Probably true. Queens talked up the drama this season before airing, then it turned out Tinky Winky edited this season.

Katya is one of my favourite queens, but it's definitely one of those situations where avoiding her general fanbase at all costs is a must. Especially the ones who ship her with Trixie, and read erotic fanfiction to them at their DragCon panel, even after they're asked to stop.

Whoa wait what?!

fwiw, I was hoping Detox would win AS2. Maybe I just like the really different queens? Loved Acid Betty in S8, too.

Double posting because phone, but I loved Acid Betty, too. Wish she would come back for an Allstars, her looks were gagworthy and she was a bitch. Two of my favourite things in a queen.

Season 10 or AS3 better pack in some bitches, I feel like the drag face fanbase needs a new Willam or the old one to be unapologetically crass.

Actually, gently caress-it, bring back Tyra.

Why are drag events always during the week and always get delayed until 2/3 am? It's getting old.

^^EDIT: Because drag queen time is a good 4-5 hours ahead of everyone else (which makes sense now that I know that's usually how long it takes for them to do their makeup)

There was no official "oh no see you next time for sure though!" for Adore the way there was for Eureka.

Drag and other live performances are a good way to get people out to the clurb on weeknights. You don't need big name drag queens to get a gay bar full on a Fri/Sat night.

Events usually start a lot earlier here in LA, around 11pm to midnight at the latest because last call is 2am. I hated the early close times when I was younger but I really don't mind it now :v:

That sucks tho, drag on TV is fun but going to an actual live performance is 10x better.

Maybe it's nyc specific but Queens are always coming out after midnight or 1:00 and it's just not worth feeling like poo poo at work anymore. I'll catch it in YouTube.

When's last call / closing time in NYC?

It's 2am in LA, so everything starts before midnight so the establishment has some time to make money from drinks. After-hours house parties are a big deal, and so are illegal all-hours warehouse parties.

I'm too got-damt old to party all night but it is nice that the early closing times here push stage performances earlier.

Yeah, it's crazy late in NYC, bars close at 4am but I've personally been to shows that lasted way later as well. I don't go to weeknight shows pretty much ever as a result.

Fortunately, this finale event is on a Friday, and going to mirror the airing of drag race at least some, so it should get started a bit earlier than usual.

Tammie has a sort of Lynchian quality where you're not sure what the gently caress is going on but you know it's art.

Joselyn totally deserved it. I agree.

Aja speaking out was one thing, but when Farrah started talking about how Valentina dropped off being her friend, I was shook.

Holy Moly! DARKSEID IS!

Either they played that entire show like a telenovella or these are some of the most internally ugly queens we've had in a long time. Sounds like Valentina's "perfect" ice fairy was a self-insert after all. And Selena? Really? I've never been so uncomfortable/cringing in reaction to a show in a while, I don't recall prior shows being this way. Even the Chronicles of Alyssa and Coco weren't like this.

I don't care what screenshots someone was sending Shea because it's awfully easy to fake that poo poo. The only shade Nina casts is on herself.

Oh and P.S. Alexis still can't take the heat.

Charlie had a bad lipsink because a million reasons. No one's buying any of them.
Valentina didn't want to get to know any of the girls and is pretty shady. She was the fan favorite *round of applause*
Nina is a mess. A huge messy mess.


Eureka and Trinity had a wonderful read fest against each other :allears:

Farrah was low-key hilarious and probably came out of the Reunion the best. Trinity and Eureka also shined. Valentina destroyed a season's worth of goodwill in 10 minutes.

That was some S2 reunion realness, only somehow even more bitter :eyepop:

I enjoyed that we've now come full circle with Aja calling out Valentina during her moment, but drat, a lot of that was pretty uncomfortable to watch, esp. Farrah piling on. Gotta bring more to the table than whale noises I guess.

Fake edit: ^^^ I love that Eureka of all people managed to come out of that probably the best. I'll be glad to see her again in S10

I'm so glad the old style reunions are back :allears: it's all I wanted since season 4.

I still love Farrah, I don't know what it is but every time I see that bitch I am just SO charmed. I shoulda voted for her for Miss Congeniality. This hasn't really endeared me to Valentina or Alexis, of course. Cynthia said so little I forgot she was on this season. I straight up forgot that Kimora Black was a person.

I did love how much of a VOICE the top four, particularly Shea and Trinity had in this discussion. I feel like the crown is really between these two, now.
