BOB - “och aye the noo” - literal meaning, “oh yeah, right now!” In Scotland we actually say “och aye” loads and “the noo” loads, but rarely together! 😂
Spot on comment, but also think it's worth mentioning that 'Och aye the noo' is what people say when they're about to try a Scottish Accent, but have no idea what they're doing, because nobody really says it. The only time Scottish people say it is to make fun of other people saying it! It's the groundskeeper willie of Scottish sayings.
I think I'm the only one who's not mad about it. I love all the s13 queens and want to see as much of them as possible. But it does feel super awkward hahaha
I thought that this and Bob and Shuga arguing over whether or not Tayce's outfit looked great were the funniest moments in another really funny review show
I shared the Bob / Naomi pursefirstimpressions with my sync watch crew. Since then, we've paid attention. Tayce CANNOT get a positive critique from Ru XXX
@@korie4198 Tayce acts the house down during every one of her lip syncs. She's a natural performer; it all starts with her eyes. It's the only time Ru has to pay attention to her and she can't send her home because she's always streets ahead of her challenger. Xxx
Shuga Cain's voice is one of the most soothing, motherly, sounding voices. I feel like she's about to ask me if I've eaten, and then proceed to fix me a plate of food.
All she would have to do is just use a deep gasoline condition and then just add a little heat at a high increment, to the point where there is some combustion, then just say a prayer. I've done that to wigs and one boyfriend. Fixes any issues.
confirmed by genuine british person: the reason why 'you're not my mother' was such a gag is because Kat Slater and the other girl are SISTERS! Kat had her when she was a teenager and the child was raised as her younger sibling!!!! The gaggery
Yeah, I’ve not often enjoyed the American acting challenges, Bob’s being an obvious exception, but I think knowing most of the references helps you more appreciate them.
The U.K.ness of this episode would b hard for Americans to grasp the iconic moments from EastEnders ranged from famous soap moments from the 1990s to now, it's been going on for like 40 years now so so many iconic moments shown by the girls here so I guessed a lot of it would be missed by the US fans. and then a panto dame runway quintessential English camp. For a LONG time in British theatres history it was the ONLY widely accepted form of campiness. Even being being gay was illegal panto dames were accepted and were often the star of the show. It used to be played more by queer actors but now straight men play them too, it's like a camp, clown in Christmas fairytales and they are physically funny and do a lot of slapstick comedy for the kids sitting there but often panto dames say very adult naughty double entrendes and sexual innuendos which the adults often understand but the children don't. Bimini's look is inspired by Grayson Perry a famous modern British artist who is a proud crossdresser that is what he refers to himself as, as he is married to a woman is straight, but loves to dress up as his fantasy doll for his art appearances, he is such a cool artist. Och aye the noo means oh yeas just now , it's used as a way to mock the Scottish accent it doesn't have a meaning as such that would make it useful in everyday sentences it's similar equivalent when people say 'crumpets and tea' to mock the British or how rupaul says escandalo it's just a word or sentence that imitates a culture. Xx
It was the first time me partner and I were actually proper laughing during a Drag Race sketch. We've liked almost all of them, but we were just chuffed to bits with this one. DING DONG COMEDY GOLD.
For anyone interested "Och aye the noo", translates as "Oh yes, just now". This phrase is often used in parody by non-Scots and although the phrases "Och aye" and "the noo" are in common use by Scots separately, they are rarely used together.
Makes me laugh that Americans finally understand how the rest of the world feels when we don't have a clue who the guest judges are or what the references mean haha!!
I'm American and don't know half the guests on US DR! Let me tell you how happy I was to see Dawn French a couple of weeks ago. I literally shouted "hey I know her!!" - and totally got the Vicar of Dibley reference, too. Thank you, PBS of the mid to late 90's!
As soon as I saw Michelle directing, I was worried. Tayce was absolutely BRILLIANT in Beastenders. Her and Bimini were hilarious. For Michelle to critique Tayce because she wasn't 'being a Karen' meant that she completely misunderstood just why Tayce's performance was so good. It was perfectly Sharon Mitchell xxx
@@kajahood7135 right! They said that for the comedy challenge too! All this “Wow, you did much better than I thought you would! But it still wasn’t that good.” So you thought I’d be absolutely sh*t then? Both this time and the comedy time I thought she was funny and this acting challenge she did the character perfectly. So annoying haha
I'm from London. The eastenders challenge was ICONIC! It's a huge part of our culture :) Panto is also a huge deal in the UK and we grow up with it. Bob explained it pretty well, it's geared towards children and family fun. It's very slapstick and involves the audience a lot. It does also happen all year round when it comes to entertainers at holiday parks. And then there are big shows at Christmas time!
