The correct word is "himbo", not "he-bimbo". I learned that by watching "Pushing Daisies"!

So... time to go on a RumPage through West Hollywood?

All joking and hyperbole aside- this episode was a joke. Even Darienne couldn't defend Darienne this time. Based on past performance alone she should have been the one sent packing. The whole thing is a mess that just came off wrong-headed and strange.

Ben may not have been the best last night, but she was ONE of the best. Her looks were much better than the criticism she got, and the resulting elimination was shocking- but not in a good way. In a way that just . . . felt wrong. As close to an actual miscarriage of justice as you can have with a inconsequential reality TV show about drag queens.

I don't know why anyone is surprised - RPDG always picks one villainous shit-stirrer to make the Final Three, so the fans have someone to root against. This isn't a secret, people - jeez, it happens every friggin' year.

Very much agreed on the miscarriage of justice vis-a-vis Ben. A solid performance overall including a kick ass Maggie Smith and a terrific interview of Chaz Bono and he loses to a queen who wore on the runway in her first costume what looked like orthopedic grandma shoes followed up by a dress that looked like a big brown stocking mumu. Some of those judges had it in for Ben for they were really reaching on nitpicking his clothing choices. Ben certainly didn't look like the Goodwill Trash that Darienne resembled.

I believe Rupaul didn't like the ganging up on Darienne when as many as (3?) of girls suggest that she will be the one sent packing and decided to screw them over.

What do we think of her chances at Miss Congeniality? We in this thread may be a bit biased in her favor, but I'm having a hard time thinking of someone more lovable and congenial in this season. Maybe Joslyn Fox has a shot, but isn't the award often given to the one who fans think really didn't deserve to be eliminated?

This is the best thing I've ever read. I feel better now.

shake her like a baby? stay classy, ryan.

Darienne Lake had three of the worst looks in this shows history. That easily should have sent her home. The executive realness category seemed to throw everyone, which amazes me when you think how Alaska rocked that shit in a pantsuit and hard hat.

@9 - That's what makes this so baffling for me. I'll give Darienne some credit for a decent lipsynch, but those godawful outfits should have rightfully precluded a lipsynch altogether. The end of the episode should have been "Darienne Lake, you are up for elimination. Everyone else, you are safe. Darienne Lake, sashay away."

Yeahhhh ... those outfits of Darienne's were downright embarrassing! Has anyone THIS raggedy ever made it THIS far?? I'm trying to remember ...

Objectively, I think Darienne might have had more of the Ru-approved lipsynch fire than our beloved Dela. But those looks alone -- especially the brown body stocking jeweled crotch one -- were BRUTALLY off base and should have sent her home. This was a disgrace. I love Ru but blehhh.

don't hate me people, but of all the "large" queens that have graced this show Darienne is the worst. Just simply the worst. If she makes the final 3 when Latrice Royale did not, I'M DONE WATCHING. She is a joke. She is horrendous. Her looks are so bad that I, (not a queen) who do not saw, can come up with better stuff than her. WHAT A JOKE.

I don't like either of them: should have been a double elimination last night. Darienne is untalented and Ben DeLaCreme can only do one character. Now if we just get rid of Cortney life will be perfect

I am so grateful someone put words to my Horror at Ben Delacreme's elimination. I agree whole-heartedly. I feel Mama Rue is trying to make some point about big girls making it to the top 3, but Miss Lake is not the Big Girl and Latrice isn't on this season.

I enjoyed watching Ben, and was rooting for him. Every time Darienne came on the runway I heard the sad trombone sound in my head, but in this case objectively Darienne had a better lip sync performance.

Thank you for expressing my feelings exactly...

I am in love with you... whoever wrote this article, I'd like to be your best friend from here on out, darling!!!! Could not have said it better than this! #TeamBDLC now and always. Keep writing boo xox I just adore you. And your brain 😎😎😎😎😜😜😜😗😗😗

The Aussie will win. Not because she deserves it but he producers are seeking to expand the brand overseas and who better to go with than the milk toast from down under.

Sort of puts the whole season in perspective. The best group they've had and it was or will be smoke and mirrors to expand the foreign market.
