Live from Tuckahoe, it’s RDR Live! The queens are challenged to serve up laughs in a hilarious send-up of the iconic sketch comedy show. Actress and three-time SNL host Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) guest judges.

I am such a buffy fan, I lived for SMG, and I was so happy to see her really be present in the show. I wish Ru had announced her with more fanfare. If I had been a queen there I would have passed out from hearing her name.

I think all the queens did fairly OK. I don't think Mhi'ya deserved to be in the bottom. The bitch was hilarious. Plasma was a deserving winner. I think she snatched the win from Q because her choice of Cher runway was more well thought of and original.

And although I love her, I think it was Geneva's time to go. How hard is it to learn the lyrics to the song! It was a real shame to see Mirage leave. She wasn't going to win of course but she would have slayed a dance challenge and we're going to miss that. But that girl is going to be touring the world for a long time because she can perform the house down boots!

I am also soooo relieved that Amanda was safe. When she was announced as the guest in Roscoe's viewing party I thought she would be the next to go, because you can almost bet that whoever gets invited to Roscoe's is the eliminated queen. So glad to see her there still. She might not be the fiercest but there's something about her that for me makes her so likable.

And does anyone remember when was the last elimination without an exit line. That was hard to watch... :(

I was BORED with the challenge and that doesn't say anything about the queens' acting. It is purely a lack of imagination and plot from the writers of this challenge.

I laughed once with Plasma and when she won I was like 'makes sense'.

I am also very sad for Mirage but now we have a very fun song that will live in my cardio playlisy for the years to come.

However, the runway was SO FUN. Loved most of the outfits and it made me fall in love with Xunami again.

As a finishing statement: this is SMG's world and we are just living in it.

I guess you have to be a SNL fan to appreciate it? I am not, and I didn't live for the challenge but I didn't hate it either. It actually went by really fast for me ("Is it over already?" I asked myself).

now we have a very fun song that will live in my cardio playlisy for the years to come.

Do you mean her talent show song?

And yes, the runway was iconic! They should have had SMG and Chad Michaels as guest judges :D

this is SMG's world and we are just living in it.

Can I get an amen up in here?!

I agree that this challenge was meh. The jokes weren’t joking. And what was that Megami and Plain Jane sketch being a near repeat of Jimbo and Jessica’s? As Violet has said about some challenges in season 7, you can’t polish a turd. I thought only the brick idea was funny

Shit I thought that looked familiar. Producers' mind: If something worked, do it again until it doesn't work anymore

Also I lived for Mama Ru’s number lol. I imagine she’s always wanted to be a musical guest on SNL

She left no crumbs

Riiiiight!

It was so fun to see her in the golden light.

Another quote from a queen I always use when I see the word 'golden': dreams of a golden shiiiiiild.

I def meant 'she is such a bitch'.

I am that bitch, for a moment, in the cross-trainer

Slay that training bitch!
