Bina posted:Trinity's runway look was the strongest imo. Holy crap. Agreed. Courtney had the best prop of the night, and it really was a stunning outfit, but I liked Trinity's overall look a bit more. As for Courtney being hoity-toity, I think she has the same issue as Darienne where she's trying to be bitingly funny and kind of failing. She seems like a nice person whose self-effacing humor is easy to edit down to arrogance for the sake of a story. I love this season so far, but it's very easy to feel the producers attempting to craft drama out of a group of people who, by and large, all seem to like each other and get along.

Adore Del Rio  What the christ, Joslyn  As much as I enjoy her on most episodes (seriously what the hell was that) this might be the time for her to go. She's just not on the same level as the other girls. When she does become polished and get her looks together she will be unstoppable. As for Trinity, it's a shame she had to go now but I feel like she has shown me everything she has to offer as far as this reality TV show goes and if she didn't leave now she'd just leave next week.That being said, drat that girl got talent! If the show was nothing but runways and lipsyncs she'd win this season and every other season  And now for some April looks! Black & White (sorry I forgot about it last week):  Animal Kingdom:  quote:Serving alien bird of paradise realness. Edit: Almost forgot. Willam has been cast as a regular on the second season of EastSiders. There's currently a kickstarter to fund it: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1503081443/eastsiders-season-two CHiRAL fucked around with this message at 13:46 on Apr 15, 2014 |

Last week I said Joslyn might become my favourite barring any major faux-pas. Well, that was a major faux-pas. I didn't watch the interviews because I get second-hand embarrassment way too easily, so I only heard about what happened. Good God woman. I don't even know what the gently caress. I love love loved Bianca's runway look. I usually don't care for her makeup at all, but she looked absolutely gorgeous this time around. Trinity was another one who looked beautiful and I can't believe she ended up in the bottom two. Josyln definitely deserved to be there. Or Darienne. I really didn't care for Ms. Lake's nippley bedsheet and I wouldn't have minded her in the bottom two as well. That being said, Adore and Trinity gave us an AMAZING lip sync. Just wow, that was so good. I can't imagine getting the same energy from a Josyln and Darienne battle, so at least that was the silver lining. I wasn't all that impressed with Cuntney's look. Yeah, the wings were cool, but the rest of the outfit looked clunky and ill-fitting. Ben's fly definitely should have won. Not only was it a cool costume, but it was also sexy and her makeup was great. I can't comment on her interview since I didn't watch it, but she seemed to have good reviews from Chaz and Georgia. Overall a good episode. Now Joslyn just needs to pull it together long enough to send Darienne packing.

CHiRAL posted:And now for some April looks! LOVE the Beetlejuice look. I like the Animal Kingdom look, though I'm not sure what it's supposed to be. Some kind of bird? It reminds me of a hummingbird for some reason. In Courtney's words, it's interesting to see Bianca stumble. And Courtney might just be my new favorite - I like the 'low-key personalities with a worldview' types like her. She might not be a great comedian, but she's clearly a polished performer and really charismatic. I'm firmly in the 'Courtney is edited to be a bitch' camp, and if that's true, then it's a pity that her low-keyness made her an easy target for the producers to edit. Speaking of editing, there was a lot of talk of Ben showing vulnerability but I didn't see a thing. And on that note, Darienne is either a straight-up bitch or a very easy target to edit. I don't think she, or anyone in the current group, is a bitch, really. At least, not on the level of previous seasons' villains. There's blatant editing at play. Sad to see Trinity go, since she'd shown some growth and I'd like to see more. At least she left on a good note, unlike  . I actually thought Trinity gave the stronger lip-sync, overall, but Adore's 'backflip into crouching pose' was pretty hard to top, as well.Joslyn... well at least for once she took what the judges said to heart. The abortion line is still untactful, but not, uh, horrible once you know the context. Still like her very much, I had hoped she would pick up pace after the rap challenge, but I think her time is up. I don't see her doing well in the makeover challenge, what with her poor styling choices. Edit: some minor spoilers oops blizzardvizard fucked around with this message at 17:53 on Apr 15, 2014 |

Carlton Banks Teller posted:I hate the lip syncs but goddamn that was a good one. I honestly didn't think Adore would be much of a dancer. Looking forward to next week's; the sneak peek made it seem like Courtney will be a target, but since it's a make-over challenge I don't see it going poorly for her. The "make over a straight man" is a challenge in a different sort of way. Without being too spoiler-y, I think it's sometimes difficult for a queen to adjust her personal style in the way that's needed. I get the feeling that a lot of the fishier queens don't have a lot of experience in the 'female impersonation' aspect and can rest on their natural face/body with a much more subdued makeup style. This doesn't translate well on the straight men, who are/are chosen for their more masculine appearance.

Hopefully we won't get another Carmen moment where she tries to give body with a bulky bro  Isn't this usually the ep where they bring someone back to add drama?

I think they learned after two seasons in a row of the returning queen flunking out. Calling it now: Bianca's gonna win next week and Courtney's gonna get sniffy about it. Joslyn's either going to be eliminated or pull something amazing out of her rear end. Also, if you have the chance to see Shangela live, DO IT. She did a free show at my school and she's INCREDIBLE. She's also incredibly tiny.

^^EDIT: Jealous.  I'd be fine with bringing back I am 100% fine with Shangela making it on the show every season and then always getting eliminated every season (to appear for exactly one episode later in the season, of course). One of the fiercest, most ridiculous queens when administered in very small doses.

Shangela is the best.  I'd think that they build enough slack into the season to let them do what they think is best for the show. I'd hope so, because there are few twists that they could do at this point of the season that we haven't seen before. (But bring April back one more time. Please?)

I think the issue with Trinity is that she had been consistently doing poorly with a piss poor attitude up until the last 3 episodes. Where as Joslyn has been doing OK/decently pretty consistently with a positive attitude.

Also, leaving Darienne in the running for another week or two just gives her that much more time to run herself (and her drag career) under the bus with her vile bitchiness.

She's been consistently weak on the runway since day one, and unlike Trinity shows no inclination to learn anything from what the judges tell her. In my mind, the fact that Trinity has grown so much this season is a very strong mark in her favor, and I just haven't seen that from Joslyn.
