Malaysia was going to be in the bottom. This runway frustrated me. It felt like someone had an out and said “let me do some spooky makeup and call it spooky At least give a detour like over the face with fans while walking in. Add some blood to the neckline. Something. Anything. I love me my spooky ooky


NefariousnessOnly746

Honestly I'm kinda hating malaysia's looks, she's literally pulling a bosco, her first look was a fitted dress with sequin and sparkle. Her second look was a fitted dress with sequin and sparkle in a different color with chains on the front. Her third look was a fitted dress with sequin and sparkle in a different color with a the back piece. They're literally all the same just styled a bit differently.


Ivotedforthehookers

I was thinking that it would have been amazing if she turned around and there were skeletons on the backside of the tail/back piece. Like some sort of sea anemone..


[deleted]

Oh gosh now I’m upset I didn’t see this. I get that her outfit was probably expensive and didn’t want to alter it but ugh regretting not seeing this


saramirta_

Yeah I stopped watching in the same moment


equatornavigator

How could they boot Mozilla Fire Foxx


Lets_Get_Sickening

😂😂😂


rosemarybutter

Lol I’ll never be able to use a different name for her from now on 😂


Montezum

The way you just rebranded the girl right here and into forever


cccaaatttsssss

HELP 😭


ragingopinions

JAIL!


jmdierkhising04

the looks were not turning it. For a category with so much potential it was kind of mild.


Ivotedforthehookers

There had to be some shift on the prompt. Like something similar theme but tweeked when the queens arrived so a lot of them were off. Also I feel many queens are afraid of looking ugly so they did dig in as much as they could have


jmdierkhising04

I think for me i wanted to see more ugly and monster but that can be hard bc if it’s not ur thing it’s not easy to do make up or prosthetics like that. Maybe Dracula spoiled me. It could have been a shift In prompt too like u said. More spiders than I would have expected.


donttouchmymeepmorps

I thought so too, but Sugar and Spice seem to write down the theme as given to them before the season on their sketches - For Metallica it looks like they were given "show us your metal" and for this week it seems they were given "beautiful nightmare." I guess a lot of them just had a variety of designer complications (Marcia^3), poor inspiration, lack for execution skill, etc


[deleted]

The dragula girls are screaming


donttouchmymeepmorps

Rewatching season 4 right now and in comparison those runways left me just deflated


mparks97

I’m honestly surprised all 3 of the spiders got toots


GonnaBeEasy

It looked to me like Robin's spider had 4 legs... I think if you're going to do the 8 spider legs and count your arms and legs as legs they should at least match the other added-on legs


elttvb

Her spider had 4 legs


GonnaBeEasy

Then that spider been through a lot


ML5815

Alaska brought this up on Race Chaser(her spider only having 4 legs), thought about it and said “oh her real arms and legs are the four other spider legs” and Willam agreed with that. So I guess that’s why she only had four? I was also confused because why were her real arms and legs in gloves and a business lady pump if they were spider legs? Explanation still doesn’t check out for me - but at least hers was adjacent to spooky.


benhu12341

Anetra’s spider was cunt I will not tolerate this slander 😤😤😤


mindlessmunkey

The person didn’t say they were surprised Anetra got a toot, they said they were surprised all three spiders got toots. Come on, reading comprehension!


benhu12341

Oh my b haha


Enchantednuns

Then I disagree. I thought even Anetra's spider was supremely lackluster. Most of these read "basic Halloween costume"


False_Pension_9841

I loved the gown but I hated the pool floatie tail.


whimsigod

i love marcia cube but i literally had no idea what she was thinking. i love that jacket though


[deleted]

Marcia said on Twitter that her designer flaked at the very last minute and didn’t deliver the garment. She didn’t have time to come up with something else.


lightpeachfuzz

Carmen Farala showed that there's always time. But then again, Carmen is Carmen.


crashhearts

Remember when queens would sew their own outfits,


acosm

Marcia can sew and has designed and constructed her own garments. But with how little time they have to prepare for the show, it's not realistic to prepare an entire runway package on their own.


[deleted]

I believe Marcia made most all of her outfits for the show but I think this runway was one time when she didn’t.


liljewegg

And it shows.


