twistedbutterfly posted:I am rooting for Trinity, but honestly any of these queens could win and I would be fine with it. They are all amazing. Same. This is the first time I've liked everyone in the top 4. Trinity is my favorite but I wouldn't be upset if anyone else won. I think this is the most talented top 4 of any season.

Nihonniboku posted:I guess that's true. It was really apparent this season. Some of them came, and just being on the show they've already won. I wouldn't be surprised. Someone on reddit talked to Chi Chi Devayne and Chi Chi mentioned that after appearing on the show she was making 6 figures. I can see Adore making even more than that given how intense her fanbase gets.

the escape goat posted:at the end of the episode all I could think was OH, Y'ALL WANTED A TWIST?! Agree with all this down the board. Hope the lighting is better in future seasons because it did no one any favors. I've watched Fashion Photo Ruview and been surprised by the colors on the outfits. And the song thing that they've done in AS2 and this season is waaay more interesting tv than just "ok we're shooting a music video". The pre-reunion episodes are usually so boring that half the time I skip them, but I really enjoy when they actually have a challenge to do. This one was so good, too, there wasn't a Roxxxy moment at all. I went into the judges critiques thinking 'god this is so difficult, how are they going to pick one to leave they should just let them all be potential winners' and WELL poo poo I'm really rooting for Peppermint, though. But I will say, with Shea going last in the performance, it really felt like all the girls were her opening act. She was really good. Also I liked the bats.

Shea's bit reminded me a lot of Detox's from AS2, in that if either one of them was going to make a hip-hop album I would be very interested in it.

As soon as Michelle started spelling oval office, I knew nobody would go home. gently caress, I wonder how many crownings they had to film tonight, with a top 4. I'm sure they filmed a Sashea double win. C.U.N.Trinity. Crown the Tuck! e: ^^^ yass Canada fish. Untucked was great. Dat stomp off.

I also could not stop looking at whatever the gently caress was going on behind Shea's corset. Totally distracted from the outfit. I'm still hoping Sasha takes it. Love her avant-garde looks.

Yeah, Shea shouldn't have worn that bra/padding under her corset, super distracting. So just a heads up for everyone: I went sniffing around in the finale taping reddit thread for some harmless t and anecdotes, and this year there are some huge things out there to spoil. With it being a top 4 they changed the format entirely. Still multiple crownings filmed for the winner, but how they get to that is something that can be spoiled hard. Tread lightly on the internet this week, girls, because if this t gets confirmed by enough people who were at the taping it'll be all over the internet between now and airing.

This episode was hands down the best of the season. So many good talking head quotes. Trinity saying "I'm going to have to pull some Show Girls poo poo and throw some pearls so she busts her face" and Peppermint's "...so I may have to resort to OTHER means... I don't know what that means." had me laughing SO hard. If I were picking top 3 based only on this episode it would be Peppermint, Sasha and Shea. Overall I would say Shea, Sasha, Trinity. Eitherway, I love it!

angerbeet posted:Yeah if that reddit thread is to be believed we pretty much know the winner I'm not sure how I feel about what this format change will mean for the show going forward, assuming they do the same next year. I have a lot of ~thoughts~ about the whole thing, but I'd rather wait two weeks for it to air than fill this thread with spoiler boxes. They're filming a classic closed set reunion today, I think, rather than us getting a recap episode next Friday. If the T about the finale filming is true (and it seems to be confirmed by now) I can imagine filming an episode meant to air before it will be weird for some of the girls.

No top 4 elimination? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mAJIge48Qo All kidding aside, great episode. Peppermint KILLED the challenge, Shea was basically Beyonce (but with slightly hosed up tiddies), Sasha did a LOT better than I was worried she would, and I loved her spoken word piece, and with the exception of her "rap", Trinity triniturnt it out (that runway look was E V E R Y T H I N G), so I'm okay with basically anyone winning at this point. As long as it's Sasha. Untucked was better than usual, too, since it wasn't the Why It's Your Fault I Didn't Win Show with Alexis, or The Nina Bonina Brown Pity Party. Also…"Kim Chee's not sucking your dick unless it comes with a side of fries." I love Shea.

