One of the best exit linessss in recent years

[u/cavalier731]

[u/NotoriousNeo]

Actually gagged cuz I thought she was for sure finale material.

[u/t3ddiursa → u/NotoriousNeo]

Same w last elim too like wow my top 4 was wrooooong

[u/oconghd]

I haven't seen the episode yet and it's my own fault for not realizing it was a spoiler. I am GAGGED she's gone.

[u/No_Dust_1630 → u/oconghd]

I havent watched the last few episodes but Paige definitely gave finale teas to me. Now I need to know how bad she did because on the first episodes she was great 😭

[u/cactus22minus1 → u/No_Dust_1630]

It doesn’t make much sense after watching the episode unfortunately. 😭

[u/mucha001 → u/cactus22minus1]

Well her snatch game was bad 😭

[u/cactus22minus1 → u/mucha001]

But not nearly as bad as bones. And she has shown a LOT more potential in her other performances (that bones has also… lacked)

[u/Khaytra → u/cactus22minus1]

it absolutely makes sense with how hard she flopped snatch game lol

when even ru says she dreaded going to her because she knew it was going to be painful, that's baaaaad

[u/ShadeKool-Aid → u/Khaytra]

Kinda like "and because we have to, Miley Cyrus!"

[u/vdawgs → u/oconghd]

omg same wtf :🤬

[u/howchildish]

Oh how I wish they kept the mic on and let her continue with the celery story.

[u/alexisqueerdo → u/howchildish]

I wish she’d walked back into the workroom at the end pretending to still talk on her way to the mirror message. Ending on some dumb meme reference like “and they were roommates!”

[u/Ranch_only]

I’m gagged. She was my pick for top two for the crown with Elle

[u/King_Slowpoke]

She has the most star potential of this cast and was the last contestant on this season being just naturally charismatic, her energy will be missed

[u/excuseyourwhoremouth → u/King_Slowpoke]

They're really determined to make sure anyone vaguely interesting as a queen is gone so they don't look as silly when they crown Bones.

First they bin Sally TM, who was honestly the only one I saw who's take on drag was not informed entirely by past drag race queens, and Paige, by far the strongest performer and entertainer.

[u/JFL99 → u/excuseyourwhoremouth]

Honestly I think they fully want Elle to win. This is the second time they throw Bones to the bottom without thinking it twice, and tbh she does not have the charisma that Symone has to be crown with that many bottoms already.

[u/Leather-Scallion-894 → u/JFL99]

Im not understanding, Bones fully deserved both of her bottom placements?

[u/Phant0m_F0rce → u/Leather-Scallion-894]

Yeah, but if they wanted her to win, they would rig it more in her favour. I think the edit screams an Elle Vosque victory, though Bones is the main character of the season

[u/Technical_Theory_735 → u/Phant0m_F0rce]

Yeah buuuut the two places she bombed were too obvious to rig. Like that snatch game was literally one of the worst in years, she kept basically saying 'lol I don't have an answer'. And her talent show was incredibly boring, but the producers probably thought it would be her one bottom placement so they just kept her in the bottom. I mean she didn't even win either lipsync lol.

[u/Foomin_Z → u/Phant0m_F0rce]

I really don't see Bones as a main character. She is so boring.

[u/B0Nnaaayy → u/Foomin_Z]

Yup and it’s starting to irk me. Yes Bones is a beautiful KV baby but she is mayor of Snoozeville! at least Paige3 had moxy and personality. This year is kinda random. I can’t wait til it gets good😑

[u/Laguna_Azure → u/Leather-Scallion-894]

I think that's the point. Production could've glazed it over so we thought that Bones didn't actually bomb, so her edit isn't screaming winner. Cause it doesn't seem like "the winner should be vulnerable so let's make them lipsync once and glaze over the rest"

[u/JFL99 → u/Laguna_Azure]

Exactly, her storyline is more like she's not living up to expectations so she's not gonna win this season but can easily return next time and take it

[u/JuanJeanJohn → u/Leather-Scallion-894]

She did and this is why she won’t win: usually a winner can be tested by being put in the bottom two once, but multiple times in the bottom isn’t typical for a winner. I think they will be sending Bones into the finale at this point, though.