@@mariamotionwork it made perfect sense, it was a parody of the way Bianca would always scream "Rickaaaay" plus Danny Dyer's character on Eastenders is Mick
To clarify just how amazing Bemini's rise from the first week has been, imagine if Kalorie Karbdashian Williams had gone on to win the most challenges and make the finale after sending Vanjie home in the first lipsync on Season 10, becoming the favorite to win over Aquaria. That's essentially what Bemini has accomplished, and that's incredible.

I'm not from the UK but I am a huge fan of your pop culture and I LOVE STEPS TO DEATH! I screamed when I heard the first notes hahaha and I think more than a vogueing attempt, Ellie was trying to do the line dance style routines of the group into the lip sync.
Bimini completely took over Lawrence's claim to the crown IMO. She even surpassed Lawrence in terms of comedy challenge wins .-. Tem Bimini all the way
Totally agreee 💯 I was #teamlawrence all the way in the first few episodes and I still think she is soo funny and talented but then Bimini took over and I had to change my mind!!! Bimini FOR THE CROWN👏👏👏💛
I Love Lawrence but she always flakes on comedy challenges, comedy is supposed to be her thing? And Bimini has been consistently great ever since the break.
I think they are tied when I went back and rated how well they did in each challenge. And I laughed at Lawrence’s final product for the acting challenge more personally.
it's crazy to think that we Brits are so used to Panto's that we don't even think other people from other countries wouldn't know what it is... it's a PANTO!!! OH YES HE IS!!!!
I've never heard of Panto in my life, and I have never seen a single show of it! And I live in Europe, too! It seems so UK specific that not many non-Brits have a clue if you ask them, I think! I mean every country has their own Christmas habits and traditions and they stay within those during the Holidays season. We do not exactly go out and explore what our EU neighbours are doing to have fun during Holidays, are we?
@@lesliealfaro8656 in a nutshell it's then telling a fairy tale (Cinderella is a classic) with a lot of camp comedy and audience participation. Lots of singing along and silly jokes
I’ve never even visited the UK but I’ve always known the panto tradition. I’m actually surprised that anyone who is into theatre and performance isn’t familiar with pantomime! I think we used to have a panto show shown on TV here in Australia called ‘The Old Bull and Bush’ which I loved as a kid in the 70’s and 80’s. Fun memories 😁
Having objects incorporated into wigs for Panto dames is an absolute staple!! I can see why Bob wouldn't like it, but it is incredibly accurate to the category
The Kat Slater and Zoe Slater storyline in Eastender is super Iconic. Basically Zoe wanted to move to Spain with the person (who was her uncle) who raped Kate when she was a teenager. He was Zoe's father. Zoe was btought up in the family as Kat's sister. It frightened Kat when Zoe said she was going to Spain with their uncle. Ending in that iconic scene
Shuga is criminally underutilized/underrated. She gives winner vibes and could have gone all the way in season 11 if they would actually had given her the time of day.
Everyone talking like it's Ellie's fault that Awhora went home. Ellie picked the order but the queens acts is what put them in the top or bottom. I completely saw Awhora on the final 4 instead of Ellie, but blaming Ellie for Awhora's performance or the producer's choices isn't right.
Its cowardly. It's the production and rupaul who makes all the real decisions, but the queens would never openly blame them. So, they are taking out their frustrations on Ellie. It's never a cute look.
@@PabloEmanuel96 no, it took me awhile to figure out who she looks like but I got it. Jan from the pit stop episode for the Rusical. The nose contour and eye shape looks similar to Jan
Finally you guys can understand what it's like for people outside of America, we watch Drag Race US and half the stuff is completely over our heads. I've started re-watching old season with an American and have to say it completely changes things. Luckily she has me to translate the UK one too, sometimes literally.
I honestly thought Beastenders was one of the best acting challenges in drag race herstory 😂 but maybe you don’t get any of the references if you’re not British.
I agree. For me it was definitely among the strongest acting challenges we've seen. Though I'm Irish so would be more familiar with the references than a typical American.
