Just watched the train wreck of a lipsync and it made me feel sad. I was hoping one would pull off a (You Make Me Feel Like A) Natural Woman lipsync, a la Latrice Royale and just stick to the stage and emote while the other one wiggles around like a manic elf on stage. Also gently caress Acid Betty. Chi Chi was trying her best to lead, but you can't lead controlling rear end in a top hat. Didn't listen to anything, ready to just blame her for everything if they lost, criticized and provided no content, and generally a sour grape. God, I hop she leaves, it's like nails on a chalkboard, she's acerbic and it's painful to watch.

Well I mean she's not Sweet Betty, she kind of comes as it says on the tin. Honestly I'm glad to have a villain who is just a bitch, just a real lowlife stank rear end bitch. It's a refreshing change from the "we're all sisters" schtick the girls have been doing on the last seasons to avoid social media backlash. Acid Betty's a bitch, and she knows it.

I know it probably wouldn't work because of the language barrier (berryer?) and all, but Cynthia Lee Fontaine's destiny is to be Juliette Lewis in Snatch Game.

I'm not sure if I want Derrick Barry to be Britney in Snatch Game. If she does Britney, it'll be expected and she'll be safe. If she does someone else, she'll have to loving SLAY it, because Michelle will just ask her why she didn't impersonate Britney instead of being awful. I'm very curious as to who each queen is going to impersonate for Snatch Game. That's my favorite challenge. I could see Thorgy going for Carol Burnett. Bob's will undoubtedly be amazing, whomever she chooses.

- This week's challenge was a hoot and a holler - I hate Acid Betty's attitude but I also love it. She's the heel. Having a good heel makes you root for the faces. It's basic wrestling (and reality TV) psychology. Also her hat thing on the runway was loving cool. - Loved seeing all the pictures of them as kids/teenagers etc., more development for so many of them than I feel like we got for anybody last season - Robbie Turner out of drag looks so much like a young David Byrne - Michelle Visage looks insanely good this season - I have come around on Thorgy, I was initially put off by the white person dreads but I love the honest t. I think I might be rooting for Thorgy.

So, overall impressions after watching this week's episode and Untucked for a second time-- Acid Betty, Bob, and Kim Chi still look like the top three. Dancing was going to be Kim Chi's weakness, and assuming she steps up her runway walk (heh) she should be fine. Maybe there's terrible Betty T out there that will have her leave early but just based on what we've seen she's still up there. Thorgy, CLF, Chi Chi and Derrick Berry might have top three potential. Thorgy and CLF are both funny, super nice and genuine people (see Bob complimenting CLF for being really helpful and a selfless team leader in Untucked) but none of their looks have wowed me and there's a lot of competition. Derrick's Britney is amazing obviously, but her runways have been underwhelming and so far she's not doing a good job demonstrating that she's more than Britney imo. Chi Chi has an amazing personality and drat, the dance moves this episode. Seems like her main hurdle is being a "thrift store" queen so she may have trouble competing on the runway against the likes of Kim Chi and Acid Betty. I'm ready for Naomi and Robbie to go home. Naomi is coming across kind of shady/bitchy and hasn't impressed me beyond having LEGS FOR DAYS. Robbie is most entertaining in confessionals, everything else from her so far has been forgettable and that dress last week was bad.

I get the villain editing, I appreciate people choosing to be "the bitch" as their persona, I get this is a competition. That said, Betty needs to be a goddamn professional. Based on the editing she was caught in a half-dozen hypocrisies (and don't think I wasn't listening week one, too) when it came to the challenge and the runway. If anything this week gave me a lot more hope for Chi Chi to make it further than most would expect and respect for her still trying to lead the team since we've seen way too many queens drop the ball on that! I also appreciated the contrast of Thorgy being honest about the problems and differences of opinion when it came to the comedy part of the choreography. All rumors aside, Betty is going to bad attitude her way right off the show, I just hope it's sooner than later.

I like Acid Betty and hopes she gets worse to people. Driving people out via mindgames and additional pressure is legitimate and valid. Phi Phi did it and was robbed by that usurper Jinx Monsoon and Acid Betty is the incarnation of that glorious revenge.

shadow puppet of a posted:Phi Phi did it and was robbed by that usurper Jinx Monsoon Acid Betty stands out among the legendary bitches of this show because she's the first to come across as downright mean. Phi Phi and Roxxxy were both sharp and reactive and said really nasty things, but it always seemed like a function of the competition, that they wouldn't have been nearly so awful outside the context of the show. Betty, otoh... I TOTALLY believe Thorgy's claim that she's an rear end in a top hat all the time, no matter what. Just waiting for an excuse to go in on someone for the fun of it. Even when she's superficially nice, you can tell she's looking for the shortest route to the jugular. Another thing: previous villains beefed with individuals -- Phi Phi vs Sharon, Roxxxy vs Jinkx. Acid Betty's evil encompasses the whole world, afaict. She bleeds contempt. I am really curious to see where they go with this. spite house fucked around with this message at 03:16 on Mar 16, 2016 |

I'm praying to the drag gods that Shangela pops out of that box again. I'll also settle for Trixie. Sadly no chance in drag hell of Willam. Why isn't this spoiled yet? I have to know!

