I could see Michelle taking over. She's probably already more involved with the day-to-day of the show and the brand than Ru is.

As far as trainwreck acting challenges go, that one was at least somewhat entertaining and not too cringeworthy.

Though they really should've done "Valentina Standing in a Diaper Smiling in Silence while Nina Argues with Imaginary Critics" the show.

Valentina had the idea of working in an office, Nina had the idea of doing a Jerry Springer kind of show. They should have combined that idea and been something like the host and booking agent for a trash talk show and having to contend with the crazy guests. That would be a tv show I would watch.

As far as Ru seeming checked out, I just think she's busy. Aren't they doing a movie or series about her life? I figure that's eating up a lot of her spare time. I think she loves the show, she's just distracted with a full plate, where as previous seasons it was really the only thing she was doing.

Also anyone gets testy when they're presented over and over again with queens who aren't ready. I know the fandom gets mad and it's only just a small part of their lives; Ru is literally a professional lifelong drag star.

I'd worry if Ru feels checked out for Season 10. It's been a grind between Season 8, All-Stars 2, and Season 9 in a two-year span on top of a failed game show and everything else. She should be able to go into Season 10 more refreshed.

Not to mention filming Girlboss, plus another show she was on but hasn't said what yet. And then maybe consulting with JJ on the show about her. Been a busy couple of years.

Is it just me or is Nina lightening up more and more every time she's been in the bottom? She might just be getting some confidence from winning the lip syncs but I think she's starting to realize/think that she's not going to win and just starting to have some fun with it. She seemed to really like working with Valentina and was content with going home based on the challenge. Her attitude was also way better with the judges.

I don't know about lightening up, but Nina at least doesn't make excuses for screwing up or tying to spin the lack of preparedness. She explained she wanted to do a more detailed chest but ran out of time and said so (and at least she didn't wear that chestplate, although it amuses me she was slapping tits that weren't there!), nor did she drag Valentina for the bad show. It saddens me to see Nina so deeply in her head; my sister had a similar falling out with a friend much like the Untucked conversation with Shea years ago but thankfully got help and has a strong friendship with that person now. I just want to see Nina believe in herself. :(

Alexis is far worse in behavior imo. She got into almost the same argument with Peppermint over the narration that reminded me of the 9021-Ho challenge. She tried to take credit for the show as a way to hide her lack of standout performance. Any time there's a body read she's portrayed as shutting down (possible shady editing aside) and while of COURSE there's lines not to cross (disorders) she'll dish it out no problem.

Nina is frustrating, but Alexis is downright toxic. And like others said Alexis hadn't brought anything particularly unique nor proven she's as well rounded as Trinity, Shea, Sasha, or Peppermint. Unless one of them makes a major misstep next week I think we're seeing Alexis and Nina LSFYL and I hope Alexis goes home first.

Cheering for Trinity, Nina, and Sasha now that Valentina is gone. Sasha and Nina are the coolest I think Trinity is most likely to win though.

There aren't challenges, everyone just kinda has to scrape together 12 performances that somehow correlate. The person eliminated is based on completely arbitrary poo poo, like "i didn't like the lip color you used" or "I don't like that band"

I haven't seen much in the way of dancing from her, though. Without the projector gimmick to lean on, she might be kinda hosed if she has to lip sync for her life.

A God Damn Ghost
Nov 25, 2007

booyah!
I wouldn't say the projector is a gimmick, it's a whole extra aesthetic dimension to her performances. She makes pretty deliberate choices about what to display and seems practiced at making her movements synchronized with what she's displaying.

I have seen other performances by her without the projector, and she gave great face, embodied the song, and had good moves. I haven't seen any acrobatics or advanced dance moves from her, but I think she is good at what she gives. My only concern would be that I haven't seen her pull off any standard pop songs, the kinds of songs she chooses for herself are not that. If she had to lipsync to a song that isn't to her style, I don't know if she'd be able to embody it and bring the same level of showmanship.

That's fair, and "gimmick" is harsher than I meant to be. She clearly puts a lot of thought into her performances, and I think she's accomplishing what she's trying to do. Like you say, though, she could be in trouble with some pop song she didn't pick. In that context, I think she might come off as kind of sedate.

Ru looked really good this episode, that dress was gorgeous, which makes sense as Zaldy is her main dressmaker. What the gently caress Nina using the Crayola Model Magic? Terrible.

This was probably the best episode of the season so far, although having Kesha who is no longer Ke$ha I guess? as a guest judge and not using a song? Choices.