I’m Dutch and I loved it. I’ve never seen Eastenders, but soap operas here are similar and they get parodied here a lot, so I could easily see where they wanted to go with the challenge.
The “thing on the head” is a big pantodame thing though so it fits the category. And Sug, it’s cardboard. Lawrence talked about making it. Love you both 💕
As a Brit, love hearing Bob do the cultural translation. One key thing is that it is about comedy retellings of classic fairy tales. (or iconic stories like Peter Pan) -The key roles are cross dressed, not just the dame, so there is usually a Prince played by a woman too. -The Panto Dame is frequently a unique character not actually in the fairy tale just shoehorned in randomly, or is the protagonist's mother. -The Dame usually has several costume changes into different exagerated dresses. -They often lead the audience participation part of the show
This wig IS legendary, just like Dracula, Bigfoot, or Medusa. But honestly, I do love it, especially with today's look. It's the dark red crimpy parts that do it for me. Thank you for giving us almost a full season of this wig - I love seeing you torment your overly critical viewers
One of the Queens has done blackface, though she has publicly apologised around the BLM movement, buuuuut there is a long history of cultural appropriation and other racist performances.
@@azlxns I wonder if people would’ve been saying the same if Juju won, being that it was her 3rd time, and she was also doing really really well. Then again, she wasn’t getting the credit she deserved for the challenges.
The scottish thing Lawrence Chaney says is “Och aye the noo” which means “oh yes, just now” its often used to mock scottish people by non scottish people
“och aye the noo” is used as like a parody of the way Scots speak. p the words are in the Scots language but the phrase is not used by Scottish people in actual conversation, it’s like a way of poking fun at them or parodying Scottishness
Tayce didn’t do a panto dame. In pantos, there’s almost always a fairy character that acts as a narrator/fairy godmother throughout, so she was emulating that pretty well imo.
I mean sure but her costume reference was a complete miss. Since she copied a Kylie Minogue John Galliano showgirl costume instead of taking inspiration from actual panto.
Shuga looks like that wealthy auntie you have that has no kids and does nothing but go to classy parties and be an icon and has 15 different sugar daddies ✨💖
Am I the only one who paused this vid, searched for “yes I am EastEnders”, watched two hours of clips about the aftermath of Kat’s confession, and came back to finish watching Bob and Shuga?
Bob's wig looks like: if a teenage girl bleached her hair, then thought she was doing something bold with a partially dyed moment, and instead of re-dying it all again to fix it after realizing it was bad, she just left it. And now her natural brunette roots are starting to creep back. When she needs to be "presentable" she'll 80s crimp and bump it a little bit just to double down on the whole "bold" presentation, when in reality she's only replaced her embarrassment of the hair with fashion *burp* delusion.
Really love how Bob does his homework and explains our British culture. We always know everything about Americans but you guys struggle with our references so thank you for highlighting these things for everyone. ❤️
Bob, you are so hilarious! i love everything you bring us and particularly this episode! The jokes, the banter, the episode analysis, the looks, Shuga and her purely stunning everything (including that room! )...this entire episode was giving me so much very needed life!! I even agree with Shuga about the wig! (the total look is everything!...AND I am really ready to see a new wig)

Can confirm, as a Canadian, it hurt to see everyone outside of Canada not get those skits AT ALL! 😂
The absolute TRUTH.
But they did great! I couldn't get all the references and I still laughed hard, to me it really was the best acting challenge in Drag Race.
It's making me giggle a little to see Americans not getting the Eastenders references but it was literally iconic hehe
Thank you! It was Americans being Americans I guess, if they don't get it then it can't be iconic. I'm from Australia and even I saw it.

STEPS was popular in my Asian country. I still know Last Thing on my Mind and 5,6,7,8 by heart
That wig is getting more air time than Shuga Cain did the whole of season 11
Sis this needs more likes 🤣🤣🤣
Team Bimini over here- she's just so unique in every way, the franchise has never seen a queen quite like her. I can never take my eyes off of her.
Bimini completely took over Lawrence's claim to the crown IMO. She even surpassed Lawrence in terms of comedy challenge wins .-. Tem Bimini all the way
Totally agreee 💯 I was #teamlawrence all the way in the first few episodes and I still think she is soo funny and talented but then Bimini took over and I had to change my mind!!! Bimini FOR THE CROWN👏👏👏💛
#teambimini !!!!👏👏👏💛
I Love Lawrence but she always flakes on comedy challenges, comedy is supposed to be her thing? And Bimini has been consistently great ever since the break.