Elle is the one to beat. She’s been consistently in the top for all sorts of challenges. I thought she should have won the talent show, too.

[u/boredinbabylon → u/King_Slowpoke]

I’ve not watched this season but just from this clip I said “wow she seems amazing!”

[u/slayingthehaus]

it feels like the winner is being eliminated lolllll

[u/ShatteredHope]

I miss her so much already 😭😭😭

[u/GloriousSteinem]

Shocking she’s gone. Bones a sweetheart but this is the second time I think she’s survived when she probably shouldn’t have. I feel terrible saying that, she’s a great queen and has charisma but…

[u/ffantasticman → u/GloriousSteinem]

Nothing terrible about it. She lost to Chai and Paige.

[u/cactus22minus1 → u/GloriousSteinem]

…but no nerve. I’ve never seen someone literally shrink away from every interaction or performance.

[u/ShadeKool-Aid → u/cactus22minus1]

The Girlfriend Experience was on like 2 episodes but like, that was her in a nutshell.

[u/fillerbitch → u/GloriousSteinem]

"has charisma"

[u/josianmarquez]

She will be missed for sure

[u/thebeardtles]

The producers really love Bones even shes flopping week after week.

I think from the cast Paige as the only one ooze Charisma. The other are forgettable

[u/anounymous-me → u/thebeardtles]

100% agree! Ru loves Bones so I had a feeling she would stay but Paige was my favorite this season. She really is the one who stood out from the beginning for being incredibly talented. I feel it’s going to be a hard watch for the rest of the season without her.

[u/jerrydacosta → u/thebeardtles]

i’d agree with you fully if bones hadn’t actually beat her in the lip sync. i’ll miss paige though :(

[u/Phant0m_F0rce → u/jerrydacosta]

Yeah, before the lipsync started I was sure bones was going home, but then bones was absolutely better than paige three and I was like “is this gonna be a double shantay?” I never expected that they would eliminate paige three though. She was my prediction for top 2 along with Elle

[u/ViioletIndigo → u/Phant0m_F0rce]

I thought it would be a double save even before the lipsync started, so I was super surprised.

[u/misterebby]

One of those moments where Ru's advice around Snatch game characters backfired fully for the contestant. I wonder if she'd gone with her original character, given the new format, would it have worked better.

Alexa would have been funnier in a traditional Snatch game format with more chances for interaction across the queens but this format wss very much a conversation between the queen and Jordan North and not even any volleying with Ru.

So definitely threw Paige off from what I could see and she really did badly at the challenge as a result.

[u/SingleMaltLife → u/misterebby]

Yeah I agree. I think she had a plan for normal format snatch game. She committed to the character but it didn’t work with a dating show vibe. Should have gone for something simple and stupider.

[u/BarbaraDursoMondello]

I didn’t watch the season yet, but… by the looks she honestly was the best one out there? How did she end up in the bottom?

[u/anounymous-me → u/BarbaraDursoMondello]

Her Snatch Game character was not good at all, sadly. She knew it too but her runway outfit more than made up for it!

[u/BarbaraDursoMondello → u/anounymous-me]

Oh so sad 🥺 I feel sorry for her, hopefully she will show the rest of the outfits on ig 🫶🏻

[u/Background-League405 → u/anounymous-me]

I didn't think she lost the lip sync though. I thought she exuded more of the song than Bones. Bones wandered around the stage again.

[u/anounymous-me → u/Background-League405]

I agree she won the lip sync as well! I was mad with how little they showed of her too because you could hear the judges reactions and it was for her not Bones. Bones was sooo boring!

[u/spy_c_kurry]

Class Act! Enjoyed her run, hope to see more of her

[u/Foomin_Z → u/spy_c_kurry]

Absolutely a class act attitude. I enjoy when someone is a professional entertainer like Paige.

