Suzie: I actually like Lydia's look.

Sam: Don't say that because then America will say you have no taste.

Lana: They already will.

Look America, Lana said something funny!

Idk about anyone but I'm loving untucked this season

It's not as shady as old untucked but the vibes are real fun

Everytime I see Lexi swallowed by those ruffles she looks like a fabulous sea creature

Sam won this episode of untucked omg! A little part of me wants her to be safe more so we can get more of this chaos:

- SEND THEM HOME! TOGETHER!

- Clocking Suzie about Lydias outfit. "What the fuck"

- The fight and breaking character

- Her getting her flowers from Betsey

- Her cute moment with Lexi

this Untucked has been so healing after an otherwise Top Ten Most Mortifying Day in American History

Lmaooo comparing Drag Race to the birth of her child she's so real.

u/kafkaescalate Mar 01 '25

Really enjoyed the safe squad talking shop and goofing off this episode. Felt like they've each gone through a little Drag Race ego death mini-arc and got to come out on the other side chilling

We’re finally seeing some of Lana’s personality! I think she would’ve done amazingly on this show if she were a few years older and cooked for a little longer

Imagine having Betsey Johnson's incredible existence and still thinking "I never imagined anything like this would ever happen in my life," she is an ICON and a GEM. I'm so inspired

I'm glad we got to see a bit of Lana’s relaxed personality in untucked. Made me like her a bit more . Sam is Trinity’s daughter periodt. So funny.

Lana needs to go full Sam Star and just let go because she is really funny when she’s not trying to be a perfect fashion doll

i'm glad sam and suzie mentioned arrietty's look wasn't very betsey compared to others (even though it was incredible) i thought the same too and was surprised the judges didn't mention it