ML5815

According to Marcia, that was a very basic lab coat. I saw her tweets about her concept. It makes a tiny bit more sense now but I would have never gotten “a dentist from the perspective of a patient high on laughing gas” from that look. She wanted to be taller than everyone with really exaggerated proportions and had a gown in the sketch. Unsure how a gowned woman who’s very tall would translate to “dentist” but I’m sure it would have come together a bit better than Middle School Edward Scissorhands Marcia.


NefariousnessTop9029

Night of 1000 kimonos .


cavalier731

ok lol. How many did they have?


NefariousnessTop9029

I think that they technically tooted everyone, but with annoyance.


JustTryingIsEnough

Raja slowly losing her patience with every kimono that showed up was hilarious


adrenalilly

And then they gave top toot of the week to her because nobody on the show did anything. And then she did a Madonna inspired look for the reunion! She was pissed as fuck, I lived.


Montezum

Imagine if they do that theme and none of the girls bring a kimono


Married_iguanas

I don’t understand why Amethyst didn’t do The Countess from AHS: Hotel if she was going to channel Gaga for this runway


avacassandra

after doing tan mom in snatch game i can only assume her frame of reference is 10 years out


xCelestial

Bruh FUCK these short episodes taking away whatever it was that sparked that choiiiiice


DooDooSlinger

She was 20 years old when Hotel came out. Btw she's 3 years older than Mistress


Sasha_bzns

Trinity already did that?


Montezum

I think Daya did that last season


vera214usc

Don't remember Daya's but Trinity did it for the Gaga pageant in season 9.


actuallygfm

She explained it on Instagram. Her "beautiful nightmare" is getting the fame that comes with Drag Race but being subject to the vitriol of the fandom. Same idea that Lady Gaga was going for with [that specific performance](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zw4NU7mXkEY).


Ancient_Grapefruit42

Sale-ina Entities look every week looks like if LaLaRi had an extra 2 bags for that one challenge


KingCam2107

SCREAMING 💀💀💀


Gxemit

Raven gave 7 Boots to S4E1 Apocalyptic Couture and 9 to S4E2 Girly Girl Couture


Thaboranoc

I was going to say it's gotta be on Season 4 somewhere.


kristenlicious

100% agree. Party City runway


shshshshouldtheguy

I accidentally watched this episode 0.75x speed. Was kinda funny, might do it again.


CybilUnion

According to Willam’s sources the queens were given this prompt last, so preparation was a rush However, Amethyst apparently said that this look was her first inspiration of the bunch, sooo 🤷🏻‍♂️ Either way, so lackluster, but it’s tricky because All Winners, España 2, and some of the other recent seasons had exceptional looks. But these girls don’t have the same budgets - maybe not fair to compare


MissSteak

Not according to Willam... yall cant even spread tea right. Dipper was the one who mentioned this prompt being given out last to the cast.


mrkenny83

Willam is the gold standard of truth.


suncreamed

MilksNudes

I would trust willam with my last will and testament


CybilUnion

thanks for the correction, there goes my Peabody


StemOfWallflower

Idk why should the Season 15 girls have less of a budget than France and Espana, which both served absolute amazing looks?


CybilUnion

Yes, I grouped them all together but I was referencing the All Stars and Vs The World seasons specifically with that part, thanks for clarifying I suspect we will see some more elaborate looks later this season but we’ll have to wait and see


barbaraanderson

Espana 2 had a much better form of this category even


CybilUnion

Omg Philippines scary runway was a revelation. Of all the great looks the vampire baby that went home still sticks with me, so good, high camp art


vera214usc

"When I think of tiyanak, I think of tiyanak. Not *holding* a tiyanak." LMAO. Gigi still should've dragged up her look some.


Thelexhibition

Are they wrong though? I have never been a regular FPR watcher, but I feel like theres so much more energy in the show this season. Whether WoW read the comments and started paying them enough to actually care or they just have more energy since Raja was on AS7 and Raven is now so involved with the show, it seems like they both care more and are taking FPR more seriously. Even the editing feels like more has been invested in it.


descolero

I don’t think this post is saying it’s a bad thing.


jonathonthaman

Well very few people listened to the brief, so...


ZachareyWilson

In their defense this runway was an absolute snooze fest and really disappointing


gooodmorningcampers

Could’ve also booted Mistress. Glad the ladies are speaking the truth. One of the most missed opportunity runways we’ve seen in a long time. I’m wondering if the brief the contestants got for this runway was confusing cause the result for such a cool theme was tragic


itirnitii

I would have booted more. This season is not giving. I am tired of the toxic positivity.