I still don't feel like anyone in the top 4 has the star power of many of the winners in previous seasons, but they're all still really good and I'd be happy with any of them winning. The wife and I died at "that bitch knew what Squatty Potty was" and Michelle's "hell yeah Squatty Potty ain't no joke!"

I think Peppermint has that "x factor" you're talking about. While I admit it's lacking in both Shea and Sasha, I feel that either one could be a very low-key winner, ala Sharon or Raja (neither of whom I felt had that quality either, despite loving them both).

Yeah Peppermint has it a bit and so does Sasha imo but you put either of them next to Alaska, Detox, Jinkx, Bob, Sharon, Bianca, etc. and I just don't feel like either of them are quite at that level.

The Berzerker posted:last week on Facebook a friend asked me why I wanted Alexis to go next, and I said this: Trinity is definitely Nerve, and Shea Talent imo. Trinity did grow a lot as a performer, but they kept talking about her as if she did badly and improved as the show went on. She won the second challenge of the year (third if you count the non-elim premiere Nina won), and her wins were spread out evenly through the season, and is very close to Shea in terms of overall score in the season. She stepped outside her box big time, and brought it in nearly every single challenge week, and imo every runway but her hometown one. To be a pageant girl and wait for the last competitive episode to do that sort of look. That takes a whole lotta nerve. Shea on the other hand is well rounded af and knows she is, and she certainly has nerve. Above all I would say she has the most raw talent of the four, and in so many aspects of drag. Pep and Sasha's letters both fit perfectly, though. Pep has charisma for days and Sasha, while not always my jam, is the most unique of the bunch. I think she brought it every week, though she never wowed me. She certainly grew on me over time, but of the four she's my least favourite. I'd be happy with any of them winning, but I'm rooting hard for The Tuck. re: Violet, I definitely think she has the 'it' factor all the other winners (but Tyra, really. Talented af but America's Sweetheart she is not) have. Gag worthy as her reveal was in the fashion show challenge, I was never really sold on her until the end, when she did her burlesque number at the reunion. Violet is incredible as a fashion queen, and imo incredibly good at the type of performances she does. She's the only winner who does that type of act, and that's important. A lot of the time she's just slotted away as a fashion queen, but I think she's much more. That season full of acting challenges did nobody on 7 any favours, really. Besides Ginger and Katya, and even then Ginger is debatable for many people. Katya got by on the producers loving her and basically turning her into the narrator of the season as long as she was on. Otherwise 7 was kind of a mess for all involved. esperterra fucked around with this message at 05:34 on Jun 11, 2017 |

He just embraced the utter whorishness of it, and would do things like spam his promo code and Loot Crate URL at post-game ragers, or fake-awkwardly shove loot crates into his videos. It was done a lot like Ru's "AVAILABLE ON ITUNES" thing.

Stroop There It Is posted:I have been waffling about who I want to win, but I think it's Shea. I'd honestly be happy with any of them, though. It's really hard! I'm sticking with Sasha because she has a really awesome aesthetic, I love her intellectual humor, and because I don't wanna be some Jenny-Come-Lately and be like "SHEA I WAS TOTALLY SHEA FROM EPISODE !", and because I would let Sasha do things to me that would make people in the hotel across the street feel filthy and debased, but seriously…Peppermint is a lip sync assassin who may be the most genuinely likable person in Drag Race herstory, Shea turns out a look every single week like a goddamn marvel (plus she managed to not throttle Nina, which deserves SOME kind of award), and Trinity has said "I deserve to win" so many times that I actually kinda believe it now. It's been said to the point of cliche at this point, but there's really not a bad option in the bunch.

I love during the stage performance Sasha slide out on the floor while Peppermint started her part. Then she crawls on the stage from the side. Like, I don't ever remember seeing a queen do an exit or entrance with that weird creepiness to it. And then listening to her CLAT portion, she definitely has a perspective and voice I like.

She looked like Truth Coming Out Of Her Well To Shame Mankind and I loved it I want to echo the sentiment in the thread that Trinity is nervier and Shea more talented, but all 4 of them possess the qualities in big ol' heaps so who cares? They're wonderful! They're top notch entertainers and I am entertained! RuPaul often describes a star as a "shiny thing that people want and want to look at" and my goodness! The top 4 are stars!
