RuPaul's Drag Race: House of Fashion (2023)
Season 15, Episode 5
6/10
Very confused by the judging and still too short episodes.
29 January 2023
This episode was definitely better than the last one, with a classic mini-challenge that unfortunately didn't show us much of the girls, because they're still many (I'm not complaining about it), but they edited the segment very short, so we didn't have too much time to enjoy it.

The main challenge was one of those I look forward to each season, yet we didn't get to know how the teams were picked, if it wasn't for some of the Queens' narrations that it was randomly assigned.

I do appreciate that the directors did included a little bit of RuPaul's feedback with some of the teams in the workroom, unlike the past episode.

I really love to see the Queens doing their magic, arts and crafts in the workroom, we got some of that, but not much. The time is still lacking for all of them.

Now, what I really couldn't understand was the placements. I feel, based on the main challenge, that the right person won and the right person went home, but I honestly feel that the other 2 bottom placements didn't belong there, purely based on the execution of the main challenge. And I know about this, I pay bills with wath they did. 2 people who were safe I honestly think should have been bottom. Also, some safe should have been high too.

It's so confusing because of this decision of having so many Queens with 40 minute episodes. It's a very bad move and both, production and the broadcaster should make arrangements regarding this issue. Besides the dumb decisions of not broadcasting the episodes on the same date on international MTV channels (like all serious channels do to avoid piracy, like HBO, Fox, AMC, etc), it takes knowing one person with WoW+ and you can organise a viewing whenever you all can/want. You know I'm not gonna pay for my own subscription when you're not giving quality and you're being disrespectful to the artists.
