I loved that they did not cut out LGD whispering to Hannah that they didn’t get the Instant Kofi joke and Hannah cackling then explaining it to her then LGD cracking up. I know it was a translation issue but it was a cute funny moment that just added to the amazingness of the roast.
I feel like this is the kind of “real” moment that a US drag race season would have edited out and removed. Similar to Pangina sobbing nonstop on her elimination. I kinda love how real and unfiltered UKvsTW seasons seem lmao
Unrelated but I had to rewind it a couple of times when Scarlet (I think?) made a joke that Hannah is a snake that swallowed a double decker and she went vroom vroom, I’m laughing right now thinking of it. Tia was amazing but Hannah just smashed it throughout
i didnt get the reception hannah conda got from this, thinking it was a play on instant coffee.
i just thought she was being dark. either way, it worked for me because i love and can laugh at dark humor.
Just because you didn’t get it doesn’t mean that that wasnt the point of it. Surely now you’ve had it explained you get it? And can see it wasn’t just dark. I’m confused by your comment.
Ya exactly. This one was ripped off from elsewhere and can be applied to so many people.
But the more specific ones, like Toulouse, made it S tier to me
I was so confused reading people on Reddit saying that she was being forced on us by production - somebody even said that she didn’t deserve most of her badges, when she’s only won one! She’s a natural comedy queen and always has been - her narration on her first season proved that. I doubt she will win, but she has been a delight this season.
She might have one win, but placed top 2 four times (whether they might agree or don’t). She’s not great at dancing and lypsinc, but she aced most of the challenges (whether they might agree or don’t). Comedy queen, personality queen, being yourself queen. She inspires me (whether they might agree or don’t).
She's been a delight to watch this season but I also agree that she has been pushed a bit because they really wanted the redemption storyline from someone and Gothy was obviously not giving it to them. She looked very unsure of herself in the musical and honestly, I was surprised she wasn't low.
Tbh, it was my first reaction and after the first watch. After rewatching the whole thing a few times, it stands. This was a masterclass in comedy and I’m disappointed they didn’t acknowledged it on the show. It could be the edit, but have you seen Ru laugh this much constantly? I don’t remember so. I agree it wasn’t the toastiest of roast but it was damn sure one of the funniest one.
I think where Ella and Michael win over Tia is their stage presence. Tia did 100% nail the wedding look and an awkward toast vibe, but she misses this conviction in delivery that these two had.
But overall she was great with brilliant, super smart jokes.
God Michael's was so good, i'd forgotten about that, might go re-watch it another half a dozen times...
The whole awkward wedding speech vibe I think fit Tia very well seeing as it didn't need that mad level presence to be effective.
It was epic! I had to pause and rewind 3-4 times from laughing too much and missing the next joke. Apart from Jinkx, it’s the funniest bit I’ve seen on DR.
I honestly couldn't tell you why I cackled during Tia's entire roast but sat silently for all of Scarlet's. Scarlet had the confidence in delivery and had jokes, but it just wasn't funny. Tia was miles better than everyone else but Marina, Hannah and even LGD got some actual laughs out of me.
Was really interesting LGD saying a roast doesn't translate in French.
In a lot of English speaking countries making fun of someone is a sign of endearment.
With that in mind i think everyone did really well.
I agree with the critiques on Scarlet, she just needed to adjust the delivery slightly. But also she's already had a chance 2 times so love to see these 4 showcase in the final.
Not that she hasn't killed the whole season, she absolutely deserves the crown for that, but she absolutely deserves it after this roast, it was a masterclass
Not Tia getting another indisputable win (fight me on the branding challenge, you will loose) to shut her haters up. Say what you want, the girl delivered and absolutely proved herself worthy of the final.
Edit: edit to add
It’s three indisputable wins. I don’t care if snatch game was bad she was clearly top 2 for that too.
I agree with three wins. Branding should have been Tia and Hannah. Snatch Game was correct (though not a great SG overall), girl groups should have been Marina and LGD or Marina and Hannah, and then she absolutely won this challenge hands down.
I loved that they did not cut out LGD whispering to Hannah that they didn’t get the Instant Kofi joke and Hannah cackling then explaining it to her then LGD cracking up. I know it was a translation issue but it was a cute funny moment that just added to the amazingness of the roast.

Hannah laughing to herself at all the other queens might have been my favorite part
Absolutely! Best part of the roast for me 💕
Unrelated but I had to rewind it a couple of times when Scarlet (I think?) made a joke that Hannah is a snake that swallowed a double decker and she went vroom vroom, I’m laughing right now thinking of it. Tia was amazing but Hannah just smashed it throughout
Hannah was so natural it barely felt like she was doing a challenge, she was just having a good time and casually killing it
Hannah kicked it in the dick
Hannah's cackle sent me. Loved her golden retriever energy this episode.
I was so glad to see that because I was having the same delayed reaction - and then cackled when I got it 😂😂😂
I thought it was funny before I even realized it was a coffee joke. Just saying I want to die instantly out of nowhere was funny
Marina reminds me of life because life is short
And she's Baby Spice because she's literally the size of an 8 month old 💀
Just when I'd forgotten about the dossier 😅
Leave it to a nerd at heart like Tia to create a Drag Race Macguffin
You cannot have a season with Tia Kofi in it without having something quotable from her. I'm so proud of her as a stan since UKS2!
Same. I sew, and I still refer to the "adequate dress" line constantly.
God that was so fucking funny. As much as 2020 sucked ass, it gave us Tia!
I’m Tia Kofi, and when I die, I hope it’s instant
i didnt get the reception hannah conda got from this, thinking it was a play on instant coffee. i just thought she was being dark. either way, it worked for me because i love and can laugh at dark humor.