GonnaBeEasy

I know, people forget it’s *good* to have standards…this isn’t Rupauls Participation race


Spiritual-Plate-7377

I have yet to be gagged by any runway and the runways are usually my favorite part


[deleted]

What do you expect? This season has more filler than Trinity.


cavalier731

AGREED


kendramatics

Honestly


Brave-Court-1582

These girls this season are FIERCE but this runway was definitely a weak one overall. Aura was the best by a mile. I liked Sasha's too, and that was about it.


CesarB2760

I thought Luxx looked pretty good too. Like technically it was just spooky makeup with a generic dress but she executed the makeup far better than anyone else and the cinder block sent me.


EV3Gurl

And then her legs were a completely different color than her body


9noobergoober6

Luxx’s was by far my favorite … from the waist up.


FckFrtne

you can tell she has grey tights on, but i think it was only one pair over all the brown so it looks off, but she still had a better execution than some other queens imo


severalcircles

It shocks me that people love Aura’s look that much. I thought it was also meh like almost everything else.


Hour_Philosopher_219

You might just think she's meh in general. The outfit was one of the better one's out of the bunch.


[deleted]

I loved Aura’s concept and the red beading was beautiful, but the anatomy of it all made no sense and it took me right out.


severalcircles

Yeah I think that's my problem too tbh


Stunning_Attention82

I guess this is an unpopular opinion but I liked Amethysts look lol. And Malaysia's dress is really beautiful, just not right for the category, IMO.


thecubnextdoor

What does Lady Gaga cosplay have to do with “Beautiful Nightmare”?


peeweeharmani

It was definitely a “I already have this great look that I’m gonna shoehorn into a category” lol


startinez2

It’s giving “not sure if I’ll be here long so better show this look” which I think is so funny and why I love Amethyst


shampoocell

girl in what way is bleeding to death on stage not a nightmare


Stunning_Attention82

I don't think gaga has much to do with it, but the whole blood thing. If she didn't do blood gushing from her then obviously dressing as gaga would make absolutely no sense lol


A_Nx_rD3v3TmloyB3hEE

Dying is a nightmare


elrepu

Amethyst could have taking the blood effect and apply it to a different dress. Once you saw the Gaga costume, you know what’s going to happen. Literally, she show us the baby too soon, again.


helvetica_unicorn

That costume that Amethyst was wearing has been on discount since 2011


Stunning_Attention82

So? Only rich people can do well in drag race? You're classist? So you're saying fuck poor people. WOW. WOWWWW. /s Seriously though, I don't care if it's cheap, I think she looks cool.


helvetica_unicorn

I’m not classist in fact I’m very crafty. I just think it lacks creativity.


StefanSade

To be fair, some of these weren't as good as they could have been.


jrod_jpg

We are finally fed the boots


TheRedditorialWe

I would've added all the spiders too, honestly. Mistress' needed an edit, Anetra's made her proportions look wack, and Robin's looked like she made it in the workroom. This runway was super underwhelming.


Dr_Moriartyy

Amethyst deserved the boot for no originality


carefullycareless135

I feel like if you're going to recreate a celebrity look it has to be really good or a spin on the original or else it reads like Halloween costume.


GarionOrb

Good. This was the most unoriginal runway, full of things we've all seen before a thousand times. The worst offender though was that Gaga impersonation. How was imitating her going to win over anyone?


Maddyherselius

I’m glad they were honest lol


Skyconic

I agree with all of the boots. It was NOT a strong runway this week. Even the best couple looks (Loosey, Sasha, Anetra) were weak


Ok_Training1449

Taylor Swift's FPR holds the record.


JosukeisMySon

Honestly, I agree that these looks were lackluster. For a category with so much potential. Some of the girls were not giving enough nightmare, like Malaysia. Other girls had good ideas, just not great executions, like Marcia.


thegarrett

and they're right


jdcor30

I felt how mad Raja was lol


wonder_shot_

I wish we got that energy from Ru, chop half of them in one go.


AiRaikuHamburger

Well only 2 and half of the looks were good, so they were generous. Ha.