I think they are tied when I went back and rated how well they did in each challenge. And I laughed at Lawrence’s final product for the acting challenge more personally.
Nope, Lawrence is the clear winner
They bleep when Bob mentioned Sherry Pie and when he repeats, it is not. LMAO the editor gave up XD
Ellie looked exactly like SP in that runway
@@RNCHFND oh yeah! i remember that runway from season 12 haha
when?
@@whatsnew7139 from 1:54 to 2:05
@@dokyungsxoxo7465 Thank you. I missed it
At this point I'm willing to make 50k alternate accounts to subscribe to Bob just to get rid of the wig
“I just don’t like when people put things on their head.”
same here, Bob
shuga's out here fully looking like mariah carey, she looks AMAZING
Shuga Cain is the only person who's allowed to say anything nice about the wig.
Because we don't care about her opinion
@@RNCHFND oop
@@RNCHFND haterrr
it's crazy to think that we Brits are so used to Panto's that we don't even think other people from other countries wouldn't know what it is... it's a PANTO!!! OH YES HE IS!!!!
I have absolutely no idea what a Panto is even after the episode.
I've never heard of Panto in my life, and I have never seen a single show of it! And I live in Europe, too! It seems so UK specific that not many non-Brits have a clue if you ask them, I think! I mean every country has their own Christmas habits and traditions and they stay within those during the Holidays season. We do not exactly go out and explore what our EU neighbours are doing to have fun during Holidays, are we?
Me before googling pants: TAYCE IS PANTO HOUSE BOOTS WTF
me after googling: well I just love tayce and see here it says Peter Pan so.....
@@lesliealfaro8656 in a nutshell it's then telling a fairy tale (Cinderella is a classic) with a lot of camp comedy and audience participation.
Lots of singing along and silly jokes
I’ve never even visited the UK but I’ve always known the panto tradition. I’m actually surprised that anyone who is into theatre and performance isn’t familiar with pantomime! I think we used to have a panto show shown on TV here in Australia called ‘The Old Bull and Bush’ which I loved as a kid in the 70’s and 80’s. Fun memories 😁
Having objects incorporated into wigs for Panto dames is an absolute staple!! I can see why Bob wouldn't like it, but it is incredibly accurate to the category
The Kat Slater and Zoe Slater storyline in Eastender is super Iconic. Basically Zoe wanted to move to Spain with the person (who was her uncle) who raped Kate when she was a teenager. He was Zoe's father. Zoe was btought up in the family as Kat's sister. It frightened Kat when Zoe said she was going to Spain with their uncle. Ending in that iconic scene
how is Shuga Cain literally the most lovable person in this world?
Shuga is criminally underutilized/underrated. She gives winner vibes and could have gone all the way in season 11 if they would actually had given her the time of day.
Everyone talking like it's Ellie's fault that Awhora went home. Ellie picked the order but the queens acts is what put them in the top or bottom. I completely saw Awhora on the final 4 instead of Ellie, but blaming Ellie for Awhora's performance or the producer's choices isn't right.
Its cowardly. It's the production and rupaul who makes all the real decisions, but the queens would never openly blame them. So, they are taking out their frustrations on Ellie. It's never a cute look.

Shuga looks like Plastique here for me
@@PabloEmanuel96 Dude I thought exactly the same... I'll have what she is having to look as young as she does 🙌
@@PabloEmanuel96 no, it took me awhile to figure out who she looks like but I got it. Jan from the pit stop episode for the Rusical. The nose contour and eye shape looks similar to Jan
@@Kelsievhanrahan YES
The worst moment of this episode was when Bob spun in her chair and we saw the wig from all sides. BURN IT!
Finally you guys can understand what it's like for people outside of America, we watch Drag Race US and half the stuff is completely over our heads. I've started re-watching old season with an American and have to say it completely changes things. Luckily she has me to translate the UK one too, sometimes literally.
Tayce was panto, but not panto Dame. Peter Pan is a common pantomime, so she was like a panto Tinkerbelle.
Yep! She was Panto! Michelle clocked it and stood up for her which I was happy about. She wasn't a classic panto dame but defo panto.