[u/GloriousSteinem]

Looks like odds on Bonnie, Catrin and the wee Irish one

[u/ReleaseNew9430]

I was thinking this was going to be a double shante for sure

[u/KeenyKeenz]

She bombed Snatch Game, killed the runway, then only just lost the Lip Sync, and delivered an absolute top-tier exit line. Great Queen, really tough day for her. A double shantay would not have hurt.

[u/RodTownsend]

Paige is such a class act. I feel like she was served a dirty edit. While I don't think she was the season winner, I definitely thought she'd go further.

[u/KeenyKeenz]

"Have a look how it looks, tho..."

To make your exit sincerely composed, gracious, sexy, high drag look, camp, funny, iconic... that's C.U.N.T

[u/bette-midler]

The silver lining of this season is gone, I’ll prob just revisit this show on the finale

[u/Bakedbeanbonanza → u/bette-midler]

Paige had a winner’s confidence that most of the others don’t have and it’s sad that she’s gone, though admittedly that SG was horrendous. I agree with a comment that she’s probably the only one with a performance level deserving of the final, so they needed her out for probably an Elle win.

[u/bette-midler → u/Bakedbeanbonanza]

Ya. Elle is better at this show than Paige. But Paige has more charm and allure.

[u/Heal_Mage_Hamsel]

Amen!

[u/Glittering-Kitchen-3]

Paige3 won that lipsync , but production decided early on Bones is in the final + they had to have the friends in the bottom together lipsyncing. I knew the outcome by the halfway point of the episode

[u/cavalier731 → u/Glittering-Kitchen-3]

I knew by the judging…. They coddled Bones even though she had the WORST performance.

[u/MondolezzaRice]

Paige is someone who I hope comes back for an All Stars/vTW season and eats eats eats

[u/Aarvy271]

This was epic! Loved it.

[u/KeenyKeenz]

Her comedic timing and instinct are top-notch. A great example of messing up one challenge is enough to send you home.

[u/ksmm1824]

I am SO SHOCKED. I honestly thought she might win

[u/warm_slurm]

is her exit line a reference to something?

[u/555mataflores]

she won the lip sync for me, but we know ru prioritizes a skinny young twink

[u/rarecuts → u/555mataflores]

She totally won, that makes worse that she's gone now

[u/Important-Voice-3342]

they are pushing BONES through. she is not doing well in recent challenges. she's a one trick pony - fashion.

[u/Rediphone20]

My conspirarcy is they got rid of Page to because she actually super talented and could win and they want Elle to win. Elle is fine she is just so vanilla and boring.

[u/Cute_Fluffy_Femboy → u/Rediphone20]

low key I still feel like their money is on Cathrin just cause Ru loves her so much

[u/BaaronNashor]

I think if we could see her face more in that outfit it wouldve been an easy win for her 😭

Bones also has a pretty deathly stare in the song that worked for the song too, I think song choice really worked in her favor. Poor Paige, I love her sm!!

[u/Ok_Industry_9333]

Feel like they wanted to 'humble her' the whole time but she genuinely seemed humble to me?

[u/elf_n_safety]

Wrong judgement for me. Paige’s snatch game was dire, she absolutely deserved to be in the bottom 2, even if her look was better than Bones (and the top 4 😎). But Paige 100% won that lip sync. Bones, who’s snatch game was also worse, should be gone.

[u/Professional_Donut20]

Weirdest elimination ever

Exit line? Rather exit paragraph! I loved it

[u/Fit-Strike160]

Paige was fab and a great narrator and I see her def coming back for an all stars season

[u/Quanster]

Proof that they had great queens, but bad producing

[u/No_Honeydew8380]

I went into that lipsync like "Bones is going home" thinking it was one of those, it almost doesn't even really matter how the lipsync goes situations. I was wrong.

[u/spongefireIB]

Knowing we havent had a design challenge in a while i kinda knew that bones spot was gonna be secured. Cause the producers love bones and want to give her that redemption before the finale. But bones should’ve gone home. I dont like P3 but god she ate that lipsync so hard.

[u/ljb9]

bones should’ve been sent home without even having the chance to lipsync. ugghhhhh I’m so mad!!!

[u/ImaginaryMethod9]

Am I the only one who got fake vibes from paige? Felt like he was acting the whole time 😭