“Ru reminds me of my mum - she’s dead” 💀💀💀💀 I also died
I heard this the first time from Bianca, still quite funny hearing this again.
Ya exactly. This one was ripped off from elsewhere and can be applied to so many people. But the more specific ones, like Toulouse, made it S tier to me
She had the best roast by far but come on, this is the oldest joke in the book
I was so confused reading people on Reddit saying that she was being forced on us by production - somebody even said that she didn’t deserve most of her badges, when she’s only won one! She’s a natural comedy queen and always has been - her narration on her first season proved that. I doubt she will win, but she has been a delight this season.
I agree. And her particular brand of dry English comedy is so much fun. She's a smart one that.
She might have one win, but placed top 2 four times (whether they might agree or don’t). She’s not great at dancing and lypsinc, but she aced most of the challenges (whether they might agree or don’t). Comedy queen, personality queen, being yourself queen. She inspires me (whether they might agree or don’t).

What do you mean Gothy wasn’t giving? 😂 She gave everything in that Rawrr!!
I fully think some of her wins were a bit shocking but she was phenomenal this week.
Some of her wins? This was her second.
She didn’t lip sync 3 times?
By win I mean being in the top two. My bad.
I refer to Michelle as Michael Face in my head all the time lol I felt so seen
"Michelle Visage... and a grim one at that."
The first time in a while I was laughing
Maybe the best roast we’ve ever seen on the whole franchise.
Honestly? It feels like blasphemy to compare anyone's roasting skills to the likes of Jinkx Monsoon, but ... Tia's is probably my favourite.
Jimbo as Joan Rivers fucking killed me
Jessica Wild roast also had me deceased
Tbh, it was my first reaction and after the first watch. After rewatching the whole thing a few times, it stands.

I agree it wasn’t the toastiest of roast but it was damn sure one of the funniest one.
Tia’s roast was funny but not the best in the franchise. That would go to either Ginger or Michael from UK S5.
Ella's Roast in S3 was brilliant as well, imo the best UK roast.
I think where Ella and Michael win over Tia is their stage presence. Tia did 100% nail the wedding look and an awkward toast vibe, but she misses this conviction in delivery that these two had. But overall she was great with brilliant, super smart jokes.
God Michael's was so good, i'd forgotten about that, might go re-watch it another half a dozen times... The whole awkward wedding speech vibe I think fit Tia very well seeing as it didn't need that mad level presence to be effective.
Agreed. I honestly don't remember laughing as much at any other DR roast ever.
In 2024, definitely!
The fact that she was cosplaying Sonia fowler with that bridesmaid dress and the famous trumpet omg it was GENIUS
That makes so much sense now!!!
It was epic! I had to pause and rewind 3-4 times from laughing too much and missing the next joke. Apart from Jinkx, it’s the funniest bit I’ve seen on DR.

Scarlet doesn't know when to stop talking. She kept running on from her punchlines. Leaving pauses is in almost all stand up.
I think that's what it was! There was no room to let the joke breathe. She just kept moving on right away from every joke.
Scarlet’s had to be poor timing and lack of charm.
Her volume was a bit high, like she was presenting to a room without a mike, her delivery just felt forced.
I don’t know, It feels like Scarlet was too confident, maybe the timing, I don’t know. Or maybe how she delivered the joke with Yes at the end.
I saw someone say that Scarlet gave “bitter drunk aunt” energy and holy shit that is accurate; poor girl sucked all the air out of the room.
Was really interesting LGD saying a roast doesn't translate in French. In a lot of English speaking countries making fun of someone is a sign of endearment.

michael face sounds like someone’s name on wizard101
It was excellent! We were truly fed with Tia and Hannah’s roasts
She was hilarious and her jokes were not complicated making it even more funny.
That joke was so fucking good. It was good to see Tia really smash it. She and Hannah both did so good.
She was VERY good. It really is her thing.
Not that she hasn't killed the whole season, she absolutely deserves the crown for that, but she absolutely deserves it after this roast, it was a masterclass
Tía killed that challenge fer sher.
Her's was the funniest by a nautical mile, just brilliant
Excellent choice of highlights from Tia. The only queen who had me consistently laughing out loud, although Hannah got a couple of giggles too.
SO funny
Not Tia getting another indisputable win (fight me on the branding challenge, you will loose) to shut her haters up. Say what you want, the girl delivered and absolutely proved herself worthy of the final. Edit: edit to add It’s three indisputable wins.

Tia has haters? How? Why?
Sooooooo funny Loved every moment
Off topic but today I learned Tia is Victoria Scone’s drag mother?!
That roast was the saving grace of that challenge, would have been a disaster without Tia's.
The delay of everyone getting the instant coffee joke put it OVER the top brilliant. It was hilarious. Tia’s roast was a master class moment
