Agreed. Eureka is an absolute pain in the rear end, and it makes me wonder what talented queen didn't make it on the show because they brought Eureka back.

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH, I do think "We forced you to do gymnastics and you got a serious injury, come back next season" is reasonable.
But, yeah, not a fan over here. I'm tired of her and she's not bringing enough to the table to make all of the Abloo bloo bloo worth it.

Eureka serves some good looks imo, but I still maintain her placement on season 9 was in effort to create an Alyssa-CoCo style feud between her and Trinity (Taylor). Of course, when that didn't work out due to the knee injury, they had to save face by inviting her back for s10 (which tbf was the right thing to do), and well...you know the rest.

You should specify Trinity K Bonet because I kept thinking you were referring to Trinity Taylor and doing that weird euro thing of distinguishing between types of white people, especially since you were bringing up Bianca Del Rio before too.

Truthiness!
I'm glad this conversation came back to Eureka, the actual problem here.

It's strange that I like reality shows so much and hate petty drama, but here we are. Vixen might be a bit extra, but if you don't like extra then you really shouldn't be watching this show. Vixen hasn't bugged me at all, but she's put herself in a place where assholes like Eureka are going to have a trivial time pressing her buttons and nurturing the next overreaction. That's the gross part to me.

Gang tags, though! It's there any way to get that text pink and sparkly like the logo?

The generator has sooome effects on it like that gradient I slapped on it, but no sparkles that I saw sadly. I can dick around with it some more after work, or if we have a photoshop fish I'm sure someone else could make it resemble the logo colour more easily.

In other news, Robbie Turner was in a fatal drunk driving accident.

Robbie was in an Uber when a drunk driver struck the car. Robbie came out of it merely bruised, but the Uber driver died in the crash. No word on the status of the drunk driver.

Vixen is combative and looking for a fight, but that makes for good reality TV.

She's also correct in how black women are perceived.

White men are allowed to be angry, argumentative, and confrontational because they're just projecting their masculinity and power.
If women do it, they're shrill bitches or just being hysterical.
Black people are angry, that's just how they are. Maybe if they toned it down and weren't so uppity, people would be more inclined to listen to what they have to say.

Also Trinity Taylor owns and TKB has not been relevant for a while, and the last time I heard anyone talk about her was when she was being transphobic on her insta live ngl

She gave me some hella iconique lip syncs tho and was charming as hell on her season. But she hasn't done a lottttt since then and the stuff she's gotten attention for has been bad.

Was going to read you for implying that Alexis Michelle's verse on C.L.A.T. was not the worst drag verse of all time but then i remembered the singing segment of Roxxxy's. Boy howdy, thank God for those other three.

I went in expecting typical pageant and she served comedy and some really interesting looks, and went on to have the second best score of the season.

The Tuck ownsss. From what I've seen of tour vids she makes an excellent host at the Ru Girl shows, as well as obvs turnting it out when she performs.

e: also i dont think her verse was nearly as bad as roxxxy's. but roxxxy's is iconic and memorable for how bad it is and trinity's isn't v memorable at all. only shea and pepper were.

Oh no, it's not nearly as bad as Roxxxy's, you're right. I think this is honestly a me thing.
It just strikes me and and always struck me as embarrassing.

They think they're being ironic but they're really just stalling. Sometimes it's cute but it's usually sad.

It's still better than how often they drop f*g in battle rap. I had to cut off a few friends after I transitioned because they couldn't admit how much homophobic poo poo they were carrying around from the scene.

it's just table-setting; and a good variation on the namedrop line can be pretty strong.

"hey there, my name's alaska
i got a tiny little question to ask ya"

that's a pretty good line, especially with her drawled out delivery

AS4 needs Trinity and Shea and to crown them both.

Unless Ongina is there. Then she wins by default. Or if they give AS1 girls a second chance ...

gently caress seriously just do a normal AS season with the AS1 cast + Ongina instead of Chad and it would be the best season of the show.

I had to unfollow Nina bonina brown on insta because she never stops live casting boring makeup poo poo and complaining about other queens.