This time last season, the LSFYLs were some song by RuPaul that not even her sycophants on the judging panel would pretend to like, and a song by Olivia Newton-John that wasn't "Physical." Even within those constraints, the performances themselves ranged from decent to Katya doing slow-splits and ramming her vagina into the floor. Now the show has a budget for one of Lady Gaga's gayer songs and the literal most classic drag queen song, and every lip-syncer has been eliminated? For shame. All that money spent for that. I'd reuse the song if it were me.

Bringing in an entirely new queen seems weird from a casting stand point. If they're brand new and wanted to be on the show, why not just cast them to start. An old queen just makes more sense because the fans typically want to see more of their favorites and there are so many from which to pick. Shangela was an episode 1 elimination. I'm wondering if they will go with Kelly Mantle who seemed polished but just had a bad start.

Because they wanted to stick to the whole "100 queens" thing, possibly. Now that I know BibleGirlWhoever is a possibility, I'm hoping it's her, simply because the other three NYC queens might have a truckload of poo poo to say about her.

Nthing the "How did you get to Drag Race and not have a good I Will Survive tucked away", my godddddd I can't foresee a world where Bob isn't in the finale. Also if she doesn't do Michelle Obama for Snatch Game, I'm going to be actively annoyed.

CLF was talking about her super secret Snatch Game pick in the first Untucked. I don't think she's top 3 quality this season, but I really hope she stays around until Snatch Game. She seems to understand English and the other girls perfectly fine unlike a lot of earlier Puerto Rican girls, it's just that everything she says gets hilariously lost in translation. It will be goddesses. Yes ma'am. What can I do for Jew? Someone GIF the bit in this week's untucked where she's like "oh it's Betty not Berry, technical problems by Seeeentia Lee Fontaine" and gives face to the camera Unrelated, but Derrick is sort of giving me a Milan vibe with her attitude. Girl, you're reading a lot of the other girls pretty hard given your "meh" performances so far. Bob was right about her projecting her own weaknesses on everyone else.

Bina posted:Ask, and ye shall receive. haha awesome, thanks! If you're not watching Untucked it's been really good so far. I wasn't kidding when I said Bob's been running it, she's been safe both times and leading the discussion on who's top/bottom of the week etc which has kept it really interesting and focused. Edit: because I'm sort of getting obsessed with this season (so many great queens), predictions/hopes: Top 3: Bob, Kim Chi, Acid Betty unless she's actually committed domestic abuse. Contenders / I need to see more: Thorgy, Chi Chi, Derrick Berry, SEEENTIA in about that order. This last episode was a dance challenge, it sounds like CLF was a wonderful team leader but didn't really stand out in the main challenge despite claiming to be a professional dancer. Thorgy, Chi Chi, and CLF all have very sincere and lovable personalities, I'm looking forward to gagging on their performance skills. I'm lukewarm on Derrick Berry, like I said she's not really giving me more than Britney impersonator so far but we'll see what she turns out. On the chopping block: Naomi Smalls and Robbie Turner. Naomi's got legs for days and is coming across as a bit of a shady bitch. Robbie delivers good lines in confessionals. Neither of them have given us memorable looks on the runway or particularly exciting performances, and there's FIERCE competition. gently caress, you're playing against the looks of Kim Chi and Acid Betty and the wit of Bob. Bodyodyody and confessional shade ain't gonna cut it. Obviously, it's reality TV and RuPaul is the final word on everything. Just my 2c on what we've seen so far.

Clarification on this rumor: It's not that she's kicked off for having a personal history of [committing] domestic violence, it's that she gets the boot on episode five for having a physical altercation with someone on set. This was posted to facebook by someone who in the same post said something like "I guess I was the only queen who let him beat her."  edit: Wait I'm a dumb and I realize now that you understandably mean you couldn't support someone who commits DV.

To be honest, I doubt half the queens there could do a good I Will Survive and am super bummed about how staged that whole shocking elimination was. My top 3 prediction is Bob, Derrick and Naomi. Kim Chi's gonna leave fifth because you can tell they're giving her the kind of Katya "I lack confidence in myself" edit which will lead to a realization but then a fall to the bottom two where she'll be beaten by a good dancer. Then she'll win Miss Congeniality. Eight Dollars fucked around with this message at 15:55 on Mar 16, 2016 |
