The reason Ru is not hosting this season is she would’ve had a hard attack after laughing so hard every time she called Lazy Susan

[@marvinraphaelmonfort8289]

Lazy Susan is also a name of drag daughter's plane Jane in S16

[@amnedits4898]

Oh I have got to admit… Michelle hosting is REFRESHING!! There’s something genuine about the way she talks to the queens. Like she’s talking to them not the camera. Also she makes sure that the queens understand every detail of what’s required from them! I love Ru’s style of hosting no doubt, but it’s great to see Michelle step up and already she’s proving to be AMAZING! This season is looking to be good!

[@NATHANIELJELKS-PLANEJANE-FAN]

I Agree With You, Michelle Did Amazing Hosting This Episode, Can't Wait To See Her Host The Rest Of The Season, I Love When RU Host Too But Michelle Being Judge/Hosting Is Different & Nice, Idk Why Other People Are Worried

[@aristotlecruz2021]

michelle judging is giving mama pao with the interactions with the queens in drag race philippines, its like the host is not viewed on a pedestal and is someone who genuinely gets along with the cast

[@Argantonio-b2r]

I didnt even watch s2 or s3 of Down Under, but with Mitchelle as a host I will give it a try honestly, she's much enterteining than Ru, who so far has given us some real weird moments like I don't wanna see any f@%# H&M, or the moment with Pearl... 😂

[@loptr9763]

It’s a well known thing that Michelle really cares for the Queens and it shows in her way of hosting. I’m hopeful about this new season of down under.

[@TruCentrinoTech]

Fans are going to be over it in 2 years and want it to only be hosted by Drag Queens. Remember when everyone liked Ross and Carson? Now, they even want Ru replaced. Refreshing one day, over it the next.

They only have ten contestants, make the first episode non elimination without telling, just to shock some of them awake.

[@awqretxs]

​@@larsg.2492could be a top2 between lazy and max

[@larsg.2492]

@@awqretxs I'm with you on that, 100%. I could think of a few things why they did not choose to go that way. First of all, it builds drama and drama builds interest and audience participation. Give the contestants some talking head time arguing that person x shouldn't be there anymore, a cavalcade of emotions, etc. Second, by making it a runway challenge in direct competition with another competitor you didn't know beforehand, this might feel to much like the start of RPDR season 13, with a smaller roster. They needed a fake-out. Third, make Michelle the benevolent one and curry more favour with the audience. Damn it, this series has broken me, constantly thinking about why production might have done something.

[@noname-st7fr]

@@larsg.2492yeah I agree. Obviously Karna did win the lip sync. But as you said it‘s the first episode and I think Lucina did fight in that lip sync and earned herself a second chance by that

idk, I loved Lucina's performance better. Karna lipsyncs like a dancer while Lucina does it like a drag queen.

[@thanhtamchung6956]

I really, really hoped all season would start with a talent show as a first maxi challenge - episode, so the queens could get to show more about them. Not just bringing a costume, doing a mug and get eliminated episode. And the lighting makes this episode's runway looks like a season 5 production, 11 years ago, budget-wise :)) And, love Michelle!