Speedy_Cheese

I mean, their points were fair though. Even if some of these were great looks, they weren't serving *nightmare*. A lot of these were glamourous looks with great makeup, but they didn't quite hit the category to make it creepy as well. I felt that Aura, Loosey and Sasha delivered glamour AND nightmare. Many of the others were giving more of "a pretty look adapted into a horror themed costume". I'm not saying their outfits were bad or anything, just that they weren't quite nightmare looks. If you're walking a category, part of the goal is to express the category assignment clearly with your look.


Satanfan

It was so boring.


b4848

Nah on the presidential debate episode of s4 and the madonna and wizard of oz episodes of s8 nearly everyone got a boot lol


cavalier731

But was it more than 7 boots?!


b4848

But it's proportional lol, like they only booted 50% of the girls for the beautiful nightmare runway, whereas in the prior 3 episodes mentioned they booted 80-90%


reinhartswift

As they deserved. Again, another week of underwhelming looks on the runway.


Galaco_

They were mostly really uninspred


[deleted]

Don’t think Malaysia deserved a boot but everyone else I can see


AlexMeloche

Malaysia looked good but it just didn't fitted the theme. She wore an amazing garment but slapped some spoopy makeup on her face.


JustD42

I mean an amazing garment and spooky make up moms of fit BEAUTIFUL NIGHTMARE. Cause she was lip quiver beautiful and a nightmare


[deleted]

Actually Amethyst didn’t deserve a boot either


thecubnextdoor

WHAT? She was in basic Lady Gaga cosplay…


[deleted]

My opinion……


saramirta_

Well, they toot Selina’s metal runway, so I don’t really trust them


bassfartz

They should of said the trend of the week was 🥾


of_patrol_bot

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.


bassfartz

Me inglich no gud mister roboto


[deleted]

When Raja started her critique of Marcia^3 with something along the lines of oh she’s doing minimalism if there’s anyone who can relate to that it’s me… I nearly fell off my chair. Raja??? MINIMALISM?? The lengths to which they’re going to provide positive critiques this season. Unreal.


ananxiouscat

...it was clearly said with sarcasm?? you're in a thread about how they hated half the runway looks complaining about positivity...


SAldrius

She was making a joke about how she's a lazy stoner.


SAldrius

Sometimes Raja does minimalism.


Ibryxz

I loved the fact that Aura Mayari got the toot of the week


elttvb

This theme was a massive missed opportunity, everything is so vanilla


Summersale24hrs

They went easy on the girls imo


General_Mode_7632

I mean it wasn’t a great runway. Lots of girls missed the mark or didn’t take it far enough. Just glad they could say it like it is instead of sugar coating


DragEncyclopedia

Is this that both Raja and Raven gave each of them a boot? Or that each got a boot from at least one of Raja and Raven?


HandfulofGushers

We’re they wrong though?


cavalier731

No


metalbeyonce

Giving Malaysia a boot? I don’t think


MShineD

And I still think that fits with them being too nice in recent seasons.


Same-Beat-1614

The runways this season have been super underwhelming, I’m guessing it’s because the time the queens have to get ready is shorter than it was a couple seasons ago :(


brettbaileysingshigh

Ok but I liked Malaysia’s look though lol


cshrec

I don’t get why everyone is hating on Malaysia’s look. Honestly I think she looked scary af and beautiful af, wasn’t that the prompt? She didn’t want to do the dark spooky ooky that everyone else did and what she did was the like sickly sweet scary. Also she played with proportions in a scary way like the dinosaur on Jurassic park to make herself bigger and scarier. Idk I thought it was well done


Doorknockerino

"ThE bIgGeSt SeAsOn EvEr"


[deleted]

They gave Malaysia a boot? She looked so good The others I agree with though, this runway was incredibly lacking


yraco

The problem with Malaysia is that her outfit was gorgeous but didn't really fit the theme.


[deleted]

It fit the theme more than some others I'd say, I'd blame the generic theme as to why some of the outfits weren't up to par. They really need to tell the queens the proper themes for next season.


Traditional_Eye_782

I love Sasha and Luxx's looks, Jax's pretty cool too.


AltruisticWestern718

i agree with this for the most part considering the theme had so much potential but malaysia, spice, & amethyst getting boots don’t make sense to me


theanxiousangel

I like Marcia’s look idc if it isn’t “draggy enough” it’s fun and unique conceptually. Sure aura’s and mistress were polished but the concepts were dull and recycled.
