The "'Disco-Mentary"' was yet another one of those episodes, and for good reason. Even more than usual, one can practically see producers pulling the strings behind the scenes."<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Lynch |first=Amaya |date=2022-09-12 |title=RuPaul's Drag Race: 10 Worst Episodes, Ranked According To IMDb |url=https://screenrant.com/rupauls-drag-race-worst-episodes-ranked-imdb/ |access-date=2024-03-07 |website=ScreenRant |language=en |archive-date=2022-10-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221008054104/https://screenrant.com/rupauls-drag-race-worst-episodes-ranked-imdb/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Lynch also wrote, "Tamisha Iman had a rocky run on the season, but when she happened to end up in the bottom with Kandy Muse after they had an explosive argument in ''Untucked'' the week before, it was clear that production was playing into the drama. The judging for the episode is also confusing, with the queens selected as the tops and the bottoms making little sense."<ref name=":0" />