@@astrojake Category was Panto Dame. There's a big difference between Panto Dame and Panto Character.
She was serving local weather girl panto realness but not the dame
She was more Pinnocchio than Peter Pan imo, but yes defo not panto *dame*
Yh she was panto but they dont normally wear dark blue. It's light colours like pink and white.
I honestly thought Beastenders was one of the best acting challenges in drag race herstory 😂 but maybe you don’t get any of the references if you’re not British.
It was funnier than most of the American challenges even for me and I’m not British
same!
I agree. For me it was definitely among the strongest acting challenges we've seen. Though I'm Irish so would be more familiar with the references than a typical American.
I’m Dutch and I loved it. I’ve never seen Eastenders, but soap operas here are similar and they get parodied here a lot, so I could easily see where they wanted to go with the challenge.
Many Americans watch Eastenders like me....😉
as a brit, listening to these two trying to navigate british culture is amazing
The “thing on the head” is a big pantodame thing though so it fits the category.
And Sug, it’s cardboard. Lawrence talked about making it. Love you both 💕
As a Brit, love hearing Bob do the cultural translation. One key thing is that it is about comedy retellings of classic fairy tales. (or iconic stories like Peter Pan)
-The key roles are cross dressed, not just the dame, so there is usually a Prince played by a woman too.
-The Panto Dame is frequently a unique character not actually in the fairy tale just shoehorned in randomly, or is the protagonist's mother.
-The Dame usually has several costume changes into different exagerated dresses.
-They often lead the audience participation part of the show
Not Bob gaslighting Shuga into hating Tayce's look 😥 the cheek, the nerve, the gall, the audacity and the gumption!
I heard Tayce when I read that last part
Please never use "gaslighting" in this context again, it's disrespectful.
@Gangoo it’s just a word, and I’m sure the original commenter meant absolutely no harm using it!! No need to be offended by EVERYTHING⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
@@gabriellagulyas3778 you are here to defend the OP against learning anything or growing in any way - absolute hero
Shuga is so sweet and wholesome she can compliment anything... even that wig.
Endgame portal scene, but it’s all the gays coming together to stop the wig
On your left
Not us having to recruit followers so Bob can stop torturing us
"I don't even know who you are"
Wanda is coming for that wig!!!
@@wanderer2453 Black Widow: "I've got a lot of red in my ledger." She meant this wig.
Shuga has the nicest teeth/smile in herstory. I can’t believe how beautiful she is.
This wig IS legendary, just like Dracula, Bigfoot, or Medusa. But honestly, I do love it, especially with today's look. It's the dark red crimpy parts that do it for me. Thank you for giving us almost a full season of this wig - I love seeing you torment your overly critical viewers
I don't mind the wig now. I think it's pretty now, tbh. I'm also a pathological liar like Aquaria.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 x
Please do Purse First Impressions for RPDR DownUnder when it starts, especially considering there is already controversy before it's even started
I hope she does it for Drag Race Spain too!!
What controversy?
What controversy
One of the Queens has done blackface, though she has publicly apologised around the BLM movement, buuuuut there is a long history of cultural appropriation and other racist performances.
Australians are pretty racist tbh lol
Bimini better win this, and her victory would be one of the most celebrated wins after Jinkx Monsoon
Jaida? Priyanka? Shea?
@@Chun-believable girl AS5 was literally just a set up season for Shea to win. everyone knew it the moment the cast was announced
@@Chun-believable everybody knew she was gonna win 😂
@@azlxns even though she was the 3rd best in the season...
@@azlxns I wonder if people would’ve been saying the same if Juju won, being that it was her 3rd time, and she was also doing really really well.
Then again, she wasn’t getting the credit she deserved for the challenges.
I just can't take my eyes of Shuga, She's so gorgeous!! The heart-shaped highlight on her nose is iconic.
The scottish thing Lawrence Chaney says is “Och aye the noo” which means “oh yes, just now” its often used to mock scottish people by non scottish people
Shuga is the actual definition of "not bothered" Such a chill queen.
“och aye the noo” is used as like a parody of the way Scots speak. p the words are in the Scots language but the phrase is not used by Scottish people in actual conversation, it’s like a way of poking fun at them or parodying Scottishness
And it means, "oh yes, just now"
Nah people actually use it in Scotland. It's not a parody 😂
@@foodngems Then what does it mean?
