I'm okay with Asia winning, but I felt so frustrated for Monet. Has there been another queen who has done so well in challenges, but consistently falls short on the runway? Not that this runway was bad (it was amazing), but I think the judges would've given it to her if she had worn heels and an actual wig.

Monet was robbed but honestly I liked Aquaria more than Asia too, even just for the robot "Where my people at?" But H O L Y S H I T none, and I mean none, of that skit was funny. At all. Like are there really people watching this show who go OH MY GOD IT'S LIKE LAGANGA ON SEASON 6 AHAHAHAH

Also this ep made me actively shout yes at my tv, dat double shantay was too good. I'm so glad Kameron is still in the game, and Eureka as well tbh. Cracker's my weakest link right now! Time for Untucked. e: laganja jokes are gr8 gently caress the haters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDlbg01xXiY also laganja is a fierce and great queen, and how terrible she was on season 6 is comedy gold e2: the skit was terrible however, this is a given esperterra fucked around with this message at 08:20 on May 18, 2018 |

jit bull transpile posted:Their makeup isn't bad, it's extremely stylized. You may have noticed they have pretty developed individual anesthetics. It's a big part of what they sell as performers. Ilana was also wearing a bra under a jacket. I couldn't make it through even half of an episode of their show, but they were great guests. It makes me want to look into their stand-up (I'm assuming they've done stand-up). I'm glad Kameron got to stay, but between that challenge performance and Ru's werkroom words, the writing seems to be on the wall for her. Shame

That challenge was pretty bad. Old season references are getting reeeeaally tired. That double shantay was bad. I'm really feeling for Miz Cracker It's like you can see her confidence waning as the season goes on and she wants harder and harder to succeed. I think it would have been a different story if she had edged out a win on one of those early challenges instead of just being high all the time. Also, Aquaria is piiiiiissed that she didn't win that challenge.

jit bull transpile posted:So my only thing is with these double stays happening more, don't they know ahead of time how many episodes they have for the season? So you could, in theory, look at the length of the schedule and the queen count and know from the beginning a double chantay was coming in a season. I think they both earned the right to stay but it doesn't feel like a surprise when it happens. I think the most you could do is narrow it down and say we're either getting a double shante or an eliminated queen is returning but it could be either really, plus you have to potentially factor in a double elimination Does anyone else think Monet would have won this week if she just wore some loving big hair on the runway like Ru and the judges have been practically begging her to do every week, because I do.

Also I feel like the show always accounts for either a returning queen ep or a double shantay. But it's possible they just always assume they may end up with an extra episode and go from there-- I don't think they PLAN to have a double shantay in a season. This is the first in a main season since six. And the first earned one since 5 imho.

tbf Kenya has been out for years now and was likely out during filming S4, but yeah the initial question was a bit of a choice. But hey as a gay person I'm often wondering/trying to find out if people I suspect may be gay are, I imagine trans people do the same sometimes and I doubt it was meant w/ bad intent anyway.

Bad intent or no, it's still pretty lovely. People deserve their privacy, especially when their gender or sexual orientation are concerned. Why is this so difficult for people to understand? jit bull transpile posted:Does anyone know more about Kenya?

Whatever dude. I meant that drag race online fans get hella crazy about trans people on the show (look at Carmen's reception at drag con, jeez) and I figured it'd be something that come up a lot. I wasn't watching the show live back then so I haven't heard some of this stuff. But yeah, go ahead and accuse me of being a transphobe. Read whatever you need to into my posts to get your hate quota in for the day.

The fact that Kenya is trans and the producers knew makes it abundantly clear how ridiculous our society's standards on nudity are because she showed her nips and butt multiple times and they didn't blur it. But if she was out on the show they totally would have. Anyway, I liked Kenya for the weird little ball of energy she was but she didn't do great on the show. I'm glad she's living authentically now. It makes me happy every time a RPDR girl comes out (for the second time) because you know they have to overcome a lot to do it with how hostile the fanbase can be toward trans queens.

But I hadn't seen ppl have the same reaction with Kenya. Sorry I worded my posts casually after so many people pmd me to tell me I'm too serious in here all the time. Eureka is not the most polarizing character this season, it's me!

I didn’t call you a transphobe, I said that it’s lovely to sit around making assumptions about someone’s gender identity but you can feel free to see what you want to see in my statements 🙄 Show related content because this detail has gotten boring- Eureka didn’t deserve to stay; she had a stunning runway last night, but when is the last time she truly brought something new to the table? Kameron should’ve won that lip sync outright. Keeping her old lady character for the first part was inspired, and she really brought it the entire time. It’s obvious that they’re setting up an Aquaria v Miz lip sync and the fact that the producers are pushing this riggamorris storyline is definitely disappointing. Definitely worried about Miz. Started out very strong, but she’s so stuck in her own head.