I say “och aye” and “the noo” but never together. I’ve never heard anyone actually say it in conversation.
@@christina-q1x8z same
Tayce didn’t do a panto dame. In pantos, there’s almost always a fairy character that acts as a narrator/fairy godmother throughout, so she was emulating that pretty well imo.
I mean sure but her costume reference was a complete miss. Since she copied a Kylie Minogue John Galliano showgirl costume instead of taking inspiration from actual panto.
@@sunnivaleflair3576 and it wasn’t even as good as kylies 🙈
the amount of love I have for shuga and bob is just immeasurable and seeing them together was just a dream
The wig is a religion. When James fixes it, it’s going to be like the second coming of Jesus.
Shuga looks like that wealthy auntie you have that has no kids and does nothing but go to classy parties and be an icon and has 15 different sugar daddies ✨💖
And she offers to buy you plan b and never tells your mom because she has lived life.
Oh honey this woman IS the sugar daddy
I think you mean Shuga daddies
shuga has the most welcoming and bright aura. i feel like she gives good hugs
Omg it totally does feel like she gives good hugs and smells good!
Hello from a Scotsman. “Och aye the noo” means oh yes, just now. One of our many old Scots slang phrase things
I went to the comments to look for this lol
Can you use it in a sentence cuz I'm still confused lol
Thank you!
@Rob McA omg so when you're about to finish and your partner asks if you're close, do you say OCH AYE THE NOO
I was JUST bouta ask LOL thank you!
I absolutely adore that wig!
Girl, you made it a moment and are rocking it!
Am I the only one who paused this vid, searched for “yes I am EastEnders”, watched two hours of clips about the aftermath of Kat’s confession, and came back to finish watching Bob and Shuga?
Bob if you did a calendar with that wig I would buy it
Same.
The iconic part about that YOUR NOT MY MUVVA bit was that until then she’d been brought up to believe she was her sister.
"These panto dames are often straight guys, so the walk was really on point." #SHADE
It's not really shade? Bimini was intentionally walking like that, and straight guys don't usually power strut like a supermodel... 🤷♂️
As a Londoner, I can promise that the Beastenders was EPIC. YOUR NOT MY MUVAAAAAAAAAAA. YES I AMMMMMMMMM
shugas iconic underrated moment was when she told rajah on untucked “well you brought it up👀😐”
Bob's wig looks like: if a teenage girl bleached her hair, then thought she was doing something bold with a partially dyed moment, and instead of re-dying it all again to fix it after realizing it was bad, she just left it. And now her natural brunette roots are starting to creep back. When she needs to be "presentable" she'll 80s crimp and bump it a little bit just to double down on the whole "bold" presentation, when in reality she's only replaced her embarrassment of the hair with fashion *burp* delusion.
*flashbacks to my high school scene phase*
This is ooooodly specific
Me in lock down 1!!! 😂🙈
Just sat Hayley Williams.
Not the burp lolllll but is it fashion??
When Shuga said Bob's wig is booked and blessed. I cackled!
I think I’m starting to become one with the wig.
At this point I feel like a piece of me will die once we reach the 400k 😨😂
Really love how Bob does his homework and explains our British culture. We always know everything about Americans but you guys struggle with our references so thank you for highlighting these things for everyone. ❤️
Bob, you are so hilarious! i love everything you bring us and particularly this episode! The jokes, the banter, the episode analysis, the looks, Shuga and her purely stunning everything (including that room! )...this entire episode was giving me so much very needed life!!
I even agree with Shuga about the wig! (the total look is everything!...AND I am really ready to see a new wig)
I wanna see Bob in Shuga's face. Bob has a great canvas for makeup honestly. And the wig honestly looks better down than in pigtails
i think the color of the curtain / level of lighting compliments the wig this time so it doesnt look as hideous? but in the pigtail video it was oof
@@gaelgarciabarchive the pigtails honestly hurt my feeling. I felt personally attacked.
Bob: “ I don’t like when people put things on their head”
Me: *thinking about the fascinator runway* well... 😂
Us glaring at that. Wig
Ongina watching this 👁👄👁
When I saw Ellie with that hoop skirt that was too short I remember thinking *oooo Bob is gonna come for her!* 😂
Still annoyed Ellie or RuPaul haven’t said “she Dundee already Dundee had herses”
Okay, but Shuga din't have to snap this harrrrrrrd, queen of beauty
